ST. SIMON'S PARISH CHURCH

On Tuesday the foundation-stone of St. Siroon's Parish
Church was laid on the site of the old church in Glouces-
ter-street, by the Rev. Rector Brooks. The friends and
subscribers assembled at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-
street, about half-past nine o'clock, and formed a proces-
sion, which was headed by several flags and banners. On
reaching the ground, the Hundredth Psalm was sung.
The Rev. Mr. CONNOR, addressing Rector Brooks,
then said that he had been requested to present him with
a silver trowel, and that he did not presume to do so in
his own name, but in that of the committee. By a recent
act of Parliament, he observed, that district had been
with the trowel,
in from the mother church, and when the new
building had been completed and consecrated it would be
a parish church. He felt it a duty he owed to the people
around, first of all to present the rector
marnof,
in the name of the parishioners of St. Simon.
them took a deep interest in the good
work, and
them looked coldly on, and "cared fornone Ofatnhyensef
thh'gs ;" but this feeling proved the necessity which
existed for having a church in the district. Those who
had a hope of everlasting happiness should be fed with
the breau of life ; and those without any hope should
have their sensibilities awakened by a free church and a
preached gospel. Secondly, be addressed the rector in
the name of the congregation of St. Simon. That congre.
gation was not large. The old building in which they
lately assembled was small, and therefore the smallness
of the congregation. No part of the wealth of Liverpool
joined them ; but, though they were the poor of the flock
in the land, he could testify to their zeal in this good
work, to their attachment to the cause of the gospel, and
to their anxious desire to carry out the glorious Protestant
watchword of church extension. Again he addressed the
rector in the name of the building committee of the new
church. That committee had been formed of some of
the members of the congregation, and also of some of the
trustees in whose hands the old building was placed when
first it was purchased by the Church of England. The
duty of obtaining plans and receiving estimates had
devolved upon the building committee, and they had been
most zealous in the good work, and most anxious to see
it carried out. But he must take higher ground than
this. They bad been told that " unless the Lord build
the house their labour is in vain that build it." They
had also been told to " do all things in the name of the
the Lord Jesus ;" and, therefore, in the name of God,
the Father, the great builder—in the name of God, the
Son, the Saviour who loved them and gave himself for
them, the foundation-stone of the church, and the top
stone too, the author and finisher of their faith,—and in
the name of God the Holy Ghost, by whom the stones of
the spiritual temple were finished, he presented the trowel.
He had only to add that the church was to be called by
the name of St. Simon. It was not called after the great
apostle Simon Peter, but after him who was called our
Lord's brother, and of whom it was written that he
preached the gospel in England, and died for it in Persia..
The name Simon signified one who bears and obeys; and
it was his prayer that the ministers who might officiate in
the new church would hear and obey: first of all, that
they would hear the voice of their God, and be well
instructed in the Scriptures. More than that—that they
would hear and obey the church ; carry out the glorious
doctrines of the Reformation contained in the articles of
the Church of England ; ever offer up their devotions in
the fervid and glowing language of the liturgy; always
walk in the steps of the apostles, rendering obedience to
the rulers set over them ; observing apostolical order ;
and believing, as he believed, that bishops were ordained
of God. He then handed the trowel.
The inscription plate was here inserted, and the mortar
laid on the bed. The inscription set forth that the first

stone of the Parish Church of St. Simon, erected by
voluntary contributions, was laid by the Rev. Rector
Brooks, on the 14th of July. 1816. Then followed the
names of the building committee and minister, and
three passages of Scripture, showing that Christ was the
foundation-stone of the Church. The bottle placed
under the stone contained the last report of St. Simon's
Schools, some of the coins of the realm, a copy of one of
the Liverpool papers, &c.
The Rev. Rector BRooss, having spread the mortar
and laid the stone, proceeded to address the assembly..
He said he could not allow the ceremony to pass over
without assuring them of the great pleasure with which
he had complied with the request of the committee, and
laid the first stone of this new church. As rector of this
probability of a completion. When he considered the

and a much higher regard—to that which was connected
with his eternal interests. It was, he said, creditable to.
the zeal of the people that the number built
of churches
throughout the whole of this diocese of late years was
greater than the number erected in any other part of the
United Kingdom ; but still, although much
had been
done, much remained to be accomplished. He then

The Rev. Mr. Cosmos then offered up an appropriate
prayer ; after which a hymn was sung, and the assemblage

held at the Concert-hall, and several hundreds sat

appearance of antique Oak, or to makii Deal assume the cha-
racter of Oak Panelli::g, whereby the effect of •the more costly
!nay be produced by the use of a cheaper material, these Stains
will be found more effective than any means hitherto employed.
IN OLD MANSIONS AND HALLS, where the Wood
Carvings and Panellings have faded, the application of these
stains will be found to revive and bring back the rich natural
colour, and which colour may be varied from the lighter to the
deeper shades of the most Antique Oak.
THE BIRCH WOOD, which has a fine natural grain, with
little colour, is particularly suited to the application of these
Stains ; and the appearance which it assumes after staining is
so near that of the natural wood, that it is only when the grain
and colour of the latter is particularly fine that is preferred.
Beech, Birch, Elm, Ash, and other Woods, English and Fo-
reign, receive the stains and produce various imitations.
For the exposed Timbers of the inside of the ROOFS of
CHURCHES, for which north country Timbers and Deals are
generally used, by brushing them over with the Stain, which
operation is very rapidly, and of course economically effected,
the appearance of an Oaken Roof will be produced. For co-
louring the backs of the seats, pews, the fronts of galleries, the
pulpit, &c. it is equally advantageous.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other
Governments, the Hon. East India Company,, the principal
Dock Companies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly
recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manu-
facturers, West India Proprietors, and others, it having been
proved by the practical test of nearly sixty years to surpass all
other Paints as an out-door preservative. It is extensively
used for the preservation of wooden houses, farm and other
out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories; park pa-
ling ; gates, iron railing, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent sla-
ting. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion over every other
Paint for out-door purposes may be easily inferred from the
imple fact that its use has been always most strenuously op-
osed by colour manufacturers, painters, oil and colourmen,
nd others interested in the sale of common Paints. It is also
