I may also observe at the same time that several gentle men, who usually have taken an active part, and• who always feel a deep interest in the prosperity of Liverpool, are necessarily prevented from being present to-day, owing to the fact of this being the day of the annual meeting of the London and North Western Railway Com pany.

Live rpool; without compensation, of property which is admi;ted legally to belong to them.

Dear Mr. Mayor,—l am much annoyed and disappointed at not being able to attend the public meeting (as .to the attack upon the town dues), which I bad fully intended to have done ; but I, have been very unwell since..l saw you, and I am peremptorily forbidden by Mr. King Ellison to attend the meeting. I had hoped to have been of some trifling Ilse at it ; but you will see from what I have written that it is a matter of compulsion, not of inclination, which keeps me from the meeting ; and, that I am neither abandoning my principles, nor swerving from my offers of assistance by remaining away.--I am, &c., It Buomit E. To tho Worshipful the Mayor The'Mayor then said i Gentlemen, I had much pleasure in calling this meeting, especially when I saw that upon the important subject the requisition had been signed by gentlemen of all parties, by the bankers, the merchants, 'the shipowners, the professional gentlemen,the tradesmen and the shopkeepers of Liverpool—that one and all ani mated by the same spirit, seek to preserve the town those dues to which they believe we are, legally entitled, those dues which have been secured to thew by conveyances and deeds and:lnstruments which haVe 'hitherto been held sacred (Hear, hear, and cheers,) And whilst an attack is thus made upon the emoluments and rights of Liver pool, npon the amount of these town dues so essential a part. of 'our municipal treasury; I hope those gentlemen around us will recollect that the great amount which we derive from that Source is not by any increase of these rates themselves but rather otherwise. (Hear, hear.) The inereaseis by the great extension and expansion of the commerce of the borough, caused in great part by the increased accommodation we have afforded for ships and shipping and ter mercantile transactions generally (Cheers, and cries of heat; hear.) But whilst some are attacking us for the purpose of abstracting from us the amount of our dues, they — forget, perhaps, that they are loosening one of the great strongholds of society by which the; property of the country'is held, 'not only=' by Public and corporate bodies, but by individuals. (Hear, hear.) And. 1 Can safely assure you, for I have - it from the very higheSt authority,' from unquestionable authority, that there is property to an enormous amount held not only by municipalities, bilt by individuals, by noble lords, noble dukes, and others, derived from that verytitle.from which our town dues are derived, and of which they formed only, a small ,part. Gentlemen may recollect,' that the conveyance which was originally made to the citi2lens of London, comprised the dues of Liver pool,- which - were then but a very small. portion, a very triviiii.airMfint indeed, of the whole transaction, that it was in fact, the extinction of - a debt of upwards of 300,15004 and thit at that time, nareely, in the early years of the reign of Charles the First, the dues of Liverpool were a very small part indeed, of that great arnOuht. But the , one title, the one, conveyance, which epriyeyed the clfieS . ,iof Liverpool, conveyed also divers -rights, over' fairs; rivers, manors, and so on,, and which are now' held, ty,,a v,ariety 'of individuals, and by a variety of com mittees.
