A CARD To the Nobility, Gentry, and Public at large. - THE opening of a New Year naturally excites thoproudest emotions of gratitude for the unprecedented patronage with which Messrs. ROWLAND and SON Ove been ho noured with respect,to their celebrated articlif, , viz., ROW LAND'S MACASSAR OIL, for the Hair—ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, for the Skin—and ROWLAND'S ODONTO, for the Teeth—each of which have obtained a celebrity pre eminently great. Messrs. R. and S., while they respectfully solicit a con tinuance of that patronage, earnestly caution the Public against Imitations of each. ROWLAND'S KALYDOR has the Name and Address of the Proprietors on the Government Stamp, and, in Red, on the Wrapper. ROWLAND'S ODONTO has the same on the Govern ment Stamp, which is affixed to each Box. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL is distinguished by their Names and Address on the Label, in Red, thus A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton Garden, And Counter-signed ALEX. ROWLAND. It is indispensably necessary to ask for "Rowland's." 20, Hatton Garden, London, Jan. 1, 1840. T HE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present d a y, an d more particularly in those of the past century, tha n a general d i sregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to h ea l t h an d enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their minds a nx i ous, unsteady, or sluggish; and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of 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 mi n d. A perse verance many thousands in its use has been the happy mea n s of relieving , and of restoring a great number 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 hm the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, o e a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing nu of symptoms commonly d enominated the NERVOUS. In c 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 reliev e those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deorable malady, are affected with any of those pre • that betray previous symptoms its approach, as the . various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness . , total impotency, barrenness, &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SRACU ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : M the valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame —the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, togethey with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a Fonsumptive h ' abit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. - It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives hat prover tensity which a good digestion requires. s and To the young it will afford lasting health, spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine y l o pri gild the t r t a h c autumn of declining years, and calmly and serene] ilt g the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West andln dies for nourishing and invig ora ti n g the nervous system acting as a general restorati ve on debilitated in constitutions, arising from bilio us com plai n t s contracted hot climates.

ROBERT LEICESTER, Secretary. AT a PUBLIC MEETING o f th e IN HABITANTS of the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL, held in the SES SIONS-HOUSE, on THURSDAY, the 9th day of January, 1840, called by the MAYOR, by public advertise Tent, in compliance with a requisition numerously and respictably signed, to take into consideration the propriety of IPetitioning the Le gislature for an alteration in the Laws affecting the importa tion of Foreign Corn, JOSHUA WALMSLEY, ESQ., MAYOR, IN THE CHAIR, On the motion of THOMAS THORNELY,ESq., M.P., seconded by WILLIAM EARLE, Esq., It was Resolved, That the experience of every succeeding year more clearly demonstrates the baneful operation of those restrictions on the importation of food, which unhappily are enforced by the laws of this country, as alike injurious to our commercial and manufacturing prosperity, and dangerous to our political and social safety. On the motion of WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq., seconded by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., It was Resolved, That these Laws, by preventing a regular and healthful ex change of our manufactures for the most important of all raw materials, and by forcing upon us, for the supply of our urgent wants in times of scarcity, the fitful and violent ope ration of occasional imports of grain, which can be paid for only by a sudden and excessive drain of gold—have been mainly instrumental in deranging our monetary system, in depressing trade and manufactures, and in subverting the equilibrium of the whole range of our commercial relations. On the motion of JAMES AIKIN. Esq., seconded by HENRY BOOTH, Esq., It was Resolved, That the Corn-laws have the double effect of raising the price of food in this country, and of reducing it in other countries, thereby acting at once as a tax on our productive industry, and a bounty on that of other nations, who, though once our customers, by our refusal to take their produce have been forced to become our competitors in trade; and who, notwithstanding the capital, skill, mineral wealth, and other great natural advantages possessed by us, are now sup plying. foreign markets with many articles formerly supplied exclusively by this country. On the motion of THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., seconded by VINCENT HIGGINS, Esq., It was Resolved, - • That the evils of these Laws are most appalling when we contemplate the injustice and misery which they inflict on the great mass of our population, by curtailing the demand for labour, and thereby reducing the rate of wages, by ex cluding good corn when most needed, except at high duties : because bad corn is at a low price, and thereby limiting the people to a pittance of unsound food, while other nations have abundance of the best, which they are ready to give in exchange for the products of our suffering industry. On the motion of THOMAS BLACKBURN, Esq., seconded by JAMES MULLENEUX, Esq., It was Resolved, That as the only real security for the peace and welfare of all social states, is, a community of interests between the people and the government, there is great danger as well as great injustice in Laws which interfere with the most sacred and inalienable right of every individual, to procure the ne cessaries of life by the honest exercise of those powers of body and mind which are his special and often his only pro perty. On the motion of CHARLES HOLLAND, Esq., seconded by JAMES MELLOR, ESQ., It was Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of the people respectfully but firmly, to represent to the Legislature, the hardships to which they have been so long subjected by a partial and ex clusive system, and to pray that such measures be adopted as may give immediate and effectual relief from the great and growing evils complained of, and thus secure the peace, pros perity, and happiness of all classes of the British people. On the motion of W. W. CURRIE, Esq., secon d e d by Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, It was Resolved, That petitions to both Houses of Parliament, embodying the foregoing resolutions, be adopted. On the notion of CHRISTOPHER RAWDON, Esq., seconded by G E ORGE LOCH, Esq., _ _ It teas Resolved, That the Petition to the House of Lords be forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant of the County and the Earl of Sefton ; that to the Commons, to the Members of the Borough for presentation, with a request that they will support the prayer of the Petition. On the motion of RICHARD SHEIL, Esq., seconded by FRANCIS JORDAN, Esq., It was Resolved, That an Anti-corn Law Association be formed in Li verpool, to consist of the Requisitionists, with power to add to their numbers. JOSHUA WALMSLEY, Mayor. On the motion of JoHN RossoN, Esq., carried by accla- mation, It was Resolved, That the cordial thanks of this Meeting are given to the Mayor for his able and impartial conduct in presiding over his meeting.

I AVI NG been a pp o i n t e d to take the Management of -1- various Societies connected with the Town of Liverool, I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and cle p arly 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 of this, it is an as certained fact, that out of the 30,000 names contained in the Liverpool Directory, only 1570 persons subscribe to any of the Public charities of the Town. I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va rious Societies, and shall be in attendance 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 following 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 unmitilated 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 eut.iejltlrr neu linp-the j a u ti d l i l ee t: ; la w lzur ar .4_ Anti g-1,. of private judgment aro tmight under ie er nie a d n the leri fre P e tu cir ii c l ul l ario?o t M ti e r t ur w p o re rd - fliar l 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, &c. 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 any 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 £11,000; and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. Hibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the im porlrish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as well ; 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 appoints Irish-speaking 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 shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan 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 appointment 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 could proceed from individual exertions, hovilever 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 voices 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 Bible Society, and Prayer Book and Homily 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 mews 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 on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, 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 from all who are interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are 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 Protestant Versions 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 agent, 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 proinote 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 Promotin J Christianity amongst the ews. 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, and of these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries are converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill Mission. Dingle Mission. Thr 'hole thae whole income of all the above Societies together, in e wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than £3OOO. Surely there are 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 th e above o f w hi c h they approve ; an d this alone would produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so small, and the funds of all will shevr a vast increase at the end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope again to l ay the finan cial state of th e v arious Societies before the p u bli c. In the mean time, I shall be most happy to g i ve every i n f ormation in my power respecting the operations and general effi ciency of all the above associations. Collecting Boxes and Cards may be had by any one who will kindly take eharge of them, J. C. LIVERPOOL DOMESTIC MISSION SOCIETY.

The present immense demand is a satisfactory and sure test of the estimation in which the Stove is held by those who have experienced the pure and salutary warmth and comfort it diffuses.

AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their-approbation of this GREAT DISGOVER Y, by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for thevery first time, introduced to the notice of the bon vivant: of the northern parts of this great-Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter intiany detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may he voucht#Ahat it is composed of the best materials, without any iitulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Tire, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by age. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of tast e every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

ART ov COOKERY AMONGST THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. --The aborigines of Australia are often driven for subsistence to the most wretched food, as snakes and other reptiles, grubs, lizards, and the larvae of the white ant. When they do obtain better food, they prepare it with more care than might be expected. In cooking fish, they wrap it in soft bark, and place it in hot ashes. By this process an acid from the bark is communicated to the fish, which gives it a most agreeable flavour. Mr. Ogle, in his account of the co lony of Western Australia, describes the native mode of cook ing a kangaroo steak :—" It is placed in a scooped outstone, which is readily found in the streams, and pressed down by heavy stones on the top of it ; the heat is applied beneath anti round the first top stone; at the critical moment the stones are quickly removed, and the steak appears in its most sa voury state." O ' CONNELL AND THE WOMEN or ENGLAND—O'Con neII has intimated that he will ho nour t h e M anchester anti-corn-law dinner with his presence ! What, can it be possible that a father, a brother, a h us b an d , an E nglishman, possessing the slightest feeling of resp ec t f or t h e mother who bore him, can deem it an lIONOUIt to sit at the table with the man who has slandered that mother? Can it be possible that Englishmen are grown so callous—so utterly indifferent to the fair fame of those who ought to he dearer, far dearer, to them than life itself ? Judging by our own feelings, we should say the thing cannot be. What reception would an Englishman receive on coming to Ireland if lie had dared so grossly —so infamously —to calumniate the women of Ire land? The green fields of Erin would be too hot to hold him—the popular indignation would be loudly and univer sally expressed, nay, we would venture to say that he would be hooted and pelted from one extreme of Ireland to the other. B u t h e i s t o h onour (? these gentry with his pre sence. Oh, how the truculent mendicant will sneer at them. How in the midst of his mendacious harangues and fulsome blarney, he most despise them at heart—how he will chuckle when he thus sees persons beaming the name, but lacking the feelings of Englishmen, fawn upon and cringe to him wh o has charged their mothers, their wives, their sisters, with that which all other men in the world would consider an in sult only to be wiped out by the blood of the miscreant tray queer. --Limerick Standard. 4
