His Stock, which now stands A.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall lictitns 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, deafnes-, obstinate Oee:s, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues end a melancholy death puts a period to their dread tul sufferings.

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. hut effect a cam plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he 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 stu 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 driukillg, or any other cause, by which the powers id the constitution become enfeebles!, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health. , PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the hones, ulcerated sore throat diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbotio end glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturne pins in the head sang limbs, depression of spirits, and al iseases arising from an :impure state of the blood. - • 2, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOI. giatco by auction.

FOSTER, Professional Short-Hand Writer, and Reporter for the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. London! WHITTAKER and Co, Liverpool : STANDARD Office, and MAnriLEs. Manchester : SOWLEII, and all Botiksellerti ()PINIONS OF TIIE PRESS. "This system of Short-band will be fcititid,, one of the most complete that has ever b een i ssue d f rom the oml—indeed; we may say the most complete. Utility and simplicity are the main objects which the author bas kept in view. A.per feet mastery of the inst ructions• 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 corabidatintit of letters; and the arbitraries, or marks for words, will be found highly concltrcive to expedition in writ ing. In this department the author hat been eminently suc cessful. To Ladies and Gentlemen who may Wish to Master the useful art of stenography, we can cordially recornitend 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 lateral reports of sermons and speeches. We may add, that the professional shorl-hand writer may also derive much instruction from this compendium.— Liverpool Standard. " 'rhis 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 i entertaining With the useful. Our author's principal object appears to lie 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 seer,. His examples and illustrations are also exceedingly good, and the various 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 enthusiastic admiration of the art, has, we think, led him a little too far; but it by no means detracts front 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."—Liverpool 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 on 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 systetn. 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 had 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 is use, with which he is acquainted.—Liverpool Albion. " We think 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 any 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 be regarded as a material aid to the abort-hand 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, mil find in Mr. Foster's manual everything they require. The practicability of the system is hest tested by Mr. Foster's re putation as an accomplished stenographer.—Liverpool "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 the point of 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 years of al teration, amendment. and practice to render it serviceable. We must admit that Mr. Foster's system appears to us a very excellent one; that its capabilities are equal to all demands upon it is evident from his own practice; and that it is laid down clearly and judiciously, will be apparent to any one who peruses the hook.—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 hesi tation in recommending it to those who ar-e desirous of be coming proficients in the art, and to all who desire to have any knowledge of it."—Metropolitan Conservative Journal and Cliurch of England Gazelle. "The admirers of short-hand writing, whether profession. ally nr as amateurs, have now offered to them a small volume of sound and practical instruction in that delightful art, by Mr. T. C. Foster. We will only add, that so far as ourjudg ment goes, it is a hook which truly deserves the patronage of the public."--Sunderland flacon. "The title-page of this book is saying a good deal for th.e work, hut it is very fairly borne out. It is the best book on The siV.ject we have seen, and a decided improvement 40_ many of the sloWlystems extant.

AT a MEETING of this Society, held at the Medical Institution, Mount Pleasant, on WEDNESDAY EVEN• ing, the 2d instant ; HENRY BOOTH, Escp, in the C4ir, The following Prospectus and Laws for the : government of the Society (a draft of which had been prfpired by a Provi sional Committee appointed for the purpcose) were approved and adopted, and ordered to be printed for convenient dis tribution : PROSPECTUS Of the Liverpool Society for the Encouragement of Useful Arts and Inventions, to be called the LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY, Instituted October, 1838. The object of the Society is to promote the useful and ingenious arts in Liverpool, by securing to their inventors those advantages which, in every department of science, have been found to result from mutual encouragement and co operation, and from the interchange of ideas in unreserved discussion. Liverpool has taken a prominent part in the establishment of those wonderful exhibitions of mechanical power which are to be found in the working of modern Railways; and there is every probability that, in a few years, this port will be no less distinguished as the great centre of Steam Navi gation. In a community so favourably circumstanced, comprising a population of tvio hundred thousand souls, mostly engaged in the varied pursuits Of active life, a Society like the present seems peculiarly called fur. itruund us, and amongst us, there must exist, in abundance, the elements of success to an Association, through the Medium of which, by inter communication and mutual encouragement, inventive skill and ingenuity may be fostered and matured, which would otherwise remain undeveloped and unknown. Throughout the kingdom, the establishment of Railways has brought into intimate communion the most distant places, and vast are the moral and social influences to be anticipated in consequence. On a still wider field, our magnificent Steam Ships traversing the Western Ocean have linked to gether the Old and the New World. Profiting by the facili ties of the modern system of locomotion, the British Asso elation for the Advancement of Science collects together annually, into one focus, the rays of intellectual light from the wide area of the Civilized globe. More limited in their sphere, and humbler in their operation, but similar in princi ple, and equally essential to complete the harmony of the whole, societies like the present afford the means of friendly union and communication between minds of kindred tastes existing in large and populous cities; locally, in close prox imity with each other, but, in effect, estranged and distant ; separated by repulsive circumstances and artificial distinc tions, unless a link be supplied which, with magnetic power, shall bring the whole under one common influence. It will be the object of this society to supply the connecting chain, to remove existing barriers, and, as far as may he, to bring together into one centre the inventive talent uf this great community: It is proposed that the Society shall embrace a wide and varied range. It will not comprise the fine arts of Painting and Sculpture; but while it will have principally in view the useful mechanical arts, and those ingenious Inventions which may be classed in some department of Natural Philosophy, it will not neglect the ornamental arts by which our habita tions are embellished—which refine taste and stimulate inge nuity, and, by a gentle and unobtrusive influence, contribute their part to individual and social happiness. The following are the Laws of the Society, which will fur ther explain its nature and objects : LAWS OF THE SOCIETY. 1. The Society shall hold their annual meeting in January of each year, when the members shall elect for the ensuing twelve months a Managing Council, consisting of a Presi dent, two Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, Secretary, and ten Committee-men ;—tive members of the Council being a quo rum, and all being re•eligible. 2.

A discussion afterwards took place as to the election of the Committee and Officers of the Society; and it was resolved that in the first instance, as in future, the election should be by Ballot. The Provisional Committee was requested to prepare and distribute printed Lists or the Members, out of which the officers were to be chosen; and it was understood and agreed, that parties entering their names as Members, or making application to that effect before the election of Officeis shall take place, should be declared Members of the Society without the process or the BalL.t. The Meeting was then adjourned till Seven o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, the 151 h instant„when Members and Friends to the Institution are. requested to attend, at the Medical Flall, to proceed at once to. the electi on o f th e Com mittee anti - O ffi cers of the Society.

PROFESSOR SWEDOUR,'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from ithpr.per 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. ..** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this d►eadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from• the too free and indiscr►minate '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 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 venereafdisease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Sscedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he 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 avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate coinnlaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. 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 long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in r lI cases where the slightest suspicion or infection was enterta'ned. What medicine-can be more appropriate than that which has given strcl► general satisraction ? The H v•reian Herb Pill' , 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 ;'unctions of the body expelling the grosser hu mour:, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most 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 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 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. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina 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 dress either by initials or name. No. 42, SEEL-ATR EEr, LIVERPOOL. THE SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM RAILWAY.--We Understand the last week has exceeded all preceding ones in amount of business done, more than 20,0()0 persons having been conveyed on the line, in about five days. IMPORTANT TO BooKsmAans.—Mr. Gale. Bookseller, o Gnswell-road, has written a letter to the Times to say that an informer has proceeded against him for selling the Church of England Magaz;ne, without the printer's name at the begin ' rung as well as at the end of the periodical in question. As very many works are daily issuing from the press, liable, in like manner, to the same objection, it would be well for the booksellers at large to watch narrowly the result of this case, p ERILs of HORSEMANSIIIP.—Last week T. Chamberlain, Esq., of Cranbury , arid P. Holland, o f D um bl eton, near E ve . sham, late M.P. for Worcestershire, suffered severe falls while taking dangerous leaps, by which the former broke his collar. bone and dislovated his shoulder, and the latter experienced a fracture of the jaw-bone, accompanied by -severe bruises. Both gentlemen are, however, in a fair way of recovery. IMPORTS TO PRESTON.—The imports to Preston from Ire land' have tor sotne time p as t b een very la rge, a c i rcumstance which must be exceedingly encouraging to the parties con cerned in the improvement of the Navigation-of the Ribble, and the Wyre Railway. In the current week the following is the summary of this department of traffic at our port:- 6765 barrels of oats • 4817 loads of meal; 935 barrels of wheat ; 102 firkins and 7 crocks of butter.—Preston Pilot. In several departments of the goVernment our intelligent Ministers are busily engaged in repairing the mischiefs which, under the specious pretext of economy they have, from time to time, committed. A Whig Admiralty abolished that most valuable institution, the Naval College in Ports mouth Dock-yard, and disbanded the Marine Artillery. It is now proposed to revive the one, and will, w e h ave ' little doubt, ere long, see it expedient to reorganize the other. An Order in Council has passed for the re-establishment of the Naval College.—United Service Gazette. SOLAR SPOTS.—There is now on the eastern Lint) of the sun a very fine spot, nearly large enough to be seen without a glass. • With a pOwer of 150 to 200, it appears nearly oval, of a dark black, and separated by two bright lines from the northern side,—the one to the northwest, extending. to the centre, and there forming a bright spot of considerable size, equal in brightness to the rest of the sun. By the angle this spot subtens, it cannot be much inferior in size to the whole earth. There are likew.se more than twenty other small spots on various parts of his disc, all of which seem to be confined to within thirty degrees of the sun's equator. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM BRIGHTON.—With much regret we have to communicate the intelligence that the stay of the court at Brighton will be unexpectedly brought to a close, and that. her Majesty will take her de parture for Beckingham Palace in the course of the ensuing . week. Tuesday is the d a y a t present fixed upon; and lire' : 'wallops .have already commenced .for the removal, It is said that reasons of state render it desirable that•the queen should return to the metropolis: be this as if may; we cannot but remark, that her Majesty seems to have spent a very quiet, if not a dull, Christmas. —Brighton guardian. r
