EVERTON WARD.

This ward has been gallantly carried. To use a sporting
phrase, Mr. Hodgson took the lead and kept it. The state
of the poll, at four o'clock, was as follows :
Mr. Hodgson 3OB
Mr. Brown. • •
Majority --21
At half-past three it was quite clear that Mi. Brown's
chance was gone ; and at four o'clock, when the announce-
ment was made, the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Mr.
Hodgson appeared at the window of his committee-room,
and addressed his friends as follows :—He said, that he felt
highly gratified at the victory that had been gained that
day. The result was in favour of himself 308, and 287 for
Mr. Brown, being a majority of 21. (Loud cheering.) It
was customary to say, that those who had favours conferred
upon them were proud of them ; he might truly say, that he
was not only proud but highly gratified that the good cause
should have been so triumphant. He did nOt speak for
himself, but he. felt great exultation in finding that their
labours to support the object of their choice had been suc-
cessful. (Cheers.) He felt highly delighted that the cause
had been triumphant—that the cause of Protestantism, the
cause of the Church of England, had been successful. He
trusted that the day was not far distant when he and they
should see this great town relieved of those who appear de-
termined to destroy all that was good, all that was excellent,
and all that was valuable in the institutions of Great _Bri-
tain. He could not do more, then, than thank -them-warmly
for their great exertions in his favour, and he hoped that
they would all depart to their homes, after the struggle they
had experienced, with a happy consciousness that every man
that day had done his duty. (Loud and enthusiastic cheer-
ing.)
Mr. Dover, the chairman of Mr. Hodgson's committee,
said, that they had beaten their opponents most fairly—they
had beaten them in spite of the influence of the American
trade—they had beaten them although they had to fight
against the bought votes. Their victory might be ascribed
to the strong Protestant feeling which, he feared, had been
too long dormant in this country. He was glad to see it
rising again. He hoped that next year there would be a
conservative mayor. (Cheers.) They would all follow him
to church. He would say no more, but ask them for three
cheers for the Protestant cause. Three cheers were then
given for the conservative cause, and three for Lord Sandon,
when Mr. Hodgson left his committee-room, attended by
his friends, amidst loud marks of approbation.

TEXAS.

From Texas, as well as from Mexico, we have no authentic
intelligence since the Great Western sailed. A rumour has
reached us of a movement in New Mexico, in favour of Texas,
but from the circuitous route by which it comes, and from
other circumstances, it seems hardly credible. The Cen-
tralists, the party most hostile to Texas, had the ascendancy
at all the important points of New Mexico, at our previous
dates, and the story is most probably a fabrication.

CANADA.

The act lately passed by the Imperial Parliament for the
union of the Canadas, seems to meet with greater opposition
in certain quarters than was at first anticipated. The oppo-
nents of the union state that the measure will lead to a sepa-
ration between Canada and the mother country. They see
that Canada has now the power to separate if she pleases ;
but why take for granted that she will use that power for that
purpose ? They do so because they assume that the United
Provinces will be governed as each of the two has been, upon
the mixed system of representation without executive re-
sponsibility, and that the verging-on-revolution state thus
produced will render the colony discontented.
A large meeting was to be held at Quebec, on the 13th in-
stant, of those opposed to the union. It is thought, however,
that the opposition will graduully diminish, and that the mea-
sure will eventually become popular. The evils apprehended
strike us as entirely imaginary, and when the subject is un-
derstood, the measure must meet with general acceptance.
Horse racing has become quite the rage in the Canadas
during the two past years, and we hope it will be a source of
improving the breed of horses, besides affording sport to the
public. The Niagara meeting was to take place on the 14th
and 15th instant.

TIIE MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The TOWN-CLERK, after stating the interviews which he
had had with the assessors, and with several legal gentlemen
of the town, touching the rules to be observed and the legal
course to be pursued at the municipal election, read over the
opinions of himself and counsel which have already been
published. The opinion which has been made public was
obtained in reply to a case submitted by one of the assessors,
who differed from the Town-clerk. The opinion obtained
confirmed the Town-clerk's views. The Town-clerk, deem-
ing that it was proper to have the law clearly defined before-
hand, so that they might not have anything of that nature
on hand on the day of election, obtained another opinion
from the Attorney-General, Sir Frederick Pollock, and Mr.
Wightman. This is still further confirmatory of the Town-
clerk's view of the law. The reply subjoined arises from the
three following points :—The removal of a burgess after the
31st August ; two or more qualifications in several wards ;
and receiving voting papers when four o'clock, the time of
closing, is at hand. and taking the same into consideration,
and admitting or rejecting them after the booth is closed.
The following is a copy of the opinion :

CANADA.

The act lately passed by the Imperial Parliament for the
union of the Canadas, seems to meet with greater opposition
in certain quarters than was at first anticipated. The oppo-
nents of the union state that the measure will lead to a sepa-
ration between Canada and the mother country. They see
that Canada has now the power to separate if she pleases ;
but why take for granted that she will use that power for that
purpose ? They do so because they assume that the United
Provinces will be governed as each of the two has been, upon
the mixed system of representation without executive re-
sponsibility, and that the verging-on-revolution state thus
produced will render the colony discontented.
A large meeting was to be held at Quebec, on the 13th in-
stant, of those opposed to the union. It is thought, however,
that the opposition will gradually diminish, and that the mea-
sure will eventually become popular. The evils apprehended
strike us as entirely imaginary, and when the subject is un-
derstood, the measure must meet with general acceptance.
Horse racing has become quite the rage in the Canadas
during the two past years, and we hope it will be a source of
improving the breed of horses, besides affording sport to the
public. The Niagara meeting was to take place on the 14th
and 15th instant.

STATE OF TRADE

LANCASHIRE.—The trade in the cotton factories at Burn-
ley is in a moderate healthy state ; there are sixteen cotton
mills in this neighbourhood, in fifteen of which the hands are
working full time. The trade in the cotton mills at Padiham
and Colne is much in the same state as the above; but hand-
loom weavers are certainly better employed than they are in
the neighbourhood of Burnley. Calico block printing has
not been so dull for a long time past. The silk trade at
Manchester, Middleton, Failsworth, Leigh, and other towns
ten miles round Manchester, is extremely brisk ; the de-
mand is chiefly for fine printed Satins and other printed fan-
cy goods. The printing upon silk wares has increased more
than double during the last month.---preston Chronicle.

WEST DERBY WARD.

The retiring member for this ward was Mr. G. H. Law-
rence, (conservative) who stood again on the same interest.
It was with some difficulty that the radicals found a candi-
date in the person of Mr. Lawrence Heyworth, jun., the son
of the president of the teetotallers. It was evident from the
first hour in the morning that this unfledged aspirant for
municipal honours had not the slightest chance of success.
Mr. Lawrence maintained his position from the first, and

continued to augment his majority from hour to hour until
the close. There was very little excitement in the neighbour-
hood of the polling booth, the opposition to Mr. Lawrence
being looked upon as a complete farce. The numbers at the
close of the poll were, for Mr. G. H. Lawrence 156, and for
Mr. L. Heyworth 96—giving the former a majority of 60.
The radicals have no chance whatever in this ward.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-11-03

SCOTLAND WARD

The contest in this ward was of a neck and neck charac-
ter during the whole of the day, each party having alternately
the advantage by a few votes. At three o'clock the Conser-
vative candidate, Mr. Thomas Murray Gladstone, was in a
majority of two, and during the last hour both parties were
extremely active. At five minutes before four o'clock, Mr.
Thornhill, the Radical candidate, went up and voted for
himsellf and: the polling booth was immediately closed,
leaving that gentleman member for Scotland ward by a ma-
jority of one—viz., by his own vote ! The successful candi-
date was hoisted up upon the shoulders of a few of his
partisans, and after some vociferous shouting, adjourned to
his Committee-room to felicitate his friends upon his narrow
escape from political extinction.
The advantage of being in favour with the " powers that
be," was fully exemplified in this ward, Throughout the
last hour the passage to the polling booth was permitted to
be occupied by the partisans of Mr. Thornhill, and the
grossest intimidation and hindrance offered to the voters of
Mr. Gladstone. The closing of the polling-booth some
minutes before four o'clock, when several Conservatives
were wailing to poll, is one of those clever tricks which
whig-radicalism plays off when permitted ; but may probably
on this occasion leave that party little to rejoice in eventu-
ally. A voter, in the interest of Mr. Gladstone, was per-
sonated in the early part of the forenoon, and the real voter.
on presenting himself, was turned back by the presiding
aldernian. A protest has been made on this and other
grounds, which we trust will result in seating Mr. Gladstone
as member for the ward.
Mr. Gladstone having briefly thanked the gentlemen of his
committee and the voters in his interest for their arduous
exertions, withdrew with his friends, and the assembly was
addressed in an energetic speech by Mr. Davis, one of his
committee, by whom the unfair proceedings of the Radical
party were ably exposed. The concluding numbers at four
o'clock were—_

For Gladstone

VAUXHALL WARD

From the commencement of the polling the Conservative
candidate took the lead, and, we are happy to say, kept it
throughout the numbers, being at the close at four o'clock—
For Mr. Copeland, Conservative 108
For Mr. Preston, Radical B6
Majority —22
On the announcement of the majority, Mr. Copeland returned
thanks to his friends and supporters for the proud position in
which they had placed him on the poll. When he first came
before them he was told that Vauxhall ward was the back-
bone of Liverpool ; and he was happy to acknowledge that,
by their exertions in his behalf that day, they had proved
their ward to be worthy of the title.

SOUTH TOXTETH WARD.

The candidates for this ward were Mr. John Sheppard,
gentleman conservative ; and Mr. John Platt, iron-mer-
chant, radical. Very considerable interest was excited in
this ward, which was nobly contested by the conservative
candidate, who, though he has lost the day by a small num-
ber of votes, will, we trust, be triumphant on the next occa-
sion. Mr. Platt got ahead considerably at an early hour,
and though Mr. Sheppard gained rapidly upon him, particu-
larly towards the close, he (Mr. S.) could not entirely make
up his leeway. The following were the closing numbers :
Platt
Sheppard l3B

Majority for Platt .. 6 •
It should be remarked that at a quarter-past three Mr.
Platt was hut three ahead of Mr. Sheppard ; at half-past, 6 ;
and at a quarter to four, (as well as at the close), only 6.
Towards the close of the poll, several slight pugilistic en-
counters took place, but the police restored order. A good
deal of amusement was created by an old man, who had sa-
crificed largely to the rosy god, wishing to give his vote to
Mr. Sheppard, and whose vote was refused on the score of
his inebriety. He repeatedly found his way to Mr. Shep-
pard's committee-room, accompanied by his wife ; but his
vote not being received when he tendered it, he refused to
vote at all. As the polling-place is in the outskirts of the
!own and the ward extensive, cars and coaches were employed
in considerable numbers by both parties in bringing up l'he
voters who had lagged behind. The contest was so close to-
wards the conclusion, that the appearance of these vehicles
was loudly cheered by the parties at whose committee-rooms
they drew up. It will be observed that the voters had be-
come nearly exhausted before the close.

Cancers, Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lom-
bago, likewise in Cases of Piles, the Pills (in all the above
cases) ought to be used with the Ointment, as by this means
cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in
half the time it would require by using the Ointment alone.
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also
Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the
use of the Ointment. t_ _

THE PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when
used with the Ointment, but as a general Medicine there is
nothing equal to them. In nervous affections they will be
found of the greatest service. These Pills are, without ex-
ception, the finest Purifier of the Blood ever discovered, and
