PLEYDELL, Accountant, &c., &c., 1, Dale-street, adjoining the Commercial Bank. Liverpool, May, 1842. JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs patien • 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, &c. from 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. 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 atterapted 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. _ PRINCIPLES OF THE LAWS OF ENGLAND. Just published. Second Edition, with considerable Additions PRINCIPLES of the LAWS OF, ENGLAND in the Various Departments; and also the PRACTICE of the SUPERIOR COURTS : in the Form of Question and Answer ; for the Assistance of ARTICLED CLERKS in preparing for Examination, and incidentally for the Use of Practitioners.

The genuine BOTANIC OIL has an equal claim to pa tronage. Its utility has never been equalled, in renovating and producing a luxuriant growth of Hair. The testimonials are too numerous for an advertisement. In addition to which, the Proprietor begs to observe, during more than twenty years' use, his hair has not suffered the least decline.

Ai.ts by some, but from - dissatisfaction at Satiritewrace,- air masted upon by others. The race was advertised to come off at half-past two, and at that time most of the horses appeared a t t h e post ; but it is easier to get a large field to the post than from it, an d so i t 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 Shrewsbury clock," b e f ore the final start took place. This accomplished, and the horses fairly settled into their places, Combermere took the lead, followed by Attila, Lasso, and Belcceur, 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 lost 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 s t ra i g ht course, the lot behind them consisting of Chatham, Auck land, Seahorse, Policy, and the Agreeable colt,—Robert de Gorham, who had gradually improved his position, lying next. The front rank continued intact to the road, but it wa not so with that behind : Coldrenick bad 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 neat to Auckland ; within a few yards of the distance Com bermere gave up in toto, and fell into the ruck • and imme diately after Attila shot past Belcceur, 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 'Epsom Stakes of 5 sous each, with 35 added ; three-yr olds, 7st 101 b ; four, Bst 111 b ; five, 9st 21b ; six and aged, 9st 61b.

THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has , for nearly a 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 rivants 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 transcendent merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, lint 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.
