APPLICATIONS FOR SHARES.

The Mining Journal of Saturday contains the following
exposure of a system which has been discovered in the
applications of certain parties for shares in the various
railway projects now before the public. A plan, says ear
contemporary, which has of late become general, is that of
writing in false names, with addresses to Liverpool,
Birmingham, Bristol, Plymouth, or any other town, for
shares to be allotted, without any particular address
being given ; and in many instances shares are appro-
priated, on the assumption that Mr. Tomkins, of Liver-
pool, or Mr. Brown, of Bristol, must be highly-respectable
men, as they deem it unnecessary to give any other than
a general address. Let us see how far this assumption is
correct. Mr. Tomkins or Mr. Brown communicates
with the Post-office at Liverpool or Bristol, and direct
that any letters addressed to them shall be forwarded,to
their private address in London—say, Star-alley, or Five
court, St. Giles's—and thus the allocation letter COs
back to London. This is one case.—Now proceed we of
another. A letter of application of the Rev.
Balham Hill, is addressed to a company. An agent
appointed to ascertain the respectability of the party,
abet
on enquiry of the postmen of the district, is informed
the letters addressed to the Reverend gentleman are to
be forwarded to Cottage, Wandsworth-road. Tbde
party making the enquiry proceeds to the place name '
and finds that Cottage is a cigar shop, and tbs
proprietor is the Rev. —.
It must be understood that we speak alone of care
coming under our own knowledge. Again, a letter apply".
ing for shares is said to come from " A. 8.,"
of a cer-
tain street in —. "A. B." is known as a
respectable man, and the shares are appropriated, bu
the letter never reaches his hands—indeed, he is ignorant
of any application in his name, and, moreover, the ,i
dress is incorrect. The letter, however, is secure„
by the party who has thus forged the name, ,'t
being taken from the postman. Another case is We
of letters being addressed to certain parties, and the
address being altered by means of a chemical Pre;
cess, and another substituted—thus avoiding ilia
responsibility incurred of signing the deed, will
the premium on the shares is secured. A further ot!ei
and that of the most vital importance, as connected sot
our commercial relations, and the Post-office authorities!
is, that applications for shares are made, and the letters Id
reply, in too many instances, are, by an understandio:
between certain parties, placed in other quarters tha
those for whom they are designed.
the
We have said sufficient to put those interested in - d
formation of companies on their guard ' • and we have o°o
grounds for stating, as relates to the latter case, that
representation will be made to her Majesty's Postmaste`. ~
General.

still in the hands of the direction, and may be ad-
vanced, or sacrificed, according to the extent to
which they prepare themselves to carry out those
improvements of which their important Line is ao
capable, and, we may add,'so greatly in need ' • and
here we may address to them a few words of advice
—of complaint indeed—suggested by that portion
of Mr. Moss's speech which points to the proposed
future proceedings of the Company. Mr. Moss al-
ludes to improvements to be made in the Company's
stations. We have heard too of projects for short-
ening the Line from near Warrington to Liverpool,
by which, the outrageously large angle, at present
seen upon the map of this line, *ill, to some extent,
be cut off. But really, and seriously, we must tell
the Board that, such alterations as we have heard are
in projection will not satisfy, and ought not to
satisfy, the public. The Company must do some-
thing on a more extended scale. They must not
hope to be permitted to drag their traffic some miles
round to a junction with the Liverpool and Man-
chester at Huyton or Rainhill, for the sake of saving
the cost of an independent station. Both stations
of the Liverpool and Manchester Line are already
incompetent enough for the accommodation of its
own legitimate business; and when so great a dis-
tance can be saved by the Grand Junction, by a di-
rect line from near Runcorn Gap to the south end
of the tc,wn, the expense of a separate station and
tunnel ought not to he an object of consideration,
with a Company so wealthy and prosperous as this
has ever been, and is at the present moment. In
such an effort the public and the legislature would
recognize a bona-fide desire on the part of the Com-
pany to make the best use of the extensive means
at their disposal; and without such an effort we are
satisfied that the encroachments of rival undertak-
ings must go on and become, at no distant date,
seriously damaging to their interests.
We have made these remarks with all good feel-
ing towards those of our fellow-townsmen, and others
who are embarked in this undertaking, and we trust
that they will be taken in the same spirit in which
they are offered. They may be found worthy of
consideration.

CEIURNET VALLEY RAILWAY.

THE SHORTEST ROUTE FROM MANCHES-

TER TO LONDON,
AND

PROM MANCHESTER TO DERBY AND THE
EAST, WITH A BRANCH TO THE
POT7'ERIES.

THE Provisional Committee teel it to he their duty in
the present stage of their proceedings, to announce to
the Sharehaiers that the Deposits have been paid, and
the Subscription Contract executed, to the full amount
required by the Standing Orders of Parliament.
The Committee have also great satisfaction in announc-
ing that in addition to Mr. Buck and Mr. Gravatt, (the
engineers,) they have engaged the professional services of
Mr. Cubit., as Consulting Engineer, who is engaged in a
personal inspection of the whole of the Line. _

The most satisfactory progress his been made with the
Plans, Sarveys, and other preparations for Parliament,
and the Committee think it right to assure the Share-
holders that not a dty will be lost from the commence-
ment of the Session in yresenting the Bill to the Honse of
Commons, and pressing it forward at the earliest period
that the rules of Parliament will allow.

The Chur,rt Valley Railway, by its proposed junction
with the Trent Valley, near Tamworth, will form the
silo. test line which the nature of the country will admit of,
from London to Manchester. Preston, Lancaster, Carlisle,
Gla,gow. and the West of Scotland ; and the Committee
have to inform the Shareholders, that in order to guard
against ibe possibility of being deprived, by any circum-
stance, of the direct communication with the London and
Birmingham Railway, by way of the Trent Valley Line at
Rugby, they have resolved to give the necessary nottces,
and to deposit plans and sections from th, termination of
the Churner Vail, y Railway, near Tamworth, to Rugby,
so .as to in use tt,e means of obtaining in the ensuing ses-
sio❑ the whole of the advantages contemplated by this
important Line of Railway.

hoped they would never be frightened. The day might
come when the Wallasey Estate would come back to the
corporation.

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE thanked Mr. Parker for his
compliments to the Finance Committee, and hoped this
would not be the last time that gentleman would do so in
the council chamber. (Hear, and a laugh,) The land
proposed to be sold to Mr. Wright was on the south side of
Woodside Ferry, and fronted, not to the ricer, but to-
wards Churea-street. He should not be surprised to hear
next week that the same lot had been sold for £5 a yard,
for such was the fever at Birkenhead that there was no
way of accurately estimating the value of the land.
The proceedings were confirmed, and the Birkenhead
Company are to be informed that the council see no rea-
son to alter their previous resolution.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 2.

The aspect of the trade during the week has been healthy.
flour has gone freely into consumption at full prices, and with
increased demand.

For Oats and teal some improvement upon the rate of last
week has been pretty generally realised.
Supplies to Liverpool, partly in consequence of contrary
winds, are limited in extent; and, yesterday, the market was
firm at an advance of Id per 701bs on Wheat; other articles par-
ticipating in the improvement.
At Wakefield, the arrivals are less liberal than of late, and
prices yesterday were fully supported.
At our market this day we have a moderate attendance.
Wheat is saleable at an advance of Id per bushel: for Flour there
is a good inquiry ; and, although our extreme quotations arc
easily realised, yet we cannot succeed in establishing an t.d..
vane Oats are scarce, and command an improvement of Id
to 2d per 451hs.
Meal, both old and new, also sells readily at an advance of 6d
to Is per load. Beans are' is per quarter, and Malt is per load
dearer.

RODNEY-STREET WARD

The contest in this ward was very spirited, the radicals
keeping within a short distatce of their opponents until
three o'clock, when the conservatives came up in goodly
numbers, and returned Mr. John Pemberton, an excel-
lent conservative, by a majority of fifty-one over Mr.
Harvey. The majority in this ward at the last election
was only eighteen, and Mr. Harvey brought to the poll
forty less voters than did Mr. Lassell at the last election,
At the close Mr. Holmes was called upon to address the
assemblage. He said that he had no ordinary gratification
in congratulating the electors on the issue of the contest ;
and he thought it not improbable that almost every ward
which had been contested would return a conservative,
and many of them by no slight mak 4-ities. The ivltig party
had been instrumental in carrying the Reform BM, and it
could not but be mortityieg to them to dief,v, r that, in
fair and open contest, they were signally defeated by the
operation of the very bill, which they expected would
have secured to them a permanency of volitiegpower. As
the contest in Liverpool had generally been conducted
with good humour, and without those personalities which
are always to be lamented and deprecated, he ti tested that
all animosities would be speedily forgotten—that there
might be no undue excitement or triumph over those who,
though defeated, were still their townsmen, and were
anxious, like themselves, for its welfare and prosperity.
It was his great desire that the conservative party, ren-
dered still stronger as it soon would be, by the exchange
of six Whigs for six conservative aldermen. He (Mr.
Holme) hoped that all their deliberations strengthened as
they would be, might conduce to the good government of
the town, and to the prosperity of all its inhabitants. Mr.
Holme then thanked them for the zeal which had been ma-
nifested on the occasion, and concluded by asking them to
give three cheers for the Queen, which were heartily re-
sponded to ; and the assemblage immediately and most
good humouredly dispersed.
Mr. Pemberton also addressed the electors in a feeling
and handsome manner.

THE CORONER'S ACCOUNTS

For the present month, amounting to £62 4s. 2d.,
were referred to the Finance Committee for payment.
Mr. PARKER complained of the sort of persons put on
the coroner's juries, and said they were a set of men who
got Is. 6d. an inquest, and gained a livelihood by lounging
about the office.

Mr. LACE and Sir. T. BRA NCKEIL defended the con-
struction of the juries.

THE VACANT TOWN-CLERKSHIP.

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE announced, that on the 9th of
November the Council would proceed to the election of a
candidate for the vacant Town-clerkship. He hoped that
all considerations with regard to a division of the offices
of Town-clerk, Clerk of the Peace, and Prosecuting So-
licitor, would be postponed to a subsequent meeting of the
Council.
Mr. MoortE entirely differed from Mr. Lawrence on
this subject, and thought it should be sifted in all its
bearings before any appointment took place. It would
be premature to select the Town-clerk without knowing
whether the other two offices were to be consolidated or
separated. He believed a Prosecuting Solicitor to be
essentially necessary.
Mr. BIRKETT and Mr. LACE thought there ought to
be one person and only one.
The conversation dropped. with the understanding that
the Council would be ready to give their opinions upon
the 9th of November, as to the desirability of dividing or
consolidating the offices.
VOTE OF THANKS TO THE MAYOR.
Mr, Nicol. moved the thanks of the Council to the
Mayor, Thomas Sands, Esq., for his very efficient, ur-
bane, kind, and conciliatory conduct in the civic chair
during the past year. The Mayor had entertained Royalty
itself, and other distinguished strangers during his year
of office, and he had done so in a manner that reflected
great credit on the town. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. James LAWRENCE, in seconding the motion, said
he quite concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Nicol.
The motion was carried unanimously..

The MAYOR made an appropriate reply.
e Council separated soon after one o'clock.

DOCK COMMITTEE.-THURSDAY.

At the meeting on Thursday week, it was agreed to let
Messrs. George Forrester and Co. 8300 square yards of
land, at the north end, on a lease of 21 years, at the rate
of ls. per square yard.
At the meeting on Thursday last the following gentle-
men were present :—Messrs. Moore (in the chair), Nicol,
Barclay, Middleton, Holmes, Smith. Royden, Sandbach,
Kendall, Bulley, Evans, Ripley, Aikin, and Tobin.
Memorandums made by Mr. Aikin during a visit on
the Ist and 2d of October, to Kirk Maybrick Granite
Quarry, were read. They contained suggestions as to
the better and more effectual working of the quarry ; but
the subject was deferred till spring, when a deputation of

MANUFACTURED BY JOHN TALL AND CO ,
6, NORTH WALLS, HULL.

VERY
great improvements having been effected in this
Rectified Spirit, it can with confidence be recom-
mended as possessing qualities decidedly superior to any
manufactured. It combines the advantages of cleanliness
and economy, with perfect freedom from smoke or smell ;
and, whilst it imparts a most brilliant light, one lamp
being equal to at least twelve wax candles, the wick does
not require to be cut more than once a week.

The following statement of the analysis of Dr. Ure
affords a complete verification of its excellent properties :
Report of an experimental examination of the Vesta
Lamp Spirits, as Manufactured by Messrs. John Tall
and Co., of Hull. by ANDREW URE, M.D.,
F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry.
" London, 13, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square,
19th September, 184.1.

" These Spirits are the lightest and 'pnrest which I have
ever met with in commerce ; having a specific gravity of
only 0.865 at 62° Fahr., whereas the Spirits of the London
shops have a specific gravity of 0.871 or more; that of
water being 1000.

The comparative lightness of the Spirits indicate their
fine quality. Messrs. Tall's Spirits when distilled have
no residuum, whereas the Spirits generally on Sale leave a
quantity of Rosin. In consequence of the freedom of
Messrs. Tall's Spirits from this and other impurities I
have lighted my drawing-rooms with their flame during
several hours for five evenings successively, without hav-
ing the wick of the lamp trimmed, and without its occa-
sioning the slightest nuisance;

GREAT GEORGE WARD.

With that indecency which seems almost inseparable
from radicalism, the name of Mr. Robertson Gladstone
was put forward in this ward—of course without the
slightest authority--as an opponent of Mr. G. G. Hornby,
the retiring member. There was therefure here no legiti-
mate opposition to the re-election of a conservative. The
number of votes recorded were for Mr. I-lornby 136, for

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET. Nov. I.

The supply of Cattle to-day was very small, but singularly
so of Sheep, the number being only 476 t head. Trade was ex-
ceedingly dull for anything of inferior quality, but prime Ox
and old Southdowns sold pretty readily at 4s per stone. The
coarse qualities of both sold at any price they could get offered.
The inquiry for Veal and Pork was also very dull, and only 4s
was obtainable for the very best quality of either. Without
exception this was the heaviest market of the present year, all
things considered.

WATCH COMM- ITTEE.-THEHEAD CONSTABLE.

From the proceedings of the Watch Committee it ap-
peared that a sub-committee had been appointed to inquire
into the present efficiency of the police force of the bo-
rough. and whether the rules and regulations were carried
out. They stated that the Head Constable, Mr. Miller,
had been guilty of flagrant disobedience of orders in the
following respect :—An application had baen made to
allow a portion of the force to attend at Birkenhead on
Wednesday last, the 23d instant, the day of the stone-
laving; the Head Constable was directed to send fifty
men, with the usual complement of inspectors. Mr. Lay-
cock wished to have the services of the Head Constable
also, but the chairman of the Watch Committee, in the
presence of some of the members, refused the latter appli-
cation, thinking that Mr. Miller would be required to
keep order and regulation in Liverpool, and to superin-
tend the arrangements during the disembarkation in the
evening. But, notwithstanding positive prohibitions, Mr.
Miller thought proper to go over to Birkenhead, and
breakfast with Mr. Laycock, and not to return until three
o'clock in the afternoon; thereby setting an example of
insubordination. The committee then received the report
of the sub-committee, previously appointed, concurred in
opinion as to Mr. Miller's inefficiency, and came to the
resolution that his services be dispensed with, but that he
be allowed to resign forthwith. Thanks were given to
Mr. James Lawrence, the chairman of the committee, for
his exertions to preserve order on the piers during the
night of the 23d instant, and for his valuable assistance
during the past year ; and Mr. Dowling was appointed
pro tern to the head constableship.
Upon the motion of Mr. ASPINALL, seconded by Mr.
THO'INnILL, the proceedings were confirmed without any

COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT.

A fair extent of business has been done this week, bat it was
without spirit; long staple has been sold freely, and at rather
easier rates, from a disposition to press_ sales of Brazil and
Egyptian, which are now quite as low as at any time during the
past year : prices of American and Surar are, if any thing, more
steady during the last two days; speculators have taken 1500
bales of American and 1200 Surat; a..d exporters 209 bales of
American. There is a good demand to-day, and the sales are
about 6000 bales of all kinds : 1130 American, 80 Pernams, 40
Bahias, and E. 20 Swats were forwarded into the country last
month unsold : the sale, of the week exceed in the aggregate
the daily reports 600 , bales.

FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.

(From the " London and Path Ladies' Magazine cf

Fashion." I

The manteaux, bournous, and pelisses, do not differ,
very materially from those of last winter; the autumnal
manteaux of black satin, lined with white silk, bare
sleeves almost concealed by the frills that encircleithe arm-
hole; and surtouts of satin, a la reine, enriched by den-
telle de velours, laid on flat, are very distingue ; they are
of a very comfortable make, almost always with pe/erine,
which is rather pointed than round ; the paletot Grecql,
is made of the same material as the dress it is worn with'
and in make bears some resemblance to the gentleman s
Paletot. Pelisses of velvet are trimmed with fur, which
will will be much used this season, not only on out-door t°:"
Telles, but satin and velvet dresses will be ornamented by
two and three rows of fur. Ermine, for dress, and inere
ten en neg/ige', will be the most in request; the paia,l'fs;
Polonaise, is an improvement on the camail of last wintealt;
and the palatine Busse, is also fashionable, uniting
scarf and pelerine.

The capotes and bonnets of this season, are ra

MORRIS' WOOLLEN WAREHOUSE,
80, LORD-STREET.

TO BUYERS OF WOOLLEN GOODS,

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL.
WE have great pleasure in inviting the attention of
our Friends to our present immense STOCK, as,
from the extensive alterations recently completed in our
Premises, we have been enabled to lay in a much larger
Stock than usual, and though there is a small advance on
some kind of coarse Woollens, we can with the greatest
confidence state that the great bulk of our Stock is as
cheap, if not cheaper, than on any former occasion.
Ever since we commenced Business, twelve years ago, it
has been our invariable rule and practice to keep nothing
but Articles of the best Manufacture, and charge the
smallest possible Profit; this has brought to us a larger
wholesale Trade than was probably ever done in Liver-
pool in WOOLLENS, and the very large and yearly in-
creasing amount of Business we have been doing has suf-
ficiently remunerated us for the smallness of our profits.
To our Friends who have so largely patronised us for so
many years, we tender our warmest thanks, and also in-
form th(m that the large addition to our Premises will
enable us in future to conduct our business with greater
convenience and comfort. We think we may venture to
state, that not only in Liverpool, but in no House in
England, can be found a more extensive or cheaper Stock
of Woollen:Goods.
We take this opportunity to invite particular attention
to our New Styles of Fancy Goods: in TROUSE RINGS
we have every new design in TWEEDS, DOESKINS,
and CASSIMERES—in VESTINGS an elegant and
superior Assortment of both French and British 2lfanu-
facture.

VAUXHALL WARD.

The majority of Mr. Chalmer over Mr. Case at the
last election, we presume, induced the conservatives to
allow Mr. Preston to be returned unopposed. It should
be remembered, however, that Mr. Case only consented
to stand at that time when all hopes of his success were
gone ; and we hope on a future occasion the conservatives
will be prepared for action, as we feel persuaded that a
careful attention to the progress of events in this ward
during the next twelve months would, if not secure a
conservative's return, at least pave the way for success
at a future period.
ST. PAUL'S WARD.

The interest excited amongst the voters in this ward
was by no means great, and the voting went on with com-
paratively little vigour, the conservatives contenting them-
selves with merely securing the election of Mr. Hill, in
opposition to Mr. Stitt, the reform candidate.
