DESSERT FRUITS.
MIDDLEWOOD respectfully informs his Customers,
o Friends, and the Public, that he is now prepared to serve
Desserts to any extent, with a variety of Fruits, not to be
equalled in England. His Pines are of superior quality.
Melons, Peaches, Grapes, with every choice English Fruit,
in Season. A few Forbidden Fruit, also French Pears of all
the most approved sorts. I-lis fine Imperial Blue Raisins,
for Desserts, 3s. the Box. The finest Muscatel Layers, in
Boxes and Half Boxes. New Jordan Almonds and Portugal
Plums, in Boxes, 2s. 6d. each. His Filberts, Cob Nuts, and
Walnuts, prepared for keeping, are the best sample that
could be procured in London.
J. M. begs respectfully to inform his Friends and the Pub-
lic, that his Establishment, patronised for 40 years by Roy-
alty and the Nobility and Gentry of the surrounding Coun-
ties, is an advantage which few Fruiterers can boast of. His
extensive connections with Growers of Fruit renders him able
to meet every competitor. His Pines, which were placed before
his late Majesty, were pronounced the finest ever beheld. Also
his Forbidden Fruit, which :could not be equalled in the
kingdom, has met with the same flattering praise by her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria this summer.
J. M. begs to offer to Country Dealers, &e:, Grapes in
Barrels and Boxes, of superior quality ; Portugal Onions in
Boxes ; also 20 Barrels of fine Portugal Quinces, for preserv-
ing Marmalade, &c. ; fine Jamaica and East India Preserved
Ginger; Limes and Tamarinds; Ditto Jamaica; fine Shad-
dock Marmalade, Guava Ditto, and Jelly.
Just landed, a few Quarter and whole Cartoons of New
French Plums, Pomegranates, and Spanish Melons.
Middlewood's celebrated Botanic Oil for the Hair, 25.,
3s. 6d., and ss. per Jar.
To prevent an idea that where all the Choice Fruits are
sold, Inferior Fruits are not to be had at moderate prices,
comparison is the best test, and J. M. will sell good Foreign
Grapes, legal weight, at 6d. per lb. Olives, Capers, and a
great variety of Pickles and Sauces at London prices.

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 somethin., 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 lie 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 fit 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 asto
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.' "

STAMMERING REMOVED ON EXPERIMENTAL
AND SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES.
AIR. STAFFORD begs most respectfully to announce to
the Nobility, Gentry, Merchants, and the Public ge-
nerally, that he purposes making a short professional stay in
LIVERPOOL. Mr. S. flatters himself that the celebrity
which he acquired during his former residence in this town,
together with his personal and practical experience during
the last TWENTY YEARS, will justify him in asserting, that
he will not undertake any case where success may appear
doubtful, of which he can determine at the first interview.
Operations and medicine ought to be strictly avoided, where
there is no organic defect.

Mr. Stafford's references are of the highest res
