ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, of the Firm of Es icnti, and SONS, Surgeon Dentists, of Oxford -street, London, and Norfolk-street, Sheffield, may bp :consulted at Mrs. LLOYD'S, 36, (late 95,) BOLD-STRFFT, Liverpool, OPPOSITE THE PALATINE CLUB- OUSE. Mr. E. continues to FIX ARTIFIC TEETH on his entirely New Principle, without tying fi sting wires: they are constructed in such a manner that i is impossible to dis cern them from the productions of nature. The peculiar ed 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 on the gums ; they will retain their colour, perform mastication, assist articula tion, and cannot be distinguished from 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 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 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.

OPRIESTLEY, Cu EMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs • particularly to call the attention of hiS Friends and the Public to his hu p roved Pt eparrai.w. tho aux:oy ju.tiv_Me. brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing "PattsTLEv's SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accuracy, and although numbers of people acquainted witlithe business, and others, have of late years attempted imitaldons, they have invariably been found to be spurious comp ds, neither pos sessing the agreeable flavour nor the me mar properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in boxes 2s. each, containing twenty-four powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in tin cases 10s. each. The latter arc put up in a very eligible form for exportation; or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all cli• mates. Prepared and sold only by Jonx PRIESTLEY, No 64, Lord-street, where also may be bad Seidlitz Powders is Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in boxes at ls. Gd. each. - • FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro. perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who from various causes, would experience great inconvenience or with whom it would'be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial arc those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.

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 pram enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of 1 • itual invalids. Their minds .anxious, unsteady, or „JAI, and their bodies weak, the natural functions of li are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIA.CUM 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 distressing 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 chstaestic 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 labia - 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 syStein, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, Sce. But 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 6f 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 consumptive habit, and are, with out thinly 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 com fort, 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 Syriacuni, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, improves the memory , and enlive ns th e i mag i nat i on .

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 S TLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES *. AMERICA. EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPIIE ISAACSON, M.A. TT is intended that this great National W o rk shall com p rise 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 posses Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are over theni in the Lord," two. mit WISLI at tli.ir arid 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 advantazes 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.

CIIRISTOPiIER COUSINS, Accountant We regret to learn the death of the only child, a daughter of Lord Brougham; which melancholy event took place on Friday night, at Brighton, after a long illness. EARL RODEN.—We are happy to be enabled to announce, on the best authority, the complete recovery of this distin guished nobleman from the effects of the late accident his lordship met with. It is lamentable fact that in various remote parts of the counties of Durham and Northumberland, whole fields of unripe Wheat, Oats, and Beans, are yet to be seen. THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PATRONAGE.—It appears from an able analysis published in the Argus of Saturday, that the cost of Whig commissions to the country since their ac cession to the office in 1832-up to 1838, has amounted to the enormous sum of .C 475,739 183. 10. There is not the slightest foundation for the rumoured in disposition of the Earl of Durham, his lordship being in the possession of far better health at the present tune than for some months past. - - Sir Hercules Pakenbam, K.C.8., bad a severe fall from his horse last week, at Portsmouth, from his horse's leg get ting into a dilapidated drain. The gallant general is, how ever, doing well.—Uniled Service Gazette. THE RAPACIOUS CLERGY.—The rector of flawkhurst with a benevolence worthy of his sacred calling, has directed that the tithe potatoes shall be distributed amongst the most deserving and poorest families of his paribh.—Kentish Gazette. It is said that the labourers on the Birmingham and Glou I I - cester Railway are now workieg double time, and that about thirty-two miles of the line, from Birmingham to Chelten ham, will be ready to open to the public in February next. We hear that the Earl of Sefton and the Earl of Sandwich have both declined accepting the vacant appointment of Master of the Buckhounds.—Brighton Gazette.—Amongst "numerous others," the Earl of Essex is now_ spoken of as having heen offered the appointment.

(From Dr. Traill's Physical - Geography.) ' The terrible effects of earthquakes have attracted attention in every age, and records of some such convulsions have de scended to us from very remote ages. No period of our eartles history has been more noted for the violence and ex tent of earthquakes than that between the-first, third, and the middle of the fourteenth century. China was terribly convulsed for ten years from 1333, when Kiang-si, its capital, was swallowed up; mountains were engulphed ; and floods, occasioned by the obstruction of the course of the rivers, de stroyed vast multitudes of human beings. The concussions extended westwards, and Asia Minor and. Egypt were vio lently shaken in 1316; while, in the following year, severe earthquakes were experienced in Cyprus, Greece, and Italy. In 1692, the island of Jamaica was visited by a most terrible . 2irthquake, in whi c h eno r m o u s masses cf earth and rock were detached from the Blue Mountains; and vast quantities of timber, hurled from their flanks, covered - the adjacent sea like floating islands. It was during this earthquake that the city of Port Royal, with a tract of adjacent lands, estimated at 1000 acres, sunk; in one minute. into the deep. In the succeeding year, great earthquakes in Sicily destroyed the city of Catania, and 140 other towns and villages in that island, where upwards of 100,000 persons perished: 1746, Lower Peru suffered severely from this calamity. Tae ocean burst in upon the land with irresistible force, whetiathe barrier of laud sunk into the sea, Lima was overwhelmad, and the present port of Callao formed. These convulsions were accompanied by eruptions of water and mud from several voheutos among the Andes. lii 1750, the city of Concep tion, in Chili, disappeared during an earthquake, and the sea rolled over it. In 1755, the city of Lisbon mesa in a - great measure destroyed by one of • the most terrible earthquakes that ever visited Europe. The mountain chains between the Douro and the Tagus were most , dreadfully convulsed. The new mole at Lisbon, to which the multi tude had fled, as to a place of safety, sunk suddenly into a hideous abyss, and not one body floated to the sncrace, ncr were any fragivents of the'vessels, sucked- into the chasm, rendered up, and on the spot there is now an hundred fa thoms of water. In this awful convulsion at Lisbon, sixty thousand persons perished in about six minutes. A violent shock threw down the greatest part of the city and the sea retired, leaving the bar momentarily dry; but suddenly a mighty wave, fifty feet high, rolled in on the devoted city. The extent of the term motes, on this cccasion, is very re markable. The violence of the shocks, which were accom panied by a fearful subterranean noise, like the loudest than-. der was chiefly felt in Portugal, Spain, and Northern Africa ; but its effects were perceived over a considerable part of Europe, and were even experienced in the West In dies. Our Scottish lakes, particularly Loch Ness and Loch Lomond, rose and fell repeatedly on that dreadful day. Ships at sea were affected by the shocks, as if they had struck on rocks, and their crews were in sonde instances thrown down by the violence of the concussions. In 1766, the island of Trinidad, and great part cf Colombia, were violently agitated by earthquakes ; an islet in the Orinoco, disappeared, and laud in other parts of the coast was raised above the waters. In 1772, the lofty volcano of Papern.- dlang„ (the loftiest: mountain throughout Java,) entirely disappeared, and an area around, fifteen miles by six, • was swallowed up. Most terrible earthquakes desolated Calabria in 1783. This - calamity has been admirably described by several writers:among whom we may mention Dr. Vivens zio, Grimaldi, Six Hamilton, Dolomieu, and the commission of the ttoyal Academy of Naples. The violence of the shocks was chiefly felt in the Farther Calabria, and in the neighbourhood of Messiha. The principal agitation was felt over an area of five hundred squasse miles. Many sudden sinkings of the land were perceived, numerous fissures were formed, and partial elevations were effected in some places. The greatest depression happened at Terra Nuova, Oppido, and Santa Christina ; a fissure a mile in length, a hundred and five feet in width, and thirty feet in depth, opened at PlaiSano ; another, about the same length, and a hundred feet in depth, was formed at Cerzulle •, and at La Fortuna, a chasm a quarter of a mile in length, thirty feet in width, and two hundred and twenty-five feet in depth, suddenly opened in the ground. In some districts considerable mountain slips, or the separation of huge masses of earth and reek, took place ; and along the Straits of Messina, in the neigh botirhood of Scylla, the cliff of Gian-Grcco, a mile in length, was precipitated on the subjacent houses and gardens. A fragment detached by the earthquake from Mount Jaci crushed multitudes who had fled to the shore for safety ; and, at the same moment, a wave broke on the devoted shore, and swept away the aged Prince of Scylla, and numbers of his people. In the year 1797, Upper , Peru was terribly coevulsed. The shocks of earthquakes was continued with great violence for three months, and the face of the country in the centre of convulsion was totally change:3. In 1811, violent earthquakes shook the valley of the Mississippi, by which lakes of considerable extent disappeared, and new ones were formed ; but these were less terrific than the catastrophe which destroyed the city of Caraccas in 1812. On the 28th of March, there was heard subter. - aueous thunicrinn - ' s; the ground undulated, as if agitated by a boiling liquid, and at one shock this fine city entombed in its ruins 13,100 of its inhabitants. During the earthquake the great lake of Mara caibo had its level lowered, and 'the riven earth at Puerto Cabello and Valencia poured forth enormous torrents of water. It is remarkable, that the volcano of St. "Vincent, which had been perfectly quiescent for a century, burst out with prodigious violence on the 27th of April, in the same year, and threw out clouds of ashes, which rose to an immense height into the air. Much of the island was ruined by show eps of scoria and ashes; and such was the violence of the eruption, that the decks of vessels 203 miles to the windward of St. Vincent were covered with an impalpable dust. On the day of this eruption subterranean thunderings were dis tinctly heard at Caraccas, and even on the Rio Apure, 210 leagues in a right line from St. Vincent. In the eruption of Tomboro, the earthquakes extended throughout an area of a thousand miles in diameter, a considerable tract of land at the foot of the mountain disappeared in the waves, and the port of Bima, where. ships of war could formerly anchor,, was ruined by the upraising of a shoal. On the 19th of Novem ber„lB22, Chili was visited by a most destructive earthquake. The shock was strongly felt at the same time throughout a line of coast 1200 miles in extent. It is stated on good au thority, that the coast for 100 miles sustained an elevation of from two to four feet ; and about a mile inland from Valpa raiso it was raised from six to seven feet. The sudden ele vation of the coast was indicated by shell-fish being found adhering to the rocks considerably above high-water mark. The shocks continued until the end of September in the fol lowing year ; and the area over which the permanent alter ation of level extended is believed to embrace the country from the base of the Andes to the sea, a surface of not less than 100,000 square miles. In 1827 Popayan and Bogota suffered most severely from earthquakes, during which vast tirsures opened in the elevated plains around the latter city. The last earthquake in Europe occurred in Murcia in Is2'9, near Alicante, Several villages in an area of above four square miles were thrown down by vertical movements in the valley through which the Rio Segura flows, and many small fissures were formed in the alluvial soil; while black mud, sand, and marine shells, were thrown up from small cavities formed near the sea. Such are some of the severer earthquakes on record ; but less considerable shocks are of frequent occurrence in various countries, especially in South America and Italy. Smart shocks arc occasionally felt in Scotland : they have often occurred at Cowrie, in Perth shire. A smart, shock rent the spire of the Town Hall of Inverness in the year 1816 ; and another earthquake was felt at Lancaster in 1831, which shattered chimneys and alarmed the inhabitants. But all the shocks experienced- in our island have fortunately been insignificant compared to those which have been felt in many other countries. Bochsa and Mrs. Bishop are said to have given a concert at Copenhagen. A surgeon in Australia has been committed fcr trial on a charge of dissecting the body of a boy while warm. It is said, that Sir John Colborne, the late governor of the Canadas, is to be raised to the peerage. The customs paid in Belfast for the last half year exceed those of the six months previous by £20,000.

BILLIAILDS. — The best billiard player in the world is said to be Edwin Kentfield, or, as he is more popularly known, Jonathan, the Brighton marker. The duty on foreign wheat has receded to Hs. Si. per quarter ; this, however, must prove of short iluratio , i, owing to the late prices. It is stated that the government intend to intl . }..lace their project regarding the establishment of railroads hi Ireland soon after the assembling of parliament. Prince George of Cambridge is to :obtain Ow Lieutenant Colonelcy of the 12th D►:agoons, and to act as Second Colo nel under Colonel Stowell:—Limerick Stando-d. - A sheep, belonging to D. Blake, Esq. cf Holway, near Taunton, was last week discovered in the reeers of a linhay on the farm, having been there without food ,jour• weeks and three days ! On being found it was carefully tr..T.ltcd, but died in a few hours. PROPOSED LIGHT AT THE MOUTH Or TAB THAMCS.--• It may be interesting to the shipping and cominercial inter ests of this country to learn that it is in the c oievaiplationof the Trinity Board to establish a fleeting light ta'ar the shoal called the Kentish Knock, at the mouth ef the Thames. — Kentish Gazette. ROCHDALE MONTHLY CATTLE FAIR, MONDAY, DEC. 2. —There has been a very good show of cattle in the market to-day, of every description, and rather more than an avecugo quantity of business done, at moderate prices. Drapes have been in good demand, and many have been sod at former prices.—Manchester Guardian, A FAMILY NAME.—A rather singular fact eaten:' out in the examination of a pauper named Manger, ea Tiairsday last, as to his place of settlement. In traehie Lis predeces sors, it was stated that the great grandfather of tae pauper was a foundling, having been left in a manger at CiaybroOk, near' Lutterworth, in consequence of which he °Wined that cog nomen.—Kentish Gazette. ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM AT SHEFFIELD.—On the night of Monday week, some persons threw co;ahustilile halls, wrapped in lighted paper, through one of the :inilows of St. Mary's Church, evidently to set it on fire. The villainous design was frustrated by the paper being extinf.eaislied in the fall. We are informed that one ball was wrapped , up in a portion of the Northern Star , and anodic r hi a t ea label. he balls weighed about 21 ounces each. It is evident that two persons must have been engaged in the ernie, ; one sup porting the other while he broke the window, end threw in the balls. A number of lucifer matches have been found under the church window.—Sheffield Indepen , 4.-nt. A TEXT APROPOS.—A clergyman at Windsor, on Sunday last, preached a sermon on the intended marriage of the Queen, meaning to be highly complimentary to hoe Majesty and Co. Unfortunately he took his text from the gospel of the day—" Here is a lad, who has five barley laaVes and a few small fishes," and thereby gave royal offence, and has been reprimanded accordingly. LETTER CARRIERS.—We understand that the letter car riers of Glasgow are, with the view to the introduction of the new penny postage, urging their claims for advance of wages. When it is known that this busy, and; in ma;ly rz'spects, im portant class of men receive only lbs. perwech of seven days, we cannot doubt that soine improvement will 'be made in their circumstances. The recent Gases in the High Court of Justiciary will show to what temptations they are exposed, and what are their opportunities of defrauding and disap pointing the public.—Perth Paper. RAILWAY SPEED.—As a proof of the speed of railway travelling, and the wonderful alteration it has made as to the time consumed in travelling, we may mention a cir cumstance which took place a short time ago, within the neighbourhood of 'this town. A basket containing. six or eight large fish, which were taken from the fish-ponds of a gentleman about ten miles on the other side of Derby. was sent down by the Derby and Birmingham train to the latter town, and from thence forwarded by the Midland Counties train, to the Bceston Station, where it was, to stop. It did so stop for about a quarter of an hour, and was then conveyed up to Mr. Boden's in Beeston, where it WAS opened after a short delay. The fish were then discovered to be alive, and, on being placed in water, recovered their usual liveliness, and , actually survived for several weeks, until they were killed and eaten by the family. This is an adventure tha t very few of the fish species can boast.—Nottingham Mercury. [Very likely not after being killed and eaten.] -,'-i"--------____2 Mk 9131 11, ULLU Ii Ai Iva a .La a v,...
