ROYAL SOVEREIGN, JOHN IVPARTHUR, Commander, • ;: ROYAL GEORGE, ROBERT COOK, Commander ; The GLASGOW and LIVERPOOL ROYAL STEAM PACKET COMPANY have, in the construction of these splendid Iron Ships, made every arrangement for speed, com fort, and safety. They are divided into live sections, by means of iron partitions, or bulkheads, both air and water tight, guarding, in an especial way, paisengers and goods from any danger that may arise from Aie or water, and would, with reference to the latter, preserve their buoyancy under circumstances which would at once be fatal to any vessel built of timber. These vessels proceed with passengers and goods direct from Liverpool to Glasgow, thereby avoiding the great incon venience to passengers of trans-shipment into small river boats at Greenock, and securing delivery of goods at Glasgow many hours sooner than can be done by wooden vessels.

ARRIVAL OF NEW FRENCH LONG AND SQUARE SHAWLS, FROM THE EXPOSITION, AT PARIS, At the EMPORIUM, 56, (late 78,) BOLD-STREET. DRINGLE, LAWSON, and KEMP respectfully announce the return of one of the Partners from/France, where he has been engaged, for the last month, in/selecting various descriptions of SHAWLS for their Establishments, in Li verpool, Manchester, and Glasgow ; and, the Goods having now come to hand, they have much pleasure in submitting them for inspection. Ladies may not be aware of the pecu liar advantages the Buyer were favoured with, from the cir cumstance of the Grand Exposition being open, in Paris, during the time. This Exposition occurs once in five years, and includes, not only Shawls, but every description of article manufac tured in France, which has been invented or improved upon during the preceding five years, and, as it is liberally fostered and patronised by the Government and Court, extraordinary exertions are made for pre-eminence in each department, and the successful competitors are not only rewarded by medals of gold, silver, and bronze, but, from the merits of each being more fully brought before the public, reap more substantial encouragement in the encrease of sale of their various productions. It was particularly noticed, that in no department had there been greater invention or originality displayed than in the Shawl department, and the extent of the purchases of the richest Long Shawls by the Royal Family was truly astonishing ; the Shawl more especially liked by the Queen, and since called the " Queen's Shawl," excited universal admiration. P., L., and K. have been successful in purchasing Dupli cates of the finest Shawls in the Exposition, including the " Queen's Shawl," and many others equally rich in design : such Shawls are rarely seen, and from their beauty, com mand immediate sale. P., L., and K. will feel happy to show them to their Friends and the Public, either as curiosities or for purchase. The choice is magnificent, consisting of novelties from £2 to .t 3(:). ~~. ~: AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. HEARTS RESOLVED AND HANDS PREPARED, THE BLESSINGS THEY ENJOY TO GUARD.-SMOLLET. VoL.

AT a period like the present, when such efforts are being made, on all hands, in support of Church extension, when a cry has gone throughout the length and breadth of the land for Scriptural Instruction, it is truly gratifying to know that in Liverpool a strong feeling has been exhibited in this good work, proportioned in some measure, to the bless ings with which its own • commercial interests have been attended, and certainly not inferior in point of energy and perseverance to that of any town in the kingdom. _ _ In proof of this assertion it may be stated, that for the last thirty years Church accommodation has been on the in crease at the rate of one thousand and some hundred sittings annually ; that in the year 1809, the provision made by the Establishment for the public worship of the Almighty con sisted of some ten or twelve Churches, capable of contain ing not more than so many thousand individuals ; whereas now, in 1839, the cloud which for a time overshadowed the land has in our days begun to drop fatness—to pour forth its showers, so as to leave few parts of this town unrefreshed by its mild and venial influence—there being at present in Li verpool and its environs, upwards of forty Churches, con taining- an average of twelve hundred sittings each, in con nexion with our Protestant Episcopal Establishment; so that from the extreme limits of the Borough. north and south— from Kirkdale to Toxteth Park—there exists a chain of Tem ples for the worship of the TRIUNE JEHOVAH, and at such convenient distances as to leave every man within that range inexcusable who neglects to hear the glad tidings of a Saviour. But it may be asked—What of those other districts not less important and more populous than any to which notice has been hitherto directed? What has been done in fur therance of this " good work" in the neighbourhood of our shipping stations, along the densely-crowded shores of the Mersey ? What for the large and rapidly-increasing popula tion of Windsor and its precincts ? We reply that, as to the Christian nothing seems done whilst anything remains to be done so these truly important and populous districts have not escaped the notice of the Christian philanthropist, as is abundantly testified by the exertions lately put forth in their behalf by the Clergy and their several congregations, and with such triumshant success. It is hardly necessary to advert to the formation of the Liverpool Church. Building Society, since which time the erec tion of several new Churches has been decided on ; funds to a very considerable amount have -been raised ; suitable situ ations for some of the intended Churches secured ; the work now proceeds briskly and auspibiously—and all within the short space of a few months. When, in addition to the above, it is stated that, in the neighbourhood of Windsor, also, a large and beautiful Church is now in progress of erection, and that thus no chasm remains to be filled up, every man, who is really a friend to the Church of our Fathers, to a pure, chaste, and Scriptural system of Religious Worship and Instruction, must in his heart rejoice, seeing that this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes." It now remains briefly, but specially, to notice the new Church of St. Saviour, Windsor, with a view of enlisting the sympathies of the Protestant public in its behalf. For many years past various efforts have been made to secure to this portion of our town the advantages of adequate and convenient Church accommodation; but from one cause or other, these efforts, it is to be lamented, have proved abortive. The difficulty of procuring land of - good title and satisfactory tenure, want of funds awl ether impediments, have stood in the way of their accomplishment ; but it is matter of thankfulness to be enabled now to announce, that these obstacles have been almost wholly surmounted ; that land, freehold of inheritance, has been purchased in a most desirable situation ; that a plan ' has been adopted, a Com mittee formed, Trustees named, and the work of building already in so advanced a state, as to justify the hope of its being opened for public worship early in the summer of 1840. In behalf of this Church an appeal is now made to the In habitants of Liverpool ; and when it is considered that thus an elegant and convenient place of worship will be afforded to the wealthier portion of the community—that the same advantages will be extended to the middling classes, and at moderate expense—that four hundred sittings will be appro priated to the use of our poorer brethren, and that the bless ings of a solid and Scriptural Education, through the medium of Sunday, Daily, and Infant Schools, will, with God's assistance, be put' within the reach of not less than ONE THOUSAND CHILDREN, it is hoped that this appeal will not be made in vain, remembering that "there is that scattereth, and yet increaseth ; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." The foundation stone of St. Saviour's Church was laid by the Rev. AUGUSTUS CAMPBELL, on the 15th April last. Contributions in aid of the prosecution of the work will be received at the BANKING , HOUSES previously named, and also at the STANDARD, COURIER, and LIVERPOOL MAIL Newspaper Offices. EiValittb.

A man of the name of Jackson was declared bankrupt some short time since. There was little or nothing for the creditors expected, and all was passed off without suspicion. In the course of last week it was ascertained that the bank rupt had taken apartments, and the messengersenger in bankruptcy thought it would be worth his while to visit him, and see how the occupant was getting on in the world. When he arrived there it was said the bankrupt was out ; and he then asked the female who attended him whether the bankrupt had any pro perty, she replied, " Only that box," pointing to a small box—which the messenger carried off to the official assignee. The box was opened, and under sheets and other bed-linen, there was discovered a large amount of money to the extent of nearly £1,500 in notes and gold. - [PRICE FIVEPENCE.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum. MON s. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the. Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STlciEWr, eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fia- hp the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, - arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral 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 he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there are 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 application, without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or living, any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken ,out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,— at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth £0 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 Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

THE KING OF THE FRENCH AND TEMPERANCE SOCIE TIES.—Some of the Paris journals have discovered a terrible crime on the part of the King of the French. It seems that some time since his Majesty received an envoy from the American Temperance Societies, who came to represent not only the pernicious effects of spirits, but the diabolical results of wine.bibbing. The worthy envoy wrote home that the King of the French was a decided enemy of wine, and very anxious for the decrease of its consumption even abroad, — Times.

Mr. Dowling, if the authornf such letter, in his first pa ragraph asks what is the best mode of proceeding to obtain redress! What redress can Mr. Dowling for, as lIE IS NOT A SUBSCRIBER? In the second parr.grapl) he alludes to our prospectus, and the advantages that would accrue from the work. The prospectus was a faithful rep:wentation of the work we intended to compile ; and in additioni,itheiv. - o, we have, (without extra charge) added the towns of Pre,;cot and St. Helens, and the coast of Cheshire, between Easalam and New Brighton. Mr. Dowling. further' states thin ss became a subscriber on the understanding that the work *as' to be delivered at_an earlier period. - The delay was occa sioned by our desire to afford the most correct commercial information, combined with the ne-,i'Doek dues, and other important matter.

Mary Dowding was charged at the Mansion-house, on Tiles day, by Mr. Francis Lessey Sele, of Gallea-qhay, under the following circumstances :—The complainant stated that on the previous night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he was passing the foot of St. Dunstan's-hill, when he was abruptly stopped by the prisoner and another woman. The other female stopped to tie her barter, and whilst he was looking at her leg, the prisoner, he believed, picked his pockets. —The Lord Mayor—You naid for peeping. (Laughter.) Was it a very fine leg? ~Complainant—Ll can't say much about it.—The Lord. Mayor—ion must have been very in tent upon the leg, to lose your pUrse without knowin g any thing about it. • (Laughter.) Cornplainatit—lt is absolutely the fact. The prisoner' walked off whilst I was looking at the leg, and the other went away immediately afterwards. In a few minutes I missed my purse, which contained about 15s.—Lee, an officer, stated, that on.taking the nrisoner into custody, she threw some silver on the ground. She also threw away two purse slides, which the complainant identified. The prisoner, whO denied all knowledge of the transaction, was then committed for trial: • OIL PAINTINGS COPIED BY MAXIIINERY:^FOT several years the frequenters of the Museum of Berlin remarked the constant attendance of a man of small. stature, and of poor and miserable appearance ;- instead of Walking through the gallery, and noticing the different pictUr'eS, he stopped invariably, in the room devoted to the Flemish School, con stantly fixed before the same picture—nainely, theportrait of Rembrandt; there he stood for hours together with his hands behind his back, and. hiS eyes rivetted upon his favourite canvass. Thus it was that M. - Liepman was engaged during 10 years in meditating the invention of a machine capable of copying oil paintings, and in Which he has at last succeeded beyond his most ardent wishes. 'At his house can now be seen more than 100 copies of the " portrait of Rembrandt," all preserving most scrupulous resemblance to the original. How this result'Was - obtained is the secret of the inventor. When one reflects upon the numberless privations,, and some times even actual *ant xvltich this . artist must have under gone in the pursuit of his object iria to be hoped that so great an improvementwill Meet with its - just reward, • With the assistance' ef afaithful servant he worked for several years from morning till night, to the great injury of his health, but his ardour was not to be damped, and his exertions in creased with the difficulties of the task. Whati&more sin gular, he did not in the first instance take an entire copy of the picture, but in separate portions, and at different periods, as he got them into his head after a :careful examination at the museum. Thus he brought home one day aneye,.then a nose, then apart of the hair. It was thus that 3.e4rs ,; ere taken up before the work .was comPleted. He has. produced with this machine in one of the galleries of the museum, and in the presence of the d:r ators of the establishment, 100 copies of the " Portrait of it—ttbrandt," painted by Rein brandt himself; a picture of which the copying in the ordi nary manner offers the greatest difficulties. Ills copies are perfect, and repeat even the most delicate touches of the colouring. He asks only 20 francs for each copy. NEW MODE OF POACHING.—An association has been formed in Peebles-shire fortt i p preservation of game. They have been pretty successful, Ife belieVe, in repressing the or dinary kinds - • of poaching • but we beg to call their special at tention to a new triode which was poicted mif - to us the other clay by an Engliih gentleman, Who: first discovered it on ` a range of Peebles-shire moors, whitiblie a - dozen miles - or so from Moffat. Having aimed at a particular - bird' and brought it down, he was rather surprised when his attendant, 'Or an accompanying friend, remarked that three had fallen. 'On going up, there was the bird he had shot; and two otheri:iit tempting to rise, but unable to make more than a yard or two of flight from the ground. They were speedily caught Laud on being examined, it was found that the tips of their pinions had been cut for some time. This roused the suspicion - of 'our sportsman; and, on making enquiries in various quarters; he found that _this practice of cutting the pi n i ons i s b y no-means uncommon. Certain parties on the hills find the nests - in the breeding season, watch the coming out of the chicks, catch them and cut their wings in the manner aforesaid, and then let them go. Well, the birds, though thus docked, feed as plump as their neighbours among the heather, till the time comes round when they are fit for the poacher's- purposes. The enemy then takes his rounds, and knowing where the nests were, knows Where to spring his game. The old birds, and such of the brood as he had not caught when fledglings, are raised, and whirr away. Their wing-curtailed companions attempting to do it, are instantly seen and pursued; and se cured with little trouble. And so the poacher doetchis deadly work. Our informant, who has been taking these Peebles shire shootings, and paving his. V) yearly to the Game pre serving Association referred to, hasfound far fewer, grouse this season than usual, which he attributes to the cowardly and destructive mode of poaching which we haNe now exposed, —Dumfries Herald. -.., wa=l4,ll 51.. .,,_1-1. 1 • ...., ° i' , ., 1 - Intend e d to sail on the 25th instant.
