AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABI-
TANTS of the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL con-
vened by the Mayor, in compliance with a requisition very
numerously and respectably signed, and held in the
SESSIONS'-HOUSE, on WEDNESDAY, the 28th day of Decem-
ber, 1853,
JOHN BUCK LLOYD, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,

It was moved by Wm. BnowN, Esq., M.P., seconded by
THOMAS Boucx, Esq., Vice-president of the Chamber of Com-
merce, and
Resolved unanimously,—" That, as the Decimal System of
Money and of Accounts affords greater facility, and is more
clear, simple, and correct than that at present in use in this
country, it is of great importance to the interests of trade
and commerce that it should be adopted."
It was moved by T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., M.P., seconded
by J. A. Picrox, Esq., and
Resolved unanimously,—" That such a system, tending
necessarily to a decimal mode of keeping accounts and
making calculations, will abridge the labour of the master
in teaching, and the scholar in learning arithmetic, it will
simplify all monetary transactions to the humblest person in
the country, as well as to the more wealthy. It will give us
advantages in vending the products of our industry in the
various markets of the world, where we have to m' et compe-
tition, and enable engineers, contractors, men of science, and
parties engaged in other pursuits to perform, with more ease,
correctness, and satisfaction, the complicated calculations
which frequently devolve upon them."
It was moved by J. R. JEFFERY, Esq., seconded by ALEX-
ANDER WILVEEN, Esq., and
Resolved unanimously,—" That, as a decimal coinage has
been recommended in a most decided manner by the report
of the Parliamentary Committee appointed last session, it is
the opinion of this meeting that its immediate adoption
should be pressed upon her Majesty's Government by the
community at large.'
It was moved by Jxo. PEMBERTON HEYWOOD, Esq., se-
conded by FRANCIS CUNT, Esq., and
Resolved unanimously,—" That his Worship the Mayor
be respectfully requested to forward copies of the foregoing
resolutions to the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Lord John Russell, M.P., and the President o
the Board of Trade."

JOHN B. LLOYD, Mayor.
The Mayor having left the chair, it was moved by Wm.
BROWN, Esq., M.P., seconded by TimmAs THORNELY, Esq.,
M.P., and
Resolved unanimously,—" That the best thanks of this
meeting be given to the Worshipful the Mayor for his kind-
ness in calling and presiding over this meeting."
