EVERTON AND KIRKDALE `YARD,

On Friday evening, a numerously attended and influen-
tial meeting of the electors in the Everton and Kirkdale
Ward was held at Halliday's Coffee-house. Mr. Thomas
Carson was called to the chair, and in opening the meet-
ing, he said, that however much he might regret the
decision of the select committee of the House of Com-
mons, he thought the constituency might congratulate
themselves upon the good character their opponents had
so unwittingly given them. (Cheers.) Although those
proceedings were both frivolous and vexatious in the high-
est degree—(bear, hear.)—he trusted that they would
control their feelings and conduct themselves calmly.
Mr. ROBT. HORSFALL, who was most warmly received,
proposed the first resolution :—" That this meeting deems
it its first and paramount duty to offer to Charles Turner
and Forbes Mackenzie, Esqrs., the expression of their
sincere sympathy on the result of the proceedings before
the Election Committee of the House of Commons, and
of their decided approbation of their public conduct during
the period in which they have represented this borough in
Parliament.
Mr. ROBERT AXED seconded the resolution, which
was carried with enthusiastic unanimity.
Mr. MADDOCK then proposed :—" That although the
decision of the committee, founded upon a bare technical
necessity, has unseated the late members, this meeting
rejoices that the inquiry before that committee has estab-
lished beyond all doubt the fact of the purity of the con-
stituency of Liverpool, and has thoroughly refuted all
the calumnies which, for nearly twelve months, have been
heaped upon the Conservative party in this town by their
unscrupulous opponents."
Mr. MANGER seconded the resolution, which was also
carried unanimously. . _

Mr. ROHM', then nroposed,—" That in the opinion
of this meeting the Hon. Henry Thomas Liddell, and
Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq., are fit and proper persons
to represent this borough in parliament, and the electors
now present pledge themselves to tie every exertion and

adopt all

Lawful means to secure their election."

The resolution was seconded by Mr. LANGTON, who
eulogised Mr. Liddell. He believed be was a gentleman
of undeniable integrity and ability, and it would doubtless
gratify the ladies to know that he was very good-looking,
and the father of thirteen children. (Laughter and cheers).

A vote of thanks, and three cheers, were then given for
the chairman, and three extra cheers for Mr. T. B. Hors_
fall, followed by groans for Mr. Rathbone.

mously carried.

the meeting to support the Hon. Mr. Liddell and Mr.
Thomas B. Horsfall. .

throughout, terminated.
