until the end of the present year, th mittee feel themselves
obliged to make an urgent ap o the Public fcr their Dona-
tions. They confidently t that this call will be met with
the same liberality tha ey have experienced on former similar
occasions; it will erwise be impossible to continue the pre-
sent amount o ief, restricted as that is, and never given
without th st careful investigation of the case. The Dona..
tions of the present year have hitherto fallen far short of the
average amount, and this deficiency is the more felt as the se-
vere weather which has n•w for some time prevailed has
seriously increased the number of legitimate claims.

THOMAS BLACKBURN, Esq., and resolved unanimously,—
That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the settlehient of dis-
putes between nations as between incl. -Ms can be more

It was Moved by the Rev. Dr. HUME, seconded by Jonrt-
SmiTx, Es9.,.and resolved_unanimously,—

That-we fully concur in the spirit of a motion, of which notice
has been given in the House of Commons, that an humble
Address be presented to the Queen, praying that her Majesty
would be graciously pleased to make the necessary arrange—
ments for the negotiation of arbitration treaties with other
States; that we believe the object of the motion to be not only
in accordance with the dictates of humanity and the growing
conviction among civilized nations of the impolicy and cruelty
of war, but that it would be showing the expediency and safety
of a very extensive reduction of armed forces, prove a most
effectual means of checking the national expenditure, and
greatly reducing or entirely repealing those taxes which press
so heavily on the industry of the people.
It was- mbved by WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq., seconded by
the Rev. FRANCIS BISHOP, and unanimously resolved,—
That the following Petition be adopted, and that the Mayi;r-
be requested to sign the same, as adopted by the Meeting, on
their behalf, and to forward it to the Medtbers for the Borough

The humble petitionna ilie:inha;itantso7 the Town of Liver-
pool, in Public meeting assembled.

SHOWETH

That, in the"opinion of your Petitioners, the settlement of
disputes between nations, as between individuals, can be more
rationally effected by arbitration than by physical force, and
that the agreement beforehand to refer all international mis-
understandings to the arbitration of disinterested parties,
would, when such misunderstandings occurred, obviate, to a
great extent, the arousing of popular passions, and, by pre-
venting general excitement among the inhabitants of the dis-
puting countries, greatly facilitate a calm and equitable ad-
justment of contending claims.

That your Petitioners fully concur in the spirit of a motion,
of which notice has been given in your Honourable House,
that an humble address be presented to the Queen, praying
that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to make the ne-
cessary arrangements for the negotiation of arbitration treaties
with other States ; that they believe the object of the motion
to be in accordance with the dictates of humanity, and the
growing conviction among civilized nations of the impolicy
and cruelty of war; and that it would, by showing the
expediency and safety of a very extensive reduction of armed
forces, prove a most effectual means of checking the national
expenditure, and greatly reducing, or entirely repealing, those
taxes which press so heavily on the industry and comforts of
thLpeople.

Your-Petitioners therefore pray your Honourable House to
take prompt measures to promote as far as practicable, the
negotiation of treaties of arbitration with the Governments of
other Countries.

And your Petitioners will ever pray, dm &c

J. Bklitifllir-iiOORE, Mayor.
It was moved by Hula H HORNBY, sEY-➢IOORE,
seconded by Ricun.
RATHBONE, ESQ.,—
That the best thanks of this Meeting be presented to the
Mayor for his readiness in acceding to the requisition, and the
impartiality and courtesy with which he has presided over this
Meeting.
