SOUTH LANCASHIRE LANCASHIRE ELECTION.
THE LIVERPOOL COMMITTEE for conducting
the ELECTION of WILLIAM ENTWISLE,
ESQ. SIT DAILY at the CONSERVATIVE OFFICE, 24,
Harrington-street.
EDMUND MOLYNEUX, Chairman.
May 13th, 1844.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
.1.3 Y the sudden decease of your late most respected
representative, the Honourable R. BOOTLE WIL.
BRA H AM, the trust committed to him by you, and fulfilled
through a period of several years, with untiring assiduity,
has returned into your own hands, and it has become
requisite for you to elect a successor. It is with great
diffidence that I offer myself to fulfil those duties, from a
deep sense of their importance, and of the vast iuterests
involved in the discharge of them ; but having received
the honour of a REQUISITION CALLING UPON
ME TO COME FORWARD, and signed by many of
the most influential Gentlemen of South Lancashire, I
have ventured to assent to their request, in the hope that
the same principles which guided yo .tipon the late
Election, and which were then so gly expressed that
no opposing Candidate was f on the hustings, may
stilt prevail, and that my c to your support may be
allowed to rest on the er than on any grounds of as
individual character
1 win sincerely attached to our Constitution, and to the
Established Church under which we live, and earnestly
desirous of maintaining the Rights and Liberties, both
Civil and Religious, of all classes of the people of this
Country. That these general principles are acceptable to
the Electors of this Division of the County, 1 have no
reason to doubt; but I am quite aware that there are
other questions of a more specific character on which
there is much greater difference of opinion. That a free-
dom of Trade as great as is compatible with the other
interests inseparably connected with those of Commerce
is indispensable to the welfare of the large and enterpris-
ing towns of this Division, cannot for a moment be
doubted, and I always shall be desirous to promote their
interests to the utmost of my power. I have seen with
great satisfaction that since the accession of the present
Ministry to office, these views have been fully recognised
and carried into effect by a considerable modification of
our Corn-laws, and by a complete revision of the Tariff
of Import Duties, and the result has been a most gratify..
ing improvement in the Trade of this District, and the
prosperity of the Country. To what extent any further
alterations may be desirable it would be premature to
consider, until the present system shall have had a fair
and full trial, but I avow myself decidedly opposed to
those who, under a pretext of the necessities of Com-
merce, would violently and recklessly sweep away all
protective regulations in favour of that other section of
the community employed in the cultivation of the land,
whose welfare is not less vital to the country than that of
Commerce itself.
I have thought it necessary to be thus explicit on this
point, as it is at once a matter of the greatest importance
to the Electors of this Division, that the interests of
Commerce and Manufactures should be always a primary
object with the Legislature, and because I am aware that
it is in all probability the chief topic on which you will be
urged to support another Candidate, whose Address has
already been circulated among you.
It will be my desire to explain myself more fully and
personally to all the Eletors as early as possible.
1 am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant.
WM. ENTWISLE.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
A DEPUTATION of Electors from Manchester, Li-
/1. verpool, and other important parts of the County,
having requested me to allow myself to be nominated to
supply the vacancy in your representation caused by the
lamented death of the Honourable R. BOOTLE WILBRA-
HAM, I have yielded to their request, and beg to announce
myself a CANDIDATE for the vacant seat for SOUTH
LANCASHIRE.
I am quite sensible that there are many gentlemen to
whom this important trust might be delegated with much
greater advantage to your interests, if they could, with
convenience, devote the timektecessary for your service.
I am, therefore, very f.hr" from arrogating to myself any
claim to your votes.eti private grounds.
Attached fro riineiule and long habit to the Liberal
party, I shall, if elected, give my decided support to every
measure which will tend to advance the education and to
improve the condition of the great mass of our country..
men, convinced, as I am, that no greater security can be
given to the free institutions of England than that which
arises from the increased intelligence and prosperity of
the industrious clas,es.
Upon many subjects of great interest which occupy ft prominent place in the public mind it is impossible to
dwell in the limits of this addeess. There is, however,
one question upon which I firmly believe the welfare of
the nation mainly depends, which involves at once all in-
terests, and which, in my opinion, is quite as important
to the preservation of the property of the Landlord and
the interests of the Farmer, as it is to those of the Ma-
nufacturer, the Merchant, and the Artisan. Upon this
most important question I desire to be distinctly under-
stood. It is a vital question. We may settle many other
matters of minor importance at our leisure, but this it is
dangerous to postpone. I have been all my life engaged
in commerce, I have witnessed much of the growth of
our trade and manufactures, and I have also had opportu-
nities of knowing something of the trade of other coun-
tries ; and I am convinced that nothing can enable us to
maintain our position among other nations but PERFECT
FREEDONI OF TRADE.
With unrestricted commerce and unfettered industry
we can defy competition in the wide range of manufac-
turing production, and our people might soon become, by
the result of their own exertions, the most happy and con-
tented in the world.
Here, in South Lancashire, if any where, the cause of
free trade ought to triumph. I offer myself to your
choice as one of its most strenuous advocates ; and whilst
I regret that a more able person, entertaining these views,
has not been found to solicit your suffrages, I can sin-
cerely assure you that no man can be more anxious than
I am to witness the speedy success of this great cause.
I have the honour to be,
Your faithful servant,
WI LLIAM BROWN.

TAND H. SMITH'S FLUID EXTRACT OF
. SENNA, prepared in Vacuo. sold in Bottles at
2s. 6d., 55., and 10s. each.
This is a pure Extract of Senna, in a high state of
perfection, prepared in Vacuo. It is an efficient and
easy purgative, in small doses ; those for adults evert seldom exceeding one or two teaspoonfults, and produces
no sickness or griping in its operation. Not only are the
nauseous taste and smell corrected, but the taste is ten-
dered positively agreeable and inviting; conseqnently,
with this preparation, the difficulty attending the giving of
Senna to children is entirely removed. Instead of the
loathing which the bulky dose of the ordinary Senna Tea
produces, the Fluid Extract of Senna is taken by them
with the greatest readiness, and even with a relish,
The following complimentary testimonial has been ro.
luntarily published by Dr. Ch-ristison, the distinguished
Professor of Materia Medica in the Edinburgh University:
" The Fluid Extract of Senna is now used very largely
in this city, (Edinburgh,) and by many medical 12rac_t2"
tioners, as well as myself, almost to the exclusion of ever.ir

110 USE OF LORDS.—MoNDA.r.

Lord Bnon GlsAxi moved the second reading of the
Criminal Laws Consolidation Bill, the object of which is
to effect a complete digest, not only of the statute laws,
but also of the common law, reducing it to written prin-
ciples, so that the whole might form a certain criminal
code easily understood and easily carried into execution.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject was a most
important one , and upon the propriety of the first part
of the bill—that relating to the consolidation of the sta-
tute law—a doubt could scarcely be entertained. Upon
the second past, however, he felt so much doubt as to in-
duce him to pause. He therefore recommended to his
noble friend to have the bill read a second time that night,
and thus to pledge their lordships to the principle of his
measure, after which he ought to take no further step this
session, but to give time for inquiry and re-introduce it
in the next session of Parliament. In the meantime the
government would take up the matter in conjunction with
his noble friend, and every effort would then be made to
render the measure as effective as possible. It might
also be adviseable immediately to repeal a number of dor-
mant statutes, the revival of which might lead to incon-
venience.

Lords Dc:;MAM and CAMPBELL concurred in the pro-
priety of this course of proceeding.
Lord BROUGHAM assented, and the bill was read a
second time. Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnAy.

Mr. M. 11111NEs resumed the adjourned debate on the
Factory Bill, designating the labour for long hours as the
white slavery of this country, and contending that we
should be ready to make as great sacrifices to check it as
we bad done already for the emancipation of the slaves in
our colonies.

Mr. WARD said, as it had been shown, that the factory
labourer was better off than any other class of workpeo-
ple, there was no pretence of any interference with them.
By the adoption of the principles of free trade, he felt
confident they would cause the demand for the ten-hours
limitation of labour to cease altogether.
Mr. WGEACRY said the operatives were of opinion
that the additional wages paid for the long hours went
into the pocket of the doctor and not into their own, and
that they were willing to submit to a restriction of wages
for the sake of mental improvement and recreation.
Mr. BRIGHT opposed the motion, contending that Lord
Ashley was proceeding upon incorrect information, and
that a gross delusion had been practised upon the opera-
tives.

Mr. F. 'SHAW said he had upon all the divisions which
had taken place on this question voted with Lord Ashley,
and he had heard no argument of sufficient weight to in-
duce him to think he was in error in the course he had
pursued. At the hazard, therefore, of breaking up the
government he should-vote for the motion of the noble
lord.

Sir R. PEEL said it might have been wrong on the part
of the Government to limit the hours of labour to twelve
in the day, but that error was no apology for those who
proposed to limit them to ten. The right hon. baronet
entered into a series of calculations, in order to show the
immense mischief which be contended would be effected
by the reduction of the hours of labour from twelve to
ten. • In England, the hours of labour were already con-
siderably less than.in any other country in Europe or the
United States. If the house thought, after all that had
been said, that they should prrsevere to enforce the res-
triction to ten hours, they must do so under other guides,
for he could not conserrt to hold office for the purpose of
carrying out a policy which he believed to be so very in-
jurious (Cheers.)
Lord J. RussELL 'thought it not right to mix up this
great question with a ministerial question of confidence,
for there was an end to argument if it was converted into
such a question in a -house in which the Government must
have so large a majority.
Sir R. INoms and Mr. COLLET addressed the house,
which then divided, and the motion of Lord Ashley was
defeated by a majority of 29.7 to 159.
On the question that the bill do pass the.motion was
agreed to by a majority of 136 to 7.
