LIVERPOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION.-At a meeting of
the representatives of the local press, on Saturday even-
ing, at the Clarendon Rooms, Mr. Baker of the Liverpool
Mail, occupying the chair, it was resolved to establish a
society, under the above designation, the object of which
should be to cultivate mutual good feeling and cordial
action amongst those engaged in the literary depart-
ments of the press of this town, by bringing them into
contact with each other at social and other meetings to
be held periodically. By the interchange of friendly
feelings, which would thus be created, and by pro•
moting objects .of interest, to the profession generally,
the promoters of the society believe that much advan-
tage would be derived, while from its corporate character
the association is expected to attain an influence which,
rightly directed, may be productive of the most laver-
taut and beneficial reoults.—.l4ol3o4
