TO THE BURGESSES OF LIME-STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
AFTER repeated Solicitations from a numerous and highly
respectable body of the Electors in this, Ward, to allow
myself to be nominated as a Candidate at the next Munici-
pal Election, I feel myself bound to accede tb their wishes.
Having resided upwards of Thirty Years in the Ward, and
so recently filled the highest Honorary Office connected with
the Parochial management of this large and populous Parish ;
I deem anything I can say with respect to my Public conduct
unnecessary.
Should I be so fortunate as to be the object of your choice,
I will use my utmost endeavours to promote the welfare of
the good old Town of Liverpool, and discharge the important
duties of Councilman, independently, and I hope usefully to
the Inhabitants generally.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN KILSHAW.
Gloucester-street, 20th October, 1840.

TO THE ELECTORS OF WEST DERBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
WITH much reluctance, and only in compliance with the
urgent and oft-repeated solicitations of the Friends
of Reform, have I at length consented to allow myself to be
put forward as Candidate for the suffrages of the Independent
Electors of your Ward.
I am most unfriendly to the heated party strife now raging
in this Town, and throughout the kingdom, believing, as I
do, that many measures of vast public importance have been,
and will continue to be, sacrificed, whilst this most prejudi-
cial excitement shall remain predominant in the minds of the
community. The evil is great, and the cure, I fear, far dis-
tant, so long as the passions rather than the judgments of
men shall be appealed to, and Christian charity be displaced
by the prevailing religious intolerance.
I am a Reformer from principle, and not from interest ;
and believe that all men sharing the burdens of the State
ought alike to partake of its civil and religious liberties. I
believe that all monopoly is in the end injurious, and affirm
that all legislation ought to have for its constant aim the hap-
piness of the greatest "umbers.
Should these sentiments so far accord with your own feel-
ings as to confer upon me the honour of being your Repre-
sentative at the Council Board, I will pledge myself to the
conscientious discharge of the Duties pertaining to such a
position, in accordance with the principles thus generally
marked out.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, JUN.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF CASTLE-
STREET WARD.
...

GENTLEMEN, __
THE request which you have done me the honour to make
at your Meeting, last evening, that I should allow my-
self to be put in nomination as a CANDIDATE for the Re-
presentation of your Ward in the Town Council, conveys to
me an assurance of our mutual sympathy in those opinions
and principles on which it was my privilege to stand at the
last Municipal Election. The natural reluctance which I
felt to add to my numerous avocations has, in consequence,
been overcome; and, still professing the same opinions and
becoming every day still more attached to the same princi-
ples, 1 at once accede to your wishes and accept yonr flatter-
ing invitation. For upwards of thirty years a resident in your
town, my character as a Tradesman and conduct as a Citizen
are known to you all ;
and so long as devoted allegiance to
our Heavenly King, unchanging loyalty to our earthly Sove-
reign, still increasing attachment to the Established Church,
and " conciliation without compromise" towards every mem-
ber of the community, are appreciated amongst you, I shall
not despair of success. On two important topics, which
have lately engrossed a large share of public attention, I deem
it right that I should explicitly express my sentiments.
The first respects the contemplated erection of Warehouses ,
on the Dock Quays. one can be more strongly convinced
than I am how desirable it is, that every accommodation
should be afforded, and that at as low a rate as possible, for
the loading and discharging of all Vessels arriving at our port,
so that we may be able,
in
respect of such facilities. to com-
pete with any Seaport n the universe : but, while I very
much doubt the policy i
of ntrosting such work to the exclu-
sive management of any public body, I cannot consent that
those who have so long clamoured against all monopoly
should now be permitted to become wholesale monopolists
themselves.
The next point relates to the system of Education pursued
in the Corporation Schools. To this system I have been, on
principle, fr.om the first, opposed ; and, so long as any re-
striction to the free use of the Word of God continues, my
opposition must continue. The experience of every day, and
the melancholy prevalence of infidelity among those classes
who are deficient, not in Secular, but in Religious know-
ledge, serve every day more clearly to convince every unpre-
judiced mind, that Education and the Bible should go to-
gether in every School for every class of children in the Em-
pire, if we would render such Inltitutions safe for the Chil-
dren or advantageous to the Country.
Such, Gentlemen, are the principles on which I venture to
solicit your support. Personally, lam indifferent as to the
issue ; but, believing that, at all times, it is the duty of every
right-minded subject to do his utmost for the maintenance
of Truth, and the promotion of that " Righteousness which
exalteth a Nation," I respectfully request of you to rally
round the Principles,
not the Man, with a zeal and ardour
becoming the cans?. Anxious for the prosperity of my coun-
try and its institutions, both civiland sacred, and in opposi-
tion to those whose creed is without authority, whose opi-
nion; are without rule, and whose scepticism is without rea-
son, I place myself in
your hands, adopting as my motto, "For
God, our Church, and our Country."
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient and respectful Servant,
Liverpool, 20th Oct., 1840. PETER HOPE,

MACLURE AND MACDONALD, LITHOGRAPHERS,
DRAUGHTSMEN, ENGRAVERS, and ORNAMENTAL
Parr Ens to the Queen, 'Glasgow, respectfully announce
that they have OPENED the above Establishment, in
conjunction with their friend Mr. ALEXANDER MAC-
GREGOR, who, during .the last three years, had a prin-
cipal charge in their Glasgow House, and whose talents
as a Lithographer are of the first description, whom they
have assumed as a partner in this concern, and under whose
management the business in Liverpool will be principally
conducted.
The demand in Liverpool for superior Lithography, from
its universal application to Mercantile and Ornamental pur-
poses, has induced them to open this branch, while the cele-
brity their Glasgow Establishment has attained, united to
their unceasing and persevering efforts to maintain and in-
crease the reputation of the Art, assures them of meeting
with that distinguished preference they have so eminently
obtained in Glasgow.
The business will be carried on under the firm of
MACLURE, MACDONALD, & MACGREGOR ;
and, every department being filled up with artists of the first
reputation, will ensure promptitude and superior excellency
in the production of every order intrusted to them.
APPRENTICES WANTED for the various departments.
Those for Drawing and Writing will require to lodge speci-
mens, and none need apply unless they display a decided
taste for the Art.
