"YANG," THE CENTRAL FIRE WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18 years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country men had been duped; and he predicted that, " though Ke shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar; that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop page, to keep the English without tea;" and that " would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CA.PTAIN PIDDING'S ; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING's predic tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG;" the Chinese definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc ceeded Ke-shin. " YANG " has oificisllly recommended " the withholding all tea from the Erkgifsh, until their sup ply is quite exhausted," when he firttels that " they will become reverently submissive, and grie gold for the precious leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the statement that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name. CAPrAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come out whilst bullets pour in, and ;that " teas will be dearer than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he aloneimports, and which they found it impossible to procure, have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against such imposition, the only security is " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME.". This they have not - yet forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package.

February 9th, 1842. jEALTII, ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS, IA but which is too often neglected, or insufficientl appre ciated, will be best preserved or restored by the of that eminent Physician's Pills, Dr. Sydenham, who as justly styled the Father of Modern Medicine. DR. SYDENHAM'S ANTIBILIOUS PERIENT, or FAMILY PILL OF HEALTH, litir y vegetable ; a safe and e ffi cacious Medicine. Indiges , Habitual Cos tiveness, Loss of Appetite, Sick Head4che, Flatulencies, Gout, Spasms, Heartburn, &c. are mdie speedily and effec tually removed than could be credited, but from experience in the use or these valuable Pills. Mild, yet effectual in their operation, being free from calomel, they require no confinement or alteration in diet : moderate exercise in creases their good effects. Two or three pills may be taken at any time when costive or uneasy in the stomach or bowels, and SYDENHAM'S PILLS should be taken by persons of all ages, when in this state, as they assist digestion, correct ex cesses of the table, give a healthy action to the stomach, re move all the complaints to which the digestive organs are subject, and will lead to health and a cheerful old age. The most delicate females, the young and the aged, prefer them to most other aperients, as they are beneficial to their general health, improve their appearance, and by a VEGETABLE Preparation, at once mild, safe, and effectual. The following is an extract from the opinion of an eminent Physician practising extensively at Bristol and Clifton : " Bristol, Park-street, May 29th, 1841. _ " I have examined the composition of Dr. Sydenham's Pills, and consider them as a very valuable remedy in all Complaints to which the Digestive Organs are subject, espe cially Bilious Affections, and an innumerable variety of diseases which are the consequence of the irregular and im perfect action of the organs of digestion. " There is not a possession so enviable, nor a gift so va luable, as that of health ! We deplore its loss, which often, worlds cannot restore to us ! Pain, trouble, misfortune, our great and dreaded enemy, Death himself, stares us in the face when health has departed, and yet there is not a blessing under heaven so neglected, so trifled with, so abused, and so wantonly sacrificed. It therefore would be of no small ad vantage to the Public to take Dr. Sydenham's Vegetable Pills, as being beneficial in all complaints to which the human race are subject, certain in their effects, and calculated to restore and preserve health to tens of thousands of valuable lives.

PROSPECTUS OF TIIE ROYAL WILLIAM SAVINGSzVUND, AND BENEFIT BUILDING SOgrETY Established according to Act of Parliant, Sixth and Seventh William the Firyik. TI.IE popularity which well-conductgr Building Societies have acquired, is of itself a sufficient inducement for an increase in the number. Taking into consideration the safe and profitable invest. meat of small or large sums of money, and the saving h►ebits they inculcate to the humbler classes, it becomes a praise worthy object to offer a facility, by means of a new Society, to piltiCif deStrOug to WWI themselves or the now-proved advantages. and whose means may not enable them to take up Shares in Societies of long standing. Amongst the many noble Institutions for the benefit of the humble and industrious, none have higher claims than Building Societies upon the patronage and support of the wealthy, the influential, and the philanthropic. The ROYAL WILLIAM BUILDING SOCIETY is commenced by a few members of the Liverpool and West Derby, and Lancashire Union Building Societies; and the inducement has been caused by the extraordinary prosperity of these two Societies—the former having been established three-and-a half years, and realised a profit of £3O upon £2l paid ; and the latter, two-and-a-half years, with a profit of Xll upon V. 5 paid. Both these Societies have been conducted in a careful, business-like manner; and as the ROYAL WILLIAM will have the advantage of being managed by several mem bers of both, who are well acquainted with the necessary details, it is hoped this will create a confidence and induce ment to many persons, who may hitherto have been timid and hesitating, to enrol themselves as members, and partake of the advantages now felt and acknowledged by thousands. THE OBJECTS ARE— Ist. To encourage saving habits. 2nd. To enable the Tradesman, Mechanic, or Artisan, who may become a Member, to build or purchase for him self property. 3rd. To enable Members who are already possessed of property encumbered by mortgages or otherwise, to pay off such mortgages or encumbrances. THE PLAN OF PROCEEDINGS IS AS FOLLOWS : Each Person may become a Member on paying Two Shil lings and Sixpence per Share as Entrance Money, and Ten Shillings per month on every Share he may choose to take ; by doing which, he will be entitled to £l2O for each such Share or Shares, at the termination of the Society. The amount of the Subscriptions will, on the day after each monthly meeting of payment, be deposited in a Bank, to be chosen by the Society ; and so often as the Committee may determine, a sale of Shares by ticket will take place, and the highest bidder, after three several biddings among the Mem bers convened at a meeting, (of which previous notice will always be given,) to be declared the purchaser ; and the premium and bidding, given by such purchaser for the prior use of the £l2O on each Share he may so purchase, will go to the funds of the Society, and serve, with the monthly Subscriptions, to form other Shares, to be afterwards suc cessively sold. During the continuance of the Society, a small sum per Share, as interest or redemption money, will have to be paid by each purchaser. THE BENEFITS ARE- Ist. That the Member purchasing Shares from the Society may give mortgage security on property he already possesses, or which he may contemplate buying. 2nd. The Member may build with the money he obtains from the Society, on being the successful bidder; half the amount of the Shares purchased (subject to the decision of the Committee), being advanced to him when the property is covered in, and the remainder when completed. 3rd. The liberality these Societies exercise in their advances upon property, by which the Member borrowing may be en abled to purchase property which he would not otherwise have been able. 4th. The receipt by Members. at the termination of the Society, of double the amount of money actually paid in by them. sth. The almost total absence of risk from loss, dishonesty, or fraud. 6th. The opportunity afforded, for those having 10s. per month to spare, of investing it at great advantage, when such money might otherwise have been spent unprofitably. 7th. The much greater per centage realized in these Soci eties than allowed by Savings Banks. Bth. That in these Societies a borrower is not placed at the mercy or caprice of an individual ; the money borrowed cannot be called in, whereby many serious penalties, in the shape of new mortgage-deeds, &c., are avoided, and per chance, also, the property itself saved from a ruinous sacri fice. 9th. That a Member, making a judicious purchase of pro perty already tenanted, will find, in most cases, the rents nearly, and in some cases quite, sufficient to meet the amount he will have to pay into the Society per month. The foregoing are some of the most striking features of a Building Society and Savings Fund ; and it is presumed the advantages of such Societies must appear so manifest, as to render further observations unnecessary. It will be perceived that the ROYAL WILLIAM SAVINGS FUND AND BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETY is intended to be established on the principle of redemption, from a convic tion that such principle is the more equitable, and better calculated for promoting the general interests of all the Members, than the principle of non-redemption. Numerous advantages have been conferred by Parliament on these Societies, in the saving of stamp-duties and other wise. The PROFITS of these and all other redemption Societies are composed of—lst. Premiums. 2nd. Redemption Money. 3rd. Fines. 4th. Transfer Fees, on sale of Shares by one Member to another. Further information and particulars can be had from the Rules, which will shortly be published. The Provisional Committee will meet every WEDNESDAY Evening, at Eight o'clock, for the admission of Members, at Mr. DICKINSON'S, the Royal William, Pembroke-place, Liverpool. Prospectuses may be had, and every information obtained, on application to Mr. DICKINSON, Royal William ; Mr. BYFORD, Auctioneer, Clayton-square ; Mr. PERRIS, Church-street ; or the Sec. pro tem., K. PARKS, Byrom-street.

The CORDIAL BALM of SY RIACUNI is a gentle sti mulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life is al most subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require ; and partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehen sions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, parti cularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACIi M. Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce, in a considerable degree, all or any of these effects, must be, under certain mo difications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or collate rally, to almost every other; in short, the debility of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent medicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ; its fine rich stimulating balsamic stomach qualities—its purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invigorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become re stored to their proper power and functions. and the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and dura tion, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature decay, to sound and pristine health. As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful effi cacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually remo% ed by its use. . Constitutions relayed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy. Sold in Bottles, price lls. each, or the quantity of four in one Bottle for 335., by which one lie. Bottle is saved. Messrs.

THE WEST INDIAN COLONIES I'o THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD find that, on Friday last, Lord Stanley declared in the Commons' House of Parliament that there was no colour for the reports which were in circulation as to the in tention of the government to propose au extensive system of emigration. Can it be supposed that the . Colonial Secretary i s i gnorant of the distress of the planters in the West Indies, and that, as far as Jamaica is concerned, there are not half-a -dozen estates in the island which, for the last three or four years, have paid the expense of cultivation ? On the contrary, the proprietors have h a d to advance money, some three, five, and even fifteen hundred pounds a year, and this in the ex pectation that some relief would be afforded them by govern ment. If there be any doubt of the truth of this statement respecting the situation of our West India colonies, but more more particularly the island of Jamaica, I am ready to prove it. The noble Secretary for the Colonial Department would, I think, feel rath er aw k war dl y situated if, instead o f re ceiving a princely income from his estates, he was obliged to t . advance money to hi s numerous tenantry. The elevanut the conservative s t o office infused hoes of better time!..,L. unless some efficient and speedy h e lp is afforded, the cult for tion of the sugar cane must be abandoned in jam3tT:t' many estates are already given up, and the others low. With thanks to you, Mr. Editor, for. Sour;obedient advocacy of the West India interest—l remain you J. /3. servant, n t ' ren uou February 10th, 18-12. [We shall not let this subject sleep.
