A T a MEENeof the INHABI44NTS of LIVER-
.CI. POOL, to ider the propriety ost Petitioning the
Legislature in favour of the measure of IRISH MUNICI-
PAL REFORM, held in the SESSIONS'-HOUSE, on THURS-
DAY, the 12th MarCh, tB4O, being called by the Mayor, by
Public Notice, in pursuance of a Requisition,
• The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair;
On the motion of W. W. CURRIK, Esq., seconded by
RICHARD SHEIL, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That this Meeting has learned with great satisfaction, that
a Bill for introducing Municipal Reform into Ireland has
passed the Commons' House of Parliament.
On the motion of JAMES BRANCKER, Esq., seconded by
JAMES MULLENEUX, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That, in this country, one of the important and salutary
consequences of Parliamentary Reform, was the thorough
reformation of Local Corporations : both thesegreat measures
being founded on the principle of self- odernment ; the first
tlefr
result of growing intelligence and civi ' ation being the right
claimed by large communities to fr y elect representatives
to watch over their local and natiofital interests.
On the motion of JOHN RossoNgsq., seconded by VINCENT
HIGGINS, Esq.,

It was Resolved,
That the same great law which is applicable to England
applies equally to Ireland. That while corruptions and
abuses have been found to prevail in both countries in self-
elected irresponsible Corporations, the same beneficial con-
sequences may be expected in both countries to flow from
local and responsible governments fairly representing the
intelligence, moral worth, and property of their respective
constituencies.
On the motion of THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., seconded by
RICHARD SHEIL, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That this great act of equal justice would be productive of
the most salutary effects. By such act of confidence on the
part of the Legislature in the discretion and loyalty of large
constituencies, the feeling of self-respect in these bodies
would be created, a worthy emulation would be kindled, irri-
tation would be allayed, better hopes inspired, and peace and
tranquility be promoted throughout the Sister Kingdom.
On the motion of HUGH HORNBY, Esq., seconded by
THOMAS BAINES, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That Ireland, as an integral part of the British Dominions,
is fairly entitled to participate in the free institutions of this
Country; that this meeting therefore relies on the justice of
the Imperial Parliament to bestow upon Ireland the benefit
of free and popular Municipalities, under such regulations
and provisions as may best promote the great objects intend-
ed thereby to be secured.
On the motion of WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq., seconded by
THOMAS COGLAN, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That the Petition to the House of Lords now read, en-.bo-
dying the foregoing Resolutions, be adopted by this Meeting.
On the motion of W. W. CURRIE, Esq., seconded by WIL-
LIAM RATHBONE, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That the Petition be signed by the Mayor on behalf of this
Meeting, and that the Earl of Derby and the Marquis of
Normanby be requested to present the Petition to the House
of Lords.

COUGH DROPS. Persons doubting of the efficacy of this
Medicine, may take a dose in the Proprietor's shop before
they purchase. The Proprietor earnestly recommends a
trial of these Drops to persons afflicted with the above com-
plaints, but he does not introduce them as being an infallible
cure, (as many do,) but is warranted ill asserting their efficacy
from the extensive relief afforded At numerous cases of the
above description. Constitution aY Coughs of three, four,
and more years standing, have been cured in the'course of
a week by the use of these Drops. In the Iloopinga.n!
Chin Coughs it will be found equally valuable; it will t i
times relieve the most violent Consumptive Cough. —ln
