PUBLICATION.

London:. 1800.
We have been favOured With the sigh kaily Ptitt of
that excellent publication; "The British Workman."
The title page bears a bold and well-executed portrait
of Joseph Rogers, the hero of the Royal Charter, who
is represented on the deck of the vessel with a rope
around his neck; looking through the stern', the mist,
and the spray; to*aicis hind; tin the night of the fearful
and fatal catastrophe~ "The Workman's contents also
admirable likenesses of Tenterden; the barber's boy,
who bccante Lord chief Justice of ihigland ; Richard
Reece, donlinniilt, balled Cheap jOhn, the itinerant
who erected a teitiPerande hall of laroo site in
Tredegar, South Wales, and who is said to have been
at one time an officer in the Liverpool police force ;
Dick Arkwright, the poor barber of Bolton, in Lanca-
shire, who was knighted by King George just 100 rears
ago; Dr. Adam Clarke, John Bunyan, John Rennie, and
James Watt) the etigiOeet: During the sik Yeats of the
Jr-m47l,tate* eiistehee, it has contained short, but well-
written biographical sketches of almost all the men who,
from low positions in society, have by their exertions
risen to fame and eminence as artists, professional-men,
orl men of science. Imbued with the principles of
morality and Christianity, all its articles must have
tended to please whilst they instructed the- growing
youth 1 and we cannot help believing that it has proe
rooted more than any other , periodical 'of its class th.
great purposes for which it Wits establishediat an
enormous outlay and risk,—viz., the health, wealth, did
happiness of the British workman.

LIVERPOOL TowN MissioN.—The following circular
has just been issued :—The committee of the Liver-
pool Town Mission venture to appeal to the Chris-
tians of Liverpool for extended support. The object
of the mission is to carry the Gospel to those who
wihnat numbers which we
either have never acquired, or have lost the relish for
live. The
Tthhiengeos—mmtoitttheee hateanthotenneoefd

of this class exist at our very doors; the field is pain-.
fully great, but the income from ordinary sources at
present does not admit of the employment of more than
twenty agents. And wllen to these are added those
supported by other societies, by separate congregations,
and by private individuals, the humbling fact remains,
either that large numbers are totally neglected, or the
districts assigned are so extensive as to render impossible
that close house to house supervision so indispensable to
the full influence of a missionary among such a popu-
:ation. From the strictly unsectarian character of the
mission, the committee are cheerfully constrained to look
more to the qualifications than to the denominations of
the agents they appoint. Chiefly by the liberality of
friends of the mission, several school-rooms have been
provided in destitute localities. Each room is placed
under the immediate charge of one or two missionaries,
who, aided by Christian friends in religious and
educational efforts, make these rooms important
auxiliaries to their house to house labours. The com-
nittee would earnestly throw themselves and their work
on the generous support of the Christian public. The
hag-tried and hitherto largely-blessed Town Mission
eight to receive more extended support ; and, in these
diys of special blessings, they trust that God's people
not be baelward in remembering the spiritual des-
ti ution all ardfind them. Contributions will be reeei-ed
b: any member of the committee.
