And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum. MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respet fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 38, SICEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it 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 rendering 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 i s we ll 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 de ca y. T o iose so affected, MODS. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

HAVING been appointed to take the Management of various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool, I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly before you. The very little support which even the most favoured of them have received, considering the wealth and importance of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their objects and views not having been prominently brought be fore all classes of the Inhabitants. I may just state, in corroboration 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 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 ly letter, directed NV 161, Postorlice, Liver TCAPCIN CLOAKS.

The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as wall ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population, who arc 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 aprints 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 ?

LEAP YEAR.—The following is extracted froth an old vo lume, printed in NW, entitled, " Courtship, Love, and Ma trimonie :"—" Albeit it is nose become a part of ,the corn mutt lave, in regard to social relations of lite, that, as often as every bissextile year doth return, th 6 ladycs have the sole privilege, during the time it continueth, of making love unto the men, which they doe either by worries or lookes, as unto them it seemeth proper.; and, moreover, no man will be en titled to the benetite of clergy who clothe refuse to accept the offeres of a ladye, or who clothe in any wise treate her pro posal withe slight or contumely." THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.—The prevailing topic of the day is the period fixed upon for the celebration of her Ma jesty's marriage. Many different days have been already named, but we believe there is now little doubt on the sub ject, her Majesty having herself decided that the ceremony shall take place on the 4th of February. We are informed that the wedding will be strictly private, and that it will be solemnized in the Chapel Royal, St. James's, those only be ing present whose official rank enables them to enjoy the privilege. After the performance of the ceremony her Ma jesty and her august husband will, it is affirmed, retire to Windsor during the royal honeyihoon.-3forning Herald. 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 multkndes, by the spirit of c o mme rce , o r o f 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. MASONIC FESTIVAL OF ST. Jonx.—A s we anticipated, a large number of the craft assembled at the Cestrian Lodge, held. at the Royal Hotel, in this city, on Friday last. Amon; the distinguished personages present were the Rt. Hon. Lord Viscount , Combermere, R.W.P.G.M. of-this province; J-; F. Maddock, Esq., RAV .D. P G. M ; Br. Sir Robt. Cun ..— . , liffe, Bart., of Acton ; and B. Cunliffe ; together with a num ber of Provincial Grand Officers for the Eastern Division of Lancashire; and other brethren of this city and neighbour ing Provinces. The Masonic business being concluded, up wards of sixty of the brotherhood sat down to a sumptuous banquet, provided for them by Brother Willoughby, which was served up in his usual style of elegance and taste. The evening,, as usual, was spent with all that order, conviviality, and good fellowship, which invariably distinguishes the fes- tive meetings of the craft.—The friends of the " mystic tic" will perceive, by an advertisement is another part of our paper, that Wednesday, the Sth of January, is fixed for re ceiving the Hon. Wellington Cotton, into the Cestrian Lodge ; on which occasion a large attendance of the Masonic Brethren is expected.—Chester Courant. EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH OF A FRENCH ROBBER.— The court of assize of Marseilles has been engaged for five days on the trial of seven robbers, who last spring, repeatedly stopped the dilligences in the neighbourhood of that city and Toulon, of which we gave accounts at the time. The facts were clearly proved ; one only was acquitted from some de fect in the evidence; five were sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for life, and the last to' the same punishment for five years. When the criminals were brought into court to hear judgment, some acts of violence being apprehended from them, they were all manacled, and attended by IS gendarmes ; while a guard of 36 men was stationed at the court outside. On the verdict being announced to them, Dur, one of the five con demned for life, rose, .and with a stentorian voice exclaimed, that it was an act o f i n ju s ti ce , adding, Coquing de ;ur(s Coquins de jures " Striking the bar in front of th j e dock with his irons on his hands, he broke it down at a single blow. Eight gendarmes attempted t o secure hi m ; b ut he overthrew them all, and seising the sword of one, drew it half out of its scabbard before it could be wrested from him. A long and desperate struggle ensued to remove the violent man from the court. This, however, could not be accomplished without the united strength of 12 gendarmes, who at last got him back into prison, where it was found impossible to put additional chains on his limbs until the keeper threatened to let loose a savage dog at him. Upon this Dor submitted. ATTACHMENT TO THE CHURCH.—Perhaps nothing could exhibit in a stronger point of view the liberal disposition of the farmers of Furness, and, at the same time, their firm and ardent attachment to the Established Church, and the reli gion of their forefathers, tin the circumstance of their sending, gratuitously, on Tuesday last, 105 horses and carts, in order to lay down stones for the rebuilding and enlarge ment of Rampside Chapel, on which occasion upwards of 100 loads of most excellent stone were laid doivn. What makes this circumstance more creditable to the farmers in question is, that all the above teams were furnished by an individual who neither resides in the chapelry, nor have ashy property in it, not in immediate connexion therewith. This was a pure emanation of good will, and is only one of the many characteristics of liberality and good feeling in which the farmers of Furness are sehlont equalled, and perhaps never surpassed. The farmers the chapelry have a separate day, or rather days, for the performance of a similar praiseworthy deed, but were kept back on this occasion, on • account of the great numbers so liberally coming forward from the adjoining neighbourhoo3.—Cumberland Pacquel. " THE DUKE."—We have repeatedly expressed our belief that one of the healthiest indications of the times is the uni- versal veneration in which the character of the Duke of Wel lington appears to beheld throkhout the country by persons of all denominations, and of all parties in politics. k : meet ing of the principal noblemen and gentlemen of mid Lothian and its vicinity, was, it appears, held on Tuesday last, at Edinburgh, for the purpose of setting on foot a subscription for a memorial in honour of the Duke of welling t on ; to be itiaTr win have , th a t ever } similar corn- considerable erected in some conspicucus part of the Scottish withoutmetro polis.notpi memora ti o ns of the services rendsred to th e country b y the city Great illustrious Duke, and will vie w,th each other in the value and a ppropriateness of their res;:eative memorials. Why should not Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, and other towns of similar importance, have their Wellington testimonials, as well as Edinburgh ? Surely the hint is wor thy of consideration.—United Scrrice Gazette. AN EXPLANATION POP, Tim " LI:AGUE."—A paragraph in the Morning Herald of Monday last, headed " Modern Puritanism," seems to have pricked the anti-corn leaguers of Manchester a little more than skin deep. Their organ, the Manchester Guardian, " did not think the Herald Si) lost to all sense of decency" as to give insertion to the sen timent, " that it i s Ivan.; disgusting, to say the least, to hear men who thi n k no more - of the waste of human life in their service, than - they do of the wear and tear of a machine, (and not so much for the wear and tear of a machine costs them something), plead for filthy lucre under the mask of a concern for religion, and presumptuously enrol the Create r himself on their side in at least a questionable attempt to enrich themselves at the expense of their neighbours." These are the offensive words quoted, and the Manchester Guardian " would demand to know who are the men agt . whom the slanderous charge is made." The slander of charge—the hit that told home—was the utter heartle of the manufacturing capitalists towards the operative cl—„.. and to the question, who are the men against whom tl charge is made? the answer is, against ALL. The char) was not grounded upon the selfishness of an individu, here or there, but upon the spirit which pervades the whol body; upon that calculating spirit which looks for a certain profit, and if it cannot make that profit by prices, will screw it out of human labour by a diminution of wages. It matters not whether the object of tasking human labour for this object is achieved by overworking the cheap daily labour of infancy, or dispensing with the comparatively dear piece work of manhood ; but uniformly, and without remorse, the labour of the operative. is either ttsed by them as a slave, or cast off as an incumbrance, and ail with reference merely to what they consider ought to !•:c their profits -of capital. — Talk of the manufacturing capitalist sympathising with the artisan, indeed! How often have. they told us that their capital knows no distinction of country or climate? Did not even Mark Philips tell the Manchester meeting that (like many of his felloWs) he should probably take his capital to Germany, to promote (for his own greater profit) the compe tition against his countrymen and constituents! And is it too much to say, when such men cant for cheap svages, in the shape of cheap bread, under the , mask of religion and morality, and insist upon a free trade in corn as a revelation of the-Creator himself in their favouris it too touch to say that affectation of a far-fetched piety, which is to till their pockets, and such pretensions to a charity which is them a hundred-fold, and perhaps at the eXPens objects of their i n terested compas3ion, are " rli sg „„„„. ,; The word may not be appropriate, because to o m ild for the occasion, but that is the only fault whist can be found wits it:—Morning Herald. sness repay of ell. • PORT OF LIVERPOOL. rpHE OWNERS of, and the MASTERS and COM MANPERS employed on board, the Ships and Vessels belonging to Persons Registered at this Port, are desired to 'meet, in the Underwriters' Committee Room, THIS DAY, (Friday,) the 3d instant, at -Twelve o'clock at Noon, to nominate and appoint Fifteen Persons to be Trustees for the Management of the Seamen's Hospital in this town for the year ensuing, pursuant to an Act made in the 4th• and sth years of his late Majesty's reign, intituled, " Au Act to amend an Act of the 20th year of .his Majesty King George the Second, for the Relief and Support of Sick, Maimed, and Disabled Seamen, and the Widows and Children of such as shall. be Killed, Slain, or Drowned in the Merchants' Ser vice."

A CARD • To the Nobility, Gentry, and Public at large. THE openinf , of a New Year naturally excites the proudest emotions o f' gratitude for the unprecedented patronage with which Messrs. ROWLAND and SON have been ho noured with respect to their celebrated articles, viz., ROW LAND'S MACASSAR OIL, for the Hair—ROWLAND'S KALY I)OR, for the Skin—and ROWLAND'S ODONTO, for the Teeth—each of which have obtained a celebrity pre eminently.greitt. Messrs. R. and S., while they respectfully solicit a ton 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.

THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of th e 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 va s t 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 onife 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 m any thousands, and of r es t or i ng a great num b er 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 iremodeTrate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis doraalis ; or, in - their way to th e consummation of that deplorable malady, are 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, barrenness, &c. But 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, togethey • with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and waterr aliments, has, without any fault of h ers , brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a c onsumptive habit, 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 astringe.s the fibres of the stomach, and gives hat !ironer tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, anti 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 effectine 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 trout bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.

MILK PUNCH ! THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER 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 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 rinants 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 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 ag e. 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 he 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.

And, with a view to the permanence of the Institution upon this basis, it is intended that all its Officers, Professors, and Masters, except the the Teachers of certain Foreign Lan guages, shall be members of the Established Church, but that no distinction shall be made in the admission of Pupils, and that only the Children of members of the Church of England shall be required to learn the Church Catechism. The more effectually to secure the assistance of all ranks of society in accomplishing the objects of this Institution, it is proposed that the instruction which it will afford shall be given in three distinct departments, namely, two Day Schools, and an Evening School. The system of Education proposed for the first school will include the Classics, English Literature and Composition, Geogra phy, Civil and Ecclesiastical History, Modern Languages , Mathematics, Natural History and Philosophy, Chemistry, Drawing, and every other branch of useful learnitur The various classes will be placed under the care of able Univer sity Graduates, whose constant duty it will be to provide in the most effectual manner for the great objects of education —moral and relig ious training, the communication of gene ral knowledge, and specific preparation for the after-pursuits of life. The instruction to be given in the second school Will be on a more limited and less expensive scale; but it will embrace the various requisites of a sound general educa tion, so as to enable the pupils to enter upon the business of life with advantage to themselves and the community. The masters engaged in this department will be likewise carefully selected, with a view to their literary and scientific attain ments ; and it is confidently anticipated that this division of the Institution will become highly popular. The exercises of each School will be commenced and terminated with prayer, at which the attendance of every pupil will be required; and the reading and exposition of the Holy Scriptures will form a portion of the daily business of the Schools. The Even ng School is principally designed for the instruction and im provement of those whose education has been comparatively neglected in early life ; but provision will be made in it to enable young men to pursue particular branches of Classical, Mathematical, or Commercial knowledge. Classes will be organised for the study of Navigation, Geography, Nautical Astronomy, Naval Architecture, and Civil Engineering, which branches will he taught on a scale commensurate with their growing importance to the interests of this port ;—and. with a view of still further adding to the usefulness of these classes, examinations of the pupils connected with them will periodi cally take place, and certificates of proficiency be granted to them. Able masters will likewise be provided for the tuition of students in English Grammar, Writing, Arithmetic, Ar chitectural, Ornamental and Figure Drawing and Modelling, Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, and the modern languages, as well as for the communication of such other learning as may be calculated to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, and render them happier and better members of society. Independently of the Schools , it is intended that this In stitution shall possess a spacious Hall , in which popular Lectures may be delivered from time to time. And as th e Institution flourishes and funds are supplied, it is intended that every addition requisite for the advancement of the Pu pils in Literature, Science, and Art, shall be provided, and suitable buildings erected for a Museum, Library, &c. on a scale adapted to the increasing wants of the community. To connect the Institution more closely with the various classes for whose improvement it is designed, and to secure. the services of the most efficient individuals in its manage ment, it is proposed that the general direction of its affairs shall be entrusted tO,R Committee of thirty - six persons, to be, elected from the Clergy, Merchants, Professional Men and Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and Mechanics. It is in tended that SCOTLAND WARD.

FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED. PERSONS insured against Fire to the extent o f £3OO and upwards, whose Policies continued in force at Christmas, 1837, and who had then been insured Two Years at least, are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid by them, from Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, is now payable at the Company's Office in Exeter, and by the Agents with whom the Insurances are effected, or renewed. FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on Policies, by adding to the S um s Insured, pay a bl e a t th e de cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In sured. _ This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies. The Company does not pride itself on account of the large amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, wil prove : Policy, No. 72,567 .. 106,104 .. 101,562 .. 108,800 .. 104,888 .. ~ 109,135 .. ..:C57 15 6 .. 29 19 2 .. 28 19 9 .. 28 10 1 .. 26 12 6 .. 26 6 1 AGENTS IN LIVERPOCL :- W. WHITEHOUSE & SON, 12, Exchange-buildings. D. & J. B. NEILSON, Exchange -street East. Those persons whose Policies fall due at CHRISTMAS are respectfully informed, that they should be renewed on or before Me 9th January. 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 alt 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 copi es o f 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 igubrant, 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 h as amp l 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; but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends COUjC forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu• Lion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate theconducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by di ss eminating the most approved principles for the managemen t of sucho t _ sc hools, by supplying them with spelli ng -b oo k s , and copies ti!e Sacred Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment , eithe r gra tuitously or at reduced prices. Society for Promoting Christianit y amongst the Je ws. 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 t o t h e Jews, for it was by them that the . Sacred Volume was preserved, and to them they stand indebted for Ch ristianity itself. B u t th e y should feel intereste d on thei r 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 t h ese , eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries arc converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill Mission. Dingle Mission. Th( 'hole Ae whole income of all the above Societies together, in the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than £ 3OO O. Surely th ere are 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the p o p u l at i on ), who could afford ss. per annum to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce X5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre gations, from each of which 500 persona could be found willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of th e above of which they a pp r o ve ; 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 again to lay the finan cial state of the various Societies before the p u bli c. In the mean time, I shall be most happy to gi ve every i n f ormat i on 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 charge of them. J. C. • ~. ' .~ N 1• i i ~'~'~~
