THE WINE COMPANY OF SCOTLAND. 62, HANOVER-STREET, ESPECTFULLY call the attention of their Friends it and the Public to their present extensive and select Assortment of the undermentioned BRITISH WINES. RASPBERRY, ORANGE, CURRANT, RAISIN, STRAWBERRY, CONSTANTIA, GOOSEBERRY, PORT, and COWSLIP, GINGER. The WINE COMPANY have on hand a large BONDED STOCK of PORT and SHERRY WINES. from £l9 to £45 per Butt, well worthy the attention of Innkeepers. Samples may be tasted on application at their Office. Matured Old PORTS and SHERRIES, in Bottle, from .265. to 40s. per Dozen. Always on hand, a supply of Edinburgh ALE and London PORTER for Exportation, either in Wood or Bottle. GGILT OUSE OF LORDS, A. 1628, 4 Car., die lunre, 2.3' 2 -1- I- Februarii.—Whereas complaint was, this day, made to the House, that merchant strangers have brought into this kingdom divers Wines of the growth of France, which they have sophisticated with unwholesome roots/and other un wholesome things, and do utter the same or French and Rhenish Wines ; it is this day ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in the High Court of Parli ment a sse del c t that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of Lo don shall, by vir tue of this order, have authority (and they , re hereby required to make diligent search and inquiry after all sophisticated, ar tificial, and falsified Wines, within the City of London ; and that they shall break in pieces all such vessels which, either now or hereafter, they shall find containing such artificial, or falsified Wines, and shall let out the said Wines into the streets, to the end that none of his Majesty's loving subjects may receive any prejudice at all by them hereafter." Such was the wise and energetic mandate issued, upwards of 200 years ago, by that illustrious branch of the Legislature, which has, for ages, stood prominently forward as the bulwark of the British constitution ; and the decree amply attests the summary punishment then dealt out to panderers in dishonest traffic, who catered their gains by infamy or injustice. It would be well, indeed, were such a procedure to be acted upon in the present day, when the Parliamentary returns abound with the convictions of persons detected mixing Cape with other Wines, Spirits with Wines, Drugs with Wines, bribing Excise-officers, mixing Port with Cape, and other adulterations : and amongst the various stratagems resorted to for the sale of spurious Ports and other Wines, the most rife and extensive is throughthe medium of fictitious auctions, fictitious, because, at almost every sale of this kind, there are persons in attendance hired by the auctioneer to bid for the lots put up ; and will it be credited that the Excise are suffered by law to tolerate this disgraceful practice ?—for the auctioneer has only to give notice that he intends to have either one, ten, or fifty minions in the sale-room, as pretnded buyers, and whatever goods they make mock pur chases of are exempted from auction duty. It is full time that this system of entrapping the unsuspecting, and delud ing the public, should be made known; and since it is notor ious that private dwelling-houses are often hired for the pur pose of hatching these auctions, and that auctioneers in veigle attention to them by professing them to be collections of noblemen going abroad, deceased gentlemen, or officers of rank, surely no one of common sense ought to risk his health, or that of his family, by encouraging such specious and deep laid impositions. British Wines are sold at auction as foreign, and samples of good Wines areproduced , although the real par cels are trash, which the unfortunate buyer cannot drink, nor even use for kitchen purposes : but he has no redress. The cognizance of these and many other flagrant abuses impera tively demanded some remedy, and that devised by Messrs. Wye and Co., approved and sanctioned as it has been by the unanimous voice of the phalanx of rank and consequence throughout the kingdom, namely, the bottling of Port Wines at Oporto, is admitted to be the only one which could infal libly secure the unsullied Port Wines of the Alto Douro. The Delme, the Anne, and . the Red Port, have just arrived in the port of London, from Oporto, with the 39th,40th, and 41st consignments of WYE'S PORT WINES, bottled at Oporto, to the sole consignees, W. S. WALSH and CO. 56, Berwick-street, adjoining Oxford-street, London. TEETH. MR. ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, of the Firm of Es- KELL and SONS, Surgeon Dentists, of Oxford-street, London, and Norfolk-street, Sheffield, may be consulted at Mrs. LLOYD'S, 36, (late 95,) BOLD-STREET, Liverpool, 414 , TO MASONS. PERSONS willing to CONTRACT fo he ERECTION of the STEPS and other WOR at the NORTH ENTRANCE to ST. JAMES'S-WA may see the Plans and Specifications at the Surveyor's-o ce, Town-ball, where sealed Tenders are to be delivered on or before the 14th of October next. OPPOSITE THE PALATINE CLUB-HOUSE. Mr. E. continues to FIX ARTIFICIAL TEETH 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 infa cility, and will continue securely fixed the gums ; they will retain their colour, perform mastica on, assist articula tion, and cannot be distinguished fr those of natural growth. The inconveniences attending e LOSS a TEETH are too well known to require commen ; 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 £o 10 0 A complete Set • 5 0 0 A complete Set of Mineral Teeth, Gold 1 15 15 0 Plates, highly finished A complete Set of Incorrodible Teeth, first workmanship, usually charged 25 0 0 _Fifty Guineas TO EXCAVATORS AND BUILDSS. 13ERSONS willing to CONTRACT for EXC VATING, and for the BRICKWORK required to b erformed in the ERECTION of the SEWERS after-me oned, - viz. : A Sewer from the Main in Hanover-street to the upper end of Argyle-street, with Branches to the ends of Gilbert-street f r and Lydia Ann-street ; and a Sewer in - den-street, from Wapping to the ends of Hurst-street and rayson-street, and all the necessary Shafts, Eyes, Cesspool &c., for and under the direction of " The Commissioners or the better Paving and Sewerage of the. Town of Liverpool," may see the respective Plans and Specifications on application at the Office of the Commissioners, No. 1, Parish-offices, Fenwick street, where sealed Tenders, signed by the parties tendering, and containing the names of two persons as Sureties for the due performance of the works, addressed to " The Commis sioners for the better Paving and Sewerage of the Town of Liverpool," must be left on or before WEDNESDAY, the 9th day of October next. N.B.—Printed Forms of Tenders may be had at the said Office of the Commissioners, and none others will be received. By order of the Commissioners, EDWD. G. DEANE, Clerk. Liverpool, 26th September, 1839. 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.

EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A. TT 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 prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to the 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, the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure. To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica tion 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.

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.

THIS Institution was founded on the o)lginal principles of the London Equitable, with various improvements —among the most prominent of which is, a reduction in the Rates of Premium of nearly one-tenth. The Caution of the Directors in the admission of Lives, and the Xust and liberal manner in which claims have been discharged, have secured to this Establishment so consider.. able a share of public support, that its Capital now exceeds £1,700,000, its Income rim Premium £190,000 per Annum, and its annual issue of Policies is between five and six hun dred. Information may be obtained by persons wishing to effect Insurances either at the Chief Office, in Surrey-steet, Nor wich ; at No. 6, Crescent, Bridge-street, London ; or of the Agents established in every important Town throughout the Kingdom. SAMUEL BIGNOLD, Secretary. The Directors, aware of the interest taken by the Assurers in the proceedings of the Referees selected by the Members, (duly assembled in General Meeting) to investigate the Accounts and Securities of the Institution, feel great plea sure in stating that those Gentlemen, having had the most unreserved access to every Book, Paper, Document, or Se curity, used or held by the Society, from its first Establish ment, have gone into such a minute, labourious, and thorough investigation, as only parties so empowered and aided could effect, and they are satisfied the result must prove beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the Institution is PERFECTLY SAFE and PROSPEROUS—that its mortality (rigidly tested) may bear a triumphant comparison with that of any Office in the Kingdom, (though like that of others, enhanced during a period) and that its secured Capital is fully adequate to meet all engagements, not only for the sums specifically assured, but the large additions (between £400,000 and £500,000,) already made by way of Bonuses.

PERSONS insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO and upwards, whose Policies continued in force at Christmas, 1837, and who had then been insured Twa Years at least, / are hereby informed, that the Fifth Divide d, calculated on the Nett Amount of the Premiums p by them, from Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, i ow payable at the Company's Office in Exeter, and by Agents with whom the Insurances are effected, or renew . FIRE INSURANCES continue o be granted on the above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In sured. This Company's business-is still increasing, and the esti mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies. The Company does not pride itself on account of the large amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, will prove : Policy, No. 72,567 II 106,104 71 101,562 „ 108,800 12 104,888 „ 109,135 AGENTS IN LIVERPOCL : £57 15 6 29 19 2 28 19 9 28 10 1 26 12 6 26 6 1 WM.

GENTLEMEN, HAVING received from your body a Requisition nu merously and respectably signed, that I should consent to be put in nomination as a Candidate for the epresentation of your Ward in the Common Council of Li rpool, I signify hereby my acceptance of your invitation. As I freely recognise your undoubted right to full informa tion concerning the principles of those that solicit your Votes, I shall endeavour briefly to lay before you a summary of those by which my public conduct shall be governed. I am not ashamed to acknowledge my duties to Goo to be of primary importance and superior to all others in my esti mation. An attached Member of the Protestant Church of England, by Education and Conviction, I am determined to support Her to the uttermost of my power in all her integrity, so long as the purity of her Doctrines attests that she is founded on the WORD OF GOD; with respect to those who differ from me in Religious sentiments, my motto is " Conciliation without Compromise," the right hand of Fellowship to all who hold the essential Truths that are taught by the Church ; to all, others, Goodwill and Charity, but no surrender of .Prixeipk. lam also of opinion that the Holy Scriptures should form the . hasis of any system of NATIONAL EDU CATION, and ,am unalterably opposed to any Scheme, by which either Religion is wholly excluded during the ordinary School Hours, or all Religions, true or false, placed on a footing of equality. My Political Principles are, that the happy form of Govern ment under which we live is the best calculated to promote the well-being of the Community ; and while I am the Con sistent Advocate of all such Reforms as may be proved to be really necessary, (and there are no human Institutions that in the lapse of time are not liable, like the human body, to infirmity and decay,) I am decidedly hostile to all innova tions on our time-honoured Constitution, that are desired by the mere love of novelty or thirst for change, and that have, in my judgment, a Revolutionary tendency, leading the way to the overthrow of the Church, and to Anarchy and Confu sion in the State. I solemnly pledge myself, so far as may come within my province, to the maintenance and support of our existing Institutions, in, if possible, improved efficiency, nor will I ever lend myself to any plan or project which may tend to weaken or undermine them. I have resided in Liverpool for the last Thirty Years, dur ing twenty-eight of which I have contributed to our Local Rates, and that principally within the boundary of your Ward. I have seldom interfered with its Local Government, but I have not been an indifferent spectator of public affairs, nor have I withheld my humble support from those Municipal Institutions which I thought likely to advance the prosperity of the Town and its Inhabitants. I can never feel unin terested in what concerns their happiness and good Govern ment. And now, Gentlemen, permit me to say in conclusion, that while I freely confess you might easily have selected a Candidate more able and efficient, (which would have given me unfeigned gratification,) I do lay claim to honesty of purpose, and purity of motive, in which 1 am unwilling to acknowledge myself inferior to the ablest or wealthiest of your respectable inhabitants. Should I be so fortunate as to become the object of your choice at the ensuing Election, you may depend upon my endeavouring to maintain the principles above professed to the utmost of my power. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most respectful and obedient Servant, PETER HOPE. Whitechapet,lst October, 1839. kUSTRALIA, VAN DIEMAN'S LAND, oa INDIA.

Anne Jones, a very decent looking woman, attended by a . posse of her neighbours as witnesses, appeared to prefer a complaint against a very pretty and mild-looking young girl, named Mary Hardman. Mrs. Jones stated, that she and the defendant had always been good friends till lately, when the defendant had " intirely halter d," and she did not know whatever had " come over her." I was only talking with Mrs. Johnson about the water, said the complainant, when out she comes with the long brush, and sis she—whose mouth are you 'going to crack ? I- told her I had summut else to do than to crack peoples mouths, an' as I was not a with for to crack nobodies' mouth. With that sir, she ups with the long brush and struck me with all her force, and if she'd hit the opening of my head, she'd a laid my skull open. However she only catch'd me on the hie, an ' here it is. The complainant pointed to her '" hie," as she called it, but no mark was preceptible. It appeared, according to the complainant, that the defendant had also put her fissess in Mrs. Jones face and threatened her. Miss Hardman was no sooner asked what she had to say for herself than she burst into tears. She first complained of the hard hearted neighbours, every one of whom took part with Mrs Jones. and consented to be witness for her. She was alone. Mrs. Jones, she said, was blowing up as she (defendant) was sweeping the floor of her father's house. She went out to her, and, said she, I axed her if it was me she was talking to, for I heard her say she would crack my mouth, an' I axed her if it was my mouth that she was gooin to crack. She said yes it was, an' she made her words good, for she did crack it, and after she'd struck me two or three times, and called me a many very ugly names unproper to mention before gentlemen, I lifted up the long-brush in my own defence, and gave her a little bit of a tap with it. The neighbours who accompained Mrs. Jones here all raised their voices in full chorus, in order to demonstrate to the magistrates that this version was not entirely correct; and it was evident that the inhabitants of the court or alley in which these amiable people reside, bore no very kindly feeling towards Miss Hardman. Their great efforts at ex planation were useless,—they defeated their own objeet,— for not one word could be distinguished ; and it was not till " silence" had been thundered from every frowning police man about the court, that these delicate females could be prevailed upon to bridle their tongues. What are you? asked Mr. Rushton. Defendant—l lives with my father and mother. Mr. Rushton—Well, I cannot allow these disturbances. One of the neighbours, a little, pale, smiling woman, put ting on a most winning expression of countenance, said—lf you please, sir, she said she would murder Mrs. Jones as soon as ever the trial was over. _ _ _ An old and chatter, snub-nosed woman, rushing forward —Yes, that she did ; I heerd her. Another neighbour—Yes, and she'll do it too. Another neighbour—(shaking her head)—Aye, aye, she's a very dangerous young woman. Mrs. Jones—l'm afraid of my life, your worship. Mr. Rushton—Nonsense, you silly woman; it's a pitylou can't live in a more neighbourly manner. The defendant was fined one shilling and costs. A DISOBEDIENT APPRENTICE. One of the apprentices of a Mr. Close, appeared in an swer to a summons procured on information of his master for disobedience and absence from business. Mr. Davenport, solicitor, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Close stated, that the young man was an in• door ap prentice, and was continually in the habit of staying out all night. This it appeared he had been in the continual habit of doing, but he had not absented himself during working hours. Mr. Davenport attempted to prove, the defendant had only remained out till half-past eleven or twelve o'clock. Mr. Rushton expressed it as his opinion, that an apprentice ought to regulate his hours of recreation according to the will of his master, and not, because the hours of business were over, to remain out of his master's house till improper hours. After some slight discussion it was arranged, that the ap prentice was to go back to his master on promising to behave better. The promises were made in court. T. THE MUSICAL BRICK-SELLER. Win. Palmer, the noted dealer in bricks, who has ev dently " pris pour passagere, La muse des chansons;" But who cannot justify a continuation of our quotation from Beranger— " Et ma course legere S'egaie a ses doux sons; As his many attempts at .rhyme and melody, the burden of which is— " Pretty ladies—a penny a lump, Very fine bricks, a penny a lump," And which he sings somewhat to the tune of " Barbara Allen," frighten all the old women and little children of the districts which he honours with his visits,—charged one Edward Taylor with having broken into his house and as saulted him. Complainant, in giving evidence, burst into tears, which was described by the gentleman who conducted the defence as " all gammon." The complainant, on being cross-examined, admitted that he had aggravated the de fendant by applying certain gross epithets to him and his mother, on hearing which Mr. RUSHTON dismissed the case, and said it would be better if in future complainant kept a civil tongue in his head. EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF WHITE FISH.—One day last week, the crew of the Lafra, off the Isle of May, caught with a trawl net no less than three tons of white fish, con sisting of turbot, soles, skate, haddocks, cod, &c. in the short period of five hours. .. . .- LADY HUNTINGDON'S GENEROSITY .—Such Was her lady= ship's bounty that she actually gave to every one who asked her, until her stock being quite exhausted the wa _de- .;,tute.
