TO THE'. "PUBLIS' Or LT773- PO L AND ITS PPi',7l( - 4 -7W7rii;71.71 •• UAVING been appointed to take the Manaeernent 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 imagne, from their objects and views not having been prominently broueht 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 eebecribe s to any of the cherities of the town, and not one in ten (whose names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to tiny of these charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely the name of one appears who might not - eubscribe 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 slralrte most happy to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the followinf; Associations. • • JOSEM CRISP, -3S, Church-qi•eet: Liverpool Protestant AssOciation.: The object of this Association isFirst a to combine in one Christian brotherhood o f se lf - defenc e-- e all truly love true re lig,ion and genuine liberty ; all who Sincerely advocate the free circulation of the unnutilated and unadulterated Word of God ' • all who assert and d e f en d th e r i g h t of private jade: rnent ; all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath ; all real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal suprereacy of the King or Queen of England within these realm:, 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 Assoeiation. considered in its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise.- Our second object is, to address ourselv , :with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the ;pi: fort - vac still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national jndices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pore nsord of God, and the right of private judarnent ; who are ,caught that oaths. under certain circumstances, nay and - ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield theinfirst and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority, The alarming spread of Popery, and the impathy,of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the country, and oe,con tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious libeiTy. 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 fel:else. ,The rula of the Society constituting membership, is . as folloWa That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Eitabiiiiied 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 Misslonary Society. The ohjects.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. Itbernian Society. The following frets 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 Eve'and six millions who speak English eielusivele. -Among the English-speaking population. who srce large majority of the Iri s h na ti on , t h e L on d on Hibernian So. ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, far those who speak Irish only, it epee rots Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. -It is the principal Society to which the frisk 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, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. -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 he 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 econirnical that a child is educated for a year for little more thsn half-ascrown. '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, end among increasing multitudes, by the spirit of -commerce, or of worldly pleaSuhe ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend them,!are - zio 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-e 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 1-` , H Sc.ciety. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curat es and scripture rea d ers , at an annual expense of 4591, -white the returns from the town for the past yeareeere but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three fellowiag societies are especially.deroted 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 Caturch • Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as fnr as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the ; end stut 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, confident', hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by lucre-, ed subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen e•.d flatmen. The —aval and Military 'Bible and Prayer Book and .;0,-;1. , 1 * 7 • Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit, the shipping, by means of an agent who is emp l oye d fo: purpose, and to supply the ca-ews with prayer-hooka ,and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ; and, by a law of the Parent Navel and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship ; flat, and steiun boat, which leaves the port, a igratuitous supply of theSdrin 'tures; for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of ' the men), where there are no means ofeellipg them.

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 of4ife. 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, barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the latitudinarian 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 all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive 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 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 re moves di seases o f the head, invi gorates the mind, mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

THE great p reva l ence of that truly distressing complaint Indigestion among the Upper, Middle, and indeed all Classes of Society, has induced the Proprietor to give his attention to the discovery of a Remedy, which would at once remove or prevent it without giving any inconvenience to the Patient. Mr. Prunsr.r.Ly has succeeded in forming a Pill which will remove it ; and, after upwards of a hundred suc cessful trials, he is determined to make them known for the public benefit. The ingredients of which these Pills are composed are entirely vegetable; they act as a mild stimu lant to the digestive organs, and at the same time give strength to the stomach, and therefore are confidently recom mended as an excellent Dinner Pill to all Persons who suffer from Indigestion, or sensation of fulness or uneasiness at the stomach after meals. They are particularly useful to Females before or after confinement, or when troubled with head-ache or giddiness. Doss.—For indigestion, one before or after dinner, or whenever the attack comes on.—As an Aperient, two at bed time when necessary. In Boxes, is. ; or Family Box containing three, for 2s. 6d.

ATKINSON'S INFANTS' PRESERVATIV E.—This popular medicine has been prepared and sold by the Proprietors upwards of Fifty Years, during which time it has attained so high a reputation as to be almost in general use, nor only in Great Britain, but in every civilised country of the Globe. The Preservative was originally intended as an Antidote to those pernicious medicines for Children which have Laudanum for their chief and only active ingredient ; its success has fully answered the intent. It is an efficacious Carminative, intended as a preventative against and a cure for those complaints to which infants are liable, as Affections of the Powels, Difficult Teething, Convulsions, Rickets, &c. ; is an admirable assistant to Nature during the progress of the Hooping Cough, the Measles, and the Cow-Pox, or Vaccine Inoculation ; and its efficacy is fully established, by the fact, that upwards of 100,000 bottles are annually sold in Great Britain alone 1 and, it may be added, that this medicine is so perfectly innocent, that it may be given with the greatest safety to an infant immediately after birth ! Prepared only by ROBERT BARKER, (nephew and successor to, and formerly partner with, the late Mr. ATKIN SON, the discoverer of this invaluable medicine,) No. 1, Market-place, Manchester, and sold in bottles at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

Moved by T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., and seconded by the Rev. R. P. BUDDICOM, 2. That the theory of the Church of England is a fold for every sheep, and a shepherd for every fold; and that she regards the souls of all as of equal value in the sight of their Creator : but that this principle has been so lost sight of, during a long period of national prosperity, that when the Ecclesiastical Commissioners appointed by his late Majesty made their report in 1836, there were 108 parishes or dis tricts, containing an aggregate population amounting to 2,590,000, for whom no more than 301,382 church-sittings had been provided : and, granting that the chapels' of Dis senters in those districts furnished an equal number of sit tings, and that not more than half the entire population can be considered capable of attending public worship, still the conclusion is inevitable, that upwards of 1,300,000 of that population, and those chiefly of the poorer classes, were to tally unprovided for : and, bearing in mind that upwards of ! six millions have been added to the population of England and Wales since the commencement of the present century, it is clear that some hundreds Of thousands might be added to that appalling number, of persons similarly situated in other parts of the kingdom. Moved by the Rev. DANIEL WILSON, and seconded by the Rev. FIELDING OtILD, 3. That the duty of Rulers, in reference to the public worship and acknowledgment of Almighty God, is clearly laid down in his Holy Word • that momentous interests are at-stake ; and that it is a fearful experiment for a professedly Cnristian Legislature to try (whether in deference to secta rian opinions, or to the suggestions of a mistaken and short sighted economy) how large a portion of the people can be safely left without the pale of Christian Institutions : and that it is an act of the most grievous injustice, to resolve that that experiment shall be made at the cost of the poorer classes, who can do little to help themselves, and on whom penal measures, whenever necessary, are apt to fall with peculiar weight and severity. Moved by the Rev. Dr. TATTERSHALL, and seconded by the Rev. JAMES HALDANE STEWART, 4. That a Petition to the House of Commons, embodying the foregoing Resolutions, and calling upon the Legislature to take the matter thereof into its mo serious consideration, be adopted ; and that the Right Hon st . Lord Vis coun t S an d on and Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., be requested to present and support the same. JONATHAN BROOKS, Chairman. The Chairman having vacated the Chair, it was moved by C. S. PARKER, Esq., seconded by THOS. FORSYTH, Esq., and carried unanimously, that the thanks of the Meeting be presented to him for his impartial conduct in the chair.

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 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.

HODGSON, Secretary AT a PUBLIC MEETING of Owners of Land and Warehouses, and others opposed to the Plan of the Dock Trustees for Building Warehouses on the Dock Quays, at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool, 13th Feb. 1840, JOHN MONTGOMERY, Esq. in the Chair, It was moved by WILLIAM EARLS, Esq. seconded by JOHN DRINYWATER, Esq. and Resolved unanimously,—That this meeting views with great regret the recent decision of the Town Council sanctioning the proceeding, by the Dock Committee, in the present session of parliament, with the bill empowering themselves' to erect and manage warehouses on the dock quays—a decision con trary, in the opinion of the meeting, to justice and sound po licy, and the evidence on which it purports to be founded, and tending ruinously to depress the value of private property in the town, in which some millions of money have been invested by purchasers and mortgagees, on the security of the existing laws. That the measure is called for by no necessity or desire on the part of the public, there being already a great super abundance of warehouse room, and is opposed to the expressed opinion of most of the commercial associations. ' That it was not included in the recommendations of a body of nearly 3CO merchants lately united for the purpose of enquiring into the best mode of managing the docks and facilitating business ; has been expressly petitioned against by 6000 inhabitants of the port ; and in the opinion of this meeting, approves itself in no single feature to the impartial inquirer into facts. That it has been persevered in, and, for the present, been carried in furtherance of the views of a few individuals only, against the wishes of the community at large, and also against the reso lution (not twelve months ago) of the Town Council itself, founded upon the disapproval of its own Finance Committee, after a laborious investigation, and without any circumstance having occurred iu the interim to account for so strange a va cillation of purpose on the part of that body. Moved by W. P. Bustinv, Esq. seconded by JOHN FLETcrusit, I?,sq. and • Resolved unanimously—That the Land and Warehouse Owners of Liverpool, are as, anxious for, and as much in terested in the improvement of the port as the most vehement advocates of this measure profess to he, and admit as freely the evil of delay in the loading and discharge of ships, and the necessity of some effectual remedy, but they maintain that this remedy will not be found in the erection of warehouses, and is at all events attainable with infinitely less expense and no injustice, by other means, upon the ne cessity and propriety of which the whole commercial com munity are agreed, that is to say, by the construction of transit sheds, and the adoption of various improvements lately recommended by the body of merchants already alluded to, and by the said Finance Committee, in their report to the Town Council. Moved by JOHN CROSTHWAITE, Esq., seconded by THOMAS MURRAY, Esq., and Resolved unanimously—That even admitting for the sake of argument, (though denying the fact of,) the expediency of dock warehouses, the proposal that they shall be erected and managed by the Dock Trustees, is a monstrous in justice, altogether unprecedented in this country, as it would enable that body, building at the public expense upon land costing them nothing, and therefore requiring no return in the form of rent, and without personal responsibility, or any other stimulus to good management, to compete with, or rather ruinously to depreciate the property of persons who have bought land from these same Dock Trustees (the Cor poration) at very high prices, and under ea-press restrictions to build warehouses only thereon, and with various en couragements to landowners generally so to build, held out by the Corporation, amounting to a moral pledge that that body would never themselves become warehouse holders; and because, also, the establishment of such a mo nopoly aas this, is opposed to every sound principle of policy; and mast, for obvious reas ons , encum b er and harass, rather than re li eve the shipowner and merc h ant, and necessarily i n crease of the present very high dock rate s, b y th e enormous expense • project. . gloved by JAMES BRANCKER, Esq., seconded by WIL LIAM MCIVER, Esq., and Resolved unanimously —That the very essence and vital principle of the London Dock Warehouse system, with which (as an argument for the present scheme) that of Liverpool is often disadvantageously compared, consist in the fact that the London Dock s an d Warehouses are private, nut public property, purchased and erected by the Owners with their own money, and managed, therefore, at their OVVTI risk, and so far are O in daily th compe eti Land and tion with Wpoarehousewerful and vi g il ant rivals; and from being adverse to the intruduetion friers of Liverpool this sy s t em , t h at of they court such fair competition of inter this and would ne ver have opposed the construction of Dock Warehouses here, if it were part of the plan that they should be erected and managed, as in London, by individuals or compani s t loin Trustees should sell the land for that e pu'ro7se, at the Dock its full and fair value, and at properly extended periods, as an adequate demand arose, in the same manner as the exist ing warehouse property Of withthe town has been purchased and built, and they anticipate Parliament of this confidence the affirmation by Plain and undeniable principle of common justice. Moved by J OHN Js Esq.. SRANV LEIGH Es q ., secon d e d b y J. A. reasons not Resolved un animously —Th a t f or t h ese and many other compressible into the form of resolutions, the committee are hereby authorized to take the most effective measures for opposing the bill in both Houses of Parliament, and that for this purpose the residue uncollected of the rate of three per cent. on the annual value of the warehouse pro perty of the town, agreed to be raised at the last general m eeting, to be forthwith collected by the Treasurer, with the assistance of the Committee. • , Resolved also—That a Petition, embodying the substance of these resolutions, be forthwith presented to both H ouses of Parliament, and that these Resolutions be publi s h ed at the discretionof the Committee. . jouN7gQNTilowiltY, arata, THE Firm of WRENSHAL L nod SONS having been dissolved by the withdrawal of WILLIANt WRENSHALL, Jun., the business will be carried on as usual, at the ACADEMY, ISLINGTON -SQUARE, by WILLIAM WREN SHALL, Sen. and CHARLES LEWIS WRENSHALL.
