INCORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, ?LACED WITHOUT WIRES OR OTHER LIGATURES, AND MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, role mum; DECAYED TEETH, WITHOUT PAIN, HEAT, OR PRESSURE. MONSIEUR MALIAN, Surgeon-Dentist, of the firm of Messieurs S. M. and S. Malian, 10, Ludgate-hill, London, begs to inform his Friends and Patrons, the Nobi lity, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that he has been induced to make his Tenth Annual Visit, arts may now be consulted daily, for a short period, at No. 93, (late 46,) Bold-street, next to the Savings' Bank, and hopes to receive a continuance of their liberal Patronage, from Nine till Seven daily. Mons. M. eontinues to restore Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity, with their celebrated Mineral Socceilaneum, so universally recommended by the Faculty of London and Paris. The operation of Stopping Teeth is performed in a few se conds. The Mineral is put into the cavity in an almost liquid state, without heat or pressure; it hardens into enamel, allays the most excruciating pain, and lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. Loose Teeth fastened, whether arising from age, neglect, disease of the gums, or the use of calomel. I ocarrodible Artificial Teeth, from a single one to a com plete set, matching exactly in form and colour the adjoining ages. These Teeth will not corrode, or become discoloured ; they are fixed without wires, or other ligatures, on a principle which imparts to the countenance a youthful and improved appearance; and whilst they afford support to the adjoining Teeth, however loose, answer every purpose of mastication and articulation. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there is %ono 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 is the primary cause of Tooth-ache an l Decay; to those so affected Mons. M ALLAN has to inform them, that they can effec'tually remove this destroying complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. To Clergymen and Public Orators labouring under defec tive pronunciation, Mons. M.'s method of replacing Teeth will be found peculiarly valuable, as it obviates all defects of articulation, particularly the inability to give the proper sound to the lento-lingual double consonant Tli The 11.. of Artificial Teeth, in some instances, has been found objectionable by invalids taking medicines that have a tendency to discolour them, or in the performance of oper ations which compel their removal, perhaps, in the presence of an attendant or domestic. Mons. M., however, has been successful in rernovin , : those objections, by constructing Teeth for those purpos,s, of sol,stances, and in such a man ner, as to render them capable of withstanding effects of the most inimical nature. Natural Teeth placed on the above improved principle. 11 —Hours of Attendance from Ten till Five. Mows. M. particularly invites the Members of the Faculty to witness t he operation of filling Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Succerlancurn, of which they are the sole inventors and possessors. Charges strictly moderate, according to the quality of the weirk supplied. May etcy.v he consulted, for a short period, at No. 93, (rate 4 6 ,) Bord-street, Liverpool. VOL.

DROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S - HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatment. Prepared and sold by the sole • Proprietor, at No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 21. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to coptain COPAIBA, 'CUBBBS, or any deleterious ingredie n t. •** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continuesto direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscrnninate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking►, or any other cause by which the rowers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution. When the great Doctor Swedoni became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long, celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The Hvgeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing, and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury norany other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance 'of business, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the • slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought neverto be omitted by any person going along voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. _ _ _ ~.. ... Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Fight in the morning until nn at night, (on Sundays from Nine till T wo,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A , FEE.

In torpid state of the liver and bowels, bilious affections, cholera morbus, pains in the head or disordered state of the stomach, nausea, and violent sickness, it will be found a safe, speedy, and effectual remedy. It gives instantaneous relief in the heil i kburn, is of great service in preventing piles, fistula, and gout, and in allevia ting the febrile symptoms attendant on the latter affection. Derangement of the stomach, and head, &c. arising from too free indulgence in the gratifications of the table, is speedily removed by a tea-spoonful taken'early in the morning.

Chairman. Manchester and Birmingham Railway Offices, 23, Bond-street, Manchester, Sept. 21; 1838. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY Late Meeting at Stafford on the Subject of the Extension Railway. 23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 1838. aopearsthat at a ME ETIN G, over which you presided; held in the Shire Hall, Stafford, on Thursday last and purporting to consistof Owners of Property..and Inha bitants, certain resolutions were passed, amongst which are the fol lowing:— "That this Meeting views with surprise and regret that the Manchester, and Birmingham Railway Company intend to prosecute their application to Parliament for an extension of their Railway, from near Stone down the Trent valley to Rugby, instead of joining the Grand Junction 'ine at Cheb sev. `:That regarding such a proceeding on the paot of the Com pany as a breach of faith towards this town, whose stippoi t they obtained in 1836 and 1837, against the ,ame measure, when promoted by the South Union Compairv, this Meeting feels called upon to oppose the pioject, as it. cannot have be come more beneficial or proper by the mere change of the hands promoting it." In the former of these resolutioo. it is a,mmed, that the Manehesoer and Birminl, 4 haa , • ~ not in ter.: to eff,et the Janct , t under toeir present act .sith • f,.t ; Cheb sey, in assumption which , :ft Oire, to characterise as utterly unfounded. The latter resolution alleges that toe Company i.. seeking an extension of their Railway by way of the Trent valley to Rugby, have broken faith with the town of Stafford. This imputation the Directors declare to be in like manner un warranted by the facts. It is very much to he regretted that, at a meeting- profess ing to be called for purposes of inquiry, the discussion should have been conducted, and the resolutions no doubt prepared, as they certainly were read, by the Solicitor to the Grand Junction Company, sent there, not to advance the interests of the town of Stafford, but to impart a complexion to the proceedings suited to the partictilar views of those whom he represented. And the Directors conceive that they have just occasion of complaint, that the influence of your station as Mayor, should have been given, even in appearance, to pro ceedings of an exparte kind, and that, witaout reference to or communication with this Company, resolutions have been passed under your authority misrepresenting their intentions and reflectingupon their conduct. At the proper time, which will be before a Parliamentary Committee, the Directors will be quite ready to meet any charge of breach of faith, by whomsoever preferred, either as regards their proceedings with the Grand Junction Railway Company, or with the town of Stafford. The former, indeed, will do well to bear in mind that this Board distinctly imputes to them the very charge which they. make against this Company, in, first, as senting to the present line of the Manchester and Birming ham Railway through the Potteries and pledging themselves to assist it, and then, so soon as the Act was obtained and the fear of a Treat line as they conceived removed, endea vouring to prevent the construction of the Railway which they had thus pledged themselves to support, by refusing any and all arrangement with this Company, unless " Crewe" were their ultimate point. With respect to the town of Stafford, it has, of course, a claim to the improved communication with the Potteries and Manchester, which the line of the Manchester and Birming ham Company holds out, and if it obtain those advantages, as no doubt it will, this Company will have discharged its obligations to the borough, not only without aid from, but against the wish of the Grand Junction Railway Company. So far from joining in the lamentation of Mr. T. Frith, one of the speakers at your late meeting. that " with regard to the manufactures of the place, in case of the projected line being adopted, Stone would have an advantage over Stafford," the Directors of this Company rejoice that the manufactures of Stone are likely to receive the impulse which the con struction of the Trent Railway cannot fail to afford ; and though the circumstance of a neighbouring town being placed upon a footing of equality with yourselves, may perhaps account for (it cannot justify) the hostility of Stafford to the ptoject, such a fact supplies fresh motives to the Directors for vigorously pursuing the undertaking, and will no doubt encourage the public to continue to support have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, (Signed) ROBT.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Venereal Disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate - gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues. and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread ful sufferings. - PERRY"S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, sernina weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill fora dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. The Specific Pills root out every parti cle of insidious noison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, hut reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser hutnours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a corn plete cure, with ou t th e l eas t exposure to t h e pat i ent. A t any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorati . n to sound and vigorous health._ PEHAY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, senrhot;, ! .rd glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blood. 22, SL4TEI-STRE4T, NuAn DUKE,STREET• TRADESMEN'S CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. ripHE ANNUAL DINNER of- the LIVERPOOL .1 TRADESMEN'S- CONSERVATIVE AS Cl .` TION will take place on Ti-ivi<soAl, 8 <• instant,' in the Music-hall, 13,td - stn r..

RAILWAY MEMORANDA. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.—The following is the amount of earth-work executed, and the number of men, horses, and locomotive engines employed on the works of the Midland Counties Railway Company, from the 27th of Au gust to the `and of September:—Earth-work, 203,037 cubic yards; number of meu, 4373; number of horses, 438; loco motive engine, 1. NORTH UNION RAILWAY —As this highly important line of railway advances towards completion, increased interest appears to be felt respecting it. We believe we may state with some degree of confidence, that the line from Wigan to Preston will be opened and travelled upon by about the 15th of next month. A further, but not, as we believe, a very pro tracted lapse of time will be necessarily required before the " North Union" can open for full and permanent service.-- Preston Chronicle. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.—The jury - empari netted for awarding compensation to parties claiming da mages and purchase money for the land required for a portion of this undertaking, have given in their verdict. The follow ing exhibits the various sums claimed and awarded. The names of the claimants are awarded :—A claimed £6OO, ver dict £2l; B £l2OO, verdict £130 ; . C £6O, verdi c t Ell ; D £4OO, verdict £104; E £1250, verdict £428; F £2OOO, ver dict £438; G £l3OO, verdict £550. Total claimed £6BlO verdict £l3B2.—Dublin Pape r . , CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERNUNION RAILWAY.— Four contracts for the works on this important line, to the extent of above sixteen miles, are announced in our columns to-day.—We are glad to see so much energy manifested by the Directors to secure at the 'earliest possible period the advantages which must accrue to the shareholders and the public on the completion of the line.—Bristol Journal. EXTORTIONATE CLAIMS OF LANDOWNERS FOR COMPEN SATION IN RESPECT OF PROPERTY REQUI RED BY R AILWAY COMPANIES.—We have had the curiosity to cast up the total amounts of claim and award in a dozen cases lately decided upon by juries, and find, that while the sum of the former falls little short of £lOO,OOO, the latter scarce reaches £20,000, or about one fifth of the modest demands made upon the companies! Iu individual instances the disproportion is still more striking—the sum received being to the sum sued for as 1t07,8 or 9 ! To judge from a. paragraph in one of the Bois papers of the week, they do not "manage these things better in France;" for in the case of the St. Germai n Railway, we find that claims of 161,000, 423,000, and 622.000 francs respectively, have been cut down by juries to 5000, 65,000, and 89,000. In one instance the claim was 35,000 francs—the award only 150! We find, also, from the Irish papers, that in the course of the week the Dublin and Dreg beda Railway Company have carried into court seven cases of a similar character, in which the total sum claimed was £6BlO, while the award of the juries was £1382. On e con scientious gentleman asked £1'250 but was obliged to content himself with £l2B, being just a fraction more than one-tent: of his claim:—Railway Magazine. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. — We titclerstand that contract for executing the line between la uscomb and I.eaci• trig, which was forfeited by Mr. Ranger, to the great obstruc tion of the company's plans, is now subdivided into four portions, and re-let to contractors who are bound to complete the line within seven months. Should they succeed in their undertaking, the whole distance between London and Read ing will be opened for traffic in the course of the next sum mer. Between Bath and Bristol, and oh the eastern side of Bath, increased activity is manifested by the various con tractors. We learn that a very large body of men, recently discharged in consequence of the completion of the London and Birmingham Railway, have been set to work at various points of the Great Western railway. The principal engi neer is strict in enforcing penalties for the non-completion wf a certain quantity of work within the time specified, anti every thing indicates much determination and energy in the direction Still the opera:ions are on such a gigantic scale and the obstructions of tunnel work so formidable, that we do not look for the completion of the line for a very long time. The company will, however, be in the receipt of a large in come after the Reading line is opened, as the traffic will then be wholly transferred to the railway, and the carrying trade of this populous town is itself considerable. We think it probable -4 hat a large accession of passengers will also be re ceived from the Oxfordshire side of the county; and as Reading is within 28 miles of the University, it is likely that this route will be prefernid to any other.—Berkshire Chronicle. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS R ILA' AY. —The great progress which has been madein the works on the Manches ter and Leeds railway, between this town and Littleborough, a distance of about 15 miles, will be teen by the following particulars, extracted from the report of Mr. Gooch, the company's engineer, which was read at the half-yearly meet ing of shareholders on the 17th September:—The total quantity of earthwork on this district of the line is about 2,llo,ooocubic yards, of which 1 . 615,000 cubic yards have been already executed, and no less than 1,100,000 yards during the last six months. Again, the total quantity of brick work and masonry may be stated at about 50,500 cubic yards, of which 33,000 is completed. Several of the above works were commenced so late as the month or March last, and none of them earlier than September, 1837.—The report proceeds to state that, from the great progress already made, should the weather prove tolerably fine, there is no reason to doubt the completion of this portion of the line by the month of Mar, 1839. LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RA ILW AY , —The farther opening of the London and Southampton Railway took place on Monday. according to the announcement made in our last number. The line is now opened for nearly half the entire distance; and the most active efforts are being made to com plete the remainder at the earliest possible date. We un• derstand that the result of this farther opening has more than fulfilled the expectations of the directors, and affords the best possible grounds for continue-1 confidence in the undertaking.
