ST. PAUL'S CHURCH, SEACOMBE.

rimiE erection of this Church, the full half of whiCh
I is free, was undertaken in a season of great prosperity,
when its promoters could not have anticipated any difficulty in
its completion ; it has pleased God, however, that a financial
crisis should have interfered, which has more or less affected
all classes of the community, and in common with all other
religious and charitable objects, St. Paul's, Seacombe, has suf-
fered under its pressure.
The unfinished state of the Building must strike every eye.
A Church. whose chaste, though simple architecture has other-
wise attracted general admiration, remains in most unsightly
condition, its tower being raised li ' er than the roof,
while a Spire is needed to comp; le design of the Architect.
The interior also requires oral additions and decorations,
while a considerable deb I I remains to be liquidated.
It is proposed (D. V o hold a BAZAAR on the 6th, 7th, and
Bth of September ' for the purpose of raising a Fund to
meet the exigen • sof the case.
The folios' t, Ladies have kindly consented to assist in fur-
thering the above object :

fully solicited ; and will he thanfully received by any of the
Ladies above-named ; by the Rev. Edward Roberts' 8.A.,
Incumbent, and Henry Winch and Isaac Penny, Esqrs.,
Churchwardens. _ _ _

It is confidently hoped that a Church so greatly needed by an
important and destitute population, and now so largely attended,
will not be permitted to remain any longer in a condition so
inconsistent with the dignity of the Sanctuary; encumbered
with debt, in need of many requisites, and mutilated of its
natural dimensions.

The Bazaar will be opened at Eleven o'clock each day, and
continue till Five.

By the favour, of Lieut.-Colonel WI Lco x and Lieut.-Colonel
GARRAT, the Bands of the 81st and 46th will he present.
Packets will continually ply to and fro between Seacombe
and Liverpool.

This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and such are the properties of, this invaluable
Specific that persons labouring under the.--most distressing
Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lt tag°, and rendered

The astonishing success whit las crowned the application
of this external Medicine in t most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sr rer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and s after the ab!,-3st advice and every
other means had compl ly failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflict - .

havOitherto hail a prejudice against having recourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, 1 felt
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its
novelty? the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rem nain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer' I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain,—With many thanks, I am yours,
lIENRI VILLENNEVE.

ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of thedisorder.
