Liverpool Jewish Institution.

The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
months experience, it has 'amply 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 come
forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu-
tion must be given up.

Irish Sunday School Society,
To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting
of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most
approved principles for the management of such schools, by
supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra-
tuitously or at reduced prices.

Society for Promoting Christianity
amongst the Jews.
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 to the Jews, for it
was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they
should feel interested on their 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
these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries
are converted Jews.

The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians.
The 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
£3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a
tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum
to the whole of the above Societies together, and this
would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre-
gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found
willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the
above of which they approve ; 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 public. In the
information
mean time, I shall be most happy to give every _
in my power respecting the operations and general effi-
ciency of all the above associations.

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS
COMMISSIONERS OF HER MAJESTY'S
TREASURY.
THE MEMORIAL OF THE UNDERSIGNED BANKERS, MER-
CHANTS, TRADESMEN, AND OTHERS, RES T AT THE
PORT OF LIVERPOOL.
Sheweth,
THAT your Memorialists being dee nterested in the
welfare and prosperity of the VT India Islands and
Colonies, have learned with great sat' action that it is the
intention of her Majesty's government o establish a commu-
nication, by Steam Vessels, between those dependencies and
Great Britain.

That in establishing such a communication, it is highly
desirable that the Port to be selected for the departure and
arrival of the Steam Vessels should be such as to afford ge-
neral convenience to the public service, and to all classes of
persons likely to take advantage of such communication,
safety to the navigatiou of the vessels to be employed, faci-
lities for the building and repairing such vessels and their en-
gines, and cheapness in procuring their fuel and general
outfit. _ _

That your petitioners submit that the Port of Liverpool,
in an eminent degree, combines all the requisites for the
above qualifications.
It is not only the most central, but the most accessible
port for the whole United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. The several Railroads between Liverpool and Man-
chester, Liverpool and Preston, Liverpool and Bolton, Liver-
pool and Birmingham, and thence to London, being already
completed and in active operation ; and the several Railroads
between London and Southampton, Birmingham and Bris-
tol, and thence to Exeter, Manchester, and Leeds, and
thence to Hull, between Manchester and Derby, Sheffield
and Derby, and Preston and Lancaster, being now in pro-
gress, and which will be opened in the course of the present
year—thereby affording a direct and rapid communication
with all parts of the north, south, east, and west ; besides
which there are powerful Steam-boats plying daily between
Glasgow and Liverpool, Dublin and Liverpool, and all the
other principal ports in Ireland, some of which have exten-
sive intercourse with the West India Islands and Colonies.
That, in addition to the trade carried on by Liverpool with
the West India Islands and Colonies, the port is the great
outlet for all the manufacturing districts of Lancashire,
Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire,
including a population of upwards of 3,000,000 persons,
which have also extensive connexions with the West India
Islands and colonies, and the Gulf of Mexico and Brazils.
That the entrance to the Port of Liverpool, for vessels of
all sizes, is commodious and safe through the new Channel,
called the Victoria Channel—the depth of water on the bar
at low water ordinary spring tides being 11 feet, and at low
water of neap tides 17 feet. At the first quarter, 11 hours'
flood, there is 18 feet atordinary springs, and 24 feet at neaps ;
and so on progressively increasing until high water. And
for thirty-four days only out of 365 will there be so little as
11 feet water at low water, and that only for one half hour.
The said channel is also now well lighted and buoyed, and in
addition to the Lightship, Buoys, and Lighthouse, lately
placed in connexion with this new channel, another Lightship
will will be placed therein as soon as possible, which IP
the unqualified approbation of the Trinity Board, and ofe Cap-
tain Beaufort, Hydrographer to the Board of
Admiralty,and
thereby affording at all times of the tide, both night day,
a convenient access to the port. This is fany borne out by
the fact, that her Majesty's Post-office Packets
h(twros, and twoofwhich
leave Liverpool for Dublin every day at fix
Dublin for Liverpool,) regularly use this channel,
on
annel, and have
met with no detention from 1.1. want of water.
That Liverpooi has at all times had extensive conveniences
for Steamers of large sizes, and these conveniences are now
considerably increased ; a new Dock having been lately com-
pleted sufficient to take Steamers of the largest class, having
Gates 70 feet wide, and one of the Graving Docks being now
in progress of alteration to admit Steamers of the same size ;
besides which, Foundries and Manufactories for Marine Steam-
engines, and all the other necessary equipments for Steam-
boats, f high character and reputation have long been esta-
blished at Liverpool, and the Engines there made will bear
comparison with those of the first makers in the world. The
Marine Engines of several of her Majesty's Post-office Packets
have been made there, and others are now in progress of ma-
nufacture for other vessels belonging to her Majesty.
That Liverpool also affords great convenience for procuring
fuel, the coals to be had there being of good quality, in great
abundance, and on moderate terms, which are used by Steam-
ers frequenting the port, and are sent for the use of Steamers
to all parts of the world. It also affords all other necessa-
ries for the vessels' outfit at as moderate rates, as good in
quality, and in as great abundance as any other port in the
kingdom.
Your memorialists therefore pr that your lordships will
take the same into your lordships consideration, and give
directions that Liverpool may be appointed the vort from
which the Steam Vessels to be employed in any communica-
tion between the West India Islands and Colonies and this
country shall depart, and at which they shall: arrive.
And your Memorialists will ever pray, &c.
N.B.—The above Memorial is now lYing for Signature at
the different News Rooms.
