THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1853.

I At length, says WILLIAM WILLIAMS, "What a hoax is this,
I "

Old FRESH, F lELD thinks that such a case ne'er took place in
Room 13,
While MAXWELL -swears the Freemen have done nothing
that is wrong.,
But for putting Master BILL in quod the case is very strong.
Oh, the gallant loung petitioner, all of the modern time.

CLABON stoutly cries for cash, KINGLAKE'S heavy speech
to pay,
As also the dear son-in-law, old BODKIN, and MAcAutAv,
And the great cloud of witnesses—the drunk ones they did call,
The wronged 'Postmen and the lobby hoGt they never ask'd
at all.
Those precious honest gentlemen, all of the modern time.

Young BILLY has ta'en the rail, third-class, 16-and-9,
And, when at the Blisworth Junction, he steppeth out to dine,
He's heard to groan a fearful groan, " 0, direst woe is mine,
And, before I'll go that road again, I'll cross the salt sea brine!"
The conscience-smitten Quaker's son, all of the modern time.

And now, my friends, I really think that here the youth was
right,
For did you e'er n poor boy see in such a precious plight ;
And I'm told that if the " Liberals" do not cash up to-night,
It's feared he will betake himself to Brownlow-hill or flight,
This fine young English gentleman, all of the modern time.

We had a fancy that the Scotch were mostly Whigs;
but it would seem that we have one of the right stamp
among the Northerners stationed here—o-ne, who is a good
poet as well as a good politician. His rhyme is sung to a
popular Scottish tune, which has been rendered popular
in the sal:th by a son of the celebrated Braharo, and other
vocalists of note : _

SONG.
Tune—Lizzy LINDSAY.
PART I.
Will ye gang wi' me, ROBBY RONALD,
Will ye gang up to London wi' me ;
Great glory to gain, ROBBY RONALD,
To share a' the honour with me ?

To gang and petition wi' you, sir,
I think I will even agree ;
If sae be that the case is sae black,
As the lad says that I am gaup wi'.
PART 11.
Oh ! RATHBONE, lad, ye maun ken little,
To mak' sic a big fool o' me,
For my name is the stainless ROB RONALD,
An elector o' highest degree.
O❑ his pate he has planted his castor,
An' he's aff frae the lang committee,
An' awa' wi' the rail is Ron RONALD,
Oh I how savage an' sullen is he I
Tosteth-park. DORIC REEDS.

THE HON. H. T. LIDDELL AND THE
REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.

IT will afford much gratification in this and the adjoining
counties, as well as to the admirers of political character
and statesmanlike ability throughout the kingdom, to
know that the Hon. 11. T. Liddell has been invited by the
unanimous expression of the leading Conservatives of Li-
verpool, embodied in an influential requisition, to allow
his name to be brought forward, in conjunction with that
of Mr. Horsfall, for the representation of that most im-
portant constituency of the kingdom at the ensuing elec-
tion, to supply the place of Messrs. Forbes Mackenzie and
Turner, just unseated. This invitation, which is couched
in most complimentary terms, and pays a well-merited
tribute to his political consistency and parliamentary ser-
vices, the hon. gentleman has, we are happy to say, seen
it his duty to accept. We feel assured he will have the
sympathy and good wishes of many old and valued friends
in the northern counties ; and it must be gratifying to
the hon. gentleman to find that one and all of his poli-
tical friends are unanimous in their approbation and sup-
port. It is important at this crisis, when custom-house
and other commercial reforms are loudly called for, and
suitable measures of relief for the shipping interest remain
to be secured, that the first shipping port in the world
should be suitably represented ; and the two counties,
who remember the able and consistent parliamentary
services of Mr. Liddell, are in the best position to congra-
tulate the electors of Liverpool upon their choice of a
candidate who, whether as regards private worth, political
integrity, or statesmanlike conduct, as well as intimate
acquaintance with the varied interests with which Liver-
pool is identified, and upon which the welfare of the king-
dom depends, is the most eligible which they could have
selected. As the representative of that great maritime
and commercial constituency also, the hon. gentleman
will occupy that elevated and influential position to which
his great experience and talents, as well as sound political
Principles, entitle him ; and the legislature of the country
will derive no small advantage from the matured parlia-
mentary experience, as well as the Conservative portion
in the House of Commons additional weight, from the
accession of so consistent and able an advocate.—New-
