AN Aged and Afflicted ARMY MtDICAL
OFFICER, in his 71st year (whose services to his country
at Flushing, in 1809, at Gibraltar, in the Peninsular and Polish
Wars, in Africa,- in Turkey, and in the Crimea, have been
deemed worth of notice and reward by Her Most Grac ous
Majesty, and whose exertions in aid of the Patriotic Fund have
been appreciated by several of the nobility and clergy), is
reduced, by an incurable malady, and a late unavoidable mis-
fortune, to a state of extreme distress.
His case having been investigated by the competent
authorities, and deemed worthy of commiseration, Christian
sympathy is earnestly invited to render assistance to his dis-
tressed family. •

1 A PPEAL FOR FUNDS TO COMPLETE ST.
1711 MARY'S CHURCH, WAVERTREE.
Alter long continued efforts had been made with a view to
providing an additional Church in Wayertree, and considerable
difficulties in the way of such object had been overcome, the
first stone of the above Church was laid by the Rev. Augustus
Campbell, Rector of Liverpool, and Vicar of Childwall, on
Monday. the 15th of April, 1850 . •
The pecuniary means, up to that period procured, having
been found inadequate for the building of the wPfole of the
church, it was suggested. and in consequence resolved, to
build so much of the sacred edifice as should be re'piired for
immediate accommodation, namely the Nave, South Aisle
w. and
Porch ; and then, as funds could he obtained, to proceedwith
the other portions as set forth in the specification, and accord-
ing to the plans—that is to say, the Chancel, North Aisle, and
the Tower and Spire.
The Church, in its present state, was the result of the fore-
going suggestion and determination, and through the blessing
of God on the undertaking it was opened for Divine Service,
duay, nderthe the licence
of of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, on Sun-
At 2 February,
that time there was a heavy debt on the Church, which
proved an obstacle to its being consecrated; but by perse-
vering exertions, during three years, that debt was discharged,
and the Consecration took place on the ;th day of May, 1855,
when the Rev. Samuel Fenton, M.A., was appointed Incum-
bent; ail shortly afterwards a separate district was assigned
to it by an order of her Majesty in Council.
So many years having elapsed without any further progress
in the design as originally contemplated, there is a general
feeling that the church should no longer be allowed to remain
in its unfinished condition, but that renewed efforts should be
made with a view to its completion, for effecting which the
sum of £2,350 will be required; and it is to be hoped that there
will not be wanting persons willing to contribute means in
order to perfect a temple dedicated to Almighty God, and thus
of
afford accommodation for the rapidly increasing population
the district, and add an ornament and an attractive object to
• the surrounding neighbourhood.
For the purpose of carrying into immediate effect the above
most desirable work, the following gentlemen have ccnsented
to sat as a committee, with power to add to their number.
