AT the SPECIAL GENERAL VESTRY, Ireld at
ST. NICHOLAS'S CHURCH, the rtst clay of August, 1848,

The Rev. Rector BROOKS in the Chair
The following Report from the Comr

" The CoMmittee appointei by the Inhabitants in General
,Vestry on Easter Tuesday last, • to receive, manage, and
apply the Voluntary Rate for 'the brin into charge•of
all'Property within the Parish, and effecting an .equita-
ble adjustment of the Paroch' Burdens,' present the
following Report :
Your Committee have lick _geral meetings in furtherance
ciT the objects for which t were appointed. At their .first
meeting they took into co .deration the doubt and uncertainty
which prevailed in the vn, in regard to the question whether
'the clause for the r ng of the proposed Dotk Warehouses
-could be inserted i the Dock Bill, the standing orders of the
House of Com ns not having been complied with. They

ernatter of sa-mtich Amportarice to the interests
of the Paris loners, to act for themselves, rather than rely
upon the assurances of the Dock Committee in reference to-this
clause. They accordingivileputed Mr. Ferguson and Mr.
Dover,with the Vestry Cierk, to take such measures in London
for procuring the insertion ,of the clause, as to them might

"The deputation, upon their arrival in London, learned from
Mr.' Cardwell that no difficulty really existed in regard to the
standing orders, and that himself and colleague had only en-
tertained the proviso proposed by the Dock Committee as a

substitute for the clause itself, in the belief that the Vestry were
a 'consenting body. it ould indeed appear that the Dock
Committee suggested, and were themselves the promoters of
the supposed difficulty. The proviso so unnecessarily put
forward by them, was -stated by the professional gentleman
engaged by the deputation to be utterly worthless as a supposed
concession, its object being to delay, and ultimately to evade
the rating of the warehouses ; for the remedy in the case of the
proviso being violated by the Dock Committee, namely, an
injunction from the Court of Chancery, involved a tedious and
expensive legal process sufficient to deter from recourse to it.
" The Rating Clause passed, In all its integrity, the Com-
mons' Committee on the following day, and has since received
The Snot sanction of the.'Legislature, a result which your Com-
mittee believe to be entirely owing to the proceedings adopted
bylhe General Vestry in regard to the clause.

'" The Deputation -applied, through their Counsel, for the
insertion of an additional clause, to render the D, ck Commit-
tee liable, until the proposed warehouses should be built, to'the

Committee
Live;

iloivn for their erection,nit thii application was unsuccessful,
through the opposition•ctf the Dock Committee.
'" Your Committee are, however, of, opinion that even this
clause would have been ,obtained had more timely means been

adopted with regard toR. and that a measure of just
Ratepayers for the losswhich they will for some years am
sustain of the rates upon property valued at not less than
.4'3,000, recognised as it has been in the-Lands Clauses Conso-
lidation Act, would, in present instance, also have received
the sanction of the Legislature.
"The Committee, desirous of securingthe advantage of Mr.

Lon•ndes's professkinal skill and nbilityin furtheranc.'eoitileh:
objects in Parliament, have appointed•bim to he their Law-

'" Amongst the measures for equitable rating which have
-engaged the attention of-your Committee, the rendering of the
Dock and Corporate Estates contributory to local burdens, has
-held a prnyinent place ; and they resolved at their meeting
held on the sth of July, to apply in theensuing Session for a
legislative measure for -such purpose. The Rating Committee
-of the Town Council recommending, in the report which they
presented to that body at their last meeting, the joint applies-
' tier: for such measure by time Council and the Vestry, your
Committee memorialized the Council in support of such re-
commendation. The report, however, was rejected by a ma-
jority of two votes.
-" Your Committee are,indeecl, aware of the great advantages
-which would be derived in-such application-by the concurrence
and-participation of the Council ; and they strongly recommend

---
that active measures be now taken by the rate-payers them-
selves, to induce the Council, through the representatives of
,the different wards, to take the initiative in such application.
".As a practical illustration of the benefit to he derived from
the proposed measure, your committee would represent, that
under the belief in the present liability of these two estates,
therhs.ve this year, similarly-with other property, been charged
in the assessment with poor and church rates, amounting in
'the whole to- x-so,st i tas. 5 but the corporate and dock autho-
rities-refusing to pay—denying their liability—an additional
rate of-Is. in the pound will be immediately required to make
-good the deficiency. Thus, it :would appear, that every rate-
payer is saddled with an additional burden of Is. in the pound
for these-rates alone, over and: above what he .would have to
'contribute should the messure'be obtained from Parliament.

alleviation and equitable.distribution of such burdens, is espe

" Your memorialists are aware that on the passing of the

became exempt from the rates for the relief of the poor, to
which they bad been previously liable, and that a subsequent
act—the 4th and sth Vic. cap. 48—was passed, with the un-
doubted intention of removing such exemption.
" That your memorialists have been informed, that with the
view of exempting the Corporate Estate of Liverpool from
liability to the Poor Rate, some few words of a restrictive and
ambiguous character were introduced into the act, at the in-

satisfaction, that the propriety of rendering contributory to the
local burdens of the parish the docks and other property in thi
occupation of the Liverpool Dock Trustees, is again to be sub

" That, in the present depression of trade, and in the pros-
pect of increased local burdens for sanatory and other purposes,
your memorialists, as ratepayers. naturally look to their repre-
sentatives in the Town Council for the adoption of measures
for the alleviation and equitable distribution of such burdens.
" That your memorialists have ascertained from authenti-
cated sources, that except in two insignificant instances, Li-
verpool is the only port in the kingdom where the docks are
exempted from the poor-rates and total taxes.
" That by reason of such exemption, the Rate-payers of the
parish are called upon to contribute to such burdens ►n poor's
rate and church-rate alone, for the present year, no less a sum
than £18,400 beyond the proportion which would be equitably
tine from them; while the docks, and the works connected
with them, attract to the parish an incalculable amount of
additional pauperism.

"That. your memorialists respectfully submit, that however
expedient it may have originally been to exempt the Dock
Estate of Liverpool from such burdens, no valid reason exists,
in the present day, for the continuance of such exemption,

estate in the recent instances of the Albert Doc' -

COMMITTEE of the OPERATIVE

_., Having seen in one of the Liverpool
papers --AI Report of the evidence taken before the
Council Committee on that important question, the present
system of Quay Porterage, feel assured that you, the Mer-
chants of Liverpool, will not allow your interests, as well as
the interests and rights of your ever-willing servants, thus to
be trifled with and used as experiments to your disadvantage
and the loss of their bread. _ .

The Editor of that paper, who has been so id as to furnish
them with the report of the evidence, ha een trying to dissect
the last address they placed before yo , and, for the last two
weeks, to impress on the minds of e public at large, that it
was a savage, barbarous, and vi us address. But the Porters

But the Porters beg leave to denounce the present system as
unjust, Hinman, unchristianlike, and a monopoly. It is
unjust, because they believe its equal is not to he found on the
Statute Book of any other nation in the world ; it is inhuman,

because they beilve it takes from them their birthright as
free-born Englishmen—the right of free labour—and places
them under the surveillance of a middleman, which is worse to
