An loving was held hors beforo Edward Horford,

from scalds caused by the bursting of a dean nem boiler.
Carlisle had worked at the moonfactory of Mr. Clerks

great dial of nearest bar bran manifested in the can from a
report that he bad ,frequently oomplinuti to Wm. Smith,

was bad burst, nod I and, "No. 4." We went to the
canal side and sow dingend fixed in the boiler house win-
dow, having one leg outside and the other in-

and his hoe was the scalded. He was brought to the So-

did, the earliest ieformatioo, not only from those pars of the

The central position of Liverpool and its proximity to the lugs

argued as an additional twos for transferring the mails to
Liverpool. The memorial concluded by praying that the
claims of the port of Liverpool to a protereme as a packet
statien for the Atlantic mails generally might remise the
favourable consideration of government. The memorial
(embodied in the report), relating tether stamp duties, stated
that commercial maritime stamps were most objection-
able, being a burden imposed on a clam who received no
bomb in return. The ad valorem priaelple should be
established in all stamps refitting to commerce. Receipt
stomps are strongly reprobated, and the Chamber ought to
urge that they be totally abandoned. Tao lase to the oo

Mr. HAROLD LITTLEDALH said it was all very well
for them to petition government to have the foreign meals ,
despatched frsm Liverpool, bat until they took an interest
in then 'tensen by risking something is sham or con
trams, they could not expect to have them. Arrangements
wen riot yet made as to where the mails to the Cape 01
Good Hope were to sail from, and he believed that if the
Liverpool merchant+ would take an interest la this contract,
Liverpool might be made the point of departure.
' The CHAIRMAN said it was a practical suggestive ;if
they considered it so important that the foreign mails
amid sail from Liverpool, they, ought to be prepared to
slake acme little sacrifice.
Kr. LITTLBDALE, for one, was ready to take shares
for the pupae of getting these steamers to Liverpool.
The mend report hiving been adopted,
Mr. C. HOLLAND came forward to propose the follow-
ing resolution:—" That the memenal on the advantages of
Liverpool as • mail packet station sow read, be adopted by
the Chamber, and that the council be requested to forward
it to the proper quarter, and that the members for the
county and burger' be requested to present it." Mr.
Holland said he tit strongly the force of Mr. Littledale's
remarks. It really did seem somewhat inconsistent for the
Liverpool mercantile community to remain ee apathetic in this
matter. Government tendon went into the hands of London
parties. and thus it wee that thew mails were kept from Liver-
pool. They could not too often brio, it before government
that they were prepared to incur some risk and rectifice with
then contracts, in order to have the MAUI sent from Liver
pool. He wee sure that they could show government that
they were reedy to run some risk ; they might have Liver-
pool made the Marion for the foreign mils.
The motion having been seconded, was carried 'meal-
unruly.
On the motion of Mr. WYLIII, seconded by Mr. M'Fan,
the following resolution use neat adopted: "That the
report on the „sloth ditties, now read, be 110611111 and
adopted by the Chamber, and that the council be instructed
to take such step as they thick proper for bringing the
views therein embodied under the notice of the commercial
public, end of her Majesty's government."
Mr. HOLLAND called attention to a step meetly token
by the newly-teemed Chamber of Commerce in London. He
saw that the London climbs: contemplated obtaining the
legislative sanelion to a portion of their proceedings to
valuing the legalisation of commercial tribunals for the
settlement of commential dispute.. Should the legislature

they ought to be, subject to a purely commercial tribe.

The meeting then broke up.
