ed that some of these bodies did contemplate presenting
riresses to his:lordship,. The town-clerk, very properly,
.„,"otht it right to call you together, because, if any
dr:,ss at all was to be presented, it was certainly of all
desirable that the corporation of Liverpool should
'IL' the lead in presenting an address. (Hear, hear.) It

-,nees you are called hero together. I siill retain the
Pinion 1 long have had, that to a nobleman vi•iting the;
place for only a few hours, it is a great pity to occupy the
et;.°le of his time in ;presenting formal addresses to him.
(hear, hear.) However, you are now called together to get

mr;Charies Turner said : I hold a resolution which has
fen conk() to-by the Liverpool Chamber of ,Commerce. It
48 follows: —" That the president be requested to offer to
cn_rde,Pllmersten the congratulations `of the Chamber of
th'rnience; and the other mercantile associations of 'the
orn,, en his visit to Literpool, and to express their regret
t,lll` theeshertness- of his- stay precludes the possibility of
g-the respect they entertain towards h's lordship in e
s
et .forma/ manner." I conclude _from this that the
ltht do not intend to present any formal address, but
pi the president of the chambar will address Lord
th't. Menton verbally ; and, under these circumstances, I
,(114bic the corporation certainly ought to present a formal
46'4'4 to Lord' Palmerston. • (Hear, hear.) However,
a;„' we may differ with him in our political views, I
quite sure th-,t all of us will unite—all of us will

Pn; to Sir Benjamin Ilevwood's estate of Claremont, near
tto 9aleton, where Lord Palmerston was staying. A large 'lfit:: assembled shortly after twelve o'clock at the, Lime-
