before manufactured ; its extraordinary toughness, dura-
bility, and lightness render it applicable to works of the
highest relief, equalling many of the finest productions of
the celebrated carvers in wood of the seventeenth century.
Many Specimens are to be seen, facsimiles of fine old
OAK FRAMES, which, being similar in colour to the
original, cannot be detected by the most experienced eye.

desirous of encouraging the Arts in works of British

from London, with the advantage of being able to
execute all orders with greater facility.
The superiority of the Papier Mache for architectural
purposes, is now so well known and appreciated, that it
would be superfluous here to dwell on its merits. The
fact that many of the finest buildings in London, and

proves that its advantages are acknowledged.
Many beautiful Specimens of ENAMELLED SLATE

TO THE ELECTORS-,07 SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
DY the sudden decease of your late most respected
-LI representative, the Honourable R. BOOTLE WIL.
BRA HAM , the trust committed.to him by you, and fulfilled
through a period of several:years, with untiring assiduity,
has returned into ycur 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 importauce, and of the vast interests
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 you upon the late
Election, and which were then so strongly expressed that
no apposing Candidate was found on the hustings, may
still prevail, and that my claim to your support may be
allowed to rest on them rather than on any grounds of an
individual character.

ram sincerely attached to our Constitution, and to the
Established Church under which we live, and earnestly
desirous of maintaining the Bights 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, I have no
reason to doubt; hut 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
isindispensable 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
Nlinistry 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 t he 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 chieTtopic 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 Electors as early as possible.
1 am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant.

the ELECTION of

WILLIAM BROWN, Esq.,
Meet Daily at EASTWOOD'S ROYAL HOTEL, Dale-street,

ROBERT E. HARVEY,
Chairman of the Committee.

TO THE LIBERAL ELECTORS OF SOUTH
LANCASHIRE.
THE ELECTORS of this Division of the County in
favour of

WILLIAM BROWN, Esq.,
As the CANDIDATE fur the Representation of SOUTH
LANCASHIRE in Parliament, are requested to MEET
at EAsrwoon's LOYAL HOTEL, Moorfields, Liverpool,
on WEDNESDAY next, the 15th instant, at Two o'clock
in the Afternoon.

ROBERT E. HARVEY,
Chairman of the Provisional Committee.
Eastwood's Royal Hotel, Liverpool,
May 10, 1814.

TO THE ELECTORS OP SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN.
la-
A DEPUTATION of Electors from Manchester, Li-
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 time necessary for your service.
I am, therefore, very fir from arrogating to myself any
claim to your votes on private grounds.
Attached from principle 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 classes.

Upon many subjects of great interest which occupy a
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 ali my life engaged
in commerce, 1 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
FREEDOM 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 Laucashire, 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,
WILLIAM BROWN.

the part of the Shipbuilders to REDUCE the RATE of
JOURNEYMEN'S WAGES, on and after the 13th in-
stant TO 4s. 6d. PER DAY.

For this determination they assign two reasons, namely,
—first, the Great Reduction in the Price of the Necessa-
ries of life; and second, the Ruinously Depressed State
of the Shipping Interest. Emphatically disclaiming any
wish to interfere between Masters and Operatives as to
the proposed Reduction, we yet deem it necessary to pro-
test against the absurd and mischievous fallacy contained
in the first of the pleas assigned; and we assert, and will
prove to you, that there is no connexion whatever between
the Rate of your Wages and the Price of Food.
The Rate of your Wages has not been altered more than
two or three times during the last twelve years, and has
never, at one time, varied more than 6d. per day, which is
equal to 10 or 11 per cent.
What, during the same period, have been the fluctua-
tions in the price of Wheat?
Hardly a year has passed in which the difference be-
tween the highest and lowest prices of the year does not
amount to the same per centage ; the average annual fluc-
tuation during the twelve years having been 8 per cent.
To keep pace with this, your wages should have been
changed 2s. per week at least twice every twelve months.
In 1835, the average price of Wheat was 395. 4d. per
quarter ; in 1839, it had risen to 70s. Bd. per quarter.
Had your wages increased in the same proportion front
4s. 6d. per day in 1835, they would hare swelled in 1839
to Ss. ld. a day.
If, therefore, as you are told, wages ought to vary in
proportion to the price of Food, YOU WERE DE-
FRAUDED, in 1839, OF 3s. Id. PER DAY, AND
YOUR PRESENT WAGES, reckoned in the same way,
instead of being Reduced to 4s. 6d. a day, should stand at
6s. sd.

The first of the pleas adduced in the Advertisement, if
it have any soundness in it, is one, not for reduction but
for increase.

If you are powerless to withstand the threatened reduc-
tion, it is not because of the low price of Food, which, as
it would give you a greater command of the necessaries of
life, would render you more independent of the masters ;
but it is because " the ruinously DEPRESSED STATE
of the Shipping Interest" has taken away your employ-
ment.
This ruinous depression YOU have done your utmost
to produce.
It is for this you have shouted and voted at elections.
You have sent men to Parliament expressly to maintain
laws which areintended to make your Timber as dear as
possible, and to prevent the people from getting as much
as they pant of Corn, and Beef, and Sugar, and Coffee,
&c., from other lands.
What wonder that the ships of other nations are made
cheaper than yours—that yours, when made, should be
unable to find freights—and that now you suffer the pe-
nalty you have brought upon yourselves.
The Shipping Interest is ruinously depressed ! and the
only way to remedy the evil is to repeal the laws which
limit the employment of Shipping.
With FREE TRADE, more Shipping will be em-
ployed ; higher freights will be obtained ; new Ships will
be built, and old ones repaired ; and,
na
will be in better demand and better paid.
.
By order of the Council of the Ants-Monopoly
finally, your labour
Association,
CHARLES EDW. RAWLINS, Jun.,
Honorary Secretary.

Imperial Varliament.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MosDAY.

Lord MoNrEAGLEgave notice that he would move, on
Thursday next, for a committee to inquire into the effect
of protective duties on British commerce.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE again brought under the
consideration of the house theappointment of Mr. O'Brien
as a stipendiary magistrate in Ireland, which was, he con-
sidered, in every possible view most unjustifiable. The
noble marquis moved a resolution to the effect that theap-
pointment was injudicious, and not calculated to maintain
confidence in the impartial administration of justice.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that tha motion was in effect
a charge against the Lord Lieutenant and the Govern-
went, and he rose to meet it boldly, by stating that the
Government wished to show those who joined with the
Repeal Association, how thoroughly it disapproved of
their proceedings by extending favour to a person who had
abandoned the erroneous course he had previously pur-
sued. He defended this appointment, which, as far as
the Irish Government had the means of judging, was a
proper one ; and he should, therefore, meet the motion
with a direct negative.
Lord BROUGHAM did not think that any very strong
case had been made out by the Marquis of Clanriearde,
though he admitted the language used by Mr. O'Brien
was very unjustifiable in his abuse of Mr. O'Connell,
which was, however, to be palliated by the recollection of
the school in which he had been previously educated—
that of Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association.
The motion was negatived without a division.
