ST. PAUL'S WARD

The contest in this ward, last November, having been a
most triumphant one for the Conservative cause, Mr. Ed-
wards being returned by a majority of 44 over his opponent,
the Conservative party were from the commencement of the
canvass tolerably sanguine of success. Their candidate was
Mr. John Caton Thompson, a gentleman of the legal pro-
fession, well known in the ward, and of sound constitutional
principles. His opponent was Mr. Deakin, a coal-dealer,
carrying on business in the ward ; and, from his local influ-
ence, supposed by his party to have every chance in his
favor. The polling commenced at nine o'clock with great
spirit, the Conservative taking the lead and increasing it
steadily, the numbers polled being, at

EXCHANGE WARD

It is somewhat singular that, after obtaining a majority of
30 in this ward at the last election, the radicals should have
yielded it to their opponents without a struggle. _ At the

Contest in 1840 M

turned by a majority of 31

_
over Mr. Ottiwell Wood ; and we remember hazarding an
opinion with reference to the contest last year, that there must
have been a slight want of generalship on our part, or Mr.
Henry Holmes would not have been returned for a ward
which, as in every instance where property and intelligence
are concentrated, is invulnerably conservative. It may be
remembered, however, that at the last election a considerable
number of votes was placed on the register by the Protector
Society—votes which were only placed there through the
money of an illegal body; but at this period of commercial
distress we presume that the " sinews of war" were not so
plentiful, and that we have, therefore, had no fight with the
mere elite of whiggism, which has proved, as usual, a mere
shadow. The representative of conservatism in this ward
has served, in connection with the facts we have stated, to
terrify our opponents, and compel them to relinquish the
field and allow us to walk over the course, though one of
their pet candidates had to retire to enable us to do so. The
number of votes polled for Mr. John North during the first
hour was 67, and no vote being offered for any other candi-
date within the prescribed time, he was declared duly elected.
We observed that the question, " For whom do you vote ?"
was put to each elector as he tendered his voting paper to the
radical alderman for this ward ; and as we did not notice that
it was asked at several of the other booths, we fancy it was
not necessary, and we hope it was not a scheme adopted for
delay. We are not aware that the municipal act requires it ;
and .if not, it merely delays the voting unnecessarily, and
might be of consequence in a ward where the polling is almost
neck and neck.

SCOTLAND WARD,

In this ward there being no opposition to the Conservative
candidate, Mr. Richard Houghton walked the course. The
poll, in Burlington-street, was kept open for an hour, during
which a number of votes was formally recorded for that gen-
tleman. It was anticipated that Mr. Houghton would ad-
dress the electors at Mrs. Barton's, (his committee-room,)
but we regret to learn, that in consequence of indisposition,
he was confined vvithin doors in Cheshire.

VAUXHALL WARD

Thomas Case, Esq., coal merchant, was the conservative
candidate, and Mr. Blackburn, surgeon, the radical. There
was but little excitement in the early part of the day, but to-
wards noon a brisker interest was manifested, and the voters
occasionally came np in considerable numbers on both sides.
Mr. Blackburn took the lead at starting, and continued to
gain considerably on his antagonist until about 11 o'clock,
his partizans evidently making a violent struggle to maintain
their vantage ground. After that hour, however, he being
then 19 a-head, out of 73 votes, Mr. Case gained rapidly
upon him, and reduced that majority by twelve o'clock to 14,
and this to all appearance gave indication of a severe contest.
The numbers polled at noon were in all only 130, so that by
active exertions, Mr. Case's friends bad still ample materials
with which to overtake and distance their opponent. It may
be remarked that Vauxhall is one of the most radical wards
in the town, the proportion of Roman Catholics (chiefly la-
bourers) being comparatively great. At the last election, the
conservatives did not contest the ward at all, on this account,
coupled with the fact (the legal result of which was then ques-
tionable) that many of the voters had had their rates paid by
the Protector Society. They moreover scorned, as the radi-
cals this day have done in several instances, then and now,
to nominate as candidates mere men of straw, who had no
earthly chance of success, and who were put forward merely
to create a frivolous and vexatious opposition.

After 12 o'clock Mr. Case continued to go on progressing,
and the probability is that he would have been successful,
had the voters been left throughout to their own free-will
and no dishonourable practices been resorted to. At about
half-past one, a body of Irish radicals, (24 in number,) in
the employ of a radical soap-maker, came up to the poll, and
reduced the chances in Mr. Case's favour so much that at
that late period of the day, they could not be redeemed. The
result, however, considering all the circumstances, affords
no :great triumph to the radical cause ; and there can be
little doubt tnat the ward will in the next election to a va-
cant seat in the council return a conservative.

SOUTH TOXTETH WARD

South Toxteth Ward was severely contested last year by
Mr. Simon Lee Trotman, and Mr. W. Tayleure. The re-
tiring member on that occasion was a radical surgeon, who
had no claim on the ward either from station or talent, and
when Mr. Tayleur proposed to step in his shoes the contest
became not a personal one but one of principle. The bur-
gesses returned Mr. Trotman by a majority of no less than
44, thus placing themselves beyond all suspicion of whiggery
and radicalism. On the present occasion Mr. Ambrose Lace,
a staunch and consistent supporter of conservatism, was re-
quested by them to allow himself to be put in nomination ;
and his ready assent being obtained, the support he met
with was so unanimous as to tender opposition fruitless.
The liberals, however, did not abandon the field without a
contest, for at the eleventh hour they prevailed upon Mr.
Francis Jordan, the retiring member, who had publicly stated
in the Council his intentions of retiring, to come forward
again. This was a ruse of no reputable character, but hap-
pily it failed.
As appears from our tabular statement elsewhere, Mr. Jor-
dan had not the slightest chance of success from the commence-
ment. It was an unhappy hour for his reputation in which
he was induced by ill-advising friends to break his word.
The polling throughout the day, although at times not
without animation, was, generally speaking, languid ; and at
three o'clock the numbers stood as follows, showing a majority,
for constitutional principles which could not be gainsayed.

We will now give a detail of all the occurrences of interest
which took place during the day in the respective wards:—

EVE RTON WARD

In this ward Mr. Francis Shand, who has resided for many
years in Evertor), who is moreover an extensive ship-owner,
and, we may add, one of our " merchant princes," met with
no opposition—the reformers and their Quayle, having before,
after long, onlhis part, vexatious litigation, been obliged " to
quail" to the Court of Queen's Bench, who declared the
present candidate duly elected. The poll, at Mr. Halliday's,
Everton Coffee House, was kept open a little beyond an hour,
and no opponent appearing it was then closed, and the frame-

work of the polling-place outside was immediate
A number of voters gave their suffrages within the 1
Mr. Shand ; as a matter of form, and at the close that gen-
tleman made a short and feeling address to those around him,
thanking them for the honour they had done him, and assur-
ing them that be should endeavour to repay the confidence
reposed in him by the ward, by devoting his utmost abilities
to the interests of all belonging to it in the common -council.

CASTLE STREET.

In this ward, as we anticipated, the contest has been a
keen one. Never on any previous occasion have the conser-
vatives introduced a candidate with any very sanguine pros-
pect of success, but this year, notwithstanding the most
popular man of the party, Mr. Hugh Hornby, was pitted
against us, we entered upon the conflict with pretty confident
hopes of storming this hitherto impregnable radical fortress.
Mr. John Holmes was returned at the last election without
any opposition on the part of the conservatives, as the state
of (the registry, and the results of previous elections, did not
appear to justify it. Mr. Glazebrook was the representative
of the conservative interest ; and his staunch Church of
England principles and well known respectability, presented
him an opponent whom it required all the efforts which ra-
dicalism could bring together effectually to oppose. We
wish every contest in the town had been conducted with the
same gentlemanly conduct and kind feeling that have charac-
terised, as far as we are aware, this sharply fought conflict;
but we are sorry to say that the meanness and malignity dis-
played in many other districts of the town forbid us making
the concession. At the close of the first hour's polling, the
numbers were, for-

TO CORRESPONDENTS

In consequence of an accident occurring at the moment of
going to press, we have been compelled to miss the first
post.
We are sorry to decline the communication of our intelligent
correspondent, " S. K.," but for reasons which we need
not enter into are compelled to do so. The manuscript is
at his service.
The " infidel placard" of which our correspondent complains
is not a socialist production, but proceeds from a forge
which " Indignans" would not suspect, but which the size
and colour of the placards fully prove to us—Verbum sat.
The Albion of yesterday expresses its surprise that " Mr.
Stone, the superintendent of the Corporation Schools, at
tended, and spoke at the meeting of Mr. Houghton's
friends in Scotland Ward last week." Perhaps our con-
temporary's surprise will be diminished when he learns
that the gentleman referred to did no such thing. It was
Mr. Stone, of Everton, and not " Mr. Stone, the superin-
tendent," &c., who attended the meeting in question.

It will be seen from this statement, that the conservatives
succeeded at the last election in returning thirteen members
to the Town Council, out of sixteen wards, whilst their op-
ponents were only able to elect three to represent them, and
two of these they were allowed to return without any oppo-
sition being offered by the conservatives. This result was
achieved, not through any momentary excitement, but
through the gradual returning pod sense of the people, as
will be abundantly proved by au examination and comparison
of the •arious elections, as well as by a remembrance of the
effect produced in the public mind by the reckless condnct
and unprincipled neglect of duty on the part of the boasting
reformers after their elevation to-power. It will be recollected,
that at the first election after the passing of the Municipal
Reform Bill, a mere fraction of the successful candidates con-
sisted of conservatives, and in 1837 twelve radical councillors,
and only four conservatives were elected, and the radical gross
majority was 146 out of 6040 .electors polled. In the follow-
ing year, their returns were slightly more favourable to the
onstitutional interests, but in 1839, the tide which has since
IPd on to fortune " " set in," and nine conservatives and
`ieal councillors were elected (a vacancy having oc-
v death), and the former had a majority on the
gross pod of 194 voters (one ward not being contested). In
1840, when each ward experienced a contest, the radicals
only gained four wards out of the sixteen, and the conser-
vatives had a total majority of 199 out of 6619 electors who
recorded their votes. We have already noticed some of
the results of last year, and we need only say further in this
place, with reference to it that whilst the total number of
electors polled at that period amounted to 8052, the conser-
vative total majority was 556. One or two reminiscencies
connected with the last named important contest are worth
recording.. In 1840, for Pitt-street Ward, Mr. Toulmin was
majority of 1 over Mr. Rathbone, whilst in
nail obtained the decisive majority of
popular man, Mr. Hugh Hornby. In

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OcT. 28

The demand for cotton to-day is a full average one, but in
the lower descriptions of American from 44c1. to 4id. The
market is barely supplied, and buyers have some difficulty in
purchasing exactly to their mind. The sales of the week
amount to 27,860 bales, of which 10,000 are on speculation,
leaving but a partial weekly supply for the trade.

COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER 31.
Our Cotton market has assumed a more animated appearance
for the last few da) s. On Saturday the sales amounted to 4500
bales, and to-day about the same quantity, at the full prices of last
week, with a steady market. The acounts from the 'States has had
no direct influence in the market, and the business transacted to
day is much on a par with that of Saturday.

At the close of the first hour the polling was as follows .0—

10 O'CLOCK

James Plumpton, Esq., Conservative
John Smith, Esq., Nondescript

Majorit

From this time the only anxiety of the conservative party
became how to make sure that the duplicate voters of the
ward reserved their votes for other parts of the town, where
they were more wanted, so eager did all appear to record
their votes against the renegade candidate upon this occa-
sion. It was surprising and cheering to see the eagerness
with which Conservatives, of high and low degree, presented
themselves, unsolicited, to the poll ; and we imagine that if
Mr. John Smith could have anticipated half the enthosiasm
which existed on the part of men, once his friends, to place
him in an annihilating minority, he would never for a mo-
ment have dreamt of presenting himself before the Conser-
vative electors. Perhaps something of shame penetrated his
obdurate mind after the first two hours, for instead of ob-
truding himself continually amongst the Conservatives out-
side the polling booth, he at length insconced himself inside,
musing, no doubt, upon his fast approaching defeat.
At one o'clock Plumpton was 47 a-head of his opponent-
-221 electors having polled out of a constituency of 497, leav-
ing 276 yet to vote. A number of these being duplicates,
were, therefore, expected to poll for other wards, and many
declared their determination not to vote at all. It was not
anticipated that more than 70 or 80 more would poll in West
Derby.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 31

The small quantity of fine Butter in this market commands a
very high price, as much as 955. being to be had for Belfast, Carlow.
&c. Other kinds are also in continued brisk request, at upward
rates, speculators being on the qui vice. Louden is fully as high,
notwithstanding a most abundant import of Irish ; and from pre-
sent prospects, the season is likely to pass over without any im-
portant reaction. Operations in Irish provisions are of a very
contracted nature, and but few wholesale transactions are heard of
in Foreign. Of the latter, what is at present in the market is prin-
cipally of an inferior quality, and it is attempted to force it off at
very low prices among the manufacturing population. Bacon 4 is.
to 475., and steady.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 29.
A somewhat firmer feeling has characterised the trade during
the week, and we have had a fair demand for all articles for con-
sumption at fully last week's rates.
At the Liverpool and Wakefield markets yesterday a fair extent
of business was done at rather higher prices.
Our market to-day participates in this improved feeling, which,
however, is not sufficiently active to lead to any speculative
transactions, of moment ; the business doing in Wheat being for
consumption only, at an advance of about 2d per bushel. Flour is
in fair request and the turn dearer. The shortness of supply of
Oats and Oatmeal has enabled holders to obtain an advance of 2d
per bushel on the former, and Is per load on the latter, which,
however, is complied with in such limited purchases only as are
induced by present necessities. Old Malt very dull of sale;
scurcely any new offering. Beans as last quoted.

reverent, but consequently a less dangerous, perversion than
that of the Doctor. The violence offered to the word of
God was in both cases the same in kind, and is a palpable
" handling of the word of God deceitfully." lam far from
imputing such wilful dishonesty to Dr. Hook, whose ex-
emplary activity I am ready to acknowledge ; but I state a
fact, and as a lover of Scriptural truth I protest against it ;
since the more eminent his station, the more dangerous his
example.

As for Mr. Sherlock, had he used the words merely, with-
out marking them as a quotation from Scripture (which they
are not)—had he even been original, and not a plagiarist, in

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,

-- • ---- - -
OCTOBER 31, 1842.
We have had a moderate arrival both from the Isle of Man and
Scotland during the last two days. To-day there has been a brisk
retail demand at the quays from our town dealers, at fully 2d. to 3d.
advance over our late currency. The country buyers still continue
to remain inactive.
The best description of Manx and Scotch Cups, now realizing
ls. sd. to Is. 6d. per 90 lbs. Our neighbouring farmers have been
pretty liberal sellers of all descriptions of produce, with the excep-
tion of Potatoes, of which we have only had a scanty supply, which
has had the effect of enhancing the value of those exhibited in our
local market, as well as the quantity in dock.
