LIVERPOOL TOWN MISSION.

IT is a melancholy fact, too little known and lamented,
that the vast majority of the poor in Liverpool very rarely
enter a place of public worship. From a statistical account
of nineteen streets, published in the last report of the Town
Mission, it appears that out of 9454 individuals residing in
those streets. only 941 regularly attend any
,public worship.
Equally lamentable is the destitution of Pre private means
of religious improvement, as among `2127 families in these
streets,. there were only 744 copies of the Scriptures. Under
these circumstances, so disgraceful to a country professedly
Christian, The Liverpool Town Mission was established, that
the ignorant and the destitute might enjoy
the blessings of
religious instruction. With this view pious and devoted men
are employed to visit the poor in their own houses, to read
and lend to them the Holy Scriptures, to circulate among
them religious books and tracts, to visit their sick, to exhort
all who are able to attend public worship, and to send their
children to school, and in the evening, to hold small meetings
for prayer and expounding the Scriptures. Those simple
means have been greatly blessed, and it is the testimor y of
all w ho have visited the districts of the Missionaries, thvt the
public are not at all aware of the moral destitution and
wretchedness of the lower orders in the town, or of the good
that is doing by this Society. •
The object of the Mission is not to promote the interest of
any sect or party, but to spread abroad the blessings of our
common-Christianity. In accordance with this fundamental
principle, the Missionaries employed belong to the following
religious bodies :—The Established Church, the Wesleyan
Methodists, the Independents, the Baptists, and the Associa-
tion; and the management is vested in a Committee similarly
composed. Many proofs have lately been afforded that the
Christian public are beginning to feel a greater interest in
this Society, and the Committee are convinced that it requires
only to be known to ensure the cordial and liberal support of
all who desire the religious improvement of the poor. The
present number of stipendiary Missionaries employed is
fifteen, but so great is the amount of ignorance and vice to
be combatted, the Committee are anxious to increase the
number to twenty. This would require about £l2OO per
annum. The annual income of the Mission has hitherto
been considerably under I:400 ; the subscriptions only
amounting to about £l5O. In Manchester the sum of one
thousand eiuht hundred pounds was raised last year for the
Town Mission established there, and that society now em•
ploys twenty-nine agents. It is hoped that the time has now
arrived when greater efforts will be made for the poor in
Liverpool. The following sums have been received for the
Liverpool Town Mission during the present year, and further
contributions are earnestly requested.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the
Venereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate
men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin
the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the
head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears,
deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin hones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful sufferings.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PI LS, price 2s.
9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and t most speedy re-

medv ever discovered for the permanen nayL
effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhcea, gleets, strictures; seminal
weakness, in the loins; affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum-
bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and
other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing
a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small
pill for a dose, with ease, secresv, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested
by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti-
cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole
mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex-
pelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and
imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto-
nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer-
cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the
slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of
diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a corn
plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu-
dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and
indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only
occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail
on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but
weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of
imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver-.
sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces-
sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of
the constitution beqotns.en_feaLled, they offer alarm, and
