WEDNESDAY,

TO THE PUBLIC OP LIVERPOOL
AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD.
IJAVING been appointed to take the Management of
various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool,
I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and-clearly
before you.
• The very little support which even thi most favoured of
them have received, considering the wealth and importance
of the Town, must be accounted for, ['imagine, from their
objects and views not having been prominently brought be-
' fore all classes of the Inhabitants.
I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not
one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes
to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose
names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these
charities, and of these it may fairly he presumed that scarcely
the name of one appears who might not subscribe something.
I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va-
rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at inyOffice every
day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy
to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any
or all of the following Associations.
Your obedient Servant,
JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street.
Liverpool Protestant Association.
The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one
Christian brotherhood of self- defenceall who truly love true re-
ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free
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 supremacy
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 or civil. This is
the direct object of our. Protestant AssoCiation, considered in
its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our
second object is, to address ourselves 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 ti,
be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and
highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical 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
continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and 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 milliona who
speak English exclusively.
2.—Among the English-speaking population, who area 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 appoints Irish-speaking
Scripture-readera, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools:
3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural SehOols, and a far
greater number of applications are received from them,
than, 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 expended. 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 little
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 Lord's
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of
worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend
them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of
modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour *,
of God to be the . only . safely *ad-prosperity a_peciple—
should. combine in some effort (more powerful than could
proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,)
to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of
Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which
should have for its object the amendment of ptiblic feeling
and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of
spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of
those who might wish\ for help in the high duty of keeping
'holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as •
might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the
deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans-
gression of the country.
The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen-
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 £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.

- The Mariner's Church
Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as fir as its
means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution
with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for
want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs
of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is
still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped
that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased
subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of
usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and
flatmen.
The Naval and Military Bible Society,
and Prayer Book and Homily Society.
Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit
the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that
_purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices;'
and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society,
it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam-
boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip-
tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of
the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust
that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re-
sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the
seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out
this desirable object without involving the parent society in a
considerable loss.

Trinitarian Bible Society.
The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is:to
,publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
an the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in additiog
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
lileFail intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes
.of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by
weekly or monthly subscriptions..

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, 4
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 cmly 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.
Achill Mission.
• Dingle Mission.

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 ersons in
tenth of the population), who could afford ss. Pera "1
and this
to the whole of the above Societies togetbeire,n
emigre-
would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not

adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and cert.• lv impro-
bable, that any more teas can he ohtained fro F China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all escriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June , common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late pa. is sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as fis. 7d., whilst tip to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased,
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding 'a How-
QuA's MixTuite will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb.,
being' 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb.
HowQuA's SMALL. LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and qaarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea iu Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Piddines HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
