T4IVERPOOL possesses a commemoration of the greatest Naval Commander of the Nation, but has no Memo rial of her greatest Military Chieftain. To supply this deficiency, a few Gentlemen of Liverpool have associated themselves together, and are now in personal communication with HA YDON, for a PORTRAIT of the DUKE OF WELLINGTON, in connexion with some one of his splendid victories; being satisfied that the Historical Painter who could depict Napoleon in Exile, so as to kindle the admiration and muse of Wordsworth, would not fail to produce an equally enduring Memorial of Napoleon's an tagonist-genius---tie Hero of Waterloo. It is p — roposed to place the Picture permanently in some suitable Building in Liverpool, easy of access to the Public, such as the contemplated St. George's-hall. Books for the N awes of Subscribers are placed at the dif ferent News-rooms and Newspaper-offices, and Subscriptions will be received at all the Banks, by the Members of the Committee, or by Mr. THOMAS WINSTANLEY, Church street, the Treasurer; and to give all classes an opportunity of contributing to this public object, the smallest Subscrip tions will be received.

PROPRIETORS, WA REHOUSE 87, LATE 44, GREAT GEORGE-STREET, Near St. James's Mat ket, Liverpool. MESSRS. PERRY and Co., SURGEONS, may be personally consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night, and on Sundays from Nine till Two, at No. 22, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL, (private entrance first door up the passage ;) No. 2, Bale-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, Gonorrhma, 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 Urines, till at length a general 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 Ils. 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, secresy, 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 cum plate 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 anti 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, nocturne pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and al iseases arising from an impure state of the blood. 2, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL: MONS. LE DRAY, SURGEON-DENTIST, from the Firm of LE DRAY & CO., London. SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED, ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED, - WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL ItIARIVIORATUM. MONS. LE DRAY & CO., Suigeon-Dentists, respectfully Inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that tliev have opened an Establishmeni perma nently at No. 70, S l 4: EL-STREET, eight doors from Berry street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath whichinvaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. 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. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons. Le Dray and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap plication without the slightest pain. Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed front one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following Paris charges : _ A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged Forty Guineas Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

Seeing Blair's Pills advertised for Rheumatism, he applied to me to know if I thought he would be relieved if he took the Pills. I recom mended him to try a box, he bought one, and came the next week to say he felt much relieved, as the swelling of his hand had gone nearly down : he however finished the box, and bought a second, and came this day (March 23, 1838) to say that he had taken the second box of Pills ' and that he was well, free f r o m swe lling, and a bl e t o use his hand as usual. This. Sir, is not the only case of much benefit I have been made acquainted with, reeeived by taking BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS; every week fresh cases of cure and relief come before my notice.

BARKER'S celebrated SPECIFIC, in the form of Pills, is giving daily evidence of its superiority over every other Specific hitherto produced for the cure of the above painful Diseases. No case of Gout resists its effects longer than twenty-four or thirty-hours; and Rheumatism, however severe and protracted, is relieved in three or four days, and generally cured in one or two weeks, while the paroxysms of Tic Douloureux are soon reduced in frequency and severity. This Specific always restores and invigorates the general . health, and never occasions headache, sickness, or bowel complaint,—symptoms that invariably attend the use of every other Specific without exception,—and indicating the presence of Colchicum or Veratrum, two dangerous drugs, which never fail to unde r mi ne th e const i tut i on. Thi s Specific is now prescribed by the first Physicians in Town and Country, and bas been used in several of their families with unerring efficacy. Dr. B.'s pi•Ofessimial reputation in Edinburgh for upwards of thirty years, is a sufficient guarantee to the Public of the value and importance of the Specific. These Pills are prepared by Dr. Barker, Edinburgh, and sold in Boxes at 2s. 9d. each, by all respectable Druggists and Patent Medicine Venders in Liverpool, Chester, War rington, Manchester, Rochdale, Halifax, Leeds, York, Hull, Newcastle, Lancaster, Preston, Dublin, Belfast, &c., and Wholesale by all the Patent Medicine Houses in London, and byJ. and R.

VEGETABLE WEATIIER-PROPHET.—The attention of Sci entific men is just now directed to a curious discovery of Prof. Stiefel—well known tlaroughout•Germany for his N;tu ral Science—the result of which has been the attainment of a more accurate knowledge of those changes to which the atmosphere is subjected, than was possible by the old method. The instruments hitherto in use have been the thermometer and the barometer, but an unerring standard has been con sidered a desideratum; that is said to have been at last sup plied in the shape of Geranium fruit, the awns of which are in and evolved by the dryness or humidity of the atmosphere, in obedience to laws so regular and unvarying, that being fixed upon a dial-plate properly graduated, the change from one part of the room to another may be noted with the great est accuracy. A paper on the subject was to be read at the meeting of German naturalists, held this year at Freybur g Prof. Stiefel is the greatest weather-doctor in southern Ger many, and has fur many years tabulated the changes in th - atmosphere, according to a plan suggested by Goethe ; but he does not venture to predict for more than twenty-four hours at a time, and laughs at our weather-prophets. By observation, he says one may get the rule, but not the excep tion. LACE MADE BY CATERPILLARS.—An extraordinary spe cies of manufacture has been contrived by an officer of engi neers residing at Munich. It consists of lace and veils, with open patterns in them, made entirely by caterpillars. The following is the mode of proceeding adopted :—l-laving made a paste of the leaves of the plant on which the species of ca terpillar he employs feeds, he spreads it thinly over a stone, or other flat substance of the required size. He then, with a camel-hair pencil dipped in olive-oil, draws the pattern be wishes the insects to leave open. This stone is then placed in an inclined position, and a considerable number of the ca terpillars are placed at the bottom. A peculiar species is chosen, which spins a strong web; and the animals commence at the bottom eating and spinning their wa y up to the top, carefully avoiding every part touched by the oil, but devour ing every other part of the paste. The extreme lightness of these veils, combined with some strength, is truly surprising. One of them, measuring 261 by 17 inches, weighed only a grain and a half, a degree of lightness which will appear more strongly by contrast with other fabrics. One square yard of the substance of which these veils are made weighs 41 grains, whilst one square yard of silk gauze weighs 137 1-3rd grains; and one square yard of the finest net weighs 2622 grains. THE BUSH-RorE.—A vine, called by the wood -cutters the bush-rope, on account of its use in hauling out the heaviest timber, has a singular appearance in the forests of Demerara. Sometimes you see it nearly as thick as a man's body, twisted like a cork-screw round the tallest trees, and rearing its head above their tops. At other times, three or four of them, like strands in a cable, join tree and tree, and branch and branch together. Others, descending from on high, take root as soon as their extremity touches the ground, and ap pear like shrouds and stays, supporting the mainmast of a line of battleship; while others, seeding out parallel, oblique, horizontal, and perpendicular shoots, in all directions, put you in mind of what travellers call a matted forest. Often times a tree, above a hundred feet in height, uprooted by the whirlwind, is stopped in its fall by these amazin g cables of nature; and hence it is that y ou account f or the phnomenon of seeing trees, not only vegetating,. but sending forth vino rous shoots, though far from their perpendicular, and their trunks inclined to every degree from the meridian to the ho rizon. Their head.emain firmly supported by the bush rope; many of their roots soon refix themselves in the earth, and frequently a strong shoot will sprout out perpendicularly from near the root of the reclined trunk, and in time become a fine tree.—{f aterton's IVanderings in South America. WAVERLEY ANCSCRIPTS.—We lately had the pleasare of looking over the original ,manuscripts of the Waverley Novels, which have been repurchased from various parties, and are now in the safe keeping of Mr. Cadell, publisher, Edinburgh. They form a long file of quarto volumes, hand somely bound in Russia leather. They are accompanied by the original manuscripts of the " Lady of the Lake," and some other of the poems. So vast a series of original com positions—full of brilliant creative genius —has certainly not issued from one man's brain since Shakspeare threw oil; successively, his thirty-seven plays, apparently with the same ease that a tree resigns its leaves to the wind, Sir Walter Scott wrote a careless, but free and regular hand. His novels are written on large quarto post paper, on one side only, (as authors generally do for the accommodation of the printer,) and each page is crammed from tcp to bottom, and side to side. Leaf follows leaf, througa quires and reams of paper, with only a slight verbal correction or inter lineation here and there! His intellect seems at once to have embodied itself in suitable language, and he poured out himself on paper with the same facility that a man en gages in conversation, or pens an ordinarY letter. Sir Waly ter, it is known, read over and revised the whole of eas novels, preparatory to their republication in their latest form, in monthly volumes. For this Purpose he had a copy .of each work interleaved: and this goodly array of volumes is also in the possession of Mr. Cadell. Sir. Walter appears to have bestowed considerable pains on this last duty to his numerous offspring : he altered words, improved the phraseo logy, corrected his quotations, and occasionally heightened and improved the dialogue. Some of the smaller fry of critics used to ridicule the author of Waverley for his Scot ticisms—such as saving that one man inquired at another, instead of inquiring of him, Sir Walter made the only sensible use of these criticisms : he quietly drew his pen through the "at" and substituted "of." No Scottish author, with the single exception, perhaps, of Dr. Beattie, ever fairly got rid of these little peculiarities of style and expression which betray his origin; but few or none could be more in different about the matter than Sir Walter Scott. He looked to the general effect ---to the grouping of incidents —and to the delineation of character and passion, leaving' the lan guage to shift for itself. The world was content to take the words as they came. The press was always calling to him for manuscript; and the prospect of a new wing to Abbotsford, or the payment of another thousand pounds, spurred him on in his almost superhuman career. Alas ! that he should have taxed himself beyond the strength and endurance of frail humanity ! We may add, that the Waverley Manu scripts are kept in a tine Gothic cabinet of oak, which Mr. Cadell ha s had made for that purpose; and, if no accident intervene, future ages will, undoubtedly, look upon this ark Of genius with wonder and delight.—inverneu Courier. I)ROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HRB E PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and title disorders arising from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STI{EET, 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 affections, 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 more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hygeian Herb Pills root 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 nnrany other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, 1 iss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete C ire, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he 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, from 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 properties are su c h that neither heat nor co ld w ill injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE. Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by return, and Medicines punctually,transmitted to any ad dress either by initials or name. No. 42. SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

Extract of a letter from Sir Benjamin C. Brodie, Bart., Surgeon to the Queen, directed to Mr. Thomas Holloway for F. Albinolo. London, 14, Saville-row, June 19th, 1837. "Sir,—l have made several trials of the Ointment which you sent me. I have found it useful in some instances; I am more inclined to employ those of which I know the composition, than I am to employ Signor Albinolo's Oint ment, the composition of which you have not informed me. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant. (Si g ned) " B. C. BRODIE " By Herbert Mayo. Esq., F.R.S., Senior Surgeon to Middle sex Hospital, Professor of Anatomy and Pathology to the King's College, London, &c., directed to Mr. Thomas Holloway, for F. Albinolo.

I have enough for the present. (Signed) "H. MAYO. "Middlesex Hospital, April 9, 1&37." By Herbert Mayo, Esq., F.R.S., &c. Sir,—l am much obliged to you for your polite offer to send me more of the ointment which I tried at Mr. Hollo way's request. I really have kept no note of its effects be yond what my communication to Mr. Holloway contained. In a few cases of skin disease it was serviceable. The best case I had of its efficacy was one of scrofulous tubercles, on the face of a child, which mended rapidly with it.-19, George street, August 29, 1837. 1 a m.. &c., _ _ (Signed) " HERBERT MAYO."

" Sir,—A few days ago, a gentleman, a friend of mine, was mentioning the distressing state in which his eldest son's head was placed by an obstinate ring-worm, which baffled all surgical aid. I recommended him to try your Ointment, which I had seen advertised in the "Monthly Magazine." Ile followed my advice, and in three days (after as many ap plications) his son's head was perfectly cured. If it be necessary, I can procure the testimonial of the gentleman above alluded to.

The Sole Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas, is Capt. JOHN RHODES PIDDING, (late Commander of the Hon. Company's ship Thames, of 1400 tons.) Captain Pidding having made EIGHT VOYAGES to CHINA, embraced the opportunity, when at Canton, of securing to himself the exclusive importation of these Teas; and he sup plies them to the Public, through ONE Agent in each town. GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 86, Bold-street, SOLE AGENT for LIVERPOOL. In an action brought by Capt. Pidding, against a person who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved before the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. William Styan, an eminent Broker, of 27 years' experience, employed to test the merits of tbese Teas, " That Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE' is a tea of a peculiar flavor, and composed of many varieties of black teas, all of the finest quality; that it has a character peculiar itself —A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And "That 4 HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun powder 'lea of the very finest quality, and that such tea could not be bought in the market. "W. Styan I"Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lan e , this Bth day of May, 1837, before me. - , " Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR. It was also proved on oath, that Captain ridding's Teas were supplied for the Royal Use. Dr. Johnson, late physician to Geo. IV. considers this th e best of Teas, and uses no o th er . As Author of "The Eco nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluabl e: h e wr it es thus:— " .Nov. 22, 1837. " SlR,—Ever since your Howqua's Mixture' Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, &c. "'l'o Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. Its superior excellence is further proved, by G. Sigmond, M.D., F.L S., &c., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on the 14th of November, before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated—" The Hong Merchants used not generally to deliver for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It was proved by the fact that since the opening of the trade new varieties had been brought to England, and, in particular, a tea under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly prized, and the Howqua's Mixture' bas now become "A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY." It is i mpossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good quality. These Teas consist of " HOWQUA'S MIXTURE" (black tea), at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the catty package. " HOWQuA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 74d. per lh., is 11S. 6d. the catty package. Each package contains I lb. and one. third nett of tea. C A UTION !—The names of C. VERIIRY, 218, Regent-street, and 'l'.
