_ILT is deeply affecting that in this Christian land there should
be so many unhappy Females infesting the streets of all
our large towns; 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 oujitl
state and danger, and, if possible, be persuaded to repent and
turn from their wickedness. They should be told that, although
their ease is ve2y had, it is not hopeless, and that there is mercy
even fir 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 such of them as are manifestly willing and
anxious to reform their life—and it allows theta a small out
for subsistenee 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 confidence, be an-
ticipated, but on the ground of their sound and Scrip-
tural conversion, they are *fly and diligently instructed
with the view of promoting that important eud, 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
t hem given t atisfactot y 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-fiis 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,
and 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 £3O(X) weekly
is expended in this town alone iu the support of prostitution!
whilst, probably, not more than £3O a-week is contributed
fir 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 progreis! Shall there he
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 their 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 &ere.
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-hooks are permitted to be open.
Ladies' cast-off clothes, suitable for these females, who are
frequently destitute in this respect, will he a very acceptable
present. Wolk is also solicited for them.

E CORONATION : a Poem. With Reflections on
I the occasion. Dedicated to Her Most Gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria. To which is annexed, a POEM ON
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
By ROBERT ROSE, a West Indian of Colour.
FOURT►I COITION,
With Opinions on the ,Press.

Mr. R. Rose, the well-known "ppeOif colour," has written
some pleasing lines on the all-engrossing theme, the corona-
tion of our beautiful Queen. As a loyal subject, and an ar-
dent admirer, his strain is at once addressed fur her happi-
ness as a woman and a Queen; nor does his muse forget that
much of that happiness will depend upon her efforts to pro-
mote the well-being, comfort, and prosperity of her subjects.
—Manchester and Salford Advertiser.
This is a poem by Mr. Robert Rose, a West Indian,
several of whose productions formerly appeared in our co-
lumns. Notwithstanding the hasty manner in which it is
written, our readers will find in it much to commend, &c.—
Liverpool Albion, July 9:/i, 1838.
We noticed this little poem in the coronation week— whilst
yet in manuscript. It is now published, and will well reward
a careful perusal. The subject is one of universal interest—
the coronation of our youthful and beloved Queen. Mr.
Rose, although a West Indian, is an Englishman in senti-
ment and loyal devotion, and evidently overflowing with the
most chivalrous respect to the women.—Manchester and Sal-
ford Advertiser, July 14, 1838.
Mr. Rose, the author of this poeth, is well known in Liver-
pool as the writer of several other productions, which are
highly creditable to his feelings and his attainments. The
versification in this poem is smooth and correct: whilst the
language and imagery are chaste and beautiful. We need
scarcely add that the sentiments breathed throughout are de-
votedly loyal.—Liverpool Standard, July 17, 1838.
As Mr. Rose is very well known in Liverpool, we copy the
subjoined notice of one of his most recent productions from
a contemporary :—"lt is seldom that we can spare much
room to dwell on poetry, but when we observe a poem by an
old correspondent, loyally dedicated to her most gracious
majesty, which production evinces talent of no common
order, we are tempted to recommend it to the notice of our
enlightened readers. Mr. Rose, as they are well aware, is a
West Indian, and is remarkable for blending philosophic
truth with the blandishments of poetry. He is happy in his
choice of words and melodious in his versification. We
look upon the earliest manner in which be writes as a good
presage of future success."—Liverpool Mercury, July 20,
1838.

•• The Coronation." A clever little poem, bearing this title,
has just been forwarded to us. The author is Mr. Robert
Rose, a West Indian of colour, well known as the author of
several beautiful pieces of poetry, some of which we have
had the pleasure to copy into this paper, The present pro-
duction is highly creditable to the authiir, and contains some
very sweet poetry, and not less captivating sentiment. We
are glad to learn that the poetic efforts of this interesting
(interesting on many accounts) writer have met with a gra-
tifying share of public appreciation. Pre4ton Chronicle, July
21,) 838.

We have given above, in this column, an extract from the
poem which Mr. Rose has recently published on that previ-
ously thread-bare subject—the coronation of Queen Victoria.
The production of Mr. Rose displays no inconsiderable share
of poetic beauty, and will, we trust, have an extensive sale.
The author is alteady favourably known in LiVerponl by his
contributions to the press of the town.—Liverpool Chronicle,
July '2l, 1838.
A poem under this title, by Robert Rose, a West Indian
of colour, has been submitted to its. it evinces a degree of
talent highly creditable to the author, and is accompanied by
a poem on Sunday Schools tolin less worthy of favourable
nonce.—Bell': Life, July 29, 1
These are endurable lines, &c.—Sunday Times, July 29,
/1838.

In submitting the remarks of the press to the reader ac-
cording to their dates, the Author is happy to state that not
one unfavourable critique of the foregoing Poems has ap-
peared. This he is the more proud of, as it is somewhat rare
for any one, in these days of smart competition, to meet with
the approval of the (generally speaking) coutlicting opinions
of the press, lie would gladly have waited for other impor-
tant notices, but can delay no longer in bringing out this
edition.

MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY

COMPANY.

ate Meeting at Staprd on the Subject of the Extension
Railway.
23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 1838.
appears that at a M E E T IN G, over which you
presided, held in the Shire Hall, Stafford, on Thorsaay
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, from near Stone down the Trent valley to
Rugby, instead of joining the Grand Junction line at 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 called 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
am 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 Directors 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 exparte kind, and 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 or 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 out, and if it obtain those advantages,
as no doubt it will, this Company will have discharged its
obligations to the borough, not only without aid from, but
against the wish of the Grand Junction Railway Company.
So far from joining in the lamentation of Mr. T. 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 looting of equality with yourselves, may perhaps
account for (it cannot justify) the hostility of Stafford to the
project, such a fact supplies fresh motives to the Directors
for vigorously pursuing the undertaking, and will no doubt
encourage the public to continue to support it.—l have the
honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant,
(Signed) ROBT. BARBOUR.
Chairman of the Board of Directors.
To the Mayor of Stafford.
