REVISION OF THE MUNICIPAL LIST,

On Saturday the Mayor and Assessors, Melrs. Wr.ght and
Holt, solicitors, held their court for the revision of the list of
municipal voters, at the Sessions'-horse, in Chapel-street. Mr.
George Vandenhoff attended on behalf of the reform association.
and Messrs. Penilgton and Carson appeared for the conserva-
tive society. During the whole clay there wai hut a limited at-
tendance of the parties objected to, and the princ pal portion of
the time was, consequently. spent in proving the service of the
notices. So large a proportion of the names called were unan-
swered that we forbear to give any detailed!list of those allowed
or struck off, as no criterioa could be formed therefrom.

Thomas Aspinall, Rupert-Line, Everton. was called, and his
son appeared for him. Mr. Vandenh eff objected to his name
remaining on the list, on the ground that he held a situation in
the Customs in London, where he in reality resided, and that,
though he kept up a house in Liverpool for his family, yet, in-
asmuch as he could not quit London without leave of absence,
and had only been here for one month within the last two years
it could not be deemed his residence, or qualify him to give a
vote at a municipal election. Mr. Penington said, that a fa-
mily residence conferred a right of voting, and quoted an act of
parliament in proof. Mr. Vandenhoff objected to this act, that
it had been passed before the reform act, which had materially
altered the law as regarded elections. The Mayor said, that it
was his wish, in all cases, to put on them the most liberal con-
struction: it was, therefore, adjudged, that Mr. Aspinall's vote
should stand good.
Ralph Baines, Prospect-street, West Derby, was objected to
by Mr. Penington. Mr. Baines, on his examination. admitted
that his father had been dead for five years, during which time,
until last year, the rates had been paid in his father's name, the
overseer having continued, up to that time, to send in the bill in
the old form. Mr. Penington said, he had forts ted his right to
vote in consequence of not having made bis claim, whereby he
Was a sufferer from his own negligence. Mr. Vandenhoff said,
that Mr. Baines had not been guilty of negligence. Lf there
were any negligence, it was iu the overseer. The act did not
give any form of claim, and the party objected to had complied
with everything required .by that act, and had, in fact, put in the
strongest constructive claim, when he had regularly paid his
rates. Even if it were said, that the name was wrong, they had
power to rectify such a mistake. . The occupancy was distinctly
proved, and Mr. Baines was entitled to his vote. After much
argument, both between the solicitors for the respekive associa-
tions and the assessors, which, however, was principally a reca-
pitulation of the aboYe, the Mayor gave it as his opinion that the
vote ought to be allowed, as Mr. Baines had, in fact, complied
with every point named in the act as necessary to qualification.
The vote was allowed, and the announcement received with
marked approbation.

Mr. Charles Bardswell, solicitor, was called, and answered.
Mr. Vandenhoff stood up to object. Previously to the statemen
of objection, Mr. Bard-swell cross-examined the person who had
served the notice at considerable length, touching the situation
of the office and as to the person with whom he had left it. Mr
Vandenhoff said, his objection was, that at the last court of re-
vision held there, it was decided, that an attorney's office was
not counting-house within the meaning of the act, and there-
fore. if such were now held to be the case, Mr. Bardswell would
be disqualified. The Mayor said, they had nothing to do with
f)rmer decisions, but, in his opinion, the distinction was a most
absurd one. The claim was allowed amid demonstrations of
approbation. This decision confirmed the right of sixty-three
attorneys to vote. Mr. Brookes, solicitor, stood up, and re
quested as a favour, that the Mayor would direct the word
' younger" to be withdrawn from his name, as he was not known
in his profession as "the younger."
Jeremiah Booth, Park-lane. was objected to by Mr. Vanden-
hoff. It appeared that Mr. Booth had been a householder for
s one years previous to 1820, when he got married to Martha
Worthington. The rates were paid in her name ti 111834, when
he bought the house, since when the rates had been paid in his
name. The vote was held good.
Edward Christian, Lawton-street, obiected to by Mr. Van-
denholr. On his examination Mr. Christian said, that he had
only paid his rates for the last two years. The year preceding
he was unable to pay them from poverty, and he thought they
had not been paid. On reference to the books, it was found
that they hail been paid regularly for the last three years, on the
first of which the collector said the landlord had paid them.
Vote allowed.

Thomas Fergie objected to by Mr. Penington. He had mar-
ried twelve months ago a female who had been a housekeepe
for some years. but he had not previously kept house himself,
Name struck off.

Jonathan Lockwood, surgeon, London-road, objected to by
Mr. Vandenhoff. The latter stated, that Mr. Lockwood had
been struck off last year, on the ground, that he resided in a
house belonging to his father, for which he paid no rent. It was
evident, that he could only now have been a householder forone,
year. On examination, Mr. Lockwood admitted that he had
only paid rent for one year. This was insufficient for qualifica
tion, and the name was struck off.

John M'George, ,Tohn-street, Everton. Mr. Penington said,
their ground for requiring the withdrawal of this name was, that
the party was dead. At this moment Mr. M'George stepped
into the witness-box. Mr. Penington, °? Oh, we thought Mr.
M'George was dead, but I am glad to see we have been misin-
formed; here he is. The objection is withdrawn, Mr. M'George."
—Mr. M'George, "And are you going to put me off that way?
I see what you wanted, and I shall have an opportunity of re-
membering you by and by for it." Mr. M'George then with-
drew, casting rather a significant glance at the conservative
solicitors.

The court rose at five o'clock, being adjourned to half-past
nine this morning. The Mayor announced, that they should,
to-day. proceed onward through the list, which had advanced as
far as P on Saturday, after which they should proceed with the
list of claimants. The absentees of the objected were then to
be taken, and all who were absent when their names were then
called, would at once be struck off. After this those of the
claimants who were absent on the first calling of the list would
be taken, and if they did not answer, would be treated in like
manner.

Yesterday morning the revision of the list was resumed, and
those of the objections which had not been called over were gone
through, and concluded about twelve o'clock, having been gone
through, in the tough calling over the names, and deciding on
such as answered. The list of claimants was commenced about
twelve o'clock, in the same manner. When it shall have been
got through, the list of objections and claimants will again be
gone through carefully, and all parties who do not appear, who
are objected to or claim to be inserted on the list, will then have
their names struck out. The Mayor announced it to be his wish
not to adjourn the court, but continue to hold it until the whole
list should be revised. Before going into the list of claimants,
Mr. Cars.in inquired if it was the intention of the Mayor and
assessors to allow each side to cross-examine the party claiming.
The barristers had last Near allowed it, as they thought it would
lead to ascertaining the truth more correctly. The Mayor—
"Oh yes, certainly." The Mayor and assessors seem disposed
to put a very liberal construction upon the act. Very little
interest appears to he excited, the attendance at the court being
very thin. The cases generally have been very unimportant
and uninteresting. There are on the lists altogether 539 ob-
jections and 130 claimants.

tained for it on the Continent. Patients who had for years
drawn on a miserable existence, and many who had lost the use
of their limbs by rheumatism and paralysis, have, by a few ap-
plications, been restored to health; strength, and comfort, after
electricity, galvanism, blistering, veratrine, morphia, colchium,
and all the usual remedies, had been found useless. Its asto-
nishing, and almost miraculous effects have also been expe-
rienced in the cure of Nervous and Rheumatic Pains of the
Head and Face, Paralytic Affections, Contracted and Stiff
Joints, Glandular Swellings, Pains of the Chest and Bones.

HEALTH,. BEAUTY, and LONG LIFE.—An eminent
Medical Writer has remarked, and experience has proved
the tact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keepinv
the stomach and bowels in proper order, preserve health, pre-
vent disease, and generally attain robust, cheerful, and healthy
old age; for that truly desirable purpose
STIRLING'S STOMACH PILLS

are particularly adapted, being prepared with the Sulphate of
Quinine, Extract of Chamomile nowers, and the most choice
Stomachic and Aperient Drugs of the Materia Medica.
They have in all cases proved superior to every other Medi-
cine in the Cure of Stomach and Liver Complaints, Indiges-
'tion, Loss of Appetite, Sensation of Fullness, Sick Hearlach,
Pain and Oppression after Meals, Habitual Costiveness, Flatu-
lence, Shortness of Breath, Stomach Coughs, Spasms, Worms,
and Fits in Children and Grown Persons, and all disorders in-
cident to the Stomach and Bowels. They are also truly effica-
cious in the Cure of Colds, Agues, Asthmas, Rheumatism,
Gout, Jaundice, Dropsy, and Gravel, and an excellent Restora-
tive after any excess, or too free indulgence at table, as they
gently cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomach, sweeten the
breath, cheer the spirits, brace the nerves induce a healthy ac-
tion of the liver, improve digestion, ancLinvigorate the whole
system. Females who value good healtg and personal appear-
ance, should never be without them, as they purify the blood,
remove obstructions, pimples, cutaneaus eruption's, sallowness,
&c.,'and give the skin a beautiful, clear, healthy, and blooming
appearance. Persons of a plethoric'habit, who are subject to
headachs, fits, giddiness, dimness of sight, or drowsiness, sing-
ing noise in the ears, which indicat# too great a flow of blood to
the head, should be particular to take them frequently. They
are so mild and gentle in their action that-children and persons
of all ages may take them at any time, as they do not contain
mercury or any ingredient that requires confinement or restric-
tion of diet. Many healthy aged individuals, several of them
highly distinguished Members of the Royal College, who know
their value, make it a rule to take them two or three times a
week, by which they remove the causes that produce disease,
preserve their health, anal keep off the infirmities of age, re-
taining, in a surprising degree, all the energy, vigour, vivacity,
and cheerfulness of their youthful days. They should be kept
in every family as a remedy in case of sudden illness, for, by
their prompt administration, Cholera Morbus, Cramps, Spasms,
Fevers, Apoplexy, and other alarming complaints, which too
often prove fatal, may be speedily cured or prevented. Nume-
rous patients, whose cases had been considered hopeless, have
been restored to sound health by them. This can be proved by
the testimony of thousands, and shown by letters from nume-
rous patients who have benefited by their unrivalled efficacy.
To describe all their excellent properties, and the cures they
have performed, woull fill volumes, and exceed credibility; in
fact, there is scarcely any disease to which the human frame is
subject that they will not either prevent or cure, and none in
which they can possibly do harm.
