Further information given at the Company'n Office, 24, Water-street. SAMUEL PERRY. Agent. SMOKE NUISANCE I'ILjR. JOSEPH WILLIAMS, of 67, Belford-street, kVA. Toxteth-park, near Liverpool, has the authority of Sir John Barrow, Baronet, the Secretary to the Admiralty, for announcing to the Public that the PATENT APPARATUS (Andrew Kurtz's Patent) for the COMBUSTION of SMOKE and saving of COAL, attached to Her Majesty's Steam Packet Urgent, Lieutenant Emerson, U.N., Com mander, after being in use for six months on the Post office Station between Liverpool and Dublin, is found to answer in every respect, and in the six months the saving of Coals upon the Urgent has been about 408 tons, as per amended report. The Apparatus is simple in its construction, and is equally adapted for Land and Marine Engines. The Patentees have forborne pressing their invention upon the Public, until its merits could be ascertained by adequate trial. This it has undergone upon a large vessel plying in the channel throughout the winter months, and they, therefore, now feel warranted in inviting the attention to it of all persons anxious for the removal of the nuisance of Smoke from Steam Engines. To those who are concerned in Steam Navigation it may not be unseasonable to mention, that with this Appa ratus a Steam Vessel going before the wind has no occasion to open her Furnace Doors, or to alter her course in order to keep a look-out ahead; having no longer a cloud of smoke hanging over the bows, she can keep her course without slackening her speed. _ _ _ V For terms and particulars application - may be made to Mr. Joseph Williatns, 67, Bedford-street, Toxteth-park, near Liverpool ; to Mr. Wilson Haselden, Woodside Ferry, Che shire; to Mr. John Bewley, Accountant, Brunswick-street, or to Messrs. Lowndes, Robinson, and I3ateson, Solicitors, Liverpool. This is to certify that we have had the Patent Smoking Apparatus of Joseph Williams and Co., 67, Bedford-street, Toxteth-park, in operation at the Saw Mills belonging to Duncan Gibb, Esq., for the last three months, and we con sider it to be a very great saving, (at least one-third,) in the consumption of Coals, and the nuisance from Smoke, which was so greatly complained of in the neighbourhood, is now completely removed. The Apparatus, which is upon the principle of Hot Air, (of the superiority of which over Cold Air we are satisfied, from ample experience,) is simple and easily constructed and kept in order, and we can strongly recommend it to any party who has a Boiler in use.

LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the liberal patronage he has received for so many years, and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted upon them under the various denominations of BEST PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH," " PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-FACED STARCH," " SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &C. These invariably disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as his make ; and he begs further to caution them against pur chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be distinguished from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when exposed to the atmosphere. It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr. HALL took out a Patent for his invention before Ile brought the article to the perfection for general use to which it has now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the case, their premises and situation would not be suitable. Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully requested to ask for HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH. No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it. Wholesale Agents, J. and R. RAIMES and Co., Edinburgh. Sold as usual by all respectable Grocers and Italian Warehousemen, &c. in the Kingdom. PATENT STARCH WORKS, SANDIACRE, near Nottingham. Such has been the success of " THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE" that it has already a sale far beyond any contemporary of a like character—a sale which has gone on progressively increasing from the commencement. This fact, gratifying as it is from the Proprietors, will only stimu late them to further exertions ; AND THEY, THEREFORE, MERELY REFER TO THE PAST AS AN EARNEST OF THE F,UTURE, and announce for the information of the public generally the nature of the Publication. THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE is, in the first place, a weekly record of everything that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or Garden Botany, and such Natural History as has relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all works of importance on such subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GARDENING OPERATIONS given in great detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life ; so that the Cottager with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Ma nager of extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of the routine of operations which the varying seasons render necessary. It moreover contains very extensive Foreign and Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural subjects— Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings at home and abroad—Notices of Novelties and Improvements— in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession, benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his employer, all accompanied with Woodcuts, whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illus tration. Replies to all questions connected with the object of the Paper are also given weekly in great detail. And al though the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural Journal, yet it contains full Reports of the Proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society, and much valuable informa tion upon the more interesting subjects of discussion in this branch of inquiry. IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and political News is introduced which is uittolly found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them selves under the banners of any party ; their earnest endea vours are to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a full and comprehensive Record of Facts only—a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own conclusion and opinions : their object being the elucidation and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR FEATURE OF THE JOdRNAL, with such a variety of informa tion concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the ne cessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly London Paper. Each year commences a new Volume, and is complete in itself. A Prospectus, with List of Contributors, may be had on application, or by letter, at the Office, 3, Charles-street, Covent-garden, London. Parties intending to commence with the New Volume had better give their orders at once to any Newsvendor. pttu lattbitrations.

His long experience in the business he submits as s guarantee for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may have occasion to purchase, that the practice too frequently adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by un skilled artificers, is in many cases attended with an immenss pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious loss eventually, from inattention to the material by the manufac turer.

PYER, Confectioner, 32, Great Homer-street, fur Everton and Kirkdale. CI..k.PTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only of Black and one of Green. The Black is a mixture of Forty different kinds of rare Black Teas, remarkable for their great strength, delicious flavour, and natural aroma. This natural aroma of the Tea being completely preserved in the Packages in which it is imported. The Green is Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea of the finest kind, and is grown only on one Estate. Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China, completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas. Extract from Dr. Sigmond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's Tea before the Med. Bot. Society. " This particular Tea has been very much and very de servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this Country." (From Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late Majesty, &c.) " Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London. " Sir,—Ever since your 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., " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. "ITo Captain Pidding." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's." or some other spurious 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. Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the Black, at the rate of 6s. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s. per lb. • Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter Catty Of Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound of the commonest Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's directions given on each package.

The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle stimulant 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 almost 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 appre hensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co., Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM. 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 hack 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 modifications 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 collaterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility or nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent me dicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ; its fine," rich, !stimulating balsamic stomachic qualities—its purification of the blood—and, above all. the complete invi gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become restored to their proper power and functions, and the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and duration, 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 efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, a w sth l m , e a r s e , an d consumptive habits are soon relieved , and speedily cured. Poverty of blood , and emac iated lim bs , will, long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fl u id will become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy.
