AT a MEETING of the SUBSCRIBERS to the LIVER-

trates' Room, in.the Sessions House, on Monday, the 29th
instant,

THIg WORSHIPFUL
The MAYOR of LIVERPOOL in the Chair.
The Secretary read the following
REPORT OF THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.
Your Committee having completed the duties assigned them
by the meeting held oth January, 1839, beg to submit a State-
ment of their Accounts, and the wanner in which the Funds
entrusted to them have been ctittributed.
The Donations and Subscriptions received up to this date
amount to £5130 6s. 3d., of which £1838195. 9d. have been ex-
pended in the following manner, viz., the sum of £852 19s. 3d.
has been granted towards the relief of the Passengers and
Crews of the Vessels 'Wrecked ; to the Owners of the Steam-
tug " Victoria" (1400 have been awarded for her services
during the gale, besides £lOO to the Captain (Eccles,) and
£63 to crew for their conduct on the occasion ; to the
£lO2 10s. litiVellittetiarv;t4M4,-,144.94-Mtw.FlvimaeZ
Boat (nine men,) who were instrumental in saving twenty-
two persons from the " Lockwoods," £45 have been given ;
and £152 is. have been distributed as Rewards to various
other Persons. The Expenses of the Society, in Advertise-
ments and other contingencies, amount to £123 9s. 6d.,
making, altogether, the above sum of £lB3B 19s. 9d., and
leaving a balance of £3291 6s. 6d. to be carried to the credit
of the Permanent Fund.

%al Urn.
Your Committee are highly gratified to observe that the
liberality they felt called upon to exercise, in many instances,
in the distribution of the Funds, has been most nobly sup-
ported, not only by the inhabitants of Liverpool, but by the
friends of humanity in other parts of the kingdom.
The Subscriptions thus raised have been the means of af-
fording relief to several hundred.persons, who, besides being
left utterly destitute by the late awful visitation of Providence,
had lost either friends or relatives, and were without the pro-
spect of obtaining relief from any other source. Those ship-
wrecked emigrants who wished it, were provided with a pas-
sage to America, and with clothes and provisions requisite
for the voyage ; others, who preferred returning to their
friends, were sent free of expense, by the generous co-
operation of the Railway Companies and Steam-boat Pro-
prietors.
The Infirmary, Northern Hospital, and Poorhouse threw
open their doors to receive the sick and distressed, thereby
rendering most essential service.
Your Committee have satisfaction in believing that no im-
position has been practised on them, as they have been careful
in obtaining the personal testimony of respectable witnesses,
or undoubted certificates, to every case relieved.
Your Committee, looking to the causes which led to their
appointment, deem it their duty not to conclude this Report
without calling the serious attention of the meeting to the
utter inefficiency of arrangements for the preservation of life
from Shipwreck, in which the late disastrous Hurricane over-
took the Port of Liverpool ;—that, had it not been for the
humane conduct of the. Directors of the Steam Tug Company,
and the unwearied exertions of Mr. Arthur, their manager,
backed by the gallant efforts of Captain Eccles, and the pro-
vidential arrival of the Steamer Mountaineer (on her passage
from Swansea) at the scene of distress, the loss of life would
have been greatly increased.
In concluding this Report, the Provisional Committee con-
fidently hope that the desire unanimously expressed at the
first meeting of the Subscribers, to have a permanent Esta-
blishment formed for the purpose of saving life from Ship-
wreck, will now be carried into effect in every way worthy of
this great Commereial Community.
