THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, ,or ire 64 „i 5/ NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. _ There is nothing more remarkable in the social h its of the present day; and more particularly in those of . ie past century, than a general disregard to the maxims prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence t vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an fecbled con stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual valids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, d their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are disc rged laboriously, With pain and difficulty. For this state nervous derange ment, the -celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great dumber to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms connnonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an humoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their co nstitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray tal , proach, as th e var i ous affections of the nervous system, i st inate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu aritY, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &c. But the reli e f the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge lierall3' administers is not confined to these alone : the valet udinarian by birth, w ho h as re c eiv e d from his parents the inheritance of a diseased ,and unprolific frame—the deli cate eat? f emale, whom an immured and inactive life, togethey aliau immoderate use of tea and other weak and waterr ments, has,. without any fault of hers, brought on all the :.a,l::tilitous symptoms of a consumpti ve h a bit, an d are , with ** * these , ne ly assistance, sinking into a premature grave !

PRIESTLEY'•S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. T,.YRIEST f, EY , 111 ST. Lord-street, Li vf . *Ttniot, !Jeff a particularly to can the attention of his Filen& and the Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly-cele brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the EID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than avthing yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany' The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDER ' is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill witl rest accuracy, and although numbers of people acquainted ith the business, and others, have of late years attempted imitations, they have invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither pos sessing the agreeable flavour nor the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. ..... Sold in boxes 2s. each, containing twenty-four powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in tin cases 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for exportation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all cli mates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY No. 64, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ' • that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considrable expense ; and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in boxes at Is. Gd. each. FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. - In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, Or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid. Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. _ _ Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. Sold in bottles, at 4s. Gd., 7s. Gd., 10s., 155., and 21s. The larger sized bottles are the cheapest. . VEGETABLE HAIR OIL Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF TriE • ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTH R DISTIN GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND GYMEN OF TILE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND D IRELAND, AND OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A. IT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland, both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of America; and the distinguished patronage with which this undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to the nation at large, as well as to the Members of our venera ble and Apostolic Church. The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire to see the sacred tics of Christian affection drawn more closely between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and their Ctinr.rezations. io the Cle9 . y who may wish to possess Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are corer them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical friends ; and of living authors whom they finve read and esteem., the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure. To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantt.ges of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake." The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal, bein. , the great objects proposed to be recorded. The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is given, together with a list of any religious or literary works which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority, that it would add much to the interest and value of the work, if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such communications. And as only about four pages on an average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural illustration, brevity will be highly desirable. The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art, and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and one of the most splendid that has ever appeared. A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by seven. _ s. d. Price of each Part, India Proofs - 0 Ditto ditto, Imperial Quarto Proofs l2 0 For the convenience of Subscribers and others, each Plate may be had separately. _ _ __ Proofs of the Plates ,before Letters, on Large Paper,lndia2l 0 Ditto Lettered, ditto India 10 6 Ditto ditto ditto Plain 7 6 All Portraits will be given in full canonicals ; and those Clergymen who have approved likenesses will oblige the Proprietors by lending them for the purposes of this Work. They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense; but where no Portrait exists, the Proprietors will have one painted expressly for the Work at their own expense. Part I. is now ready, containing a Portrait and Memoir of THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER. THE REV. HENRY MELVILL. RYALL'S CONSERVATIVE PORTRAITS. Each Part contains three Portraits, uniform in style, size, &c., together with twelve pages of letter-press, devoted to condensed MeMoirs of the individuals represented : the sizes, small folio and imperial folio.

IN order to provide for the Inhabitants of Liverpool an Educittion suited to their wants, upon the most moderate terms, and, at the same time, to maintain indissolubly the connexion between sound religion and useful learning, it is proposed to found a New Establishment, to be called " THE LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION—FOR TILE EDUCA TION OF THE COMMERCIAL, TRADING, AND 'WORKING CLASSES," in which instruction in the doctrines and duties or Christianity, as taught by the United Church of England and Ireland, shall, for ever, be communicated in combination with Literary, Scientific, and Commercial information. And, with a view to the permanence of the Institution upon this basis, it is intended that all its Officers, Professors, and Masters, except the the Teachers of certain Foreign Lan guages, shall be members of the Established Church, but that no distinction shall be made in the admission of Pupils, and that only the Children of members of the Church of England shall he required to learn the Church Catechism. The more effectually to secure the assistance of all ranks of society in accomplishing the objects of this Institution, it is proposed that the instruction which it will afford shall be given in three distinct departments, namely, two Day Schools, and an Evening School. The system of Educition• proposed for the first school will include the Classics, English Literature and 'Composition, Geogra phy, Civil and Ecclesiastical History, Modern Languages, Mathematics, Natural History and Philosophy, Chemistry, Drawing, and every other 'branch of useful learning. The various classes will be placed under the care of able Univer sity Graduates, whose constant duty it will be to provide in the most effectual manner for the great objects of education —moral and religious training, the communication of gene ral knowledge, and specific preparation for the after-pursuits of life. The instruction to be given in the second school will be on a more limited and less expensive scale ; but it, will embrace the various requisites of a sound general educa tion, so as to enable the pupils to enter upon the business of life with advantage to themselves and the community. The masters engaged in this department will be likewise carefully selected, with a view to their literary and scientific attain ments ; and it is confidently anticipated that this division of the Institution will become highly popular. The exercises of each School will be commenced and terminated with prayer, at which the attendance of every pupil will be required ; and the reading and exposition of the Holy Scriptures will form a portion of the daily business of the Schools. The Even ng School is principally designed for the instruction and im provetnent of those whose education has been comparatively neglected in early life ; but provision will be made in it to enable young men to pursue particular branches of Classical, Mathematical, or Commercial knowledge. Classes will be organised for the study of Navigation, Geography, Nautical Astronomy, Naval Architecture, and Civil Engineering, which branches will he taught on a scale commensurate with their growing importance,to the interestauf this port ;—and, -with a view of still further adding to the usefulness of these classes, examinations of the pupils connected with them will periodi cally take place, and certificates of proficiency be granted to them. Able masters will likewise be provided for the tuition of students in English Grammar, - Writing, Arithmetic, Ar chitectural, Ornamental and Figure Drawing and Modelling, Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, and the modern languages, as well as for the communication of such other learning as may be calculated to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, and render them happier and better members of society. Independently of the Schools, it is intended that this In stitution shall possess a spacious Hall, in . which popular Lectures may be delivered from time to time. And as the Institution flourishes and funds are supplied, it is intended that every addition requisite for the advancement of the Pu pils in Literature; Science, and Art, shall be provided, and suitable buildings erected for a Museum, Library, &c. on a scale adapted to the increasing wants of the community. To connect the Institution more closely with the various classes for whose improvement it is designed, and to secure the services of the most efficient individuals in its manage ment, it is proposed that the general direction of its affairs shall be entrusted to a Committee/of thirty-six persons, to be elected from the Clergy, Merchants, Professional Men and Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and Mechanics. It is intended that the Committee, in the first instance, shall be elected at a General Meeting of the Donors of £lO 10s. and upwards, to be held on the first Mondaytin January, 1840, and that its future appointment, in such manner as may hereafter be determined upon, shall be vested in one hundred Life Go vernors. The first Donors of £lOO or upwards, on or before the first Monday in January, shall be Life Governors, and they shall meet on that day to complete their number, if necessary, and to elect seven Trustees for the Land and Pro perty. The Governors shall also fill up vacancies in their own body and in that of the Trustees. The Committee shall form a Code of Laws, Rules, and Regulations for the future government of the Institution, upon the principles previously stated, and revise, amend, or alter the same from time to time ; but no Laws, Rules, or Regulations, shall be made or altered without the sanction of two-thirds of the Governors, who may be present at a Meeting specially convened for that purpose after seven days' notice, and consisting of not less than twenty-one Members. To erect an Institution worthy of Liverpool, and adapted to its growing wants, a considerable sum of money will be necessary, and it is confidently expected that the determina tion already evinced in this town, to maintain Scriptural Education in connexion with the Established Church, will lead to the speedy contribution of the required amount. Donors of £5OO or upwards, will be entitled to become Vice • Presidents of the Institution for life, with peculiar privileges. Those Ladies who may contribute £lO 10s. or upwards, and Gentlemen £25 or upwards, will be styled Honorary Life Members, and a division of the Lecture Hall will be espe cially reserved for their accommodation. A Donation of £lO 10s. or upwards, in one sum, from a Gentleman, and of £5 ss. or upwards, from a Lady, will constitute them Mem bers of the Institution for life, with certain privileges. Do nations under £5O may be paid in two yearly instalments, and above £5O in fuurearly instalments, of which the first shall be due on the Ist January, 1840. DONATIONS.

The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain.

TO THE PUBLIC OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. HAVING been appointed to t a k e th e M an agement of various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool, I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly before you. The very little support which even the most favoured of them have received, considering the wealth and importance of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their objects and views not having been prominently brought be fore all classes of the Inhabitants. I may just state, in corroboration /f this, it is an as certained fact, that out of the 30,000 names contained in the Liverpool Directory, only 1570,0ersons subscribe to any a pt of the Public charities of the To I will'uow give a brief summ of the objects of the va rious Societies, and shall be in a tendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the fullowin , ,r, Associations. Your obedient Servant, JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street. Liverpool Protestant Association. The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the umnitilated and unadulterated Word of God ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath ; all real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance_whatever to any foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical or Civil. This is the direct object of our Protestant Association, considered in its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the country, and the continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty. The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &e. containing useful and important information. The Association being now in active opera- tion, stands much in need of increased .funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at auy one time, shall be Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore, merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of nearly LII,OOJ, and the strong and urgent calls from L►dia for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. BONUS. At the Annual General Court of Proprietors, held on the 20th June, 1839, bonuses were declared'to the assured in the Fire Department of £lO per cent. on the Premiums received during the five years previous to the 25th March, 1839, to be paid on all insurances of two, or more, years standing : and to the assured in the Life Department, on all policies for the whole duration of life, of four, or more. years standing, on the 25th March, 1839, of very nearly 26 per cent. on the amount of the premiums received thereon, improved at com pound interest, to be added to the suns assured by such po licies when they-become claims, or an equivalent reduction to be made in the annual premiums upon their, at the option of the parties entitled thereto.

HE PROTESTANT ALMANACK, for the Ye of our Z Lord 1840, price 3d., or 21s. per hundred, coeftaining a Record of the most Important Historical Eventlitelative to the Origin and Progress of Papal Usurpation( Persecution, Idolatry, and Corruption, together with her Useful and Instructive-Information of the utninst v. c to Protestant* of every denomination. Compiled by JOSEPH ISP. This is an admirable compilation of Protestant intelligence, giving an amazing deal of information of the most valuable kind on subjects connected with Popery and Protestantism. The Chronological Table of Popish events is a faithful prac tical exemplification of the spirit of Popery, and contains the best materials possible for rousing the apathy of nominal Protestants. There is nothing like an appeal to History, and if the British people would only study its pages a little more closely than they do, they would soon see the para mount necessity of resisting the encroachments of Popery, and the danger to themselves and their offspring of suffering it to regain power of any shape in these dominions. We earnestly beg our readers to possess themselves of a copy of the Almanac ;. anti the rich to .give it away to the poor. It is admirably adapted to grace the walls of the cottage, and no Protestant mechanic or labourer should be without it. The wood-cuts by which it is adorned render it a handsome as well as a most useful publication, and it is excellently well designed in all its departments.—Protestant Mayaziae. Mr. Crisp, the compiler of this admirable compendium of Protestant information, has conferred a benefit upon his countrymen which, we feel persuaded, will be extensively ap preciated. The intelligence embodied in this almanac is of the highest possible interest and importance. The Chrono logical Tables which it contains are very carefully drawn up. Every Protestant in the realm ought to possess a copy of this specimen of the Liverpool press. We have seldom seen a work of the kind so neatly executed. Every operative ought to purchase it in order to decorate the walls of his cottage with so useful a memento.—Liverpool Standard. .THE PROTESTANT ALMANACK.—We have much pleasure in being enabled to direct the particular attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column, announcing the publication of an almanack entitled as above. It has been compiled by our townsman, Mr. Josaph Crisp, and has been issued under the direct patoouage of the Protestant Association. As a calendar for the year it is entitled to much commendation, but the historical reminiscences and refe rences, with the articles contrasting " Popish Professions," and " Popish Practices," &c., &c., are the most valuable, and will be-productive of incalculable good if the almanack be extensively circulated. Every Conservative Association in England, Ireland, and Scotland ought to purchase large numbers; so that not only each member may have this record of popish fallibility and guilt, framed and glazed, to hang up in his dwelling, but that it may be widely circu lated among the less inquiring population of the country. To the agricultural poor, who have not the frequent opportu nities of hearing the discussions upon the nature of the popish creed which the denizens of the larger manufacturing and commercial towns enjoy, this almanack is calculated to prove of the highest interest and usefulness ; and as the price is only threepence, we do sincerely hope and confidently expect that its instruction will be extensively disseminated in such quarters.—Liverpool Mail. _ THE PROTESTANT ALMANACK.—We have before us a very neat and comprehensive abnanack for the year 1810, compiled by Mr. Joseph Crisp, of Liverpool, and certainly we have not met with a production lately which has so deci dedly met with our approbation. It is a complete ?indium in part%) of the history of Protestantism and the aggressions and persecutions of Rome. All that is distinguished, and which ought to be borne in mind, of both Protestantism and Popery. may be seen at a glance, and the memory refreshed by its contents. No Protestant ought to be without it, but it should, as from the extremely low price at which it is of fered it may, be found in the cottages of the poor, as well as in the halls of the rich. It does alike credit to the compiler and the printer, and we heartily recommend it to our readers. —Wigan Gazelle. THE PROTESTANT ALMANACK FOR THE YEAR 1840. This is - a " broad sheet" publicatiou, and it contains a variety of important information, connected with Protestantism and the opposition it has had to encounter. It is very cheap, and it ought to be purchased by every Protestant in the'United Kingdom, as it gives in a condensed form a great deal of use ful matter " by way of remembrance," and which they would do well to have stored in their memories.—DublinStale.sman.

Hibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as wall ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population , who are a large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it app ints Irish-speakino - Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. 3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far greater number of applications are received from them, than, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School skill submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plait is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child-- or, if not, will you not do it ? Lancashire Lord's Day Society. The sanctities of the Divine apyointment of the Lord's Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people— should combine in some effort (more powerful than court proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,) to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which should have for its object the amendment of public feeling and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as might have Christian courage to lift up their yoices in the deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans greSsion of the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. Church Pastoral Aid Society. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of this port. The Mariner's Church Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far.as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and flatmen. The Naval and Military lc Society, and Prayer Book and i-lo,:nily Society, Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the drew•e with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place ch board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the ;,ort, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse front all who are interested in the well-being of the • seamen, as their funds arc totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss. Trinitarian Bible Society. The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish faithful Protesta4 Ver.!!oux of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in.addition to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious person, as an cgent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions. Jewish Institution. The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen months' experience, it has amply answered the benevolent intentions of the promoters. While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren, the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. Much good is being done; but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the management of such schools, by supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra tuitously or at reduced prices. Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The name of this Society sufficiently explains its object. It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society - , andol these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries arc converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill Mission. Dingle Mission. The whole income of all the above Societies together, in the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than X3OOO. Surely there arc 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the above of which they approve ; and this alone would produce 1:5000. Let every one do something, be it ever so small, and the funds of rill will shew a vast increase at the end of 1840, when, God willing, 1 hopiagain to lay the finan cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information in my power respecting, the o perations and general effi ciency of all the above associations. Collecting Boxes and Cards may be had by any one who will kindly take charge of them. J. C.
