AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS of
the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL, held in the SES-
SIONS-HOUSE, on THURSDAY, the 9th day of January, 1840,
clad by the MAYOR, by public advertisement, in compliance
with
,a requisition numerously and respectably signed, to
take into consideration the propriety of. Petitioning the Le-
gislature for an alteration in the Laws affecting the importa-
tion of Foreign Corn,

JOSHUA WALMSLEY , E,sn., MAYOR,
IN THE CHAIR,
On the motion of THOMAS THORNELY, Esq., M.p., seconded
by WILLIAM EARLE, Esq.,
_ • _

It was Resolved,
That the experience of every succeeding year more clearly
demonstrates the baneful operation of those restrictions on
the importation of food, which unhappily are enforced by the
laws of this country, as alike injurious to our commercial
and manufacturing prosperity, and dangerous to our political
and social safety.
On the motion of WILLIAM RATItuoNE, Esq., seconded by
WILLIAM BROWN, Esq.,
It was Resolved,

That these Laws, by preventing a regular and healthful ex-
change of our manufactures for the most important of all
raw materials, and by forcing upon us, for the supply of our
urgent wants in times of scarcity, the fitful and violent ope-
ration of occasional imports of grain, which can be paid for
only by a sudden and excessive drain of gold—have been
mainly instrumental in deranging our monetary system, in
depressing trade and manufactures, and in subverting the
equilibrium of the whole range of our commercial relations.
On the motion of JAMES AIKIN. Esq., seconded by HENRY
BOOTH, Esq.,

It was Resolved,

That the Corn-laws have the double effect of raising the
price of food in this country, and of reducing it in other
countries, thereby acting at once as a tax on our productive
industry, and a bounty on that of other nations, who, though
once our customers, by our refusal to take their produce
have been forced to become our competitors in trade; and
who. notwithstanding the capital, skill, mineral wealth, and
other great natural advantages possessed by us, are now sup-
plying foreign markets with many articles formerly supplied
exclusively by this country.

,
On the motion of THOM AS BOLTON, Esq., seconded by
VINCENT HIGGINS, Esq ~
It was Resolved,

That the evils of these Laws are most appalling when we
contemplate the injustice and misery which they inflict on
the great mass of our population, by curtailing the demand
for labour, and thereby reducing the rate of wages, by ex-
cluding good corn when most needed, except at high duties :
because bad corn is at a low price, and thereby limiting the
people to a pittance of unsound food, while other nations
have abundance of the best, which they are ready to give in
exchange for the products of our suffering industry.
On the motion of THOMAS BLACKBURN, Esq., seconded by
JAMES MULLENEUX, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That as the only real security for the peace and welfare of
all social states, is, a community of interests between the
people and the government, there is great danger as well as
great injustice in Laws which interfere with the most sacred
and inalienable right of every individual, to procure the ne-
cessaries of life by the honest exercise of those powers of
body and mind which are his special and often his only pro-
perty.
On the motion of CHARLES HOLLAND, Esq., seconded by
JAMES MELLOR,' Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That it is the imperative duty of the people respectfully
but firmly, to represent to the Legislature, the hardships to
which they have been so long subjected by a partial and ex-
clusive system, and to pray that such measures be adopted
as may give immediate and effectual relief from the great and
growing evils complained of, and thus secure the peace, pros-
perity, and happiness of all classes of the British people.
On the motion of W. W. CURRIE, Esq.,. seconded by Mr.
LAWRENCE HEYWORTII, Esq.,
It was Resolved, •
That petitions to both Houses of Parliament, embodying
the foregoing resolutions, be adopted.
Esq., seconded
LERocßii4,ewEnsq°.N,'
On themotionof
bCyHasOTRoGpEn

. .
It was Resolved,
That the Petition to the House of Lords be •forwarded to
the Lord Lieutenant of the County and the Earl of Sefton ;
that to the Commons, to the Members' of the Borough for
presentation, with a request that they will support the prayer
of the Petition.
On the motion of RICHARD SREII„ Esq., seconded by
FRANCIS JORDAN, Esq.,

. .
It was Resolved,
That an Anti-corn Law Association be formed in Li-
verpool, to consist of the Requisitionists, with, power to add
to their numbers.

TO THE PUBLIC O 1 LIVERPOOL
AND /TS NEIGHBOURHOOD.
HAVING been appointed to take the Management of
various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool,
I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly
before you.
The very little support whicth even the most favoured of
them have received, considering the wealth and importance
of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their
objects and views not having been prominently brought be-
fore all classes of the Inhabitants.
I may just state, in Corroboration of this, it is an as-
certained fact, that out of the 30,000 names contained in
the Liverpool Directory, only 1570 persons subscribe to any
of the Public charities of the Town.
I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va-
rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every
day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy
to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any
or all of the following Associations.
Your obedient Servant,
JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street.
Liverpool Protestant Association.
The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one
Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re-
ligion and genuine liberty : all who sincerely advocate the free
circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of
God : all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ;
all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath.; all, real
loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy
of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and
renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any
foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical or civil. This is
the direct object of our Protestant Association, considered in
its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our
second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection
to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune
still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre-
judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word
of God, anti the right of private judgment ; who are taught
that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to
be violated; and who are commanded, to yield their first and
highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority.
The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British
Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most
vital importance to the well-being of the: country, and the
continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and religious
liberty.
The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and
the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important
information. . The Association being now in active opera-
tion, stand 4 much in need of increased funds.. The rule of
the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That
all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being
members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng-
land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually,
or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be
Members of this Association."
Church Missionary Society.
The objects of this Society are so well known that it is
needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore,
merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of
nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.

Hibernian Society.
The following facts are sufficient to show the importance
of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish
people.

1.-2-There are in Ireland between two and three millions of
Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak
English as well ; and between five and six millions who
speak English exclusively.
2.—Among the English-speaking population, who are a large
majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So-
ciety is principally employed ; while, at the :same time,
for those who speak Irish only, it appoints Irish-speaking
Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools..
3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far
greater number of applications are received from them,
than, in the present state of the funds, can be complied
with.
4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066
Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca-
tholic Parents.
Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So-
ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money
will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except
where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin-
cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read
in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that
every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a
competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan
is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little
snore than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child—
or, if not, will you not do it ?
Lancashire Lord's Day Society.
The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of
worldly pleasure ; while the bulwraks of law, raised to defend
them, are no more efficient for that objeet than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of
modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour
of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people—
should combine in some effort (more powerful than could
proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,)
to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of
Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which
should have for its object the amendment of public feeling
and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of
spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of
those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping
holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as
might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the
deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans-
gression of the country.
The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen-
tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions
to Parliament.

Church Pastoral Aid Society.
This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver-
pool, as it is the means of providing mnny additional curates
and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while
the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7.
Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than
she receives.
The three following societies are especially devoted to the
benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation
on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of
all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of
this port.

The Mariner's Church
Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its
means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution
with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for
want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs
of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is
still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped
that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased
subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of
usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and
flatmen.
The Naval and Military Bible Society,
and Prayer Book and Homily Society.
Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit
the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that
purpose, and to supply the mews with prayer-books and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ;
ann, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society,
it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam-
boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip-
tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of
the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust
that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re-
sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the
seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out
this desirable object without involving the parent society in a
considerable loss.

Trinitarian Bible Society.
The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as rill agent, to visit the abodes
of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by.
weekly or monthly subscriptions.

Jewish Institution.
The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
months' experience, it has amply answered the benevolent
intentions of the promoters.
While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he
may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren,
the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to
false or insincere professions. Much good is being done ;
but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come
forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu-
tion must be given up.
Irish Sunday School Society,
To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting
of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most
approved principles for the management of such schools, by
supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra-
tuitously or at reduced prices.
Society for Promoting Christianity
amongst the Jews.
The name of this Society sufficiently explains its object.
It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa-
viour whom they crucified.
Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it
was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved,
and to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they
should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings
of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for
the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land.
There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of
these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries
are converted Jews.
The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians.

PARBIAN MILLINERY.
VIADAME CORAT, having just arrived from Paris,
IVA solicits the early attention of the Nobility and Gentry
of Liverpool and its Vicinity, to a splendid variety of MIL-
LINERY, consisting of Blonde Caps, Velvet Head Dresses,
Elizabethian Ruffes' with superb Children's Dresses; to be

PHIS beautiful shaped MANTLE CRIPPS and SCUR-
FIELD have the honour of otrming to public acceptance,
as the most ingenious and worthy covering at present within
her Majesty's dominion ; it is the latest shape introduced
from the French Capital, and presented by a Lady now
resident in Liverpool.
The splendour and eatent of this Stock of Cloaks, &a.
taking it as a whole, is-without parallel.
It matters not whether a Cloak at one or ten guineas, it
has the best attention the talent of the Firm can bestow.
MANTLES and CLOAKS, &c., of every kind, MADE
UP in the first style of Fashion.

THE PATENT IMPROVED
fALNISTED AIR STOVE, fur Warming Churches,
V spacious Public Buildings, Banking. Houses, Manufac-
tories, Show Rooms, Shops, Offices, Greenhouses, Entrance
Halls, and other Apartments of Private Dwellings.
BETTELEY AND HIGGS,
41, SOUTH CASTLE-STREE7',
ARE APPOINTED SOLE AGENTS FOR LIVERPOOL.
The Public are respectfully invited to examine the Stoves
at their Shop, where a variety is constantly kept on hand.
The simplicity in the construction of this Stove, its neat-
ness and elegance, the ease with which it may be regulated
to any required degree of temperature, its durability, clean-
liness, and economy, and the protection it affords against
-accidents by fire, enable the Venders, with confidence to re-
commend it to public notice.
The present immense demand is a satisfactory and sure
test of the estimation in which the Stove is held by those
who have experienced the pure and salutary warmth and
comfort it diffuses.
The Stove was invented by Professor Olmsted, of Yale
College, in North America, and it is so highly esteemed in
the United States that Joint Stock Companies have been es-
tablished for the purpose of extending amongst all classes the
healthful benefits and convenience afforded by its use.
With one Stove the Entrance Hall, Passages, and every
Avenue to the various parts of a House may be made warm
and comfortable. Two large Stoves will heat the largest
Churches effectually.
Prices vary with the size of the Stove, from Three-and-a-
half to Eighteen Guineas.
References and most gratifying testimonials, from the high-
est scientific and medical authorities, may be seen at the
Patentees. One of these Stoves may be seen in use at the
STANDARD-OFFICE, North Crescent, and the MAIL-OFFICE,
South Castle-Street.

MILK PUNCH •
THIS unique and nectarlous Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage bad his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this

that this . ELIXIR

bon vivant: of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, thatit is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;

AUSTRALIA.—The aborigines of Australia are often driven
for subsistence to the most wretched food, as snakes and other
reptiles, grubs, lizards, and the !arm of the white ant. When
they do obtain better food, they prepare it with more care
than might be expected. In cooking fish, they wrap it in
soft bark, and place it in hot ashes. By this process an acid
from the bark is communicated to the fish, which gives it a
most agreeable flavour. Mr. Ogle, in his account of the co-
lony of Western Australia, describes the native mode of cook-
ing a kangaroo steak :—" It is placed in a scooped outstone,
which is readily found in the streams, and pressed down by
heavy stones on the top of it ; the heat is applied beneath and
round the first top stone; at the critical moment the stones
are quickly removed, and the steak appears in its most sa-
voury state."

O'CONNELL AND THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND—O'Con-
neII has intimated that he will honour the Manchester
anti-corn-law dinner with his presence ! What, can it be
possible that a father, a brother, a husband, an Englishman,
possessing the slightest feeling of respect for the mother who
bore him, can deem it an HONOUR to sit at the table with
the man who has slandered that mother? Can it be possible
that Englishmen are grown so callous—so utterly indifferent
to the fair fame of those who ought to be dearer, far dearer.
to them than life itself? Judging by our own feelings, we
should say the thing cannot be. What reception would an
Englishman receive on coming to Ireland if he had dared so
grossly—so infamously-to calumniatei the women of Ire-
land? The green fields of Erin would be too hot to hold
him—the popular indignation would be loudly and univer-
sally expressed, nay, we would venture to say that he would
be hooted and pelted from one extreme of Ireland to the
other. But he is to honour 01) these gentry with his pre-
sence. Oh, how the truculent mendicant will sneer at them.
How in the midst of his mendacious harangues and fulsome
blarney, he must despise them at heart—how he will chuckle
when he thus sees persons hearnitgp andthe cnarTnea,
e to buthliamckwihngo
the feelings of Englishmen, fawn u
has charged their mother, their wives, their sisters, with
that which all other men in the world would consider an in,
sult only to be wiped out by the blood of the miscreant tra-
il ucer.--.Limerick Standard.
