TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sra,—We being on the eve of an election in conse-
quence of the death of our lamented representative, Bootie
Wilbraham, it is nothing but what conservatives may
expect if they are visited both publicly and privately with
falsehoods and misrepresentations, both upon their con-
servative candidate and the conservative cause, by the
foul-mouthed radicals and anti-corn-law men, so that
they can by any means (be they foul enough) deceive and
catch some voters who understand not their craft.
These means, Mr. Editor, are now put forth in St.
Helen's and neik hbourhood, for this afternoon the wall
was placarded with a bill headed " Income Tax," and
stating several falsehoods calculated to deceive the electors.
But this placard, with calumny stamped upon the face of
it, was not allowed by the true conservatives of St. Helen's
to go abroad without receiving a flat contradiction. They,,
knowing from Mr. Entwistle's own speeches that he bad
denied the assertions stated in this placard, and that they
were got up for no other purpose but to set some of the
voter's minds against our conservative candidate, Mr. Ent-
wistle, in a short time after the leaguers' placard had been
placed on the wall, had another put up opposite to each of
theirs, contradicting what they bad said. It is as follows :
" League Falsehoods ! Electors of South Lancashire,
Mr. Entwistle is no Puseyile ; for be says, 'lam a mem-
ber of the Established Church: Ido not hold any of the
tenets which are generally considered the destructive
tenets of Romanism.'—hfr. Entwistle's Speech at Roch-
dale. But Mr. Brown says, in a speech of his at Liver-
pool, lam not an Unitarian, though I should not con-
sider it a degradation to be so, I assure you; nor am I a
Catholic.'—.2llr. Brown's Speech at Liverpool. Who,
with common sense, will say that Mr. Brown is as much
attached to his religion as Mr.-Entwistle ? On the in-
come tax Mr. Entwistle says, ' The question may often be
asked whether, if returned to parliament, 1 will advocate
the repeal of the income tax, at the end of the three years
for which it was originally enacted? I think no gentle-
man who hears me will doubt for an instant, that if the
state of the country will admit it I shall be extremely glad
to vote for its repeal, and get rid of it, and I think every
body else will do the same.'—Mr. Entwisle's Speech at
Rochdale. Mr. Entwisle, therefore, does not say he
will vote for the income tax. Although Mr. Entwistle is
'a large land proprietor, yet the principal part cf his pro-.
perty being situated in the neighbourhood of Msnehester,
that property is principally dependent on the prosperity
of manufacturers; and who will deny that the southern
division of this county is not of greater importance in its
manufacturing departments to all classes of society than
its agricultural can be? Electors! take no heed to the
professed liberality of the League and its party. Vote for
Entwistle, who is in every way qualified to represent you
in parliament, not only in your agricultural, but com-
mercial, affairs.
This, sir, I think is a good retort, and speaks volumes
in behalf of the conservatives of St. Helen's, for standing,,
up so nobly for the good cause. It would please them
greatly if they could but bear that their brethren in other
parts were working hard to return Mr. Entwistle ; but
from reports which have been received their friends appear
to be idle, thinking it can be got without exertion. Our
watch words must be,—work, work ! all to the poll!
I remain, dear sir,
A LOVER OF TRUTH.

[Our correspondent need not be alarmed by the false
reports of the inactivity of conservatives. All the dis-
tricts have been canvassed, and the result is most grati-
fying to the good cause.]

THE BATES.—It will be seen by an advertisement in
our first page that the baths on the pier head, which have
been considerably improved, are again open for the sum-
mer season.

PAINTINGS AT MR. GRUNDY'S.—It will be seen by our
advertising columns that the paintings of the Queen's
first 'Council, and of Mr. Gladstone, which we have
already noticed at some length, are still on view.—Those
who have not yet seen them should not lose this, which
will in all probability be the last, opportunity.
HAIL-SITOWER.—On Friday evening there was a light
shower of bail at Ciiildwall, which lasted about five.
minutes, and was succeeded by an intense coldness of the
atmosphere.

FRENCH ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.—We were much gra-
tified a few days ago by the inspection of an extensive
stock of these articles, advertised in another column by
Mrs. Girvan. Though we are not connoiscurs in this mat-
ter we must pronounce them certainly by far the most
beautiful we have ever seen, and many of them are so ex-
ceedingly delicate and so closely resemble nature, that it
requires a minute examination to detect them from the
reality. They comprize every variety, from the most su-
perb exotics to the common field weed, and are so infi-
nitely superior to those generally displayed as to be at
least worthy an inspection.

HOUSEBREAKING IN ABERDEEN—On theafternßon of
Sabbath last, during the time of divine service, a house in
Union-street, the inmates of which were at church, was
entered by some daring thieves, who unfortunately suc-
ceeded in getting clear off:with a quantity of silver plate,
and other articles to the value of nearly £2OO. The
house is one of those that is entered by a common stair,
and has shut-in floors, in two of which the thieves perpe-
trated their depredations. From one family they took a
complete service of table plate, two gold watches, a silver
one, six gold rings, and other trinkets, to the value in
all, of £l5O. From the other floor they carried off silver
spoons, toddy ladles, &c.—Aberdeen Journal.

Gentlemen,—Of" the Church-street
last supply ofWhitb OLDRIDGE'S BALM of
COLUMBIA, every bottle was sold immediately on receipt, and
I have many more bespoke, only waiting for a further supply,
which I hope you will send without the least delay. Orders
have poUred in more than ever since the powerful effects of the
Balm have been so decisively demonstrated in the cases of se-
veral credible and respectab'e inhabitants of the town. One in:-
stance, among others which have atti acted particular attention,
is the case of a gentleman who had had little or no hair for
twenty years : he had tried numerous preparations in vain, and
ultimately had his head shaved, and wore a wig. At my recom-
mendation he tried the Balm ; and after using it according to
the directions fora short t me, the young hair appeared, and he
has now as fine a head of hair aatany person in Whitby.
