COMPOUND ESSENCE OF JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, PREPARED AND SOLD BY JOHN PRIESTLEY, DISPENSING CHEMIST, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. Pint Bottles, 10s., Half-pint, 55. 6d.; and Quarter-pint, 3s. 6d. /THIS most efficient and agreeable Preparation of that well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific method, by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are preserved ; and the experience of many years has fully established the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the virtues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial effects have been par ticularly striking in the following complaints : Nocturnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlargement of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheumatism, &c., &c. ; in free ing the system after a course of Mercury its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies the blood, and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipilatous Inflammation from which so many persona periodically suffer; and when taken in the Spring and Fall of the Year as an Alterative Medicine, it will be found to aymt amt ONci.pLL L., ~.....titsztion which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the com plexion. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS, Sold in Boxes, 18.6 d. each, containing twenty-four Powders, which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself and combine scientific skill with great accuracy; and though num bers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imitations, they have invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agree able flavour nor the medicinal preperties of the Seidlitz Waters.

This invaluable Medicine immediately relieves Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and Huskiness in the Throat. These Drops are also the best preventative that can be taken against Sprrrixo OF BLOOD, and AFFECTION of the LUNGS. Persons troubled with ASTHMA are considerably relieved by taking a few doses of the Drops, as they tend to promote expectoration and remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure of the HOOFING COUGH, they are no less efficacious. Those who are troubled with that unpleasant tickling in the Throat, which deprives them of rest night after night, by the incessant Cough which it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find im mediate relief; and one bottle, in most cases, will effect a cure. Sold in Bottles, at Is. lad., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. PRIESTLEY'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, For Bilious, Liver, and Stomach Complaints, Indigestion, 6-c. Price Is. id. and 2s . 9d. per Box , duty included.

A few drops of this Flavour, added to Custards, Puddings, Cakes, Wines, Jellies, &c., communicate a most delicious taste of Almonds, ,td in Bottles, with Directions, 61 and 311. EMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION. TAIMIGRATION being much required in AUSTRA LIA. NEW ZEALAND, &c., and as the supposed expense of an OUTFIT often prevents individuals emigrating, S. W. SILVER and CO., CLOTHIERS, OUTFITTERS, and CON TRACTORS (having a large interest to maintain in those Colo nies). have been advised to make known that they can supply OUTFITS for MALE or FEMALE Emigrants from Four Pounds (net) upwards, or less when needful ; and for Children in pro. portion, at No. 4 BISHOPSOATE-STREET WITHIN, opposite the London Tavern. S. W. S. and Co., being the makers of nearly every article in all the Outfits they supply, and as one of their objects is to pro mote EMIGRATION, they neither receive from Agents, or pay the too rsnal commission to any person introducing Passengers to be fitted out, so that the Passage and Outfit may be procured at the least possible expense; but they will, on application, advise Passengers how to obtain the most economic passage to the Colonies. They have a Representative in every Australian Colony, to whom they ship Clothing monthly; thus they would forward small parcels free of expense. NAVAL and MILITARY OFFICERS, MIDSHIPMEN, CADETS, CIVILIANS, LADIES, &c., are outfitted as heretofore, at the CABIN-PASSENGER OUTFITTING Warehouse, isTos. 66 and 67, CORN HILL, (the Emigration Outfitting being exclusively at No. 4, BISHOPSGATE-STREET WITHIN), LONDON, and each branch at ST.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT YET INVENTED. CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Governments, the HaTh. East India Company, the New River Company, the Principal Dock Companies, and other Public Bodies. manufactured by WALTER CARSON, (Successor to the Ihventora,) 15, TOKEN HOUSE YARD, (back of the Bank of England,) London. The Anti-Corrosion Paint has been used by the Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on iron longer and better than the very best white lead or any . other description of Paint •, and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, all the iron guns and gun carriages, both for land and sea serv i c e , have been painted with it for ie above period. It has also been used in great quantities by other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve wooden houses, farm and other outbuildings, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, z i nc, lead, old compo, & c. fronts, and tiles to represent slating. It will be found a very superior preservative of iron steam boats, iron bridges, piers, or any other extensive iron works. This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay of old Stone or Brick Mansions, Churches, or other public edifices requiring an effectual defence against the elements, as it will i become harder than stone in a few months after it s laid on. It is particularly recommended to West India Proprietors, Emigrants, and others connected with the Colo n i es , w h o w i l l find it to stand all climates better than any other Paint. The superiority of the - Anti-Corrosion to any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by Color Manufacturers, Painters, Oil and Colormen, and all others interested in the sale of common Paint. _ _ Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their outbuildings, &c. properly preserved, will effect a very consi derable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby avoiding the enormous charges . generally made by Painters. The Anti-Corrosion is a Powder, and it will keep any length of time. Colors : White stone, light ditto, drab or Portland ditto, Bath ditto, light and dark yellow ditto, light and dark oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, copper and black, 345. per cwt. ; invisible green, 505., deep green, 605., bright green, 605., and blue, (for carts and wagons,) 60s. per cwt. Large tinned brushes, 38. 6d. ; small tinned ditto, 2s. 6d. ; and sash tools, Is. 6d. each. Oil and Turpentine, per gallon. The expense of the colors at 345. per cwt., when the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb. ; and those at 60s. are about 6d. per lb. In submitting particulars and prices of the Anti-Corrosion Paint, W.

The following case will illustrate the success of the treatment adopted _ " James Pollard, aged 20 years, residing at 65, Preston-street, had suffered from a most inveterate scrofulous complaint of the head from the early age of four years; his head was a complication of such accumulated disease, so loathsome to the sight, so offensive to the smell, and altogether so repulsive, that those who were under the necessity of attending upon him, performed that service with reluctance. He had been under the care of different gentlemen of the medical profession, com bining all the skill and talent of this neighbourhood. He was also a patient for ten months in the Liverpool Infirmary, and six months at the Dispensary ; but there the combined skill of the most eminent of the faculty was defeated, as the individual exertions had before been. As a last effort he was placed under the care of Mr. Taylor, who succeeded in effecting a perfect cure, and he is now well, healthy, clean, and strong, and likely to have a good head of hair.

Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Stokesley, dated September 3rd, 1847. To Professor HOLLOWAY. Sts,—Mr. Thompson, National Schoolmaster of this Town, desires me to send you the particulars of his Son, who had been bad for three years and a half, and has received the greatest benefit by'the use of your Pills and Ointment. He is of a scro. fulous constitution : a pleurisy had left a large collection of matter in the chest ; this eventually formed a passage through the wales of the chest, and ended in three fistulous sores which discharged large quantities of pus, when he was induced to try your Pills and Ointment; at this date he was apparently in a dying condition, the stomach rejectml every thing it took. Your Pills and Ointment had the effect of completely curing both the cough and stomach affections, his strength and flesh are also restored, his appetite keen, and digestion good. There is every prospect that a little further continuance of your me dicines will finish the cure. (Signed) ROBT. CALVERT. The " Mofussilite" Newspaper, publish'd at Meerut, has, on the 15th October, 1847, copied an article from the " Benares Recorder." of which the following is an Extract : "The Prince of MAHARAJAH BISSONATH SINOH, Who WAS temporarily residing at Chittercote, was suddenly taken ill with Spasmodic Colic, and during his illness His Highness often asked for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, as he had heard much of their virtues, but none could be obtained in the neighbour hood, and Professor Holloway, no doubt, unfortunately loses a certificate which would have graced and dignified his list of cures." The native Princes are now using Holloway's celebrated Pills and Ointment in preference to every other medicine they being so wonderfully efficacious in the cure of diseases in India.

The growing demand for articles of a superior description i ts this branch of business, and the rapid increase of his Chande lier trade, have induced Mr. Smith to extend his premises considerably, and to make such alterations as will, on that day, enable him to present, at one view, the greatest assortment of truly elegant and elaborate designs to be seen out of London, and at the same time a number of patterns admirably adapted for ordinary purposes, in which recent improvements are scarcely less conspicuous. In this town the use of Gas has become almost a necessity, not only because it is preferable in itself, but because it is an economy; and in inviting an inspection of his Gas Fittings, the Proprietor believes that he is enabling Householders, who are aware of the advantage of using Gas, to gratify their taste at a cost which, only a year or two ago, would have been quite in adequate to the purpose.

GREAT FIRE IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ; ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS. IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester, nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes, Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes, &c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning mass being the one alluded to below. " Manchester, August 13th, 180. "GENTLEMEN, —In the late Fire in Market-street, which entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my Ware house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers, watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire. resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public. " I am your obedient servant, " THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant, " New Brown-street and Market-street. " Messrs. Milner and Son." The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large Wrought Iron Fireproof (7) chambered Safe, full of valuable Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain nothing but tinder and ashes after it I In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental test:* which Milners' Safes have been exposed to —every description of Safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the scientific and practical authorities who have tested them, and the Patentees' during seven years' active working of their patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the World. lined with their uneaualled Fire-resisting Cham bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Sates in use amongst the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain— the class best able to appreciate their value — numerous cases of exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have preserved its contents unburnt. Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar ling-street, Liverpool ; a stt ong and fierc Fire; Safe most severely burnt outside • contents unsinged. I've at Messrs. J. an d W. Walkers', the exten&ve builders, Birkenhead ; buildings entirely gutted, everythiav burnt i n them, including the contents of large Iron Sam an.. drawers, standing besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' un i n j ure d : and in use now.

Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensive and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving its contents.
