THE GREAT BALL at THE TOWN-HALL, on. the
occasion of HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY'S
MARRIAGE.
DETER STUBBS, Leader of the LIVERPOOL ROYAL
.31- ARMONIC BAND, has the honour to inform the Nobi-
lity and Gentry of Lancashire and Cheshire, and the public
generally, that he continues to attend Balls, Concerts, and
Parties, on notice, with the utmost promptitude.
Mr. STUBBS'S- Band has been so long before the Public
that, he flatters himself, he need not refer to his numerous
Patrons for referenc; still, he feels highly honoured in being
enabled to make the following extract from a letter of the
Mayor of Liverpool, relating to the services of himself and
Band on the recent great occasion at the Town-hall, in cele-
bration of her Majesty's marriage, and the snore so, as her
in person, years ago, honoured him
withmost hergra cioosunsma nd Majesty,s.

" Town-ball, Feb. 11, 1840.
" The Mayor must express to Mr. Stubbs his approbation
of the manner in which he conducted the music. The per-
foimance of his Band added much to the amusement of the
evening.

_,STLEY!S STOMACHIC OR DIGESTIVE PILLS.
THE great prevalence of that truly distressing complaint
Indigestion among the Upper, Middle, and indeed all
Classes of Society, has induced the Proprietor to give his
attention to the discovery of a Remedy, which would at once
remove or prevent it without giving any inconvenience to the
Patient. Mr. Prunsr.r.Ly has succeeded in forming a Pill
which will remove it ; and, after upwards of a hundred suc-
cessful trials, he is determined to make them known for the
public benefit. The ingredients of which these Pills are
composed are entirely vegetable; they act as a mild stimu-
lant to the digestive organs, and at the same time give
strength to the stomach, and therefore are confidently recom-
mended
as an excellent Dinner Pill to all Persons who suffer
from Indigestion, or sensation of fulness or uneasiness at the
stomach after meals.
They are particularly useful to Females before or after
confinement, or when troubled with head-ache or giddiness.
Doss.—For indigestion, one before or after dinner, or
whenever the attack comes on.—As an Aperient, two at bed-
time when necessary.
In Boxes, is. ; or Family Box containing three, for 2s. 6d.
Also, PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA. A pure
transparent solution, in which all the virtues of that admir-
able Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid and Cooling
Medicine for grown Persons and Children it cannot be sur-
passed, and being nearly tasteless, Children will take it
without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of Citron
it forins an effervescing Draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to Water, makes delicious
Lemonade, and as a refreshing drink in Summer nothing can
be more agreeable.
SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
Great attention is paid in the chemical combination of
these Powders, in order to neutralize a superabundance of
acid, and when mixed form a Draught quite equal to the real
German Water.
Prepared by J. PRIESTLEY, Chemist, 52, Lord-street,
Liverpool.

ATKINSON'S INFANTS' PRESERVATIVE.—This
popular medicine has been prepared and sold by the
Proprietors upwards of Fifty Years, during which time it has
attained so high a reputation as to be almost in general use,
nor only in Great Britain, but in every civilised country of
the Globe. The Preservative was originally intended as an
Antidote to those pernicious medicines for Children which
have Laudanum for their chief and only active ingredient ;
its success has fully answered the intent. It is an efficacious
Carminative, intended as a preventative against and a cure
for those complaints to which infants are liable, as Affections
of the Powels, Difficult Teething, Convulsions, Rickets, &c. ;
is an admirable assistant to Nature during the progress of the
Hooping Cough, the Measles, and the Cow-Pox, or Vaccine
Inoculation ; and its efficacy is fully established, by the fact,
that upwards of 100,000 bottles are annually sold in Great
Britain alone 1 and, it may be added, that this medicine is so
perfectly innocent, that it may be given with the greatest
safety to an infant immediately after birth !
Prepared only by ROBERT BARKER, (nephew and
successor to, and formerly partner with, the late Mr. ATKIN-
SON, the discoverer of this invaluable medicine,) No. 1,
Market-place, Manchester, and sold in bottles at Is. lid.,
2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each. Sold retail by all, respectable
Druggists and Medicine Vendors in Town and Country and

E. & T. TAYLOR'S
CONVENTRA2IED.IIIEAT LOZENGES.
O. MERCHANTS, CAPTAINS, • TRADERS, TRA-
VELLERS, and EMIGRANTS.--After the most
practical results, E. & T. TAYLOR, of 17, HOLBORN, (Lon-
don,) have succeeded in concentrating the Finest Meats into
the form of Lozenges, which, from their portability and nu-
tritious qualities, are of the last importance on board of
VESSELS destined for long voyages, as at any time, from
dearth of provisions or boisterous weather, when cooking
cannot be performed, they may be had recourse to, affording
all the nourishment of a substantial meal: and to the SET-
TLER in his new location they will prove of incalculable ad-
vantage, as one or two now and then dissolved in the mouth
will afford support for hours, whilst the cost, from their low
price, entails but a trifling expense ;. in fact it is downright
economy to possess them, they having superseded every other
invention. The MULTUM IN. PARVO or CONCENTRATED
MEAT LOZENGES will keep for any length of time and in
any climate, if preserved free from damp. None are genuine
but those bearing the signature of E. & T. TAYLOR on the
label. A liberal -allowance made to Merchants, Captains,
and Shippers. Sold in every principal town in the kingdom.

..CI.CHURCH EXTENION.
A us M
T a numerous MEETING of theS Inhabitants of Liver-
pool, held in the Music-hall, Bold-street, on Friday,
the 14th instant, for the purpose of considering the propriety
of petitioning the Legislature in favour of the motion of Sir
R. H. ING Lis for Church Extension ;
The Rev. Rector BROOKS in the Chair ;
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Moved by the Rev. HUGH M'NEILE, and seconded by
ADAM HODGSON, Esq.,
1. That the spiritual destitution of vast masses of the
population of England and Wales, and especially the fact
that, wherever such destitution exists, the poorer classes are
the first mad the chief sufferers, Lill loudly for the aid of a
Christian Government and Legislature.
Moved by T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., and seconded by the
Rev. R. P. BUDDICOM,
2. That the theory of the Church of England is a fold for
every sheep, and a shepherd for every fold; and that she
regards the souls of all as of equal value in the sight of their
Creator : but that this principle has been so lost sight of,
during a long period of national prosperity, that when the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners appointed by his late Majesty
made their report in 1836, there were 108 parishes or dis-
tricts, containing an aggregate population amounting to
2,590,000, for whom no more than 301,382 church-sittings
had been provided : and, granting that the chapels' of Dis-
senters in those districts furnished an equal number of sit-
tings, and that not more than half the entire population can
be considered capable of attending public worship, still the
conclusion is inevitable, that upwards of 1,300,000 of that
population, and those chiefly of the poorer classes, were to-
tally unprovided for : and, bearing in mind that upwards of
! six millions have been added to the population of England
and Wales since the commencement of the present century,
it is clear that some hundreds Of thousands might be added
to that appalling number, of persons similarly situated in
other parts of the kingdom.
Moved by the Rev. DANIEL WILSON, and seconded by
the Rev. FIELDING OtILD,
3. That the duty of Rulers, in reference to the public
worship and acknowledgment of Almighty God, is clearly
laid down in his Holy Word • that momentous interests are
at-stake ; and that it is a fearful experiment for a professedly
Cnristian Legislature to try (whether in deference to secta-
rian opinions, or to the suggestions of a mistaken and short-
sighted economy) how large a portion of the people can be
safely left without the pale of Christian Institutions : and
that it is an act of the most grievous injustice, to resolve
that that experiment shall be made at the cost of the poorer
classes, who can do little to help themselves, and on whom
penal measures, whenever necessary, are apt to fall with
peculiar weight and severity.
Moved by the Rev. Dr. TATTERSHALL, and seconded
by the Rev. JAMES HALDANE STEWART,
4. That a Petition to the House of Commons, embodying
the foregoing Resolutions, and calling upon the Legislature
to take the matter thereof into its mo serious consideration,
be adopted ; and that the Right Hon st .
Lord Viscount Sandon
and Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., be requested to present and
support the same.

JONATHAN BROOKS, Chairman.
The Chairman having vacated the Chair, it was moved by
C. S. PARKER, Esq., seconded by THOS. FORSYTH, Esq.,
and carried unanimously, that the thanks of the Meeting be
presented to him for his impartial conduct in the chair.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratunt.
MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently. at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
