The Mariner's Church

Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far 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
fiatmen.

The Naval and Military Bible Society,
and Prayer Book and .Horuily 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 erews 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 Vertions of the Holy Scriptures,
in 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 addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an 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 hss amply answered the benevolent
intentions of the promoters.

While the inqUirer can obtain relief for a time, where he
►uay be protected against the persecutions of his brethren,
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 arc 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 promoti 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 only 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 persons in the town (a
tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum
to the whole of the above Societies together, and this
would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre-
gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found
willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the
above of which they approve ; and this alone would
produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so
small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase at the
end of 1810, when, God willing, I hope again to lay the finan-
cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the
mean time, I shall he most happy to give every information
in my power respecting the operations and general effi..
cieney of all the above associations.
Collecting Boxes and Cards rna,y be had by any one who
will kindly take charge of them. I. C. .

MILK PUNCH
ri MiIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ' • hut with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR

is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
Lon viva utv of the northern parts of this, reat Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched,
that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION

hut of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to he wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will he found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who str&r
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
impiores by age.
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will he constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best lodge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
