The MAYOR of LIVERPOOL in the

the following Resolutions were unanimously carried':

are now scattered among the mountains and on the coasts of
Syria, deprived of shelter, clothing, and food."
2.. Moved by CHRISTOPHER BusnELL, Esq., seconded by
CHARLES LANGTON Esq.,
" That although the Turkish Government may, under the
special circumstances of the case, be willing to make eventual
provision for the relief of its buffering subjects, yet, that' in
the opinion of this Meeting, the urgency of immediate need
overleaps all questions of distance and technical obligation,
and demands the administration of present help as a simple
dictate of human compassion."

HOLT, Jun., Esq.,
"That a Subscription be opened in Liverpool for Contribu-
tions in Money and Clothing towards the object now indicated;
and that the following Gentlemen' with power to add to their
