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 dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous iffections, 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 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 complaint. 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 all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be mere appropriate than that which has giv:ei such general satisfietion ? The ygeian Herb Pills rout 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 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, f►om 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 propert►es 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 morniny until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, werHouT A FEE.

This unique preparation unites all the active powers of the most approved saline purgatives, with the palatable qua lities of a glass of soda water. In torpid state of the liver and bowels, bilious affections, cholera morbus, pains in the head or disordered state of the stomach, nausea, and violent sickness, it will be found a safe, speedy, and effectual remedy. It gives instantaneous relief in the heartburn, is of great service in preventing piles, fistula, and gout, and in allevia ting the febrile symptoms attendant on the latter affection. Derangement of the stomach, and head, &c. arising from too free indulgence in the gratifications of the table, is speedily removed by a tea-spoonful taken early in the morning. Prepared only by Benjamin Moxon, Chymist, Hull. Wholesale agents, Barclay and Sony, London; J. and R. Raitnes, Edinburgh and Dublin. Sold wholesale and retail at all the medicine warehouses in London, and retail by all venders of medicines throughout the kingdom. In bottles'at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and in family bottles at Ils., containing the quantity of five of the 2s. lA. size, a saving of 20 per cent. to the purchaser. May be had as above, that very popular and much-esteemed preparation of SARSAPARILLA, the CONCENTRATED COMPOUND DECOCTION, (Prepared by B. Moxon, Chymist, Hull.) " One table-spoonful added to a pint of pure water readily forma a pint of the compound decoction ; and, in justice to the preparers, we must say, appears to be more impregnated with the virtues of the ingredients, than the decoction made in the usual way."—See Gazette of Health and Practical Me dicine for January, 1829. In bottles at 4s. 6d., 125., and 225., the latter equivalent to 34 pints of the compound decoction of the London Pharma copceia. IMPORTANT CAUTION.—To secure the public against coup terfeit preparations, his Majesty's Honourable Commissioner of Stamps granted Moxon and Smith (then Co-partners) to hare " Moxon & Smith, Chymists, Hull," engraved on the stamps affixed to each Medicine. This criterion of the genuine preparations of Benjamin Macon is still continued, which be carolul to observe. Enourance Nroticro.

Manchester and Birmingham Railway Ojices, 23, Bond-street, Manchester, Sept. 21, 1838. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. Late Meeting at Stafford on the Subject of the Extension • Railway. ' 23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 1838. Sanpears that at a MEETIN G, over which you presided, held in the Shire Hall, Stafford, on Thursday last and purporting to consist of Owners of Property and Inha bitants, certain resolutions were passed, amongst which are the following:— "That this Meeting views with surprise and regret that the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company intend to prosecute their application to Parliament for an extension of their Railway, from near Stone dgwri the Trent valley to Rugby, instead of joining the GrartPunction line at Cheb sey. "That regarding such a proceeding on the part of the Com pany as a breach of faith towards this town, whose support they obtained in 1836 and 1837, against the same measure, when promoted by the South Union Company, this Meeting feels called upon to oppose the project, as it cannot have be come more beneficial or proper by the mere change of the hands promoting it." In the former of these resolution it is assumed, that the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company do not in tend to effect the Junction authorised by Parliament under their present Act with the Grand Junction Railway at Cheb sev, an assumption which the Directors are compelled to characterise as utterly unfounded. The latter resolution alleges that the Company in seeking an extension of their Railway by way of the Trent valley to Rugby, have broken faith with the town of Stafford. This imputation the Directors declare to be in like manner un warranted by the facts. It is very much to be regretted that, at a meeting profess ing to be called for purposes of inquiry, the discussion should have been conducted, and the resolutions no doubt prepared, as they certainly were read, by the Solicitor to the Grand Junction Company, sent there, not to advance the interests of the town of Stafford, but to impart a complexion to the proceedings suited to the partkular views of those whom he represented. And the Directors conceive that they have just occasion of complaint, that the influence of your station as Mayor, should have been given, even in appearance, to pro ceedings of an exparte kind, and that, without reference to or communication with this Company, resolutions have been passed under your authority misrepresenting their intentions and reflecting upon their conduct. At the proper time, which will be before a Parliamentary Committee, the Directors will be quite ready to meet any charge of breach of faith, by whomsoever preferred, either as regards their proceedings with the Grand Junction Railway Company, or with the town of Stafford. The former, indeed, will do Well to bear in mind that this Board distinctly imputes to them the very charge which they make against this Company, in, first, as senting to the present line of the Manchester and Birming ham Railway through the Potteries and pledging themselves to assist it, and then, so soon as the Act was obtained and the fear of a Trent line as thefconceived removed, endea vouring to prevent the construction of the Railway which they had thus pledged themselves to support, by refusing any and all arrangement with this Company, unless " Crewe" were their ultimate point. With respect to the town of Stafford, it has, of course, a claim to the improved communication with the Potteries and Manchester, which the line of the Manchester and*Birming ham Company holds out, and if it obtain those advantages, as no doubt it will, this Company will have discharged its obligations to the borough, not only without aid from, but against the wish of the Grand Junction Railway Company. So far from joining in the lamentation of Mr. T. Frith, one of the speakers at your late meeting, that " with regard to the manufactures of the place, in case of the projected line being adopted, Stone would have an advantage over Stafford," the Directors of this Company rejoice that the manufactures of Stone are likely to receive the impulse which the con struction of the Trent Railway cannot fail to afford ; and though the circumstance of a neighbouring town being placed upon a footing of equality with yourselves, may perhaps account for (it cannot justify) the hostility of Stafford to the project, such a fact supplies fresh motives to the Directors for vigorously pursuing the undertaking, and will no doubt encourage the public to continue to support it.—l have the honour to be, Sir,your very obedient servant, ( Signed) ROBT.

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.

PERRY and Cc., SURGEONS, may be IVIIL personally consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night, and on Sundays from Nine till Two, at No. 22, SLATER-STREET, near Duke-street, Liverpool, (private entrance first door up the passage ;)^ No. 2, gale-street, Lower Mosley-street, near to St. Peter's Church, Manchester, and No. 4, Great Charles-street,'Bir mingham: of whom may be had (gratis) with each box of pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhwa, Gleets, and Stricture, including Practical Observations on Seminal Weakness, arising from early abuses, so that all . persons can obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety. 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 constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a g eneral debility and decay of the constitution ensues. and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread ful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and lls. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a com plete 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 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 drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health. PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blood. 22, SLATER-TREET, NEAR DUtiE-STREET.

RAILWAY MEMORANDA. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.—The following is the amount of earth-work executed, and the number of men, horses, and locomotive engines employed on the works of the Midland Counties Railway Company, from the 27th of Au gust to the 22nd of September :—Earth-work, 203,037 cubic yards; number of men, 4373; number of horses, 438; loco motive engine, 1. NORTH UNION RAILWAY —As this highly important line of railway advances towards completion, increased interest appears to be felt respecting it. We believe we may state with some degree of confidence, that the line from Wigan t o Preston will be opened and travelled upon by about the-15th of next month. A further, but not, as we believe, a very pro tracted lapse of time will be necessarily required before the " North Union" can open for full and permanent service.-- Preston Chronicle. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.—The jury- empan nelled for awarding compensation to parties claiming da mages and purchase money for the land required for a portion of this undertaking, have given in their verdict. The follow ing exhibits the various sums claimed and awarded. The names of the claimants are awarded :—A claimed £6OO, ver dict £2l; B £3200, verdict £130; C £6O, verdict £11; D £4OO, verdict £104; E £1250, verdict £428; F £2OOO, ver dict £438; G £l3OO, verdict £550. Total claimed £6BlO, verdict £l3B2.—Dublin Paper. CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERN UNION RAILWAY.— Four contracts for the works on this important line, to the extent of above sixteen miles, are announced in our columns to-day.—We are glad to see so much energy manifested by the Directors to secure at the !earliest possible period the advantages which must accrue to the shareholders and the public on the completion of the line. —Bristol Journal, EXTORTIONATE CLAIMS OF LANDOWNERS FOR COMPEN SATION IN RESPECT OF PROPERTY REQUIRED BY RAILWAY COMPANIES.—We have had the curiosity to cast up the total amounts of claim and award in a dozen cases lately decided upon by juries, and find, that while the sum of -the, former falls little short of £lOO,OOO the latter scarce reaches £.20,000, or about one fifth o f th e modest demands made upon the companies ! In individual instances the disproportion is still more striking—the sum received being to the stun sued for as 1t07,$ or 9 ! To judge from a paragraph in one of the Paris papers of the week, they do not "manage: these things better in France ;" for in the case of the St. Germain Railway, we find that claims of 161,000, 423,000, and 622.000 francs respectively, have been cut down by juries to 5000, 65,000, and 89,000. In one instance the claim was 35,000 francs—the award only 150! We find, also, from the Irish papers, that in the course of the week the Dublin and-Drog heda Railway Company have carried into court seven cases of a similar character, in which the total sum claimed was £6BlO, while the award of the juries was £1382.. One con scientious gentleman asked £1250 but was obliged to content himself with £l2B, being just a fraction more than one-tenth of his claim.—Railway Magazine. • GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—We understand that the contract for executing the line between Ruscomb and Read ing, which was forfeited by Mr. Ranger, to the great-obstruc tion of the company's plans, is now subdivided ,into four portions, and re-let to contractors who are bound to complete the line within seven months. Should they succeed in their undertaking, the whole distance between London and-Read ing will be opened for traffic in the course of the neat sum mer. Between Bath and Bristol, and on the easteru side of Bath, increased activity is manifested by the various con tractors. We learn that a very large body of mere-recently discharged in consequence of the completion of the London and Birmingham Railway, have been set to work at various points of the Great Western railway. The principal engi neer is strict in enforcing penalties for the non-completion of a certain quantity of work within the time specified, and every thing indicates much determination and energy in the direction Still the operations are on such a gigantic scale and the obstructions of tunnel work so formidable, that we do not look for the completion of the line for a very long time. The company will, however, be in the receipt of a. large in come.after the Reading line is opened, as the traffic will then be wholly transferred to the railway, and the carrying trade of this populous town is itself considerable- We think it probable that a large accession of passengers will also be re ceived from the Oxfordshire side of the county; and as Reading is within 28 miles of the University, it- is likely that this route will be preferred to any other.--Berkshire Chronicle. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—The great progress which has been madelin the works on the Manches ter and Leeds railway, between this t own an d Li tt l e b oroug h , a distance of about 15 miles, will be seen by the following particulars, extracted from the report of Mr. Gooch, the company's engineer, which was read at the half-yearly meet ing of shareholders on the 17th September:—The total quantity of earthwork on this district of the line' is about 2,110,000 cubic yards, of which 1,615,000 cubic yards have been already executed, and no less than 1,100,000 yards during the last SiX months. Again, the total quantity of brick work and masonry may be stated at about 50,500 cubic yards, of which 33,000 is completed. Several of the above works were commenced so late as the month of March last, and none of them earlier than September, 1837.—The report proceeds to state that, from the great progress already made, should the weather _prove tolerably fine, there is no reascin'to doubt the completion of this portion of the line by the month of May, 1839. LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY.—The farther opening of the London and Southampton Railway took place on Monday, according to the announcement made in our last number. Vhe line is now opened for nearly half the entire distance; and the most active efforts are being made to com plete the remainder at the earliest possible date. We un derstand that the result of this farther opening has-more than fulfilled the expectations of the directors, and affordslbe best possible grounds for continued confidence in the undertaking. The obstructions which interested parties have thrown in its way have only served to confirm still more the calculations rt oi nk, et i m t l s da ,s p th r ea o xs m hs o ieb t l promote troison. been e p ti p t o s sn i f t c io rouu n i tnl t s ee o s rse v d i ole hostility by nt, an y a n ws d so iamsiilna intended e o dr g oe j c de o c n tto: exertiondelay the and event enterprise y which has it called wa s signally forth d these efeated remarks b assuredly, will all similar exhibiti ons b e t h at have ill ad yi n ew so ; similar object.—Railway Times. !
