TO. THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH TOXTETH WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
T TRUST you will believe that I feel more fully than the
1 occasion will at present allow me to express, the kind-
ness you have again been pleased to show towards me, in re-
questing that I will allow myself to be nominated as a Candi-
date to represent your Ward in the Town-council, at the en-
suing Municipal Election.
In coming forward as a Candidate for South Toxteth Ward,
I beg to say that I am not actuated by any illiberal or intole-
rant spirit towards the Dissenting body, or by an unwilling-
ness to consider fairly the redress of any real grievance ; but
I am bound to state that I cannot consent to the alienation
of Church Property from strictly ecclesiasitical purposes,
considering as I do the establishment of the Church in con-
nexion with the State necessary to the prosperity of the em-
pire.
_

Gentlemen, I am well aware that the surest guarantee for
the happiness and prosperity of a town, and the most efficient
means of promoting both, is to administer the laws with a
steady and impartial hand. If elected by you, I shall use my
best exertions to unite with those who are desirous of so
doing.
In conclusion permit me further to add—to all questions
of a local nature, particularly the Education question and the
erection of Warehouses on the Dock Quays, I shall give the
most serious consideratiOn, and will willingly adopt those
improvements which experience may sanction and the re-
sourses of our town enable us to introduce, and, from time to
time, to extend their plan so as to embrace every department
of science which circumstances may require.
I respectfully subscribe myself,
Your devoted servant,
Mill-street, Oct. 2, 1840. JOHN SHEPPARD.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ABERCROMBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING accepted the invitation of a large and influential
body in your Ward, I offer myself a CANDIDATE,
and solicit your votes for the honour of representing you in
the Town Council.
My politics are Liberal, and I have always been found as-
sociated with those who range themselves under the banner
of Civil and Religious Liberty.
An ardent admirer of the Constitution under which we
have the happiness to live, I am of opinion that the unceas-
ing vigilance of the Reformer is essential to the maintenance
of its purity, and the undiminished enjoyment of its advan-
tages.

Though a member of the Established Church, I am of opi-
nion that no man ought to be deprived of, or limited in, his
Civil Rights by reason of his Religious Tenets, provided they
do not tend to the subversion of order rnd good government.
Believing Education to be the best mode of enabling men
to judge for themselves, and the surest protection against
the attempts either of power or faction, I will do all in my
power to promote its extension, which I think the Corpora-
tion Schools, as at present conducted, admirably adapted to
effect.

I consider the Corn-laws, as they now exist, to be equally
impolitic and oppressive, and will continue to contribute my
humble efforts for their amendment.

My opinion is, and always has been, in favour of Free
Trade.

To the proposal of erecting Warehouses on the Dock Quays
I give my cordial assent, and will do all iu my power towards
forwarding that object.
Should the above sentiments meet the approval of such a
majority of you as would be the means of placing me in the
Council as your Representative, my unceasing efforts will be
directed to promote the good of the Town and the interests
of the Ward. THOMAS TODD.

The polling was resumed at nine o'clock this morning, but
it proceeded very languidly. The friends of Mr. Alderman
Harmer boasted on Saturday that the battle would be fought
to-day, and that the result would be to place Mr. Harmer in
a majority. It will be seen, however, from the following
statement of the numbers polled, that the boast of Saturday
is not likely to be realised.

FLYING BRIDGES AND BOATS.—Some experiments with
flying bridges and boats were made a few days ago upon the
Rhine, near Strasburg. In the first instance, a bridge of
a new construction for the passage of troops was thrown over
in twenty minutes. Three flotillas of boats, supported by a
gun boat, were next brought forward in regular order to re-
present the passage and demarkation of troops. At the same
time a flying bridge, capable of bearing 300 men, came down
the stream, and, fixing its anchors in the middle, by the mere
force of the current expanded its arms, and in three minutes
fromarebarichdegdeof boats, baats,nk to bank. The next experiment was with
which, in an hour and a half would enable
an army to cross a wide river. The last experiment was an
attempt to pass under the bridge in very small and light
boats, so as to defy the power of the current. Several men,
after having directed their course to the bridge, lay down in
the boats, and passed rapidly and safely under the bridge.
THE QUEEN'S BREWER.—We understand that Mr. Chas.
Church, of Andover, the proprietor of an establishment by
no means extensive, has, through the interest of Lord Bruce,
been appointed " The brewer to her Majesty's household."
it appears the Earl of Errol (Lord Chamberlain) was desi-
rous of obtaining a better sample of maltliquor than had for
some time appeared on her Majesty's table. When Lord
Bruce was dining at the castle, he suggested to the chamber-
lain the propriety of

A NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH,

FIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES.
SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And Filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Succedaneum.
Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, Surgeon Dentists,
respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of
Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Esta-
blishment, permanently, at No. 29, BOLD-STREET, opposite
the Concert Room, where Mons. Malian may be consulted
DAILY throughout the year. They continue to fill up the
cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Succedaneum,
without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into
the cavity in an almoSt liquid state, and in a few seconds gets
hard, :preventing and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all
further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of
extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a
mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely
stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant
taint of the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed
tooth.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well-known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and it
is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN have to inform
them, that they can effectually remove this destructive com-
plaint by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Mons. MALLAN begs to introduce to the notice of his
Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN-
CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and with con-
fidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mastica-
tion and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest
observer. They never change colour or break, as those now
used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un-
pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not
require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and
will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose.
Loose Teeth fastened; arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Six. _ _

*** For the convenience of country patients, Messrs.
JAMES M. & S. MALLAN are enabled to fix a partial or
complete set of Teethat one sitting, without the least pain or
inconvenience.

Invalids attended at their Residences, by giving two days'
notice. _ _ —.

N.B.—The Charges are fixed and moderate.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH TOXTETH WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
T TRUST you will believe that I feel more fully than the
I occasion will at present allow me to express, the kind-
ness you have again been pleased to show towards me, in re-
questing that I will allow myself to be nominated as a Candi-
date to represent your Ward in the Town-council, at the en-
suing Municipal Election. .
In coming forward as a Candidate for South Toxteth Ward,
I beg to say that I am not actuated by any illiberal or intole-
rant spirit towards the Dissenting body, or by an unwilling-
ness to consider fairly the redress of any real grievance ; but
I am bound to state that 1 cannot consent to the alienation
of Church Property from strictly ecclesiasitical purposes,
considering as I do the establishment of the Church in con-
nexion with the State necessary to the prosperity of the em-
pire.
Gentlemen, I am well aware that the surest guarantee for
the happiness and prosperity of a town, and the most efficient
means of promoting both, is to administer the laws with a
steady and impartial hand. If elected by you, I shall use my
best exertions to unite with those who arc desirous of so
doing.
In conclusion permit me further to add—to all questions
of a local nature, particularly the Education question and the
erection of Warehouses on the Dock Quays, I shall give the
most serious consideration, and will willingly adopt those
improvements which experience may sanction and the re-
sourses of our town enable us to introduce, and, from time to
time, to extend their plan so as to embrace every department
of science which circumstances may require.
I respectfully subscribe myself,
Your devoted servant,
Mill-street, Oct. 2, 1840. JOHN SHEPPARD.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
So dull a week of speculation on racing affairs as the one
now rapidly passing over, has not often been experienced.
Yesterday we did not hear half-a-dozen engagements made ;
10 to 1 was offered for the Cesarewitch Stakes, to be run for
at the next Newmarket Meeting. It was apparently accepted
to a little money on Calypso, and two points more on Barna-
cles. The southern quotations on this crack event place the
Ruler and Calypso so prominently, that, at noon, 7 to 1 was
accepted on the colt, and a point more was the top offer
against the filly. Seven would have been given against the
field (now reduced to 33) " barring one," viz. the Ruler. We
heard nothing more done, indeed the numerical strength of
the room not reaching half-a-dozen, may account for the
dearth of business.

The Mostyn Stakes were simply named, few seemed dis-
posed to lay against Sir R. Bulkeley's colt, upon the suppo-
sition that the field will be a seedy and a small one ; 4 to 1
may be considered the outside price v. Springheeled Jack,
offers to take 50 to 20 Lord Derby defeats him. Not a word
was said about Scott's stable, nor was there one shot fired
on the Epsom events ; offers to take the last Newmarket
price on Morning Star to a hundred, 25 to 1 was bid.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-10-06

MR. HODGSON respectfully invites the attention of the
Public to his SPLENDID assortment of every
description of
FURNITURE,
AT HIS DEPOT, IN CHURCH-STREET,
which is allowed to be the most extensive in Liverpool, and
excelled by few in the Metropolis; the Mart thus affording
to the purchasers the best opportunity of securing
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND EFFECTS

ON THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS,
as every article which domestic comfort can require or wealth
command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite variety.
The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for the
display of every description of Goods. In measurement the
first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by 20 feet, and the Anti-room
70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spacious Warehouse con-
tiguous, which, having the advantage of being on the ground-
floor, are better calculated for Sales of Household Furniture,
Manufacturers' Stocks, Glass, China, &c. In addition to
which, Mr. HODGSON has recently built a commodious
PICTURE GALLERY at the rear of his Premises, Church-
street, (with dome lights, &c., essential for the proper display
of HIGH CLASS PAINTINGS,) for the reception of
PICTURES and other VALUABLE PROPERTY, thus
preventing the LEAST POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT to the most
RARE AND COSTLY ARTICLES entrusted to his care.

Mr. HODGSON having facilities of procuring the best ma-
nufactured modern Furniture, as well as other Goods, solicits
the attention of

FAMILIES FURNISHING,
to whom every accommodation is afforded, in the choice of
articles from the Mart, on the most advantageous terms.
His long experience in the business he submits as a guarantee
for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may
have occasion to purchase, that the practice too frequently
adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by un-
skilled artificers, is, in very many cases, attended with an
immense pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious
loss eventually, from inattention to the material by the
manufacturer.

Among the Stock of
FASHIONABLE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE
will be generally found a superior description of
SUPERB DRAWING-ROOM SUITES

of real and imitation Rosewood ; comprised in Card, Loo,
Work, Flower Tables, Chairs, Couches, Sofas, Tea Poys,
Cheffoniers, Canterburies, Screens, Ottomans, &c. &c.

FOLDING CHAIRS AND SOFA BEDS,
Patent Reclining-Spring Seats.
THE MAHOGANY ARTICLES

are of a very superior kind, and comprise Secretaires, Pedestal
and Cellaret Sideboards, Double Wardrobes, Trafalgar Chairs,
Sofa. Pembroke, Snap, Screen, and Work Tables, Couches,
Sofas, Children's Chairs, Cribs, Swing Cots, Chests of
Drawers, Night Commodee, Bidets, Hat Stands, Bootracks,
Music Stands and Stools.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-10-06

SATURDAY

The court met at nine o'clock this morning, and continued
the revision of the burgh list for Everton ward. There was
nothing remarkable in any of the cases, except that Mr.
Wellman Abraham, a conservative voter, represented so
many burgesses, who had deputed him to attend for them, as
to call forth some remarks from Mr. James. Mr. Wilkins
added, that however he might admire Mr. Abraham's zeal it
was not becoming to appear as a wholesale representative.
Mr. Abraham replied that he appeared not as a wholesale re-
presentative, but for a few of his neighbours who had re-
quested him, as they were unable to attend.

MONDAI

The court opened this morning at nine o'clock. Before
the commencement of business, the MAYOR announced that
at one o'clock the court would adjourn for half an hour, and
sit until eight o'clock in the evening.
Mr. HARVEY said that as he was the means of not reject-
ing the claim of an Irishman on Saturday who refused to an-
swer the questions put to him, he would state that the court
was now of opinion that they ought not in future to allow Ulf
vote of any man who refused to answer a question.
case the court had allowed the vote in which the witnesses
refused to answer, and in another they had not; one, then,
would balance the other, and it was now distinctly to be un-
derstood that if any man refused to answer, the court would
reject him.
Mr. JAMES.—You have put it generally. You say if a
man refuses to answer a question.
Mr. HARVEY.—No : I said, or meant to say, if he refuses
to answer a question, which, in our opinion, is one that
ought to be answered.
Mr. JAMES said that as far as he was concerned he thought
this a very correct determination.
Mr. WRIGHT observed that if the court had once cow
mitted error they ought not to persevere in it.
The MAYOR said counsel would save themselves

court a great deal of time and trouble if they would consent
to withdraw such objections as were frivolous.
Mr. WILKINs and Mr. JAMES observed that this was
most desirable, and that they would do their utmost to adopt
the suggestion.

lish language which they had not used to vilify them, pre-
viously to their getting into power; and, as might be expected,
they had not ceased their abuse of them, and of the conserva-
tives generally, from that day to this. They abused the old
corporation for being irresponsible, and praised themselves

for being responsible. It would, however, on examination,
be found that they had conducted the affairs of the corporate
estate in a much more wasteful and extravagant mantle]

than the old corporation, and it was for th

this. They professed economy, humanity, and everything
that was amiable in the human character, yet their very first
act on entering the council-room, before their seats were
well-warmed under them, although they had returned 44
liberals to 4 conservatives, was to elect 16 alderman, real good
radicals. (Laughter.) If they had had any liberality at all,
if they had had common justice, they ought at least to have
made oue conservative alderman when they could so well have
afforded ; but from that day to this they had done no such
thing. From that period, however, their power had been
upon the wane amongst all classes of the public, for
now, instead of there being only four conservatives in the
town-council, there were now twenty; and the present
year twelve radicals retired for four conservatives. He be-
lieved the " liberals," as they called themselves, had been
exceedingly sore for the last twelve months, at expecting to
have the tables turned, at the prospect of twelve conserva-
tives being returned instead of the same number of radicals.

The objections on both sides in this ward were withdrawn
by mutual consent. There were 331 by the conservatives,
and 131 by the whigs.

SCOTLAND WARD REVISION

Michael Collins, Carlton-street, was objected to by the
conservatives. In cross-examination, by Mr. WuxiNs
the claimant stated that all his rates for three years had bee]
paid. The learned counsel produced a paper, and said he
got this paper from the same place where he got the money
from. He could not, however, tell where the place was.
The following dialogue then took place
Did you ever see this paper before
