PROSPECTUS

THE

LIVERPOOL REFORM CLUB

TEMPORARY OFFICES-

CLAYTON-1

SQUARE

The LIVERPOOL REFORM Cram 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.
-To carry out the Policy of Free Trade, and to resist
all attempts to reverse it.
.-- o obtain an equitable system of Par.iamentary
Representation; an extension 9f the suffrage ; and
protection to the Elector in the independent exer-
cise of the Franchise.

—To promote the honest and enlightened administra-
tion of Loc 1 and Municipal affairs.

he Organ for the expression of liberal

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 the 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
vidual 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 strength, 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 all who take
an interest in public affairs, and cannot fail to merit the co-opera-
tion and supportof the great body of the Reformets 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
Association already in existence, without in any way inter-
,llt
management
its valuable labours and usefulness.
memb,rsanagement of the Club is vested in a Council of sixty-four

SECRETARY ,PRO TEM.
Mr. Harmood W. Banner
The Mersey Graving Dock Company (Limited), has been ineor-
POrated under the provisions of the Joint Stock Companies Acts
1356 1857. The objects of the Company are the Building, and
more especially the Repairing, of Wood and Iron Ships, of every
description; and with these objects in view, negotiations have
been entered into with Messrs. Clover and Boyle, and Mr. William
Ashley Cliayton,
for the purchase from them, of their several leases
of the extensive Graving Docks and Yards at Birkenhead, held by
them under the Corporation of Liverpool, and also of the Tenant-
interest of Messrs. Clover and Royle in premises in Baffin-street,
and .ittna-street, Liverpool, and of all plant, machinery, and stock

in Birkenhead and LiverpOol, belonging to the above parties, anc
of the goodwills of their business and Messrs. Clover and hoyk
and Mr. Clayton, are now willing to transfer the same upon terms
Which appear to the Directors very advantageous to the Company.
The Corporation of Liverpool (the lessors of the premises at Birken-
head), will give their consent to the tranfer of the leases.
The above Graving Docks, lying between Monks' Ferry and
Woodside Ferry, afford great advantages, and are sufficiently capa-
cious to accommodate at one time from 9,000 to 10,000 tons of ship-
Ping' for repairs. They contain over 30,000 square yards of land,
of which •14,000 yards are dock and water space.
Ihe Buildings form a massive pile of stone and brick building,
300 feet long by 50 feet wide, and comprise lofts, rigging-rooms,
and workshops for joiners, blockmakers, smiths, and boilermakers.
There are also engine houses, foremen's cottages, and stables on
the premises. The stock on the premises is very large, comprising
an ample supply of materials necessary for the trade.
The average rentals are under 2s per square yard, including cost
f warehouses and workshops. _ _ _

The dues charged on ships entering these docks, are those fixed
by the Mersey Docks and 'Harbour Board.

There is little or no tidal current in the river between Woodside
and Monks' Ferries, and experience has proved that the largest
ships can be easily docked and undocked at these yards in all

weathers,

They
The premises in Bailin-street and Xtna-street, in Liverpool,
where Messrs. Clover and Royle have for many years corned on an
extensive business in repairing ships, will, it is considered by the
Directors, be a valuable adjunct to the undertaking.
The Company being essentially a ship repairing company, and
the profits divisible amongst the shareholders, shipowners 'becom-
ing shareholders will receive, in the dividends, a per centagc of the
money expended in their own vessels, whilst the work will be

direction of M. SERION, Licencie ds Lettres. This establishment,
founded twenty years ago, is delightfully situated in the most trarn
qml quarter of Pails, at a very short distance from the Tuileries.
It unites the combined advantages of town and country. A large
play-ground planted with trees and an ample shed for winter
recreation, alarge refectory, rooms for classes and studies, properly
heated dormitories, a well mounted Gymnasium, everything
demonstrates to visitors that nothing has been neglected which

conducted every Sunday to their respective places of worship, and
in this point their instruction is wholly intrusted to ministers of
their own persuasion. The terms are £4B per annum and £BO for
parlour boarders : these terms include the following studies, which
are all taught by able professors—Greek, Latin, French,German,
Drawing, Arithmetic, Algebra and the higher mathematics, Geo-

sophy, Natural History, Logic, etc. The following studies are extra

A small number of pupils can have separate rooms at £lO per
annum each extra. These terms are payable in advance, guarterly,
For the first few months the English pupils take lessons in French
with a master who speaks English ; but from the time that the 3
