AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS of
the Borough of LIVERPOOL, called by the Mayor, pur-
suant to a Requisition numerously and respectably signed by
Merchants •and Traders of the Borough, for the purpose of
petitioning Parliament to take immediate measures, by wise
and prudent retrenchment, and a just revision of taxation, to
equalize the ordinary Expenditure with the ordinary Income
of the Country, holden on WEDNESDAY, the 31st May 1848,
at Twelve o'Clock at Noon, in the Sessions'-house, Chapel-
street.

T. B. MN:STALL, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,
It was moved by Mr. FERGUSON, seconded by Mr. CHARLES
HOLLAND, and resolved unanimously,
"l'hat the depression and want of confidence under which
the trading and commercial interests of the country are now
labouring are greatly aggravated by the preseLt unsatisfactory
state of the national finances."

It was moved by Mr. C. ItonEßTsoN, seconded by Mr. A
H. WYLIE,
"That the national expenditure is on a scale of unjustifiable
extravagance."

It was moved by Mr. L. HEYWORTH, seconded by Mr•
RICHARD VAUGHAN YATES,
" That, in order to remedy this alarming state of the national
finances, a prudent and immediate retrenchment, with a view
of bringing the expenditure within the income, is a measure
of urgent necessity, and that resorting to any temporary ex-
pedient for meeting the deficit, by borrowing, is eminently
calculated to add to the present distrust, and to increase the
evils from winch the community have already so deeply suf-
fered."

It was moved by Mr.J. R. JEFFERY, seconded by Mr. BOULT,
"That, in the opinion of this Meeting, a large measure of
Financial Reform, embracing the remission of those burdens
which press upon industry, and the substitution of an equi-
tably adjusted scheme of direct taxation, in which Property
should be made to bear its fair proportion, is imperatively
demanded at the hands of the Government, the present mode
of raising the Public Revenue by means of Customs and
Excise Duties being unjust in principle, limiting, as it does,
the comfort and subsistence of the People, and lessening their
employment, and, as a consequence, materially retarding the
progressive wealth of the country."
It was moved by Mr. RICHARDTARRALL, seconded by Mr.
THO- MAS ROGERS,

That, if after every possible retrenchment and the removal,
as far as practicable, of these imposts, which are inimical to the
industry of the country, the revenue be found to require addi-
tional aid, it be recommended to apply the Probate and Legacy
Duties to real property, or to levy the Stamp Duties on legal
pecuniary instruments by_an equitable per centage throughout,
and the substitution, as far as possible, of direct for indirect
taxation."
It was moved by Mr. J. Ssi ITH, seconded by Mr. BRODERI 88,
"That the following Petition to the House of Commons be
adopted by the Meeting, and signed by the Mayor:
"To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland, in Parliament assembled,
"The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of Liverpool, in
Public Meeting assembled,
" Showeth,—That your Petitioners, being extensively
engaged in Trade and Commerce, have seen with much appre-
hension the National Expenditure gradually increase upon the
National Income, until, at length, a large deficiency exists in
the l'ublic Revenue. _ .

That your Petitioners have seen, with still greater alarm,
that this state of the Public Finance has not induced her
Majesty's Government to adopt any measures to meet an
emergency alike discreditable to the country and injurious
to all the pursuits of, industry, none of which can flourish
under a failing Exchequer.
"That your Petitioners believe that the present amount of
Taxation is greater than the industry of the country can sup-
port, and, if con
tinued, must tend to impoverish the nation.
" Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly beg that your
Honourable House will at once adopt the necessary measures
to reduce the. Expeneiture within the Income of the country;
and, by a large measure of Financial Reform, relieve industry
from its present burdens, and cast upon property its fair pro-
portion of the public charges, a measure which, to effect these
objects fully, ought to include the application of the Probate
and Legacy Duties to real pr.operty, tke levying of the Stamp
Duties on legal pecuniary instruments on an equitable per
centage throughout, or the substitution, as far as possible, of
direct for indirect taxation.

" And your Petitioners will ever pray.
" On behalf of the Meeting,
" THOMAS 11. HORSFALL, Mayor."
It was moved by Mr. WYLIE, seconded by Mr. JOHN
SMITH, and resolved unanimously,
"That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Mayor."

NATURE'S CH lEFEST ORNAMENT.—AII who are aware
of the great importance of a Fine Head of Hair, and its
paramount interest over all that pertains to the personal
appearance, have hailed the introduction of the BALM of
COLUMBIA to their notice with the liveliest satisfaction.
Of this high appreciation C. and A. OLDRIDGE have the
most convincing proof, in the numerous voluntary testi-
monials and recommendations which they have received
and published by permission from time to time. The
following letter is strongly expressive of the advantages
resulting from its use :-- _

" The Farm, Lymington, Hants, Feb. 9, 1848.
" Gentlemen,—ln justice to you I think I ought to tell you
that your BALM of COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair,
which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness
there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it. I have no
objection to your making use of my name in any way as re-
gards the sale of your BALM of COLUMBIA. I think it a duty
I owe to the public in general.—Your obedient servant,
" J. DELAP WILSON.

" To Messrs. C and A. Oldridge,
" 1, Wellington-street, the second house from the Strand,
" London."
OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to
grow, prevents the Hair from turning grey, and the first
application causes it to curl beautifully, frees it from
scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of Cer-
tificates of the first respectability are shown by the Pro-
prietors , C. and A. OnmeinnE, 1, Wellington-street,
Strand, where the Balm is sold, and by most of the re-
spectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders. Price 3s. 6d.,
65., and I Is. per Bottle. No other Prices are genuine.

THE ORIENTAL DIVAN is still in Clayton-square, and
the fare, as usual, excellent.
THE BRUNSWICK CLUB.—The introduction of out-
door exercises,—cricket, bowls, &c., has greatly added to
the number of the members of this club ; an institution,
the excellence of which, if known, would command as
patrons half the town.
DEAFNESS.—The advertisement of Mr. Bennett ap-
pears in our paper to-day, and having received the names
of many who have benefitted greatly by his treatment,
we cannot do less than recommend him to those afflicted.
Mr. Bennett, though professionally and by diploma,
authorised to practice every branch of medicine, has
devoted his entire study to the diseasos of the ear, which
application may solve the numerous alleviations he has
effected.

FORGIVENESS OF ()TILERS.—it is in vain for you to
expect, it is impudent for you to ask, of God forgiveness,
on your own behalf, if you refuse to exercise this forgiving
temper with repect to others.
ACTIVE GOODNESS.—You cannot lisefor men without
living with them. Serve God, then, by the active ser-
vice of men. Contemplate more the good you can do,
than the evil you can only lament. Allow yourself to see
the loveliness of nature amidst,all its imperfections.
