THE FANCY BAZAAR OF ROCK FERRY,

Yesterday a fancy bazaar was held in the large
assembly room in connection with the Derby Hotel, at
the pleasant village of Rock Ferry. The object was to
raise a fund for the erecting. of a new church in eonnee.
Lion with the synod of the Presbyterian chtirch in
England, in that locality, a requirement which has hang
been felt by the inhabitants, the present place of
meeting (the Albert-rooms), not being at all sufficient
in size to give the. neeessary accommodation to the
congregation, and being totally unfit fora .permanent
place of worship. In order to remedy the existing evils,
some short time since the following gentlemen formed
themselves into a committee for the purpose of-carrying
out the object : Messrs. K. Liversilge, Boyd,
senior, Boyd, junior, Brown, Barclay, Skel, Robin.
son, Buchannan, Walker, Lamont, Sorley, Forest,
and the Reverends Lundy and Henderson This
'committee soon raised, by subscriptions alone, the
sum of £6OO, and succeeded in obtaining a suitable site
at the west end of King-street, the owner (Mr. Barton)
giving 600 square yards of land, in addition to the 1,000
yards purchased. The intended edifice, which will be a
handsome structure, will contain sittings for about- 600
persons. At present, no architect has been selected, but
the Messrs. Hay, of Liverpool, have been requested by
the committee to prepare the plan and designs, which,
from the well known eminence of those gentlemee, there
can be no doubt. but that the greatest satisfaction will he
given to the eolunittee. The gentlemen of the district,
haying thus taken the initiative, their exertions were
speedik,respondA to by a large number of ladies, who
resolved upon holding a bazaar, in order to aid and assist
in defraying the expenses which such an undertaking
must involve, and which it is contemplated, exclusive of
the cost of the site of larul, will amount-to about £2,000.
These ladies set to work in • g,cod earnest, and yesterday
had the gritikettion of producing such a variety of
articles. and in such numbers, as showed the anxiety they
felt is the affair. The large room, which was most taste.
filly decorated for the ecc,,sion, and IPerally crammed
with fancy and ornamental articles, needlework of, every
kind, and many. other articles that were not only orna-
mental but. .exceedint!ly useful. Indeed,- we may say that
the baza, r•eontained such an an-ay of articlel. executed
with such taste, as hive rarely been surpassed if equalled
in any similar exhibbion. The articles in the stalls were
supplied by Mrs. Branch and family, Miss Wedgewoo4
and friends, Mrs. Browne and friends, Misa Leversidee,
Miss Robinson. the two Miss Boyds, Miss Canhane, Miss
Jones. Miss Kellack, Miss Henderson, Mrs. Drummond,
Miss Campbell, and other ladies, most of the shove, how-
ever, rendered additional assistance by acting, on this,
occasion, as the lady-shopkeepers.. Their nssi,ittity to
ght rid of- their beautiful wares was beyond all praise;
while the attention they paid to the purchasers made it
all hut impossible for the inn t obdurate heart to resist
emeh fair tepee err,. The.result was that good.saies were
effected, and - notwithstandeig the inclemency of the
weather at the early epart of •the :day, a considerable
amount was added to the funds. Refreshments were
served in an adjoining room. portion of Mr. Grihhip's
baud was in attendance anti played some popular airs in
the course of the day. Besides the ,etallse 1
ladies, two, under the .petronage of Mr- "

t. by ,he

gberally supplied then ce' •eshments, regular trodi-.rs
were present, the profit ‘,l each artiel6. sold being
p!aeed to, ,the proceeds of the day. As the 'we -ther
v. sterday was so exceedingly unpropitious, it has
been resolved to keep the bazaar open this day ato
to-mc)rrow, during which time, the fair, saleswomen wilt
he ,n attendance, and use their'sweetest smiles to induce
otherg to purchase—the result of which, no (10111':", will
be, that, all the articles, numerous and varied as they are,
will find purchasers.
