GENUINE DRUGS AND CHEMICALS. PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs par e • ticularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the under-mentioned selection of Preparations : PRIESTLEY'S CONDENSED ANTI BILIOUS ANTACID SOLUTION OF MAGNESIA. The PROPRIETOR has at length by Chemical' aid, suc ceeded in forming a Solution of that admiral medicine perfectly free from all extraneous matter lhich Magnesia, in a state of ponder, contains. This Solution is particu larly recommended to correct Bile an Acidity; for In digestion and Sea Sickness, Gout, and Red Gravel. To persons having resided in hot climates it is invaluable. Sold in Bottles, Is. and 2s. 6d. ; or Family Bottles, containing two half-crown Bottles, 4s. 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 accuracy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years att, mpted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agre,able flavour nor the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, and make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for exporta tion, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. PRIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Properties of Sarsparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great incon venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keep ing in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much-esteemed - Medicine. two teaspoonfuls of this Extract, put into a wine-glass full of water, makes a preparation equal to half a pint of the Compound Decoction as prescribed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharamacopoelas. 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 di seased state of the system at large ; for removing Blotches, Pimples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has no sipe rior. The extensive use and high reputation of this prepara tion has led to numerous imitations. VEGETABLE HAIR OIL, Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nourishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beautiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar softness of texture and luxuriant a%pearance. Sold in Bottles at Is. 3d. and 3s. each. VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to arrive at that precise and accurate knowledge of the facts, that would warrant us in expressing a definite opi nion on the respective merits of the pleas of the contend. ing parties--the one for an advance of wages, and the other in resistance to the demand. Neither can the final result of the struggle be yet predicted, though it is probable (judging by analogy from former strikes of a similar nature) that the masters will hold out, or submit to a small advance only. In reference to the present aspect of the struggle, we may say that the deter mination which the colliers appear to have come to about a fortnight ago, to remain out at all hazards until April, has to a certain extent given way ; the point beyond which the endurance of privation cannot be stretched has nearly t a l r u riv mb ed er , l a ) a n v d e f r r e o t m o r s o t e e d r n t on their e e i s r s i w t y o a r k n d a t w t a h n e t , o a l d considerablewages, it is fully expected by persons conversant with their con dtition f t h t i e a m fortnight e rthey whowill aall to to th le c a ir ve n:a: i t l e l r n s o b t y be ta r k e i o n e g iv a ed n a a od t c ffi m a de t t o ei i or o ve n y tth p a o he a n f ei r drm t t h sis il e n errlo w vv i sneiopedsteekucsosc.tbis in that othersobnoxious neighbourhood, but may re ceive some support from the rest. Those that have gone back hare been required to give up their tickets of mem bership in the union. By this partial resumption of work, the numbers out, which were, we are informed, originally upwards of 5.000, are reduced to about 3,000, and the latter number will probably be daily diminished. Though, however, the men have so far turned in, they persist on sent out o t oi n h tn ht e g aepdba d ofor i mot s oli pelt, following obtaining iew: o " o t t h a e brows fe s tt b htn e e i o n pr g iet d ,t a ha i an l daily cleared ," eiislfetashor the sold ' o ' ans o t ret the masters in as ra other emiencdi w ai nyoersddhsat,ol shall that re sist this system, they cannot as yet take any steps to pre ventwthheart statede it v , er as e t xi h ot e e, y nv have telilt m informeda n y o a s t t present quartersre e k s s en o t n bhetahnadt. carried, hAe will i tl t in i b s i yn f , t introo th meanser willv lbvee i a a nre, fi g vr e n imst n a ltil e l dhradsra o e l l ve t ui t egtol mronAtueotnpoptrt prevent in an nual —o a a t namurrolngasgtretherenments terminate in April, is certain. These w agreements with the men are made from spring to spring, commencing, we believe, on or about the Ist of May, and parochial settlement) 11 or months. Already the miners in the north of England and in Scotland are pre paring for the general struggle, and how it will end (we repeat) remains to be seen. At some of the collieries a small number of hands have continued at work, but the e rm about being tl e n ; ongf monthsot yhreeat quantity of coals raised has fallen far short of the demand closing th e t in and about the district, and the want of them has caused partial suspension in some of the manufactories and other Feb. 20, 1844. vocations, with a proportionate want of employrne oa amongst many of th e h an d s . A u a d vance o f wages to small extent had been given previous to the strike at a ll the collieries in the neighbourhood hut one; but the tee% notwithstanding, a ll turne d out, some coals having bee supplied to the c us t omers o f t h at one work b y the °the' , masters, who, it appears, have a sort of protective al: ciation and und ers t an di ng amongst themselves.

At Blackbrook colliery (Messrs. Bromilow Brothers 7 a few are employed. At Eccles' and Stock's Ashton COv . lieries there has been no turn out. At Stanley coll ier) ; (John Stock a n d B rot h ers ) , t h ree parts out of four, if n°, more of the me n h ave returne d At Rushy Par k ( sa me proprietors), abo u t h a lf th e h an d s have gone in, and thereabout 40 to ns o f coa l s are ra i sed daily. At the Grov el !' the men are still ou t. A t E cc l eston pits (also B ro w" low's), some f ew h ave gone i n. At Windle (saute pro prietary), the hand s did not turn out at all. From the co mmencement of the disagreement, both parties have put forth statements and appeals to the Pu in the form of placards, the masters urging that the urea received high wages , w i t h a prospect of an increase , ; , ' that the t urn - out was altogether unjustifiable—and men meeting these assertions by counter statements, dying that the amounts alleged—with the deductions ' be mad e f or d rawers, candles, and tools—arc actually re ceived. Th e mas t ers recently published a refutation o f some statement s p u bli s h e d b y the men, which were foal' to be in general circulation in St. Helens on Saturday" and they are not yet publicly contradicted. The men are, we learned, p a id at so much for a cer tsil weight, or rather measure, o f coa l s procured,—that is so much for what is called " a work" or i tons (say the masters and their frie n d s ), f or which they ought to ba y" ss. Even in " straight" work—that is, in a thin seal' they ought, it is admitted, to receive this; and in oPe: work, skilful a n d s t rong men have sometimes caret 7s. 6d. " a work." A full day's work is reckoned fr°, lll , Bto 9 hour s . Th e hi g h est sums earned doily by tu; workmen allud e d t o i n t h e master ' s statement is 4s. ""' per day, 4s. 2d.. and 45., for full day's works ; but it ar pears that from some cause —whether inability to with; stand the " cli ma t e " b e l ow or otherwise—they did 10 " accomplish full and continuous days' works within the times given by them, though they are all that time t ° the pit. ter O es n te t d he on ot b h o e t r h h s a id n e d s f i o t r is w a e ll c e o g n ed ve t r h s a e t d t w he ith ma p satre t r i s es h lu ce " selected a few isolated cases only of great earnings if/ " straightforward" work, owing to the easy nature of the coal bed and the adaptness of peculiar workmen ; and that the miners, taken as a body—and many of them obliged to work in a painful recumbent position, exposed to cow tinual accidents, and becoming old men ere yet their yeah are ripe —do not on the average receive more than fru° Bs. to 12s. a. week at the utmost ! They allege, that when the beds of coal are thi n , th oug h t h ey receive additions' wages for extracting them, nothing is allowed for the exit' toil in what is called " shifting and gobbing "—that is , excavating and removing the super or sub-stratum of other materials before they can bring out the black diamonds' They further state, the " work " exacted is nine tons ill, place of se ven ; an d t h at though the masters have raise , ' the price of coals is. 6d. additional upon nine tons, the/ allow the men for getting them an advance of only la , or a fraction over Id. per ton. Amidst these conflicting statements, how can we arrile at a conclusion satisfactory to our own minds, or to thug of our readers ? Our impression is, that from the nature of the employment the wages ought to be-good and re munerative ; and that in order to settle the dispute between the parties a parliamentary commission of inquiry should forthwith be instituted, for the sake not only o f the masters and the men, but the public at large, who are' third party interested. CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,—I wish people would mind their own business' What does it signify to Mr. Ebenezer Jones, who is, per haps, only a grumbling costermonger, whether the cbatro man of the Birkenhead commissioners gets £l2OO an a cre for his land or not? If it only cost him £3OO an acre , and he can get £l2OO for it, is it not a proof that he is ° very " smart ' man, and his disinterestedness is worth something. Is he not water-furnisher, gas-manufacturers dock-maker, park-ranger, act of parliament getter, fear man, head commissioner, et quibusdam aliis, of Birketv head ? Is he not our Alpha and Omega? Is he not to wear a cocked-hat, a black gown, and a gold chain like O'Connell, when he is Lord Mayor of Birkenhe a d, as the Town-clerk of Liverpool prophesied he would soon be? And is he not to represent Birkenhead in Parliament , when it is made into a burrow, as it will be before a n other , year runs away ?
