Divine Service to commence at Seven o'clock. This Society has been engaged for twenty-four years in mi nistering to the necessities of the sick and destitute, and, in common with other charitable institutions, has found abundant opportunities of usefulness amidst the large and increasing number of poor in this populous town. The average annual number of cases relieved by the Society, of late, has been 2176, comprising upwards of 8000 individuals. In addition to foed, articles of bedding and clothing are given where most needed. Its visitors endeavour, while relieving . bodily wants, to promote the spiritual welfare of the poor, and many opportunities of Christian usefulness are open to them in their visits. The high price of provisions and severity of the weather, com bined with the many cases of weakness and destitution arising from the late prevailing sickness, cause the applications for relief, at present i •to be numerous and urgent ; and the funds of the Society being exhausted, the Committee have no resource a but in an urgent appeal to those whom God has blessed with abundance to supply them with the necessary means. This appeal, they trust, will be responded to, so that at this season of Christian joy and thankfulness they may be enabled to cheer the abodes of misery, and to cause the hearts of the destitute to rejoice, through the timely relief they are enabled to supply.

SIR,—I was in hopes that on this day you would have had to inform my fellow-teachers that this institute was established on a plan similar to the one that has .worked so usefully in London. I believe there sre huntlreds of teachers in Liverpool who are anxiously looking for the opportunity of meeting, as members of the Church of England, to consider how best to carry on their work in accordance with their beloved church. To our clergym look we _ for aid, not for ourselves only, but for - Others whom we long to see trained tobollow in our steps ; and to you we appeal to make our wises known through that press which has ever been ready to help us. One wit) , suggests itself. Will you be so kind as to print the following extracts from the introductory lecture delivered in the metropolis by the Rev: J. Harding, M.A., and thus oblige many others, as well as A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER. January 4, 1847. " Association and combination constitute the chief fea tures of our day. For good and for ill they are equally r( sorted to. Men feel more and more the value of that which they gain in union one with another; and our In stitute is an attempt to bring that power into operation for the benefit of our Sunday schools, in connection with the Church of England. We want the opportunity of co-operation as members of the Church of England. There are many topics which, as Churchmen, we feel to be of importance, and information concerning which we desire to collect and to communicate. " There are many plans which, as Churchmen, we should feel anxious to try, m an y b oo k s f or th e use of our Schools which we should be glad to procure, many aids tc the carrying out of such systems of instructio n ass . we con sider congenial with, or indispensable to, the design of Church of England Schools. "So again as to the Church—her history, her princi ples, and her practices —we hope that our library and our lectures will be the Means of af- brding much valuable in struction of answering many questions, def en di ng cer tain positions, mid clearing up some obscurities, which our formularies and our Church-system necessarily in volve. And whatever, by books or otherwise, we can procure, of useful direction on all points touching the Sunday School Teacher's personal labours, we shall con sider as of primary importance to communicate." " Moreover it will be especially endeavoured to obtain such practical suggestions in reference to the workino. of Sunday schools, as the experience of those who have 'had the fullest opportunity to make their observations, and to form sound opinions, qualifies them to communicatq. We shall hope to establish correspondence with our bro ther churchmen labouring in distant parts of the same field with ourselves. And so far as any of them sluff be disposed to communicate with us, by furnishing to u information, and by aiding us in the operations on 10' feel r' we feel able at once to enter, we shall heartily thank then for the token of their good will, and trust in due time to be brought into closer and more intimate association witl them. " Set forward in a el __etermination to make this Instituti to tell on your qualifications and on your efficiency a Sunday School teachers. Let there be a body of practical intelligent persons, using and improving the few advan. tages we are able at present to provide; and their owl; sense of the value of those advantages, as well•as others' perception of its beneficial tendencies, will strengthen our hands, increase our numbers, confirm our claim to the confidence and co-operation of our brethren, enlarge our means of doing good, and make our Institute an addi tional instrument for the honour of God, the service of the church we love, and the welfare of immortal souls." THE Poon.—The parish offices in Fenwick-street have for several weeks presented an extraordinary scene of con fusion, owing to the immense number of applicants for relief, but yesterday the appeals were more numerous than ever. The street was quite impassable. No fewer than 1500 families, representing, on an average, three per sons were yesterday relieved, of whom prob a bly three fourths were Irish. The relief dispensed during the day, up to six o'clock last night, (and the distribution had then by no means ceased,) was 2300 rations of bread, and 2700 soup tickets, in addition to a large sum in money. The burdens on the ratepayers will be immensely increased by this large outlay, but we see no means at present of light ening the pressure. M. Du PuGET.—This truly talented foreigner, who, as announced elsewhere, will re-open his select boarding and day school for young gentlemen, on the 20th instant, has testimonials of the highest character, with the perusal of which we have been extremely gratified ; and his suc cess hitherto in developing the respective abilities of his scholars, justifies the high opinion with which his attain ments, and aptitude in conveying them to others, have impressed themselves upon the minds of his friends. M. Puget wasborn in the Canton de Vaud (in Switzerland) of noble parents; but the recent political and religious commotions in that country induced lum to visit EniralT, and, until more peaceable times, to make it his home. He was, for eight years, a student with the celebrated Pestalozzi, and for four years , professor and pre ceptor of mathematics under him. Baron Lefroy thus expresses his high opinion of M. Du Puget's - talents :—" He has a vigourous and energetic mind, and from the circumstance of his' having contrived to make all the boys under his tuition more or less mathe maticians, and to know what they do know with great precision, I consider him a peculiarly good teacher." The Rev. A. Newcombe bears testimony to his religious character ; and• Lord de Vesei, s ‘ tates.that he is well versed in the Italian, Gentian, and French langrulgcs, as well as th- I in scientific arithmetic, algebra. mathematics. and the se- Africa Boston Brazil.

The result of the day's contributions we had the pleasure of recording as amounting to £5OO ; and we are happy now to state that further contributionh have since been received, making the total amount up to last night £BlO, of whiah £135 have been remitted for the relief of the sufferers ha sums of £lO each. From our columns this day abundant evidence may be deduced that the state of things which prompted the noble effort of the Rev. Canon M'Neile and his congregation is far from evincing any present, or the prospect of any very speedy improvement. In Ireldnd the misguided population, driven from one extreme to the other—from the extreme of absolute dependence upOn the soil to that of absolute dependence upon the wages offered by the public works going on—are in most districts neglecting the cultivation of the crops and deserting their more legitimate avocations. The dire prospect of a decreased growth, not only of the potato root, but of every other edible during the coming twelve months, if flashing upon every reflective mind ; and, if something is not done to turn the people of Ireland from this infatua tion, we fear that their dependence upon the humanity or Englishmen is destined to continue for some time to come. We regret to say that the condition of our poor uncom plaining fellow-countrymen in Scotland is alike unim proved. This is not a time in which Christian men ought to pause in the good work they have undertaken. We know that neither the congregation of St. Jude's nor their valued pastor, are likely so to pause. To the latter gentleman, vilified as he has been —accused of bigotry and intolerance towards his Roman Catholic fellow-coun trymen—it must be gratifying that his own congregation has acted, and is acting so nobly in the crisis before us. The Acting Committee appointed—Messrs. C. Bell, Wm. Jones, C. Cotes wor th, R. W. Preston, X. H. Web ster, and the Revs. Hugh M`Neile and Drummond An derson—will be happy to receive contributions. It may be satisfactory to subscribers to know that the strictest care is exercised in the distribution of the funds. In aH cases the remittances have been sent to clergymen in the neighbourhood of the distressed localities, or to personal friends of members of the Acting Committee, to whom the real circumstances of the various cases of destitution were known, rather than to the Relief Committees. In most cases, they have gone to support soup shops, or other methods of relief already established, and which, but for such assistance, must have been discontinued. SAILINGS FROM LIVERPOOL FOR FOREIGN PORTS. From a valuable document compiled by Mr. Court, of the Underwriters'Rooms, we gather the following : Sailed outwards, 1844 . Ditto, 1845.. Ditto, 1846.. . There has thus been a decrease in the number of Bri tish vessels from 1844 to 1846 of 125, and an increase of foreigvessels of 228. The British tonnage has slightly fallen whilst foreign has increased nearly a fourth. The clearings for the following ports during the past year will be interesting : N essels. Tons. British.

From the annual circulars before us, connected wits this branch of import, it appears that the provisions sup. plied us from America, have this year been in increased demand, and of improved quality. Still this increase does not appear to have been caused so much by the additional favor with which they are received by our working popu lation, as by the decrease of supply from Ireland, and the consequent advance in prices. On this point, the circular of Mr. George Badenach, one of our most influential bro kers in this trade, states, with respect to the article of American Beef, that "several attempts have been made to introduced this article among the manufacturing popula tion in this country; but it has not hitherto been succss ful." We shall briefly give the remarks of this, and the able circular of Messrs. Wm. Gardner and Co., with re spect to the various articles. CHEESE.—The import and consumption continues to increase. The import for the last six months of 1846 is 829 casks, 48,888 boxes, against 748 casks, 29,898 boxes, last year... The quantity, duty paid, in 1846, was 1,811 tons, against 1,500 tons, 1845, and 1,112 tons in 1844. The stock in Liverpool on the 31st December last, was 440 tons, against 270 tons in 1845, and 160 tons in 1844. BEEF.—A limited supply of the new cure has bee* received, which has sold 'at 80s. to 855., for prime mess. The trade has been brisk. The importations for 1846 have been 25,606 tierces, 9,567 barrels, and 575 half barrels, or equal t o 32,100 tierces ; against 16,323 t i erces. 3,163 barrels, 909 half barrels, equal to 18,703 tierces, in 1845. Our stock, on the 31st ult., was 2,750 tierces, against 3,800 tierces last year; shewing a consumption of 33,000 tierces, in 1846, against 18,000 tierces, in 1815. PORR.—Owing to the indifferent quality and short sup ply from Ireland this year, this article is being forced into consumption. Some of the new cure from New York has brought 645. The import for the year is 15,764 brls. against 7844 in 1845, and 7939 brls. in 1844. The stock on the 31st ultimo was 5300 brls. against 4800 brls. last year. I BACON.—This article is increasing in demand, and from America little has arrived, although the supply from. Ireland is expected to be only one-third the usual quantity. Many curers have gone out from.lreland, and the article sent back has brought 565. per cwt. Belfast is worth 584. to 60s.—an advance of 12s. over last_year. LARD.—An improved demand. The imports for the year are 21,184 brls., 67,338 kegs. BurrEn, from the States, begins to excite increased at The price realised on the and 70s. Canadian. The dealers state article needs better getting up. W 1917 10 9 2038 6 9 Charles Horsfall, late of Everton, Liverpool, per Thomas Thoma s B.

It is now pretty generally known that the Clarence Hal has been erected at a cost of £3500, principally. by a numbe of working men, with a view to afford to the operative classes the means of accommodation for moral and mental improve ment, and is now occ u pi e d . b y t h e Temperance Society or Monday and Wednesday evenings, being devoted to the propa. literary and musical entertainments, which have hithertc been patronised in a manner worthy their great object— namely, the elevation of man. Nevertheless, there are habili. ties to a serious amount still resting on the building, limiting the efforts and retarding the progress of the Society, to re deem it from which ? the more effectually to extend their sphere of action, and in order that the Hall may in reality be come the property of the public, and b e d evo t e d to t h e cause of human improvement in perpetuity, the Committee have re solved upon the universal course of canvassing the inhabitants of every house in the town for pecuniary assistance. The above step may appear ulterior; however, necessity dic tates it, therefore it must be. The Committee cherish the most lively hopes that the undertaking will be responded to with an alacrity commensurate with its paramount import ance, seeing that intemperance is the occasion of much social and domestic misery, depravity, and vice, the prolific source of the worst of crimes, and one of the greatest barriers to the happiness and intelligence of the people that ever afflicted the family of man. Sufficient proofs of these alarming facts are exhibited in the cadaverous and emaciated appearance, neg lected homes, and crime-stained practices of the unhappy vic tims of this truly awful state of things ; and numerous are the widows and orphans who are thus abandoned to the world, to share its sympathies, or sink beneath the sorrows which op press them. The Committee feel deeply grateful to those who have contributed to the progress of Temperance on former oc casions, and beg to state that much good has been done, and many of both sexes reclaimed from habits of intemperance, and e o7 i P t l I s P i we wish rendered, together with th e i r f am i l i es, comfortable and happy. Yet much, very muc h, r ema i ns to be done; therefore, as the hasly e rni principle ip no tl t eo u beendeesseektr o} ~tadequateimperatively e r establish,a! toi ytheand y demand,emthe and thenc e increasedmagnitudei po importance exer tions. We make the present appeal in the fondest hopes of ultimate success. The philanthropist can never engage in a more noble and praiseworthy undertaking. What can be more commendable thnn to befriend poor fallen and degraded man? The physical condition of the people cannot be materially im proved, 8Q long as the homes and practices pf the working classes are so morally impure.- - We mu, obr,l i espertfully urge love.
