MERCHANT SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL FUND.
AT a Public Meeting, held at the Sessions-house, a
Twelve o'clock yesterday, for the purpose of takin
into consideration certain parliamentary measures in con
templation, materially affecting the Liverpool Merchar
Seamen's Fund,

THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Proposed by Sir JosnuA WALMSLEY and seconded by
WILLIAM ROWETT, Esq.,
That the Liverpool Shipmasters' Assoc (ton having ascer-
tained that an alteration is contemplat by her Majesty's
Government in the management and distribution of the Mer-
chant Seamen's Fund, by amalgamation into One Central
Board, it is the opinion of this meeting that such alteration
would be unjust in its operation, and is inexpedient so far as
regards the Port of Liverpool.
Proposed by T. M. GLADSTONE, Esq., and seconded by
Mr. CLINT?
That, as the disposal of the Funds for this Port must of
necessity be vested in a Local Board, we are of opinion that
no more eligible persons can be appointed for such board
than the resident merchants, inasmuch as the wants and
claims of the applicants will be better known and more
readily investigated by those who are acquainted with the
contributors.
Proposed by J. SPENCE, Esq., and seconded by Mr.
JOHNSON,
That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present act
of parliament, which enables the Liverpool Trust to collect
and apply the Funds of this port, is amply sufficient, if pro-
perly enforced, to carry out the objects contemplated by the
act.

Proposed by J. B. YATES, Esq., and seconded by
WALKER,

That a 'deputation of the following gentlemen, Sir Joshua
Walmsley, President of the Shipmasters' Association, Wm.
Potter, Esq., one of the Trustees of the Liverpool Fund,
Robt. S. Henderson, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of
the Shipowners' Association, be appointed to wait upon the
Board of Trade to represent the injury likely to occur to this
iis
Port by the proposed change.
