LIVER THEATRE, CHURCH-STREET.
PROLONGED STAY FOR ANOTHER WEEK I !

. .
IN CONSEQUENCE OF GREAT SUCCESS.
AND POSITIVELY THE LAST WEEK ! ! !
FORGET not this advertisement, or you will lose the
opportunity of witnessing the wonderful, astonishing,
and extraordinary MAGICAL, NECROMANTIC, and
VENTRILOQUAL ILLUSIONS, performed at the above
Theatre, by that truly gifted and celebrated Artist

Mr. JACOBS,
The Royal Ventriloquist and Modern Magician, from the

Sirand Theatre, London.
He remains another week at the further request of his
Friends, and, as a proof of the satisfaction afforded to those
who have seen his indescribable and highly talented enter-
tainments, the Theatre has been better attended during the
past week than any previous one of Mr. J.'s appeartncc.
The audiences loudly applaud the various feats introduced,
and the general opinion is, that nothing of the sort previously
witnessed in Liverpool has been equal to it. He performs
all his tricks to the astonishment of every body, without
covered tables, confederates, or mechanical apparatus. The
Magicians and Wizards who have preceded him are now
thrown completely in the shade, and his Ventriloquism is
perfection itself. Being the last week, he will introduce a
new scene in the Ventriloqual department, entitled A LDER-
MAN GOBBLE and HIS CURIOUS FAMILY! SA-
TURDAY, May 22d, will positively close his stay. Doors
open at Half-past Seven, and commence precisely at Eight
o'clock.

Mr. JACOBS begs respectfully to state, that he has formed
an Engagement with the celebrated American Comedian,
EDMUND R. HARPER, the inimitable Negro Melodist,
who is engaged for Six NIGHTS only, being his last appear-
ance previous to his departure for America.

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL FUND.
A T a Public Meeting, held at the Sessions house,
11 Twelve o'clock yesterday, for the purpose of takil
into consideration certain parliamentary measures in en
temptation, materially affecting the Liverpool Merchs
Seamen's Fund,

THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Proposed by Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY, and seconded by
WILLIAM ROWETT, Esq.,
That the Liverpool Shipmasters' Association having aAcer-
tained that an alteration is contemplated by her :Majesty's
Government in the management and distribution of the Mer-
chant Seamen's Fund, by amalgamation into One Central
Board, it is the opinion of this meeting that such alteration
would be unjust in its operation, and is inexpedient so far as
regards the Port of Liverpool.
Proposed by T. M. GLADSTONE, Esq., and seconded by
Mr. CLINT,
That, as the disposal of the Funds for this Port must of
necessity be vested in a Local Board, we are of opinion that
no more eligible persons can be appointed for such board
than the resident merchants, inasmuch as the wants and
claims of the applicants will be better known and more
readily investigated by those who are acquainted with the
contributors.

Proposed by J. SeENct, Eoq
JOHNSON,
That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present aCi
of parliament, which enables the Liverpool Trust to colle6
and apply the Funds of this port, is amply sufficient, if pro.
perly enforced, to carry out the objects contemplated by the
act.

and second

Proposed by J. B. YATES, Esq., and seconded by Mr
WALKER,

That a 'deputation of the following gentlemen, Sir Joshn:

Port by the proposed chance.
Proposed by WM. DAN-SON, Esq., and seconded by Mr.

ALSTON, , -
That the Members for the Borough be requested to cc

the objects contemplated by this meeting.
Proposed by Mr. Moss, and seconded by C
RAMSAY,

once in each of the Liverpool papers, and also in the I
Shipping Gazette, and that the Mayor be requested to
mit a copy of the proceedings to the President of the
of Trade

THOMAS BOLTON, Mayor, Chairman.
