A T 'ar PUBLIC MEETING' of the INHABI-
TANTS of the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL, convened
_

by the Mayor, in compliance with a requisition very nume-
rously and respectably signed, and held in the Sessions'-
house, on WEDNESDAY, the 28th day of December, 1853,

JOHN BUCK LLOYD, Esq., Miyory.in the Chair,—
It was•noved by WM. BROWN, Es'q., M.P., seconded by
THOMAB-^BOI7CH, Esq., Vice• President of the Chamber of
Commerce:and

Resolved; unanimously,—"That, as- the Decimal System of
Money and of Accounts affords greater facility, and is more
clear, simple, and correct than that :at present in use in this
country,lt is of great importance to theinterests of trade and
commerce that it should be adopted.'"

It was moved by T. B. HORSFALL, Eser., M.P., seconded by
J. A. PSCI-ON, Esq., and
Resolved unanimously,—"That such system, tending
necessarily to a decimal mode of keeping; accounts and making
calculations, will abridge the labourof the master in teaching
and the scholar in learning arithmetic; it will simplify all
monetary transactions to the humblest person in the country,
as well as to the more wealthy. It will give us advantages in
vending the products of our industry,ia the various markets
of the world, where we have to meet competition, and enable
engineers, contractors, men of science, and parties engaged
in other pursuits to perform, with more ease, correctness, and
satisfaction, the complicated calculations which frequently
devolve upon them."
It was moved by J. R. JEFFERY, E9q., seconded by ALEX-
ANDEsAVILvEEN, Esq., and
Resolded unanimously,—" That, as a Decimal Coinage has
been recommended in a most decided' manner by the report
of the Parliamentary Committee appointed last session, it is
the opinion of this meeting that its immediate adoption
should be pressed upon her Majesty's Government by the
community at large."

It was Moved by JNo. PEMBERTON HEYWOOD, Esq., se-
conded by FRANCIS CLINT, Esq., and
Resolved unan,mously,—" That his Worship the Mayor be
respectfully requested to forward copies of the foregoing reso-
lutions•to the Prime Minister, the. Chancellor of the Exche-
quer; Lord John Russell, M.P., and the President of the Board
of Trade." JOHN B. LLOYD, Mayor.
The Mayor having left the chair, it waa moved by Wm.
BROWN, Esq., M.P., seconded by Tnos. THORNELY, Esq.,
M.P., and
Resolved unanimously,—" That the best thanks of this
Meeting be given to the Worshipful the Mayor for his kind-
ness in calling and presiding over this meeting."

WISTATES of the CONSERVATIVE LANTh
SOCIETY.-FOURTEENTH PUBLIC DRAWING.

On SATURDAY, the 14th instant, at Noon, at the Offices..
33, Norfolk-street, Strand, London, the Fourteenth PUBLIC'
DRAWING amongst the uncompleted Shares, not yet on the;
Order of Rights, for priority of selection of lots on the Estates
bought for the Conservative Land Society, will take place.
MI Shares taken prior to the final numbers being placed in
the wheel, up to the time ofrthe Drawing, will participate in
the advantages thereof.
The unallotted Estates are West Malvern, Worcestershire;
the Round-hill Park, Brighten,. (second portion,) East Sussex;
Oatlands Grange, Weybridgei West Surrey ; Woodbury Park,
Tortbridge Wells, West Kent ; Castle-lull, Reading, Berk-
shire; Hounslow, close to. the railway-station; Tottenham-
green ; and St. Margaret's, Richmond, in Middlesex. Land
will be bought in every county.
A Share paid up in Mils placed on the Order of Rights at
once • price £52 ss. 6d.,,five per cent. interest being allowed
on the subscriptions up to the time of the choice of a let on
any estate, such selection being made or not, as the member
thinks fit. Five per-cent. interest is also allowed; on sub-
scriptions of a year in. advance (e 5 3s. 64.) and upwards.
Post-office orders for Ws. 6d., being the first monthly sub-
scription, (the subsequent payments being 85. per month,
with Is. every three-months in addition, for quarterage for
the expenses,) in the name of Charles Lewis Gruneisen, pay-
able at 282, Strand,.London, will secure the immediate enrol-
ment of names in, the Society's books. The bonus declared
for the end of the first financial year, up to the 29th of Sep-
tember, was six per cent. No partnership liability. The
system, which is peculiar to the Conservative. Land Society,
of establishing the Order of Rights by Completion, Drawing,
and Seniority, has worked so effectively that upwards of 2,000
Shares are now on the Register of Rights, of which nearly 900
were drawn, arid upwards of 400 were by seniority. As a
prudential, safe, sound, and profitable investment, the claims
of the Conservative Land Society, presenting, as it does, well-
balanced advantages for the smallest investor as well as the
large capitalistt, are undeniable. The prompt withdrawal of
Shares by a member, whenever he may wish to draw out his
money, Is insured. The practical supervision of an active
Executive Committee over the whole working of the Society,
secures for the Shareholders the most judicious purchases of
land, then enabling the members to acquire eligible ground-
rents, a kind of investment which is based on the firmest
foundation.

SPECIAL APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR THE ENLARGE-
MENT Of THE SOCIETY'S HOUSE, PERCY-PLACE,

DUBLIN.
Much success having attended the system for many years
past in operation at the Society's House (which is used as a
Training School for the Elder Orphans, and an Apprentice
Depot), the Committee (as alluded to in the Reports for the
years 1851 and 1852) determined upon enlarging the House,
so as to afford accommodation for a considerable increase in
the number of Orphans.
To carry this into effect a new Wing is in course of erec-
tion, with other improvements ; arid it is the wish of the
Committee, and of several kind friends of the institution, that
the expense shall not tall in any great degree on the regular
income of the Society (required for the support of Four Hun-
dred Orphans), but that a separate fund be raised to defray
the cost—about .800. The public are, therefore, earnestly
requestedontricontributens o any
amount towardswt
