TJIVE RPOOL possesses a commemoration of the g reatest Naval Commander of the Nation, but has no Memo rial of her greatest Military Chieftain. To supply this deficiency, a few Gentlemen of Liverpool have associated themselves together, and are now in personal communication with HAYOON, for a PORTRAIT of the DUKE OF WELLINGTON, in connexion with some one of his splendid victories; being satisfied that the Historical Painter who could depict Napoleon in Exile, so as to kindle the admiration and muse of Wordsworth, would not fail to produce an equally enduring Memorial of Napoleon's an tagonist-genius—the Hero of Waterloo. It is proposed to place the Picture permanently in some suitable Building in Liverpool, easy of access to the Public, such as the contemplated St. George's-hall.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousand* fall sictims to the Venereal Disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread ful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra; and other diseases of the urinary passages. frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a coin plete cure, without the least exposure t o t h e p atient. At any period when ' the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their MU dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health. PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known fee the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula scorb and glandular affections, local and g eneral debi utic lity, nocturne Pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and al iseases arising frotn an impure state of the blood.

HEYWOOD, Esq., in the Chair; The report of the Committee and the Treasurer's Accounts having been read, the following resolutions were unanimously passed. Moved by WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq.; seconded by Rev. J. H. THOM , I.—That the Report of Rev. J. Johns, detailing the oper ations of the Mission during its second year, fully justifies the rational expectations of the founders; and by its modest statement - of results, increases our confidence, both in the great principles of the institution, and in the patient devoted ness of its Minister. Moved by Rev. J. Ma ezlNEsti; seconded by Dr. REYNOLDS, 2.—That this Society gratefully acknowledges the gene rosity of a friend and coadjutor, who has procured a house in the Minister's District to be devoted to the service of the Mission; and rejoices that thus a new stability is given to the Institution, and a place assigned for Instruction and Worship, where Christian importunity may hope to copel' even the poor, the maimed, the halt, and the blind to c m ome in' from the 'highways' of toil and misery. Moved by THOMAS TticieNELY, Esq. M.P.; seconded by W. S. RoscoE. Esq. a—That we discern a peculiar call to exertion in the pre sent season of scarcity, which, by adding to the physical sufferings, must inevitably increase the social uneasiness and moral evil prevalent among the most neglected classes; and we would renew our resolution to persevere in behalf of an Institution, which declares the brotherhood of all mankind. Moved by THOMAS BOLTON, Esq, seconded by the Rev. HENRY GILES. 4.—That the Report of the Comniittee of the past year be approved, and it proceedings confirmed ; thatthe Ti easurer's Accounts, as now read, having been audited, be passed; and that they be printed, together with the original Resolutions or Constitution of the Society, as also the names of its sup porters, and the Committee for the present and preceding year.

LE DRAY & CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma nently at No. 70, S EEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the:least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap plication without the slightest pain. Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged Forty Guineas Loose teeth fastened, arising either, from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Ar tificial teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and restared equal in beauty and durability to their original state. Attendance from nine till seven, and on Sundays from nine till two. PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. * * l' With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. containing hints worth knowing l , v those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause t►v which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, be conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure.of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation. it was sought after with av idity, and used with undeviating success in the most minue and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrate . d. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the Lune continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which . has given such general satisfaction ? The Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action 1 the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their aston►shing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require no restra►nt of diet, loss of t►me, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive. by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persona have been when vis►t►ng the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey. their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eiylit in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A PEE. letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by return, and Med►cines punctually . transmittecl to any ad dress either by initials'or name.

Dr. Johnson, late physician to Geo. IV. considers this the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Aut hor of " The Eco nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable: he writes thus:— " Nov. 22, 1837. " Stn,—Ever since your • Howqua's Mixture' Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, &c.

Signiond, M.D., F.L.S., &c., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on the 14th of November, before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated—" The Hong Merchants used not generally to deliver for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It was proved by the fact that since the openir;; of the trade new varieties had been brought to England, and, in particular, a tea under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong Merchants, which had been very rau,•h and very deservedly prized, and the' Howqiia's Mixture' has now become "A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTP.Y.” It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its en periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good quality. These Teas consist of " HowQua's MIXTURE ' (black tea), at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the catty package.

We have lead and heard of many a brilliant chace by wood and plain, of hare and fox, and deer,—to say nothing of bears, and boars, and tigers, and other outlandish and uncivil quad rupeds; but any thing more gallant and persevering, —en} thing more thoroughly " varment" than a bunt which took place in this district very recently (and south to say, 'twas Sunday last,) is not to be found recorded in the pages of N im rod, or treasured in the recollections of the frequenters of Melton, though it might lack something of the usual pomp and circumstance of the chase. It happened thus : —There is, in t he township of Birtle-cum-Bamford, near Bury, a lad about 13 years of age, who, from his parents, with the assist ance of his godfathers and godmothers, derived the name of Edward Allen, but who, in that neighbourhood, is rather bet ter known by the shorter if not more euphonous designation of " Shep" ; alad who has lost one arm, and who is one of thosis strange beings that can seldom be thoroughly broken in to the ordinary trammels and pursuits of human life, hitt who pea, sesses, as our readers will find in the sequel, a most uncon querable love of field sports. Oa Sunday morning last, Shep, accompanied by a favourite hound called "Glory," belonging to Mr. Allanson, of Kershaw Bridge, had wandered into the woods in Birtle, to wile away the time, and dissipate the ennui which the Sabbath too often brings to beings of his class; and, after rambling about for some time, he, to his infinite satisfaction, started a hare, which, of course, went of at score, and was, equally of course, followed at score by Glory and by Shep, screeching and hollooing at the very top of his voice. The woods were vet y soon cleared , and t he trib made their way into the open fields in Birtle, where Shep, although he could set up a capital pair of heels, found that he was falling behind, and that he was likely to be very soon run out of sight. in this predicament, the chace happ ened to lead him 'across a field adjoining Mr. Allanson's siz e works, where an old mare that had been condemned as past service, and fit only to minister to the wants of the size makers, was quietly nibbling the little grass which the field afforded, and waiting until the time arrived when she was destined to shuffle uff her " mortal coil." Shep saw her, and (as he had notime for deliberation) at once decided upon his course. Ile sprung like lightning upon her back, and, by the aid of a cudgel which he hi picked up during his rambles in the wood, very soon panne ded her to adopt a progr essive motion, much more rad than might have been expected from her appearance. W ithout saddle or bridle, Shep guided, as well as incited, his steed by blows from his cudgel; and the gallant chace, Puss and Glory. Shep and the old mare, swept like wildfire up Red Bank, and across the fields over or through hedge and ditch, and brake and briar, towards the foot of Harding, where Puss turned short, and set for Kershaw Bridge, closely followed by Glory and by Shep, who, hatless and shoeless as when he was born, with his clothes in tittle's. and his hair streaming . about his ears, urged on the chace , shouting and yelling like a . beiak of another world. In this array he suddenly appeared before the rood people on their way to the quiet and retired chapel of Ashworth;' and what with the bare and bony carcass of the mare, and the wild and unearthly appearance of the rider, the chace bore no very distant resemblance to the spectre hunt in Der Freischutz. 'Whether it was from the recollection of ancient exploits, or from the persuasive eloquence of Shep . e. cudgel, it is not easy to say; but certainly, from some cause or other, the old mare behaved nobly, and kept Well up with Glory, who, on his part, gave the hare but little room of van tage. Puss made straight for the bottoms at Kershaw Bridge, Glory close behind her, and came to the lane a little below Hood Barn, where there is a descent of some six feet perpen dicular from the field into the road, which would have checked the ardour of many a Meltonian ; but it did not check the career of Shep, who, with a blow and a shout, plunged into the lane, and in an instant was seen scrambling up the bank on the other side, and again making his appearance in the open field. At length, on arriving at Kershaw Bottoms, af. ter a chace of about twenty minutes, Glory fairly ran into the game, and Shep, who was "well in," leaped from his steed, and seized the hare, which he bore off in triumph to Mr.Allan ' son; leaving the mare, the companion of his toils and his tri umph, to find her way to the size-works as best she might. ' Whether Shep has since had to make his appearance before some one or more of her majesty's justices assigned to keep ' the peace in the county palatine of Lancaster, we have not • heard; but if any charge has been made against him, it would certainly not be from any true sportsmen that the complaint , would conle....Mcsnehetter Gaartan...
