Mr'.'TowNsE.ND gave the next toast—" Prosperity to
the ancient Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyne "—and
congratulated the constituency upon having. selected Mr.
Jackson as its representative.
Mr: JACIiSON replied in a brief but very.neat speech.
Mr. SWINTON BOULT proposed the next toast—" Pros-
perity to the Birkenhead Docks"—and, in the course of a
very able speech, expressed his opinion that, in no brief
space of time, the measures recently passed 'would bring
into play both sides of the Mersey, and that Liverpool and
Birkenhead would flourish together as twin sisters. He
deprecated the efforts of little men to cast the name of
Jackson into the shade—a name which was identified with
the name of Birkenhead.
