AN APPEAL FOR A POOR CURATE NEARLY
BLIND.

SOME friends of the Gowring, in considera-
tion of his very afflicted case having, without his know-
ledge, begun a private subscription in his behalf, it has been
determined to bring it before the Christian public, in the
hope that something will be done towards the support of a
very able minister of the Church of England, whose eyesight
has completely failed him for most of the duties of his office.
For, although lie is just able to see his way in walking, he
cannot discern the largest print, nor indeed any object what-
ever distinctly; and it is the opinion of his medical advisers,
that the case may even end in total blindness.

As his. mental and bodily powers remain unimpaired, and
as his knowledge of Scripture is considered very extraordi-
nary by every one who hears him, it is possible that, by and
by, he may meet with some occupation in the Church—as a
lectureship, where the reading of the Church Service would
not be required of him; and for this kind of duty he would
be admirably adapted by his gift of extempore preaching.
He was compelled to resign his Curacy, where he was fa-
voured by many privileges, and surrounded by almost every
comfort for four years. He has sought the most eminent
advice in the kingdom, and still his sight is becoming gradu-
ally worse, so that he felt it right no longer to remain in a
situation where an assistant curate has been maintained for
some time, for the sole purpose of affording him every possi-
ble means of recovery.

He is left without the least means of support, except £7
a-year, arising from sums invested in the Savings' Bank, and
except such as may be afforded him by friends. Relations
he has none to rely upon, and the little property which he
was expecting through his wife will probably be lost to his
family by the conduct of an attorney. He closes a statement
of his case to the Bishop of Ripon in these words :
" I am in my thirty-first year, and have a wife and one
child three years old ; and unless the Lord in his good Pro-
vidence should see fit to provide something for our support,
I know not what is to become of us, as we have not a single
relation who is at all able to assist us, and the stipend arising
from my present curacy will cease in about a fortnight.
The prospect before me is but a melancholy one ast o
temporal concerns, and_yet I feel persuaded that my present
affliction is sent by the Lord for some wise but mysterious
purpose. In the midst of all my trials my mind is not par-
tieularlv disturbed, as I firmly depend upon the word of
Jehovah, Trust in the Lord, and do good ; so that thou
shalt dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.' "

GENTLEMEN,
IN accepting the invitation from a number of influential
friends to appear as a CANDIDATE to represent you
at the approaching Municipal Election, I have only to ob-

attention to your local as well as the general interests of
of this great commercial community.

Soliciting the favour of your support on the day of elec.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
JOHN RIDGWAY

LIMING been most particularly requested to allow myself

General Welfare of the Town, and South Toxteth Ward in

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD

_
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING, a few days since, been honoured with a Requi-
-11. sition, signed by a numerous and respectable portion of
the Electors of your Ward,-inviting me to become a CAN-
DIDATE for the seat in the Town-council which becomes
vacant in November next ; and having been received by you
last evening, at a Public Meeting, in a most flattering man-
ner, I cannot hesitate to accept your invitation ; and, in
doing so, I beg you will permit me to offer my warmest thanks
for these marks of your distinction.
I am fully aware that a personal. Canvass is, in most cases,
equally as disagreeable to the Electors canvassed as to the
Candidate, but still, being unknown to many of you, I shall
endeavour, between this period and the day of Election, to
become personally acquainted with each of you.
It is, perhaps, necessary for me to declare that I am a sup-
porter of the general policy of those distinguished indivi-
duals who have been recently called to the Councils of her
Majesty, believing, as I do, that their firm and unhesitating
manner of conducting the public affairs will be the most ad-
vantageous to this great Empire, and tend to restore confi-
dence in the Government. lam ready to admit that there
have been several good measures carried by the late Admi-
nistration, and which, during their discussion, received the
support of some of the present Ministers.
The question which now engages the attention of the coun-
try, as regards the course at present pursued by the American
Government, is one in which this Town is most deeply
interested, from its connexion with the American Trade, and
I trust that every exertion will be used to prevent hostilities
between the two countries, which could not but prove most
calamitous to this great commercial port.
It is to be regretted that so much party feeling has been
introduced into some of the local questions which have been
brought before the Town-council; but it is gratifying to ob-
serve that the important question regarding the Dock
Estate has been so equitably arranged.

If I should have the hon" Our to be returned as your mem-
ber to the Town-council at the approaching Election, allow
me to assure you, that nn exertion on my part shall be
wanting to promote the general interests of the Town.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servaut,
JOHN B. LLOYD

DEAFNESS CURED

MRS. GARDNER,KURIST, from London, respectfully
announces that she has extended her stay in Liverpool
for One Month. Mrs. G. may, therefore, be consulted on
All Disorders of the Ear, at 75, Renshaw-street, until the
10th of November.
The success which has attended her practice during the
last fourteen years, in various parts of the United Kingdom
and on the Continent, having, by its innocence and efficacy,
insured her the confidence of the public and the patronage
of the Faculty (as attested by certificates both oral and do-
cumentary), any further comment on her part is unnecessary,
and she merely begs it to be borne in mind that, in cases
beyond the reach of art, her opinion may be obtained (per-
sonally) without the usual fee.
The late Dr. G.'s Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology,
and Diseases of the Ear, may be had at her residence, as
usual.

Certificates from the Faculty.
From the opportunities 1 have had of witnessing Mrs.
Gardner's treatment of Deafness, added to the communica-
tions that have been made to me by others of the faculty, I
have no hesitation in recommending that lady to all who
may require her advice and assistance.

Case of Deafness Cured of Forty rears' Standing.
Having had frequent opportunities of Witnessing the supe-
riority of Mrs. Gardner's treatment in patients that have
been placed under her care, both by myself and other mem-
ber of the faculty, I can with confidence recommend her to
all who labour under Deafness, or other Disorders of the
Aural Organs, and should be Wanting in justice to this highly-
talented lady, were I not to certify the cure of J. Goslett,
' Esq. No. 1, Old Merrion. This gentleman, having been
deaf for forty years, was pronounced incurable by more than
one eminent Aurist, and being now completely restored to
his hearing by Mrs. Gardner, has permitted me thus publicly
to announce it for the benefit of others,

Mrs. Gardner's successful mode of treating Deafness ap-
pears to me to depend as much on its mildness and innocence,
as on the speed with which its benefits are imparted to the
sufferer, and the simple fact of nine persons being cured out
of elven that I had recommended to her, needs no farther
eomrnent. W. Flues, Surgeon and Accoucheur.
