B. and P. beg to direct attention to the Certificate of that eminent Chemist, Dr. Fyfe, of Edinburgh, in corroboration of their statement : _ _ _ Brown and Poison's Patent Powder Starch, unequalled for strength and purity, the best and most profitable in the market.—l hereby certify that I have submitted to Chemical investigation the Starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison, of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article; consequently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest Fabrics. grom trials, con ducted with it under my own superintendence, I have found that in Starching it goes much farther than the best kinds of Patent Starch ; that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the Starch, in all its stages, I am satisfied that P&tato Flour is not used in its manufacture. _... _ F.R.S.E., Lecturer on Chemistry.

ELECTRO-SILVER PLATE, IN COMPLETE BREAKFAST AND DINNER SERVICES DROMOLI and HAUSBURG most respectfully an nounce, that they have entered into arrangements with the Patentees for the supply of ELECTRO-SILVER PLATED ARTICLES, and, in enumerating the advantages peculiar to them, solicit the favour of an Inspection of the Stock. They would particularly direct attention o the fol lowing points. The Material cannot be distinguished fro 4 Silver, and will resist all chemical action from vegetable or other sub stances. The brilliant appearance will be preserved many years, merely requiring to be Cleaned by the same method as Sil ver, and the Articles may be Replated, at a very moderate cost, as often as may be required, rendering them equal to new, an operation hitherto found impractiCable. _ _ It is manufactured upon the same principle as Silver, and the Ornamental and, consequently, more prominent parts not being filled with Lead, are not liable to be bruised, or to injury from heat. The distribution of the coating of Silver by the Electrical Process, is perfectly equal in all parts : thus essentially dif fering from the ordinary Plated Goods, on which the Silver, in the projecting and more exposed portions, is impover ished in the manufacture. The Silver employed, being entirely free from alloy, will not so soon tarnish, and is cleaned with much greater facility. Any Article, however varied in form and elaborate in de sign, previously unattainable except at a costly rate, may be produced by this Process, with solid Crests, or other Orna ments that may be desired, exactly similar to the most ex pensive Silver Plate. P. and H. would further observe, that the Prices are ex ceedingly moderate ; and, confident that their statement will be found to be borne out to the fullest extent, trust that their new undertaking will be honoured by the distinguished patronage conferred upon them in other Branches of their Business.

THE Public of Liverpool are respectful) 'formed that arrangements have been made for t xhibition of a much improved CENTRIFUGAL : ILI% AY in the LIVER THEATRE, Church -street, a short time, com mencing on THURSDAY NEXT, ' HA 4th, 1842. The Railway consists of Two Incline 'lanes, and a Circle of between Forty or Fifty Feet in Circumference, rising Four teen or Fifteen Feet Perpendicular from the Floor, making the whole Line Two Hundred Feet in Length. The Car riage descends the Line, passes the Circle, and ascends the other Inclined Plane, travelling at the enormous rate of One Hundred Miles per Hour ! ! Large Iron Weights, and Buckets of Water, glide majestically down the Plane, pass the Circle, and, although completely turned upside down, land without a drop being spilt. A Lady- or Gentleman will be continually in attendance, and will' descend the Line, make the Grand Tour of the Splendid Circle HEAD DOWN MOST, which is the most fearful, daring, and astonishing Feat ever accomplished. There is likewise added to the Exhibition an HYDRAULIC TELEGRAPH, of curious scientific construction, by which means the particulars of any circumstance transpiring in Liverpool may be given in London the same instant of time; in fact, any Gentleman writing in Liverpool it would appear in London the same instant with a fac simile of his own writing.

The famous performing Elephant RAJAH will promenade the Gardens, drawing a splendidly-decorated Car, with the attendants in full Eastern Costume, during the Afternoon. To enliven the Evening's Promenade, MR. STUBBS' ROYAL HARMONIC BAND will perform a favourite selection of Music. The Gardens are Illuminated with beautiful tripod Gas Lamps. THE POLL FOR A SELECT VESTRYMAN.-EX PENSIVE CHARACTER OF A PARISH BUSY BODY! We gave in our last a report of the proceedings of the re cent special meeting of the Select Vestry, at which, in obsti nate opposition to the sense of the parishioners assembled, the name of Mr. Cowgill was proposed by a Mr. BIG HAM (we give the gentleman the benefit of capitals) as an amend ment upon the list agreed upon ; and by that gentleman, when rejected by the meeting, pressed to the decision of a poll. On Monday, pursuant to the usual notice given, the poll was opened, and continued open—for one hour ! when only four ratepayers having voted for Mr. Cowgill, that gentleman was, of course, withdrawn, after no vote had been tendered for him for one hour. The expense to the parish of this factious proceeding will not he less, we are told, than FIFTY POUNDS ; and yet the party by whose obstinacy this sum has been absolutely thrown away, is one of those whose constantly iterated cry is for ECONOMY! A rare thing, truly, is WHIG ECONOMY, and a valuable being is a PARISH MEDDLER! " A FOOL, A FOOL! I MET A FOOL I' THE FOREST." (From the Standard of Saturday.) The encounter between Sir Charles Napier and Mr. Hume, last night, was in the most genuine spirit of farce. For its length it excels any thing ever imagined by Moilere or Beaumarchais, Foote, or Garrick. We tnust reprint it : " Mr. Hume—lt is very easy for the gallant officer to get up and say I know nothing about the matter, but I think that looks much more like the answer of an ignorant man, who knows nothing at all about what he is talking upon. should have thought the hon. and gallant member had had more shots in his locker. (Laughter.) He talks about non sensical returns. Why, he must be a great fool to talk in that way—(" Oh, oh.") He says I moved for uonaensical returns. I know I am a fool—(roars of laughter, during which the hon. member maintained an imperturbable gravity.) lam a fool! (Loud cries of " Agreed, agreed.") But is not a man who supports a fool a greater fool than the fool himself? (Renewed laughter.) Did not the hon. and gallant member support me in four or five divtsions, for the purpose of getting these very same nonsical returns ? Sir C. Napier.—Just to show you were wrong. (Laugh- "Mr. Hume.—Then the hon. member supported him just to show he was wrong. (Hear.) He could tell the hon. and gallant member that he had not properly considered what he said when he said that." Was the member for Montrose sober? The seeming drunken gravity of the last sentence looks more than sus picious. He could tell the hon-[hiccup]-ourable and gal lant [hiccup] member that he did not prop—properly con sider what he [hiccup] said when he said that." It is, however, our duty to disregard appearances, and to assume that Mr. flume was quite sober,—` as sober as a judge,"— when he solemnly pronounced this judicial sentence upon himself,—" I know I am a fool. I am a fool." Yes, the ex-member for Weymouth, Aberdeen, Middlesex, Kilkenny, the present member for Montrose, thus respect fully assures Ins successive constituents that they have sent a fool to represent them in parliament—how properly repro senting.thein it is not for us.to say, and what is more, the whole House of Commons ratifies the dictum by its unani mous and cordial acclamation. Taking the proposition, then, as thus fully confirmed, we most still, in justice to the fool member for Montrose, regard it as what logicians call a model proposition. Mr. Hume, is not altogether a fool, for be is no fool in money matters , as the Greek loan affair sufficiently proves • all his folly is reserved for the 'affairs of the country—" he let's fly all his full stipudity" against the public. Be it so; the public deserves to be the butt of fools, if it longer endure him. VARIETIES VALET. — BoreI, in his glossary, says that the term valet was anciently applied to the Ring's eldest son; and hence the valet or knave follows the King and Queen in a pack of cards. SPREADING AND RAKING.—A Quaker, living in a neigh bouring town, having a son, took him to task one morning respecting his extravagant conduct. " John," said he. looking him in the face seriously, " I'm afraid thou art getting a rake." " Nay, father, thou art wrong," replied the youth, as dry and as unconcerned as could be, " I'ts thee ats t'rake, an I'm a spreading it for thee." DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. —Several alarming instances of the prevailing distress have reached us. Mr. Roebuck was the other day exceedingly distressed, when the St. James's-park keeper stopped him with a parcel of books, and mistook him for the light porter. Mr. Muntz declared that he felt uncommonly distressed—at finding three grey hairs in his whiskers.—Punch. "A DISCERNING PUBLIC."—Never was there a greater farce than to talk of the public thus :—The pubiic is a most unjust, illiberal, led-by-the-nose booby ' • a foolish go ose , without discernment, without sense, without honesty, with out any quality—a proof of which may be found in their support of that great lubberly, ill-conducted, villanous print, the Kentucky Mercury: while this paper, managed with so much taste and discretion, is left to perish for lack of patron age ! " A discerning public," forsooth ? The public is little better than a long-ear'd donkey !—Kentucky rVarder. —[This is plain speaking enough.] Three Israelites have been returned as Deputies to the French Chamber, namely, Crimieux, Cerfbeef, and Achille Fould.— The Voice of pracob. freest.

THROWING STONES AT LORD S ANDON.—James Wyatt , a carpenter out of work, Was, on Thnrsday, charged, at the Queen-square Police-office, with havin g t h rown a s tone at Lorrd Sandon, as that no b leman was leaving his house on Wednesday evening. The magistrate considered him insane , and committed him f or three months, at the end of h nt. time he was to be p ut under restraint. - - Four hundred o f t h e inhabitants.. of the long Island of Harris, which constitutes a middle link in the of the Hebrides, have just emigrated to North America.' interesting Mon APPL AUSE. — SsmueI Bamford, in l hi n s oisTin course and graphic Passages in the Life of a Radiea stood his trial at of publication, states, that after having Great Cha i n classes of Lancashire, he was allowedeueive the judgment of York, and worthily represented and todefadv:dmtihdedlweotoriklionng foot, for London, to surrender to green to him by a shop_ that 81 ton money in his pocket, an empty noto riety He thus moralises on this keeper named John Ogden. character of mob admiration : the Court of King's Bench, with butreceive shilling of Middle striking lesson on the fleeting character t a o nd pu t b h i e ie A young if be feel a little tickled with the may be excused but, whenever I see a grey-headed shouts of adulation ; acc lamations, I set him down as being — apPla S u o se m o u f eh mul fo t r itu t d b e e s. nb"i orator courting such acclamations, hasuzpziarianngt, designing person.

Mr. Eastwood, of course, traverses to next assizes, and thus the thing stands at the present writing. Before closing, we must afford ourselves the pleasure of reiterating the admiration we last week expressed of the undaunted spirit displayed by Mr. Eastwood, under the trying Circumstances of his very peculiar case. g. 17. ester, and :k, G. tofac lurer D.
