WEDNESDAY.

On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Mackenzie and Mr.
Turner, with a few friends, visited the Exchange, where
they were most enthusiastically received, and proceeded
from the room to Messrs. Littledale and Co.'s office,
from the windows of which they addressed the merchants
and a numerous audience below. As the latter gentleman
was concluding his speech, Mr. Cardwell, :with Mr.
Evart, and a number of his committee, entered the area
of the Exchange, and proceeded to the office of Messrs.
H. and J. Hornby, with a view to address his friends
from one of the windows. This was the commencement
of a scene such as has never, we believe, been witnessed

in Liverpool. It was evidently felt by the multitude
assembled that the intrusion of the Whig-Radical candi-
dates at that particular moment was a piece of bravado ;
and it was resented so as to render bath the gentlemen
perfectly inaudible. It was raining in torrents during
the whole of the time that they were making a vain
attempt to be heard ; and altogether their reception
appeared to disconcert them and their friends. At the
conclusion of Mr. Ewart's address, that gentleman
announced that his fellow-candidate and himself were
about to visit the Exchange News-room. And, a few
minutes afterwards, they proceeded across the flags
and entered the room. When they had reached the
south end, Mr. Cardwell took his place upon one of
the tables, evidently with a view of addressing the
assembled merchants. He was dislodged, however,
without having made the attempt to speak ; and in a very
short time, in a manner which very likely he is not yet
cool enough to describe, found himself and his friends
outside of the building in which he had intended to make
an oratorical display. In the evening, we find that he
consoled himself by addressing a meeting of his can-
vassers and friends, who were admitted by ticket, at the
Royal Motel, Dale-street.

Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie on the same evening
attended a meeting at West Derby Ward, where they
were most enthusiastically received. Alderman J. N.
Wood was unanimously called to the chair, and amongst
those present were Messrs. F. Shand, T. Bold, L. Peel,
A. Henderson, R. Aked, R. Sanders, W. Rowett, J.
Gaskell, W. Whatham, J. Bailey, Jno. Whitby, Wm.
Pearson, H. Bremner, Dr. Lister, H. Golding, T. Tat.
tershall, J. G. Livingstone, Wm. Mynn, &c. The
speeches of the two candidates contained a sound expo-
sition of Conservative opinions; and the meeting was
subsequently addressd by Mr. Rowett, Mr. Whatham,
Mr. F. Shand, Mr. T. Bold, and Mr. Alderman Wood.
At the close the candidates, with their friends, proceeded
to another meeting of Everton and Kirkdale Wards,
which was held at the Liver Hotel, Mr. G. H. Lawrence
taking the chair. The proceedings here were most enthu-
siastic ; and, after leaving the meeting, the horses having
been taken out of the carriage, Messrs. Mackenzie and
Turner, amidst the most enthusiastic demonstrations,
were drawn by the populace to the Adelphi Hotel. Several
gentlemen accompanied the carriage ; and the cheering
throughout the route was hearty in the extreme. At
Messrs. Cardwell and E wart's committee room three
groans were given for the Radical and Romanist candi-
dates. Everywhere, though it was ten o'clock at night,
doors and windows were thrown open to greet Messrs.
Mackenzie and Turner, who, together with " the Queen,"
" the Earl of Derby," and " our Protestant Institutions,"
were frequently and loudly cheered.
