Proposed by A. B. Goss, Esq., seconded by B. SMITH, Esq.;
and carried unanimously,
That the agricultural, colonial, and other interests of this
country are at the present moment involved in intense suffer-
ing and difficulty, and are fast hastening to a most fatal condi-
tion of general distress and ruin, from which no relief can be
expected till the free-trade policy, to which their position is
attributable, be wholly abandoned, and a system of just pro-
tection to domestic industry against foreign competition be
substituted.
Proposed by JOSEPH STONER, Esq., seconded by T *NM
WRIGHT, Esq., and carried unanimou
That the agriculture of this kingdom ' eof its most vital
interests, and that its destruction inevitably be followed
by the Min of our etinuher and manufacturing interest;
and that the free-trade po ' of the present Government has
signally failed, has m is ly injured the shipping interest,
and at the same ti as involved, and will involve, the agri-
cultural labour and all other industrious classes generally,

Proposed by JoHN'FAIRIIURST, Esq., seconded by JAMES
CULSHAW, Esq., and carried unanimously,
That a loyal and dutiful address be presented to the Queen,

ing this country and its important Interests to ruin.
Proposed by MOORE, Esq., and seconded by acclamation,
That the foregoing Resolutions be inserted in the Liverpool
Standard newspaper.

LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
THE COMMITTEE regret that the depressed state
of the Funds of the Society obliges them to make an im-
mediate and earnest appeal to the Public on its behalf. The
income of the Society, derived from Annual Subscriptions,
falls far short of what is required for its efficient maintenance,
and the Committee, in making this appeal to their Fellow-
townsmen, are confident that it will be met with the same
liberality and promptitude winch they have invariably expe-
rienced on former occasions.
