GEORGE LINDLEY
Having purchased the above Business and Stock-in-Trade;
and being desirous of introducing, as speedily as possible, a
general and extensive Assortment of Goods adapted to the
Spring Trade, has determined upon submitting to the Public
the whole of the PRESENT STOCK, at a VERY SERIOUS
SACRIFICE, the legitimate value of the Goods being less a
consideration than the necessity for their IMMEDIATE
CLEARANCE.
The Trade being an OLD-ESTABLISHED ONE, the Goods
are known to be of the very best description. The STOCK
is EXTENSIVE, and of GREAT VARIETY. LADIES
and FAMILIES would do well to inspect it, SUCH BAR-
GAINS having probably never been offered to them before.
The few CLOAKS and FURS, being nearly Out of
Season, will be sold at even a more DESPERATE SACRI-
FICE than any other article.

A SHOP FRONT and a number of LACE BONES to
be disposed of cheap.

The very little support which even the r
them have received, considering the weals'
of the Town, must be accounted for, _
objects and views not having been promine,—
fore all classes of the Inhabitants.
I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there n,
one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribe
to any of the charities of the toWn, and not one in ten (who,.
.names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any-of tilec
charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely
the name of one appears who might not subscribe something.
I will now give a brief smothery 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 leip:,y
to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any
or all of the following Associations.
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 flee
circulation of the unmitilated 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 supreinaCy
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 Ai;, civil. This it
the direct object of our Protesthrit Aksociation, cOnsideretlin
its Scriptural foundation-, and its national exercise. Our
second object is, to -address onrselVes 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 foreigwecclesiastical 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 con-
tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious liberty.
The mode of working is, 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 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 any 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 £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.

Hibernian Society.-
The following facts are sufficient to show the importance
of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish
people :
I.—There are in Ireland between two and three. millions of
Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak
English as well ; and between five and six millions who
speak English exclusively.
2.—Among the English-speaking population. who are a large
majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So-
ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time,
for those who speak Irish only, it app: ints Irish-speaking
Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools.
is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far
greater number of applications are received from them,
in the present state of the funds, can be complied with.
4.—The number of Day-spools is 1157, containing 91,066
Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca-
tholic Parents.
Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So-
ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money
will be prudently expensed. 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 be 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 plan
is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for lit,
more than half-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 11
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and a
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of cominere
worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised
them, are no more efficient for that object than the I
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improve
modern warfare. On these accounts,'there seemed
lute necessity that the friends of religiOn—who feel t
of God to be- the only safety and prosperity ol
should combine in some effort (more powerful

those who might wish for help in the high duty
holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such
might have Christian courage to lift up their vc
deliberate assemblies of the nation against this
gression of the country.
The Society's operations are carried on by the instramc—
tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions
to Parliament.
Church Pastoral Aid Society.
This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver-
pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates
and scripture readers, at an annual expense of X 590, while
the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7.
Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than
she receives.
The three following societies are especially devoted to the
benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation
on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of
all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of
this port.
