THIS Company is established upon the system, which has
been so well received by the Public, of granting Assu-
rances upon one or other of two Plans, at the option of par-
ties. These are—

Ist. The Participation Plan, by which, at a moderate
premium, the Assured are allowed to share in the Company's
profits, and to receive all the advantages of Mutual Assu-
rance, without the smallest risk ; and
2nd. The Non-Participation Plan, by which Assurers are
guaranteed a certain fixed sum, without additions, at the
lowest rate of premium consistent with safety.
The first of these plans is well adapted for those who make
their Assurance principally or entirely as a Provision for
their Families, and are desirous, without risk, to have their
policies increased by valuable additions. The second plan,
it has been found, is generally adopted by parties who wish,
either in connexion with Loans, or for the purpose of securing
Debts, to assure the largest amount at the smallest premium.
The Scale of Premiums calculated for the latter plan, and of
which examples are annexed, has been constructed as low
as safe and authentic data permit, and • offers very peculiar
advantages in the rate to that class of Assurers by whom this
plan is preferred.

- In the Distribution'of Profits, Parties assuring with this
Office have the great and well-known advantage of early
connecting themselves with- a Company established within
the last few years, which has not yet made a Division of
Profits, and which has already secured a very large and in-
creasing business.

CASTLE-STREET WARD

There was no contest in , this ward, Mr. Peter Hope who
had been named as the conservative candidate being unwil-
liing under the existing disadvantageous circumstances to
enter a contest with Mr. John Holmes. Mr. Holmes,
though not a conservative, is a man of moderate principle;
and we are willing to believe that he is possessed of an im-
partial mind, as on several questions he has not only voted,
but spoken against the schemes of the scheming liberals.
He is, probably, the best member of their party whom they
could have proposed for this ward in the place of Sir Joshua
Walmsley, the retiring member.
Mr. Robert Ellison Harvey, the alderman elected by the
liberal majority of the council, without being upon the bur-
gess roll, presided. No notice whatever was taken of the
objection to his election. Sir Joshua Walmsley gave the
first vote for Mr. Holmes, and several others followed. The
booths were kept open till a little after ten o'clock, an hour
after the last vote was given, when they were closed, and Mr.
Holmes of. course was returned to the Town-hall as duly
elected

Our municipal elections passed off without a contest in

and the Council remains constituted as heretofore—all whigs
and radicals; the latter, however, having an overwhelming
preponderance. Overtures were made by the leading whigs
to some of the conservative party, to suffer themselves to be
put in nomination, with a promise of liberal support, but
they declined the honour.

(Testimonial from Sir Harcourt Lees, Bart.)

After 'six months' experience, 1 can certify that the eradi-
cation of two corns from my feet, which have annoyed me
for thirty years, has been effected by Mr. Eisenberg. It is
impossible to praise his dexterity too much.
HARCOURT LEES, Black Rock House.
London, May 5, 1841.

(Copy of Testimonial from Wm. Murphy, Esq., M.D.)
I have been suffering with a painful corn in the sole of my
foot. Mr. Eisenberg removed it by one operation, and I
have had since the most decided ease and comfort. I con-
sider Mr. E. a dexterous and scientific operator, as I had
many opportunities na comparing his mode of operating
with that of others.

VAUXHALL WARD

There being no opposition in this ward to'Mr. William
Preston, (R,) the proceedings were comparatively uninter-
esting. A few minutes before nine o'clock a number of
the voters presented themselves at the polling booth, in
Vauxhall-road, anxious to deliver their voting papers. The
alderman and assessors were not less anxious to receive
them, and opened the poll at least two minutes before the
time appointed by law, according to their own watches !
The first names received, those of " Patrick Daly and Wm.
Hughes," being positively put on record before nine o'clock.
The poll was closed a few minutes before eleven o'clock,
62 having voted. The candidate and his friends, and a num-
ber of the voters, afterwards retired to the committee room,
Rockliirs, Vauxhall-road. Mr. Bullet' addressed the elect-
ors. He stated that they had redeeined the character of the
ward by returning triumphantly a gentleman who would
support free trade, general education, and " the rights of
man." But, however great the stake hey had in that ward,
they had an equal interest in the others, and he trusted that
every one present would turn out and give his assistance in
whatever ward he had any influence.
Mr. PKESTON briefly returned thanks to the voters for the
trust they bad reposed in him, and added, that when the
time for which he was elected had transpired he should de-
liver it up unsullied. He was warmly received.
Mr. M. ROURKE then addressed the electors. The cause
in which they had embarked was that of truth and justice,
and he trusted all present would do their best to promote
that cause in the other. wards. He had heard of some re-
flections on the Irish voters, but he could assure them that
they were unfounded, as they had come like men, and up-
wards of 100 voting papers were put in, which it was unne-
cessary to record. Cheers were then given for the candidate
and others, and the meeting dispersed.
Of course it answers the purpose of Mr. Rourke, and such
as he, to talk about the purity of the protector voters, but it
is well known that if these fraudulent votes had been ex-
punged from the burgess list, as they ought to have been,
Mr. Preston would not be at this moment the representative
for Vauxhall Wald. He enters the council-room as the
choice of a lot of spurious electors foisted on the register by
the illegal and immoral decision of our impartial and perti-
nent mayor, and not as the popular representative of those
who, according to law, have a right to record their votes.

Cross-examined :—Witness was in the employment of Mr
Pearso❑ in October, 18-10. Mr. Pearson died on the 25th of
August in the present year. Witness knew Mr. Heath by
sight. Does not know who ordered the timber ; it was given
to Mr. Pearson, and from Mr. Pearson to witness. Does
not know that Mr. Heath ordered it, nor did he ever hear
Mr. Pearson say that he had. Saw Mr. Heath in the yard
a day or two before the first load went away talking with Mr.

e, and cent it by

Pearson ; he was not in the counting-house. Never saw Mr.
M'Crea there. 13eheyed that Mr. Heath had been appliod
to for payment for the timber. Mr. Thistleton, the plaintiff's
attorney, was brother to witness ; he did not tell witness of
Mr. Heath being applied to, but the late Mr. Pearson did.
Reexamined :—Mr. Heath was a joiner and builder. !lad
transactions previously to this with Mr. Pearson, but not in
the name of Mr. M'Crea. The timber sent corresponded
with that described in the invoice.
The invoice was then put in and read ; it was as follows :

" Rev. J. B. Crea, per Robert Heath.
" To Thomas Pearson, Dr.
" Timber (detailing the particulars) £l9 Os. 9d.

ST. ANNE'S WARD

During the day great excitement prevailed in this ward.
At the opening of the poll the conservatives mustered strong,
and at ten o'clock, the first return, the numbers were—for
the conservative, 74 ; for the radical, 46. This naturally
excited the enemy, and they struggled hard to regain their
ground. At eleven they were only in a minority of 10 ; and
during the rest of the day, both parties struggling hard for
the mastery. It was as much as the radicals could do, how-
ever, to keep their ground, and with very little alteration,
the conservatives kept their station, sometimes 7,8, and 9 a-
head, but never below, until a little before four o'clock when
both parties were equal. Both parties then were put to their
wits' ends for voters ; the cars were put into requisition, and
the polling was quite equal for about a quarter of an hour.
The conservative reserve, however, came up a few minutes
before four o'clock, and at the time, the close of the poll,
they were declared in a majority of 9. A report was raised
in the radical committee room that their candidate had won
by one, and three hearty cheers were given for Mr. Chal-
mers; their spirits, however, were damped, when the official
statement announced that they were in the minority. At the
close of the poll.
Mr. PARKER made his appearance at the window of the
Pontacks and thanked the people for having again placed
him in the proud position of their representative in the
Town Council ; that was the best proof they could give him
that his conduct had met with their approbation—his success
was the best proof of that. At a time like that, it would
not be in good taste to allude to the means resorted to by
their opponents, he would rather devote himself to the task
of returning them his thanks. He did not like to allude to
the means resorted to by his opponents, many of whom
he respected personally, but the means bad been most
disgraceful. He was proud to be able tai state to them, that
they would now have a conservative Town Council, and he
was convinced also that they would have a conservative
Mayor. (Hear.) He was glad that the government of the town
was now to be placed in the hands of persons whose prin-
ciples were in conformity with those of the party at the head of
the government of the country. He trusted that the distress,
which had hitherto stared them in the face, would, now that
the Conservatives were in power, speedily disappear. (Ap-
plause,) After the toils of the day, he could do no more than
return them his warmest thanks for their exertions, and hoped
he would be able to serve. them as he had hitherto done.
ROBERT JONES, jun., Esq., afterwards addressed the as-
semblage. They had now arrived at the climax'of municipal
government, as they had of general government, and men
were in power now who felt for the people. He was glad
they had returned Mr. Parker instead of the other candidate,
who felt nothing for them, and did not subscribe to any of
the various charities of the town. (Hear, hear.)
The assemblage afterwards quietly dispersed.

for thirty years, has been effected by Mr. Eisenberg. It is
impossible to praise his dexterity too much.
HARCOURT LEES, Black Rock House.
London, May 5, 1841.

(Copy of Testimonial from Wm. Murphy, Esq., M.D.)
I have been suffering with a painful corn in the sole of my
foot. Mr. Eisenberg removed it by one operation, and I
have had since the most decided ease and comfort. I con-
sider Mr. E. a dexterous and scientific operator, as I had
many opportunities of comparing his mode of operating
with that of others.

We will now give a few brief notices of the progress of the
election in the various wards.
EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD.

The polling-placa, in former years, was at Halliday's,
Ever ton Coffee-house. It was on this occasion transferred to
New's. the Derby Arms Hotel, Kirkdale, to the serious in-
convenience of a large and respectable body of the voters.
The sttendance was great, and the scene animated. Mr.
Thomas Shaw had his committee-room in the lower part of
the premises of Mr. Hilton, bottom of Netherfield-road, and
Mr. Michael Ashcroft, at Miss Johnson's, confectioner,
Kirkdale-road, " just opposite." A great deal of cars,
coaches, &c., were driven up, particularly to the former ;
and numbers of gentlemen from Everton and the neighbour-
hood were early in attendance, and handed in their voting
papers, on their way to town. Kirkale-road and Scotland-
road presented an unusually animated appearance, from the
number of carriages and well-dressed pedestrians hurrying to
fro throughoot the day. The result of the contest was anti-
cipated at the first hour. The radicals appeared to be as dull
and gloomy as the weather, which, however, afterwards
brightened up, and the afternoon was fine and sunny. At
ten o'clock the numbers were, for Mr, Shaw 105, and for
Mr. Ashcroft 62, with a growing majority for the former.
At a quarter past ten, the Rev. Hugh M`Neile came up
in front and gave his vote. He was greeted with the greatest
tokens of respect by numbers of individuals as be passed to
and from the polling•booth.
At twelve o'clock the votes were 222 to 122, and this ma-
jority of 100 was, (most strongly.) maintained until one
o'clock,--the number then being 250 and 150 respectively.
At two it became evident that the radical could not pull up ;
and the conservatives had it all their own way. At three
o'clock the votes were—Shaw. 302 ; Ashcroft, 178 ; the num-
bers at the close being--
For Mr. Shaw 330
Mr. Ashcroft
being a majority for the former of 127 votes.
There was not the • slightest disturbance of the peace
throughout the contest. Several police-officers were present,
but they were mere spectators of the contest, which was dis-
tinguished by the greatest good humour.

D CORN MARKET, OCT. 29

We continue to receive large supplies of Wheat, and our miilers
having of late bought freely, the trade to.day was slow at last week's
prices, parcels out of condition being quite neglected. The demand
for Barley is now on the increase, and fine malting or grinding
samples made rather more money. Oats, Beaus, .and Shellings
fully supported our last quotations. .

LIVERPOOL POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER L
Since my report of the 28th ultimo, we have had rather a large
supply of Potatoes forward by vessels at this early period of tha
season, the principal part of which arc from the Isle of Man, (an e
all Cup descriptions), awl which has had the effect of checking th
operations of nealers iron: the interior for the present consequently
the business doing is quite in retail at the quay. Manx and Scotch
Cups are selling from 2s to 2s 2d per 90 lbs.
. . . . .

The Hay market w's pretty well stocked on Saturday with the
produce of this immediate neighbourhood, for which there were
ready sale, at full.prices. Pink Eyes 2s 2d to 25 ad, Cups 2s to 2s 2d,

Desserts to any extent, with a variety of Fruits, not to be
equalled in England. His Pines are of superior quality.
Melons, Peaches, Grapes, with every choice English Fruit,

J. M. begs respectfully to inform his Friends and the Pub-
lic, that his Establishment, patronised for .10 years by Roy
city and the Nobility and Gentry of the surrounding Conn
ties, is an advantage which few Fruiterers can boast of. His
extensive connections with Growers of Fruit renders him able•
to tneet every competitor. His Pines, which were placed before,
his late Majesty, were pronounced the finest ever beheld. Also.
his Forbidden Fruit, which could not be equalled in the-
kingdom, has met with the same flattering praise by her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria this summer.
J• M. begs to offer to Country Dealers, &c., Grapes in.
Barrels and Boxes, of superior quality ; Portugal Onions in.
Boxes ; also 20 Barrels of fine Portugal Quinces, for preserv-

To prevent an idea that where all the Choice Fruits are
sold, Inferior Fruits are not to he had at moderate prices,
comparison is the best test, and J. M. will sell good Foreign
Grapes, legal at 6d. per lb. Olive- Capers,
variety of Pickles and Sauces at London prices

NORTH TOXTETH WARD,

In this ward, the retiring councillor, Alexander Smith,
jun., Esq., conservative, was opposed by Wiliam LockerbYp
Esq., a gentleman entertaining the slip-slop opinions of
whiggery, an advocate of free trade, and other similar clap-
traps, with which the fallen whig faction attempted during
of office to gull the people of

SCOTLAND WARD

The radicals in this ward mnstered all their force early in
the morning, and up to ten o'clock they managed to place
their candidate in a majority of 24,. This position was
maintained only for a shorttime ; gradually they began to
fall behind, and at twelve o clock they were in a minority of
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-11-02

LIME-STREET WARD

The contest in this ward was highly animated throughout.
The greatest exertions were made by the Radicals to gain
the ascendant; but it was in vain, the Conservatives keeping
them at a distance throughout the day. The struggle was,
however, a strong one. At twelve o'clock the numbers were
For Mr. Lloyd
„ Mr. Morecroft

Majority for the former

_
Peculiar interest was attached to this ward, particularly
amongst the gentlemen of the legal profession, as botn the
candidates are attorneys. Mr. Lloyd's return was anxiously
desired, as, independent of his talents, he is personally greatly
esteemed by every one who possesses the slightest intimacy
with him. Last year the candidates were so near together
on the poll, that both parties, at the close, claimed the ma-
jority ; but Mr. Lloyd this year has polled more men than
on any previous occasion, and has also increased the majority.
When the return of three o'clock was published Mr.
Lloyd was in a majority of 28, but in the next half hour this
majority was reduced to six, which inspired the radicals with
a few gleams of sunshine. From this time the voters con-
tinued to poll as fast as their names could be taken at the
window, but the conservatives mustered stronger than their
opponents, and at the close placed Mr. Lloyd in a majority
of eight. When the booth was closed there were about five
and twenty votes still unpolled. The numbers were as
follow :

For Mr. Lloyd ...
Mr. Morecroft

Majority

Immediately after the close of the poll, Mr. Lloyd made
his appearance at the window of his committee-room, and
addressed the crowd congregated in front. He said he felt it
a high honour to be returned as the representative of the
largest constituency of the town, and when he entered the
council-room, though he went perfectly unshackled, he would
devote all his energies to carry out any representation that
might be made for the purpose of forwarding the interest of
his constituents. He exhorted all his friends to shew an ex-
ample of forbearance and good-will towards their vanquished
foes.—Mr. James Owen, the chairman of the ward, then
came forward, and in a humorous speech addressed the elec-
tors. He said there was "no mistake" this time, and that
in a " fair stand-up fight" they had beaten their opponents.
Mr. Owen was evidently labouring under great debility.
About three o'clock the mayor and town-clerk drove up at
a rapid rate, and after a stay of only a few moments, set off
for some other ward. . .
