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 numbei of cases relieved by the Society, of late, has been 2176, comprising upwards of 8000 individuals. In addition to fond, 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, to be numerous and urgent ; and the funds of the Society being exhausted, the Committee have no resource 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.

ADDRESS TO THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL. TT is with considerable diffidence that the COM MITTEE of the CLARENCE HALL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY thus appeal to the sympathies of the Public on be half of the above Institution. Nothing but the extreme neces sity of this critical juncture could possibly induce them to do so. It is now pretty generally known that the Clarence Hall has been erected at a cost of £3500, principally by a number of working men, with a view to afford to the operative classes the means of accommodation for moratalad - mental improve ment, and is now occupied by tbperemperance Society on Monday and Wednesday evenin - ''heing devoted to the propa gation of temperance princi s t and Saturday evenings to literary and musical ent inments, which h ave hitherto been patronised in a nner worthy their great object — namely, the elevatig f man. Nevertheless, there are liabili ties to a serionfrafimunt 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 be devoted to the 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 a 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 Wood has been done, and many of both sexes reclaimed from habits of intemperance, and rendered, together with their families, comfortable and happy. Yet much, very much, remains to be done; therefore, as the RuPPly has not been adequate to the demand, the importance of the principle we seek to establish, and the magnitude of the evils we wish to destroy, imperatively demand increased exer tions. We make the present appeal in the fondest hopes of ultimate success. The philanthropist can never enage in a more noble and praiseworthy undertaking. What can be more commendable than to befriend poor fallen and degraded man ? The physical condition of the people cannot be materially im proved, so long as the homes and practiCes of the working _ "ullv urge classes are so morally impure upon all to assist and render this a ( 4 , love.

LIVERPOOL CHURCH OF ENGLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 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 are hundreds 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 clergymen we look for aid, not for ourselves only, but for others whom we long to see trained to follow in our steps ; and to you we appeal to make our wishes known through that press which has ever been ready to help us. One way 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 re sorted to. Men feel more and more the value of that power 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, many books for the use of our Schools which we should be glad to procure, many aids to the carrying out of such systems of instruction as 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 affording much valuable in struction, of answering many questions, defending cer tain positions, and 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 working 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 communicate. 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 shall be disposed to communicate with us, by furnishing to us information, and by aiding us in the operations on which we feel able at once to enter, we shall heartily thank them for the token of their good ill, and trust in due time to be brought into closer and more intimate association with them. " Set forward in a determination to make this Institute to tell on your qualifications and on your efficiency as 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 own 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 POOR.—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 probably. 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 snm 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. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL 'WAY.—On Friday evening, about half-past six o'clock, the afternoon down express train ran down one of the company's signal men at the Cheshunt station on the above line, causing his immediate death. The man, whose name is George Riggett, appears to have been in the act of crossing the line with a signal lamp at the time the train was passing the station. MELANCHOLY CASE OF MURDER.—A most lamentable occurrence has taken place at Caldbeck, the particulars of which have not yet reached us. There is no doubt, how ever, that a highly respectable woman, of the name of Sarah Stalker, has been murdered by her husband, Wm. Stalker, a small farmer and shopkeeper in the above vil lage. An inquest was held yesterday (Thursday) after noon, by Mr. Carrick, coroner, which, we understand, terminated the same evening, when a verdict of " wilful murder by strangulation" was returned by the jury. The husband had been confined in Dunstan Lodge Lunatic Asylum from February to August last, when, at the urgent solicitation of his unfortunate wife, he was dis charged.—Carlisle paper. SUGAR.—The monthly circular - of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewsbury thus alludes to the operations in the pro duce markets at the close of the year :—" The business transactions of the past month have been extensive, both for colonial and foreign productions ; at the commence ment of the month the market was quiet and prices gave way a little, but as the trade came forward to make their accustomed purchases for this season of the year a large business was done, and prices were fully sustained. The article sugar, which may always be considered the pulse of our working population, shows an increase for the nine months ending in October of 6,627 tons over that of the cor responding period for the previous y ear , no t w ith s t an di ng th e high price at which it has been ruling. In reviewing the trade with which we are more intimately connected for the past year we find that there has been a large and steady business, but an almost entire absence of speculation, and now that such increased facilities of communication are open to parties at a distance to supply. themselves with stock, it in some measure does away with speculation. We look forward to a large and steady demand for the present year, and a rise in prices in some of our principal articles." IS POPERY CHANGED ?—A letter from the Pope was read last week, in the Irish Roman Catholic Chapels. It announced " to the Catholic universe an indulgence in. the form of a jubilee." The Pope says that he has " re solved to imitate the example which our predecessors have given us in the announcement of their Pontificates, by opening with apostolic liberality to the faithful of Jesus Christ, the celestial treasures of indulgencies ; and therefore gives a plenary indulgence with regard to all their sins, to all who in Rome visit certain churches, and shall pray there (within a time given) with devotion, during some space of time ; and shall fast on the Wednes day? Friday, and Saturday of one of these weeks, and during the period shall confess their sins, and reverently receive the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist ; and shall give alms to the poor, each one according to his devotion; and to all others dwelling wheresoever it may be, out of the aforesaid city of Rome, who shall twice visit the churches appointed by the ordinaries of the se veral places or their vicars, or by those who have in these parts the care of souls, or any one of them during a like period of three weeks, which will be determined by the above-named authorities, and shall perform with devotion the other works above e,humerated." 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 him to visit England, 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, states that he is well versed in the Italian, German, and French languages, as well as verer branches of - s - cieitce. These are extracts from but a few of his numerous testimonials. His zeal is, we believe, equal to his talents ; and, with a view to do full justice to his pupils, he has limited the number to thirty. The cer tificates of his birth, and municipal privileges are very in teresting. PORTRAIT OF THOMAS REVELL, ESQ.—On Wednesday last, a dinner was given at the Low-hill Coffee-house, to Thomas Revell, Esq., by the jurymen of the Halmote Court, commonly called the West Derby Copyhold Court. Nearly the whole of the jurymen were present, and several other guests. George Whitley, Esq., deputy steward of the manor, presided on the occasion. After dinner, R. M. Beckwith, Esq., on behalf of the jurymen, presented Thomas Revell, Esq., with a splendidly-executed portrait, accompanied with the following appendix, in penman ship :—" Portrait of Thomas Revell, Esq. Presented by the officers and members of the Jury of the Halmote Court of West Derby, in the county of Lanca4ter, to Thomas Revell, Esq., on the 30th day of December, 1816, as a mark of their esteem for the exemplary ability, faithfulness, and urbanity, with which, for a period of thirty years, he discharged the duties of foreman to them.

Beckwith, Samuel Lunt, Thomas Crosbie, Jolm Hughes, James Knight, Thomas Hewitt, James Wensley, Thomas Stananought, George Atkinson, Robert Barlow, and John Kilshaw." The portrait, which was painted in the first style, was by Mr. Cornelius Henderson, of this town, and the appendage, which was engrossed on vellum and placed in a gilt frame, was exe cuted with great taste and ingenuity, and contained fifteen different characters. Mr. Revell appeared greatly affected and replied in . a brief but appropriate speech. 2. drinking the health of the sub-committee, consisting of William Walthew, Esq., and Peter Youd, Esq., appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the presentatim!, the company separated highly ,gratified with the evening's THE DESTITUTION IN IRELAND AND BCOTLAND, In our last publication we gave a report of the proceed ings of a meeting of the congregation of St. Jude's Church for the purpose of raising funds for the relief of our desti tute fellow-countrymen in Ireland and in Scotland. 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 contributions have since been received, making the total amount up to last night £BlO, of which £135 have been remitted for the relief of the sufferers in 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 Ireland 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 offerer/ 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, is 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 of 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. Cotesworth, R. W. Preston, J. 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 all 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 within 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, a the Underwriters' Rooms, we gather the following : Sailed outwards, 1844 Ditto, 1845 Ditto, 1846 Vessels. British. Foreigi . 2956 1028 . 2860 1232 . 2831 1256 British. Foreign. 869,359 391,734 898,198 476,38► 878,955 487,551 There has thus been a decrease in the number of Bri tish vessels from 1844 to 1846 of 125, and an increase of foreign vessels of 228. The British tonnage has slightly fallen off, whilst foreign has increased nearly a fourth. The clearings for the following ports during the past year will be interesting : Boston .. Brazil....

Still this increase does not' appear to have been caused so much by the additional' favor wit h 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 sucess 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, w a s 1,813 tons; against 1,500 tons, 1845, and 1,112 tons in 1844. The stock in Liverpool on the 31st December last, watt 440 tons, against 270 tons in 1845, and 160 tons in 1844. BEEF.—A limited supply of the new cure has bees received, which has sold at 80s. to 855., for prime mess. The trade has been brisk. The importations for 1845 have been 25,606 tierces, 9,567 barrels, and 575 half barrels, or equal to 32,100 tierces; against 16,323 tierces, 3,163 barrels, 909 half barrels, equal to 18,703 tierces, hi 1845. Our stock, on the 31 s t u l t., was 2,750 tierces,_ against 3,800 tierces last year; chewing a consumpti on o f 33,000 tierces, in 1846, against 18,000 tierces, i n 1845 . PORK.—O wing 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. , 44 BACON.—This article is increasing in demand, anti 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 Ireland, and the article sent back has brought 565. per cwt. Belfast is worth 58st. to 60s.—an advance of 12s. over last year LARI An improved demand. The imports for the year are 21,184 brig., 67,338 kegs. BUTTER, from the States, begins to excite increased at tention. The price realised on the 31st was 82s. 61. American, and 70s. Canadian. The dealers state that OW article needs better getting up. Tim STARVING TRISR.—It will be seen from Stlt advertisement, that on Sunday next a sermon will be preached at St. Saviour's church ; after which a collection will be made on behalf of the destitute Irish. We sin cerely hope that the appeal of the reverend Incumbent — who is one of the most eloquent preachers in the tows —will meet with a liberal response. GRATIFYING PRESENT.—We believe that the congrei gation of St. Bartholomew's Church, Naylor-street, wilt present this evening to their respected pastor, the Rev. Thomas Dover, a purse of upwards of ninety sovereigns; Taking into consideration the humble class of persons of which by far the 'greater portion of this congregation ie composed, this manifestation of Christian kindnos and gratitude is one of the most liberal we ever had the plea sure to record. THE PutLuAnmoNte SOClETY.—Yesterday evening, the Committee of the Auxiliary Philharmonic Societe, and their musical friends, to the number of fifty, partook of an excellent dinner, in the assembly-room of the Adel phi Hotel; 'Which was splendidly decorated for the occa sion. We need scarcely say that every thing was recherche in quality, and served up in Mr. Radley's ac customed style. Mr. W. .Hetherington ably occupied the chair, and Mr. John Humfrey was equally efficient as vice-chairman. After the dessert, the usual loyal toast were drank with enthusiasm ; followed by many othey* relating to the society and its members, which were eloquently responded to. The grand treat of the evening was, however, the singing, which was most scientific and masterly, in solos, glees, &c. The evening's amusements were kept up with the utmost harmony and conviviality until a late hour. DINNER LAST NIGHT.—A splendid and sumptuous dinner was given by Mr. M. Hime yesterday evening, at Mr. Whiteman's, the Brunswick Hotel. The chair wa occupied by Mr. John Williams, and Mr. H. E. Hime, tff Church-street, filled the vice -cheat.: After the cloth had been removed, a number of toasts were proposed and responded to ably and eloquently. Amongst them were the following :—The Queen—the Queen Dowager — Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family—G. W. Tobias, Esq., and prosperity to the Fitts —The Founder of the Feast: may he continue in, the same course he has hitherto done, and may his Kerte through life bring every happiness that can enrich and elevate the human mind—Mr. Lloyd—Mr. and Mrs- Hime—The Press (in connection with Mr. Walker, of the STANDARD)—Mr. Spears—Town and Trade of Li verpool—The Chairman The Vice-Chairman —ll3* fairest part of creation, the Ladies.
