APPEAL.

THE COMMITTE: of the DISTRICT PROVIDENT
SOCIETY are under the necessity of making an immediate
and urgent APPEAL to the liberality of the Public.

That their Relief Fund should be now completely exhausted will
excite no surprise, when it is stated that they relieved during the
past year 18,974 families, comprising 79,432 individuals, at a cost of
£1,332 4s 2d ; and in the month of January alone of the present
year no fewer than 1,277 families, or 5,514 persons.
The same causes which have been in operation fox
and want of employment, still, the Committee
regret to state, • extensively prevail, and have hitherto prevented
any decrease in the number of applicants for relief. For some time
rail, these applicants have, for the most part, belonged to the
higher ciae& of artisans, many of whom, when in 'health and in full
work, are depositors with the Society, and have, therefore, the
strongest possible claims for temporary relief,'When required

several

months, sickness

As the Public well know. that the Committee never make an
appeal of this nature until their ordinary resources have been
exhausted, a liberal response to their call has never yet been refused,
nor can they doubt that, on the present urgent occasion, they will
meet with their usual gratifying success.

Contributions will be thankfully received by their Bankers,
Messrs. Moss and Co., and the Bank of Liverpool; by Messrs.
Benson and Mallett, their collectors, 10, Castle-street; by the
Agent, at the Offices, No. 2, Queen-square ; or by any Member of
the Committee.

PROSPECTUS

THE LIVERPOOL REFORM CLUB

CLUB HOUSE, 17, CLAYTON-SQUARE

NOW OPEN

The LxvEnPooL REFORM CLUB has been established for the pur-
pose of disseminating political knowledge, by means of Meetings,
Lectures, Discussions, and otherwise; and for the advancement of
enlightened Legislation, Parliamentary, Municipal, and Parochial.

DEFINITE OBJECTS.
I.—To carry out the Policy of Free Trade, and to resist
all attempts to reverse it.
2.-I'o obtain an equitable system of Par.iamentary
Representation; an extension of the suffrage; and
protection to the Elector in the independent exer-
cise of the Franchise.
3.—To promote the honest and enlightened administra-
tion of Loc 1 and Municipal affairs.
4.—To act as the Organ for the expression of liberal
opinion.
_ . _

It is intended that the Club shall be provided with 'News Rooms,
and Publie Committee Meeting Rooms, together with such other
accommodation, as the Council from time to time may consider
necessary for tie convenience of the members, in order that the
Reformers of Liverpool may be induced habitually to assemble
together for the discussion of public measures and public men,—
expose abuses, and confer and co-operate for their remedy,—con-
stitute a rallying point from which the agitation of measures of
reform can be directed,—and generally to render effective aid to the
Liberal party of each ward during the various contested elections
therein.

In order to promote the expression of public opinion, it is pro-
posed to hold Periodical Meetings of the members, to consider the
various political topics of the day, whether they be national, or
more immediately connected with the Town of Liverpool, whereby
the opportunity will be afforded of publicly discussing the measures,
and the Representatives, whether Parliamentary, Municipal, or
Parochial, will have the advantage and benefit of the expressed
opinions of their constituents.
The entire absence, and consequent loss of power, of other than
individual communication between the Electors, and the Elected
has been long felt ; and the utter want of organisation has virtually
deprived the Liberal party of its real sti ength, because that strength
has been allowed to remain unknown. These, and other defects, it
is expected the Council will afford easy means of remedying. The
advantages of such an institution must be manifest to ail who take
an interest in public affairs, and cannot fail to merit the co-opera-
tion and support of the great body of the Reformers of the town.
On questions of a political and parliamentary nature, the direct
operation of the centralised force of such an institution will, it is
hoped, be recognised as a great and powerful auxiliary to the
Reform Association already in existence, without in any way inter-
fering with its valuable labours and usefulness.
The management of the Club is vested in a Council of sixty-four
members,—one half elected from the body of the Club in public
meeting assembled, and the remainder from the Wards, in propor-
tion of two from each Ward in the. Town.
The Club will be registered under the Limited Liability Act; the
responsibility of members will be •limited to the amount of their
übscriptions.
Prospectuses may be had, and members' names enrolled at the
•emporary offices of the Club, where further information will be
Worded. By order of the Council,
