The Liberals have carried. Liverpool by a majority of 309,

the vote for Mr. S. Smith having been 18,198, against 17,889 for Mr. Forwood. We have said enough of this event elsewhere, but may add here that the N ote, though apparently light, was really not so. Quite 10,000 voters on the Register could not vote, and the local calculators think that 40,000 would be a very heavy poll.
