Munit3, of Interests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
a principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors a
certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
lishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of
44.gtkt compatible with due attention to their maintenance.

ORT OF LIVERPOOL.
T_Shetveth,
HAT your Memorialists being deeply interested in the
,r, welfare and prosperity of the West India Islands and
`-olonles, have learned with great satisfaction that it is the
intention of her Majesty's government to establish a commu-
nication, by Steam Vessels, between those deendencies and
Great Britain. p
That in establishing such a communication, it is highly
desirable that the Port to be selected for the departure and
arrival of the Steam Vessels should be such as to afford ge-
l'eral convenience to the public service, and to all classes of
Persons likely to take advantage of such communication,
!3afety to the navigation of the vessels to he employed, faci-
lities for the building and repairing such vessels and their en-
gines, and
outfit cheapness in procuring their fuel and general
111
. That your petitioners submit that the Port of Liverpool,
an emin
lificatient donsegree, combines all the requisites for the
above qua
It is not only the most central, but the most accessible
ort for the whole United Kingdom of Great Britain and
reland. cheater The several Railroads between Liverpool and Man-
pjositer, Liverpool and Preston, Liverpool and Bolton, Liver-
, and Birmingham, and thence to London, being already
l'onelnt:eleented, and. in active' oeration ; and the several Railroads
tol, and London and
Southampton,Birmingham and Bris-
thence
t,‘thp.nce to Exeter, Mancester, and Leeds, and
and Der!
" null, between Manchester and
.Derby, Sheffield
g es, and' and Preston and Lancaster, being now in pro-
;-1 which will be opened in the course of the present
withytiy—there'l.
-Y affording a direct and rapid communication
all parts of the gnorth, south, east, and west ; besides
.which there are powerful Steam-boats plying daily between
`Glasgow and Liverpool, Dublin and Liverpool, and all the
Other principal ports in Ireland, some of which have exten-
;sive intercourse with the West India Islands and Colonies.
That, in addition to the trade carried on by Liverpool with
'the West India Islands and Colonies, the port is
the great
*outlet for all the manufacturing districts of Lancashire,
Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire,
including a population of upwards of 3.000,000 persons,
which have also extensive connexions with the West India
Islands and colonies, and the Gulf of Mexico and Brazils.
That the entrance to the Port of Liverpool, for vessels of
'all sizes, is commodious and safe through the new Channel,
called the Victoria Channel—the depth of water on the bar
at low water ordinary spring tides bein 11 feet, and at low
g
water of neap tides 17 feet. At the
first quarter, 11 hours'
flood,
there is 18 feet atordinary springs, and 24 feet at neaps ;
and so on progressively increasing until high water. And
for thirty-four days out of 365 will there be so little as
11 feet water at low water, and that only for one half hour.
The said channel is also now well lighted and buoyed, and In
addition to the Lightship, Buoysr and Lighthouse, lately
placed in connexion with this new channel, another Lightship
will be placed therein as soon as ssible, which has met with
the unqualified approbation of the Trinity Board and of Cap-
tain Beaufort, Hydrographer to the Board of Admiralty,
thereby affording at all times of the tide, both night and day,
a convenient access to the port. This is fully borne out by
the fact, that her Majesty's Post-office Packets (two of which
leave Liverpool for Dublin every day at fixed hours, and two
Dublin for Liverpool,) regularly use this channel, and have
Met with no deterltion from a want of water.
That:Liverpooi has at all times had extensive conveniences
for Steamers of large sizes, and these conveniences are now
consideraNy increased; a new Dock having been lately com-
:Ppleted sufficient to take Steamers of the largest class, having
ates 70 feet wide, and one of the Graving Docks being now
in progress of alteration to admit Steamers of the same size ;
besides which, Foundries and Manufactories for Marine Steam-
, engines, and all the other necessary equipments for Steam-
: boats,'of high character and reputation have long been esta-
blished at Liverpool, and the Engines there made will hear
comparison with those of the first makers in the world. The
Marine Engines of several of her Majesty's Post-office Packets
'have been made there, and others are now in progress of ma-
-nufacture for other vessels belonging to her Majesty.
That Liverpool also affords great convenience for procuring
fuel, the coals to be had there being of good quality, in great
• abundance, and on moderate terms, which are used by Steam-
, era frequenting the port, and are sent for the use of
Steamers
'to all parts of the world. It also affords all other necessa-
ries for the vessels' outfit at as moderate rates, as good in
quality, and in as great abundance as any other port in the
'kingdom.
Your memorialists therefore pray that your lordships will
'take the same into your lordships' consideration, and give
directions that Liverpool may be appointed the port from
'Which the Steam Vessels to be employed in any communica-
tion bet Ween the Weit India Islands and Colonies and this
and at which they shall arrive.
te°nrltrt shall:depart,
And your Memorialists will ever pray, &c.
Liverpool, February, 1840.

TO THE PUBLIC OF LIVE :WOOL
AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD.

ITAVING been appointed to take the Management of
-2- 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 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 friendli.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."
