FRASER'S MAGAZINE.
ADDRESS FROM THE PROPRIETOR TO•THE,PUBLIC.

TEN years have now elapsed since this Magazine was first
started ; and the Proprietor thinks th he will not be
liable to the charge of unnecessary intru • n if he, for the
first time in his own person, ventures t us to address the
public.
The Magazine which bears his nam was ushered into the
world in 1830, without a single adv ement or preliminary
announcement ; and it has, with c stantly increasing suc-
cess, worked its way onward to 18 , solely by the public
favour, accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its
unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the
literary talent which he, without vanity, may say it has
always displayed from the 'beginning. The stirring period
in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con-
tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never
scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing
events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and
spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating
course, could be always counted upon, whether as ally or
enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust
to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list
comprises men of the highest talent in every department of
literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to
its avowed party feelings—if its success were attributed
wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It
would be invidious to select any names; but to all persons
ever so slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de-
served eminence and distinction will immediately occur ; and
what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg-
ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any
name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which
it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of
party advocacy.

The Proprietor has not lost (except by death, which, alas !
in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have
invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his original contri-
butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many
others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes,
therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon
those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to
maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already
earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the
years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than
those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume
the character of a political writer; but, in common with all
who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that
an eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may
be anticipated from the seed sown by the Whigs during ten
' which it has main-
turning
t e "nfeoirtht ieers'
to the right hand or
years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the
to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to
maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva-
tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and
our country. All who are connected with it feel that they
have a right to expect that this promise may pot be deemed
idle or insincere • their conduct in years past affording a fair
guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to come.
Under these circumstances the Proprietor looks forward,
with more than hope, to a still increasing circulation. The
number of volumes, however—twenty—to which his Maga-
zine has extended, opposes, from their cost, an objection in
the minds of many to commencing subscriptions to a work,
of which, without considerable, expense, they cannot obtain
a complete set. The proprietor, therefore, acting wider the
advice of many friends, and yielding to several applications
made to him on the subject, has reduced the price from £l5,
the present cost of a full set, to £7 lOs ; for which he offers
twenty large volumes of carefully written articles on all the
subjects which have engrossed public attention daring the
last ten years ; papers on the state, the strength, the relative
position of parties. To Conservative statesmen, of such
value as almost to be indispensable, and to their antagonists
of no small service, as showing the points on which we think
they can be most dangerously ,assailed. Essays of high
nterest in the Religious wcrld,
.on the Protestant Church

TO THE PUBLIC OP LIVE rtPOOL
AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD.

I HAVING been appointed to take the Management of
various Societies connected with the Tpwn of Liverpool,
I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly
before you.
The very little support which even the t favoured of
them have received, considering the wealt and importance
of the Town, must be accounted for, I • agine, from their
objects and views not having been pro inently brought be-
fore all classes of the Inhabitants.
I may just state, in corroboratioti 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 pie-sumed 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 he 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 lore 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._ ecclesiastics' ?r civil` This is
-she threes object of oar Protestant Association, considered in
its Scriptural fou tion, and its national exercise. Our
second object is ress ourselves with earnest affection
to those of our untryrneit who have the misfortune
still to labour nti-scriptural and anti-national pre-
judices ; who enied the free circulation of the pure word
of God, and e 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
highestallegiance 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
vitalimportance 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 inilliene 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 are a 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 therd,
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
vore flikn halka-elowo. -Have you thus educaten 4thrt

• Lanch.sEire 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 safety and prosperity 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 proyiding 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 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.
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 erews with prayer-books and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ;
and, by slaw 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,
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 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 fig
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.

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 X. 5000. Let every one do something, be it ever so
small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase at the
end of 1840, 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 be most happy to give every information
in my power respecting the operations and general effi-
ciency of all the above associations.

MILK PUNCH I
THIS 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 DISCOVERi,
by presenting to him the freedom of th own ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to o ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR

is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great 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
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not
OYALTY
disdain to sip, the more so as
R
hag acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been Intimated thaSt it wiICKNESS ll prevent
,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
"briny, deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
Prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished,"wllibe
grateful properties are such asfound to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from t
hese effeces ts of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and ss that sure criterion 'of genuine excellence,
improves 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 be 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 Judge, 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.

STATE OF TRADE.-Our trade has declined a little during
the past week, with but little prospect of any immediate im-
provement. Several causes may be mentioned as the occa-
sion of this ; the very bad state of the weather and the recent
fluctuations in the cotton market are the most prominent.—

CATCHING A TARTAR.-011 Saturday evening, about 11
p.m., as Lieut. Cook, of the coast guard, was returning from
Ramsgate to Broadstairs, he was accosted by a man near
Dumpton, who turned out to be a person belonging to Rams-
gate, a journeyman baker, who, report says, attempted•to
rob him ; when, after a little parleying, Lieut. Cook took
off his cloak and gave the fellow such a severe thrashing as
will prevent him ever making a second attempt. The gallant
lieutenant refuses to bring him to' justice, on account of the
castigation he received.— Woolwich Advertiser•.

A MISER.—W. Jones, an old man, was brought to the
Salop Infirmary a few days ggo, having, as was conceived, an
incurable disease. While undressing him, nearly 30 sove-
reigns fell out of his pocket, although he had declared that
he was without a farthing. On Monday he asked to be sent
home, and the medical officer sent him in a fly ; on reaching
his cottage he became very ill, and told a person where he
had some property secreted, and on the man going to the
spot, Jones, who accompanied him, endeavoured to seize the
money himself, but suddenly dropt down dead. On search-
ing the cottage, £250 in gold, £4O in silver and copper, a
mortgage deed far, £250, and several other securities for
money were found,besides all sorts of old metal, hooks, and

DREADkUV EXiq;DRION OF POWDER M1L2:9,--We l'egt
to state, that a dreadful explosion took place on Friday of -
noon, about three o'clock, at the powder mills at Etter
Water, Westmoreland, about four miles from Windermere,
by which two men lost their lives instantly, and five others
were so severely scorched that three of them are since dead,
and very slight hopes are entertained of the recovery of the
other two. It appears that the explosion took place first in
the corning mill where the two men killed on the spot were
employed alone ; consequently there is-no ancottsvt-vf:4.lte
manner in which the accident originated. The aecond
plosion took place a few seconds after the first, in a detached
building, about twenty yards distant, where the five wounded
men were employed. It appears, from the account given by
one of the survivors, that it appeared to him as if, immedi-
atelyatter the first explosion, a red hot iron bar broke through
the roof of the building in, which he was, when the second
explosion immediately took place. The powder exploded is
estimated at about five tons. The two reports were heard
for twelve miles round the country, and resembled thunder,
but of an unusual sound ; and many intelligent persons con-
chided, that it was an explosion of these mills. Indeed two
volumes of smoke was seen to rise in that direction from a
distance of eight miles. The two buildings are literally le-
velled with the ground, and several cottages are injured by
having their windows broken, and doors, &c. much injured.
We regret to state, that the whole of the sufferers have left
wives and families.

AFFRAY WITH' POACHERS. Between one end two
o'clock in the morning of Wednesday, as John Rayner,
Joseph Carmen, and William Sharpe, three watchers of the
preserves, belonging to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle,
were on their respective rounds, they heard the report of
fire-arms. Proceeding in the direction from whence the
sound came, they discovered three men armed, who, on
seeing they were likely to be taken, began to make off. The
watchers, however, commenced a vigorous pursuit, and ap-
proaching near them, one of the poachers turned round and
levelled his gun at one of the watchers, but fortunately he
was sufficiently near to hit the fellow's arm, and prevented
him from carrying his obvious design into execution. A
most murderous attack then commenced on the keepers, who
defended themselves in a most courageous manner, and ulti-
mately succeeded in securing two of the fellows, who proved
to be Robert Ridge, of Ecclesall, and Thomas Ogden, of
Sheffield, one of whom was armed with a beautiful double-
barrelled gun, and the other with a single-barreled one.
They had already secured five brace of pheasants. After
they had been taken to Normauton Inn, in the parish of
Elksley, near the place where they were apprehended, it was
found that both the pris)ners were terribly mauled ; so
much so as to render the attendance of a medical man neces-
sary. During the day they were brought to Retford, and on
being closely searched by Leadbeater, the police-officer,
several picklock keys were found upon them, which gave
evident demonstration that poaching was only one branch of
their professional avocations. On being brought before
James Lee, Esq., and the Rev. E. li. Dawkins, they offered
nothing by way of defence, and there being no instructions
to send them for trial, under the night poaching act, at the
next assizes, they were committed to Southwell for three
months' imprisonment, and at the end of that time, to find
sureties to keep the peace, or be further imprisoned for six
months.—Sheffield Patriot.

AN INDIAN CHOULTRY.—As soon as the aim has gone
down, darkness rapidly prevails in this latitude; nor is there
any artificial or enlivening substitute in a Hindoo village for
the light of day. As soon as I coved, therefore, I chose my
birth in Bal-Chitty's choultry ; but it was my lot to mingle,
as one in a mixed multitude, with men of the least agreeable
habits, and with them to share the troubles incident to a
common caravanserai. I spread out my mat, and lay down
upon the floor of the choultry ; my horse was picketed out-
side, in charge of his keeper ; but my companions were less
attractive within. Vermin of an offensive description-beetles,
cockroaches, bats, mosquitoes, &c.—were plentiful: the
apartment was dark, a single oil lamp was our only source
of light; added to all other incidental nuisances, one of the
heavy showers common to the petty monsoon fell after sun-
set, and forced into the circuitry many who would have pre-
ferred a place in the open air. The atmosphere, confined and
heavy, became most heavy, and all sleep fled, notwithstanding
my earnest solicitations. It was in vain that I tossed from
side to aide, hoped for repose, or tried to coax myself to
drowsy forgetfulness. The whirringjtnoef

heads, and the chat-
gnions, rendered Bal-Chitty no
favourite of mine, and extracted from me a very deliberate
teoenfriitrilie nociikt hrieearrcfshol
resolve never again to come under his nocturnal influence,
or to spend my vigils within his walls.—]lassie's Continental
India.

VAccriATlON.—How
greatly it is to be lamented, that an
object so important as the prevention of the ravages of
small-pox, has never been effectively brought under the con-
sideration of our legislature ! There are two modes of pro-
ceeding conjointly necessary in order to be effectual ; one is,
the organizing vaccine institutions, and the other is, making
the propagation of small-pox by inoculation penal, and mak-
ing provision for insulating strolling beggars, who carry it
from place to place. How culpable is the legislature which,
with a single exception, has entirely neglected these matters.
Last summer a beggarwoman took her place not forty yards
from my door, having in her arms a child dying of the small-
pox ; on being threatened by the police, she removed to a
less public place, but that was all. There should have been
legislative provision for withdrawing this woman from public
6ontact, and for disinfecting her before she was released.
My office as Physician to the Foundling Hospital has brought
before me another mode in which small-pox is propagated
throughout the land. Itinerant inoculators, availing them-
selves of the ignorance and prejudices of their fellows, for a
small fee communicated the disease from one to another.
Some of their tickets have been brought me by foundling
nurses, who mistook the instructions they received about
vaccinating the children. One of these, I recollect, ran
thus, " I scratify that I have ejaculated," Bc. Among the
children at present within the walls of the hospital, there are
about a dozen, whose arms attest the fact of such is;acntatiss.
A penalty of five pounds, or imprisonment in the common
bail for not less than one month, upon summary conviction
efore magistrates at petty-sessions, would suffice to arrest
the propagation of pestilence in this mode. 1 regret to say
that the fine is needed as well as incarceration, in order to
meet a higher class than the itinerant inoculatorsi. The only
exception which should be made in a law of this hind is, in
those cases where small-pox may have actually appeared in
the household previously to the inoculation. Re-vaccination
has been recommended, as a practical deduction froin spnie
of the opinions or notions which have been combated it:, the
foregoing paper. Re-vaccination of the poor generally'would
be unwise, because the utmost that their improvident habits
will ever submit to is, to receive vaccination once;and the
effort to repeat it would only, in their minds, throw discredit
on the whole matter, and thus lead to limit it in the first
in-
stance. Amongst the higher classes re-vaccination is no no-
velty. Good sense being the guide as to the mode, I think
the repetition wise and to be commended.-1)r. E1:2126.(5.,71
