CARR, } Secretaries. R. APPLETON, A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY FOR INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, CURE ASTHMA, INCIPIENT CONSUMPTIONS, AND ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST AND LUNGS. k.) PENCE ft'-S 'P'U'LMONIC 'ELIXIR, carefully prepared from the IteBpe of the late C. SPENCER, Surgeon, &c., Salford, Manchester, deservedly celebrated as the most successful practition • in all.pulmonary affections. Of all complaints maiden o the.human frame, those of the Lungs appear to be most culiar to this climate, especially in damp, foggy weather, d during the winter months ; whilst persons of every age a.. station of life are alike the subjects of attack. SPENCER'S •' ITLMONIC ELIXIR is admirably adapted to promote ex o• oration, ease the breathing, loosen the phlegm, abate 1: er, allay the tickling sensation which occa sions the coug without tighteningothe , ehest. The PuLar. IC ELIXIR was originally prepared by the late Mr. Spenc • , whose signal success in Ai v ensin g it can have the ready testimony of thousands, who have experienced its •eificacy. The recipe is now solely known to the present Pro prietors, who purchased it from the widow of the inventor. The two great characteristics of the Elixir are, the allaying of till irritation in the delicate and susceptible coating of the ,throat and chest; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the respiratory organs, whereby they are enabled to discharge their functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breath ing arising from a cold, foggy, or impure atmosphere, and to throw off those insidious attacks which too often lay the groundwork of Consumption. For all temporary and local affections, as Wheezing, Irritation of the Throat, Huskiness of Voice, :and Influenza, the Puntoxic ELIXIR gives instant relief, while in more Chronic Disorders (as periodical Coughs or inveterate Asthma) it is equally efficient, though of course requiting a little more perseverance in the use of the medicine. Inmunerable cases of well-attested cures have been received by the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. The following is the most recent : Messrs. MOTTERSHEAD and CO., of Manchester, beg to hand the following Testimonial, just received by them, ad dressed to the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. , Stite,--4 feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to ac- Knowledge the great benefit I have received by taking SPEN LER'S PULHONIC E,LZXIR. I have been troubled for the last haveree ears with a severe cough, and a disease on my lungs ; I consulted some of the ablest medical men in Manchester and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo the relief, for a short time, and always at a great expense. At atter end of 1 844, it had occasion to visit London. Before this time, I never heard of your invaluable Elixir; a friend M . mine recommended me to try it. As I found the London ...Air made my cough much worse than it had ever been befire, t did try it , and experienced great relief from the first dose I t ook; I persevered, and one small bottle of your Elixir, price 4!1.16d., did me more good than I have ever received for twenty times the amount, for which I feel very grateful. „ I remain, Sirs, yours, thankfully, " M.

The United Irishman opens with a letter bearing the signature of "John Mitchell," and addressed to Lord Clarendon. The conclusion of the letter is as follows : " In plain English, my lord earl ? the deep and irreconcileable disaffection of this people to all British laws, law-givers, and law administrators, shall find a voice. That holy hatred of foreign dominion which nerved our noble predecessors 50 yea; s ago for the dungeon, the field, or the gallows (though of late years it has worn a vile nisi Arius gown, and snivelled somewhat in courts of law and on spouting platforms), still lives, thank God ! and glows as fierce and hot as ever. To educate that holy hatred, to make it know itself and avow itself, and at last fill itself full, Thereby devote the columns of the United Irishman." Among the con tributors to the war-journal is the celebrated Father Kenyon, of Templederry, who, it is presumed, finds the Nation too lukewarm in the cause he espouses. FATAL. EFFECTS OF CIILOROFORM.—A melancholy accident has just occurred in Aberdeen from the habitual use of chloro form. The facts are these :—Arthur Walker, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Seater and Shepherd, wholesale drug gists, having occasionally to weigh out a portion of the chloro form, was so exhilarated under the effects of the vapour that escaped, that he was tempted to use it upon his pocket handkerchief as though it were eau de Cologne, until a habit was formed which became a species of intoxication. On Tuesday last he was left in the warehouse with a younger boy, and about mid-day having to weigh an ounce of chloroform to order, could not resist the opportunity of inhaling a dose. Having got very excited, his companion was alarmed, and know ing that he got violent, when any attempt was made to remove him in such a state, lie was pleased to see him lay his head quietly down on his anus resting on the table. He was in this state when the principal clerk entered the warehouse, and on his father being called, it was found, as he lifted his he a d, t h at life was gone. Though the jugular vein in his neck was opened, no blood came. The deceased was in his 19th year. tHE tIVERPOIL .STAN#II% TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LIVERPOO INFIRMARY.

THE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDICINE IN THE GLOBE. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED - - Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847, from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal, Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known s • . rietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs a e with eight ulcers on it, the other with three, they were such a fearful state that the effluvia from them was very eat. Some time since he made a journey to Dublin for the rpose of consulting some of the most eminent professio men, but returned home to his fa mily with the choice • either one of two alternatives—to have both legs amputat ,or die in il—On his way home he met a gen tleman the et who recommended the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which he had recourse to, and was per fectly eared by 'means alchno (Siined) CHARLES TULLY, Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon journal, To Professor Holloway. A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF ERYSIPELAS, In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf and dumb from the virulence of the complaint. ' February 19th , 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place. Cheltenham, was for tiviiiears so dreadfully afflicted with Erysipelas that she became (how ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and (leaf. from the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health. _ Idrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure. It can also be authenticated at tho Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High street, Cheltenham. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ul cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours,Swellings, Gout, Itheumat ym,and Lumb ago, lik ew i se in cases of Piles ; Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means c u res w i l l b e effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be at.certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiegofoot, Yaws, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis eases common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical climates. Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also ofß hutnioensand Ointment.

Price, Wavertree i 9 DEATH OF THE ARCItBISHOP OF CANTER- BURY ] This announcement will surprise none; but it will grieve many. The tenor of the bulletins which have been issued since the middle of last week were too evidently indicative of the event which has taken place. His grace expired a little after two o'clock on Friday morning at Lambeth Palace, surrounded by the members of his family, and in full and perfect consciousness of his ap proaching end, which was most calm and tranquil. The public career of the venerable deceased has been a very simple, though a very splendid one. He was the only son of the Rev. Dr. William Howley, Vicar of Bishop's Sutton and Ropley, in Hampshire. He was born on the 12th of February, 1766, and under his father's hand re ceived his father's Christian name. Early in life he entered the old school at Winchester, where he pursued his studies in conjunction with Mr. Addington, afterwards Lord Sidmouth ; Mr. Burgess, late Bishop of Salisbury ; Mr. Huntingford, late Bishop of Hereford, and other youths, whose learning and abilities subsequently raised them to great eminence. _ _ - Mr. Howley, having completed his studies at Winches ter, proceeded in the year 1783 to New College, Oxford, and, after remaining for two years a scholar on the Wykeham foundation, he was elected to a fellowship. His degree of. Bachelor of Arts he took in 1787, and that of Master of Arts in 1791. Within three years from that date he was chosen a Fellow of Winchester College, and in 1804 appointed a Canon of Christ Church. In the course of the next year he took the degrees of 8.D., and su:mequently of D.D. In 1809, Dr. Hall was advanced to the Deanery of Christ Church, when Dr. Howley suc ceeded him as Regius Professor of Divinity. The manner in which he discharged his duties as principal tutor of New College, the fame of his learning, the purity of his life, and the acknowledged piety of his character, obtained for him the cordial patronage of George 111. It will, of course, be recollected that the Prince of Orange, now King of Holland, was an Oxford man. It was equally well-known that at a very early age it was proposed to form a matrimonial alliance between that illustrious personage and the late Princess Charlotte, so that his Royal Highness was regarded as likely to occupy in this country the position of Prince Consort. The care of his education was given to Dr. Howley —a trust of no ordi nary importance, and which evidently augured his advancement to the episcopal bench. It is scarcely ne cessary to add that he discharged this as he did every other trust most conscientiously. That the learned Pro fessor of Divinity stood high in the estimation of his royal pupil there can be no doubt ; it is well known that the last time the King of Holland was in this country'he paid a visit at Lambeth Palace, and took especial pains to mark the high esteem with which, after the lapse of many years, he continued to regard his quondam preceptor. Dr. Howley was also tutor to the Marquess of Abercorn. On the 4th of October, 1813, Dr. Howley was appointed Bishop of London, and he discharged the duties of that sacred office with ease and success. The deceased pre late was consecrated at Lambeth Palace, and it so hap pened that Queen Charlotte, the consort of George 111., though upwards of 70 years of age, had never witnessed the consecration of a bishop. Her majesty, accompanied by two of the princesses, was present at the ceremony that placed Dr. Howley on the Episcopal Bench. In the following year our new bishop made his primary visitation ; and the charge which his lordship delivered on that occa sion was afterwards published, at the request of the learned and reverend body to whom it had been addressed. It was written with moderation, but with too much ability not to produce some excitement in one or two quarters, especially amongst that which is now a declining sect, the Unitarians, whom he described as "loving to question rather than learn." Mr. Belsham, the champion of the Unitarians, accordingly attacked the diocesan of London, and a controversy ensued, into the merits of which it is altogether unnecessary now to examine. He assisted at all those marriages of the Royal Family which followed close upon the death of the Princess Charlotte, the bap tisms of the several issue of those unions, the funeral of George 111., and the coronation as well as the funeral of George IV.—a monarch into whose good opinion he had ingratiated himself as successfully as into that of his father. In the year 1828, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Charles Manners Sutton, dying, Dr. Howley was elevated by the King, upon the recommendation of the Duke of Wellington, then prime minister, to the vacant arch bishopric. His character rose with his position ; he evi dently felt safe and at ease in his new dignity ; for, know ing his countrymen, he entertained a strong conviction that they would never allow hereditary wealth and titles, or " any other species of proud pretension, to look down with scorn upon an office which they look up to with reverence, nor presume to trample on that acquired per sonal nobility which they intend always to be, and which often is the fruit, not the reward ( for what can be the re ward ?) of learning, piety, and virtue." When the de ceased prelate was raised to the primacy of all England, the Duke of Wellington stood at the head of the Govern ment, but no compact involving political subserviency was " concluded between the high contracting parties." The new archbishop entered the upper house as free a lord of firliament as if an hereditary peerage bad descended to him through a line of twenty generations. Within eight months of his elevation to the chair of St. Austin, he pro tested against the policy of the minister from whom he had received his appointment; and when the principle of the great government measure of that year ( the Roman Catholic Relief Bill of 1829) came under discussion in the House of Lords, he moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Such a step may have been called personally and politically ungrateful, but our pri mate said that at his consecration he had sworn to stand by the Church of England. His post as ecclesiastical leader required that he should exalt his "mitred front in courts and parliaments," indifferent to the power of minis ter or monarch. And he did it. But he had other difficulties with which to contend, and other painful duties to perform. He had baptized the Queen ; he had solemnized her marriage : he had placed the Crown upon her head ; he was the first eccle siastic in the realm ; and when it appeared to him, as well as to other distinguished members of the Hierarchy, that in the Palace of the Sovereign Sunday was observed in a manner rather in accordance with the gaitey of continental tastes, than with the quiet reserve of English and Pro testant habits, he did not hesitate to call her Majesty's attention to the subject; and it has been stated more than once during the Melbourne ministry he respectfully tendered to the crown advice not quite in accordance with the wishes of those who at that time surrounded our then youthful and inexperienced sovereign. Of his public or his private life little more remains to be related. Before he became Bishop of London he married Mary Frances, eldest daughter of John Belli, Esq., of Southampton. The issue of that marriage were two sons and three daughters. One of the archbishop's sons was for a short time an officer in the Guards, but he died of consumption at the age of 20. His other son only lived to be 12 years of age. The archbishop's eldest daughter married, in the year 1825, Sir George Beaumont, Bart., and died in ten years after her marriage. Another of his daughters was married to a Mr. Wright, and a third to a Mr. Kingsmill. The latter years of the de ceased prelate were not much distinguished from the gene ral tenour of his life. The extreme quietude of his character induced some of his acquaintance to say that he had never been young, therefore, when he was really overtaken by old age, his habits underwent little change. Even within a year of his decease, he appeared in public almost as frequently as usual, though, of course, he gra dually ceased to preach, and very rarely during the last four or five years addressed the House of Lords. Had he lived to see Saturday (the 12th of February), his Grace would have completed the 82d year of his age. Nearly two months since the Archbishop was attacked with influenza in its severest form. The most acute symptoms of the disorder, however, subsided sufficiently to induce a belief that his Grace was convalescent. But the epidemic left him in a condition so debilitated that at length it was found his naturally strong constitution must give way. On Monday last, Dr. Ferguson and Mr. Col lambell intimated that there existed no hopes, as the rev. patient exhibited the greatest exhaustion. In the course of the night he had deep slumber, and at intervals it was thought his Grace had ceased to exist, his breathing being scarcely perceptible. On Tuesday morning, to the sur prise of his physicians. he awoke apparently refreshed, and although seemingly aware of the change which would shortly ensue, he was cheerful and his flow of spirits were as usual. His last moments were tranquil, and to within a short period of his decease he was in full possession of his faculties. The deceased was Primate of All England and Metro politan ; a Governor of the Charter House, Visitor of All . Souls. Ballo!, and_._Merton Colleges, Oxford; and of King's College, London ; of Harrow School and Dulwich College. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in Nov. 1796 ; aas Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and a member of the Royal Society of Literature. His Grace was also President of many of our charitable insti tutions, to the funds of which he was a munificent con tributor. The Church has lost a devout and sincere member in his Grace, who, since he occupied the exalted station of Primate, had the fortune to gain the esteem and regard of all classes. It was said of him that he had as much piety as Bishop Porteus, and more learning. Munificence was a resplendent feature in his character. His gifts were princely ; but these constituted a small part of his liberality. Probably no prelate since the Reforma tion has been so eminent a re-edificator--if we may coin such a word. London House was built by him ; Lambeth Palace was rebuilt ; and Canterbury Cathedral has scarcely known the absence of the restorer's hand since Dr. Howley took his seat upon its throne. In these great works, we should say, on a very roug h est i mate, t h at more than '200,000 must have been expended. This sort of munificence is becoming fashionable now, but the late archbishop began the work when no other person in the kingdom besides himself dreamt of such doings. The remains of the lamented deceased are to be interred in the vault, built by the orders of his grace, at Addington Church, and not at the Cathedral at Canterbury, as imagined by many persons. Cardinal Pole w'is the last Archbishop of Canterbury interred in that sacred edifice, just three centuries back. SECOND NORTH 'UNION BUILDING SOCIETY. —The first sale of shares in this society takes place to-morrow evening, at Mr. Whiteman's, Brunswick Hotel. It is established on a principle combining all the advantages of clubs that have been previously originated. POST-OFFICE ORDER CASE.—Yesterday, at the Police court, two men, John Melville and Martin Hunt, were charged by Sarah Narey with having obtained from her, by a false showing, the sum of eight shillings. It ap peared that one of the prisoners had gone to the com plainant, and presented a post-office order, purporting, (as she was led to believe) for £4 4s.,—upon which he succeeded in borrowing eight shillings. One of the ac cused had, so far as could be inferred, altered the order which was for only 4s. to £4 45., by prefacing the £4 in writing. One of the clerks from the post-office -order office stated that the order was genuine (having been advised) for 4s. only ; and the act of fraud not being dis tinctly provable, the accused were dismissed, AMERICA. - By the royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Capt. Harrison, which arrived in the Mersey on Saturday, at midnight, we have advices from New York to the 29th ult. and Halifax to the Ist instant. The Cambria brought £lO,OOO in specie on freight. The Acadia steam-ship arrived at Ha lifax on the 20th ult. The steam-ships Washington and Missouri had reached New York. The former vessel made the passage from Halifax to New York in three days and sixteen hours, the latter in three days and two hours, and the steam-ship Cambria in two days and eight hours. The Missouri was to leave New York on the sth instant for Havre, and the Washington for Southampton on the 20th. Our Mexican advices are interesting, as holding out some prospects of peace. General Scott and Mr. Trist had both been recalled ; but, notwithstanding this, and much to the astonishment and indignation of th e Presi dent and the war party in the States, they had concluded an unauthorised peace with the Mexican Government. The terms of the treaty had not reached Washington. There was a rumour current that Herrera had been elected President of Mexico. A Mexican paper states that Santa Anna had embarked at Acapulco for San Blas. General Scott had issued an order assessing upon the States of Mexico, occupied by the United States troops, an annual tax, amounting to about 3,000,000 dollars. A train on its way to Santa Fe was attacked and plun dered by a body of guerillas. An English house lost pro perty to the amount of 54,000 dollars. Tile steamer Jaleabusha, heavily iaden with cotton, and bound for New Orleans, took fire, and was, with forty passengers, totally destroyed. A large fire took place at Havana on the 13th ult., by which several warehouses were consumed. A meeting was appointed to be held at Mexico for the purpose of carrying out a proposition for a railroad be tween that city and Vera Cruz. Two more banks had suspended, the State Bank at Sau gerties, and the Bank of Cayuga Lake. These are free banks, and the bills of both are secured wholly by stock of the State of New York, so that there cannot be much loss upon them. The present circulation of the former is probably about 50,000 dollars. The Bank of Cayuga, Lake is located at Ithica, Tompkin's County. lts secu rities consist, or did recently consist, of 55,314 dollars in. New York State Fives, and the circulation was the same ; that is, it had issued the same amount of circulating notes. To judge from present appearances, General Taylor seems to have the best chance for the post of President. A bill had been reported in the House of Ref resenta fives, authorising a loan for 18,000,000 dollars. LIST OF PASSENGERS From New York.—Mr. Thomas Winnans and lady, Miss Julia Winnans, Mr. R.

The commercial news from New York by this arrival is perhaps the most important feature of the intelligence. Exchange on London was 109+ to 110+. The Cotton Market, though receiving a favourable im pulse on the first receipt of the Cambria's advices, had lost all it had previously gained. The receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports are 765,863 bales, against 858,346 to same dates last year —a decrease th season 92,483 bales. The total foreign export this year is 56,62, bales more than last—say, 17,701 decrease to Great Bri tain, 33,533 increase to France, 20,096 increase to North of Europe, end 20,676 increase to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 22,848 bales less this season than last; and there is a decrease in stock of 61,943 bales. The sales for the fortnight are 14,050 bales. As to the extent of the crop of cotton 2,250,000 bales now appear the most prevalent figures. The grain and flour markets for the fortnight had been steady and very uniform, prices being the same as on the departure of the previous steamer, though temporarily a little higher. Of course the shipments are becoming narrowed as the period was arriving when it would not be safe for ships to arrive here before Ist 'March, Export from Ist to 28th January.

HOLLOWAY'S CARTOON ENGRAVINGS, The series was commenced in the year 1800, and finished in the year 1842, occupying the time of three engravers during a period of 42 years. The Cartoons of Raphael are England's chief treasures of art ; they have been for centuries the admiration of the world; and the gallery at Hampton Court, built by Wren for their reception, is as a place of pilgrimage to all who appreciate true excellence and venerate the genius of the greatest master of ancient or of modern times. It is impossible to overrate the value of this great heir loom of the British crown ; critics of all nations have lauded it as a collection of invaluable worth ; these match less specimens not only supply the safest and surest les sons of art, but they are powerful incentives to virtue and religion ; for never have the mind and hand of the painter so effectually aided the preacher in his great mission— never has divine truth been rendered so impressive by the pencil of the artist. Although there are few persons entirely unacquainted with these great works, it may not be amiss to state that the series was produced by Raphael, in the years 1513 and 1514—in order that tapestries might be worked to decorate the interior e the Sistine Chapel, where those tapestries still exist, although in a faded and dilapidated condition. They were purchased by Charles 1., acting under the advice of the painter Rubens ; and, although England has been thrice in danger of losing these invalu able acquisitions, happily they have continued with us, the boast of our country and, according to a quaint writer, " the envy of all other polite nations." The cartoons, it is scarcely needful to say, consist of " seven grand designs drawn with chalk upon strong paper, and coloured in distemper." They have been fre quently engraved ; but in nearly all instances the en gravings have been either " merely neat memoranda," or very inferior productions of the burin. There existed no copies at all comparable with the great originals ; their fame depended mainly on the reports of those who had seen them ; and a 9 lessons in art or incentives to piety more than half their value was lost, because no master mind had been entrusted with the duty of their multipli cation. In the year 1800, however, the task was under taken by a most accomplished engraver, the late Thomas Holloway, and his able coadjutors, R. Slann and T. S. Webb, under the immediate patronage of his majesty George 111. Each print was originally published separately as it was produced ; and it will be obvious that as works resulting from such immense labour necessarily bore a corresponding price ; their cost has hitherto confi ne d th e i r c i rcu l at i on to, thewealthy. Such impediment is now removed, as it is the intention of the present proprietor, Mr. Webb, of London, who is retiring, to submit the entire stock of this truly national series of magnificent engravings from the greatest works in the world to the lovers of fine arts and admiring public in a manner announced in our advertising columns of to-day, which affords an opportunity, by a guinea subscription, of obtaining one engraving for a cer tainty, which was originally published at four guineas. The series may be justly classed as among the most ad mirable examples of line engraving that have been exe- . cuted ; the engravers trusted for fame entirely upon these productions, upon which the energies of the best part of their lives were expended ; and it is not too much to say that, as prints, they are worthy associates of the immortal drawings. The artist has now, therefore, an opportunity of ac quiring a means of study which all authorities concerning art unite in characterising as the safest and surest guide to knowledge—unerring guides to learning, facility, and truth ; while to the amateur is opened a new source of easily accessible enjoyment. The collect(?r of fine en gravings will also consider this opportunity one which ought not to be lost,—since the value of these productions . does not depend upon fashion or caprice : will increase with time ; for the veritable excellence of the engraved copies, as well as the immo rtal original drawi ngs , a ff or d. security against any diminution of their worth. On Thursday . , another of the wretched murderers, John Renehan, convicted at the Limerick Special Commission, underwent the extreme penalty of the law. The unhappy man made no declaration of his guilt. Very few persons; were present. The Irish liberal papers express their sor row for the fate of these miserable men, by insinuating doubts as to the justice of the verdicts. GAME. — Hitherto the metropolis has been held as the market most important for supplying seasonable game; but when its inland position is considered and compared with the facilities possessed by Liverpoolecomninnica tion with Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. in all of which the supply is more than adequate to the consumption, there is no reason why we should not stand at an equality With London. Such is the opinion of Mr. Johnson, who advertises in our paper to-day ; and having appointed agents in the four portions of the United Kingdom, and entered into most extensive contracts for the produce of many special preserves, it is to be hoped lie will be suc cessful—his aim being to offer a superior article at a much smaller price than has hitherto been offered
