AN APPEAL FOR. A POOR CURATE NEARLY
BLIND.
SOME friends of the Rev. J. W. 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 he 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 tit 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 as to
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-
ticularly 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 ' "

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH TOXTETH WARD

GnNTLEMEN,
HAVING been most particularly requested to allow myself
to be Nominated as a CANDIDATE for the ensuing
Municipal Election to Represent your Interest in the Town-
council, and having yielded to such request, 1 deem it right
at this early period to solicit your Suffrages to insure my
Election as your Representative upon the principles of strict
Conservatism.
It shall be my constant duty to watch over your Local In-
terest, and to advance, by every means in my power, the
General Welfare of the Town, and South Toxteth Ward in
particular, in which Ward I have been a resident for many
years. Education in your Public Schools, based on the
firm principles of the Established Church, shall at all times
have my warmest support ; and, relying upon your cordial
co-operation to effect the success of the good cause,
I remain, Gentlemen,
Ever your faithful Servant,
S. LEE TROTMAN.

October 15, 1841

TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PETER'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
THE period for which you Elected me as Representative
for your Ward being about to expire, and a numerous
and highly respectable meeting of your body having taken
place yesterday, at the Clarendon Rooms, it was most gratify-
ing to my feelings to find that my attention to the duties of
the Council, during the last six years, has given you satisfac-
tion, and induced you unanimously to invite me again to offer
myself as a CANDIDATE for St. Peter's Ward at the en-
acing Municipal Election.
I therefore once more venture to offer you my humble
services ; and, should you be pleased to give me a renewal of
your confidence, it shall be my constant aim, as your Repre-
sentative in the Town Council, to give, zealously and inde-
pendently, my best attention to the duties of the office.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and obedient Servant,
JOHN W OOLLRIG HT,
Liverpool, October 12,1841.

No. 4. ST. PAUL'S.
TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PAUL'S WARD

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been requested by many influential Individuals
11 in your body to offer myself as CANDIDATE, at the
approaching election, as REPRESENTATIVE of your In-
terests in the MUNICIPAL COUNCIL, I hasten to obey
their call, and to solicit the honour of your Suffrages, should
you once more consider me worthy of this distinction.
Other pretentious than those which may be supposed to
he comprised in habits of business, zeal, and vigilance, 1 fear
it is not in my power to lay before you ; these I can promise
shall be exerted to the utmost in whatever may advance
your prosperity, and in promoting the faithful administration
of the Municipal Affairs of this vast and increasing Com-
munity. I am, Gentlemen,

. .
Your obedient Servant,
CHRISTOPHER RAWDON
Old Ball-street, 12th October, 1841.

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
jj AVING, a few days since, been honoured with a Requi-
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 feelinc, 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 honour to be returned as your mem-
ber to the Town-council at the approaching Election, allow
me to assure you, that no exertion on my part shall be
wanting to promote the general interests of the Town.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
JOHN B. LLOYD.
Liverpool, October 14, 1841.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ABE RCROMBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
MBE very kind and flattering invitation I have received
from a numerous and highly respectable body of Electors
in your Ward, to offer myself again as a CANDIDATE for
the representation of your interests in the Town Council,
demands front me the expression of my grateful thanks ' • and
as the period approaches when I must resign into your hands
the trust you so liberally. reposed in me three years ago, I
cannot longer delay avowing more formally my readiness and
my intention to accede to the wishes of my friends, and to
solicit once more a renewal of your confidence and support.
Having now resided for a considerable period in Aber-
crombie Ward, and during that time become personally ac-
quainted with many of you, it would be superfluous in ine to
enter into any detail of the opinions I entertain, knowing
that, frem past experience, they must he familiar to you; I
have, generally. speaking, opposed the measures of the
hitherto predominant party in the Council, because I believed
them to be wrong; calculated, probably, to gratify the feel-
ings of some, but in no way tending, as I conceive, to ad-
vance the real and permanent welfare of the community.
Nor is it easy to reconcile the inconsistency of that Party,
who, whilst they pretend to lament over the angry expres-
sions so frequently made use of in the Council Room, are
still willing to approve the conduct of those Representatives
who add fuel to the flame by the introduction of topics for
discussion, purely of a Political character ; and which, in my
judgment, have no connexion whatever with the duties of a
Town Councillor, thus increasing the very evil they are so
loud in condemning ; I therefore refrain from offering any
opinion on subjects of political interest, believing that my
duty, should I be returned as your Representative to the
Council, will be to beware of incurring the reproof given by
Lord Stanley, at Lancaster, to the Manchester Manufactu-
rer, when he said, Don't you think, Mr. Brookes, that it
would be better if every body attended to their own busi-
ness ?" It has been the practice with some of those whose
best security has been in the majority they could command
in the Council-room, to taunt the party with whom, on most
occasions, I have the pleasure to act, with illiberality—with
feelings of hostility towards others—and with being unfriendly
to the education of the industrious classes. That the pre-
sent syetem adopted in the Corporation Schools has appeared
to most of us to be objectionable, there can be no question ;
but that we are illiberal, or unkindly disposed towards any
class of the community, is an assertion without proof, and,
therefore, valueless; and with respect to our being opposed
to the advancement of Education, there are fortunately nu-
merous institutions in Liverpool for Religious and Moral
instruction, more than sufficient to satisfy every honest wind
that the charge is wholly unfounded, and the object in making
it a questionable one ; examples of illiberality, in this re
spect, which it is no idle boast to say, the party complaining
L would do well to imitate.
I will only further state that, should I succeed in being
chosen as your Representative, it will be my earnest desire,
as it has hitherto been, tnendeavour, to the best of my abi-
lity, to discharge the duties confided to my care with zeal
and fidelity.
I am, Gentlemen, with much respect,
Your faithful and obedient Servant.
ROBERTSON GLADSTONE.
