THIS unique and necTaTrious Yiqueur 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 vivants 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, _ _ but 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 preduce 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, improver by age. LE GRAND GOURMAND wilt find it a most social companion to hia Calepaah and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. Come and try, Don't like—don't buy, is an old saying and a good one ra;ti as ; in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind. Sold, at 245. per dozen in pint bottles, and 425. per dozen in quarts, by B. HARAM, Wine, Spirit, Ale, and Porter Merchant, 42, Chapel- street, w h o i s appointed SOLE AGENT or the counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Staffordshire, by Mr. Hudson, of Chichester, the Manufacturer of Milk Punch to the Queen, by appointment.

A NETV DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH, FIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES. SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And Filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Succedaneuni, Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, Surgeon Dentists, respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Esta blishment, permanently, at No. 23, RODNEY-STREET , opposite Leece-street, where, Mons. Mallan may be consulted DAILY throughout the year. They continue to fill up the cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Succedaneum, 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 Mineral 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 which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are 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 it is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive com plaint by a single application, with the slightest pain. _Mons. MALLAN begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and with con fidence guarant ee th em to answer every purpose o f Nlasticu• tion and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest They ne v e r c h ange co l our or b rea k, as th ose n ow oubsesderv, are fixed fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un el as requirega n v t e theodoursu pp o extractionr or t anunnaturaldo of preserver o gloss t s T o o e s r e s t . a hn ythatThis painful methare olloose, ea dt:oaoetns and e o i dd t wi and moderate.qarges. 0—• Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

WALES PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS JJ. PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs • particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS iS pe culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted 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. Prepared and sold only by Jous PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at Is. 6d. each. 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 London wir■lnimmnarazicimm==aaoseuaii=vs, 'THE EPITAPH of MARGERY SCOTT, in the Parish 1.

FEARFUL POSITION IN TRAVELLING ON THE ICE.—After driving only three wersts, we found our old track completely obliterated by fresh hummocks and fissures, which rendered our advance so difficult that we were at last forced to abandon a part of the stores which we carried. After toiling on for two wersts more, we found ourselves completely surrounded by lanes of water, opening mote and more, until, to the west, the sea appeared completely open with floating ice, and dark vapours ascending from it obscured the whole horizon. To the south we still saw what appeared a plain of ice ; but it consisted only of larger fragments, and even these we could not reach, as we were separated from them by a wide space of water. Thus cut off on every side, we awaited the night with anxiety ; happily for us, both the sea and the air were calm, and this circumstance, and the expectation of a night frost, gave us hope. During the night, a gentle breeze sprung up from the W.N.W. and gradually impelled the ice-island on which we were towards the east, and nearer to the larger surface before mentioned. In order to get over the remaining space, we hooked with poles the smaller pieces of ice which floated about, and formed with them akind of bridge which the night frost cemented sufficiently to admit of our crossi ng over before sunrise on the 26th. We had hardly proceeded one werst when we found ourselves in a fresh labyrinth of lanes of water, which hemmed us in on every side. As all the floating pieces around us were smaller than the one on which we stood, which was 75 fathoms across, and as we saw many certain indications of an approaching storm, I thought it better to remain on the larger mass, which offered us somewhat more security ; and thus we waited quietly whatever Providence should decree. Dark clouds now rose from the west, and the whole atmosphere became filled with a damp vapour. A. strong breeze suddenly sprung up from the west, and in creased in less than half-an-hour to a storm. Every moment huge masses of ice around us were dashed against each other, and broken into a thousand fragments. Our little party remained fast on our ice island, which was tossed to and fro by the waves ; we gazed in most painful inactivity on the wild conflict of the elements, expecting every moment to be swallowed up. We had been three long hours in this position ; and still the mass of ice beneath us held together, when suddenly it was caught by the storm, and hurled against a large field of ice ; the crash was terrific, and the mass beneath us was shattered into fragments. At that dreadful moment, when escape seemed impossible, the im pulse of self-preservation implanted in every living being saved us. Instinctively we all sprang at once on the sledges, and urged the dogs to their full speed ; they flew across the yielding fragments to the field on which we had been stranded, and safely reached a part of it of firmer character, on which were several hummocks, and where the dogs im mediately ceased running, conscious, apparently, that the danger was passed. We were saved ; we joyfully embraced each other, and united in thanks to God for our,preserya tion from such immi nen t p er il—V on W ran gell's lapedttton to the Polar Seas. RICE CULTURE' IN CHINA.—Rice is cultivated in a soil covered with water, or, in different words, in mud, well pre pared by stirring and manure for its r eception. In the early part of the year a fertile spot of ground iscahnd. osen, A in ft t e o r N,; t which the seed is poured with an uns paring hand. germinated and the sprouts have obtained a length of about six inches, it is dug up and parted into tufts for transplant ing. These plants are set in lines, at proper intervals from each other, by the hands of workmen, who execute their busi ness with great despatch and adroitness. The bed into which these are thrust consist, as we have in t imated, of soil well mixed and covered with water. In the labour of bringing the ground to this state, the buffalo performs no unimportant part, as he draws a plough of ru d e and original mechanism, in many a tedious bout, from one side of the field to the other. Th e plough stirs up and parts the sluggish glebe. while the feet of the animal assist no t a li ttle in its subacting: and i n its incorporation with the water. The wading in mud from morn to noon, and f rom noon to dewy eve, is not a work for which either our horse or our ox is calculated, as those know who are f am ili ar with the history and habits of these invaluable animals. But the buffalo, the scaler-trine of the Chinese, i s " i n hi s element " while at' this work ; and therefore takes pleasure in what the horse or the beeve would feel pain and inconvenience. How nicely, then, has God adapted the disposition of the animal for the nature of the work for which it is required ! Foreknowledge, acting upon a system, is seen from the beginning to the end. The streams of water tumbling down the deep ravines and dells, sweep large quantities of earth with them, which is deposited at the bottom of some withdrawing nook, and, through the accp ululating force of time, produces a wide-spread alluvium for the fields of rice. The ground is appropriated by the perse • verance of man, laid out in numerous plots by means of banks and terraces, and then, as the water still continues to descend, a stone is always at hand for a copious irrigation. To help him in the work, the buffalo comes to his aid, w i t h a strength of body and a peculiarity of instict or habitude that axactly fit him for it.--Loudon Saturday Jcurnal.

EDUCATION THE ATTENTION of Parents desirous of affording to their Children an Education in accordance tfith the increased: intelligence and the wants of the age, ji directed to an Establishment situated in one of the most' fertile and healthy counties of England, conducted by a Gintleman who is a member of a German University of the Wiliest celebrity, and of several learned bodies. The Coursciof Instruction, founded on the most approved systems, comprehends the GREEK and LATIN CLASSICS, the FRENCH, GER MAN, anl ITALIAN LANGUAGES, TAUGHT BY NA TIVES RESIDING IN THE HOUSE ; the Elements of ASTRO NOMY, the various Branches of Pure and Mixed MATHE MATICS, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, &c. Impressed with a conviction that no Education can be complete without an adequate knowledge of modern Lan guages, the Principal has made them an essential branch of Instruction in his School. Having himself resided many years on the Continent, and travelled much, he is intimately acquainted with the chief Languages of Europe, and enabled to superintend Instruction in this important department of knowledge with no inconsiderable advantage to his Pupils. Altogether, this Establishment will be - found to afford to Pupils possessing average talents the certainty of receiving in it a sound Classical and Mathematical Education, together with the most assiduous Instruction in the principal Lan guages of Europe; so that, on entering one of our Universi ties, or some Profession, civil, military, or naval, they may be competent to engage in more enlarged studies, with un usual advantages._ Letters to the Principal of Albion House School, Wor. cester, will receive immediate attention.

THE heartrending distress and persecutions to which the unpaid British auxiliaries have been exposed from four to six years, whilst attempting to recover their arrears of pay, after having effectually assisted to place the Queen of Portugal on her throne, and to prevent the Queen of Spain from being dethroned, has led the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor of London, and the four following bankers as senting to receive subscriptions in their behalf—Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, Lombard-sereet ; Messrs. Drum mond and Co., Charing-cross ; Sir Maude Scott and Co., Cavendish-square ; London and County Bank, il, Lombard street. Some idea may be formed of the sufferings which have been and are still being endured, when it is considered that from £500,009 to £600,000 are due to the claimants. It is earnestly hoped that the British people, so ready at all times to sympathise with the distress of foreigners, will not be behind-hand on the present occasion in coming to the rescue of their own countrymen, the victims of treachery and fraud, after having generously expended their resources and risked their lives in the cause of freedom and humanity. It is confidently expected if public sympathy responds gene rously to this appeal, that the claimants will not only receive temporary relief, but will succeed in ultimately obtaining the most ample redress.

AT a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the EL DERS of the HEBREW CONGREGATION of LI VERPOOL, held at the OLD SYNAGOGUE CHAMBERS, Frederick -street. on TUESDAY, the 30th June, 1840, con vened for the purpose of taking into consideration the Pro ceedings of the Board of Deputies of British /Jews, in London, on the subject of the Persecution of the Jews in the East, E. S. YATES, Esq., Sen. Warden, in the Chair, The several Communications and Documents, received from the Board of Deputies, as well as the Resolutions of the General Meeting, held in London, on the 23d instant, having been read, It was resolved unanimously, That, from the information - conveyed in the documents now read, this Meeting learns with feelings of theA/knest regret, that the Jews, at Damascus, have suffered as* es~of heartrending acts of oppression and torture, in consequence of most false and wicked charges promulgated against them— charges at once improbable in their nature, and at variance with the fundamental principles of our Holy Religion. That, placing a full reliance on the unerring wisdom of Divine Providence for protection to the Innocent, it is, ne- Vertheless, the duty of every friend of humanity in the civilized world, to sympathise in the afflictions of our brethren in the East; and, in the endeavour to rescue them from the fangs of the ,oppressor, to obtain indemnity for the past and secu rity for the future. • That, with these sentiments, this Meeting hails with heartfelt satisfaction the prompt and energetic measures adopted by the Board of Deputies of British Jews in London, as well as by the General Meeting of the various Congrega tions held there on the 23d in s t an t. , That this Meeting considers ihe 'selection of Sir Moses Montefiore to represent the British Jews at Alexandria most judicious ; and, impressed with a lively sense of the devotion and zeal which has actuated him to accept so important and onerous a trust, record their grateful acknowledgments to him, and offer their fervent prayer to Almighty God for his protection, and a successful accomplishment of his mission. That the Members now assembled do cheerfully co-operate with their fellow Religionists in the measures needful for carrying out the great objects in view ; and, i n f ur th erance thereof, resolve, that a Subscription be forthwith commenced, and invite all the Members of the Congregation to aid the general fund by their contributions. That this Meeting warmly concurs with the London Con gregation in their expression of thanks to their fellow-coun trymen of every denomination of faith, for th e sympathy evinced in our cause, and the cause of suffering humanity. That a copy of these Resolutions, signed by the Wardens, on behalf of the Meeting, be forwarded to Sir Moses Monte fiore, President tof th e Board of Deputies, in London, with a remittance of he amount subscribed. (Signed) ELLIS S. YATES Resolved unanimously Sen. Warde That the warmest thank's' are due, and hereby offered, to the Sen. Warden, for his promptitude in convening this Meeting, and for his impartial conduct in the Chair. D. W. MARKS, Secretary THE SHRIEVALTY OF LONDON (Prom the Morning Herald of yesterday) At nine o'clock the supporters of Mr. Galloway began to poll briskly ; but at no period of the day did the polling for him at all appear to be formidable. Mr. H. Pritchard, the edtpinon jravp, on the Tart of Mr_ nallnway, a written notice, that all votes for Mr. Farncomb were of no avail, as that gentleman was ineligible, not being free of the city. At two o'clock the polling ceased, when, according to the judgment of seven gentlemen who kept regular ac counts of the votes, the numbers were— For Mr. Gibbs (C.) Mr.Farncomb (C.) Galloway (R.) 697 Mr. Potter, the secondary, then adjourned the hall till this day, when the poll-books will be examined. The return will be made on Friday to the Court of Aldermen. We believe that it is the intention of the friends of Mr. Galloway to make a formal protest against the return of Mr. Farncomb, upon the ground that that candidate was not a freeman of the city when he was put in nomination by the Lord Mayor, and to demand that Mr. Galloway should be returned with Alderman Gibbs. Those who support Mr. Galloway contend, that if the Court of Aldermen refuse to accept of the substitution of Mr. Galloway for Mr. Farncomb, they will be compellable by a mandamus from the Court of Queen's Bench ; while the friends of Mr. Farncomb are of opinion that should there be any weight in the objection made to the return of that gentleman, the whole affair must come before the public in the shape of a new election. We have reason to know that if the declaration made by Mr. Galloway on the day of nomination that he could not serve with an alderman, had been supposed to be insincere, the majority in favour of Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Farn comb would have been upon the second day's polling so great that a very decisive retreat would have been accomplished upon the part of the " liberal" candidate. It is said that Mr. Farncomb had his reasons for not be coming a freeman. The fact is that if by any chance Mr. Galloway's and his names had been above the other names on the poll, Mr. Farncomb could, if he disliked the associa tion, at once get rid of the obligation to serve, without pay ing the fine, by pleading that be was not free. It is said that the opinions entertained by the law autho rities of the City are conflicting upon the subject. Some think that Mr. Farncomb, not being a feeman, becomes a nonentity in the election, and that Mr. Galloway must be returned with Alderman Gibbs ; while others declare that by all the laws of shrievalty elections if the objection to the return of Mr. Farncomb be considered valid by the Court of Aldermen, the livery must do their work again. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TUESDAY IMPORT OF BASE COPPER MONEY. A respectable looking man was placed at the bar, charged with having brought from Ireland nine stone of penny pieces. An officer of the customs said, that he had that morning boarded the steamer Ballinasloc, from Dublin. He examined the luggage of the passengers as usual, for the purpose of dis covering whether there was any smuggled spirits on board. In a box belonging to the prisoner he found a large bag, which on opening, he found to be full of base coins, repre senting penny pieces. He thought it his duty to seize the copper, and on the arrival of the vessel at the pier he gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Dowling said, the pennies were of that description usually brought from Ireland, with here and there a token amongst them. He wished the prisoner to be remanded in order that the money might be sorted. The prisoner said, he hid purchased the copper in Ireland, for fivepence per pound. He had brought parcels of it to England before, and he sold it for old copper receiving for it eightpence per pound. The prisoner was remanded in order that the copper might be sorted, and that the opinion of the mint might be taken as to the propriety of prosecuting him. nrsoanEßLY CONDUCT. A dissipated looking fellow, whose name did not transpire, was placed at the bar, charged by police-officer Bishop, with having, on the preceding night, behaved in a very riotous manner in St. Vincent -street. Bishop said the prisoner had no ostensible occupation. He lived with prostitutes, and was the companion of thieves, and was always the most troublesome fellow in the district where he took up his residence. ' On the preceding night he was slightly intoxicated, and was fighting in St. Andrew-street, when he (Bishop) went there for the purpose of putting an end to the disturbance. The prisoner, however, according to his usual practise, ran off and concealed himself in a cellar, so that he could not get at him. Soon after his departure, another disturbance arose, and upon again going, he found that the prisoner was again the offender, but again he had managed to st ea l away b e f ore his arrival.: This occurred again and again. The moment the officer left the street the prisoner was out abusing some female who was passing, and the moment the officer appeared he retreated, and " took earth." "At length," said Bishop, " I stole upon him on the sly, and took him to bridewell.' Margaret Thompson, and two other females, on whom the prisoner had committed unprovoked assaults, appeared against him and gave evidence to that effect. Bishop said, as he was taking the prisoner to bridewell, the latter presented him with a shilling as a bribe to let hin escape. The prisoner endeavoured to excuse himself by saying that he was tipsy, and did not know exactly what he was doing . It appeared, however that though he had h a d some drink, he . was not much intoxicated. _ Mr. Rushton said the prisoner was liable to a fine of £2O for attempting to bribe the officer. For the assaults, he was ordered to pay a fine of £5, or in default of payment, to be imprisoned two months.
