EXCHANGE NEWS-ROOM.--A new committee
been appointed for the management of the
buildings, and we consider it a duty we owe e
to present to them the following specimen of thi
of this newly elected body. A revision of tl
papers taken into the News-room has been mai
following alterations ordered :
Those marked R are Radical, Reforming or Revolutil
Those marked C Conservative or Tory.'
11 Morning Chronicles R paper increased I

4 St. James's Chronicles C reduced t

8 John Bulls
Of the Liverpool press, two It papers, the Ti:,
Mercury, have been reduced from 20 to 16,
Saturday's Advertiser, C paper, has been rei
10 to 6, and the Liverpool Standard from 15 I
The total number. of London morning paper
cal, Reforming or Revolutionary principles
taken in the News-room is 42, whilst of Tory
native principles there are only 8. The total
evening•papers of Radical, Reforming or Ret
principles is 33, whilst of Tory or Conservative
there are only 10.

As far as regards ourselves, we care not one lm. u
if they eject our paper altogether. Had pec#
muneration been our object, we have already a ,
son to be satisfied with the support we have recel,G;
the extended circulatiOn of our paper—a supr'l
circulation we believe to be altogether without IW,,
in the history of any publication out of the ale.ii
Our aim, however, is to maintain the principle%
fess, and we take.this opportunity of informing
mittee of the Exchange-buildings, that, if such
of liberalism is pursued, the friends of conset vati':
ciples have a remedy which they will not be slow °,,,,
We are not in the habit of promising things 0;
not intended to be performed, and we can al.
readers, that if such an utter disregard is pajui
wishes of so many of the subscribers to the DS'Y
News-room, before this day twelvemonths, aril
commodious and convenient room will be estahli .
joining the Exchange, the admission to which t5O,
tended to be more than one-half the present ex
charge, In this. room our friends will have tbe.'
tunity of perusing not only conservative par'
every 'liberal paper published both in Liverpool"
metropolis, as well as those of the principal too
kingdom. Never before, we believe, has the aY.
ment of a News-room, in this town, been made the
of political discord or political partiality. We ',
the names of those who, we are informed, were the,
sub-committee when the alterations were made to
we complain, and respecting Which we hear but 1
versal expression of indignation— 1
Mr. THOMAS BOLTON,
Mr. JOHN LYNCH, and
Mr. JOHN CARTER ;
one other name was handed to us, but, as our infd ,
was not certain as to his presence at the tneetiq:
sub-committee, we do not mention it ; but we '
every honest and impartial man, be he Whig or 1
unite in one strong and determined protest a,,crai .
barefaced and shameless conduct. It is worth!
mark, that the committee have received the annaj
scriptions for the current -year before making awl
tions ; but we call upon them on the ground of e 4
honesty and fair dealing, to make, at least, an otil.o
turning the subscription to those who may wish. 1:'
