THE GREAT BALL at THE TOWN-HALL, on the
occasion of HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY'S
MARRI4GE.
DETER, STUBBS, Leader of the LIVERPOOL ROYAL
HARMONIC 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 beforoihe Public
that, he flatters himself, he need not refer to Vs numerous
Patrons for reference ; still, he feels highly poured in being
enabled to make the following extract fro a letter of the
Mayor of Liverpool, relating to the service 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
most gracious Majesty, in person, years ago, honoured him
with her commands.

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

PRIESTLEY'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. PRIESTLEY 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 whicli 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.
DosE.—For indigestion, one before or after dinner, or
whenever the attack comes on.—As an Aperient, two at bed-
time when necessary.

In Boxes, ls. ; or Family Box containing three, for 2s. 6d.
Also, PRIESTLEI"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 Pet-Sons 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 forms an effervescing Draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to Water, makes delicious
Lemonade, and as a refreshing drink in Summer nothing can
he 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.

E. & T. TAYLOR'S
CONCENTRATED MEAT LOZENGES.
rllO MERCHANTS, CAPTAINS, TRADERS, TRA-
VELLERS, and EMIC:RANTS.— ..,..fter 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.

CHURCH EXTENSION.
111 A T a numerous MEETING of the 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 us for Church Extension

The Rev. Rector BROOKS, in the Chair;
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Moved by the Rev. HUGE WIN aux., and conde d by
ADAM HODGSON, Esq.,
1. That the spiritual destitution of vast asses of the
population of England and Wales, andecially the fact
that, wherever such destitution exists, tbyrp
Ooorer classes are
the first and the chief sufferers, call litidly 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 OULD,
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
Christian 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 ::Ind
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 most serious consideration,
be adopted; and that the Right Hon. 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.

MONS. LE DRAY, SURGEON-DENTIST, from the
Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London.
SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.
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.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
