pleasing remembrance of Ma- . yac s`of personal kindness
which I have experienc rom many amongst you, during my

TO THE ELECTORS OF WEST DERBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
RECEIVE my grateful acknowledgments for your
indefatigable exertions in again returning me as your
Representative in Council ; this being the third time I have
had the honour conferred upon me by your respectable con-
stituency.
It is very gratifying to have so triumphant a majority over
my opponent; which, however, would have been considerably
augmented if a large number Vile-suffrages had not been
recorded in another Ward, upon it being ascertained that the
Conservative interest was already secured in West Derby.
My public conducA,lfEs been before you for a series of years,
and I can conscientiously affirm, that it has ever been my ear-
nest desire to exert my influence, and endeavour to the utmost,
for the benefit and improvement of the town.
I remain, respectfully,
Your obedient Servant,
JOSIAS BOOKER.

A
LVING purchased from the Patentee, Dr. EMERSON,
ofanPdittystuNrDght,
for delivering the same.
This valuable and economic Paint, (being only about one-
sixth the price of Oil Paint, and yet more durable, is far supe-
rior to any other at present in use in this country,) for ont-door
work, such as Fronts of Houses,„ arid all places exposed to the
weather, giving a beautiful fine cut-stone appearance.
It being altogether of a ATitieral Composition, the atmospheric
air does not act oil it as with other Paints in which oily or ani-
mal matter is introduced ; but when laid on the walls it rapidly
acquires the hardnoteg of Stone, and does not chip or blister,—
it being fully tested that the severest American Winter has no
effect whatever on it.
It is made of any tint or shads, but a fine Portland Stone
Colour is generally preferred.
It is simple in its application, being ready for use on opening
the Cask, and may be laid on with a common Paint-brush.
From its adhesive quality it will cling to any surface—Brick,
Stone, Asphalte, or Roman Cement i to the latter it has a pecu-
liar affinity, and may be applied while wet.
Sold in Iron-bound Casks of One Cwt., 08. ; Twq Cwt., .15s. ;
Three Cut., 225. Fine qualities for Inside Work at 10s. and 12s.
per Cask of One Cwt.

COLOUR OF THE STARS.—Some undefined circumstance
in the constitution of the celestial bodies produces the
effect of their exhibiting not only a different degree, but
a different kind of lustre. Their light is by no means
uniform. The ray of Sirius differs not merely in intensity
but in kind from that of Vega; that is perceptible in this
country, but in those favoured regions where the at-
mosphere is more pure, where less of humidity and
haze exist, the difference is striking, even to the
naked eye, " one star differing from another in
glory." One star shines as an emerald, while
another glows as a ruby, adorning the winter sky with a
rich variety of sparkling gems, differing not more in size
than they do in hue or brilliancy. The circumstance of
variation of colour characterises the double stars ; and it is
remarkable that, sometimes, when one of these stars is of
one marked colour its companion is of another. There are
many instances in which a red and green star are associated,
'or a yellow with a blue. This may be the result of optical
delusion, when the stars are of different degrees of bril-
liancy ; as the eye has a tendency, when gazing on any
bright colour, to endow fainter objects near it with the
opposite colour as a relief ; but this is not always borne
out, as many instances occur in which couples, in precisely
similar situations, display no such contrast. Sir John
Herschel was at first inclined to the opinion that a diver-
sity of colour did inherently exist in each star ; but he
has subsequently appeared more inclined to attribute the
phenomenon to 'some circumstances connected with the
beholder.—Wwiders of Astronomy.
MINOR MORALS FOR MARRIED PEOPLE.--.-" The Las
word" is the most dangerous of infernal machines. Hus-
band and wife should no more fight to get it than they
would struggle for the possession of a lighted bombshell.
-----Keep an Epictetus in your dining-room, to read
while waiting for the completion of your wife's toilet.—
Married people should study each other's weak points,
as skaters lcok out for the weak parts of the ice, in older
to keep off them.—Ladies who marry for love should
remember that the union of angels with woman has been
forbidden since the flood.—The wife is the sun of the
social system. Unless she attracts, there is nothing to
keep heavy bodies, like husbands, from flying off into
space.—Wives, be lenient to the marital cigar. The
smoke always hides the most disagreeable part of the
battle.—The wife who would properly discharge her
duties, must never have a soul " above buttons.
The liberties of England have been won by mutual con.
cessions. Let the husband who would acquire the privi-
lege of asking friends to dinner without notice, remember
this when his wife hints at a new bonnet. The "wife's
want is the husband's opportunity.—Notwithstanding
the assertions of mathematicians, the marriage-ring is a
circle which husband and wife have the problem set them
of making all square.—Don't trust too much to good
temper when you get into an argument. The Indians
produce fire by the rubbing of the driest sticks.—Sugar
is the substance most universally diffused through all
natural products. Let married people take a hint from
this provision of nature.—Plaieh's Pocket Book jb,'
