MILK PUNCH ROYAL MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER MAJESTY. HIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a T century, been duly appreciated at ____ _ CHICHESTER: AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will_prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by age. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Catepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a .good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is th e best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

I have also in view the welfare of all individuals of unble mished character who may, by uncontrollable circumstances, be thrown out of employ. Having briefly stated the purport of my adopting a Registry of the above description, allow me earnestly to solicit the favour of your support in my new undertaking, which I doubt not you will honour me with, when I assure you that my utmost study will be to select those persons who can be strongly recommended by parties to whom they are well known. Persons requiring Situations may obtain every information as to vacancies suitable to their qualification. Truly thanking you for favours, already con ferred, I beg to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and much obliged Servant, WM. JAS. PLEYDELL, Accountant, &c., &c., 1, Dale-street, adjoining the Commercial Bank. Liverpool, May, 1842. I PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu -0 • larly to ca ll th e a t ten ti on of his Friends and the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound ed at his Laboratory, a trial of any of which will convince the most sceptical of their decided superiority. THE 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 are 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, &o. trom. 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. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. Whick. approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Oralybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SE/DLITTE Powocns is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ' and though numbers of people unac qua i n t e d w ith the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal 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 are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. VEGETABLE HAIR OIL Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles at ls. 3d. and 3s. each._ VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER. A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes all tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar properties preserves that necessary covering. —Sold in Boxes, 2s. 6d.

For the sake of those suffering, you may make what use you please of this letter ; Mr. Wilcockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well known in Nottingham. I am, sir, your obliged servant, August 28th, 1841. ANNIS ZENIA MASSENIA. To W. Grimstone, Esq., 39,„8r0ad-street. " 10th December, 1840, " SIR,—I have been afflicted for many years with a severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine, without receiving any relief; but I now delighted to say, with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I am in the 67th year of my age. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, " E. ROBSON. " 19, Bell -street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone." P.S.—Sir, I should not do justice without stating my relief was almost instantaneous. My Eyes became clear and free from humour, and by persevering in its use very frequently I am enabled to read small print without the aid of glasses, and continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight ! free from pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recommend your Eye Snuff to all I know. A. Z. M., Nottingham. To Wm. Grimstone, Esq. November G, 1841. Sip,--Having seen your advertisements, i inquired of some of these gentlemen who have derived so much relief from using your Eye Snuff." I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister for my son, who was suffering so much from the Head-ache and Deafness ; before he had used half of it, he was cured, which enabled him to follow his profession.—l am, yours gratefully, M. HACKETT. Mr. Banister, Surgeon, 2, Cross -court, Broad-court. Abstract of a Letter from Mrs. L. S. Brewer, Dressmaker 3, Edge-terrace, Kensi ng t on G rave l Pit s . „ " To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye Snuff sth December, 1840 " Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many medical gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr. Alexander : indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their skill. Physic, bleeding, blistering, with a seaton, and all kinds of lotions, but no relief,' till chancing one day being led by- your house, in 39, Broad -street, Bloomsbury, my guide inquired if I had tried your Eye Snuff, on which I purchased a is. 3d. canister, opened it in the shop, took some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my ho me . I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye Snuff cured me. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry. —l am, sir, yours gratefully, " L. S. B REWER." The following is one of Don G. Lobe's letters : Havannah, 14th August, 1841. Dear Sir,—l had the pleasure to receive in due time your friendly correspondence and supply of Eye Snuff on the 15th of August, also the 13th October last year ; however, from my extraordinary increased consumption of your delightful compound of herbs known as Grimstone's Eye Snuff, I take the liberty of asking you to forward by first ship 1500 more cases same as last. Sir,—l have enclosed you a bill, sixty days' sight, Messrs. Pinto Perize and Co., Crutched-friars, London. I further thank you for the appointment received through the Spanish Consul, Don Pedro Ortiz de Zugasti, at the court of Great Britain. Please to send the above Snuff with all possible speed, with a large quantity of Spanish testimonials. This article has become a favourite amongst the first circles of nobility and gentry, both for its medicinal and benign qualities. Indeed it appears to keep off diseases, as well as cure them, if taken as other snuffs.—l remain, sir, your most obedient servant, DON G. Long.

Betting at starting-11 to 8 agst Cold, Attila (6 to 1 laid two or three times), 12 to agst Jack, a 1 agst Forth's lot, 14 to 1 agst Seahorse, 20 to 1 agst Agre adle colt, 30 to 1 agst Chatham, 40 to 1 agst Combermere, to 1 agst William de Fortibus, 40 to 1 agst Lasso, 50 to agst Auckland, and 1000 to 10 agst any other. It will be seen that Auckland was ridde n by Lye instead of Marson, the change having been made in consequence of anonymous letters received by Lord Westminster, as stated by some, but from dissatisfaction at Satirist's race, as insisted upon by others. The race was advertised to come off at half-past two, and at that time most of the horses appeared at the post ; but it is easier to get a large field to the post than from it, and so it proved to-day, for two or three false starts and several dodging attempts caused an immense delay, and it was fully half-past three, " by Sh rews b ury c l oc k , " b e f ore the finll start took place. This accomplished, and the horses fairly settled into their places, Combermere took the lead, followed by Attila, Lasso, and Belcosur, the second lot being headed by Auckland, Chatham, Seahorse, Policy and Coldrenick ; to these succeeded a body of horses, (in racing phraseology— " the ruck,") and then the tail—viz., Defier, Robert de Gor ham, Palladium, Hydaspes and Jack, the latter having lo st a start of nearly one hundred yards. For the first quarter of a mile the pace was moderate, it then quickened, and Lasso immediately vacated the third place; but in other respects the race proceeded as we have described it till near the turn, when Belcceur headed Attila and Combermere, and, with the two at his shoulders, carried the running into the straight course, the lot behind them consisting of Chatham, Auck land, Seahorse, Policy, and the Agreeable colt,—Robert de Gorham, who had gradually i m p rove d hi s pos i t i on, l ying next. The front rank continued intact to the road, but it was not so with that behind : Coldrenick had already shewn that the distance was too great for him, Chatham fell lame, Seahorse, Policy, and the Agreeable colt had shot their bolts, and Ro bert de Gorham, passing them in succession, took his ground nett to Auckland ; within a few yards of the distance Com bermere gave up in lobo, and fell into the ruck • and imme diately after Attil a s h o t pas t B e l cceur, took a decisive lead, kept it to the end, and won with the most perfect ease ima ginable by two lengths. Robert de Gorham ran by Auckland half way up the distance, collared Belcceur at the stand, and beat him for the second money cleverly by a length, Auck land being well up with Belcceur at the finish. The Agree able colt and Policy were fifth and sixth, Seahorse dividing them from the crowd behind. Jack and Palladium were about the last two. The pace was good, but certainly not first rate. Value of the stake £4900. Colonel Anson, Lords Chesterfield and Maidstone, and, in fact, all the gentlemen connected with Scott's stable, are great winners on the race. The Manchester men are also on the right side, the balances to be handed over amounting, according to'report, to £70,000! (Where is it to come from ?) Considering what favourable opportunities the Coldrenick party had of hedging their mo ney, we take it for granted they have not been hit very hard, albeit their confidence (in a very bad horse) was almost with out a parallel in the annals of racing. The settling will take place on Tuesday next ;it must be heavy—we hope it may be a good one.

THE OAKS The only betting we heard after the races was 5 to 2 agst Lord Jersey's Adela filly, and 3 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Dil-bar. Our columns exhibit a striking proof that the value of land is on the ascendant, since the great result accomplished ten days since by Mr. George Robins, in the sale of the Brandestall Hall estate, to which we re f erred, producing at thirty years' purchase, on a rack rental, 30,000 guineas. He has announced to-day, of land only, at least X 300,000 in value.—Morning Post. From the best information, received by the last mail from Hamburgh, the loss to the principal fire offices in London is—X3oo,ooo sterling, X 200,000, £ l so,ooo—a sum much greater than was at first anticipated, but which will be paid in the course of this week. The losses of the Hamburgh fire office and the Prussian fire office in Hamburgh are much heavier than the above.--Sun. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—An affray took place at Han worth, near Hounslow, on Sunday evening, originating in a pot-house quarrel, between two brothers named Stores, in which one was severely stabbed in the back and abdomen. The sufferer is still alive, although in considerable danger, and his brother has been committed to await the result of his crime. The prisoner, it appears, was a man of violent and irritable temper, while his brother was remarkable for his meek and inoffensive disposition. On Thursday, Robert Smith, late teller in the Glasgow and Ship Bank, and James Wishart, wine and spirit merchant, Glasgow, were tried at the High Court of Justiciary, Edin burgh, for feloniously stealing large quantities of bank notes, gold, &c., amounting in all to £10,715 ss. Bd., the property of the Glasgow and Ship Banking Company. The jury re turned a verdict of not proven in the case of Wishart, but found Smith guilty, and he was sentenced to transportation for 14 years.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME, May 24.--The good bur gesses of Newcastle-under-Lyme entertain the most sanguine hopes that the motion for the new writ to be brought on in the House of Commons this evening will be successful, and that the vacancy recently created by the d isqualification of Mr. Harris will be speedily filled up by the return of a true hearted conservative. Mr. Miller, one of the former con servative members for the borough, improperly defeated by bribery at the last general election, declines for the present to offer himself as a candidate, and it is understood that Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, the son of the Lord Registrar of Scotland, and late member for the Kilmarnock district, should the writ be issued, will offer himself in that interest.
