Mr. A. C. BAKER, of the Liverpool Mail, having been called to
the Chair, the following Resolutions were unanimously
adopted:-
1. That, while the Reporters of the Liverpool Press, at this
meeting, acknowledge with much pleasure the courtesy and atten-
tion of his worship the Mayor in regard to the preliminary arrange-
ments for the festivities in connexion with the visit of the Duke
of Cambridge, and also in regard to the arrangements for the con-
cert at St. George's-hall, and the ball which succeeded the ban-
quet on Tuesday evening, they cannot but record their regret that
the representatives of the local press should have been placed in
an invidious and unworthy position by the reception of a reporter
for the London Times at the banquet as one of the guests, while
they were excluded.
2. That, though the reporters are impressed with the convic-
tion that the responsibility of action in matters of this kind rests
with the proprietors, they feel it due to themselves and to the
public to state that they them it objectionable to recognise, as a
precedent, the publication of reports furnished otherwise than
through the recognized representatives of the press ; as, in their
opinion, it would have a tendency to destroy the security which
the public now possess for fidelity and impartiality ; and at the
same time to interfere with that freedom, independence, and
self-respect which ought always to characterize the conduct of
the press.
3. That the practice recognized in the metropolis and else-
where, of treating such entertainments as private unless cards of
invitation be furnished to the papers, is, in their view, sound and
worthy of general adoption.
4. That, viewing with distaste and reprehension the practice
which has occasionally been adopted in this town of the reporters
personally, on behalf of the journals which they represent,
making application for admission to entertainments, the reporters
respectfully urge the proprietors of newspapers in this town to
co-operate with them iu establishing the principle asserted in the
preceding resolution, namely, that entertainments should be
considered by the press as private to which tickets of invitation
have not been received.
5. That these resolutions be advertised in all the Liverpool
newspapers.

IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is
A
1 with much regret that the Committee find themselves com-
pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this
Institution. Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from
a falling off in Donations and Legacies, which amounted, in 1852,
to 42,219; 1853, £1,315; 1854, .4175; and the high prices of all
Articles bf Consumption, the past year closed with a heavy Debt
of nearly 1,400, which is daily increasing, from the same causes
being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc-
cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto
afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community; a
course much to be deprecated, and one from which the Committee
hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re-
sorting. EDWARD GIBBON, Chairman.
ROBERT HUTCHISON, Treasurer.
