BAZAAR FOR. ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH.

We are scarcely permitted to issue a single publication •
without affording a fresh proof of the attachment of the
people to our glorious. Church Establishment, and the scrip-
tural system of religious worship and instruction which she .
maintains. Every opportunity of evincing that attachment
is readily embraced ; and we hope we may now congratulate
the trustees of St. Saviour's Church, that they have a fair
prospect of seeing that edifice erected without being subject
to any considerable pecuniary responsibility. The Bazaar
in aid of the funds was held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday last, and on each day was very numerously and
fashionably attended. We are sorry our crowded space will
only permit us to give the following outline :7
The stalls, to the number of ten, were presided over by
Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. Ashton, Mrs. Leather;
Mrs. P. F. Curry, Mrs. Lime, Mrs. Hodgkinson,
Alston, Mrs. Dutchman, Miss Simmons, the secretary to
the committee, and several other elegantly-attired females,
who: appeared to vie with each other in their efforts to pro-
mote the laudable objects of the Bazaar, and practically to
second the simple appeal in the following lines, which were
composed by a lady expressly for the occasion :
Hither, stranger, turn thy gaze.
"ris the Queensof Beauty prays :
Here she doth not take her stand
With the laurel in her hand ;
Here she bears no victor prize,
Claims no knightly courtesies,
Praise and homage cloth not want,
But, a modest suppliant, •
Craves your kindly charity,
Presses you to come and buy.
Would that she could image forth •
God's enduring church on earth,
That bright Queen of Beauty, sent,
'Midst the world's wild tournament,
Not to crown the victor's brow—
Holier hands his boon bestow ;
Not to claim the adoring love—
That belongs to him above ; •
But her champion friends to cheer,
With a hope defined and clear;
But to make their hearts rejoice
.At-her true unvarying voice.
Ye, who love her teachings, come !
Help to raise another dome,
Where truth's record shall be found,
And the song of praise resound :
Ye, who mark her struggles, stay,
Help her on her pilgrim's way :
Ye, who in her courts have felt
All your heart within you melt,
Hither come in liberal mood,
Filled with glowing gratitude.
Come, and help us in our task ;
Prapers, as well as aid, we ask ;
Join with us in sweet accord,
To rear a temple-to the Lord :
ynur'efforts-ghould you bring, '
To perform so good a thing ;
And this day one way may try :
Come and help us—come and buy !

Contributions were forwarded by Mrs. Hugh Hornby,
Mrs. Sewell, Mrs. Wordsworth, the Misses Molyueux, Mrs.
Dugdale, Miss Littledale, &c.
Donations were received from the Queen Dowager, Lady
Ann Wilbraham, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Sherbourne, &c.
The following letter accompanied the donation from her
Majesty Queen Adelaide :
" Marlborough House, Jan. 7th, 1840.

" Lord Howe presents his compliments to the directors
of the Bazaar held for the benefit of the building of St.
Saviour's Church, Liverpool. He is commanded by the
Queen Dowager to transmit the enclosed note of £lO, as.
her contribution to that undertaking ; her Majesty regret-
ting that she has not had it in her power to send some work
of her own hand." •
The proceeds of the sale and admissions during the three
days• amounted to upwards of £6OO ; and, as the purposes
for which the Bazaar has been held are not accomplished, it
will be continued on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
next, from eleven to five ; but the rooms will not be open in
the evening.
