KIRKDALI

A second meeting with the electors subsequently took
place on the same (last) evening, in the same ward, but
in the district of Kirkdale. It was appointed to be at the
Bull Inn (Mrs. Bulmer's), on the Walton-road ; but the
accommodation was so inadequate for the assemblage,
that the candidate and his friends were constrained to
seek as a dernier resort the yard, or lane, at the back of
the premises. There was a goodly attendance notwith-
standing the lateness of the hour (nearly nine o'clock),
and a general enthusiasm and kindly feeling prevailed
towards the respected candidate and his friends. We no-
ticed present Mr, T. B. Horsfall, Mr. A. Hodgson, Mr.
J. S. Leigh, and others.
Mr. HORSFALL (who was called to the chair), in intro-
ducing the candidate to the electors, stated that he con-
sidered Sir D. Mackworth the most fit person to represent
them in Parliament. They could not expect from him in
the first instance, all that had been accomplished by their
late representative, Lord Sandon, but in the end he might
be equally efficient, and in some points his superior. The
noble lord had done them good service in commercial and
other matters, but he had latterly, by his Parliamentary
conduct in adopting the views of Sir R. Peel, split their
party up. After a few further observations, which could
not be noted in the dusk and the crush of the bystanders,
he concluded by a general eulogium on the character and

uprightness of the candidate, which was followed by loud
cheering._

Sir D. 111Acxwon.TH said he was greatly indebted to
the chairman for the kind manner in which he had intro-
duced him to the meeting. Had he not been invited by
an influential portion of the constituency, he would not,
being a stranger, have appeared as a candidate, and should
have been the less inclined to do so had he not felt that
call to be for the support of the Protestant cause. He
had already spoken of the navigation laws, the mainte-
nance of which he looked upon as the great means of
promoting through England, and through Liverpool
especially, that maritime supremacy which was the glory
of the country ; and he hoped Liverpool would take the
lead in that important element. (Hear, and applause.)
He next adverted the new poor-law, expressing his
opinion that local boards were more adequate to manage
such matters than three gentlemen resident in London.
He repeated his opinions on the tea question ; advocated
an abolition or reduction of the window duties, and several
other imposts, so far as was consistent with the financial
and honourable engagements of the country; expressed
his kindly feeling to Catholic Ireland, but his determina-
tion not to endow her Roman Catholic priesthood, for the
sake of her people and the priests themselves, and con-
cluded a general appeal to those who heard him, and a
desire to reply to any questions that might be put. He
spoke with more fluency and more vigour than he had ex-
hibited, we think, at the Exchange, and sat down amidst
loud cheers.

Mr. Hodgson addressed the meeting at slime length,
and in an eloquent manner, as afterwards did Mr. Hors-
fall. No questions were put to the candidate.
A resolution was unanimously passed, to the effect that
Sir Digby Mackworth was a fit person to represent the
town, and, after repeated cheers in his behalf, the meet-
ing separated.

MR. ENTWISLE AGAIN A CANDIDATE FOR

SOUTH LANCASHIRE

It is with great gratification that we have to announce
to our readers, that Mr. Entwisle, the valued colleague of
Mr. W. Brown in the representation of South Lanca-
shire, has been induced, by the circumstance of no other
candidate being in the field, and by the solicitation of his
friends, to offr himself again for that division. It will
be admitted that there are few members who have more
faithfully acquitted himself of the trust imposed in him
than our own valued county member. It will be remem-
bered that, in announcing a short while ago, -his determi-
nation not again to solicit a seat, Mr. Entwisle stated
that he could no longer conscientiously advocate the
views which he originally entertained with respect to our
fiscal policy. To this opinion he still adheres, as expressed
in the following paragraph of his address, published in
the London Times of yesterday :

" In my last address I stated freely, and without reference to
my own prospects, the altered views which had been forced
upon my mind by the distressing circumstances in which this
country, and more especially Ireland, had been placed by the
alarming deficiency of food, against any recurrence of which
we are bound to provide by every means in our power. That
the changes already effected necessitate the reconsideration of
many other questions of our policy, domestic and colonial as
well as foreign, a man must be bold indeed to deny. -Justice
and consistency both demand the application of the same law
for all. I shall be prepared, in whatever station, public or private,
I may be
.placed, to advocate the progressive adaptation of our
commercial system to the new state of our tariff and our altered
relations both at home and abroad, and I earnestly and confiden-
tially hope that the enterprize and perseverance of our mer-
chants and manufacturers, backed by the skill and industry of
our people, will not only render successful the struggle they
have themselves to encounter, but afford a useful example to
our fellow-countrymen engaged in agriculture of the only
means by which success can be permanently secured."

We heartily wish him the success which his past con-
scientious course has merited ; and, in fact, we confi-
dently expect that he will be returned without a contest,
as there seems no probability of Mr. Villiers consenting
to become a bona fide candidate.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON CORN MARKET

YESTERDAY,

Thee weather has undergone a complete change since our last
report. On Saturday we had a thunder-storm and heavy rain,
the temperature considerably lower, and the barometer indi-
cating more rain.

The letters received this morning from various parts of Eng-
land, report an extensive blight in wheat, beans, and peas, and
the disease in potatoes manifesting itself in the United (ing-
dom, as well as in Ireland, Holland, and Belgium.

At' this day's market there was a more liberal supply of Eng-
lish wheat, and the general runs from Essex more inferior in
quality. Factors demanded 4s. to ss. perquarter more money,
which checked business; but ultimately a fair clearance was
effected at about 2s. per quarter above the currescy of this day
week.

In foreign their was a good healthy consumption, country
demand, but_ no advance could be generally established.

The trade in Indian corn is for the present paralised, in con-
sequence of the government interference with the mechrants'
trade in Ireland, complaints of which reach us- from all parts
of that kingdom.

Barley and malt stationary. Egyptian beans in good demand,
at 2s. to 3s. advance. Peas is. to 2s. dearer.

Lts being more moderate, the turn in price
