V ----- - - A T a numerous and highiy-resvectable M , ';ETING of the INHABITANTS of the TOWN and NEIGHBOUR HOOD of LIVERPOOL, convened by Public Advertisement, in Compliance with a Requisition, by the Worshipful the e MAYOR, int he SkssioNs-ii Ouse. in Chapel-street, on the 25 th February, 1836, to Consider the Propriety I .: ~ ddressing both Houses of Parliament, Plaviug for a Rep • of the Tax upon Newspapers and all other 'faxes upon Kn i ledge, W ILLIAM WA L LACE CURRIE, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair; It was moved by SAMUEL Hoek:, Esq., seconded by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., and Resolved unanimously,—That the unrestricted knowledge of human affairs, by convincing a People of the advantage of good Laws and Institiitious, forms the best security for public order and morality. It was , moved by JAMES BRANCKER, Esq., seconded by the Rev. JAMES MARTINEAU, and Resolved,—'That as the Press is the great Instrument of Civi lization, the Stamp . Huty en Newspapers is peculiarly objec tionable, since, if it is enforced, it excludes the great body of the industrious classes from social and political knowledge, and, if it is evaded, renders the instructors of the • people violators of the law. It was moved by La wItt.:NCE HEY WORTH, Esq., seconded by JOSEPH C. EWART, Esq., and Resolved unanimously,—That in proportion as the people of these realms are called upon to discharge electoral-and other political duties, it is importan t that they should enjoy the amplest means of forming a sound and independent judgment on all questions affecting the well-being of society. It was moved by WILLLIA M RaTinioNE, Esq., s econded by WILLIAM STUART, Esq., and Resolm4 unanimously,—That it appears to this meeting in-• consistent in the Legislature to give annually £20,000 for the Diffusion of -Knowledge, and to receive a Million by .Taxes directly tending to its restriction. It was moved by CitaisToenEtt Raw Do's, Esq.; seconded. by.. JAMES Mut.t.oti, "Esq., and . • Resolved unanimously , — That no e xisting interest of capitalists, and no fiscal considerations ought to prevent the total and itn-: mediate Abolition of the Newspaper Stamp Duty, since the smallest amount to , khich it can be reduced would retain many of its evils and require the whole of the present machinery for its collection, and if retrenchment to the full amount of the tax should be impracticable, an impost might easily be substituted which should not make the revenue of the state minister to the ignorance of the people. It was moved by HENRY BOOTH, Esq., seconded by JAMES MCLLENEUX, Esq., and Resolved unanimously,—That the Petitions to both Houses of Parliament now read be adopted, and that the same be laid at the usual ulaces for Signature; and that the Petition to the House of Lords be transmitted to the Earls of Derby and Sef ton, and the Petition to the House of Commons to the Members for the Borough, for Presentation ; and that the Members for the Southern Division of the County, and our Townsman, Thos. Thornely, Esq., M.P. for Wolverhampton, be requested to support the Prayer in the Ilt-use of Commons; and that the Proceedings of this Meeting be Advertised once in each of the Liverpool Newspapers. It was moved by THOMAS Sauna, Esq., seconded by JAMES RY LEY, Jun., Esq., and Resolved unanimously,,—That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the_ Requisitionifts. W. WALLACE CURRIE, Mayo'. The Mayor having left the Chair, It was moved by EGERTON SMITH, Esq., seconded by EDWD. WI r.c►tetc, Esq., and RaoLed unanimously, —That the cordial Thanks of this Meet ing be given to His Worship the Mayor for the readiness with which he acceded to the wish of the Requisitionists, and for the courtesy with which he has presided. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of Liverpool in Public Meeting assembled, SHOWETH,—That in the opinion of your Petitioners the dif fusion of knowledge and the general spread of intelligence have a direct tendency to improve the moral and social character of the People. That in a free State, where a large proportion of the Inhabi tants are invested with political functions, the discreet exercise of which is essential to the healthful constitution of a Represen tive Government, it is peculiarly important that every facil all ity should be afforded for obtaining the fullest information ou Questions of National Interest. That it is the bounden duty of the Ministers of Government, if they are unprepared to carry into effect a System of National Education, at least not to impede the Progress of Knowledge, nor to place difficulties in the way of the People educating themselves. That the Tax on Newspapers (the most convenient vehicle of general intelligence) having the effect of doubling their price to the purchaser prevents the People obtaining that information on a variety of subjects political, social, and judicial, which, as citizens of a free state, it is for the wellbeing of the state that they should possess ' • and that such tax more over o p erates as a premium to the venders of unstamped, and therefore cheap but illegal publications, which, besides supplying very imperfectly the information sought for, produces an injurious moral taint, by familiarising both buyer and seller with an habitual and known violation of the law. That the revenue, hitherto derived from the tax complained of, may be provided for either by economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure, or by some other tax which shall not be liable to the two-fold objection ; —that is not only a pecuniary grievance, but a check to the social and intellectual improve ment of the people. Your Petitioners therefore pray that your Honourable House, taking the premises into your consideration, will remit alto gether the impolitic and obnoxious Tax on Newspapers. And your Petitioners will ever pray YORK AND NORTH OF ENGLAND ASSURANCE COMPANY. HE Directors of this Association hav in g had theirattention Xcalled to a Memorial, presented to the Council of the Bo rough of Liverpool, from certain Fire Insurance Companies, whose names are thereunto appended, feel it due t. themselves to make some observations upon a document, whic is calculated, by implication, to throw discreditupon the Cu any with which the are connected. The Directors are quite content to leave to the inhabitants of Liverpool, to decide, without comment 'Om them, upon the justice of the charges brought bv 'the M:' orialists against the civil authorities for having failed to a. ipt "such measures of recaution for extinguishing fires , as w • e so lon g expected from their patriotism and foresight"—" f. not having yet taken sufficient measures for a supply of et"—and for not having obtained au Act "to give the powe • f recovery of the expenses of extinguishing a fire against the p .prietors of the property on tire, and that immediately endangered." They also leave it to the same tribunal to decide upon the fidelity with which the effects of the late awful conflagration at New York have been so pal hetically described by the Memorialists, and the extraoi di nary accuracy of the statement, that the space devastated by that appalling calamity was "quite as large and well built as the warehouse district of Liverpool."—The Merchants of Liverpool will not fail to perceive that one great object of these Memorial ists is to prove that the premiums demanded by them are not greater than the risks fairly deserve • and, consequently, that the call, whieb has been so long and loudly made fur reduction, is unreasonable, and cannot be complied with. The Directors of this Association feel, however, that these Memorialists have a second object in view—not quite so obvious perhaps, but equally important to them if a conviction of it` truth could be forced upon the Mercantile Community of Liver pool;—they say, "The Premiums now charged are inadequate to meet an extensive conflagration in t he warehouse diateict." The cautious mode of expression in this paragraph is worthy of notice. They do not say " inadequate to meet the losses of past years," nor "the probable losses of those to come, on the aver age," but •‘ an extensive conflagration." This may mean the destruction of one-third, one-half, or the whole of the ware houses in Liverpool, with their contents, amounting to a sum which twice the present premiums would not make good in fifth years. The inference which, doubtless, it is hoped the public will draw is this, that if the premiums charged by the Mentos rialists are inadequate, an office doing business at lower rates must be doing so to a certain loss, and therefore must be unsafe, and unfit to be trusted. To repel this unjust and unwortqy in sinuation, the Directors submit the following brief statement to the Merchants of Liverpool. The Memorial in question is signed on behalf of sixteen Insur ance Companies, of whom fourteen are London and two country offices. Of the fourteen London offices, two, with singular modesty, have signed it who have no agent in Liverpool ; of the remaining twelve, only four had agents in Liverpool prior to 1803. There are now thirty-five agents in Liverpool, repre senting twenty-two offices, of whom eighteen have been esta blished in or since the year 1803—most of them at a mnrh more recent period—and they are now publicly challenged to disprove, by a candid statement of their receipts from, and payments to Liverpool, since 1803 to the latest quarter-day, the assertion which is hereby made, that three-fourths of the premiums now demanded by the London offices, if paid during the whele of that period, would have been sufficient to meet every claim, and to leave a handsome profit to the offices. The Directors hope, that, upon this subject, the public will bear in mind the fact, that of those offices who are parties to the Memorial, several have, within the last two years, advertisCd returns of part of their profits to parties assured for five years, the average premium for that period being upwards of 20 per cent. less than that which they now declare to be inadequate - It intsrelessise desirable -to refer to the Circular issued by the London offices in February, 1833, the principal palliest° which were the present Memorialists- That circular announced the . combination of those from whom it emanated to raise the Pre miums from 7s. to 12s. per cent. on Floating Risks ; but it also stated that, so soon as the town shall be more amply sup plied with water, and an efficient Fire Police Establishment provided at the public expense, the rates then determined on should be revised. It is believed that these points have been fully attended to—it is certain that less fires in proportion have occurred since the date of the circular—yet these high rates are persisted in, while the only reason (according to that circular) for their adoption has ceased. It would seem, therefore, that the parties are either not aware of the present state of Liverpool, or that they have forgotten that which they wrote in 1833 ;—it may base been that either this circular or the memorial was has tily drawn up. That the losses by fire in Liverpool will, in future, be greatly under the average of the last thirty years, no one can doubt, who bears in mind the powers now possessed and acted upon by the Council, of making Bye-Laws for the prevention of tires in warehouses, and for the punishment of offenders, and who is acquainted with the organization and high state of efficiency of the Fire Police Establishment, of which such honourable men tion is made by the Watch Committee of the Council, in their report dated 3d February, 183 G. Looking at these circum stances, the Directors feel perfect confidence that the rates charged by them, which are on the average above 22 per cent. below the London rates, are fully adequate to meet the probable losses, and to leave a fair profit the Company—without which they have no desire to do business--having none of that patriot ism or philanthropy which, it would seem, induces the signers of the London Memorial to continue agencies in a place like Liverpool, where, instead of realising profits, they are yearly diminishing their Capitals, for the sole advantage of the Mer cantile portion of the Community ! The Directors, in conclusion , beg leave respectfully to state that the YORK AND NORTH OF ENGLAND ASSURANCE COMPA NY come before the public without any inflated pretensions to a preference either on the score of an enormous nominal Capital, or of high sounding names as their (generally irresponsible) Pa trons—they profess to be associated for the purpose of doing a business profitable to themselves, as well as advantageons to the public—their Proprietary are numerous and respectable—their paid up and available means are equal to meet any probable eontingeney-eand la case of need they will be found as able and as willing,. to discharge, ..promptly and liberally, every claim npOo them, as tiny office the kingdom.--Their Rates ef 'Pre unams are moderate ;—their Patrons are the Public -and to !a! continuance of that patronage, for which they are very grateful, they look alone Tor success. girctrder of •t he Board of Directors,' - maxima BA RLOW, Actuary and Secretary.

FEBRUARY 26, 1836. By the packet-ship Europe, which arrived here on Wednesday, .we have received New_Yorkpapers to the 2d instant. By these it appears that the Pantaloon, car rying despatches to the British resident at Wash ington, arrived at Norfolk on the 25th January, and that the offer of mediation was generally known in that city on the following day. The latest .accounts from Washington are to the 30th January ; but it is- remarka ble that, up to that date, no communication by the Pre sident had been made to congress, nor had any official acknowledgment of the proffered mediation been made public. Most of the papers and letters speak in san guine terms of the disposition of the President to accept the proposals made by the British goverriMent, but we are afraid they speak more what they wish than what they fear. • The IF:ashingtai Globe, the organ of the American cabinet, has preserved a studied silence on the subject • for four days, not the slightest allusion being made in • that journal to the question which is occupying the at tention. of all the rest- of the community. This marked silence is ominous, and shows that there are difficulties in the way of commencing a fresh negotiation, or of sup plying explanations' to a 'neutral power; which it does . not choose to publish. In the mean- time much specula tion in the. munitions of war is going on, of which brandy seems to be a leading article. We are not too colaftdout...4weyr, that it. is a more peaceful specific than gunpowder. The following are the only extiacts we can find room for : MF.xioo.—The packet ship Congress, Capt. Clark, arrived yesterday front Vera Cruz. We, received, at a late hour la s t night, files of the Vera Cruz journal, Censor, tile Bth du, January. They contain the ftillowing account of the capture oE Bejar by the Texians Itrom.sl Naciimal of the Ist January. " We feel the greatest pleaihre in making known that the brave,aud honourable General Cos is safe. Compelled by the forceOf circumstances and scarcity of provisions, he capitulated, leaving the town of Bej in possessiOu ut the- rebel. Ile quitted that place Ikith :5W men after having sustained a siege of fifty-six days and fought uninterruptedly for six days. The conduct of General Cos,- hiS offieers end soldiers, need no com ment; it does them as Much - hOriOtir as it they had obtained .the greatest victory. Eternal gory' to the brave Mexicans! The nation has nothing to fear with such heroic defenders." li, appears that on the 34 December, General Santa Anna }tasted in review 6,000 men at Luis Potosi, destined to recover T ex as. immediately afterva.rds five generals, with '2,000 men, took up their line of march, auCl.we find the van-guard, under General Sestna, had reached Salinas, a bout thirty miles from the Rio Brave del Norte, on the Bth of that month. We'tind nothing more definitive in regard to their operations. On the whole, we should say the Mexicans appear to hate plenty of troops but little money, and •tiro continuance and rapidity of the advance of the army of Texas will depend great ly on the means of transport and provisions they have at cona mend. A conspiracy against the government was discovered in the city of Mexico on the 6th December. The object is stated to have been the assassination of Santa Anna and the ministers, and to plunder the city. A great number of officers implicated had been arrested, and the plot appears to have extended to other provinces. It was,, however, totally extinguished. From the Charleston Illereurtf, January 22. THE FLORTIIA WAIL Frost Sr. MA irks AND Kgr,WEsr.—By the slarival.yester day of the brig Somerset, Capt. Parker, from St. Marks via Key-West, we regret to learn that the Indians are extending their ravages and murder to the Cape Florida and its vicinity, and that three families and au overseer have been murdered be tween St. Marks and Tallahassee. Au extra sheet from the office of the Key-West Inquirer, of the 141 h just., after confirming ilie.had news front the Penin sula, speaks as follows: The Light Ship's crew are now the nearest to the Indians, but being some distance from the ,6130rer and provided, we be lieve, with arms and ammunition, they may :not be cOasiderei in much dan , r cer. The next post is at Indian hey, about seyenty miles from. Key-West, where preparations bane been made for • defence by erecting embankments, in.iunting cannon, Rie:, but the efl . tvtiye force is small—and it is Key-West alone, which by the people from the main and other islands, is thought to be safe from attack ; for in addition to .the number capable of bearing arms, it is the farthest settlement from the Indians, and the one with which they are the least acquainted, the others being often heretofore resorted to for the 'imposes of traffic, 2,:c. It is thought near 200 fugitives have arrived here within four or five days. In this crisis our patriotic citizens have not been backward in their exertions 1,0 relieve the apprehensions of those who are alarmed for the diStress of those who are in want. The militia have been called out, and are now regularly or ganized and ready for duty at'a moment's warning. Patrols on land and wafer are nightly kepti•• and a vessel has been char tered and sent to Havana with a gentleman authorised to pro cure a further supply of- arms; and 'charged with letters from a committee of the citizens and the collector of the port, s oliciting visit from anY• 4l :our mallick-wax.tbat my be in that harbour, and we have since learned that there were two there two or three days since. We have 'to express to our friends at a distance our candid opinion, that the probability of ouilai`ng 'attacked is not great but still, to enable the inhabitant; of the i,lands and the main land to return to tbeiruSual• avocations, and in order to insure our safety, we have to repeat that a strong necessity ex ists for immediate action on the part of the government in this quarter. • ' • No definite accoant can be obtained of the number of Indipns in the neighbourhood of the Cape, hot, from their fires and other circumstances, it is thought they spay at present amount to two or three hundred warriors. - Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Marriage 13111, framed for the purpose of relieving the religious scruples of, irtain dis senteis, is a very amusing production ; but we Suspect it is doomed to briGr martyrdom like his ONN n Carlos. The enactments of the bill ai'e so ridiculously absurd, that we demand its rejection, by the house,. in the.naine of tlqt limited common sense of the country. 'For several years there has been an immense excess of fustian perpetiated in petitions, at public meetings , and in both honses of parliament, relative to the afore said scruples. The unitarian press has repeated the stuff at stated intervals—libmals have talked abont it on all occasions—and patriots, flushed with eloquence,: and something else not quite so dry, hav e raved, and blus tered, And banged the tables about t;,cse scruples; hot we declare, in perfect candour, that we never met or heard a'man amongst them who could give a rational reason for the clamour abut dissenters' marriages, or prove that dissenters,suffer any It is said that the unitarian f . atAit3ll, ohjectto the titles of the Trinity being used in the. ceremony. fr Some other sects object to be married in eitKFAttial e y going thol e they ran any risk of encounteringpeßta tr, or seeing the ghosts of those whom they iAnCt446. l f t i g t , t t i ers bad rob; bed.
