MORE COMMERCIAL DISASTERS.—The Times of yester-
day says, " We regret to have to announce the suspension
of Messrs. Scott, Bell, and - Co., East India agents and
general merchants. - This-event • has arisen from about
£35.000 of the recent remittances received by them from
India being upon failed houses. The total acceptances of
the firm are £240,000, but of these £150,000 are covered
by a lien on goods shipped to India (which, judging from
the last accounts, are likely, to find a steady sale), while
the open cash debts will probably•not exceed £10;000.
We have here therefore only £190,000 unsecured, and, as
the assets, which are stated nominally at %£350,000, are
considered by cautious persons amply sufficient, even
under the worst circumstances, to meet more than that
amount, there is every prospect of a good liquidation.
The, house, was one almost entirely of agency, and its
business was:with Madras, Calcutta, Mauritius, and also
the Mediterranean. Messrs.. Binny. and Co.' an inde-
pendent firm, are their correspondents at Madras. It
will he observed that this failure, although -it is deeply
regrettA, is one of a class which must have been antici-
pated, since it would have been .out, of the question that
the recent failures in the India trade could have taken
place without_compromiSing other firms, and placing their
affairs in a degree of uncertainty that would render tempo-
rary_ suspension, at all events, inevitable. The accept-
ances also of Mr. Lackcr4teen, another house in the East.
India trade, were returned this afternoon. It r a appe • s
that the draughts of the Union Bank of Calcutta, received
by the present mail, have been refused acceptance by
Messrs. Glyn and. Co. It is expected; however, that. the
institution will meet all its engagements; but the bank is
understood to have made large advances -on indigo fac-
tories, which is one reason for Messrs. Glyn's caution."
iii.EETINGS OF CREDITORS.-7-011 Monday a meeting of
.the creditors of Cockerell and. Co. was held, when a no-
minal surplus 0f.X190,000 was exhibited. The formidable
item of £435,500 appears to -be. due from the Calcutta
house.: The house is to be wound up under inspection,
and £5OOO was set apart for the liquidation of small claims
.under£loo.—At the meeting of Messrs. Castellain and
Co.'s creditors, :the -statement showed a deficiency of
£36,048, and a probable dividend of. 9s. Bd. in the pound.
—The account .of Messrs: Thomas, Son, and Lefevre
shows a balance of assets over liabilities of £4o,9l2—the
liabilities being £401,760, and the assets £441,972. The
ultimate liquidation in full will depend upon the ability of
De Jersey and Co. cf .Manchester, and of the St. Peters-
burgh firm, who ligUre jointly for £363,000 to meet their
I engagements ; but, as it is known that De Jersey and Co.
have made arrangements by which they are likely to sus- ,
tain themselves, and as it is believed also that the St.
Fetershurgh house (from whom a balance sheet was re-
ceived about March last, shoWing a surplus of s£8,000) .
will be able to hold its ground, the prospect-is certainly
much Mae favourable than anticipated.—At a meeting of
Messrs. Perkins, Schlusser, and. Mullins' creditors, on
. Wednesday, a surplus was shewn of £8,721 ; and thus far, ,
therefore, the expectations held out at the-date of suspen-
sion bid fair to be.realised. At the same time, the liabi-
lities on bills. receivable are very large, and much will
consequently depend upon the absence of any casualties.
The concern is to be wound up under inspeclion.The
affairs of Messrs. Hastie and Co. of -Glasgow, show-a -de-
ficiency of, only £11,655, and a dividend of 15s. in the
, pound.. It. transpired that the .firm.'hiul sustained bad
debts, since the commencement of the corn panic, to the
extent of £2B,ooo.—The inspectors appointed to carry
• out the liquidation of the affairs of Messrs. Giles, Son, and
Co. (whose failure took place on the 13th of August, and
whose statement, showing a dividend of 12s. 6d. in the
pound,_was published on the 23rd of September), have
proceeded so far in the realization of the assets as to en-
able them to declare a. first dividend of 6s. Bd. in the
pound, payable-on the 10th of November next,On Sa-
turday ,a meeting of Messrs. Gower,- Nephews, and Co.
was held. The liabilities: were stated at £450,832, and
the assets, according to the ledger balances, to £573,501 ;
but the present valuation of these is now only £112,831.
The assets are, therefore, equal to a dividend of ss. in the
pound, exclusive of the proceeds that may be derived from
the Mauritius estates put. down in the 'ledger at a quarter
of a million.. Thomason of so large an amount of doubt-
ful debt being valued at so small a sum was said to result
from the condition of several- other firms with whom
Gower and Co. held dealings. For instance, the three
following cases were cited in illustration of the kind of ac-
counts included in
-trite estimate :—Alison, Cumberledge,
and £33,404 ; a claim upon a house at Naples for
nearly Co„i70,000 ; and another upon a house in Glasgow for
£18,000; neither of which, it was believed, would yield
scarcely anything.
CULTIVATION OF THE BEAUTIFUL.—It has been the
fashidn wills prudes and pedants time immemorial to run
down, the advantages of external appearance—thus the
phrases, " Outside show," and" Skin-deep beauty," had
obtained a sort of currency which gave them, and others.
of similar import, an appearance of grave authority. The
present age is bold enough to question this dictum, and
even to go so far as to extol the study of externals as a
duty to
-society, which "should have presented to it agree.
able objects, and now contends that the cultivation of the
beautiiiil holds a placosecond in importance only to the
promotion of the good. This. it is which holds out encou-
ragement to, those who labour to put the public in pos-
session of means to this cud. Oldridge's Balm of. Co.
lumbia, as the most effective preservative or renovator of
that most beautifutornament the Human Hair, takes first
rank, and as long as its valuable properties continue to be
known and appreciated, must take the precedence of every 1
production intended fOr exterior improvenielit .in this i
direction.

[As an instance of Mr. Hoinby'S desire to do all in his
power, with a view of improving in every possible way
the corporation churches, we may mention that between
£3OO and £4OO has been eipended recently in beautifying
and renovating St. Michael's Church ; and we understand
that the churchwarden considers himself indebted mainly
:to. Mr. Hornby's exertions and perseverance for that

adopt measures for the removal of the nuisance in

which is without doubt the cause of the rapid increase of
fever in that neighbourhood ; and if allowed to remain

LORD SEFTON'S PORTRAIT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—If I mistake not, a few weeks ago you called the
attention of the public to a splendid painting of the. Earl
of, Sefton, by Messrs. Ansdal and Westeot. That pic-
ture was bought by subscription; and presented to the
Countess of Sefton by the gentlemen hunting with his
lordship. I cannot 'for one moment but suppose %that
that lady returned a gracious answer to ;the gift,- but I
assure-you I and Several others have never heard pro or
con. about it; andl therefore hope you will kindly insert
this in'your valuable paper, in hopes that it may meet the
eye of the secretary.
I am, lir. Editor, yours, much obliged,
A SUBSCRIBER.

The arrival of the " Sarah Sands" has brought us
advices from New York to the 6th inst. The arrival out
of the " Hibernia" on the 19th ult., with the accounts of
our commercial disasters, caused no small sensation in
America. The failures of Reid, Irving, and Co„ and of
• Gower and Co., was net expected to affect very.materially
the monetary aflairs of the States, as the American bills
drawn on those firms are; for the most part, drawn by
bankers or other strong corporations there, and if
they should come back, will be immediaTely
taken up by the sellers or indorsers. We
give the following from the New York Courier,
of the 6th instant. " The markets for produce are in an
unsettled state: Cotton, however, may be said to have
fallenabout Id., while prices of Flour and Wheat remain
nearly stationary. Exchange, the while, on England, is
rising. Bills at three days sight were sold to-day at 10
and 11 premium, while for sixty-day hills 9,1, and even
10 were asked. There is, however, so much fastidious-
ness just now about bills, that for favorite names any rate
at all within limit maybe asked. We quote to-day ster-
ling sixty-day bills at from 9 to 91, for although 10 is
asked in some quarters, we could not learn of any sales at'
that figure. On Paris bills were sold at 5,221. There is
:a. full pause in shipments, and freights go a begging.
Some orders for purchase of flour were, it is under Stood,
received by the Hibernia; if it could be laid down in Liver-
pool at 245. per barrel--but as the 'prices here for new
Genessee is from 5 dollars 75 cents to -5 dollars per barrel ;
these orders cannot be executed. The'fall-in the Liver,
pool cotton market (with favourable advices from the new
crop and the prospects of a dearth on the continent of
Europe) has unsettled the market, and produced a further
decline since the 31st ult., of three fotirths• of a cent per
pound. New Orleans, Sep. 29, 1837.--The new crop
continued to arrive pretty freely, while rates continued
steady. Sales of 1000 bales were made at full prices."
The accounts received of the affairs of Knapp and Co.,
the Abingdon bankers, (against whom a fiat in bankruptcy
has been issued), appear to be as bad as.possible. Speen-
lationS in the funds are understood to have been the'fii,al
Cause of. the break-up, and it is " feared these will be no
assets at all," so that many of the faimers in that part of
the country, who are large creditors, willbe nearly.ruined.
The advice's by the Indian Mail attracted considerable
attention'in London, as will be the case now on each ar-
rival for many months to Come, owing to the critical way
in which thb liquidation of the failed Bast India houses in
England will be affected by the state of the markets on
that side. As far as they prnspe4ively bear upon this
point, the accounts by the present mail cannot be regarded
as very satisfactory, since, at the date of its departure,
active shipments were still taking place, especially of rice
and sugar, Which will be discharged here upon markets
depressed far below any anticipations that may have been
formed. On the other hand, there is a general increased
firmness as regards our manufactured goods, both at Bom-
bay and Calcutta, as well as at Cantonot circumstance
which; taken in connexion with the accounts by the last
mail, may beheld to indicate that the monotonous, and
ahnost hopeless, decline which had 'so long prevailed has
at last been fairly arrested. The Exchange, also, is rather
more favourable,- mid the money market comparatively.
easy, with a prospect of much further improvement when-
ever it may be decided to close the government loan.
The:- Singapore accounts 'mention dulness 'as the per-
vading feature of the import inaOcets, though it is also re-
marked that prices had latterly shown some slight ten-
dency to firmness. The position of the Gambier planters
is described as exceedingly unfortunate ; while their pro-
duce was bringing quotations much tinder former years,
provisions ruled high, common Arracan rice costing the
consumers nearly £2 per picul.: The arrivals of sugar
from Siam were principally purchased for Bombay. Ad-

knows that the paper named is under the entire controul

The Daily News of Saturday says" The still'growing
and more threatening position of banking and commercial
affairi,is said at last, and not before they are in extreuzis,
to have seriously alarmed the government. A near rela-
tive of a gentleman occupying one of the highest official
positions, though not a metriber of the cabinet, has been
known to declare that the government must and would
interfere for the prevention of further mischief and the
remedy of present- financial disorder. At the meeting of
the Alten•Mining Company to-day, Mr. Labouchere, the
chairman and banker (brother of the President of the
Board of Trade) is said to have declared that, though beg-
ging not to be understood as speaking in any official senSe,
or from official knowledge, there could be no doubt, in his
opinion that the goVernment- must and would come for-
ward to grant assistance in'the• present overwhelming cri-
sis: As loans of Exchequer Bills must be out of the
question, seeing the discount and discredit to which they
are reduced, the assistance can only be rendered in one
Way, according to all appearance, and that is by relaxing;
and therefore nullifying,- the restrictions of the bank bill
of 1844. Even Sir Robert must now be more than
doubtful of the policy of these restrictions in times when
considerate accommodation .must be more than ever
necessary."
We may acid that a requisition to the Mayor is ampk• in
course of signature in Liverpool, requesting his worship
to Call a public meeting, " to consiecr the propriety of
petitioning the Queen to summon Parliament .to meet
forthwith for the purpose of deliberating on the alarming
condition of the country."

The CLERK of the PEACE addreesing the Court said,
there Were four of the gentlemen summoned to be in at-
, tendance as grand, jurors who bad not made their op-
; pearance. . Great inconvenience arose from this, and lie
reminded the Recorder that at the last Sessions he had
said that he should certainly inflict the fine. .
The RECORDER said that he was reluctant to do so, but
as the absence of gentlemen summoned, made the duties
to be performed more onerous upon those who duly at-
tended, he felt bound to fine them on this occasion £5
each—unless they showed good cause for their absence.
The ProelaMation against vice and immorality having
been read,
The RECORDER, then addressed the Jury. He said in
effect that an interval longer than usual had elapsed since
the last sitting of the court, and that within the space of
the last 76 days, 120 persons had been sent there for trial.
When it was remembered that in. 1546, there were 893
persons sent fortrial, they would perceive that the com-
mittals on this occasion were below the average number.
They would-find that- many of the offences charged were
committed by females, but,the offences, taken generally, ,
were' not of an aggravated character. • So far as the
calendar and the cases sent there enabled them to judge
of the state of crime, it appeared that the means employed
to preserve public order and safety, were,- on the whole,
effectually carried out by those on whom the duty devolved.
He hgd beforeltad Occasion to remark on thelarge number of
women broughtbefore that court. The total number of
wo-
men committed fortrial, in 1845, in England and Walesbore
the proportion of one female to four male offenders. On
! referring to their printed lists they would find that of .118
persons accused; no fewer than 50 were females. Such a
proportion was, he believed, unparalleled in any calendar,
in any part of the kingdom. Looking to the return of
their'previous offences, and calling to mind his past expe-
rience; ho knew that this unhappy class of offenders
passed through a course of vice and profligacy which,
eventually, led theni to the commission of higher crimes ;
and it was in vain to Lope that the disgrace of any punirh-
scent that could be inflicted would have much . beneficial
'effect upOn persons so abandoned, so hardened, and so
dead, to all' the better • influences. Cases, indeed, • may
occur, in Which such offenders were imprisoned, and even
banished.; but such examples did not sink far into the
midis of those of the same unfortunate class. Other
means were therefore required, in order to the, prevention
of crime amongst that class, whose course of life at
the outset, led, naturally, and almost necessarily, to
-.moral degradation. There was another 'class of female
Offenders whose number was on the inereasee--,those
Who • were implicated in shop-lifting. ,These were in
• -the habit of entering shops, on pretence of Making pur-
clises, and, on 'goods being shown to them, they took
the opportunit:, to purloin and conceal some of the articles..
It would be necessary to Visit this offence with considera.-
Ile severity, in order to its disminution. He proeeded
to say. that .at this season of unexampled commercial
gloom and anxiety, they could not but look (as we•under-
stood him) for the prevalence of much distress amongst
many of the working classes. The only cotton manufac.
' tory in this town had stopped, and various other extensive
concerns leel discharged their hands. Hut he felt a con-
fidence that in this well-ordered and intelligent commu-
nity, much privation would be borne without resort to
any illegal acts. Masters who had discharged. their hands
had not' done so froM caprice or any blameable motive,
but born actual necessity—the result of the state of corns
mercial affairs : and if this were felt severely by the poorer
classes, it was not before it was also felt by many in the
higher walks of life. He regretted much to add that the
borough was again likely to be overrun by vagrants from
Ireland, and this was the more remarkable, as the Irish
were now without the former excuse, the season having
been propitious : the sickness that had prevailed had much
abated, and a law was in operation for the removal of the
poor. -Without offering (which would indeed be difficult)
any suggestions to remedy this impending evil, be dis-
missed the grand jury to their duties.
Several true bills having been found, the trials pro-
teeded ; but the cases, which were of the usual character.
were not, throughout the day; of snore than minor
interest.

Do‘o STEALING.—At the police-court, yesterday, a Man -
named Thomas Stroud, and a young female named Eliza-.
beth Stroud,—respectively- brother and .sister-in-law,
were char,ged by several witnesses, the man with stealing
a dog of. the "ICing Charlie"-breed; and the female with
disposing of. it. The dog was produced and showed his
tine breed:by the-shortness of its nose, the ;treat length
of its cars, and the tine feathering of its limbs. It ap-
peared.that it had been bought some months ago by one
of the•witnesses for the sum. of XlO, - for a gentlemqn
nameti Pope. who was the owner, but who is now in Dub-
lin. The male prisoner was the principal aggressor, and
had neg,ociated for the sale of the dog to a party,--seidinit
it afterwatds'to him by the female,-who represented that
it belonged to her husband. She, asked for it, but
eventually .X 3 was offered and received by her. Mr.
Rushton, who expressed his • astonishment at the high
value put upon•the- animal—which was explained to him
as correct—said that by an act of parliament recently put
forth relating to dogs, the prisoners were liable on being
convicted before two justices to be imprisoned, for any
period not exceedin,g, six months. He had•no doubt but
the female wa3 the instrument of the male prisoner in the
transaction, and her•ease should be so considered; but as
the lownar was not rreEent-, Ile ;±auld remr.nd I.l= both
until Wcdnezday.

Green, a labourer, living in Great Howard-street. was so
severely scalded by a pail of water, (which Iliad been left_
uPon a stool) falling upon him when he was playing about,
that he died on Sunday.

LATER FROM AM

The packet-ship Ilehry Clay, Ca It left
New York on the 9111 instant, arrived in the 1.1 last
night.

The political news is of little importance.
Foreign exchange continued inactive. and the rates
were without alteration. Bills on London were quoted
at 94- to 91 per cent. premium. It was not packet-day
for the steamer for nearly a week rafter the Henry Clay
left, and there was not. therefor !, any set; Ve inquiry for
hills. In the meantime, a decline in quotations was ,
looked for. There was a large amount of bills on the
market, and, as soon as confidence became reinstated,
there would be, without doubt, a considerable decline in
rates. The commercial panie was fast wearing away, and
favourable advices from any quarter would immediately
bring back things to their former position. A very great
depression had, however, been experienced during, the
week. It was calculated that the recent improvements
in the prices of breatistuffA in England would give an
impetus to the forwarding of supplie from the interior
to the seaboard. The amounts received for tolls on the

canals, during the months of August and September last,
were above a third more than during the corrospontling
months of last year.
The rapid improvement in the financial of
Pennsylvania is a-matter of much astoni:thment. to not
only every citizen of that state, hut. to the bondholders ..
generally. The annual increase in the revenue, anti re-
duction in expenditures. operates with a twofold influence
in restoring the credit and financial prosperity of the
state. The actual rain to the state, in less than three
years, was nearly 5,000,000 dollars.
FREIGHTS.—To Liverpool, we quote flour at is. 6d.,
grain in bags at Gd. per bushel, and -cotton at 3-.16d. to -
Id. asked by packets. To London, rates were better.
For heavy goods 325. to 325. Gd. was aske.:, and for flour
2s. 6d. to 3s. For Havre and Hamburg, cotton was worth
5-6 c. to Ic.

NEW YORE, Friday Afternoon. Oct 8.
The weather, through the greater part of the day, proved •
extremely inclement, which, in a measure, suspended all
out-door business. The market for flour and grain was
firmer. New and fresh ground brands were in good de-
mand, and sales made at full prices—in some cases a slight .;
improvement was visible. Wheat was firm, and new-
Genessee
in light supply, and for all kinds there existed a.: ,
fait inquiry. Corn was firmer, and sales made at a slight
improvement. Oats were firm, while rye stood about the
same. Provisions continued inactive, while prices in a -
measure remained unchanged. Groceries sold to a mode--
rate extent, at about previous rates.
ASBES.—SmaII sales of Pots were made at 4.5 62i, and
of Pearls at 88. The market was steady.
BEESWAX.—SaIes of 1500 pounds were made at 24c, to
25c.

BREADSTUFFS.—FIour.—SaIes of 300 bbls. new Gene-.
see were made at S"5 87;!, and about 1000 do.—in two lots—
at $6; 200 do. Union Mills, Brooklyn, good brands, sold
at the same price; 1300 do. Oswego, new, sold at 45 87-b.
and 500 do. goal brands at £5 75; 500 do. Shawmut
Rochester, were sold at 46 ; good new Southern was
wanted at =B-6, and sales of 200 to 300 bbls. Georgetown,
fancy brands, were made 25. Wheat.— Sales of 1400
bushels Genesee, new, were made at 131 cents, and 500
ditto, poor. Southern, were sold at 105 cents. Corn.—
Sales of 2000 bushels round, were made at 68 cents ; 4000 -
ditto New Orleans. mixed, were made at 63 cents ; 1900
ditto high mixed sold at. 67, and 2000 ditto at 65. The
show of samples was light, and the market closed with
increased firmness. Meal.—New York was worth 412 75 a
42 871, and New Jersey at £3 25—no sales of moment
transpired. .Rye.—A. cargo sold. at 80 cents; delivered,
it was held at 82 cents. Oats.—Sales of 3000 bushels
were made at 53 cents.

CANDLES.—Sperm continued to sell at 32 cents.
COFFEE.—No sales transpired. The stock of Rio was
reduced it was said, to about 3000 bags in first hands.
There was no change in quotations.
COTTON.—The wet day and cloudy atmosphere were
much against operations in this line to day, the sales em-
braced only' about 600 bales, which were for export, and
at the quotations we annex, and at which holders did not
press sales.

PROTESTANT ORPHAN SOCIETY (IRELAND).

In our advertising columns will be found a notice of
the ,annual meetings of the several Auxiliaries to this
valuable Institution which, since the foundation in the
year 1825. has been the means of providing an asylum for
no less than seem hundred and thirty-nine orphans.
This year the cause orth(% orphan calls for special atten-
tion, for the SoCiety has felt; as seriously and directly as
any family in the land, The pressure of the times—the
increase of the price of provisions having caused a con-
siderably larger outlay- than .is the case in ordinary years.
The •class'relieVed by this Society has the very strongest
claims upon our sympathy.
It has been formed for the purpose of sheltering the -
destitute Orphans of Protestants alike from the miseries
of starvation and the evils of vice and superstition !
receiving continually under its parental care as many as
possible of the numerous applicants, whose only earthly
support either famine .or fever has numbered . with its
victims during the present year—surely its voice is but
pleading with the Christian Public to aid the most desti-
tute among the sufferers; it i; but .the united appeal of.
hundreds of Widowed mothers to save their orphan child-
ren from starvation. We earnestly entreat of all classes
of our fellow-townsmen to continue their support to this
valuable Institution, which stands forth as one of the
bulwarks of Protestantism in Ireland. The Society is,
highly commendable for its economy, for it affords an
asylum for orphans at considerably less expense than
they could be provh!cd .for ca ppners ? at the same tithe
rearing them in health and activity, and eventually putting
them out into the world as useful members of society.
In conclusion we sincenly hope that the Meetings and
Sermons will be well attended, and that the appeal of the
Deputation will not be made in vain.

REJOICINGS AT SEACOMBE.—Last tight, a salute of •
guns was. fired at Seacoathe, as a token of joy for the
assistance afforded by government to the Birkenhead
Commissioners for the completion of their docks.
We understand that a large and splendid iron steamer
will be launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Thos.
Vernon and Co.. to-morrow, (Wednesday.) at half-past
eleven o'clock. .Ntro,..bolleve she is .intended for the sta-
tion between Ifolyitead and Kingston.
Ronniay OF £loo.—On Thursday last, a gentleman,
who was about to proceed to America, was robbed of £lOO
from his trunk. kis said that a person who was staying
at the hotel has been arrested on suspicion of committing
the robbery.

COMmirmENTs Foram Al..—At the Police-court, yes-
terday, Henry :R.oberts, for stealing a basket of coals ;
Mary Murphy, for stealing 151bs, of beef from John
Birt, in St. Martin's Market, on Saturday ; James Barton,
for stealing a quantity of wathmakers' tools from the
workshop of Mr. Samuels; Catherine Hughes, forrobbing -
Joseph Burke of £2 lls. 6d., and Catherine M`Donald,
for robbing H. Whittle of X."-) 55., were severally com-
mitted for trial at the present sessions.
SUDDEN DEATH.---Ye.4erday, an inquest was held
before Mr. Curry, on view of- the body o;,Mary Livesey,
aged 62, who.. resided in T“mbricige-street. ~On Friday
night she. was left by her husband sitting at the fire, when-
he went to bed. About midnight he had occasion to get
up,, and found her sitting on the side of the bed quite
cold and dead. There was a quantity of blood upon the
floor. A. surgical examination showed that sue had died
from rupture of a blood-vessel in the trachea,, the result
of disease of the.lungs.
OBTAININb MONEY "UNDEIL FALSE PRETENCES.—At
the Police-court, yeAerday,, a man named Win. Beiwick
was charged by Mr. James Moorhouse, coal merchant,
with having obtained several sums of money for coals for
which he had received orders on his statement that he was
acting for the Complainant, wbo had not authorised him,
and to whoin he had not paid the amounts. He bad re-
ceived- 183. Od. from one persOn,, and other sums from
others. He had been formerlr employed by Mr. Moor-
house, but was discharged. The prisoner was committed
far trial.

I CONTRADICTION.-The Radicals are not over scrupul—
ous as to the means they resort to, to defeat.an opponent,.
but we have seldomm found them taking a more unworthy
step than that which has bcon deliberately resolved on to
injure Mr. G. G. Hornby in the estimation of the electors
of Everton Ward. The House Owners Guaidian Society
have issued a circus r, rise tang that liar. llornby voted
fiir the rating of the owneys of :!.;10 tenements, whereas
he voted ayithist it, and, • received for that vote the
thanks Of this Howe O ; nurdian Society, which was
communicated to him in a h tter. dated 214.4pri1, I$4G,
and written. by Mr. 'Walther:, who is now Mr. Horriby,'s
opponent for the.representat hitt of Evertpn.Ward. Surely
a little more caution should be exercised before statements
so palpably untrue are so indaStrionsly circulated,
