This excellent Medici , so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least er or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happ 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 gai ni ng even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every ether means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. Amongst many which ars being daily received are thefollow mg testimonials : 7 _ . . . - _ _ Morley's Hotel, Strand, 18th Aug:est, 1846. SI ft,—l have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, an d having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London an d 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 th a t w b icn was, from its novelty, greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedons rom nem. 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 hays not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, hENRI VILLENNEVE. Well-street, Cripplegate. SIR, I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part . from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Foi : tunately your remedy was made Known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London.

LONDON SHARE MARKET.—YESTERDAY in the Railway Share Mar This is " pay-day matters are looking better as regards all the lines. There has been a rally in Eastern Counties, Midland, and all the York lines, as well as in North Western, Itc. Much atten tion seems likely to be directed to the proposed system of working railways by contract, and which is considered to have been already successful in the Midland Great Western of Ireland. The plan is to be tried on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham. LONDON CORN MARKET -YESTERDAY Tha quant our market this morning was very moderate, but in fair ave rage condition. On the whole the attendance of buyers was tolerably good. The demand, however, for all kinds of English Wheat—the number of samples of which on offer was small— ruled extremely inactive. A few picked qualities were taken at prices about equal to those paid on Monday last ; out to effect sales of the middling and inferior kinds of both red and The market closed was Hot effected ', and a total clearance of the stands Notwithstanding that the supply of Oats was comparatively small, the demand for that grain was in a sluggish state. Prices, however, were firmly supported. The sale for Beans was in a very inactive state, at last week's quotations. In Peas next to nothing was doing, at late rates. Indian Corn and Meal sold at previous currencies. The The Flour trade was heavy, and the late improvement in value was with difficulty supported. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET With foreign stock YESTERDAY rately supplied, yet a portion of it left the market unsold, from the want of buyers. Notwithstanding that the receipts of Beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., were not so extensive as were those on Monday last, they were seasonably large, and of most excellent quality. The attendance of buyers being small, and the weather unfavourable for slaughtering, the Beef trade was excessively heavy. at Friday's derlinp in thp quotations. A few very superior Scots may have produced 3s. 6d., but the general top figure for Beef did not exceed 3s. 4d. per Sibs., and at which a clearance was not effected There was a slight falling off in the number of Sheer considerably exceeded the wants of the buyers. All breeds met a very e prices. The extreme value for the best old Downs in the wool was 45.; out of the wool, 3s. 4d. per Sibs. We had a moderate inquiry for Lambs from 4s. iod. to ss. 10d Lt late rates, viz., very depressed state. In the quotations, however, we have no change to notice. Pigs met a very dull inquiry at barely stationary prices MONS. HERRMAN.—Last evening, this extraordin ar y and skilful professor of the necromantic art commenced a series of performances at the Concert-hall. His meta morphosis feats, tricks with cards, startling illusions, and all the various resources of the black art, were brought out in such a manner as to astonish the audience, and fully entitle him to a high rank in his profession. His performances must be seen to be believed. He will per form this evening and every evening during the week. — See adv. The mantles and shawls shown this season at Mr. J. Cripps' establishment, Bold-street, are very superior in style and elegance to any thing yet seen, and the prices strictly economical. He is always anxious for either his friends or visitors to call, and whilst every facility is afforded for either inspection or purchase, those urgent appeals to buy, so frequently complained of, are never allowed at his establishment. Besides the advantage of both Foreign and British Shawls for selection, his system of having but one price will be a great recommendation, especially to strangers. His warehouse is deserving of the highest patronage. ST. JAMES'S ScuooLs.—Theseschools, which now form an important feature among the public buildings at the south end of the town, are, we perceive, to be re-opened by an attractive celebration to-day. There is to be a bazaar in the morning, and a musical soiree tea party in the evening, in aid of the extra expenses, &c. A series of dissolving views, by Mr. W. M. Fisher, are likely to draw many visitors ; for we well know what a splendid assortment that benevolent and talented gentleman has. Some members of the Phil harmonic Society have kindly volunteered their vocal services gratuitously, and Mr. Gribbin will fur nish the instrumental music. We much regret to hear that the misunderstanding existing between the Committee of Council of Education and the National Society will occasion the loss of a promised grant of £7O to St. James's Schools, as the former will not accede to the stipulations of the latter. Consequently, the com mittee is minus that sum. and will now require the ut most exertions of their friends to relieve their embarrass ment. These schools were orizinally founded, in 1803, by Mr. Moses Benson, a wealthy liberal merchant of this town. A BEES' NEST ENCLOSED IN AN ELM TREE.—The sawyers of her Majesty's dockyard, Portsmouth, in slit ting down an elm tree of large magnitude, found in a cavity in the heart of the tree a most perfect bees' nest, with four divisions of comb, in length about 14 inches, with the bees in their cells, and otherwise, particularly the queen bee, in the most perfect condition ; above and below the nest the heart of the stick was perfectly sound, as was also the timber surrounding the nest; no hole was discoverable in any part, the timber being perfectly solid all round. There was also in the cavity a few snail shells ; no doubt the tree many years back, from its quick growth in the spring of the year, closed over the small hole, by which the bees went out and in, and imprisoned those that were in the nest. It was a beautiful specimen of the bees' nest, but unfortunately the sawyers pulled it to pieces without knowing that they were destroying a curiosity. STRANGE INCIDENT.—A party of pleasure, in the year 1800, on their return from Skegness to Lincoln, dined at the old-established inn at Wragby. One of the gentle men after dinner took off his ring, and inscribed upon a pane of glass the name of a young lady of the party and his own, in brackets. Just 48 years afterwards. the lady in question (who retained her maiden name) passed through Wragby with her niece, and ordered the coach man to drive to the old inn for refreshment. Lo ! to her surprise, the very foundations of the inn were r a zed, an d she was driven to the new hotel on the other side of the road. There, whilst taking biscuits and wine, and in dulging in reminiscences of bygone times, the niece, who had approached the window, exclaimed, " There is the inscription you promised to show to me." " How strange ! " said the aunt. " Not so strange, neither," rejoined the waiter, " for we brought all the windows from the old house, and fixed them here ; an d it was for tunate we did so, for one of the panes contained in wri ting a promise of marriage, and I was subpoenaed at a trial in London to produce it, and had a nice journey, and all my expenses paid."—Stamford Mercury. CHIVALRY IN INDIA. — Your lordships may perhaps recolleect that in the outset of my observations, in refer ring to the circumstances which led to the siege of Mool tan, I stated that the chief of that place had endeavoured to occupy all the country surrounding it, and I also stated that he had not been permitted to occupy it unopposed. No sooner was it known that a defection had taken place in Mooltan, and that Moolraj had revolted, than a young officer at some distance from the place, with only one regiment at his disposal, Major Edwards with whose name all your lordships are now familiar,—(loud cheers) —conceived the design of driving Moolraj back again into his fortress. That officer, who only received his annoint. went as cadet eight years ago—who served for some time as aide-de-camp to Lord Gough, and was wounded while so serving —that officer, I say, having been recently ap pointed to manage the country in the neighbourhood of Mooltan, conceived the design of driving Mooiraj back to his fortress, and carried it successfully into execution without the assistance of a single European soldier. Such was the confidence that this young officer, then Lieu tenant, and now Major Edwardes, inspired into his own followers,—such was the attention with which ho had studied the native character,—such, in consequence, was the revenue which he had raised in was rescuing f ae country which he he W 1157 Anahl,”l raise new le;ies, that he was enabled to pay those levies, and that, with their assistance, he was enabled to drive Moolraj back to the citadel from which he had emerged. _ _ defeating him in two pitched battles, in which he was himself conspicuously engaged, and in which he seized, with his own hands, two of the enemy's guns, thereby conciliating the respect, and, what always follows respect, the affections of the natives. That is an example worth holding out to the imitation and respect of all men.--Lord Lansdowne's speech. CORRESPONDENCE. THE TIMES AND THE NAVIGATION LAWS TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sin,—The Times, in its advocacy oLa pernicious cause, has recourse to so many sophisms against the present Navigation-laws, which are of such vital importance to so many British interests, that lest they should have any effect on those who are but imperfectly acquainted with the subject, I trust you will allow me a small space in your valuable columns to refute them. - And first I would observe, that the writers in that paper appear to have very slight acquaintance themselves with the subject they discuss, for only about three weeks since, the leading article assumed that these laws pre cluded a foreign vessel from discharging part of her cargo at a British port and then proceeding to another; whereas they never prevented a foreign vessel dropping her cargo at a dozen British ports, if it liked. Also. that foreign vessels exclusively were precluded from taking goods coastwise, whilst any part of the foreign cargo re mained on board, whereas such applies equally to British vessels, and is a fiscal, not a navigation point. The Times, to answer its own purpose, will endeavour to confound the Navigation Act with reciprocity treaties, and makes difficulties about the working of the former, which are either imaginary or easily to be obviated, as all men practically acquainted with the subject well know —and also, that foreign states can have no fair demand upon us beyond the advantages they already enjoy ;—and as to the alleged "17nnta of f-},n finlnn;‘,. , ;,- that a party, who has occasioned one great evil to the country, should require that it should be remedied by the perpetration of another. - What does the Times mean, when it asserts that the Navigation Law was framed and introduced four years ago, whilst he must be aware that it has existed from the times of Cromwell and Charles the Second. The Naviga tion Act was merely re-enacted four years ago. It confidently predicts that the time will Come when Protectionists will regret that they had not conceded sooner. tint alas those who are not blind to the present wretched state of the agricultural, colonial, and other interests, would rather augur that it is those who have caused such dire distress by their r will have the most reason to repent The whole drift of the Times' I cause we have committed two faults, v to perpetrate the whole series, insteac measures who rgunient is, that be to proceed when statesme rotting mat re in error, the sooner they retrace their steps the better.

A MERCHANT. DR. M`NEILE AND THE MERCURY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,—It is an old saying and a true one, " when. _ V- ft tnere s a win tnere's a way," but it does not follow that because such is a fact, therefore this way is always correct. The editor of the Mercury, as every proper thinking man knows, has for many years evinced his determination to oppose, in every possible manner, a most worthy clergy man of our Christian Church, as by law established,—the Rev. Dr. M'Neile. The spleen of his opposition is very apparent from some remarks of his, respecting the said clergyman, in Tuesday's Mercury. _ The editor says— •soas of Popery, stating he was born to hate it.—(Awful, truly awful !)—Dr. M'Neile hates—yea, says he was born to hate—three-fourths of the Christian world." Now may we not call this a piece of puerile nonsense, if not real rnnl,i~try TI.. lt/1.7•1.;1e. knows, neither stated, nor ever intended to state, that he hated a single individual in the Christian world. If the editor of the Mercury does not know that opinions are first time that such is the case,—whether he will have it so or no. Is Protestantism Dr. M`Neile ? No more than Unitarianism is Mr. Smith, or Roman Catholicism Priest Wilcock, or any other member believing in n th o a t t i s.ys rr . te. I put it to the edit or w h e th er h e woul( stinctly state his hatred of Heathenism, knowing the m ; and I ask would such a decla ration constitute 6tred to and for the deluded inhabi- barbarism of ti tants of those unenlightened localities ? Certainly not ; neither does Dr. M'Neile's hating Roman Catholicism imply hatred to the unfortunate and deluded men and women embracing the opinions of that system. Zhe editor of the Mercury says that Christ comrnaw:cd us to love our enemies, 'twould be well if Mr. Mercury would learn to even love its friends, for the true friends of mankind (whatever may be thought of the assertion,) are such men as Dr. M`Neile, who are endeavouring to lead their fellow mortals into the paths of righteousness, by exposing those errors which are dangerous to the immortal welfare of im mortal man. That species of love which would connive at error is not to be trusted. That manliness and christian persever- M'Neile, even when surrounded by those who throw ob loquy on every effort to do good, will stand the test of sound criticism in this world, as well as examination at um; greut, uay aI Juagment,—notwithstanding the puny opposition and misrepresentations of such men as the editors of the Liverpool Mercury. MON SENSE NAVIGATION LAWS. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR JAMES R. G. GRAHAM, BART., M.P. In the speech delivered by you in the House of s on the 23rd instant in support of the Ministe rial measure for repealing the Navigation Laws, after erroneously asserting that the commerce of the country was in favour of this measure, you are reported to have said that the views and wishes of the town of Liverpool 't be Q a -' '-an in Parllo— - Comm'a nigh. ~ered from inc votes grt,.._ _ aament by its two representatives, Sir Thomas Birch and Mr. Cardwell. As chairman of the committee appointed al the general meeting of the inhabitants to oppose the bill, I am in structed to inform you, that whilst we feelingly lament the fact of our members having thus voted, we indig nantly deny the inference which you deduce from it. To the other seaports of the empire we may safely leave the task of asserting and elucidating their own proceed _ ings. But in reference to the great community of Liver pool, it may be truly said that, throughout the whole of its annals, no one instance has occurred in which its wishes have been more fully or unequivocally expressed. Up to this day, no individual frOm this town has pe titioned Parliament in favour of the bill, as brought for ward by her Majesty's ministers, although a memorial is gone up, signed by 1646 names of all classes, praying for the removal of all restrictions upon the use of foreign shipping, and for the repeal of the tax on timber, &c. On the other hand, the number of those who have pe titioned on this occasion against the repeal, amounts to 47,212,—and to their signatures the residence and pro fession have generally been appended. Amongst the names are upwarus of one thousand respectable mercantile firms. Let our representatives look to this ; and let the abet tors of a crooked and destructive policy, if they really can dec " deceive of bringing mistatement of facts in aid of false theories 'mid ruinous experiments.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant, J.

There was launched, on Saturday afternoon, from the new building-yard, in Baffin-street, of Mr. Thomas Ver non, a beautiful iron steam-boat, called " the Fairy," built for Mr. Rushton Colebourn, proprietor of the Egremont and New Brighton Ferries, and destined to ply between those places and the Great Liverpool Landing stage. This vessel is of the bow form at both ends, with two rudders, so that she may be propelled either way, as may be desired, without the necessity of turning, or back ing out. She is uncommonly fine in model, with great sharpness at the extremities, and her lines are so harmo niously blended, that with the extraordinary steam power which will be employed, she will, beyond a doubt, realize the expectations of the enterprising proprietor, by prov ing herself to be by far the fastest ferry-boat on the Mersey. The following are her dime 16ft. 6in Bft. fin power ea-tray mates are )n, and as harp as a wedge. Her name is elegantly inscribed in gold at each side on the ends, within chaste ornamental foliated carved work, and though without other decora tion, she may be pronounced to be the most beautiful and skipper-like craft on our river.
