RICHARD GRIFFITH, Chairman,

TO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEY-STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been requested at a numerous and influential
Public Meeting, of the Constituency of your Ward, to
offer myself as a candidate at the approaching Municipal
Election, to represent you in the Town Council, and having
accepted the invitation, I have now to solicit the favour of
your votes.

- Should you place me at the Council Board, I shall advo-
cate all those measures, which I consider conducive to the
prosperity of this my native town, and more especially such
as may be calculated to ameliorate the physical and conse-
quently moral condition of those classes of the community,
who, from their numbers and destitution, have the strongest
claim on any disposable public funds.
Convinced that it is the first duty of a Government to af-
ford to all classes a sound and comprehensive system of edu-
cation, without interfering with their peculiar religious tenets,
by committing them to the exclusive control of any one de-
nomination of clergy ; and believing that true knowledge is
favourable to morality and religion, I shall give my support
to the present system of the Corporation Schools, as best
caleulated to effect this object.
Satisfied that the prosperity of this town is based on its
commercial facilities, I am in favour of having Warehouses
on the Dock Quays, as a measure highly conducive to the
despatch of business and security of properity ; while the
constitution of the Board to whom the management is in-
trusted, guarantees the due protection of both public and pri-
uate interests.

As an advocate for Freedom of Trade, I am opposed to all
monopolies and legislative enactments in favour of any par-
ticular class, at the expense of the rest of the community ;
and especially to what I consider the most unjust and im-
politic of existing monopolies, namely, that of the article of
food.

If I am honoured by a majority of your votes, I shall de-
vote myself to a conscientious discharge of my duties to you
and to the public. I am, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
CHARLES HOLLAND.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING accepted the invitation of a large and influential
body in your Ward, I offer myself a CANDIDATE,
and solicit your votes for the honour of representing you in
the Town Council.
My politics are Liberal, and I have always been found as-
sociated with those who range themselves under the banner
of Civil and Religious Liberty.
An ardent admirer of the Constitution under which we
have the happiness to live, I am of opinion that the unceas-
ing vigilance of the Reformer is essential to the maintenance
of its purity, and the undiminished enjoyment of its advan-
tages.

Though a member of the Established Church, I am of Opi.
nion that no man ought to be deprived of, or
,limited in, his
Civil Rights by reason of his Religions Tenets, provided they
do not tend to the subversion of order and good government.
Believing Education to be the best mode of enabling men
to judge for themselves, and the surest protection against
the attempts either of power or faction, I will do all in my
power to promote its extension, which I think the Corpora-
tion Schools, as at present conducted, admirably adapted to
effect.

I consider the Corn-laws, as they now exist, to be equally
impolitic and oppressive, and will continue to contribute my
humble efforts for their amendment.
My opinion is, and always has been, in favour of Free
Trade.
To the proposal of erecting Warehouses on the Dock Qnays
I give my cordial assent, and will do all in my power towards
forwarding that object.
Should the above sentiments meet the approval of such a
majority of you as would be the means of placing me in the
Council as your Representative, my unceasing efforts will be
directed to promote the good of the Town and the interests
of the Ward. THOMAS TODD.
Abercromby-squpre, Oct. 3. 1840.

TO THE BURGESSES OF RODNEY-STREET

GENTLEMEN, WARD.
HAVING been invited, by a very numerous and highly
respectable Public Meeting of the Burgesses of your
Ward, to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for its represen-
tation in the TOWN COUNCIL, at the ensuing Municipal
Election. I have now to solicit the honour of your Votes
and Interest in my favour.
If elected, I will do all in my power to promote those
principles upon the maintenance of which, I conscientiously
believe, the welfare of this great town, as well as of the
country, mainly depends. 1 will support any proposition for
Educating the Children of the Poor that is based upon a
religious foundation, and is such an one as the Rectors and
the great body of the Established Clergy of the town can
approve and support : to all others, not so based, I will give
my decided opposition, consequently I shall oppose the system
now sanctioned by the Town-council. I will advocate strict
economy in the management of the Corporate Estate, and
will support opposition to any measure that I deem injurious
to the trade or to the interests of the Burgesses, let it pro-
ceed from what quarter it may. I will vote for Warehouses
on the Quays (as an experiment) to be erected, and managed
by private individuals or by public companies, on the principle
of the Herculaneum and Harrington Dock Companies ; but
I will oppose the Trustees of the Docks (the Town-council
of Liverpool, who are, and ought to be, solely, a municipal
or governing body) being constituted into a Trading Com-
pany, to the detriment of various classes of master tradesmen.
I will support any plan for the improvement of the town, or
for promoting the health and comfort of the inhabitants, that
shall receive the united sanction of the Town-council, of the
Select-vestry, and of the Commissioners of Highways : thus
securing the interests of all the inhabitants.
To all other matters that may be brought under the con-
sideration of the council I will give my best attention, acting
on the same principles and in the same manner as I have done
during the last six years, a period in which I have had the
honour to sit on several of the public boards of the town.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient and obliged Servant,
WILLIAM BIRKETT.

well. You never made a more perfect cure. I desire you

TO THE

NOBILITY

GENTRY, CLERGY, AND

ALL LARGE CONSUMERS OF TEA

WE beg leave to announce that we have made arrange-
ments, adjoining our Wholesale Offices, ROYAL BANK

BUILDINGS, to

SUPPLY FAMILIES WITH TEAS,
which will be conducted in many respects different from the
general system of the Retail Trade.
Unlike Colonial products,—such as Sugars, &c.,—Fami-
lies, when purchasing Tea, can be no judges of quality from
its appearance ; therefore, to be enabled to procure it in its
pure state, and at the lowest remunerating prices, has become
a matter of the first consequence.
Since the expiration of the East India Company's Charter
(1834), a thorough practical knowledge of this Trade has
proved most beneficial, owing to the system of deception
now pursued on the part of the Chinese in the art of dress-
ing Tea, and thereby giving it a fictitious appearance. This,
in conjunction with the complete expulsion of the English
from China, operates seriously ; so that the importing Mer-
chants at present are obliged to tranship their cargoes, with-
out time or opportunity to exercise their judgment in the
selection, as hitherto privileged to do in the British Facto-

ries at Canton.
Our great object will be to supply to the Consumer such
qualities as shall insure confidence.
