IMPRGVEHENT COMMITITZ.

Mr. EARLE moved the Mowing resolution—" That the
rapid progress and increase of tne town upon all sides
render it expedient that the public anthoritiee should direct
their early attenion to the best mode of improving-the
approaches to th 3 town and the thoroughfares in the
borough. Resolv-d, theref ire, that a c mmi.tee be 1..p-
-poluted to take the subject into their serious considera-
tion, not with the view of carrying any particular measure
int ) immedive effect, bat in order to pave the way f)r
'some comprehensive and well-defined plan for wideeirg
the thoroughfares, and for making other improvements
which have become necessary, when the pecuniaty situa-
tion of the Corporate estate shall have been clearly weer-
tainel, so that some f,asible scheme may be suggested for
raising the necessary funds for-carrying out such imp-ove-
ciente as may hereafter be decided up 'n." Mr. Earle
explained that the functions of the former Improvement
Committee having ceased, he thought it necessary to
propose this motion, in order that the improvement of the
town might be kept in s'ght. He hoped some of the land-
owners would assist them, nar,ieularly two noble
lords—Lord Sefton and Lord Darby—who indeed had
always been wiling to give them aid Another noble lord
had &so come ameeg tnem by marriage—he (Mr Earle)
wished he had never done so, but the least said upon that
subject the better. (Laughter ) He (Mr. Earle) never
had any idea that anything like a c nnprehensiva scheme
of improvement, commensurate with the wants of the town
and deserving he name of improvement, could be carried
on at the expense of the Corporate Estate alone If they
looked to the enormous c et of Parker save', and other
improvements of a similar kina,they would see that it could
nut be done. He thought that a very small improvement
(gip driei foie ITit al, weal? entire theiri £o -tiia-ke -v-ery-
extensive improvements. That would also have the
advantage, that jnries, in cases of c:aims for comp nsation,
knowing that the amount was net to come out of the Cor-
poration Funds, but in soma mea7ure out of their own
pockets, would not give the eno meus damages which were
frequently ewarde 1.
Me. Aldermen BENNET!' seconded the motion.

Mr. Autut supported the motion, and called the atten-
tion of the Council to several improvements. He also
stated that daring the lifetime cf the late Mr. R. V. Yates
it wts the intention cf that gentleman to have secured the
reversion of the Prince's Park to the pa pie of Liverpool,
but he died too soon, and the lay of mor,tnaTn interfered.
There ware some large meadows near the Park which were
c-owded with people every evening. These meadows
principally belonged to the Earl of Sefton, and he hoped
the noble lord would not be indisposes to cooperate in
p oviding for the people of Liverpool a park, or boulevard,
there.
