W ILLIAM HESKETII. l ITORS Rev. JAMES HASSALL. TN addition to the Charitable Institutions already existing 1 in Liverpool and the neighbourhood, for the relief of the various wants of the poorer classes, it is proposed to establish a FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM. In. the Metropolis, such an institution is amongst the splendid monuments of its public munificence, and has been the means of rescuing thousands of orphan females from the paths of misery and vice, of implanting the principles of Christian knowledge, and sending them forth into the world respectable and:useful members of society. To what extent 'a similar institution may be established here must depend on the bounty bestowed upon it. Children are ever objects of the dearest social interest. If poor, that interest increases in proportion to the penury of thei r condi tion—if not mil:, poor, but patentless, their state of destitu tion excites still greater sympathy, and, in a corresponding degree, will their claim s be estimated for support and pro tection, upon those whom God has blessed with the ability to relieve them. - Suffer little chiblren to come .unto me," evinced the opecial regard Of our Blessed Saviclur, who at the same time declared " of such is the kingdom of Heaven." It is also his assurance that he , who receives one- of such- little children in my name reeeiveth me." The Psalmist repeat edly sings the praises of God as the helper and father of the fatherless, and " to visit the fatherless in their affliction" is pronounced by St. James to be one of the graces of " pure work and und e fil ed religion. " Stith p o werfu are the l incentives t o our exertions in this cif Christian charity. Should its petition for encou ragement be met by the plea of too many similar requisitions, let us remember that we are enjoined " not to be weary in Well doing," and " to do good whenever we have an oppor tunity." As soon as sufficient funds are raised, it to commence with t wen t y or thirty pupils, by taking a proposed is house for the pu r p ose i n Toxteth Park, th at being considered the most The a n d h ea l thy situation. the children will be brought up in the iples of Establi s h e d Church, and will receive a suitable princeducati the on to fit the m f or domestic service. At a competent age, they will be apprenticed, as in the London .A.syltun, as servants in the families of subscribers, Phyeor in other respectable families. It will also bean important ct . ,tO, watch over their future progress, and to promote their continual welfare, when deserving. With this view, when under the necessity of changing their places, they will be assisted in procuring others, and temporary accommoda tion -will be afforded them, if practicable—thus keeping them under the constant guardianship of the Institution.

T HE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war ;•in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, an certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be .ohtainett from ; China for a very considerable period, a great. rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. .per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d• per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to-this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to,.allnw his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. • 111c : Iate,:great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teasty the ,trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of .6s. 9d. :per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d.. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.

Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no that country,. for, at the least, b t i % li e t l y v . e o t e ith ntire stock of consumable ' m ti o ie nt t h r s ad ; e a o n i d ie a n s in t g he w • • will b e exhausted before that period, tea in Great Britain there is little doubt but tea will advance . daily.

They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, h ea t, or pressure ; i t is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and ren d er i ng the operation of extraction unnecessary. 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.

We have read many works upon the same subject, but none with so much pleasure or so much instruction as we have derived from that now before us. Mr. Ogle's work is a great and valuable accession to the store we already possess of colonial information. To all who have either motive or inclination to emigrate, we can truly recommend its perusal. The map of the colony is the best extant, and the views of some of • the settlements are highly picturesque."—:Salisbu r y Herald. "The most valuable, because the most practically useful por tion of this work, is that copious department which is devoted to an account of the actual condition of the colony of Western Australia, or, as it is better and more specifically designated, Swan River. This account is compiled and drawn up with so much care, and from such apparently unquestionable sources of information, that it may be safely depended upon as a ground for the adoption of individual views as to the adaptation of the colony to the wants and circumstances of the various classes of persons who may be contemplating emigration."— New Monthly. "To those who were either resent at Mr. Ward's motion upon the subject of 'emigration' in the last session, or to those who have read the able debate which that motion occasioned, the work of Mr. Ogle respecting the colony of Western Aus tralia must prove exceedingly interesting. It is a compila tion of facts which seem to have been collected with great care ; and if the authorities upon which Mr. Ogle relies be trustworthy, no one who reads this book can entertain the slightest doubt that the Western Australian colony presents the greatest advantages to the emigrant, whatever may be his circumstances."—Morning Chronicle.

AND GENERAL C HEARTS RESOLVED AND HANDS PREPARED, THE BLESSINGS THEY ENJOY TO GUARD.-SMOLLBT, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1840. TO THE PUBLIC OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. HAVING been app o i n ted to take th e M anagement 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 E 4 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, that there is not one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes to any of the charities of the town; and not one in ten (whose names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely the name of one appears who might not subscribe something. 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-defenceall who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the uninitilated 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 alegiance 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, &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 £ll,OOO, 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 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 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 Hib ern i an 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- Will ciety tholic isdeu n ehiln o e t t sal Eryo h evf e , ee l x p rtt hyipi eae l snt r e e sdet l eol a uidc n er ii d et Ntyvy b hx y joasol ree s ga u isi vapa.cebli abided est : hdui afforded supporting yh s i;o u a u c l ti l rh i be ile a c xiporereSnei read it tholic Parents. y the in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly eiamination 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, 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 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 schdols 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 crews 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 eightee n months' experience, it has ampl y 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; r but the funds are so inadequate, that unless f iends 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, notonly 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 Wlission. 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 th an £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 the above of which they approve ; and this alone would produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase at the end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope aga i n to lay the finan cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the mean time, I shall be most happy to give e very i n f ormat i on in my power respecting the operations and general effi ciency of all the above association s . Collecting Boxes and Cards may be had b y any one yho ill kindly take charge of them. J. C. &alit)? Ii EXTENSIVE SALE OF ROOM PAPERS. By Mr. T.

MILK PUNCH ! - - THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a centurv, - ,been duly appreciated at 'CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the-former place where the original projector of this &lectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, 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 the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, 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 Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendent 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 taste 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.

Liverpool, November, 1839. T HE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and 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 anxious, 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 mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, 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 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 commonly 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 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 deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barr enness . & c . B u t the relief the- CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : 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, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on a ll the calamitous symptoms of a consu m pti ve habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and sme ll, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and 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 will not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract 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 In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, reproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

TADDRESS FROM THE PROPRIETOR TO THE PUBLIC. EN years have now el a p se d s i nce this Magazine was first started ; and the Proprietor thinks that he will not be liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the public. The Magazine which bears his name was ushered into the world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary announcement ; and it has, with constantly increa s i ng suc cess, worked its wa y onward to 1840, solely by the public favour, accorded to its und en i a bl e h onesty of criticism, its unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the literary talent which lie, without vanity, may say it has always displayed from the tbe3inning. The stirring period in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating course, could be always counted upon, whether as ally or enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust to the numerous contributors of the Magazine —and the list comprises men of the highest talent in every department of literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to its avowed party feelings If its success were attributed wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It would be invidious to select any names ; but to all persons ever so slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de served eminence and distinction will immediately occur; and what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of party advocacy. The Proprietor has not lost (except by death, which, alas ! in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his original contri butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes, therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume the character of a political writer; but, in common with all who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that an eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may be anticipated from the seed. sown by the Whigs during ten years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the same right onward course in the " forties" which it has main tained in the " thirties," turning neither to the right hand or to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and our country. All who are connected with it feel that they have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed r idle or insincere; their conduct in years past affording a . fai guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to come. Under these circumstances the Proprietor look s f w nu it m h b m er or o e f t v h o a l n ui h n o e r , b t o o n a ev s e ti r_ ll i t n u c ,en re t as y_ ing tn c l ig i u c tit , o is n. ma T g t a ie . they cannot obtain the z ine m h i a n s d e s x o t f en m de a d u , y o t p o p c o n s m es m , f e r n o c m ing th s e u i r bs e c o r s i t p , ti a o n ns ole a ct w io n n rk i of which, without considerable expense, a complete set.
