Et, ?" 1 Nors from .13Frry.ereet Lirerrgir .XO 10 0 .5 5 0 15 0 0 T HE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or Jl NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, ( and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life arc discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressin g train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &c. B u t the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumpti ve habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never be withont the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

Walter Frederick Campbell, of Islay, Esq., M.P. VICE-PRESIDENTS. , John M'Neill, of Collonsay, Esq., John Campbell Colquhoun, of Killermont, and - Garscadden, Esq., M.P. William Spens, Esq., Manager. This Society is founded on the most approved system, — that of mutual Insurance, which secures to the Insured the whole profits of a safe and prosperous business. As a simple illustration of the advantages of Insuring with this Office, it may be noticed, that a person of the age of 24 may, BY AN ANNUAL PAYMENT OF £9O, secure his family on his death, however early. IN A PROVISION OF FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS, while, if he lives long, the accumuloting Bonuses may be reasonably expected to make the original sum in the Policy double, and thus enable him to leave to his family A PROVISION OF EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS. In7a similar manner a person of the same age, with a small income, may secure corresponding advantages to his family, by an Insurance of £4OO, for £9 a year. At the first investigation into the Society's affairs, on the 31st December, 1832, a Bonus of 10i per cent. was declared on the Policies of seven years' standing, and so in proportion to the duration of the Policies equal to £420, on a Policy of £4OOO. The present state of the affairs of the Society fully warrants the prospect of a very favourable result at the 'approaching septennial investigation.

Sold by all r e s pectable Medicine Veners.—This medicine is recom mended to all parents, nurses, and others who are entrusted with the management of Children, as a Medicine of real and approved efficacy in preventing and removing those disorders to which Children in their early Infancy are most liable ; principally proceeding from a redundance of Acidity in the first passages, Wind, the Watery and Dry Gripes, Convul sions, the Frog, &c., in which so many Children fall victims ; but which may, in general, be prevented, by the use of th e Preservative. It is also happily calculated for allaying those excruciating Pains which Children suffer in cutting their Teeth ; and will, by being previously used, render this opera tion of Nature perfectly mild and free from danger. It is also equally efficacious in many other Disorders to which Children are liable, as the Rickets, looping Cough, &c., and it may be added, that this Medicine is so perfectly inno cent, that it may be given, with the greatest safety, to an Infant immediately after birth ; and its efficacy is fully esta blished by the simple fact, that Seventy Thousand Bottles are annually sold in Great Britain alone. N.B.—Please to be particular in asking for Atkinson's Infant's Preservative, and observe the name of " ROBERT BARKER, 1, Market-place, Manchester," upon the Go vernment Stamp, affixed over the cork of each bottle of the genuine Medicine. Beware of Counterfeits. TEETH. MR. ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, of the Firm of Es- SELL and Sows, Surgeon Dentists, of Oxford-street, London, and Norfolk-street, Sheffield, may be consulted at Mrs. LLOYD'S, 36, (late 95,) BOLD-STREET, Li ver p oo l, _____ OPPOSITE THE PALATINE CLUB-ROUSE Mr. E. continues to FIX Alefliiii.l;'lLETH on his entirely New Principle, without tying or twisting wires: they are constructed in such a manner that it is impossible to dis cern them from the productions of nature. The peculiar ad vantages of these Teeth are, that they operate as a support to those which remain in the mouth, if any, and prevent their ap proximation, and even Loose Teeth are held firm in their sockets by their aid. They may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with fa cility, and will continue securely fixed pn the gums ; they will retain their colour, perform .mastieition, assist articula tion, and cannot be distinguished flinn those of natural growth. The inconveniences attending the LOSS of TEETH are too well known to require comment; but to those who have not experienced the comforts of Artificial Teeth, Mr. Eskell is desirous of showing the difficulties more or less en dured by every individual without Teeth. When the Teeth fail the destruction of the sockets invariably ensues : one cannot exist without the other. The process of absorption commences immediately after the tooth is extracted, or, in many cases, the gum and sockets waste away, and cause the teeth to become loose and drop out. When the teeth are gone and their sockets absorbed, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted ; and the eyes, the nose, the lips, and chin, are sadly disfigured and drawn from their original position. These Artificial Teeth are constructed to supply this defect of na ture, and gradually to restore the features to that uniformity so essentially requisite to a youthful appearance and perfect articulation. In consequence of the great improvements in the Mechani cal Departments of Dentistry. Mr. E. is enabled to lower his charges to the following scale : A Single Artificial Tooth A complete Set 5 0 0 A complete Set of Mineral Teeth, Gold ls 15 0 Plates, highly finished ........... I A complete Set of Incorrodible Teeth, first workmanship, usually charged 25 0 0 Fifty Guineas FILLING DECAYED TEETH. Mr. Eskell's celebrated MINERAL TERRA METAL LIC, for filling Decayed Teeth, without heat, pain, or pressure. This Mineral is applied in a soft state like paste, to the cavity of the Decayed Tooth, however large or small the cavity ; it hardens in a second into an enamel, becomes incorporated with the outer shell, arresting thereby the pro gress of further Decay, and Toothache, and lasting for many years. Loose Teeth fastened, whether arising from old age, the use of calomel, neglect, or natural diseases of the gums. All other Dental Operations, Scaling, Separating, Extract ing, and Regulating Children's Teeth, Mr. E. performs with case and safety. Mr. E.'s system of practice combines all the modern im proved methods adopted in London, the only_opportunity of the kind to be met with, without visitin g the Metropolis.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER DISTIN GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND CLERGYMEN OF THE, UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND, AND OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A. IT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise I a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland, both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of America; and the distinguished patronage with which this undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro nvietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to tne nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera ble and Apostolic Church. The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and their Congregations. To the Clergy who may wish to possess Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are over them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and esteem, present Work will be full of interest and pleasure. To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica-' Lion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake." The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal, being the great objects proposed to be recorded. The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is given, together with a list of any religious or literary works which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority, that it would add much to the interest and value of the work, if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such communications. And as only about four pages on an average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural illustration, brevity will be highly . desirable. The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art, and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and one of the most splendid that has ever appeared. A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for .the protection of the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by seven. _ s. d. Price of each Part, India Proofs Ditto ditto, Imperial Quarto Proofs .. 12 0 For the convenience of Subscribers and others, each Plate may be had separately.

All Portraits will be given in full canonicals ; and those Clergymen mho have approved likenesses will oblige the Proprietors by lending them for the purposes of this Work. They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense ; but where no Portrait exists, the Proprietors will have one painted expressly for the Work at their own expense. Part I. is now ready, containing a Portrait and Memoir of THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER. THE REV. HENRY MELVILL. RYALL'S CONSERVATIVE PORTRAITS. Each Part contains three Portraits, uniform in style, size, &c., together with twelve pages of letter-press, devoted to condensed Memoirs of the individuals represented : the sizes, small folio and imperial folio.

Before E. RUSHTON, and R. V. YATES, Esqrs. THE MAJESTIC. - MUTINY.-FORFEITURE. OF WAGES. Two coopers, named Bedson and Hudson, had obtained summonses against Messrs. Horsfall and Son, the owners of the Majestic, for £lO each, wages alleged to be due to them. The men had been taken out of the Majestic, in the river Bonny, for mutinous conduct, and sent home on board the Kingston, another vessel of Horsfall and Son's, and having done some work on board that vessel, now claimed two months' wages for that employment. Mr. Davenport ap peared in support of the claimants. Mr. Carson, solicitor, who appeared for Messrs. Horsfall and Son, called the mate of the Majestic and several wit nesses, who proved that on the voyage out these men had disobeyed orders, particularly in smoking during work-hours. contrary to the orders of Captain Allsop: That on the ar rival of the ship at Bonny they had refused to work, and that Bedson had gone upon the quarter-deck with an adze in his hand, supported by Hudson, and threatened to cleave the master with it, and that, by their conduct they had excited the other coopers into a state of mutiny. The master had then, for the safety of the ship, sent these two men on shore, and put them in irons in King Pepple's house, from whence they were sent on board the Kingston. The master of that vessel had promised them, if they behaved well, they should not be kept in irons, and, on their working, had given them the ship's allowance instead of short fare. Mr. Carson con tended that they had no claim for wages, and he trusted the bench, on these facts, would at once dismiss the case. Mr. Rushton said the men's offence had been most aggra vated. They had behaved in a most disgraceful way, and he should certainly dismiss the application. [PRICE FIVEPENCE.

THIS unique and nectario us Li queur h as , f or near l y a 1 century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of - the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bon vivant: of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, paseesses the combined. sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improtes by age. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while be masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

Liverpool, November, 1839. INQUESTS. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—On Saturday last an inquest was held before Philip Finch Curry, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of Felix Morgan. The deceased, who was about thirty-six years of age, was employed at the foundry of Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Co. On the afternoon of Sa turday week, the deceased was assisting another man in put ting plates of iron, intended to be bent between two rollees, and they had previously .set the machinery a-going. The machinery is turned by steam, and it takes about three quarters of a minute for the plates to pass between the rollers. The deceased was on the side where the cog wheels are, and his apron was caught by them, and he was drawn in instantly. His fellow-workmen pulled him out, and saw that a large piece was taken out of the upper part of his thigh. The de ceased was immediately taken to the Northern Hospital. It appeared that there was no way of preventing an accident of this kind occurring but by care on the part of the workmen; and it would not have occurred if the deceased had not hap pened to have an apron on, which the men so employed are not allowed by the rules of the foundry to wear. The sur geon of the Hospital stated that the deceased had received a severe lacerated wound of the right thigh. Every thing was done for him, but the injury was so severe that he died on the 28th ult.—Verdict, " Accidental death." DEATH BY FALLING FROM A SCAFFOLD.—An inquest was held before Mr. Curry, yesterday, on view of the body of William Venables. The deceased was a plasterer in the employ of Mr. Jackson, in Soho-street. He was at work with another man on Thursday week, on a scaffolding ele vated about six feet from the floor, inside the dining-room of a house in Shaw-street, when a centre prop gave way, and a plank on which he and his fellow-workman stood broke, and they both fell together. The leg of the deceased was under the plank, and sustained a compound fracture. The deceased was attended by several professional gentlemen, and his leg was set. As, however, he continued to get worse, Mr. Eckerley, surgeon, was called to the deceased on Wednes day, and found him in a sinking state from erysipelas, of which, in defiance of all applications, he died on Friday. It appeared, from the testimony of one of the workmen who was with him at the time, that they had, in order to save trouble, taken some planks that were at hand for the scaf folding, which were not sufficiently strong.—Verdict, " Ac cidental death," accordingly. NEW GLASS.—The immense conservatory at Chatsworth is being glazed with a new description of glass, called patent flattened crown glass : by means of which, in the ridge and furrow mode of roofing invented by Mr. Paxton, a great im provement may be made in the construction of hot-houses. This glass is so much thicker than the common crown glass, that it is in no danger of being broken by hail-stones, and the panes may be made 40 inches long at the same cost 1)4: foot aA 9,414§Fy /lied pawsp!--keik infgffienen i ) A 3g • Li t ''' ' .... 11'0) ii•cf" , k ' . .t • , '7, "Z N l '?

CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED STATES . ' —For many years after the first sett'ement of America, most of the books written here fo r th e press were printed in Eng land. The first American press was set up at Cambridge, in Massachusetts, as early as 1638 ' • in. 1700 there were but four presses in the colonie s ; i n the United States, in 1800, 300; in 1830, about 1,200 ; since which time the number has much increased. The number of newspapers - printed in this coun try, in 1775, was 37; in 1801, 203; in 1810, 359 ; in 1834, nearly 1,300 ; and the present number is about 1,400. The number of copies of newspapers circulated in the United States in 1801, was computed at 12,000,000 or 13,000,000; in 1810, at 22,222,200; the present number does not probably fall much short of 100,000,000. The other productions of the press have increased in a similar description.—American, .Alinanack for 1840. TAR-MAKING IN SWEDEN, NORTH OF THE BOTHNIAN GULF.—The machinery of the. world could scarcely go on without .tar; yet we seldom think of inquiring how it is made. Fir trees (pines sylvestri.s), which are stunted, or from situation not adapted to the saw mill, are peeled of the bark a fathom or two up: the stem, This is done by degrees, so that the tree should not decay and dry up at once, but for five or six years should remain in a vegetative state, alive, but not growing. The sap, thus checked, makes the wood richer in tar; and at the end of six years the tree is cut down, and is found co nver t e d a l mos t en ti re ly i n t o th e substance from which tar is distilled. The roots, rotten stubs, and scorched trunks of the trees felled for clearing land, are all used for making tar. In the burning or distilling, the state of the weather, rain, or wind, in packing the kiln, will make a dif ference of 15 or 20 per cent in the produce of tar. The la bour of transporting the tar out of the forest to the river side is very great. The barrels containing tar are always very thick and strong, because, on the way to market, they have often to be committed to the stream'to carry them down the rapids and waterfalls. The price is only 6s. Bd. sterling to the peasant, and often not so much. It would not pay ; his time and labour; and tl#oK.w.ll9, follow tar-inaldng are always the most - indigent ;.-hui_the.y...tunid_ deliver_ to. the " privileged" merchants. of the towns, who are generally their creditors, the. articles these , choose to take, not that which in a free-market will best repay the maker.—L a i ng ' s Tourin Sweden, in 1838. . CUSTOM 'UNDER THE GEORGES.--=-Various extravagancies of attire survived Queen Anne, and the two first Georges. In the reign of the former, the dress .of noblemen and gentlemen consisted of square cut coats anti. long flapped waistcoats, meeting the stockings drawn over the knee so high as to con ceal the breeches, but gartered below it; large hanging cuffs and lace ruffles ; the skirts . of the coat stiffened out with wire or buckram, from between which peeped the hilt of a sword ; blue or scarlet silk stockings, with gold or silver clocks ; square-toed, short-quartered shoes, with high red heels, and small buckles; very long and formally curled perukes, with three-cornefed hats laced with gold or silver, completed the outer man. The tie-wig, bob-wig, and pigtail, were the additiqns of the, two next reigns: George the Third's reign began with a large.cocked hat, called a Kevenhutter, impor ted from Germany, some of which were open before, like a church spout, or the scales they .weigh flour in. Gold laced hats are said to have been general in 1775 and in 1778, and were adopted by many as a military distinction, or to escape the pressgangs that were busy in the latter year. Round hats began to be worn, about the breaking out of the French revolution, which, besides the downfall of the three cornered cocked hat, witnessed also the disappearance of the wig and the practice of " frizzing, plastering, and powdering the hair, till it was at least is ugly as a wig." In 1789. the shirt collar appeared, and the ruffle vanished. About the same period pantaloons and Hessian boots were introduced. Short boots and loose trowsers were the res.ilt of the visit of the Cossacks in 1814 ;_ and with some slight variations of she" together with the frock coat, form the present undress. - The changes in ladies' dress arc too numerous and evanescent to follow. They continued to wear white stockings in modelling till 1778: lair-powder maintained its ground tilf 1793, when it was discarded by Queen Charlotte and the princesses, and rapidly disappeared from the toilette. The large hoop was only worn at court on in full 'dress towards the close of the eighteenth century. George IV. abolished the court-hoop.--. Wade's British History. ORIGIN OF THE SOUTH SEA SCHEME.-Sir John Blount, a scrivener, who matured, if it could be so called, the South Sea scheme, had formed his plan upon the Mississippi scheme, which, in the precedi ng y ear , h a d f a il e d i n F rance , an d h a d ruined whole families. Undeterred by this warning, *VIA the wary Duchess of Marlborough sought and obtained from Lord Sunderland subscriptions for herself and her friends and connections, as the greatest boon that ministerial power could grant. But to her sound, shrewd mind the fallacy of ail the expectations which a greedy public formed was very soon apparent. The duchess was not one of those stars et our late days, before whom an astonished world bends with adoration. Mathematics and logic had never directed ber powerful understanding. She, was no political economist ; her speculations on all such subjects arose out of the groat practical lessons which she had. witnessed. Her education had been limited. To arithmetic, as a science, she was a stranger. " Lady Bute," says the ingenious writer of the re cently published anecdotes of Lady Mary Wortley Montague, " sat by her (the duchess) whilst she dined, or watched her in the curious process of casting up. her accounts—curious, because her grace, well versed,' as she was, in all matters relating to money, such as getting it, hoarding it, and turn ing it to the best advantage, knew nothing of common arithmetic. But her sound clear head could invent an arithmetic of its own. To lookers-on, it appeared as if a child had scribbled over the paper, setting down figures here and there at random ; and yet every sum came right to a fraction at last, in defiance of Cocker." Yet it was this untaught mind, disturbed often by bursts of passion, and in love with wealth and all other worldly advantages—it was the Duchess of Marlborough, who, of all her claSs, was the first to d e t ec t th e fallacy of that scheme by which a whole tuition had. been, en snared. When the • value of the Stdek rose to an unprece dented height, and the public were more than ever infatuated by false hopes, she saved her husband and her family from ruin, not only by her foresight, but by her firmness. Let those who would wholly preclude women from any participa tion in masculine affairs, remember 'how often their less bi assed judgment, their -less employed hours, have been made available to warn and to save. The duchess happily had suf ficient influence over her husband to rescue his disposable property from any further investment , in the South Sea stock. She resisted all the entreaties of Sunderland to employ any further portion of capital in the scheme ; she foresaw that no profit would now satisfy the public . mind, excited to an un natural degree, and predicted that the fall of the stock would be as rapid as the rise. She not only withheld the duke's hand, but_ persecuted him to sell out his shares, by which prudent step. he realised, it is said, a .hundred thousand pounds ; and this clearsightedness on the duchess's part was the more admirable, that it was wholly singular. It was the age of speculation and of.compttnies ; and many of the nobi lity were at the head of some new ophemeral speculation. The Prince of Wales was made governor of the, Welsh Copper Company ; the Duke of Chandos, of the York Buildings; and the Duke of Bridgewater formed a third for banding houses in London.—Memoirs of the Duchess of Marlborough. SUBSTITUTES FOR OPIUM.--The Peruvians - have been ac quainted, for a long period, with the virtues of a small tree called coca, whose leaves possess properties resembling the effects of opium. The leaves of this plant are plucked three or four times a year, and after being carefully dried, are packed in small baskets. Many chew these leaves as others do to bacco; and, such is the sustenance derived from them, that they frequently take no food for four or five days, although constantly working ; and whilst they have a good supply, they feel neither hunger, thirst ; nor fatigue, and without any injury to health they can remain upwards of a week without the refreshment of sleep.- Coca proves to the Peruvian the highest source of giatification ; for, under its influence, the imagination presents the most fascinating scenes. Many, to indulge in its use, forsake the rationalassociations of civilized life, and return in the evening to the woods, to revel in the uninterupted enjoyment of its magic qualities. Prostrated under a tree, its votary, heedless of the storm, the darkness of the night, or the attacks of .wild beasts reposes happy and contented, until the morning awakes him to a sense of his own degradation, and induces him to return a frightful picture of unnatural indulgence. When a Peruvian starts on a journey, he carries with him a small leather pouch, for hold ing coca, and a calabash for lime or ashes of the nwlle, to mix with the coca. Thus equipped, a inan will undertake to con vey intelligence upwards of one hundred leagues without any other provision. These persons are termed chosques, or chosqueros, a name given to the.condactors of mails. Men of this description were employed for the transmission of in telligence by the Incas, long prior to the invasion of the Spaniards ; and some of these couriers have been known to convey news a distance of six hundred miles in six days. The coca appears to be a kind 'of Arnerican opium, closely resem bling the opium of the poppy in ifs effects, and presenting a most remarkable analogy in its history and uses, with that of the Oriental drug.—A mushroom, which grows in Siberia, and which is not uncommon in this country, is used es a nap cotic in Kamschatka and other parts of the Russian empire. The fungus or mushroom is eaten without any preparation ; and two small ones afford a moderate dose. The effects of this exhilarant have more resemblance to the intoxication produced by spirits, than to the sober, dreamy visions, in duced by opium. Its ordinary effects are giddiness, gaiety, a flushed countenance, and incoherent talking ; it renders some very active, and proves highly .stimulant to muscular exertion. Too large a dose brings on violent spasmodic af fections; and such are its excitements on thenervous system that it renders many very silly and ludicrous. If a person under its influence wish to step over a straw or a small stick, he takes a step or a small jump sufficient to clear the trunk of a tree : a talkative person can neither keep silence nor se crecy ; and one fond of music is perpetually singing.—Dub lin University Magazine. A SINGULAR CASE - Or FORGERY.—A very painful in stance of forgery on the bank occurred in the Strand, soon after the decease of Mr. Coutts:. A young man of gentle manly appearance and good address presented a cheque for £5OO, drawn on Messrs. Coutts' bank, which, on inspection by the cashier, was considered to 'be a forgery. The bank, having suffered considerably about that time from similar fraud, the clerks thought it necessary to mention this de tected instance to the partners of the firm, who happened to be in the house at the moment. They, therefore, requested the applicant to walk into the parlour at the extreme ead of the bank, where he would find Sir Coutts Trotter and Sir Edmund Antrobus. These two gentlemen having examined the paper, instantly saw it was a forgery ; but feeling, if they took any legal step in the matter, the wretched man's life would probably be the forfeit, they most humanely consulted to let him off quietly ; therefore, they agreed that they would retire from the room, leaving the young man alone there, so that, observing he was suspected, he might rushforth through the bank and effect his escape. Accordingly, they withdrew, giving secret orders that he was not to be arrested in his progress if he came forth. All watched in anxious sus pense, but the young man still remained in the parlour; and they, knowing that the windows towards the Thames could not be opened by human strength, considered he might have fallen insensible from the horror of detec tion. • They instantly -returned to the room, and found the delinquent sitting near a desk, on which stood a lau danum bottle, whose contents he had evidently swal lowed ! Their humane intention thus shockingly frustrated, the gentlemen were obliged to make the case public in send ing for medical aid to several places, and of course prosecu tion then became inevitable. The effects of the poison being counteracted in time; the forger was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Mrs. Coutts was in agony ; she neither ate nor slept, and her distress of mind was increased by the incessant applications from the family, (who proved not to be of the most respectable order,) saying that " she was go ing to take the man's life away, as all depended on a word from her." It was in vain she stated that the offender, by his rashness, had put the matter beyond privateinterference, and that she had no power to save him from any punishment the law awarded; representing the misery they inflicted by charging with indifference a person who would think no ef fort too great to save him. After great exertion of interest, it is said, Mrs. Coutts made personal application to the high est quarter ; she obtained at length the happiness of having his punishment transmuted to transportation for life. The thanks she received from his friends were conveyed by the announcement, " that " it was no use for her to have saved his life unless she settled on him the means to live comfort ably out of.the country.; and as the whole family intended to emigrate, they expected she would defray the expence of their passage and establishment in New South Wale,s,"o 7 diem, tr! fif 4 9 r grace Om pachos Noo, . . • &out') Muttira. _______ .10,ea vessel, and having a large portion of her cargo rea4, will be promptly despatched. 44 3 , For MONTE VIDEO and BUENOS AYRES, (if open,) Milt The very supe r i or A 1 Barque MONTAGUE, 11 1 ;;; Captain CRABB Made one voyage, and proved to be a very swift 11.1,,t0.Wrg GF the li i i 3 ng' E s y Do o c r k t . o —For freight or passage JAMES POOLE and Co. ..0n....
