T PRIESTLEY, CHE MIST , L or d-street, begs particu d • larly to call the attention 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, &a. trom the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disghised 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, Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ' • and though numbers of people unacquainted with 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 PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE.

TO THE BURGESSES OF RODNEY-STREET WARD GENTLEMEN, ICAN never sufficiently express my obligations to you for returning me a third time as your it epresentative in Council. The promises of support which were given to me were such, that I felt scarcely any doubt of the result, and nothing would have exceeded my gratification at seeing these promises so well kept, if my own individual case had not been completely merged in my satisfaction at the general result of the day.

GARDIS T EKrAURIST, from London, has the honour respectfully to announce, that in consequence of the numerous applications which have been made to her, for an extension of the period to which she had intended to limit her stay in Liverpool, Mrs. G. has made arrangements so that she may be consulted on all Diseases of the Ear for a short time longer, at 75, RENSHAW-STREET. The success which has attended her practice during the last fourteen years, in various parts of the United Kingdom and on the Continent, having, by its innocence and efficacy, insured her the confidence of the public and the patronage of the Faculty (as attested by certificates both oral and do cumentary), any further comment on her part is unnecessary, and she merely begs it to be borne in mind that, in cases beyond the reach of art, her opinion may be obtained (per sonally) without the usual fee. The late Dr. G.'s Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Diseases of the Ear, may be had at her residence, as usual. Extract from the report of the East London Institution for the Cure of Deafness:— " Upwards of 200 cases have been cured during the last six months, and we have no hesitation in avowing that our success may be mainly attributed to our having, in most instances, discontinued the dangerous system of operating, and our having adopted Mrs. Gardner's new mode of treat ment by external applications."

Application to be made to Mr. CRONIN, at the Dispen sary. .t--c.R. IS NOW OPEN The Corporation of Liverpool having granted the site of the late OBSERVATORY, ST. JAMES'S WALK, a neat and elegant Building has been erected thereon, in which the PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, the discovery of which is ranked among the greatest scientific achievements of the present age, is now in DAILY OPERATION. THE PRICE FOR EACH PORTRAIT, INCLUDING A FRAME, IS ONE GUINEA. JOHN RELPH, Manager. Specimens may be seen, and Orders reee'ved. at Mr. LA CEY'S REPOSITORY OF AR'rs, 100, Bold-sheet. The Invention was recently introduced into England, at the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, LONDON; and the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals relating to its merits : (From the Times.) THE PHOTOGRAPHIC MINIATURES. — The principle has been so far perfected as to be almost incapable of further improvement. The novelty attendant upon the fact of being furnished in the short space of five seconds with a more correct miniature likeness than the most accom plished artist could paint on ivory, after days of laborious study, coupled with the fineness of the weather, drew together a host of curious fashionables, at the Poly. technic Institution, so many, indeed, that notwithstanding the short period of time occupied in the operation, the room was crowded for hours together, by parties anxiously waiting their turn. The apartment appropriated for the magical process—for so it may be termed—is well calculated 'for the object desired, being on the highest story of the institution. From the roof, which is constructed of blue glass, of about a quarter of an inch thick, a very powerful light is obtained, and it is so ingeniously contrived as to revolve with the sun. In a portion of the room, nearly in the centre, an elevated seat is placed, on which the party whose likeness is to be taken sits, with his head reclined backwards. In this posi tion the sitter is told to look into a glass box, in an opposite direction, about five from him, in which is placed the plate to be impressed with the portrait. Having done so for a few seconds, he descends, and in a few minutes afterwards a likeness is presented to him. The likenesses which we saw were admirable, and closely true to nature, beauties and de formities being alike exhibited ; therefore those who are ashamed of their personal appearance had better keep from the influence of photography. . . . (From the Morning Chronicle.) When we formerly described this process, the time requi site for taking a portrait was, generally speaking, about four minutes ; but in consequence of the great improvements that have been made, the time has been reduced to about five se conds on a clear day ; but during cloudy dull weather the operation may require from a minute and a half to two mi nutes. The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary as likenesses ; they are true to nature, for nature here is her own delineator. The features are admirably marked out and delineated, and the likenesses at first sight are so extraordi nary, that they are really startling. (From the Morning Advertiser.) PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESSES. — One of the most inter esting sights it is possible to conceive is now attracting crowds daily to the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street. The patentee has christened it the " photographic mode of taking likenesses." By this process, in the incredibly abort space of five seconds, the likeness of any individual is taken down on a piece of metal, and the portrait is a perfect fac simile of the sitter. It is nature herself that is called in to be the artist, and her performance is truly astonishing, leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human skill could effect. (From the Morning Herald.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We were present on Sa turday at the exhibition of the extraordinary process of taking portraits by the reflecting apparatus, lately patented, and now for the first time brought before the public. By the photographic progress, perfect likenesses are taken, in the short space of from ten to five and twenty seconds! We say perfect, because the prepared plate on which the objects is reflected must of necessity produce a perfect transcript of that object. The operation, therefore, being thus unerring, the fault of even the slightest failure in likeness can only be attributable to the person sitting, which, of course, may result from an assumed or unnatural position. Although the exhibition has been only of a private character, and of some two or three days, we understand that it has been visited by all the parties possessing the privilege. Among other influential personages present on Saturday, we noticed the Earl of Shaftesbury, who expressed his surprise and gratification at the extraordinary invention. (From the Court Journal.) OTOGRAPRIC LIKENESSES.—We attended yesterday at the private view given by the patentee of the reflecting ap paratus at the Polytechnic Institution, by which photographic likenesses are taken, and with the greatest accuracy, in a period varying from five to twenty seconds. We were de. lighhted with the exhibition. (From the Morning Post.) . . _ • The patentee of this invention has adopted the principle of giving these "reflections" to the public at a very moderate cost, compared to the ordinary . price of miniatures, trusting for his return to a general desire to possess them, which he anticipates must be felt by all persons who would cherish the best memento of a dear friend or relative. (From the Courier.) " Every line, every touch in the pictrue produced is from the pencil of nature, without flattery or fallacy." (Prom the Weekly Dispatch.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.- - -We . took an opportunity on Monday of again visiting the Polytechnic Institution, to witness the astonishing manner in which portraits are taken by the photographic process. The room was crowded with nobility and gentry, among whom we noticed Lord Aber deen, and several other persons of rank, each of whom, in the warmest terms, expressed their delight and astonishment at the rapidity with which the portraits of different gentle men were taken, and the extreme fidelity in the execution. It is, in fact, impossible for the portraits to be any thing short of a complete copy oc h eature (From Observer.) PHOTOGRAPHIC Postll:Aim—The appearance of the miniature thus produced is that of a mezzotint engraving, the likeness being no question of opinion, but a plain matter of fact, for nature in this, as in other similar operations, makes "no mistake." There is such subtilty of touch and tone in the likeness as might fill a Vandyke or a Lawrence at once with delight and despair. Altogether this is a most wonderful and extraordinary exhibition. Those who in por traiture are fond of being " flattered," will certainly not patronise the photographic method of taking likenesses; but, on the other hand, they who want the real thing, and we presume them to be the majority, will unquestionably spend a guinea with great willingness in the production of a minia ture portrait which their fathers and mothers, wives, sisters, and brothers may " swear to." Separate rooms are also appropriated to ladies and gentlemen, and a female attendant w aits upon the former t o ass i st in arr angingl the dress so as to produce the most desirable pictorial effect. (From the Naval and Military Gazette.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PPORTRAITS.—FOT s ome time it was operate satisfactorily doubted whether lyhootongrathpehhyumcoauoldfaceevearodbfeorboiro, u s g o h o t s t t o o enable the artist t the slightest to take an unerring and effective likenes s, motion inevitably destroying the picture in its progrees. Ingenuity, perseverance, and repeated experiments, have at length completely triumphed over the difficulty ; and miniature portraits, infallibly faithful, are now taken, from a sittting of from .five to twenty seconds ; the time varying according to the intensity of light. (From Bell's Weekly Messenger.) E XTRAORDINARY FACT.—MINIATURE PICTURES.—II is bodily and personally the individual who is the sitter. It is as much so, as he sees himself in the most aceurate looking Flan but with this difference, that the Photographic likeness is the image as if it were removed from the surface of the mirror, and rendered perpetual. It is an everlasting memo rial of the man at the moment it is taken—and therefore the most precious gift that can be given to those who love him while living, and will cherish his memory when dead. It is a discovery, which not only saves the sitter from the tedium of being fixed in the same position for many , an hour for his likeness, (for this is accomplished in the s ixth • bll part of a mi nute) —but it affords to artists themselves the surest guide for copying other likenesses, whaber in ' • ' miniature, cn in oil paintings as large as lik.
