GENTLICAIEN,—A highly respectable Deputation has kindly
waited upon me with a Requisition. signed by a large number
of Electors in your Ward, requesting me to.come forward for
the third time as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing Municipal
Election.

Comprising, as that Requisition does, dhe names of so
many influential gentlemen of all parties, thus affording the
best proof that my past endeavours to promote your interests
have given satisfaction, I have great pleasure in at once ac-
ceding to such a flattering mark of respect.
If, therefore, you do me the honour again 'to elect me, I
shall return to,my duties with an increased determination to
persevere in that course which has hitherto met with your
approbation., and which has appeared to me most conducive
to your welfare and the prosperity of the town..
I am, Gentlemen.
Tour obedient and faithful Servant,
R. C. GARDNER.

TO THE ELECTORS OF GT. GEORGE
WARD.
GENTLENixx,—Having received a requisition most numer-
ously and influentially signed, requesting me to allow myself
to be put in nomination on Ist November, as a CANDIDATE
to represent your ward in the Town Council, I at once comply
with your request, and place my services at your disposal.
I cannot feel otherwise than highly flattered by the unsought
for and unexpected compliment you have been pleased to
pay me.
Should I have the honous to be elected, it will be say.desire
to give my best attention to the general interest of the Town,
especially to those inivravements which are at present occupy-
ing much of the public 'mind, and more particularly those
connected with your Ward, having, at the same time, a due
regard to economical expenditure of the Corporate Flunk for
such purpose.

WARD. - - - -

GENTLRMEN,—I accept the invitation, which I have had
the honour to receive from a numerous •and influential body
of the Electors of the Ward, to become a Candidate at the
approaching Election,• for a seat in the Town Council, as one
of your Representatives.
The subject which at this period more particularly engages
the attention of the Council and the Inhabitants of the
Borough, is, the Improvements of the Town. I believe that
no part of the community is more interested in this question
than yourselves; not only from the central position of your
Ward, but on account of its possessing so many places of
public resort, viz. :—the Theatres, the Concert Hall, St.
John's Market, the Railway Station, and St. George's Hall.
To this subject your Representatives have given their best
attention, and have supported those Improvements, which,
in their opinion, are first called for, and which will be em-
bodied in an application to Parliament in the ensuing Session.
I take this opportunity of returning my sincere thanks for
the kindness and courtesy which I have received from you
during the twelve years I have been honoured with your con-
fidence.-1 remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,
JOHN B. LLOYD.
Exchange Alley, 20th October, 1853.

TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF
VAUXHALL WARD.
GENTLEMEN,—The term for which you elected me as one
of your Representatives will shortly expire.
A Deputation of Gentlemen Electors of your Ward having
waited upon me, and presented a Requisition, numerously
and respectably signed by parties of all shades of opinion, I
have no hesitation in tendering my best exertions for your
acceptance.
I feel less difficulty in now coming forward as a Candidate,
for, since I have had the honour to represent you, I have the
satisfaction to know my conduct in the Council has met with
the uniform approbation of the Ward.
Three years ago you elected me on two distinct principles,
which, I need hardly say, were quite in accordance with my
own, namely, the entire absence of politics in local affairs,
and strict economy in the management of the Corporate
Purse, with a due regard to the good old town's various re-
quirements and upholding her interests.
I think it will be found I have kept these principles con-
stantly in view; and I believe there is not an elector who will
say that I forgot the interests of the Ward in support of any
party, political or religious, in the Council. I have uniformly
voted against the increase of official salaries when I have
considered them well paid ; and, whenever public money was
to be expended, I have looked carefully how it was to be most
beneficially and economically spent, having a deep sympathy
for the difficulties and privations local taxation entail on the
industrious ratepayers. . _ _

...Having, from niy youngest days, had my interest bound
up in the prosperity of your Vtard, it is apparent that what
is injurious to you must he so to me, and that we must be
equally benefited by its improvement.
Finally, the principles on which you first elected me are
unchanged. If you should again do me that honour, I hope
that the experience have had in the Council duties will en-
able me more efficiently to do justice to the trust reposed in me.

TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 25,1853.

THE wisdom of the Whigs—by which we may
include the various species of 'political charlatans—
broke down the great Maritime Charter under
which British commerce had swelled into unpa-
ralleled magnitude, and promised that the repeal
of the Navigation Laws, as the capital of the great
pillar of Free-trade, should be the crowning point
of our national greatness. Unfortunately, how-
ever, for our faith in the prophetic spirit of
Liberalism, their promises are not always realised,
or they experience such unforeseen contingencies
as destroy all -the charm which was so pleasant in
prospect. Competition, it was said, would pro-
duce such a reduction of profits as to put us in
easy possession of the produce of the World ; but
British shipowners and British seamen, and the
number of trades dependent upon them, formed a
numerous body, which could not be supposed to
benefit by the change. But when did the Whigs
ever care who suffered, so long as they had a pet
scheme which siited their notions of popularity-
hunting, and no matter how false, if it were only
plausible, and the sufferers had no parliamentary
influence P There was no lack of specious argu-
ment to support the theory ; the rage was all for
Free-trade, at any cost ; the House of Commons,
as a matter of course, voted with the Minister, as
they would have done to pull down the Throne, if
it had been urged with the same reasons ; the
House of Lords, who have lately lost all the
courage with which they once manfully battled for
the maintenance of our ancient institutions, sur-
rendered at discretion ; and the mighty Shipping
interest, like the other great interests of Great
Britain, was thrown open to competition with the
whole world. Now for the fruits,—the promised
advantages of this great sacrifice. At first there
were loud complaints, which were in no way
amended by the new restrictions placed upon Bri-
tish seamen by Mr. LABOUCHERE'S Mercantile
Marine Act ; but, shortly afterwards, the gold dis-
coveries in California and Australia, which were
made just in time to save Liberalism from an igno-
minious defeat, saved also the Shipping interest,
and suspended, for a time, the predictions of their
ruin. A sudden and unexpected demand sprung
up for merchant vessels, freights consequently rose,
and, therefore, while the victims of legislation were
temporarily spared, the country got none of the
promised advantages from the reduced cost of
transit.

There is, however, a feature in the question
which will go far, if not altogether, to neutralise
the expected benefits under any circumstances,
and to which the attention of British merchants
should be seriously directed. By the English law,
freight is payable only on the completion of the
voyage, and unless this be performed, none what-
ever is due ; while in case of any non-performance
of the contract through insufficiency of the ship,
or the roguery of those on board, the merchant
has a remedy against the owner, who is amenable
to the law. The ease is, however, widely different
when the merchant employs a foreign ship. By
the foreign law, which is common to almost all
continental nations, a proportion of freight is due
for the proportion of a voyage performed, and the
merchant has no remedy if his goods are left at an
intermediate port far short of their destination.
Several instances have recently occurred in which
British goods, in a foreign vessel, have been landed
at an intermediate port, the captain taking his
own proportion of the freight, and then accepting
a new engagement on more favourable terms for
some other port. What remedy has the British
merchant, even where the injustice is palpable P
He has literally none, for it would be far better
for him to put up with the loss, great as it may
be, than hope to obtain redress in •a foreign court
of law against a foreign shipowner, who may be
hopelessly insolvent. The only efficient remedy
against such contingencies, is to abstain from
shipping :goods in foreign vessels,lnotwithstanding
the apparent temptation as to freight ; and we
have called attention to the subject in order that
British merchants may be aware of -the risk they
undergo in -so doing.

WHEN The last daring act of Romanist aggres-
sion aroused the Protestant feeling of the country,
although the excitement was too ephemeral to
offer any keffective resistance, the advocates of
Rome claimed credit to themselves for loyalty
to the Throne, and accused their opponents of
bigotry because they doubted it. A slight in-
stance was afforded the other day in this town of
the kind of loyalty which animates these much-
injured men, whom to doubt implies bigotry. A
society, with the imposing title of the "Holy Cross
Christian Doctrine Confraternity,"met in a school-
room in Great Crosshall-street, to celebrate their
third anniversary by a little humble jollity, and
were presided over on the occasion by a " Rev.
Father," at least so says our Friday contemporary
who seems to have taken the Liverpool Romanists
under his especial patronage. It is true that their
libations were limited, if we may believe the report,
to weak tea, but it did not prevent the proposing
of toasts and the making of sundry complimentary
speeches. Whenever decently conducted English-
men have indulged in drinking toasts, whether the
meeting were composed of peers or peasants, it has
been usual to commence with the name of the ,
QUEEN, as the Sovereign of Great Britain, to
whom we all owe allegiance; nor, in doing so, do
they claim any great credit for special loyalty.
There is an old proverb, that when we are in
Rome we should do as the Romans do ; but the
Romans in this country have different notions, and
prove their claim to loyalty by actually ignoring
the QUEEN, as a name not worthy to be men-
tioned, even before that of the immaculate Dr.
CAHILL, who has become notorious for his practical
adoption of the dangerous principle, that the end
justifies the means. On the occasion to which we
refer, the first toast proposed was, " THE POPE,"
the Chairman remarking, that the spiritual head
was greater than the temporal one. After several
songs, of the nature of which we will not stop to
inquire, the Chairman proposed, " Success to Car-
dinal WISEMAN and the English Hierarchy," a
subsequent speaker alluding to him as " the Car-
dinal Archbishop of Westminster." The next
toast was "Dr. CCLLEN, the Archbishop of Dub-
lin," and then came the health of " Dr. CAHILL."

It is, perhaps, hardly worth while to comment
on the good taste which prompted the virtual de-
fiance of the Ecclesiastical Titles Prevention Act,
because that has been repeatedly violated in Eng-
land and Ireland. It is well known that the
Ministers were never sincere in their intention
when the Bill was before Parliament ; and we may
be snip that so long as Lord JOHN RUSSELL and
the 'radical party, or the Duke of NEWCASTLE and
the semi-Popish party are allowed to have any
influence in the Government, its provisions will
never be enforced, whatever insolence the Roman-
ists may be guilty of. Professing Protestants
expend much idle breath in unmeaning denun-
