M. TURNER delivered an interesting speech, in the
course of which he remarked :—I most deeply fed the pro-
ceedings of those gentlemen who thought fit to petition
the House of Commons against my return—(hisses)-91111
to displace me from the proud position in which you had
placed me by so unexampled a majority. (A Voice:
" We'll have you again.") But, gentlemen, although
that result put you to the extra annoyance and trouble of
a fresh election, it reflected no discredit on any one but
those who presented the petition. On the most paltry
grounds—on the most frivolous grounds—the petitioners
thought fit to charge with the foulest crime the most
honourable men in this town, and your representatives
with the most disgraceful conduct. You have to-day
shown how you appreciated the allegations contained 10
that petition. Tt is not for me to detain you here to.dar*
(" Go on") ;—but, my brother electors, I do thank you
sincerely for the manner in which you have vindicated
your characters, and the characters of your late repre-
sentatives.

SIR EIISXINE PERRY AT CLAYTON-SQUARE.
The " Liberal" demonstration in Clayton-squarer at
which there was about twn thousand people present, lila;
nessed the delivery of some startling assertions and Wild
declamation.

Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE was the first speaker.
He said :—lt is my duty to inform you that the salute
have won the day. (Groans and laughter.) Do list
weep ! Men of high religions principle, professing W
worship God in sincerity, men for whom no compilation
in psalmody is sufficiently voluminous, commenced at the
break of day to turn man into a beast (applause,) and to
lead him, bound hand and foot as it were, but mentaW'
bound, to the poll, in a state in which no reasonable mad
would desire to be who had there to discharge a solemn
duty. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I have good authority
for saying that the principles of the oppnsite party can
never succeed (loud cheering) unless they make their
election between drink and bribery, or 'perhaps both,
You have got for one of your representatiehas a distill•
guished warming pan. He tells you he has been in par;
!lament, but where has he been for the last few years
(Hear, hear.) If he was in parliament so long, why did
they let him go if he was good for anything ? (Cheers)
Gentlemen, shall r tell you something about the clergy
of the Established Church ? At the last election,-3201.,
the clergy were on the, register. Now, gentlemen,.s
there is one thing more than another the clergy of the
Established Church, who profess to be the lineal descend'
ants of the apostles, should recollect, it is what the Master
of those Apostles taught them and others with regard CO
bread (hear, hear) • but ask you whether our most
bitter opponents anddefenderrof the corn laws were not
the clergy themselves ? (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen,'
shall I tell you of the 32 who • voted how they divided,
themselves ? (" Yes, yes.") Twenty-seven of the V,
voted for half-full bellies, and the remaining five for free-
trade and the annihilation of protection. Which of
these parties acted the most Christian part ? and in what
colonce. do you propose to write the names of those who
sinned against the laws of God and' man ; and in what
letters should we write the names of those who voted the
other way ? (A voice, " Gold," aced cheering.) But,
gentlemen, the result of to-day has- only satisfied me of
what I told you on the last occasion---that our opponents
can only win their way by foul means-;: and I tell you
now that it has been so to-day. (Cheering.) It is with
pain and grief—l bare no personal feeling,. in the matter!,
it is with pain and grief that I say now 'eel said then, r.
should be prepared, along, I hope, with, others of Int
fellow-townmen, to cause an inquiry to-be made (louo
and reiterated .cheetiag) ; and we will see whether this
disgrace to humanity is to be any longer perpetrated'
(Load cheers.) I will, now give way to our excellent
friend and nobly-talented advocate, Sir Erekine Perry.

Sir ERSKIN-It PERRmf was received with 'enthusiasal•
He said :—Gentlemen, I stand before you teeday a beaten

Bey, and I claim to speak now as the organ of- the n 3056
intelligent and the most moral men in this town, • that we
are determined to make purity of election triemph in the
town before we surrender the field. (Cheering.' Gentle-
men, I told you yesterday John. Bright's opinion--(thst
Liverpool was a sirk -of iniquity and corruption). On
sorry to say that hie opinion is too well founded e burr
gentlemen, there are-many John Brights in this crowd:
there are many men lre this temzeimpressed with.the sear
Liberal opinions as Sohn Bright - and by the aid of Intel'
ligence, and of those worthy arid honest men, the battle
which. has been lost to-day•is again to be fought,..and will
eventually be won. (Loud cheers.), I have polled he
5,000 votes to-day ; and they have got their voteeby t!lcee

5,000 intelligent men in Liverpool who wanted v-or

Mr... Robertson Gladstone, he continued :—I have made,
of course, some personal sacrifice in the exertions I have
gone through ; but I tell you. most solemnly, from the
bottom, of my heart, that, though a beaten man,.l sale
