WEST DERBY WARD.

A Radical meeting of the West Derby Ward was held at
Mr. Coombe's, Edge-hill, on Friday night last, to determine
on a suitable person to representthe ward at the ensuing elec-
tion. Mr. R. \V. Wood was proposed, upon which, he made
a speech, and reflected upon the persons who had not sup-
ported him at the last election; declaring that such were not
real Reformers, although professing to be so—a hint was also
thrown out, that he doubted not, that some individuals were
there as spies, and would convey the result of their meeting to
the Tory camp. Upon this Mr. Ex-Collector Pennell (who
by the way has no vote) wished the meeting to adjourn to his
"little back parlour," where they could talk the matter over
more privately, taking care not to admit any person, who did
not belong to the whole hog" clique. Many of the party
seeming any thing but desirous of becoming acquainted with
the secrets of that prison house, and, more particularly, of
being classed as " Pennell's hogs," over-ruled the proposition ;
and, Mr. Wood proceeded to say, he was anxious to learn from
Mr. Ex-Overseer Willan, (who knew as much 'of the ward
at any one present) if he thought there would be any chance
of succeeding this time. Mr. W. observed, that he enter-
tained no doubt, if an "out-and-outer," whose name stood
A. I, at Lloyd's, would oppose Mr. Leigh, that from infor-
mation he possessed, the majority would decide for the" whole
hog." Mr. Hardman Earle was spoken of as a gentleman
very suitable for their purpose, but the "respectable assem-
blage" were divided in their opinions. A conversation then
ensued, between Mr. Ex-Collector Pennell, and Mr. Ex-
Overseer Willan, the former expressing an ardent desire to
become a councillor, the latter, however, put au extinguisher
upon the ambition of the former, by telling him "he would
not do," and thought he (Mr. \V.) had better be nominated.
The Knight of the Clod felt chagrined at this unexpected
check, by replying, that inasmuch as he had the confidence (!)
of the ward, he was sure of success, and could get six votes to
Mr. W.'s one, at "army Louise." Some further desultory
conversation transpired, when it was resolved, "that a com-
mittee be appointed to wait upon different gentlemen, with a
request that some one would allow himself to be put in nomi-
nation." Mr. Wood informed the meeting, that he declined
coming out on the present occasion.
Perhaps the "unostentatious" steward of the national con-
vention will,have an opportunity for the display of his vanity,
and classic powers of oratory, by being brought out on the
shoulders of the people, if so, will he not bid defiance to all
opposition ? 0 tempora 0 mores !—From a Correspondent.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SCOTLAND WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING received a Requisition inviting me to offer
myself as a CANDIDATE for the Representation
of your WARD in the TOWN COUNCIL, I have to state
that I readily accede to your reqnest. My political senti-
ments are unchangeable. I have always advocated the free-
dom of the subject; but I have been wofully disappointed by
the effects of Reform, both in Parliament and likewise in
our own Corporation. It is high time that men of all political
sentiments should unite, in this great town, to endeavour to
promote its general interest and welfare.
Gentlemen, after the present, or Reform Council was
elected, I thought that all extravagant salaries and useless
places would have been abolished ; but I have been most
egregiously deceived, they are all retained, and even new
and useless places are created, for no other purpose but to
provide for their immediate friends.
The public funds have been squandered, amongst lawyers
and attorneys, in an unprecedented manner. I need only
refer to the items in our Corporation accounts for the proof.
Unless we have retrenchment, reform is worthess. It has,
hitherto, been a change of men without any alteration of
measures—except, indeed, for the worse. The expenses in
every department are equal to those of the former Corpora-
tion, and, in too many instances, exceed them. I consider it
to be the duty of every one, whatever his political opinions
may be, to remind those who term themselves Reformers of
their former professions.
I beg leave to conclude by stating, that I have never been
deterred by frowns, nor swayed by favours, in the due per-
formance of my public duties; and, be assured, Gentlemen,
that. in the event of my being elected your representative in
the Town Council, I shall not swerve from these principles.
• I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

( From the Leeds Intelligencer.)
THURSDAY, HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK. - The dis-
turbance has again broken out more fearfully. The English
are determined not to allow the Irish to work. A large num-
ber of the former congregated this afternoon in front of the
residence of Mr. Stephenson, and manifested a determination
to pull the house down. In consequence of this display of
feeling, and for the purpose of maintaining the public tran-
quillity, a detachment of the artillery has arrived from Shef-
field ; and with the assistance of the special constables, have
succeeded in apprehending a number of the ringleaders:

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA.

COTTON.—The New Orleans True American says, "The banks
of the Mississppi have been somewhat unfortunate in their cot-
ton speculations this season. What with the snagging and burn-
ing of steam-boats, and the inroads or the lightning on their
Liverpool Ships, the balance is likely to be on the wrong side of
the'account."

LOSS OF FOUR STEAM-BOATS—BURNING OF THE
lAARMORA AND CUMBERLAND STEAM-BOATS.
(From the New Orleans Merchant, Jan. 23.)
• A fire was discovered at an early hour this morning on board
the steamer Marrnora, from Machitoches, loaded with cotton,
1203 bales, which communicated with the Cumberland lying on
the 'starboard side; and the Chickasaw on the larboard. The
Marmora and Cumbelland were wholly destroyed, and the upper
cabin of the Chickasaw was nearly destroyed beforethe
engines
succeeded in stopping the flames. The 'Cumberland was light.
At about half past ten the hulls of the Marmora and Cutnberland
.slid from their moorings and sunk into the river. No account
of the fire which caught near the boilers has come to our know-
ledge.—The'loss estimated by the Picayure is 80,000 dollars.
The steamer, Pittsburg, from New Orleans to Red River,
struck on a snag, on the night of the 16th Jan.. three miles
below Baton Rouge, and sunk in two hours. The cargo,
estimated at 15,000 dollars, with the vessel, is entirely lost.

•OItAT.ORIO ON BEHALF OF THE POOR.—The Oratorio for
this truly charitable object in the present season of distress,
is announced for Tuesday evening next, at the Theatre Royal,
When .Handel's sublime Oratorio a the Messiah is to be per-
formed. • The Grand. March and Chorus from Beethoven,
"Crown ye the Altar," will be also introduced. There is some-
thing strikingly appropriate in the name of the Oratorio cho-
sen, to the objeo which it has to serve. We need hardly
'express otir confident anticipations that the house will be an
evidence of the overflowing charity of the public.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 26.
The market commenced this morning with a very few Beasts, owing
to the still prevailing easterly winds having prevented the arrital of
vessels with cattle, consequently there was a considerable advance of
prices from our last week's quotations. A few Beasts and Sheep ar-
rived at a- late hour,which were readily bnught up. There were many
country buyers present, but left without making any purchases. owing
to the great scarcity and high prices demanded. The supply of Sheep
has been also very limited, but with little or no alteration in price from
last week. Good Beef was eagerly bought at from 6d to 64d ; Ulterior
quality, sid per lb. Good Wether Mutton sold fully at id ; inferior

CHURCH LEASES AND IRISH TITHES.

Lord JoHN iIuSsELC wished to give notice that on the 131 h of
March, he should propose a committee on church leases. He
wished likewise to stale that he hoped to be able next week to
state the terms of the notice of the course intended ro be pur-
sued by the government respecting the Irish tithes. (Cheers.)
He wished likewise to state, io answer to a question, put to him
yesterday, which he answered at the time with respect to the
detailes relative to persons.con6ned in the Penitential v.at Mil-
bank, that he hail thought it best to ask for a report from the
committee of the Penitentiary with respect to the circumstances
that had been detailed by the hon. gentlemqn who asked the
question. 'He 'mold not say this without at Ore saine time re-
turning his thanks to the hon. batonet who hail put the question
yesterday for having given him notice of his intention to do so—
(cheers)—and for having proposed the question merely for in-
formation. (Cheers.) He must at the same lime deprecate the
contrary practice—that of bringing forward subjects; attacking
and making imputations against a minister of the crown, and
taking care to bring that subject forward without notice being
given in that house. (Cheers.) •
Lord SAN DON rose to order, amid opposition cheering. He
wished to know whether it was according io the rules of the
house, that remarks made in the other house should be noticed.

cheeriog from the tory benches.)

for a second or two, amid the most violent cries of Chair,

ship again rose, but was greeted with the same vociferous cries
of "Chair, chair," when
The SPRAKEIi, as we understand, said the general rule was
not to notice a particular transaction in another house; and the
uohle lord having asked whether and body bad been attacked in
that house, he was bound to say he was not aware that such
bad been the case.

rather a tend‘Mcy downwards. The sales yesterday were 3,500 bat",
to-day 3,000 are sbld.

. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, ran. 27.
.The frOst continued with unabated.severity until Friday last, since
which we have a decided thaw, but even with a steady continuance
thereOf, it will be a week or ten daya before'shipments by canal navi-
gation can he freely made; and, chiefly owing to a continuance of
easterly winds'an, I very storn.y weather, our imports of Grain, Four,
and Oatmeal have been moderate. Sales have been made to a fair ex-
tent here. during the past week of Wheat at fully the prices of last
Tuesday, of Oats 'at Id per 451 h of Oatmeal at 6d per 2401 b, and of
Flour at 9d to Is. per 701 h advance, and of all other articles in the trade
'at fully our last quotations. The' onlYalteration in the duty on Grain
from foreign ports since Friday is an increase of is 6d per quarter on
Rye., There has been more inquiry for bonded Wheat, Oats, and
,Flour; but the transactions have •been very Rafted, and no alteration
elil be noted in the general quotations thereof.—At this day's market
the transactions were very limited; but the prices last quoted were
fully supported for every article in the Corn trade. For very superior
qualities of Irish Wheat an advance of Id to 2d per 70lb was obtained,'
and the increase. above noted was -steadily demanded for superior

SHORT-HAND.

AS an EXPERIENCED and PRACTICAL SHORT-
HA NDWRITER, Mr. T. C. FOSTER, REPORTER
FOR THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, has frequently beeen applied
to, and now offers to give LESSONS in the above Delightful
Art. Of its general and sometimes important utility, as a
ready and secure mode of taking Memoranda, copying
letters, &c., there cannot he a doubt; even if it be not wanted,
as a splendid triumph of art over what otherwise would be an
insurmountable difficulty, to take down verbatim Sermons,
Speeches, Trials, &c. as tbev are spoken. "La Strlnograpie,"
says Massieu, a L'Abbe &;icard, "va comme le cerf ou le
cheval, mais l'ecriture ordinaire comme le bceuf."
Mr. T. C. FOSTER makes no profession of being able, by
any short
.process, to make a perfect Short-hand Writer. To
those anxious to learn from him he will give the whole of his
System, whereby. with the requisite diligence, they may be-
come equally prolicients in tile art with himself.—Applications to
be made at the Standard Office.

MANCHESTER—tUZSDAY EVENING.
The business done since, our last quotations on the Ches:f,:.
Cup has not alter-d in any important degree the.positions then
held by the leading favourites. 6tol is offered on the field,
and 9to 2 freely given,." bar two." Wis a nice point to say
which is second in command. so close together are Sylvan and
Wentworth. The offers to take 10 to 1, to a good sum, upon
Mr. Robinson's horse, exhibit an improvement in his position.
One of the most conspicuous features in the doings, at the.close
of the week, was the manner in which Mr. Bower's horse Lord
Stafford, was supported by (we rather think) Liverpool gentle-
men: So much spirit was shoin in baCking hiM, that the clos-
ing of the engagements made, which commenced at 20 to 1, was
26 "penies" to 1. On Saturday night; King Cole, Zohrab, and
Parolles; were each supported at the price attached to their
names; and, since that time, Magician has been backed at a
point beyond What was accepted in Liverpool on Wednesday
last. Neither Mersey, Combat, nor any of the-others; have
been noticed in.a manner to call for remark.—We May state
the Derby offers at last week—say, 9 to 2 ou the field. • There
has, however, been some considerable Weight of Money laid out
(by the same' party that backed Lord'Stafford) oil the Marquis
'of Wertminster's Richard Roe, at 25 to 1, all 'the hundreds
were taken tin that could then be got on ; and so fond were the
takers, that 20 to /•Was the highest offer 'made. We should,
hewever, imagine, that the price being 30 to 1 at Tattersall's
yesterday, there' would he snectilators td be found. liow; who
would be willing to give two or three points more, and who,
perchance, would not fight a shy game at '25 to l',:were his ad-
