'As the questioTW;vl,oWthe alderman for this ward,
whether Mr. Harvey or Mr. Nichol, is still under legal
investigation, we cannot at present name the gentleman.
The present constitution of the council is therefore as fol-
lows, allowing Mr. Harvey his vote as alderman for Castle-
street Ward, which it is probable he will have.the decency
not to exercise under existing circumstances :
Conservative councillors. 34
Radical do. .
Do. aldermen ..

At the election for mayor, presuming that every member
of the coun'il will record his vote, the numbers will stand
thus :

For the conservative
For the radical.....,

Majority for a Conservative Mayor 4

At the election of aldermen, anticipating again that all the
members_are present, the voting (if any) will be as follows :

For conservative aldermen
For radical do.

Majority for 8 Conservative Aldermen 12
The conservatives will thus elect eight aldermen in lieu of
those who retire, when the following will, next week, be the
relative numbers of the council :
Conservative councillors. ..
Do. aldermen

Radical councillors

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

The polling-pine!, in former years, was at Halliday's,.
Eve' 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 attendance 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 Evertor' and the neighbnur-
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 103, and for
Mr. Ashcrott 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 he 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, 30'); Ashcroft, 178 ; the num-
bers at the close being— -
For Mr. Shaw 330
Mr. Ashcroft
being a majority for the for Mer 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.
