NICHOLAS'S CHURCH, on THURSDAY, the 4th day o
November, 1841.
Mr. Churchwarden HUTCHINSON in the Chair.

The Notice and Requisition convening the Meeting having
been read,
It was Resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr.
JAMES ASPINALL, seconded by Mr. WILLLIAM RUSHTON,
that it is the decided opinion of this Vestry, after the expe-
rience they have had of the working of the New Poor Law,
that it is not only not wanted in the Parish, but that the
system is more cumbersome and expensive, and is not so
efficient or satisfactory, either to the rich or poor, as the
Select Vestry System, which, until lately, prevailed in this
Parish ; and that the Churchwardens be, and they are hereby,
empowered to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, for
a local Act for the Administration of the Affairs of the Poor
within this Parish.

ISAAC HUTCHINSON, Chairman.
The Chairman having left the Chair,
Resolved on the motion of Mr. JAMES INGRAM, seconded
by Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, That the thanks of this
Vestry be given to the Chairman for his able conduct in the
Chair.

CLERICAL DOMESTIC ASSOCIATION, LIVER-

POOL.
Under the management of Mr Joseph Crisp.
IT is proposed to open an establishment in Liverpool of the
nature indicated above, for the accommodation of the
clergy and their friends, either residents of the town or
visitors.

In this establishment it is proposed to combine the cus-
tomary accommodation of a London Club-house, but of a
more select character, with that of a private house, a read-
ing-room and library being fitted up, and also a few well-
furnished bed-rooms for the use of visitors or deputations
from London or elsewhere.

The following are the arrangements towards the accom-
plishment of this object :
I. An entrance-fee of £l, and an annual sub-
scription of £l, admits such member to the read-
ing-room and library, as well as the benefit of
occasional residence in the house at a moderate rate
of charge, and farther confers on him the privilege
of recommending a friend as a temporary resident,
although not a subscribing member.
2. An annual subscription of LI admits to the
reading-room and library any membsr not requiring

. -
temporary residence for himself or friend.
The reading-room and library will be supplied with the
London, Liverpool, and other newspapers—Blackwood's,
Fraser's, and Dublin University Magazines—Edinburgh,
Quarterly, and Church of England Reviews, and all periodi-
cal works and pamphlets of a theological nature—various
books of reference relating to Church affairs, &c.
Although great cleanliness and comfort will be the promi-
nent features of this establishment, the boarding and lodging
accommodations will be supplied on a very moderate scale of
charge.

Clerical gentlemen or others disposed to avail themselves
of the above, are requested to signify their intention of be-
coming members. by forwarding their names, as early as
possible, to Mr. Joseph Crisp, at his Clerical and School
Agency Office, 38, Church-street, Liverpool, as the establish-
ment will be opened as soon as a sufficient number of mem-
bers are obtained.
