TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1853.

THE

WEEK.

THE excitement of the Election having passed over,
the talk of the town has naturally turned on the
various incidents of the contest. The rumours
about a petition were strengthened by a statement of
the notorious Mr. COPPOCK before the Select Com-
mittee on Elections, that he had instructions to
prepare one, but the impotent threat has been
laughed at by every sensible man as too absurd for
serious refutation. If any inquiry into corrupt
practices were needed, the Radicals would be the
only party whose conduct would suffer from inves-
tigation. The analysis of the poll, which we have
given in another column, will show that so far from
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE having injured the position
of the Conservatives, almost the whole of the votes
he received were splits with Sir E. PERRY ; and
some are of opinion that his presence as a candidate
increased the Conservative majority, by exciting
many to come forward who might otherwise have

refrained from voting.
It will be seen by the Parliamentary report, that
both our new Members have taken part in the dis-
cussion of the Ministerial Merchant Shipping Bill.
We do not agree with them in their support of the
clause which legalises the employment of foreign
seamen in British ships, for reasons which we have
stated more at length in a leading article ; but we
give them credit for sincerity, and for fairly repre-
senting the general feelings of the great body of
shipowners. We quite coincide with them in their
support of the clause continuing the right of the
royal navy to payment for salvage services, as we
believe that its abrogation would be a serious
injury to the merchant service, by destroying the
incentive to officers and seamen in the royal navy
to hazard their lives for the rescue of merchant

vessels in danger.
Now that more leisure is afforded for matters of

purely local interest, it is hoped that some attention
will be given to the various schemes which have

been submitted for improvements in our means of

internal communication. The town continues to
extend in importance and population, and as the
traffic increases more commodious thoroughfares are
required for circulation. Some additional interest
is given to this subject by the exhibition of a mo 'el
of Liverpool as it existed two hundred years ago.
Much has been said about the rapid growth of
towns in the New World, but let any one survey
this model, wherein green fields mark the site of
Lord-street, and a pool where the Custom-house now
stands, while Oldhall-street was bounded by hedges,
and they will admit that Liverpool presents as
tance of rapidity of growth as any-

triking an ins

thing which America can show. The increase is
now fully as rapid as ever, and is likely to be still
more so, owing to the vast trade opened with
Australia, and the establishment of new lines of
steam communication with the west coast of Africa,
the Brazils, and the Isthmus of Panama, all pro-

mising still greater trade to our port, and rendering
necessary increased facilities for the traffic of our

The weather during the week has been partially
wet and stormy, and some damage has been done to
the crops of hay, of which a large quantity has been
cut and not carried. The cornfields are looking
very promising ; and should the next few weeks be
dry and sunny, we may anticipate an early and pro-
ductive harvest. Some complaints are made as to
the re-appearance of the disease in the potato crop,
but as yet it is only partial, and the markets are
fairly supplied.

The Liverpool races attracted, as usual, a goodly
attendance of sporting characters on the course at
Aintree; but the contest for the cup, on Thursday,
which was the great event of the meeting, was

sadly shorn of its honours by the unpropitious state
of the weather; the rain falling heavily during the
day, and rendering it difficult to decide whether
land or water had the pre-eminence.
The exhibition of models of new American ships,
at the Exchange News-room, has excited much in-
terest, as showing the great attention which our

transatlantic competitors are paying to the important
quality of speed in sailing vessels. The Flying
Cloud and the Sovereign of the Seas have gained a
reputation for fast qualities which must stimulate
our ship-builders to renewed efforts at improvement
in this respect; but the model of a ship now build-
ing at New York, of the extraordinary capacity of
5,000 tons, is more admired for its symmetry than
the above-mentioned.
