By Mrs. HENRY R. SANDBACH.

H- -
AVING 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 the most favoured of
them have received, considering the wealth and importance
of the Town, must be accounted for, I 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 be 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 my Office 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-defence all 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 to
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 bein,g 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 he
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 millions 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-readers, 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 Schools,_ 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-shools 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, ate 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 neeesSity that the-friends of religion—whofeel the favour
Of God to be the only safety and piosperity of a people—
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 public 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.. _ .

AHIGHLY respectable and influential Deputation of
the FREEHOLDERS of the Northern Division of
the County of Chester waited upon GEORGE CORNWALL
UGH, Esq. at High Legh Hall, on Thursday, the 23d
instant, and presented to him the following Requisition,
most numerously and respectably signed :
To GEORGE CORNWALL LEGH, Esq.
We, the undersigned, deeply impressed with the present
aspect of public affairs, and viewing with apprehension the
evils to which the country is exposed by the pernicious po-
licy of the present Government, feel ourselves called upon,to
resist to the utmost of our power the further progress of in-
novation and mis-government ; and to that end we consider
it to be our bounden duty as Freeholders and Electors of the
Northern Division of Cheshire, to send to Parliament such
men only as are ready and willing to support and sustain in
its fu'lest integrity our PROTESTANT CONSTITUTION
IN CHURCH AND STATE, and to whom we can safely
confide the real interests of the Country.
We have the most ample assurance that you participate in
these sentiments, that you would resist any and eves y assault
upon the ESTABLISHED CHURCH, that you are opposed to
any scheme of NATIONAL EDUCATION not based on Our
NATIONAL RELIGION; that you would afford just protection
to our AGRICULTURAL in connexion with our COMMERCIAL
INTERESTS, and that you would give your cordial support to
any Administration that would govern the Country upon
these sound principles.

We therefore request yoirtó come forward as a candidate
at the next Election for this Division of the County, and we
pledge ourselves to use our most strenuous endeavours 'to se-
cure your return.
RICHARD BROOKE,
Chairman.
To which Mr. Cornwall Legh returned the following re-
ply _ _

a GENTLEMEN,—I should do great injustice to my own feel-
ings, did 1 not attempt to express to you the high sense I
entertain of the distinguished honour you have now confer-
red upon me, in thus requesting me to become a Candidate
for the Representation ofthe Northern Division of this County
at the next Election, an honour the more valuable to me from
the consideration that it was totally unsought on my part :
and however little intention I had myself of soliciting that
honour, however unwilling I might under other circumstan-
ces have been to come forward, I should think myself utterly
wanting in that respect which I feel towards the Electors of
my native County, I should show but little of the spirit of an
independent Country Gentleman, if I could for one moment
allow my own private feelings to operate against a wish so
flatteringly expressed, or hesitate to place at your disposal
whatever services You may think I can render you.
I willingly, therefore, accept the Requisition you offer me,
and shall be ready under your support to stand forward as a
Candidate upon the first opportunity which presents itself.

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS,
AM) OTHER ELECTORS, OF THE NORTHERN
DIVISTOPV OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTER.
GENTLtmtN,
HOST numerous and influential
.body of the Elec-
tors of the Northern Division of this County, having
done me the honour to express their wish in a Requi-
sition, presented to me this day, that I should come forward
as a Candidate for the Representation of this Division in
Parliament ; and, having spontaneously offered me their sup-
port, I conceive it to be my duty at once to accede to.a re-
quest so flatteringly conveyed, and therefore take the earliest
opportunity of announcing my intention to solicit your Suf-
frages at the next Election.

strongly attached to our Constitution in Church and State,
I will resist all attempts to weaken or impair the efficiency
of the Established Church.; and, while as a sincere friend to
the rights of civil and religious liberty amongst all classesnf my
fellow-subjects, I respect the conscientious scruples of the
Religious Dissenters, I will sanction no scheme, however
specious, which tends in any way directly or indirectly to
dissever the connection between Church and State.
I am strongly opposed to any system of National Educa-
tion not based upon our National Religion.
I am fully sensible of the vast and increasing importance
of the commercial and manufacturing relations of this coun-
try ; and, while I hope always to see a just and equitable
protection afforded to the ;industry of the Agriculturist, I
would support any measures which may tend to the full deve-
lopment of trade, and to promote the various interests of
the manufacturing classes.
Disapproving of the measures and policy of her Majesty's
present Administration, I hope soon to see it replaced by a
firm and independent Government, acting upon its own con-
stitutional responsibility, actively desirous of removing any
abuses or defects which may be lona fide proved to deface
our Institutions, whether civil or ecclesiastical, but firmly
determined to support the great principles of the Constitu-
tion, and to resist the dangerous innovations of the present
day.

•
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
flatmen.

Gentlemen, upon these principles I shall solicit the honour
of your Suffrages ;—upon these principles I am prepared to
act ; and if I should be so fortunate as to attain to the high
distinction of being one of your Representatives in Parlia-
ment, it shall bo my endeavour, by a steady adherence to
them, and by a zealous discharge of the duties incumbent
upon me, to serve you faithfully, to justify the confidence
your kindness has reposed in me, and to promote with my
utmost ability your best interests, and the welfare and pros-
perity of the empire at large.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
With great-respect,
Your very faithful servant,
GEORGE CORNWALL LEGIL
High Legh, Jan. 23rd, 1840.

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.

THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated

Trinitarian Bible Society.
The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish faitViil Protestant Versions 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.

CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM
will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tab is riorsalis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with/any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency. barrenness. &CL.. But

immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn
declining years, and calmly and serenely protract

the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a genera restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,

Jewish Institution.
The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
mouths' 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,
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 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 rd ission.
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 aU 'wilt shew a vast incarerel•naesoreanelat the
%
end of Ilk 'when,. God wining, I hope again to lay the finan-
cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the
mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information
in my power respecting the operations and g
ciencv °fall the above associations.

TAMES LAN GSHAW takes this early opportunity of re-
turning his sincere thanks to those gentlemen who have
so promptly come forward to support the " CONSERVATIVE
NEWS Room," of which he has the superintendence. Hav-
ing been at considerable expense in rendering the room suita-
ble for the purpose, and having the sole responsibility, he
begs leave, respectfully, to solicit the co-operation of those
Friends who have not yet favoured him with their support.
The central situation-of the News Room affords every fa-
cility to the Merchant and Tradesman, and serves as a rally-

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
rPHE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
-1 genre of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war ; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up 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's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE 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 GUNPOWDEId 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 quarter
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 in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUN PO WDE R ,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jost Rnoozs PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
