one of the Honorary Surgeons of that Institution, I beg

it shall be the highest object of my ambition to prove my-
self deserving of the confidence reposed in me.

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.

SECRETARY :
Rev. E. F. CHAMPNEYS, Falco?. court, Fleet-street,

TREASURERFOR LIVERPOOL:
A. W. POWLES, Esq., 4, Water-street.
A T the Monthly General Committee, on Thursday, the
Bth instant, 19 grants were renewed and 8 fresh ones
made, 3 of the latter being to the Diocese of Chester.
The aggregate population in charge of the 8 Incumbents
thus aided, is 59,727 ; the amount of the new grants,
£740 ; the average income of the Incumbents, £l5O each.
There are still 26 applications before the Committee,
most of them of a painfully urgent character, but which
cannot be relieved for want of funds, the income of the
Society being scarcely sufficient to maintain its existing
grants. These at present provide stipends for 230
Clergymen and 30 Scripture Readers. The Incumbents
aided by the Society have an aggregate charge of about
two million souls, or each on an average 8,475 ; while the
average amount of their incomes is only £172 each per
annum, and 127 of them are without parsonage houses.
Twenty-four of the Society's grants are towards the
maintenan'e of Clergymen for Churches without endow-
ment, or sufficient means for the support of a resident
Clergyman. These have been found most beneficial in
preventing the frequent change of Ministers, which too
often acts so prejudicially to the success of the pastoral
work in poor districts.
In addition to the direct operations of this Society
upon the large population above stated, it has been the
firtt to call public attention to the actual state of such
populations, and showing, by the results of its own la-
bours, the most effectual means for their amelioration,
has thus led to the institution of a similar Society in this
country, of one in Ireland, and another in India, while
the example has been followed on the Continent of Eu-
rope, by the evangelical Christians of Prussia.
The mere statement of these facts, it is hoped, will
be sufficient to stimulate the friends of pure religion and
of the public good to increased exertions and contribu-
tions on the Society's behalf, so as to enable it to main-
tain its present grants, and, if possible, to relieve some
of the pressing cases now urged upon the attention of the
Committee.
The Society is supported by ten of the Bishops best
acquainted with its operations (including the Bishop of
this diocese), and by upwards of two thousaad of the
most laborious of the Clergy.
The grants to the Diocese of Chester are for 74 addi-
tional Clergymen and 7 Scripture Readers, to the annual
amount of £6,740. Of these, 11 are to the town and im-
mediate neighbourhood of Liverpool, viz., 10 for Clergy-
men and 1 for a Scripture Reader, amounting to £930
annually.
