them go on; and we may in time hope to see tile
business of the Corporation conducted in a manner
reputable to the town, instead of being, as under Whig
Management, carried on with as little care and regularity
as men bestow upon the business of a chandler's shop
Ora marine store.

To the inhabitants of Liverpool we say, " Read this
Report. it will enable you to determine your conduct
upon the approaching first of Aovember."

We have pleasure in directing the attention of our
readers to the splendid displays of Conservative feeling
evinced on Wednesday evening in St. Peter's Ward,
and yesterday evening in Castle-street Ward. In the
former ward Mr. Samuel Holme was welcomed by one
0f the- most crowded audiem
to have seen assembled in the

we ever ,remember

.11; and if any

°f the electors present went away, after listening to his
eloquent and appropriate address, dissatisfied with
their candidate, their taste and perceptions cannot be
regarded as entitled to great consideration. On this
occasion, if a question could ever have arisen on the
Bobject, Mr. Holme established most fully his claim
claim to be regarded as one of the most fitting can-
didates who has ever presented himself to solicit a seat
in the Council of Liverpool.
In Castle-street Ward last night, the meeting to
receive Mr. 'l'. T. Glazehrook as a candidate, was of
a Similar character, enthuSiastic throughout. From
the evidence afforded in the speech of that gentleman,
Was full of modesty, good taste and sound con-
stitutional sentiments, we feel convinced that the
electors have reason to be proud of their choice; and
host earnestly we entreat of them to be alive and

'arnest in their efforts to wrest this hitherto whip
fortress from the hands of our opponents..

tt. THE ROYAL.—A fairy extravaganza, founded upon
rold nursery tale of 4. Beauty and the Beast," was pro-
tsed on Monday evening last, and has been represented
yeerY evening with increasing success. It is decidedly the
ais,t tiling of the kind we have seen ; it is well got up, the
singue is humorous, and the parodies appropriate to the
actionfirs, The scenery is all new and very beautifulthe
scene, " the House of Roses," the stage is one coin-
tlete mass of that 4. delicate flower." Some very cleverly-
„arlaged dioramie effects take place, in which a desolate
,1,10, scene is changed imperceptibly to a summer garden.
;„ e changes and transformations are quickly done, and very
:11geenious. Miss Gardner looks, plays, and sings Beauty to
sh life; her " Get along Rosy" has been nightly encored—
llingS it with much archness and vivacity. Mr. Shrivall,
t e"to also acquits himself well. Mr. Shrivall is the best
ock singer we have ever had here. He is 50 per cent.
better than Mr. Travers, and is far more pleasing than
stud Grge Horneastle. He will some day take a high
in his profession, Mr. Addison, the gentleman who
steps. into Mr. Baker's vacant place, appears likely to prove
ajravourite, he seems talented, and has a good voice. • His
Aldgate Pump was done with considerable drollery.
Qui.i/VV• J. Hammond afforded much amusement as John
an ex-clerk. Mrs. Barton looked very pretty, and
sweetly, as Marrygolda, the sister of Beauty, and Mrs. •
tarrovveliffe did her best as Dressalinda. Monsieur and
adatne Smidt dance a pas de deux in the course of the
'extravaganza.; Mr. Aldridge makes an appearance also,
,4ing " from his place in the house" the second with Miss
..`lardner in " All's Well ;" this causes great amusement from
`ll,e oddity of the proceeding. A farcical imitation of the
3'eeP-walking scene in Sonnambula creates great laughter.
Vtogether, this affair is a very amusing one, and ought to
minds
thousands, if any theatrical curiosity exists in the
",urlds of the public, and taking place at half price, must
hilit both time and pocket.
stiVfa • STunas's MILITARY BAND.—On Tuesday last, Mr.
the
and the " Royal Harmonic Band," of which he is
talented leader, celebrated the close of the grand gala
„sesaon at the Zoological Gardens, at which they had been
r'Tgaged throughout the summer tam by a dinner, to which
'invited a number of gentlemen, chiefly the friends or
patrons of the musical art, who had witnessed the growing
4/_)noi.ency and superior attainments of their entertainers.
tir dinner was given at Mr. Stubbs's own house—the Crane
hands,
and whether as regards the quantity or quality of the
or the manner in which they were served up, was
ft„g°l3l creditable to the judgment and good taste of mine
aubt and hostess. Mr. Stubbs ably presided. The
s'ee..ssert, the wines and other liquors, were also choice, and
ti:erY one enjoyed himself to the top of his bent. The
Rnal loyal toasts being disposed of, the health of Mr.
a"•nbbs and his co-mates was given, with all the accustomed
nod musical honours. Mr. Stubbs replied in a happy strain,
ior°,_Pionenting his men rather than himself, and urging them
Cold and work together as the sure means of attaining
at. Perfection which was, he felt assured, their highest
He remarked to their credit that most of them
here hard-working tradesmen, wholly devoting their leisure
o;urs to musical pursuits, but might yet rival any band out
10 the metropolis. The healths of other gentlemen fol-
wrt,ed. also with musical honours, and were responded to
Atkins Li that eloquence which good fellowship and enthusiasm
fail to supply. In the unavoidable absence of Mr.
44 Z, proprietor of the Zoological Gardens, Mr. Isaacson,
b .uls representative, was a welcome guest; and on his health
11°g drunk in connection with that interesting and admira-
i2'conducted establishment, he returned thanks in a very
rtu4liressive manner, stating it as the opinion of his principal
g'ufatnily, as well as his own, thavo band had ever before

ltdlsition to enliven the galas of next year. As the evening
tieneed the whole band played a number of choice pieces
