Just published, in boards, Bvo., with four Lithographic • Plates, Price 2s. 6d., A COMPLETE AND PRACTICAL SYSTEM OF lA. SHORT-HAND. By T. C. -FosTEn, Professional Short-Hand Writer, and Reporter for the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. London : WHITTAKER. and Co. Liverpool: STANDARD Office, and MARPLus. Manchester : SOWLER, end all Booksellers. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "This system of Short-hand will be found one of the most complete that has ever been issued from the press—indeed, we may say the most complete. Utility and simplicity are the main objects which th e author bas kept in .view. A per fect mastery of the instructions which Mr. Foster has given, will enable any one to take down, verbatim, the words of the most rapid speaker. Nor is this the only advantage which will accrue from an acquaintance with this system. the facility with which the notes may be afterwards read is a consideration of very great importance. The alphabetical characters have the recommendation 'of extreme simplicity. The signs for combinations ()netters, and the arbitraries, or marks for words, will be found highly conducive to expedition in writ ing. In this department the author has been eminently suc cessful. To Ladies and Gentlemen who may wish to master the useful art of stenography, we can cordially recommend this work, by which a student of ordinary ability, especially if a quick writer, may be enabled in a very short time to take down literal reports of sermons and speeches. We may add, that the professional short-hand writer may also derive much instruction from this compendium.— Liverpool Standard. "This is an exceedingly clever, instructive, and well written production. Generally speaking, works on steno graphy are not sufficiently entertaining and attractive to ob tain numerous readers; but we will do Mr. Foster the justice to say, that he has thrown much that is highly interesting in his " plain instructions," and has very happily blended the entertaining with the useful. Our author's principal object appears to be to instruct the uninitiated ; but we think his work will prove valuable in many respects even to those whose profession it is to practise the art. Of course his sys tem must, in a great measure, partake of those previously in existence, but as regards the distinctness and decision of his vowel characters, it is superior to any we have seen. His examples and illustrations are alsoexceedingly good, and the y, i ritius lessons are given with a plainness and perspicuity which must greatly facilitate the learner's progress. In short, to all who are anxious to obtain a speedy and accurate know ledge of the art of stenography, we earnestly recommend the work."—Manchester Courier. " We are of opinion that the last essay on stenography must almost of necessity be the best, and that the person most qualified to treat of it is a practical reporter. Mr. Foster's e nthusiastic admiration of the art, has, we think, led him a little too far; but it by no means detracts from the value of. information derived from his own personal observation and experience as a reporter, which is now offered to the public in a cheap and accessible form."—Liveri»ol Mercury. " We can with confidence pronounce Mr. Foster's system a good one. Constant. practice is absolutely necessary for any one who wishes to be a first-rate short-hand writer, either ou this or on any other system ; but we believe that a thoroughly practised writer of short-hand. would find it easier to follow a rapid speaker with this than with any other system. It also possesses the very great advantage of being easily readable when written."- Liverpool Times. From a hasty glance through the pages, we pronounce it excellent."—Lancashire Herald. " Mr. Foster we know has bad much practical experience in the art, and it is practical experience alone that can enable an individual to form a correct judgment of any par ticular system. Mr. Foster has, it appears, tried three seve ral systems, and has fixed upon that which he deems the best. On this he has made such improvements as, in the course of his practice, seemed best calculated to secure facility. With his judgment matured by constant consideration of the subject, he tells us that the system which he has now presented to the public possesses many advantages over those most in use, with which he is acquainted.— Liverpool " We thick its alphabetical characters are extremely sim ple, and that the signs for pluralities of letters, and the ar bitraries,which are more peculiarly the author's own improve ments, are highly conducive to expedition, without inducing :my corresponding difficulty in deciphering. While Mr. Fos ter's arbitraries and double and triple consonants are more numerous than those of other systems that we have met with. they seem all well adapted for practice, and if so, they cannot but he regarded as a material aid to the shorthand writer." Liverpool Courier. "Mr. Foster, in this little work, has given to the world the result of his own practical experience as a short-hand writer. In the two great requisites of short-hand writing—expedition and an easy facility in deciphering the characters when writ ten—the present system is superior we conceive, to most of the popular works on the same subject. Persons wishing to give the requisite application to the study of short-hand, will find in Mr. Foster's manual everything they require. The practicability of the system is best tested by Mr. Foster's re putation as an accomplished stenographer.—Liverpool Chro nicle. `• It is our opinion that the reporter is a far more efficient tutor in the art of stenography than they who, however well acquainted with it theoretically, have but. little practice; be cause in the former case you are most likely to be presented with a system perfected to die point or practical utility, while in the latter it is ten to one but you are taught a system which, is found to fail upon trial, and which may require ye»rs of al teration, amendment, and practice to fender it serviceable. We must admit that Mr. F'oster's system appears to us a very 'excellent one; that its capabilities are equal to ail demands upon it is evident from his own practice; and that it is laid down clearly and jndiciously, will be apparent to any one who peruses the book.— Liverpool Journal. "The little knowledge we possess of this very useful art enables us to state that Mr. Foster's system appears to us a very practical and easy one, and therefore a very good one. The work is cheap and very intelligible, and we have no hes tation in recommending it to thcHe who are desirous of be coming prnficients in the art, and to all who desire to have any knowledge of it." —Metropolitan amservalive Journal and Church. of England Gazelle. `• This system of Short-hand seems an excellent method It is the work of a Reporter on the Liverpool Standard."— Literary Oazetle, October 6th, 1838. "The admirers of short-hand writing, whether profession ally or as amateurs, have now offered to them a small volume or sound and practical instruction in that delightful art, by Mr. 'l'. C. Foster. We will only add, that so far as ourjudg ment goes, it is a book which truly deserves the patronage of the publie."--Sunderland B' aeon. "The title-page of this book is saying a good deal for the work, hut it is very fairly borne out. it is the best book on the subject we have seen, and a decided improvement upon many of the slow systems extant. T n all who desire perfect tion in this difficult art; we r e commend the purchase of Mr. Foster's treatise, —Metropolitan, illaga;itre lot Octolier, 1838. to 75 to 83 £8 Ii £8 10 £9 0I £9 10 I £lO 10 £l.l 10 I £l5 10 I £2O I .U 5 Pr Ct pr Ct pr Ct pr Ct J per Ct per Ct per Ct pCt p Ct LIVERPOOL ALBION BANK.

AUDlTOR—Augustus De Morgan, Esti_ Trust Companies, combining the business of Life Assur ance, prevail in the United States. 'The Administration of Trusts, at a fair remuneration, by a public body, always on the spot, under the guarantee of a subscribed capital, in preference to the agency of individual Trustees, possesses the following advantages : First—The difficulty of finding private friends willing to incur the responsibilities of a Trust is removed. Secondly—ln the event of a Trustee's death, the possible devolution of the estate to a single Trustee, and thence to his representatives, is prevented; and in like case. a reappoint ment of Trustees, the expense of a new deed, transfer of property, &c., becomes unnecessary. Thirdly—The inconvenience arising from the non-payment or receipt of money, and the postponement of important business during the occasional absence of Trustees, never can occur. Fourthly—A Public Trust Company is a guarantee against the possibility of loss, from neglect, improvidence, or fraud. The Periodical Repot ts of its affairs will be a constant test of its integrity and credit. The Company will undertake every species of Trust, whether permanent or for a particular purpose ; and will invest the Funds of a Trust according to the provisions of the Deed; but at the desire of the Settler, the Company adopting its own mode of investment, will guarantee a specific Rate of Interest, and repay the Capital committed to its charge at a defined period. It will be the general rule of the Company to employ So licitors in the conduct of the legal business of such Trusts as they may introduce. The liberality of Assurance Department is exemplified by its Tables. Half the declared Profits of the Trust busi ness will be divided amongst the Assured on the principles of participation. Extra Premiums for visiting Foreign Countries will be regulated by the length of the voyage and healthiness of the climate; but the Assured (not mariners by occupation) may pass in time of peace to or from the Continent, in decked or steam-vessels, from Gottenburg to Gibraltar, and all the European ports of the Mediterranean, without notice to the Office or extra premium. • DEFERRED ANNUITIES —The benefits of Life Assurance are extended to other contingencies than that of. the death of the Assured, by granting deferred Annuities at the attainment of a given age. These may be purchased by occasional savings in times of prosperity, and the sums so paid, together with the premiums on a Life Policy, will be considered as a Cash Credit, entitling the Annuitant or Policy -holder to a reasonable Advance of Money from the Company. EN DOWMENTS OF CHILDREN Parents and Guardians, by a single or by annual payments, may seen' e to a Child or others, the payment of a certain sum at any age, or at any period. Liberal Commissions will be paid to Solicitors and Agents. Shares to be applied for to the Secretary, at the Office. TABLE OF PREMIUMS, To be paid for Assuring £lOO on a Single Life.

Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9(1. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. ** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observation's on seminal weak ness &c. containing hints worth knowing by 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 traits 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 by 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 he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon man ki n d by t h e discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a .realer sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate com p laint, for the cure of which th e y h ave b ee n so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into ahnoSt every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war they . were the inseparable companion and safeguard of toe 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 the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mast sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury norany 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 complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion mar exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Hvgeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has mache its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting 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. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nine till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any of his preparations, WITHOUT A FEE. Letters (post-paid) enclosing. a remittance, answered by return and Medicines punctually transmitted to any ad dres3 by initials or name. No. 4& - ST4EL-STREWr, VERPOOL [PRICE FIVEPENCE.

Steuart Hull, Stirlinadeire,3d June, 1837. have been subject to periodi n il fits of Gout for the I.last fifteen years, and in April, 18ag, I was attacked with a very severe fit iu both feet, allele,: and knees. The first day and night I suffered the most excruciating pain, and next day I sent to the Apothecaries' Hall for a box of your Pills, and, taking three every twelve hoots, I was relieved of the paroxysm in thirty-six hours, and was able to walk from my bed-room to the drawing-room the sixth day, which, in my former fits, I could not do for six weeks or two months. I then took only two Pills morning and evening, when the inflammation gradually subsided. I never leave home with out a box of your Pills, and when I find the least stiffness in my joints or sinews I take two of them at night, and feel perfectly wed next motiong. I have recommended your Pills to a great many who suffer from Gout, and those who took them felt their efficacy. I would have written you sooner, but my medical attendant advised me not. to do so until a considerable time elapsed so as to ascertain whether they made an effectual cure. I now send you this certificate both on your own account and those of my fellow-sufferers ; and as I am well known in the Western Counties of Scot land, you are welcome to publish this in any way you think proper, and I will be most happy to give every information to all inquirers. I remain, &c., ROBERT STEUART. And to this Testimonial may be added another Proof of the effects of Dr. Barker's Gout Pills : Edinburgh.. 9, Henry-street, 3d April, 1831.

AND PILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH AIINERAL MARMOIIATUM MONS. LE DRAY St CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respectfully inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitatits of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma nently at No. 70, 51 , ;EL-STRE ET, 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 in 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 rentove this destructive complaint by a single ap olieation 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 spring , , wires, or ligatures, answering all he purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the weaver with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : A single tificial Tooth £t) 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 faille 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 effectuallyremedied.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2e. 9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual Corea venereal diseases, gonorrhea, gleets, strictures, semiun 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 pe r f orm i ng a perfect cure in the sho r t 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 nut every part (de 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 orosSer 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 corn - plate cure without the least exposure to th e patient. 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 inn 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.

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE LIYERPOOL ST4NDARD. • Ste,—Having noticed a few very able and judicious ob servations of " Vignola" in your paper of Tuesday last on the total absence of true taste evinced by the amateur writers in the Albion on the decorative part of Architecture,. I have, since the late disastrous hurricane, had my opinions con firmed of the lamentable inefficiency of our Practical Archi tecture in this town and neighbourhood, especially in the construction of roofs: • Many of these roofs are composed of the most flimsy ma terials, such as American timber, and of the .most improper scantlings. Rafters, 3 by 2,1 inches, laid on.purlins scarcely sufficient to bear their own weight, upon which all the other materials'of the roof depend,—these purlins, in most cases, have only a bearing of .11 inches at each end, and even not that when a stack of shinnies come in the way,--and are much too weak, which is obvious from the sunken appearance of nineteen out of twenty of the roofs executed in this man ner; the rafters are nailed to the purlins, and to a ridge, or first piece , at the top, (likewise too w ea k,) t h e f eet, or other end of the rafters, are laid on the top of the brick wall, or edge of the gutter stone, without further communication than their own weight. The slates are hung, or nailed, to laths similar to those fixed to wood partitions for, plastering • upon , and are quite unfit for the purpose. • Were builders to cut their rafters out, 3, 4 1 -. by 2 inches, in stead of 3 by 2i, the sectional area being the same, the for mer would support a weight from a one-fourth to a one-fifth more than the latter, and to tie the rafter; by collars, 'or cieling joists, alib i, fix them at - the ends to plates, or bond timbers, secured on the tip of the walls; but .the timbers (rafters especially) ought to be of larger scantlings,. : or of a stronger quality than American pine, and we should have fewer chimney pots falling into,our bedrooms., The scantlings of fl, or are, in general, not deep enough ; and, if an inch Or two were added to the depth of these, and placed a little more asunder, as an equivalent for such, we should have less elasticity in the floors of ouraliart mews, and fewer walls bulging into the streets. . • Builders, in general, are not. so much to blame, as the inefficiency of the act of parliament for enforcing, and pro viding a stricter surveillance over houses in the course of erection, both as regards construction,, sizes, and dualities of materials.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, A CAR.P.ENTER: Liverpool, 9th January, 1839.
