TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1853.

THE REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.
THE whole town was in a state of the greatest

excitement on Tuesday, as the decision of the Com-
mittee op the Election Petition was momentarily
expected by Electric Telegraph; and it was not
until late in the afternoon that we were enabled to
announce in a Third Edition that the report was
unfavourable to Messrs.TUßNEn and MACKENZIE,
although it completely exonerated them from all
blame, and vindicated the Constituency from the
foul aspersions which had been levelled at it.
The first and most important consideration was, as
to the selection of Candidates to supply the va-
cancy, particularly as notice was given for the issue
of the writ on the following Tuesday (this day);
and though two names had been already before the
public, and freely canvassed, no announcement was
made until the following morning, when the town
was posted with bills, declaring the I-lon. HENRY
TITOINIAS LIDDELL and Mr. THOMAS BERRY
HORSFALL to be the Candidates intended to be

put in nomination on the part of the Conservatives
While the inquiry was yet pending, we stated that.

now suffering. After an expenditure amounting to
:C12,000, or something more, they have, by the aid
of a pliant Committee, gained their ostensible
object of unseating the late members, but for what
purpose, when they cannot avail themselves of the
vacancy, from thorough conviction of the inutility
of attempting a contest ? The real design was to
make out a case of systematic corruption, with the
view of demanding from the Legislature the dis-
franchisement of the Freemen, and in this they
have been miserably defeated. The Committee, so far
from sympathising with the movement, have strained
the law beyond its fair and legitimate spirit, in
order to give the Petitioners that modicum
of satisfaction which is comprised in the unseating
of the members ; but in their report, which we have
given in full in another column, they have amply
justified the Freemen from the aspersions which
were cast upon them, purified the reputation of
the Constituency from the stain thrown upon
it by Liberal candidates at previous Elections,
and partially extinguished the hopes in which the
Radicals presumed to indulge. No marvel, then,
that the chivalrous Messrs. RATHBONE, jun., and
Co. were received by their political allies with
angry recrimination, and upbraided with having
deceived their friends into playing such an expen-
sive and yet losing game; for they are in an infi-
nitely worse position now than they would have
been had they prudently submitted to the decision
of the Electors, and allowed Messrs. TURNER and
MACKENZIE to retain their seats. With regard
to the Representation, they must still be content
with its being in the hands of the Conservatives :
they have destroyed all chance whatever of depriving
the Freemen of their Franchise, and they have so
disgusted every honest and intelligent man of their
own party, that their cause—weak as it was before
—has been materially impoverished. Never had
professing Radicals greater cause to say, " Save us
from our friends" than now, when they have been so
wretchedly deceived. They were told, and their or-
gans were instructed to echo the tale, that the last
Election, when submitted to parliamentary investi-

gation, would present such an exposure of demoral-

.sing corruption, that nothing but the unsparing

and intimate acquaintance with the commercial
interests of the town; and we have reason to believe
that this suggestion was favourably received by a
considerable number of the constituent body. It

appears, however, that a consultation of some of
the loading Conservatives led to a selection of one
of the names we suggested,—the propriety of
which must have been obvious to all,—and
the declaration of an opinion, that it was pre-
ferable to have a stranger of parliamentary
experience for the second seat; and, carry-
ing out this view, the Hon. HENRY THomas
LIDDELL was proposed, and at once accepted.

Since then, several Ward meetings have been held,
and no attempt has, as yet, been made to disturb
the arrangement. Indeed, the Radicals seem pa-
ralysed by their fruitless victory, and the opinion is
gaining ground that the Conservatives will be
allowed to carry the election without a contest. We
may state that the Hon. HENRY THOMAS LID-
DELL, who is the eldest son of Lord RAVENS..
WORTH, is in his fifty.seventh year, and was in
Parliament so far back as 1526, when he was re-
turned for the county of Northumberland, and sup-
ported Mr. CANNING, as minister, until the death
of the latter. He was returned for North Durham
in 1837, and in the last parliament sat for South
Shields, having defeated Mr. INGHAM, the chair-
man of the Liverpool Election Committee, who re-
turned the compliment at the last election. It will
thus be seen that he has had considerable experience
in Parliamentary business; and his position, as a
member of the aristocracy, with the prospect of an
early succession to the peerage—his father being
nearly fourscore years of age—leave no reason to
doubt his eligibility for the distinction which is
sought at the hands of the electors.

-THE ICE TRADE

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—We are, in justice to ourselves, and to secure the con-
sumers of :ce from imposition. again obliged to notice the
advertisement of Alessi's. J. H. Ropes and Co., now appearing
in some of the Liverpool papers. They say " that only from
them and their agents can the Wellborn Lake Ice be procured,
&c." We are in a position to prove that they have not im-
ported one TKund of Wenham Lake Ice since 184 S; at the
same time, it is only right that the consumers of Ice should
know that Wenbara Lake, as well as all other American Ice,
is of a very inferionquality this year, owing to the very short
frost in America last,wintcr, in proof of which, we refer to the
New York and Boston press of March and April. They again
say that "they have a small shipment of Norway, such as is
sold exclusive by other dealers," and they call it low-priced
article." We know it to be very inferior to anyether Norway
Ice imported this year, simply because it was cut a month too
sin, during the first thaw, and long before the intense cold of
the last winter, in the Baltic, set in. But they are,quite silent
a
s to the qualities of a third sort of Ice, which comprises a large
:Portion of their present stock, and is now selling by thein under
the borrowed name of Wenbain Lake Ice, and therefore is used
,by the gentlemen who patronise them, or take refreshments in
uotels or other places, supplied by them, as if it was ace of the
Purest sort ; yet this large portion of their stock was collected
during the last frost from off the pits so pregnant with impurities
in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. Had they advertised their
business honestly,we would behappy to take no notice of them,
but the temerity with which they put forth misstatements im-
peratively demands from us this exposure. They may say
that this Ice was collected by them to supply Fishmongers;
but that cannot be, for Fishmongers amply supplied them-
selves during the same frost. Again, to gentlemen that will
hereafter question them, they may say they got it to supply
steamers; but we know that no ,captain, if he knew it, would
allow the provisions lie supplies Ids passengers with to be im-
pregnated with the impurities of the pits about this town.
We are the only parties in Liverpool who confine their busi-
ness to pure Spring-water Ice, and ourarrangements this year
have been most fortunate. We have just completed the ware-
housing of ISO tons of the most splendid Ice ever imported to
Liverpool, the blocks averaging 4 cwt., and will feel happy in
submitting it to the inspection of any gentleman who may
kindly call on -us for that purpose.
We conli,tently appeal to the consumers of Ice in general,
and trust that, as we have none other than that of first-rate
quality, we may-expect their patronage and support.

UNPROVOKED CASE OF STABBING.—The knife still
continues to be a familiar name in our
~criminal courts,
l
and a popular weapon in our streets. esterday at the
Police-court a seaman, named George Keeting, was com-
mitted for trial on a charge of making a most unprovoked
and wanton assault upon a young Scotch couple, husband
and wife, whom he had never seen in his life before his
attack upon them, and who had not given him the slightest
cause for his disgraceful and dangerous practice with the
knife. From the statement of William Peebles, baker,
and his wife Ann, it appeared that on Sunday afternoon
they were quietly seated at the fireside of a friend who
lives in No. 1 Court, Brook-street, when the prisoner
Keeting opened the door and asked for drink. The good
woman of the house said he was mistaken, that was not
the house he wanted, whereupon he went away. He bad
not been long gone, however, before he returned, and this
time the mistress said she thought his coming back to her
private dwelling looked "very like a piece of imperti-
nence, " and rather smartly she desired him to begone.
With this, however, the fellow did not comply ; but, in-
stead of doing so, applied a great many opprobrious epi-
thets to the decent woman, who, being " a lawful married
wife," resented the insults. and told him once more to go.
Instead of doing this Keeting took a knife out of his pocket
and stabbed Mrs. Peebles in the eye ; the husband rose
to protect his wife, when the regardless visitor turned to
him and stabbed him in the arm and lips very seriously.
the prisoner told a cock-and-bull story, to the effect that
the woman had attacked him with a long pole for the pur-
pose of robbing him, as he thought, and that this had led
him to male the attack which was alleged against him,

While, however, we cordially concur in the pro-
priety of preserving that unity of action in the
Conservative body—which is the certain element of
success—so as to leave no point of which our poli-
tical opponents may take advantage, we see no
reason to alter the opinion which we have previously
expressed, that Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE would have
been, in every respect, a most eligible candidate.
His principles, his business habits, his commercial
experience, and the many good qualities which he
would have brought into the service of his fellow-
townsmen, must be too well known to need recapi-
tulation ; and we shall content ourselves with the
reflection that we have done our part in calling
attention to them.
We cannot conclude these brief remarks without
paying that tribute of gratitude which is justly due
to Mr. CHARLES TURNER, for the services which
he has rendered to his fellow-townsmen during the
short time which he has represented them in Par-
liament ; and it is a feeling which we may confi-
dently say is shared by nearly the whole of his con-
stituents. He has been indefatigable in his attend-
ance in the House of Commons, and on all ques-
tions affecting the shipping and commercial inte-
rests of the port he has taken a prominent part in
the discussion ; his vote on every occasion has
been in direct accordance with the principles upon
which he was returned ; he has been accessible at
all times to all who required his aid or assistance ;
and his fitness to occupy the high position to which
he had attained, was fully recognised in the cordial
manner in which he was received by the leading
members of the great Conservative party, and the
respect with which he was always listened to in the
House of Commons. He returns to his consti-
tuents with his honour not only untarnished, but
rendered brighter by the ordeal which it has under-
gone ; and whenever the opportunity shall occur
of again returning him as the Representative of
Liverpool, his position at the head of the poll will
show the distinguished place which he occupies in
the good opinion of his fellow-townsmen.
Since Writing the above, and almost at the in-

than a hundred witnesses have been examined, legal
ingenuity has been taxed, and assertions exaggerated
to the verge which separates truth from falsehood ;
and, after all, that Committee, which, from its con-
stitution of three Liberals to two Conservatives,
was boasted of, as being favourable to the views of
the Petitioners, have reported, that nothing from all
this volumnious testimony has been elicited to
justify any further enquiry, to delay the issue of a
new writ, or to impugn that electoral purity which
was so Liberally attacked. Well was it observed,
that no two members in the House of Commons
who had stood a contest were more justly entitled
to their seats than Messrs. TURNER and MACKEN-
ZIE; the decision is practically and essentially a
Conservative triumph, as signal as that which
marked the election; and we leave the Radicals,
who would not be content with their previous dis-
comfiture, to chew the cud of bitter mortification at
their present double defeat, which has annihilated
their position as a party in Liverpool, and into
which they have been betrayed by the overweening
confidence of their own partisans, without even the
poor consolation of the credit of sincerity, after the
admission by Mr. RATIIBONE of the offer of a com-
promise. Sic transit gloria Radicales.

the Bill may be judged from the allegations in the

petitions against it, one of which, presented by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL with much form, purported to
emanate from the Nuns of an establishment in
Essex. They stated that they were free to go out
and come in, and to receive and visit their friends
when they pleased, and they prayed the House not
to subject them to such inquisitorial visitation as
was proposed. If their allegations be true, they
have nothing to dread from the Bill, for they would
not be subject to its operation ; but we have ample
evidence to the fact that no nun is a free agent to
do anything, and therefore the signatures to such
a petition are of not the slightest ralue, as they
may have been obtained under priestly coercion or
applied without resorting to them. The division,
however, may be viewed as a complete Ministerial
defeat, as the list in the minority contains the
names of

LordJoHN RUSSELL, Sir W. MOLESVCORTH,

Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. BARNES,
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. HAY TER,
Sir CHARLES WOOD, Mr. F. PEEL,

Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. KEOGH,

Mr. CARDWELL, Mr. MONSELL,
Sir J. YOUNG, Mr. STRUTT,
Sir A. COCKBURN, Mr. OSBORNE,
Sir R. BETHELL,

to say nothing of the smaller fry of Ministerial
dependents who share in the discomfiture. We

may therefore congratulate our readers on the
prospect of some check being placed on those
iniquitous proceedings of which these professedly re-
ligious establishments have been too often the scene.

RADICAL IMBECILITY.—THE BALLOT
FOR LIVERPOOL.
APART from the difference of opinion on great
political questions, which must always exist in an
intelligent community, there is something so super-
latively absurd, so thoroughly childish, and so
utterly contemptible in the sayings and doings of
some of the leading advccates of Radicalism, that
the only surprise is that men of ordinary capacity
should allow themselves to be deluded as they are
in supporting such a system. We can readily under-
stand that many of those whose time and attention
have been almost engrossed by their own business,
and whose acquaintance with politics is derived from
a cursory perusal of the newspapers of the day,
may adopt what are called Liberal opinions, as
being the most plausible and specious ; but we are
forced to the conclusion that a thorough-going
Liberal, or by whatever other name he may be
called, is necessarily deficient either in honesty or
political intelligence. Take the most recent case,
and one which has somewhat of a local interest,
and it forcibly illustrates this position. When, on
Tuesday last, Mr. FRESIIFIELD gave notice that
on that day week he should move that a new writ
be issued for the Borough of LIVERPOOL, Lord
DUDLEY STUART, the representative of the boasted
intelligence of a Metropolitan Borough, gave notice
that he should move as an amendment, that the
votes at the forthcoming Liverpool Election should
be taken by way of Ballot. Now let us place this
promised motion on any hypothesis, and its absur-
dity will be almost equally apparent. Did he ima-
gine that if it were possible to institute the Ballot
for this special occasion, it would prevent the elec-

tors from returning two Conservative representa-
tives by a triumphant majority, if the Radicals

should be so insane as to dare a contest ? In the
next place, was he foolish enough to suppose that
the House of Commons, after rejecting the Ballot
by so large a majority a few days previously,

would

reverse their own decision for this ►articular case

But even if this difficulty were got over, was he

No later news of importance.
Paris advices report an increased feeling of confidence
in the maintenance of peace.
Constantinople letters of the 13th state that Baron
Bruck, the Austrian Envoy, had endeavoured to induce
the Porte to come to some conciliatory measures, but the
Sultan was firmly resolved not to accept the Ultimatum.
M. de Bruck is, however, reported to have so far succeeded
as to persuade the Divan to declare in reply to Count
Nesslerode, that the Sultan considers the last Imperial
Firman in favour of the Christians as a Moral engage.
ment of the Porte towards all the Christian powers.
Should the Russians occupy the Principalities, it does not
appear likely that they will enter them for some time.
PERSIA.--An Erzaroun letter of the 3rd of June
speaks of inundations and cholera at Teheran, locusts at
ispahan, and a terrible earthquake at Eshirez and Cashan.
At the former place 12 to 18,000 persons are said to have
been killed, as the disaster occurred during the night ;
and the stench arising from the dead bodies was such as
to produce an epidemic very much resembling the plague.
At Teheran cholera bad diminished.

FRANCE.—Accounts from the southern Departments
respecting the state of the harvests are very bad ; late rains
injured the whole of several districts. From the North
and West the accounts are not so bad, but if the weather
does not improve, the prospects of the harvest will be
gloomy.
INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIA.

The steamer Austria, arrived at Trieste on the 26th of
June, at 11h. 45m. p.m., in 106 hours from Alexandria.
The India, Chinese, and Australian mails have arrived,
with intelligence from Calcutta to the 16th of May ;
Hong Kong, to the 6,11 of May ; Sydney, to the 3rd of
April ; Melbourne, to the 6th of April ; and from King
George's Sound to the )Bth of April.
No definite news from Rangoon, but it was expected
that either the treaty with the King of Asa would be
signed at once, or that the troops would move on to Ava.
The governor-general is anxious to bring the war to a
close.

Trade at Calcutta was languid. Exchange on LDndon
2s. 11,-(1.

There is no mail from Shanghai, nor any intelligence
as to the insurrection in China. At Canton, a French
commodore had seized two Englishinen, and forcibly con-
veyed them onboard of his ship, for walking near a French
flag-staff on shore. Exchange at Hong Kong, ss. per
dollar.

In Australia, things were proceeding prosperously.
From the Ist of January to the 6th of April, 500,000
ounces of gold had been shipped. The price of gold was
.£3.1175. 6d. per ounce. At Melbourne, the exchange
was at par.

No Intelligence from Bombay—the last steamer from
Alesandria having conveyed the mail that was to have
gone on by this steamer.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Lord LYNDHURST asked the Earl of Aberdeen when it
was intended to lay before the house a copy of the State
Papers recently issued by Count Nesslerode on the im-
pending dispute between Russia and the Porte. He did
not himself hesitate to say, that if the version of that
paper, which appeared in the public journals, was correct, it
was one of the most fallacious, offensive, illogical, and
insulting documents he had ever met with. _ _ .

The Earl of ABERDEEN saiitiaiacoPy would be laid
before Parliament in a few days.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented a petition from the
inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Norwich, pray-
ing that English salt may be imported into all parts of British
India upon the same terms and conditions as other goods and
merchandise.
The Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill
passed through committee.
On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN, their lordships

On the motion that their lordships agree in an address, pray-
ing for an inquiry into the state of the borough of Tynernouth,
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Lord REDESDALE Ob-
jected to the motion.
The Earl of ABERDEEN and Lord BROUGHAM supported it.
The house divided—For the address, 33 ; against it,
13 ;
majority, 20.
The address was then amreed to.

CrintKe;;lotion fOr the third reading of the Income Tax Bill,
Lord BROUGHAM proceeded to discuss the arguments for
and against the tax at some length, considering that it ought
to be reserved for a time of war, and concluded by expressing
ahe bill, I fear that the tax would not terminate at the period fixed by
tSCO.
Lord fiIonEAGLE followed somewhat to the same effect.
