T is deeply affecting that in this Christian land there should
be so many unhappy Females infesting the streets of all
our large (owns; corrupting the morals of our youth, and in
various ways exerting a most baneful influence upon society.
In Liverpool alone there are thousands of these outcasts of
the human race perishing in their wickedness, without any
adequate effort being made to save them. It is true we have
a benevolent and praiseworthy institution in our "Female
Penitentiary," which has afforded refuge to numbers of these
unfortunate creatures, and has been happily the means of
effectually reclaiming many from their wretched course of
life; but it is not commensurate with the wants of the case.
Something more ought to be done—these abandoned females
ought to be sought out and faithfully warned of their auji4l
state and danger, and, if possible, be persuaded to repent and
turn from their wickedness. They should be told that, although
their case is very bad, it is not hopeless, and that there is mercy
even. for them. In the hope of accomplishing these important
objects, the above society was organised. It employs gra-
tuitous agents, of known piety and integrity, who seek out
and expostulate with the females in question, with the view
of reclaiming them. And it provides cheap lodgings in reli-
gious families for sech of them as are manifestly willing and
anxious to reform their life—and it allows them a small sum
for subsistence until restored to their friends, or otherwise
provided for. The females who avail themselves of the pro-
tection and assistance of the society, are regularly visited at
their lodgings by a Committee of Ladies; and as their per-
manent reformation cannot, with any coutidence, be an-
ticipated. but on the ground of their sound and Scrip-
tural conversion, they are daily and diligeutly instructed
with the view of promoting that important end, although the
society has been in existence only six months, yet the Divine
blessing has so attended its operations, that sixty-seven fe-
males have already been taken off the streets, and most of
them given satisfactory evidence of true conversion—two have
died sincere penitents, enjoying religious peace—nine have
been restored to their friends—twenty-two have been placed
in situations, in which they give very encouraging satisfac-
tion, and thirty-four remain at the Society's lodgings. The
receipts of the Society have been £155 18s 6d, and the ex-
penditure £155 12s 6d, leaving, at present, a balance in hand
of only six shillings! Such being the pecuniary circumstances
of the Society, the Committee beg to lay the above statements
before the Public, and earnestly to solicit the assistance of
the Patriot, the Philanthropist, the Clergy, the Magistracy,
awl all Christians, on behalf of an institution whose opera-
tions are so calculated to be a general benefit to the town, as
well as to "save those who are ready to perish." According
to the lowest calculation, a sum not less than £3OOO weekly
is expended in this town alone in the support of prostitution!
whilst, probably, not more than I:2U a-week is contributed
for the rescue of its wretched victims! Should this be so?
What ! £3OOO a-week to spread crime, disease, and death,
and only £2O to arrest their fearful progress! Shall there be
a sum so enormous paid to destroy the souls of such a numer-
ous class of wretched, deluded, and deluding females! and
only a one hundred and fiftieth part of that amount given to
effect t heir present and eternal salvation? " Men of Israel,
help!" and wipe away this terrible reproach, by liberally
supporting a Society whose object is, by the blessing of God,
to make a determined stand against prostitution so awfully
prevalent, and to "seek and save" its perishing victims.
The following Donations and Annual Subscriptions of a
sovereign each and upwards, the Committee beg now grate-
fully to acknowledge; and at the same time, to state that ad-
ditional Subscriptions or Donations are earnestly solicited,
and will be thankfully received by the President, the Secre-
taries, Mr. Radcliffe, any Member of the Committee (from
whom more detailed information respecting the institution
may be obtained,) or at the Banks and Hotels, where Sub-
scription-books are permitted to be open.
Ladies' cast-off clothes, suitable for these females, who are
frequently destitute in this respect, will be a very acceptable
present. Work is also solicited for them.

MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY
COMPANY.

Late Meeting at Stafford on the Subject of the Extension
Railway.
23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 1838.
lß,—lt appears that at a M EET I N G, over which you
presided, held in the Shire Hall, Stafford, on Thursday
last and purporting to consist of Owners of Property and Inha-
bitants, certain resolutions were passed, amongst which are
the following;—
"That this Meeting views with surprise and regret that the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company intend to
prosecute their application to Parliament for an extension
of their Railway, front near Stone down the Trent valley to
Rugby, instead of joining the Grand Junction lineat Chebsey.
"That regarding such a proceeding on the part of the Com-
pany as a breach of faith towards this town, whose support
they obtained in 1836 and 1837, against the same measure,
when promoted by the South Union Company, this Meeting
feels culled upon to oppose the project, as it cannot have be-
come more beneficial or proper by the mere change of the
hands promoting it."
In the former of these resolution it is assmed, that the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company do not in-
tend to effect the Junction authorised by Parliament under
their present Act with the Grand Junction Railway at Cheb-
sey, an assumption which the Directors are compelled to
characterise as utterly unfounded.

The latter resolution alleges that the Company in seeking
an extension of their Railway by way of the Trent valley to
Rugby, have broken faith with the town of Stafford. This
imputation the Directors declare to be in like manner un-
warranted by the facts.
It is very much to be regreted that, at a meeting profess-
ing to be called for purposes of inquiry, the discussion should
have been conducted, and the resolutions no doubt prepared;
as they certainly were read, by the Solicitor to the Grand
Junction Company, sent there, not to advance the interests
of the town of Stafford, but to impart a complexion to the
proceedings suited to the particular views of those whom he
represented. And the Bisectors conceive that they have just
occasion of complaint, that the influence of your station as
Mayor, should have been given, even in appearance, to pro-
ceedings of an expert° kind, anti that, without reference to
or communication with this Company, resolutions have been
passed under your authority misrepresenting their intentions
and reflecting upon their conduct. At the proper time, which
will be before a Parliamentry Committee, the Directors will
be quite ready to meet any charge of breach of faith, by
whomsoever preferred, either as regards their proceedings
with the Grand Junction Railway Company, or with the
town of Stafford. The former, indeed, will do well to bear in
mind that this Board distinctly imputes to them the very
charge which they make against this Company, in, first, as-
senting to the present line of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway through the Potteries and pledging themselves
to assist it, and then, so soon as the Act was obtained and
the fear of a Trent line as they conceived removed, endea-
vouring to prevent the construction of the Railway which
they had thus pledged themselves to support, by refusing any
and all arrangement with this Company, unless " Crewe"
were their ultimate point.
With respect to the town of Stafford, it has, of course, a
claim to the improved communication with the Potteries and
Manchester, which the line of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Company holds but, and if it obtain those advantages,
kaa..no doubt it will, this Company Aval, • have discharged its
obligations to the borough, not only without aid from, but
against the wish of the Grand Junction' Itailwa Company.
So far from joining in the lamentation of Mr. 1 . Frith, one
of the speakers at your late meeting, that " with regard to
the manufactures of the place, in case of the projected line
being adopted, Stone would have an advantage over Stafford,"
the Directors of this Company rejoice that the manufactures
of Stone are likely to receive the impulse which the con-
struction of the Trent Railway cannot fail to afford ; and
though the circumstance of a neighbouring town being placed
upon a footing of equality with yourselves, may perhaps
account for (itcannot justify) the hostility of Stafford to the
project, such a fact supplies fresh motives to the Directors

MONS. MALLAN'S
TENTH ANNUAL VISIT TO LIVERPOOL.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED,
Without Springs, Clasps, or Wires, •
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED,
AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH
MINERAL SUCOEDANEUM.

TurONSIEUR MALLAN, Surgeon-Dentist, of the firm
LVI. of Messieurs J. M. and S. Malian, 10, Ludgate-hill,
London, and 93, Bold•street, Liverpool, begs to inform his
Friends and Patrons, the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants
of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that he has been induced to
make his Tenth Annual Visit, and may now he consulted
daily, fur a short period, at No. 93, (late 46.) Bold-street,
next to the Savings' Bank, and hopes to receive a continu-
ance of their liberal Patronage, from Nine till Seven daily.
Mons. J. M. and S. MALLAN respectfully acquaint their
Friends and the Public, that, in CONSEQUENCE of their
IMPROVEMENTS in the MECHANICAL DEPART-
MENT of DENDISTRY, they are enabled to REDUCE
their CHARGE to the following Scale:—

£. s. d.
Aine Artificial Tooth
Single ~

A Set—

5 5

A Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate
A Set of Messrs. Mallan's Ineorrodible Teeth,

highly finished in the first style, with fine gold
sockets
Loose Teeth fastened 0 10 0
Loose Teeth fastened, whether arising (ruin age, neglect,
disease of the gums, or the use of calomel.
Incorrodible Artificial Teeth, from a single one to a com-
plete set, matching exactly in form and colour the adjoining
()Les. These Teeth will not corrode, or become discoloured ;
they are fixed without wires, or other ligatures, on a principle
which imparts to the countenance a youthful and improved
appearance; and whlst tbey afford support to the adjoining
Teeth, however loose, answer every purpose of mastication
and articulation.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
's none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
ireva!ent, than Scurvy, and it is well known, that the loss of

'eeth arises more frot-nthis_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. MALLAN has to inform thein,.qtat they can effectually
remove this destroying complaint bra single application,
without the slightest pain.
To Clergymen and Public Orators labouring under defec-
tive pronunciation, Mons. M.'s method of replacing Teeth
will be found peculiarly valuable, as it obviates all defects of
articulation, particularly the inability to give the proper
sound to the lento-lingual double consonant. TO.
be use of Artificial Teeth, in some instances, has been
found objectionable by invalids taking medicines that have
a tendency to discolour them, or in the performance of oper-
ations which compel their removal, perhaps, in the presence
of an attendant or domestic. Mons. M., however, has been
successful in removing these objections, by constructing
Teeth for those purposes, of substances, and in such a man-
ner, as to render them capable of withstanding effects of the ;
most inimical nature.

Natural Teeth placed on the above improved principle.
Mons. M. particularly invites the Members of the Faculty
to witness the operation of filling Decayed Teeth with their
Mineral Succedap.entn, of which they are the sole inventors
and possessors.
