PARKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING PULLEYS.
THE Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton Factories,
Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and Joiners'
Establishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are
respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S PRINCIPLE of
BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a large saving of
motive power, with an increased velocity of motion never before
obtained in limited compass, and may be applied as well to the
the first motion from the engine as to the collateral demands
upon the power, which is largely saved by avoiding the Com-
plicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog Wheels.
The principle is applied with matchlext. success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrathing Corn, Chopping'
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws{ of any required dimen-
sions ; but the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Saws-which is made to perform a
variety of duties that render' it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the pur-
chase of the royalties of any Town, County, District, or for any
individual establishment, and for directions in its application,
Apply to W I LLI A M ROW ETT, Commercial-buildings,

GENTLEMEN,
ACOMMITTEE of the House of Commons have
declared the last Election for Liverpool to be VOID, and
have thereby deprived me of the honour of being one of your
Representatives.
In proportion as I valued the proud position in which, by an
overwhelming majority, you placed me, am I now grieved
at the decision to which the Committee have come ; but you
at least have no reason to regret the inquiry that has taken
place, for, prolonged and searching as it has been, it has shown
nothing that could, in the slightest degree, impugn the purity
of your conduct, and your character remains as unsullied as
that of any Constituency in tln,rmpire.
I shall always look back td the time I was connected with
you as the proudest period of my life, and I shall never forget
the kindness I have uniformly received at your hands.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
WILLIAM FORBES AIACKENZIE.
Portmore, June, 27,1853.

TO THE BURGESSES AND FREEMEN OF THE

BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,
IMPAIRED health and numerous engagements com-
pelled my Brother, on a previous occasion, to decline the
honour, which you have now again tendered to him, of being
nominated as a Candidate to represent you in Parliament.
At present he is absent from England. As, however, the
circumstances which before led him to refuse to allow himself
to be put in nomination no longer exist, I have no hesitation
in acceding, on his behalf, to your request; and, in compliance
with a requisition so influentially signed. I cheerfully place him
in your hands, as a CANDIDATE for your Suffrages at the
ensuing Election. _ .

On all Religious, Political, and Commercial Questions, his
opinions, freely and openly expressed, are well known to you.
The Local interests of your great Borough will not, I am con-
fident, be neglected by one who was born amongst you, and who
is proud of his native town—of the enterprise of her merchants
and tradesmen—the intelligence of her mechanics—and the
sterling good feeling of her leis:wiring population.
So soon as your Requisition was placed in my hands, every
means were adopted to communicate to my Brother that flat-
tering mark of your appreciation; and I trust that ere many
days elapse he will be amongst you to thank you in person for
the high honour you have done him.

In Conclusion, have only to express a hope that, in thus
addressing you, I have not laid myself open to the charge of
presumption; and that those glorious Constitutional Prin-
ciples. for the maintenance of which you have so strenuously
exerted yourselves on former occasions, may be again trium-
phantly successful, believing, as I do, that such a victory will
be the most acceptable proof you can offer to Mr. Turner and
Mr. Mackenzie of your sincere sympathy with them, and of
your deep resentment of the contemptible and factious pro-
ceedings which have ousted those Gentlemen from the Repre-
sentation of the Borough, and entailed upon the town the ex-
pense and trouble of another Election.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful srrvant,
Liverpool, 23rd June, 1353. GEORGE H. HORSFALL.

TO THE BURGESSES AND FREEMEN OF THE

BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL

GENTLEMEN,
THE Representation of your important and
populous Town has been declared vacant by the
judgment of the Tribunal constituted for the purpose of in-
quiring into the proceedings of the late Election.
It is no business of mine to impugn the justice of this and
other analogous decisions. I have been invited to present
myself as a CANDIDATE for your suffrages by a Requisition
from a large and influential body of your Community, upon
conditions, which must, at least, exonerate me from any par-
ticipation in any possible proceedings which may have a
tendency to sully the purity of popular Election in the eyes of
its self-constituted Judges.

But this has also beeii the position of many able and honour-
able men, who have, nevertheless, rgcently been unseated by
the decision of Parliamentary Committees—men who have, in
their own person, paid the penalty of acts done by indiscreet
friends or (it may be) by disguised enemies.

After thii pref;ce for-whia recent events will at least afford
an excuse, I shall be expected to make some statement of my
political opinions. As to the personal qualifications which
have led to my introduction to this great Emporium of Com-
merce, they will be more fitly explained by others than by
myself. It would not he becoming in me to put forward any
claims to the high honour to which I have been invited, further
than to refer to the good opinion of your Fellow-Townsmen
already manifested towards me.
This opinion can only be founded upon some knowledge of
my past life, the better portion of which has been devoted to
my Country's service in the Commons House of Parliament.
In the earlier part of my public carter I was honoured and
encouraged by the personal friendship of two Statesmen,
whose connection with your Town will ever be a distinguishing
feature in the annals of Liverpool,—l allude to Mr. Canning
and Mr. Huskisson.

Following the example of these illustrious men, I proclaim
myself a Conservative Politician, the defender of the Throne
and the Altar, at the same time yielding to no man in attach-
ment to the Civil and Religious liberties secured to the People
by our matchless Constitution.
With regard to the long agitated, but now settled, question
of what is called " Free Trade," 1 am content to view it as an
accomplished Fact ; rejoiced to find that a recurrence to the first
principles of Commerce, so long viewed with apprehension by
many, is compatible, not merely with security, but apparently
conducive to the National wealth and enterprise. Some excep-
tions may, I fear, still be pointed out in the midst of the
general prosperity, greatly enhanced as that Prosperity
.has
undoubtedly been by those wonderful discoveries of the precious
metals in the remote quarters of the Globe, which have added
a stimulus to manufacturing industry and created a demand
for Shipping, unprecedented in the history of this or any
other country. But the Merchants of Liverpool must be too
painfully conscious of the deplorable condition of our West
India Colonies (once so flourishing and so wealthy), not to
admit the justice of the allusion in the preceding sentence.
Whether the case of these Colonies be desperate, or whether it
may admit of some palliation, is now one of the most in-
teresting problems which can engage the thoughts of public
men, and occupy the attention of Government.
Upon the complicated questions of Finance and Taxation, I
shall be prepared to offer in public such explanations as may
be required of me.
I have already given proofs, to which easy reference may be
made, of my devotion to the cause of British Navigation. In
fact, I can only attribute the support and encouragement I
have received in Liverpool to the attentive consideration I
formerly devoted to this great National Interest.
While I desire that all classes of my Fellow-Countrymen
shall enjoy the fullest extent of Civil and Religious Freedom, I
consider that Freedom is beat maintained by a resolute de•
fence of the Rights, Privileges, and Property of the Protestant
Church, as by Law established.
Concurring, as I do, with the just and emphatic language
recently uttered in the House of Commons by the Noble Lord
the Leader of the Government in that House, I regret that the
participation of such sentiments seems to have been disavowed
by the First Minister of the Crown.
In conclusion, I humbly venture to hope that you will
pardon this imperfect exposition of my political opinions. A
candidate for popular support, in these days, must rather look
to other and more convenient opportunities of dealing with
important questions than attempt to comprise them all within
the limits of an address.

Every honest politician has the same object in view, although
the wisest may differ as to the best means of obtaining it.
That object is the PUBLIC Goon, or, in the words of a well-
known writer, "the greatest possible amount of happiness
extended to the greatest possible number of the people."
By combining a sound moral and religious Education, with
the progressive discoveries of Science; by strengthening all
that is valuable in the Framework of Society, and improving all
that is defective, we shall best further this great end, and act
in harmony with the designs of a beneficent and over-ruling
Providence.

I have the honour to subscribe myself,
Gentlemen,
With great respect,
Your obedient, faithful servant,
HENRY THOMAS LIDDELL,

London, 23d June, 1853.

TO THE INDEPENDENT BURGESSES AND
FREEMEN OF TILE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,
ISHOULD be wanting in justice to my own feelings
as well as in gratitude to my fellow-townsmen, to whom I
am so largely indebted, if I failed to acknowledge the warm
emotions of satisfaction with which I have received a most
influential and numerously-signed Requisition, with the urgent
request that I would allow myself to be nominated as a Candi-
didate at the ensuing Election to represent this unrivalled port
and great emporium of commerce in the Commons House of
Parliament.

Had such a request not been so urgently pressed upon me, I
should not have ventured on the presumptuous act of offering
myself to your notice; for, though I, must candidly confess
that the honour is one to which my ambition never led me to
look forward, the refusal of an offerd support so spontaneously
and generously tendered, would Manifest on my part an ingra-
titude for the kindnesses heaped" upon me, and a want of moral
courage of which I would no( willingly he guilty.
My principles are so well known to most of you, that it is
hardly necessary for we to revert to them, snore than briefly to
state that—
I have no recantation to make. I have been honoured by a
seat in your Muncipal chamber for the last twelve years, and

West Derby, June 2, 1852,

TO THE INDEPENDENT BURGESSES AND
FREEMEN OF LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,

TT has been industriously circulated that Mr.
BRAMLEY-SIOORE will not be brought forward as a
Candidate for Election.
Mr. S. Mellor has informed you, that Mr. BRAMLEY-
MOORE WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD for your suf-
frages on the Day of Nomination; if any lingering doubt re-
mains on the minds of any, I beg also to inform you, and
pledge myself to you, that Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE WILL
BE PR oPOSED on the Day of Nomination, and that he
WILL GO TO THE POLL ; and, from his address, you
cannot doubt but that, if returned, he will act as your Repre-
sentative.
He is a tried man, we!l known to us a man of business, and
worthy to represent the town of Liverpool in Parliament. What
we want is a man of business, and one that we can see daily
and communicate with fully.
He has been the staunch friend of the Shipping Interest and
all connected with it, and it is admitted on all hands that he
has done more to accommodate and extend commerce of this
port, than any other Dock Chairman...-
Let us rally round him, and retuof him triumphantly as our
Representative.
At the last Election I suppiart-ed, in my judgment, the best
men, and voted for MesspiKTurner and Mackenzie.
I will now do the same, and intend to support Mr. Bramley•
Moore. I sat with Mm at the Dock Committee for years, and
know his value as a Representative.
I have read carefully the speeches of Mr. Liddell, and /
cannot find one single practical opinion, either political or
commercial, and, to my mind, they contrast strangely with
the clear business-like address of Mr. Bramley-Moore. He
tell!, you his policy, and what he aims at.

. ~
Ndone can have forgotten how by his energy he rescued
three of our noblest charities from their difficulties, and not
only freed them from debt, but, in addition, settled upon each
of them .4'2,000 for ever.

It is to him that we are principally indebted for the finest
range of Docks in the world, as it was during his chairmanship
that the works were extended on a more gigantic scale than
any previous chairman had ever dreamt of.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
JOHN LOCKETT.

Liverpool, July 4th, 1853,

TO THE BURGESSES AND FREEMEN OF THE

BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,—
HAVIN G been requested by a Deputation appointed
by a numerous Meeting representing the Free-trade and
Liberal Party, to present myself as a CANDIDATE at the ensu-
ing Election, I have cordially acceded to the summons, and
have now the honour to solicit your votes and interest. . _

. .
Liverpool justly claims pre-eminence as the first Commercial
Town on the face of the earth. The enterprise and resources
of her Merchants, the intelligence of her population,. the great
capacity for self-government manifested by the various public
institutions and monuments which have emanated from the
unassisted efforts of the people, are unsurpassed in any other
city of the globe. Moreover, in no other Town of the British
Isles are the signal proofs of the soundness of the principles on
which Free Trade was established made so manifest to the eyes
as in Liverpool.
It is impossible, therefore, that a city, whose growth, prospe-
rity, and magnificence have sprung so entirely from the general
diffusion of intelligence. and from the- application of Liberal
principles of Government, can be. adequately Represented in
Parliament unless it has at least one member whose political
convictions are in unison witkthose of the Party of Progress.
I aspire to Represent the Borough of Liverpool on the grounds
that, ever since I arrivectiit man's estate, I have been convinced
that the sound principles of Government are those propounded
by the Popular Party; that 1 have made the business of admi-
nistration, and the improvement of the condition of the people,
my special studies through life; and that, having secured my-
self an independence by the means of a laborious profession,
I have my whole time at my disposal to devote to the public
interests.

Having served her Majesty in a high judicial post during the
last twelve years at the Presidency of Bombay, I have been led
by long inquiries into the condition of the people of Western
India, to notice the close connexion which exists between that
part of Asia and the Inhabitants of Liverpool, and I am pro-
foundly impressed with the conviction that 'the resources of
that magnificent country, and the interests of the Electors
whom I am now addressing, may be developed indefinitely by
every step that is taken for the introduction of good Govern-
ment into British India. Her Majesty's Ministers have taken
the first step for applying more energy, statesmanship, and
promptitude than have been hitherto witnessed in Indian ad-
ministration ; but it depends on enlightened constituencies like
that of Liverpool, having personal interests at stake, to enforce
on the Ministry of the day further progress in the same direc-
tion, so that the interests of England, as well as of India, may
be developed to the utmost.
It is impossible in the limits of an address to make any full
statement of my political views, but probably I have said enough
to manifest to the Merchants and Burgesses of Liverpool the
general scope of my opinions; and, instead of making large
protestations as to the future, it will probably be thought more
satisfactory if I refer to antecedents in my career as the best
testimony I can bring forward in my behalf. In brief, then,
wherever I have had the power, I have fully acted upon the
Liberal opinions I profess ; as a Judge I have carried out to
the extent of my ability sound principles of Law Reform ; and
I have had the satisfaction of knowing that by simplifying pro-
cedure, by diminishing expenses, and by discharging duties
formerly performed by the officers of the court, I succeeded in
soothing the course ofjustice to the poor, and increased the
business of my court upwards of a hundred per cent. As art
Educationist, I was enabled, whilst President of the Govern-
ment Board of Education at Bombay, during a period of nine
years, to double the number of Schools, and very much to
increase their efficiency, among a population amounting to ten
millions..

To promote reforms of this nature, to develope the resources
of trade and commerce, and to seize every opportunity for im-
proving the well-being, the moral condition, and the intelligence
of the hard-working people of these realms, would be the ob-
jects to which I should devote my whole life, if I obtained the
honour of a seat in Parliament ; and I may conscientiously
say, in conclusion, that now, having closed my professional
career, though in the prime of life, there is no honour on earth
which I should so highly estimate as the being freely and
purely elected by a numerous and enlightened constituency
like that of Liverpool to represent them in the Commons
House of Parliament.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and faithful servant,
ERSKINE PERRY.
