• PROSPECTUS.
IN order to provide for the Inhabitants of Liverpool an
Educittion suited to their wants, upon the most moderate
terms, and, at the same time, to maintain indissolubly the
connexion between sound religion and useful learning, it is
proposed to found a New Establishment, to be called " THE
LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION—FOR TILE EDUCA-
TION OF THE COMMERCIAL, TRADING, AND 'WORKING
CLASSES," in which instruction in the doctrines and duties or
Christianity, as taught by the United Church of England and
Ireland, shall, for ever, be communicated in combination
with Literary, Scientific, and Commercial information. 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 he 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
Educition• 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 learning. 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 religious 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-
provetnent 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 interestauf 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 the
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 a Committee/of thirty-six persons, to be
elected from the Clergy, Merchants, Professional Men and
Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and Mechanics. It is intended that
the Committee, in the first instance, shall be elected at a
General Meeting of the Donors of £lO 10s. and upwards, to
be held on the first Mondaytin January, 1840, and that its
future appointment, in such manner as may hereafter be
determined upon, shall be vested in one hundred Life Go-
vernors. The first Donors of £lOO or upwards, on or before
the first Monday in January, shall be Life Governors, and
they shall meet on that day to complete their number, if
necessary, and to elect seven Trustees for the Land and Pro-
perty. The Governors shall also fill up vacancies in their
own body and in that of the Trustees. The Committee shall
form a Code of Laws, Rules, and Regulations for the future
government of the Institution, upon the principles previously
stated, and revise, amend, or alter the same from time to
time ; but no Laws, Rules, or Regulations, shall be made or
altered without the sanction of two-thirds of the Governors,
who may be present at a Meeting specially convened for that
purpose after seven days' notice, and consisting of not less
than twenty-one Members.

To erect an Institution worthy of Liverpool, and adapted
to its growing wants, a considerable sum of money will be
necessary, and it is confidently expected that the determina-
tion already evinced in this town, to maintain Scriptural
Education in connexion with the Established Church, will
lead to the speedy contribution of the required amount.
Donors of £5OO or upwards, will be entitled to become Vice •
Presidents of the Institution for life, with peculiar privileges.
Those Ladies who may contribute £lO 10s. or upwards, and
Gentlemen £25 or upwards, will be styled Honorary Life
Members, and a division of the Lecture Hall will be espe-
cially reserved for their accommodation. A Donation of
£lO 10s. or upwards, in one sum, from a Gentleman, and of
£5 ss. or upwards, from a Lady, will constitute them Mem-
bers of the Institution for life, with certain privileges. Do-
nations under £5O may be paid in two yearly instalments,
and above £5O in fuurearly instalments, of which the first
shall be due on the Ist January, 1840.

Bermanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
erry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoyatum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is amid into• the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a f s" onds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, resting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering th 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.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or

TO THE PUBLIC OF LIVERPOOL
AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD.

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 /f this, it is an as-
certained fact, that out of the 30,000 names contained in
the Liverpool Directory, only 1570,0ersons subscribe to any
apt
of the Public charities of the To
I will'uow give a brief summ of the objects of the va-
rious Societies, and shall be in a tendance 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 fullowin,,r, 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 umnitilated 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, &e. 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 auy 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 LII,OOJ, and the strong and urgent calls from L►dia
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.
