THE ELECTION PETITION.

OUR Liberal contemporaries, in the excess of their
Liberalism, have been vilifying their townsmen, in
order to gratify their party zeal. It appears that,
in the exuberance of his feelings, which, during the
Election, were two degrees above the boiling point,
Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE made a rash vow
that the Conservative doings should undergo ano-
ther investigation. He was afterwards somewhat
oblivious of this engagement; but the Radical
hangers-on who fatten on such cases, including
generally a trip to London and treating ad libitum,
kept their victim to his promise, under threat of a
defection in their allegiance, and accordingly the
Petition—of which we give a copy in another co-
lumn—was presented about three o'clock on Tues-
day morning—about the extreme limit allowed by
law for the reception of such complaints, if, indeed,
the limit has not been exceeded, and the Petition
thereby rendered waste paper. It is, however,
without the slightest consequence, as far as con-
cerns the seats of Messrs. HORSFALL and LIDDELL,
and is only useful as showing the opinions which
the Radicals entertain of the Electors of Liverpool.
In defence of the course which has been pursued,
our contemporaries refer to the decision upon the
former Petition, with a half confident tone, some-
thing like a crow in embryo : " Were not Messrs.
TURNER and NIAcK ENZIE unseated ?" Yes, and by
a committee of political opponents, who had not a
particle of reason to give for their decision, and
showed their compunction by refusing to go a step
further. What other result can the Radicals expect

from any committee except, indeed, such a verdict
as they will get next time, if they dare to proceed
further—the Members declared to he duly elected,
and the Petition to be frivolous and vexatious.
They want, indeed, to have the Freemen disfran-
chised, but their desire is vain, nor would it serve
their purpose, for the Conservatives have a majority
if every Freeman were disfranchised. We repeat
the assertion, that we have not the slightest appre-
hension as to the result of the Petition, which,
we believe, in its fruition as in its conception, will
prove an abortion ; but if it were possible to imagine
the achievement of such a hopeless enterprise, the
end will be little different, for Liverpool will still
return two Conservative Representatives to the Com-
mons House of Parliament. We have too high an
opinion of our fellow-townsmen to doubt the re-
sult ; but Liverpool should go for her character to
the Liberal journals, and there learn that she is a
a hot-bed of corruption—corrupting and corrupted.
Liverpool is as pure as snow but for her Radical
connections, and never knew electoral corruptions
until Liberal candidates tried to purchase the repre-
sentation.

THE EASTERN QUESTION

- -
The leading article in the Morning Post of to-day con-
tains the latest authentic news on this subject. The only
facts of interest, reported this afternoon in the foreign
letters, are, that Russia is making the unprecedented levy
of ten men in every thousand, and that much agitation is
caused in Sweden by the expected concentration of Rus-
sian troops in Finland.
The French journals contain statements tending to cok,
firm the assertions in the MQ).Y.Aiv

CATTLE MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, Ana. I.—We have had liberal supplies of stock
at this day's market, with a good attendance of country buyers.
Beef trade ruled quiet, at barely last week's prices. The very
wet day was against Sheep and Lambs, which realised last
week's currencies. Good Beef worth sid to 6id per lb.;
Mutton, 6id to bid; Lamb, 6id to 74d. Cattle, 2,148; Sheep,
12,330.
SALFORD, JULY 27.—The number of Beasts much the same
as last week, and of very good quality in general, from Sid to
64d, and mostly all sold. Sheep and Lambs much the same;
Sheep, 6d to 74d, and a few left at the close; Lambs, bid to 74d,
and mostly all sold up. Calves, 6d to 6d, and all sold up.—
Beasts, 1,298 ; Sheep and Lambs, 9,874; Calves, 86.
DUBLIN, JULY 28. —We had again a brisk market today,
without any alteration in prices from last week. Beef, 54s to
60s per cwt., sinking offal ; Mutton, 54d to 6id per lb ; Veal,
83d per lb. ; Lambs, 208 to 30s each. The consumption, for the
season of the year, was the largest we remember. Nothing
done in heavy Pigs.

HORTICULTURE.

Stove, Conservatory, ke.—The Stove and Greenhouse
climbers are approaching their greatest state of luxuriance,
and upon the care now taken to keep them within proper
bounds the future beauty of the houses entirely depends.
The branches should be carefully tied in, or trained into
some neat or elegant form ; if made to hang in festoons
from the trellised rafters the best effect will be produced,
recollecting always that it is far better to apply the knife
and freely remove all those branches which cannot be
made conformable to the general plan. This is a difficult
lesson to learn, for it is, generally speaking, repugnant to
the feelings to cut away large portions of a plant which
has required much time and care to bring into a state of
luxuriance.

Flower Garden.—This should now be in perfection,
but, owing to the unusually wet and cold season, all the
more delicate bedding plants, upon which we have de-
pended for our finest effect, look little better than rank
weeds ; the verbenas and heliotropes are luxuriant enough,
but are almost destitute of bloom ; this cannot now be
remedied, but if they are carefully kept within bounds,
and not suffered to grow too wild, they may probably
make a fine autumnal display.
Kitchen Garden. —Plant every available space with
cabbage, brocoli, and greens of all the good kinds, for
winter use, not forgetting Brussels sprouts. Sow onions
for spring transplanting.

joint; latent sciatica, &c. ;

Sorge weeks ago you were informed by me that a select
mittee of the House of Commons had been appointed
Sider and report upon the best means of improving

the present postal and passenger communication between
London and Dublin. The subject was one in which the
interests of Liverpool were very materially concerned,
and although the inquiry was conducted with even more

than the ordinary secrecy observable by select parliamen-

acquainted, from time to time, with the evidence taken,
as well as with the result of the committee's deliberations.
They examined a number of gentlemen eminently quali-
fied to give valuable information, but, somehow or other,
whether it was the constitution of the committee, or the
pressure brought to bear by those who perhaps suggested
the investigation, Liverpool appeared to be completely
distanced by Holyhead, and one would suppose that
it was intended to blot the Mersey out of the map of the
world. No report has yet been published of what the
committee recommend should be done ; but I believe I
am not far astray in communicating the fcflovving as the ,

principal elements of their specific. They advise the estab.
lishment of a mail by the morning express trains leaving
London and Dublin at 8.30 a.m., and they consider that

great advantages would result from its operation. This
mail, which would arrive in time for despatch from Dub-
lin for the provinces by the night trains, though it might
not carry any considerable portion of the London corres-

pendencc, would yet be of immense value as affording
an additional daily communication between Ireland and
Liverpool and Manchester, the importance of which is

fully increasing,

For the performance of this
the committee have had a plan and estimate laid before
them for a class of vessels affording accommodation far
superior to anything that has hitherto been attempted,
and capable of running at a speed of twenty-five statute
miles an hour; and they are of opinion that the im-
proved results which would follow from the estab-
lishment of such an improved means of communica-
tion would fully justify the requisite expenditure.
This is about the sum and substance of the select
committee's work. If their recommendation receive the
favourable consideration of parliament, Liverpool will be
benefited to the extent, that the afternoon delivery of

Mr. ADDERLEY presented a petition from the visiting
justices of Preston, and the Committee of Management
of Stretton-on-Dunsmore Reformatory School, in favour
of the Juvenile Offenders' Bill, and requiring immediate
legislation on the subject. _ _ _

THE LONDON CAB STRIKE.-Sir R. H. INGLIS drew
attention to the cab strike, and asked the Under-Secretary
for the Home Department if he was ready to refer the
question to a select committee, with a view to an amend-
ment of the new Cab Act.—Mr. WALPOLE said the great
ground of complaint was the abolition of the back fares.
—Mr. FITZROY declared that, on the whole, the new
Cab Act was worked exceedingly well, and the proprietors
were generally satisfied with sixpence a mile ; but cab-
drivers were sometimes unjustly treated by the public, in
being taken long distances beyond the Metropolitan
districts, and then discharged, with only the common
fare. It was, therefore, proposed to amend the law, so
that a cabman should not be compelled to go beyond a
distance of five miles, when he should be entitled to an
additional fare, to be fixed by the House, in the event of
his being taken out of a certain radius.

LUNACY.—The house went into committee on the
Lunacy Regulation Bill, and the 154 clauses were agreed
to with some verbal amendments. The house next went
into committee on the Lunatic Asylums Bill, and the
clauses—above a hundred—were agreed to with some
verbal amendments.

FACTORIES BILL.—On the order for the second reading
of this bill, it was suggested that as there was no chance
of the bill passing this year, the order should be dis-
charged.—Mr. CORBETT, who had charge of the bill, said
he had consulted the order-book, and found that there
was no open day this session, when the next start could
be made, if the bill was read a second time ; he, there-
fore, thought it best to postpone the bill until next session.
The order for the second reading was consequently dis-
charged.
The Government of Tndia Bill finally passed through
committee, and was ordered to be reported next day.
The Duties on Horses Let for Hire Bill and the
Hackney Carriage Duties Bill were read a second time.
The house adjourned at a few minutes before 6 o'clock.

le excitement of a political contest, and with-

propriety by a general strike of the proprietors of

ckny carriages, known as " cabs," the sudden

use for this extraordinary mov

who would have obeyed the law ; but by

the course pursued, a direct encouragement is
given to combination and agitation, and the fruits

may be expected in some other class following an
example which has proved so successful. Cabmen,

performance of duties ; but to make concessions,

:torted by intimidation, is virtually to sanction a

to raise a monument in
Liverpool to th4l. memory of the great Duke of

WELLINGTON. A resolution was then come to
that it should take the form of a statue on a lofty

pillar, which should be a conspicuous object from
a great distance, and several thousand pounds
were subscribed in order to carry out the object
proposed. For some time past little or nothing
has been done with reference to the subject, and

of the fund. It will be remembered that a large
amount is being raised with the intention of found-

the illustrious departed, and it has been suggested
that Liverpool might take a prominent part in the
praiseworthy scheme of devoting her local fund to
the same object. It may be raised to a sufficient
bum for the erection of a distinct portion of the
intended edifice, to be called the Liverpool Ward,

the following new endorsements to the claims of their HOLD-

Percha Company's Works was of the most intense character,
as may well be conceived from the nature of its food, Gutta
Percha, Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted
red-hot walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the
letter testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace
without a singe upon them.

" City-road, London, Bth June, 1553.
" SIRS,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many part's melted the outside of the safe.
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in any way you may wish.

"GENTLENtnx,—Some time back I was indebted to your
strong Hoidlest and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the vitient and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow-hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
