RENEWAL OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND
CHARTER.—The time having expired which empowers
the Government to give notice to the Bank of England that
its Charter may be revised or otherwise, and without which
the Act of 1844 will continue in full force with all its strange
anomalies and restrictions upon the commerce and industry
of the country, merchants, bankers, and others interested in
placing our monetary system, and more especially the Issue
of Bank Notes, in harmony with our increased commerce at
home and abroad, are solicited to give their attention to this
subject before the coming Session of Parliament, and to assist
by every means in their power to extend a knowledge of the
question throughout the great commercial and manufac-
turing towns of the United Kingdom.
All parties desirous of assisting to accomplish this object
are invited to join a Society, now in progress of formation,
with the view of uniting in one body all practical men, that
they may point out to the Legislature the true nature of a
currency system adapted to meet the rapidly advancing pro-
gress of Society, the requirements of our extended commerce,
and the vastly increased production of the Precious Metals.
All communications in furtherance of the views of the
Society may be addressed to the Editor of the " Bankers'
Circular," Secretary pro tem., 32, Lombard-street, London.

APPEAL ON BEHALF of ST. MATTHEW'S
CHURCH AND SCHOOLS, SCOTLAND-ROAD,

LIVERPOOL

This large District, containing a population of some eight
thousand, has long been distinguished as being one of the
most destitute and neglected in Liverpool.
When the Rev. Henry Cooke undertook the sole charge of
the District, last December, under very reenact* circum-
stances, the difficulties arising on all sides were such. com-
bined with the absence of any support, as to render it almost
impossible to believe that any exertions could succeed. How-
ever, being fully persuaded that the Lord would stand by His
own work, and acknowledge His own truth, Mr. Cooke en-
deavoured to go forward in simple dependence upon the
blessing of a covenant God, and surely, after nine months of
much trial, he can testify that of a truth the Lord has been
with him.
