ST. PAUL'S_CHURCII, SEACOMBE.

THE erection of this Church, the full half of which
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, Seacomhe, 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 a most unsightly
condition, its tower being raised little higher than the roof,
while a Spire is needed to complete the design of the Architect.
The interior also requires several additions and decorations,
while a considerable debt still remains to be liquidated.
It is proposed (p. V.) to hold a BAZAAR on the 6th, 7th, and
9th of September next, for the purpose of raising a Fund to
meet the exigencies of the case.

I'lle following 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
importan t 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 WILCOX and Lieut.-Colonel
GA RRAT, the Bands of the Sist and 46th will be present.
Packets will continually ply to and fro between Seacombe
and Liverpool.

TO THE

EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Pilot Committee Room,
Liverpool, 28th August, 1848.

SIR,
JHAVE to request the insertion of the following
communications, which you will agree with me is but an
act of justice due to a worthy and meritorious class of the corn-
munity, viz., the Liverpool Pilots, and remain,
Your most Obedient Servant,
1). ROWLAND.

Pilot Committee Room, Old Church Yard,
Liverpool, 20th august, 1843.

- ,
DEAR SIR,
As from your statement in the papers of this
day, it is left doubtful whether the Pilot Boat referred to is a
Liverpool Pilot Boat, and having reason to believe it was not,
I shall feel obliged by your informing me distinctly on this
point, as, if it shall turn out that the boat in question was a
Liverpool Pilot Boat. the circumstances st ted to have occurred
on board must be brought under the consideration of the Pilot
Committee, I am, Sir,
Your most Obedient Servant,
1). ROWLAND, Secretary.

Wm. Ellis, Esq.,
late Surgeon of the Ocean Monarch.

Mr. Rowland,
SIR,
In reply to your letter enquiring of me whether the
Boat which picked up me and several others was a Liverpool
Pilot Boat, I can state with confidence that she was not. The
men on board of her said they were pilots looking out for in-
ward-bound vessels. I am, Sir,
Yours, respectfully,
W. ELLIS, M.R.C.S.
late of the " Ocean Monarch."

In addition to the above I add an extract of a letter from Mr.
Ilenry Powell, late passenger on board the Ocean Monarch,
dated Seacombe, 27th August, 1848:—" I distinctly affirm that
the treatment described below was not received from one of the
Liverpool I'ilot Boats."

Q ERJEANT'S LOTION, the only effectual Remedy
1.3 against Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout Sciatica, and Lum-
bago. Sold by the Proprietor, G. C. SERJ'EANT, No. 7, Lo-
vell's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of
Medicine. Price 2s. 9d. per Bottle.
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 Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.
Amongst many which are being daily received are thefollow-
ing testimonials :
Morley's fold, Strand. 18f4 August, 1846.

n,—l have hitherto.had a prejudice against hat=ing 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 I
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, I 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 happinesk—perfect quietude and freedom
rom nam. 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,
HENRI VI LLENNEVE.

14, Belmont-place. Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
Sia,-1 feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
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 the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.
