RICHARD RADCLIFFE, Registrar.

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, 35, Church-street.

Liverpool Protestant &suit:dation.
The object of this Association is,--First, to, combine in one
Christian brotherhood of self-defence all rhotruly love true re-
ligion'and I,entilne liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free
circulation of the untuitilated mid 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
iibj• and detest allegiance whatever to

importanc, _ .....-being
continuanc&ofthe invaluable blessings-of"civil and reogioua
liberty.
The mode of working isa 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 increasedfunds. The rule of
the Society constituting Membership, is as follows :—" That
all persons professing faith in the noly Trinity, and being
members of, or friendly to, tha Established Church of Eng-
land and Scotland, who shall subscribefita shillings annually,
or give a donation of one guinea at ac:; one time, shall be
Members of this Association:'''
Church Missionary Society.
Tlik;Objects of this Society • are so well known that it is
needMss now to recapitulate them. I would., therefore,
merely odd, that the defieiency in the Society's funds of.
nearly .£1.1,00,3, and the strong and urgent calls front India;
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society snore '-
.than ever pi-es-shin
ilibernian Society.
The following. facts are sufficient to shoe- the importance
'of this Society in promoting the ssiritnil welfare of the Irish
people:
I.—There are in Ireland between tiatoand three millions of.
Irisla.peniting ptiptdation, of whom two: millions speak
Engliau as wall I and batwoen 04 and. six millions who.
speak English exclnaiydy;„ :
2.—Among the English.speinting praulationa, who area large.
majority of the Irish nation, the Loodoallibernian
So-
ciety is prineiPaliyeinployed ; whila, at the same time,
for those who speak Irish only, it appaints Irish-speaking ,
Scriptare-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools.
3.—lt is the principal S'ociety to which the frith Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far
greater number of apolica.tions are received from them,
thanain the present state of the funds, can be complied
with.
4.—The number of Day-ahoals is 1157, containing 91,06 d
Scholars, of whom 34.06 i are Children of. Roman Ca•
thulic Parents.
Will you not help Ireland by- supporting such a So.
ciety as , this ? Ee,ery security is given that your money
will he prudently:%axpended. 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 pLato.
is so enonimical that a child is educated. for a year _for little.
more than balf-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 quartera• and among
increasing multitudes, Ira the spirit of asmnineree, or of
worldly pleasure ; while the biiiiiarks ortaiv, raised to defend
them,. are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of
modern warfitres On these accounts, there seemed an abso-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel tfie favour
I of God to be the -only safety and prosperity of a people---
t Should combine in some, effort (more-powerful than emild

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 arc carried on by the instrumen-
tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions
to Parliament.
