GENTLEMEN,—I bog respectfully to inform
yon that I an] about to form an Office in London
for the purpose of collecting Commercial and other Information, and
for the farther purpose of facilitating Public and Private Business.
connected with the Town and Port of Liverpool. I. this office evert
facility will be given to ndividual firms and public bodies, which Was
afforded by the Liverpool Office, whilst it was under the direction
of Mr. Bacietrousx and the late Mr. Waterawaiona ; and other
commercial fad ities and conveniences will be added, which were
not thought necessary when those gentlemen were appointed to
office, but which bare become so, from the rapid and still increasing"
growth of the Commercial Interests of Liverpool. The following ob-
jects will be kept in view by me in conducting this establishment
The Offices for Business, which will be large and convenient, said
situated in the neighbourhood of the Houses of Parliament and the.
Courts of Law, at Westminster. will be ope at all times to the Sub-
scribers to this Institution, who may have occasion to visit London
on public or private business. All the London and Liverpool Papers
will be take and carefully fled for reference , and Telegraphic
Messages will received ani published, several times a day, of au •
events connected wiai the ommerce, Navigation, and otter great
interests of L verpool Having spent the last four eessions of Par-
liament in London on the business of the Corporation, and having
become familiarly acquainted wish the mode of doing business
Lond. I trust that I shall be ab'e to render to the Public Associa-
tions, to Deputations, and to individuals, the same facilities in the
way of introduction, and in the arraegements for conducting
business, which were rendered by my very esteemed predecessors'
Mr. BACKHOIISE and Mr. WAINEWRIGHT.
The whole of tee Parliamentary and Official Papers 1551134 in the
United Kingdom and in the Colon'c s will be received, and p esexe ed
for purposes of reference ; and the utmost pains will be taken to
co lect all Official Papers, connected with Commerce and Navigation.
which may be issued by the various Foreign Governments with
which the Merchants and Seipowners of Liverpool are brought to
contact, in their commercial operations.
Copies of all Rills introduced into t arlatment, which have ant
bearing on the Commerci,l or other leading interests of Liverpool,
will be kept at the office in London, and Summates of those Bills,•ae
well as all alterations proposed in them whilst before Part ament, and
all Acts of Parliament resulting from them, will be forwarded to the
Corr mercial and other Public Bodies of Liverpool.
A Report will be forwarded, early in every month, to each of the
Subscribers to the Liverpool Office, of all o alclal and well. author' ticated
inte'ligence respecting the commercial events of the previous month.-
These reports I shall prepare myself with the greatest care, with the •
hope of making them worthy to be preserved, and to be bound up in
a volume, at the end of each year, as an "Annual Register of
Commerce and Navigation." The first Report, which will be
published in January next, will contain an account of the commerce
of Liverpool for the year 18 7, and a Report on the present state of
the Port, Docks, and Commercial Establishments of Liverpool. a his
will serve as a record of the condition in which those establishment's'
were left by the Cori oration and Dock Committee, who have hitherto
bad the management of ahem, and in which they are received by the
"Mersey Conservancy Board," to which they are to be transferred in
January, 1858.
A Register will also be prepared, for, the use of the Professional
Supporters of the Liverpool Office, of the principal Documents in the
Pub is Record I.flices in London, which relate to Property and Rights
in the Counties of Lancaster and Chester. In the course of my
researches during the last ten years into the History of the two.
Counties, I have collected the particulars of many hundreds Of
Documents, in the Record Offices, which are valuable as Evidence is
Courts of Law. These researches I shall continue myself, sod cause
to be continued by others, until I have brought together the material'
for a complete Register of Documentary Evidence, bearing on publiO
and private rights in the two Counties. Nearly all the Papers relating'
to those Counties are now to be found in the Record Offices in London.-
Trusting that yon may consider an Office, established for such
purposes, worthy of your support, and that you may consider VW
possessed of the qualifications for managing it,
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servant,
THOMAS BAINES-
