THE notice of Shipowners, Shipmasters, and others, is respectfully requested to the following testimonials of the superiority of the above Rope over Hempen Cordage. The Patentee, in consequence of his Rope coming greatly into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per cwt. to 60s. per cwt., making it fully 30 per Cent. cheaper than Hemp Rope. ROBERTSON and CO., 12, Goree-piazzas, Sole Agents at Liverpool. " City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company, " Office, 24, IVater-street, Liverpool, April 2], 1841. " Gs:NTLEmEN,—In reply to your letter of this morning, I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on hoard of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-go-Brayli, and which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up, and does not give to the lashings. " 1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " JAMES C. SHAW. " Messrs. Robertson & Co., Goree-piazzas, Liverpool, Agents for A. Smith's Patent Wire Ropes." " Liverpool, 151 h May, 1811 " GENTLEMEN, -At the request of the Patentee, Mr. Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent Wi re Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Gat-row, of 711 tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite to do so. " I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage, being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have experienced, much more durable. The John Garrew's Lower Rigging is only 3i inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas, had it been Hemp, st inch would have been required. " I am, Gentlemen, yours truly, " F. WILSON. " Messrs. Robertson and Co., " Agents for Smith's Patent Wire Rope, Liverpool." BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER NIAJESTY AND ALL IV • - - THE ROYAL FAMILY. SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS, JERATED LEMONADE. THE continued preference of the Publi for the above celebrated preparations (notwithstandi g the low price at which imitations are rendered), so ndantly proves their superior quality, that it only rental for the manufac turers to express their acknowledgment's, and to caution consumers against an imposition frequently practised by un principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a spurious composition, and passing it off as SCHWEPPE'S inanufacture. None are genuine without a label represent ing the name of their firm. SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA. This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This invaluable alkali in the fluid form is so rapidly superseding its use in the solid state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in jurious tendency of the latter to lodge an accumulate in the bowels, that the Public attention cannot be too often directed to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the highest state of perfection.

IF there be anything in a name, that of Ke-shin, the Chi. nese Commissioner nominated to meet Elliott at Canton, is, in its Chinese definition, given above, ominous of sad results. Our previous knowledge of Ke-skin's opinion of the best " MODE OF MANAGING THE ENGLISH," gives us reason to " dread the hour" when he shall sit in judgment upon English commerce. KeAkin, in a memorial addressed to the Emperor in Decemlfe,i, 1838, recommends him to `'put an entire stop to all foiggn intercourse for ten years, when," he says, " the English will pay gold and silver for Tea and Rhubarb." " The Foreigners,' says Ke-shin, " subsist day by day upon beef and mutton, and every day, after meals, they take this DIVINE MEDICINE (i. e. Tea and Rhubarb), in order to get a motion in their bowels." This is the advice of Ke-shin, the most influential minister at the Court of Pekin, and now appointed Fxaminer of the English. Our unsuspicious Admiral, all-powerful whilst relying upon his carronades, has been cajoled by the wily Ke-shin into exchanging them for a goose-quill, and is to meet him, not on his proper element, but in Ke-shin's own city, Canton. CAPT. PIDDING's predictions have been verified to the letter. No part of the £3,000,000 is paid, or even promised. Instead of our demands being granted, the inquiry into them was not begun—the Court, at whi c h, Ke shin of ten years' tea-stopping celebrity is to preside, was not even formed. All, therefore, whether content with Fo kein Bohea or patrons of Captain Pidding's Teas, will ac t prudently in laying in a good stock ; for Ke-shin acts as he advised the Emperor, tea will treble itself. The public— the best judges of all that concerns the palate or the pocket —having purchased above a million catties of CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS, is sufficient proof of their superior quality ; but besides being used at the Palace, CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS are the only kind admitted at the table of fashion, while the frugal find that their strength renders them the most economical. Be particular in askieg for CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEA, and observe that all pack ages have the signature of " CAPT. JOHN RHODES PIDDING." The present reduced price of Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture, Bla c k T ea , is 6s. 4d. per lb., being Bs. 6d. the catty package ; and for Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea, is 9s. per lb., being 12 s . t h e catty package, half and quarter catties in proportion.

The Property comprehends abotk46l Imperial Acres or thereby, whereof 437 or thereby are Arable, and the remainder under Wood. The Land i s i n general of good quality, and let chiefly on leases of ordinary duration to substantial tenants ; the enclosures round the House, which are almost wholly in Grass, being let for Pasture from year to year. The Wood is of different ages, but all thriving and orna mental. The Mansion House is in excellent repair, and in every way suited for the accommodation of a genteel family. It stands on a gentle eminence, surrounded and sheltered by fine old trees, and commands a view of a fertile country, and, the windings of the river Annan. The Garden, in a convenient situation, is remarkably fer tile, and enclosed b y a wall covered with productive fruit trees. The Game on the Lands, consisting of Hares and Partridge, is plentiful, and the river Annan, which flows about a mile from the House, affords excellent Salmon Fishing. The London and Glasgow mail passes through a corner of the estate four times a day, and steam boats to and from Li verpool ply almost daily, and disembark passengers at the Harbour of Annan. In short, a more desirable small estate and residence cannot easily be found. It would make a very eligible purchase for a Liverpool Gentleman who wished for a summer and autumnal retreat, to which capital steam-boats would convey him in a few hours. JAMES HENRY, at Knockhill, will point out the Property, and all further particulars will be communicated by JAMES H. STEWART, Esq., Stamp office, Dumfries, or HUGHES and AI YLNE, W. S., 35, Charlotte-square, Edinburgh. 19th May, 1841.

It is seldom so eligible an investment is offered ; and it is the only property of any magnitude to be had in that part of Cheshire.

BATHS TllE great utility of Medicated Baths are becoming more generally known, from the relief experienced by those who have tried their efficacy. Making use of the Baths under the direction of Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, and at the same time king the Medicine prescribed by the Medical Attendant, n doubt but that more good can be effected conjointly than au be done by Baths alone, or Medicine alone. An opinion has been entertained that ape is more liable to take cold after the use of a Medicated B . This is a mis taken conclusion, nay, so far from this being the fact, if a person is labouring under indisposition from the effects of a cold, the use of the Baths, in a short time, will remove the complaint, and cause a general glow and warmth to ensue. The use of the Baths are found to be beneficial in Fevers, Gout, Rheumatism, Tic Douloureux, Influenza, Lumbago, Sciatica, Erysipel as , Scrofula, Consumption, Cancer, Dis eases of the Skin, Diseases of the Liver, Asthma, Headach, Obstructed Perspiration, Suppression of the Urine, Fatigue of Body or Mind, Croup, Thrush, Earach, Inflamation of the Kidneys ,Inflamation of the Spleen ,Inflarnation of the Bladder, Small Pox, Sore Throat, Measles, Nettle Rash, Saint Vitus Dance, Whooping Cough, Colic, Cholera Morbus, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rickets, Diseased Mesenteric Glands, Scurvy, Jaundice, Deafness, Suppression of the Menstrual Flux, Sprains, Ulcers, Scalled Head, Ring Worm, Blotches on the Face, Chilblains, Convulsions, Inflamation of the Breast,Milk Fever, Lock Jaw, Convulsions, Infiamation of the Eyes, Palsy, Elephantiasis, Bruises, Dislocation of the Shoulder, Elbow, Ancle, &c., Sprains, Strangulated Hernia, Preg nancy, Apoplexy, Hysterics, Hypocondriacal complaints, Dispepsia Water on the Brain, Chlorosis, &c.

PURE W A T E R. THE ROYAL FILTERS, Sole Office, 163, STRAND, LONDON, opposite the New Church. T O purify foul Water like that supplied to the inhabitants of the principal cities and towns in England, replete with every species of offal and myriads of anitnalculre, and to convert it forthwith into an enlivening, wholesome, and chrystalline beverage like the Mountain Spring, is one of the most difficult problems of science which thousands in every age and country have attempted in vain, having produced at best a vapid sickening beverage, till the happy electro chymi -0/1 cal invention of ROBINS'S ROYAL LTE RS appeared. This has justly been characterised b one of the highest practical authorities, as " THE 01 4 Y EFFECTUAL AND WH OLESOME MODE OF FILTRATI . ; " as a proof of the fidelity of this remark, it will be sufficient to observe, that during the prevalence of the fatal fever that has lately per vaded the metropolis, not a public establit.hrnent or private residence in which the Royal Filters had been adopted was visited by the scourge : the advantages of the discovery has already raised up a host of humble imitators, but it will be found that all other apparatus are imperfect in action, subject to constant disarrangement, and in many cases render the use of the water dangerous to health. It is only necessary to add, that the Royal Filters are protected by her Majesty's Letters Patent ; that they have been adopted.iu all the royal residences, the various branches of the Public Service, her Majesty's Navy, and the Mansions and Residences of more than 180,000 Families throughout the Kingdom. To render the invention of general benefit, it has been proposed to the Patentee by the most influential members of the College of Physicians to reduce the prices in order to render them avail able to all branches of the Community, and accordingly the following scale is submitted to public attention : Plain. Ornamented. 2 gal. Vase Filter purifying I 2gal. pr. day 1:0 18 0 £1 3 0 3 ditto . • . 18 . . 1 2 0 1 7 0 4 ditto . • . 26 • • 1 6 0 112 0 6 ditto . • . 40 • • 112 0 2 0 0 9 ditto . • • 65 • • 2 2 0 212 0 12 ditto . • • 9 0 • • 212 0 3 50 CAUTION. The Patentee of Robins's Royal Filters having discovered that various persons have manufactured and vended certain machines denominated Filters, professing to clear and purify water, placing on the same, " By Her Majesty' s L e t ters Patent.' " Patent Royal Filter," or other words to a simi lar effect, hereby announces his intention of suing, without further notice ; for the full penalties, agreeable to the late act of parliament, against all parties so offending, either as Makers or Vendors, to which he requests the attention of country Agents, who may otherwise suffer by vending the piratical imitations of certain unprincipled and ignorant adventurers ; and the Patentee earnestly cautions purchasers not to confound the Royal Filter with any other apparatus, and in order to guard against all piracies, to remark that the words ROYAL FILTER, ROBINS, PATENTEE, LONDON. are placed on each, that they can be obtained of his Agents ' in all Towns throughout the Kingdom, and at the OFFICE, 163, STRAND, LONDON, near SOMERSET HOUSE ; also Mr. BRITTAIN BUXTON, Nos. 4, and 8, CLEVE.

THOMAS PESTERRE and CO., N 0.77, BOLD-STREET, where he respectfully solicits an inspection of his present very select STOCK for the SPRING and SUMMER TRADE, and it being his determination to charge very , moderately and to compete with the Liverpool prices, sup plying the choicest articles of every description, in which he will have the advantage of being liberally supported by his friends in London, he flatters himself that from his great experience in Cutting, and having likewise in his employ ment a first-rate Trowsers Cutter, his Establishment will be found, on trial, to afford advantages which cannot be sur passed by any House in the Kingdom. Military and Naval Uniforms, Ladies' Habits, Young Gentlemen's Dresses, Liveries, &c., on very moderate terms. Gentlemen waited upon in any part of the Town or Neigh bourhood, before Ten o'clock in the Morning or after Four in the Afternoon. Ten per Cent. Discount allowed for Cash FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR. MIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OR FAMILY _HAIR OIL. T M. respectfully solicits a trial of thioinestimahle Oil, e where its efficacy is not knownl l tt is patronised by families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the Toilet. It has been proved, by nmny experiments, in restor ing the Hair, wh en ever y o th er a pplication has failed ; and when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it reno vates and produces its original lustre. J. M. is aware that the public is prejudiced against Hair Oils that have no other recommendation than the advertise ments ; however, no disappointment will occur in the use of Middlewood's Oil : the testimonials are indisputable, as submitted to Parliament. Many Oils, sold as stimulants, render the Hair harsh, and are injurious in the extreme ; they clog the pores, and compress the absorbents, producing dandruff, a dry unpleasant sensation on the scalp ; but this, and every other cause of baldness may be removed by the genuine Botanic Oil, which is of great utility in every family. It preserves the Hair and scalp from infancy to old age. Sold in Pot Boxes, 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., with an allowance on taking three Boxes. It is sold in Family Bottles, for the toilet, 10s. each. J. M. is daily receiving the most flattering praise, not only of the superior properties of his Oil, but also of the reason able price of so valuable an article. Oil to the amount of ills., or upwards, will be forwarded free of carriage, on re ceipt of a post-office or other order of payment. The Botanic Oil is particularly recommended to all Public Seminaries, as it will prevent the spreading of ringworm, or other cutaneous diseases incident to the hair and scalp. For Export, J. M. recommends the Botanic Oil as a safe and profitable speculation, no article can compete with it in England : there can be no competition, a premium is given from 25 to '3O per cent. over and above the customary profits to venders, and, consequently, it is not the best article, but the greatest profit that is a consideration, and before the public can be well served, they must make a trial of ar ticles the most obnoxious to the general trade. J. M. begs to announce the last arrival of SHAD DOCKS and FORBIDDEN FRUIT for the present season is of su perior quality, and the same he had the honour of sending to IIF,II MAJESTY THE QUEEN, and so much approved at the Royal Table. American Apples, Black and Green Grapes, Seville Oranges, for Marmalade, and every other Fruit in season, in high preservation. Parker-street, Lirerpool.

The experiment of Mon day has verified all their hopes. M.

NELSON'S COXSIVAIN.—On Saturday last this venerable tar suddenly expired, at his little fishmonger's shop, in Church-passage, Greenwich. He was upwards of 80 years of age. Sykes was a most daring fellow, and was with Lord Nelson during the whole of the time of his glorious deeds. He most of all distinguished himself at the battle of Trafal gar. His bravery deserved greater reward than it received. Peace to his manes !—Kentish Mercury. END or A RICA POPE.—Clement V., during his feeble and profligate reign, amassed enormous riches by the sale of ecclesiastical benefices, and by other scandalous means. lie had enriched his relations and his dependents, but he had not secured their gratitude. The moment that his death was announced in the papal palace, all its inmates rushed upon his treasure as if they had been their lawful booty. Amongst his numerous household, not a single servant remained - to watch the dead body of their master. The wax candles that lighted his bed of state fell upon the bed-clothes, and set them on fire. The flames spread over the whole apartment, hut the palace and wardrobe were so plundered, that only a miserable cloth could be found to cover the half-burnt re- mains of one of the richest popes who had ever governed the church.—Campbell's Life of Petrarch. PASSAGE TO BOMBAY.-It may interest some of our read ers to learn the actual and requisite expenses of an overland journey from London to Bombay. _ The items are estimated from the letter of at field-officer i l li cc l u ie r r ac m y. aje p st a y s • we can vouch majesty's Passage m to y, Alex andria,and per steamer, £45. Fee to steward and servants, £1 los. Living on shore at Gibraltar, and boat-hire there, £2 3s. Living at Malta, boats and porters there, £1 Os Gd. Hotel at Alexandria, 10s.

Total expended between London and Bombay, £139 9s. Now it is obvious that this expenditure is fully met by the passage allowance, of £llO to captains, and £95 to subalterns, if they are willing to expend their regimental pay during the trip. The sole advantage to the poor officer in going round the Cape of Good Hope is, that he obtains his passage and living for the foregoing sums, but he has to c arry aga i nst t h at ad vantage the large supply of sea outfit required for a voyage of four or five months.—Naral and Military Gazette. DEBCRIPTION OF A THIRTY-TON CRANE, ERUCTED ON THE QUAY OF EARL GREY'S DOCK, DUNDEE HARBOUR. By James Leslie, M. Inst. C. E.—The crane is placed on a stone platform sixteen feet square, raised six feet above the level of the quay, with its centre seven feet back from the dock face ; and as the sweep or radius is thirty-five feet to the perpendicular of the jib-sheave, the load is suspended twenty-eight or twenty-nine feet over the dock (as the dou ble or single purchase sheave is used.) The height of the sheave above the level of the quay is forty-feet. Instead of the framing revolving about a fixed post, as is the usual mode of construction, the post itself is connected with the framing, and turns with it, so that the strain may be always in the direction of the greatest strength. To avoid the extra dimensions of the castings for the post, if it had been com posed entirely of cast iron, and for facility in the construc tion, the parts of ca s t an d wrought iron are so combined that the " push" is thrown upon the cast-iron abutting piece which is placed in front, while the b ac k- part, cons i st i ng o f ' wrought-iron bars, bears the " p u ll." Th e two r i ngs on the post are turned on the face and edges, and being bolted together form a fair surface for the friction rollers, while the back forms a rest for the tension bars. These back tension bars arc three inches wide by two and a half inches thick each, forming au aggregate section of forty-five inches They were all proved in the bent form in which they aroused, aart by making fast the ends of each bar to cross heads heldtoni fromO by two logs, and suspending a load of twenty-four calculated the elbow formed by the bend in the bar ;. ninety e t ac on h s : Thereto be a e r q e u a i equivalent e t n w t et aideo a tension bars, two inches thiso fwn firmly sunk in the cast iron-blo ck, in a bolted il as )e t : i t s r o o uthcey cylinder e o r f the framing.
