SERJEANT'S LOTION, the only effectual Remedy 1,3 against Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout Sciatica, and Lum bago. Sold by the Proprietor, G. C. SERJ'EANT, No. 7, Lo vell's-court, Paternoster-row, London ; and by all Vendors of Medicine. Price 2s. 9d. per !kale. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever -wining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rhemnatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are thefollovi mg testimonials :- 14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 2G, 1844. n, —I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES. Well-street, cripplegate. Sin,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me. dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE. 31orlev's Hotel,Strand,lBth August, 1846. SIR,—I have hitherto . had a prejudice against hai'ing recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt ,the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom min. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VI LLENNEVE.

HE high and universal celebrity which ATKIN SON'S ROYAL INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE continues to maintain, as a safe and agreeable medicine, renowned fur its efficacy in preventing or removing the disorders to which in fancy is liable, affording instant relief in convulsions, flatulency, affections of the bowels, difficult teething, the thrush, rickets, measles, hooping-cough, cowpox, or vaccine inoculation, and may be given with safety immediately after birth. It is no misnomer cordial !—no stupefactive, deadly narcotic I—but a veritable preservative of infants ! Mothers would do well in always keeping it in the nursery. Many thousands of children are annually saved by this much-esteemed medicine, which is an immediate remedy, and the infants rather like it than other wise. In short, whether this medicine enters the palace or the cottage, the proprietor feels an honest conviction of its power to assuaee maternal pain for infant suffering—to convert that pain into gladness, that suffering into balmy repose. It is equally efficacious for children or adults, in English cholera, spasms, pain into the bowels, and other complaints of the. in testines owing to wind or obstructions in the digestive organs. It is highlyi recommended by the faculty.

The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Judkins, arrived here on Sunday at noon from Boston, having made the run from that port in less than eleven days, including the stoppage at Halifax.

The Britannia arrived at New York on the 26th ult., and the Cambria was passed on the 20th, midway between Halifax and Boston. The approachin ,, presidential election continued to excite increasing interest. Herrera has been elected president of Mexico. Yucatan is still in a deplorable condition. In consequence of the disturbed state of things at Hayti, all the coloured population were einigratinz; and the business of Port-au-Prince was expected to fall into the hands of foreigners.

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—ThiS delightful place of amusement continues, from judicious management and liberal expenditure in catering for the public, to become every week, as the season advances, more and more at tractive. The proprietors have re-engaged Madame War ton, for the present week, and that distinguished artiste, in addition to the fashionable morning performances, will appear on the evenings of this day, Tueeday, to-morrow, Wednesday, and on Friday, and represent, for the first time in Liverpool, Lady Godica, the Maid of Orleans, and Sappho, all of which have been pronounced by thousands to be inimitable personations—full of elegance, verisimili tude, and classical taste. The programme of the per formances is highly interesting. We may add that the fac-simile of Shakespeare's house, erected on the grounds, continues to be inspected with increased interest and gra titleation ; and the immense modelled view of the Bay and City of New York, lighted by electricity, is another object of wonder and admiration. NEW PEA N FOR CONSUMING, OR PREVENTING SMOKE IN STEAM-ENGINE FURNACES.—WC yesterday visited the cooperage of Mr. James Robertson, No. 113, Great- Howard-street, and inspected the operation of a new plan or apparatus of his invention for the prevention of smoke from steam-boiler flues. Several scientific gentlemen were present, and expressed themsely: s highly gratified by the success of the experiments, which, after what we have recently heard from various parties owning steam works, impress us with s ur p r i se , an d i nsp i re d us w ith a hope hat though former attempts have proved more. or less futile, the grand desideratum may yet be attained—to the great comfort and advantage of the inhabitants of the manufacturing districts. The manner in which Mr. Ro bertson's apparatus is constructed and applied we are of course ignorant of, as lie wisely retains his secret until he can secure himself as the inventor but thus far we may say, that the furnace head, a large, long, cylindrical boiler, has only a short chimney attached ; and that repeated shovelfuls of coal or slack, put on the fire at a time, pro duced little or no perceptible smoke from the top •, the whole of the substance of matter that would form dense smoke being dissipated in thin vapour or gasses, or rather hot hair, which scarcely at all, even in the first instance, discolour or thicken the atmosphere. The inventor and those present were of opinion too that the draught of the flue was greatly improved, and that fully the same quantity of steam could be kept up by the same quantity of fuel. The steamer in the boiler was, without extra ex ertion, kept up to an almost dangerous degree. The ap paratus is, we learn, quite simple and of little cost. Mr. Robertson has been advised by practical men, who have seen the operation of the plan, to bring it under the notice of the magistrates, the Town Council, and other parties interested ; and, assuredly, tke advantages which it pro mises, entitle it to the serious consideration of all who va lue health end comfort in towns or places where steam engines or furnaces are employed. A single piece of china, before it is finished, employs forty bands, from the man who pounds the flint to the designer and colourer. A COMMON DISAPPOINTMENT.—" Large constituen cies," pathetically observed Mr. Brotherton, " always expected their members to say something." And how very often do they speak, and yet, like Juliet, " say nothing !" There is a great reform to be worked in the Commons. We want more work and less talk. Abuses are not to be put down with the like weapon to that with which Samson put down the Philistines. Is there no city—no large constituency sufficiently courageous, in order to show its proper value of taciturnity—is there no electoral body bold enough 4o send for its member to parliament—a dumb man ?—Punch ANECDOTES OP ACTORS.—BiIIy Simpson never would take any medicine; and his medical man was often obliged to resort to stratagem to impose a dose upon him. There is a piece—l do not recollect the name—in which the hero is sentenced in prison to drink a cup of poison. Billy Simpson was playing this character one night, and had given directions to have it filled with port wine; but what was his horror, when he came to drink it, to find that it • contained a dose of senna ! He could not throw it away, as he had to hold the goblet upside down, to show his persecutors that he had drained every drop of it. Simpson drunk the medicine with the slowness cf apoisoned martyr; but he never forgave his medical man this trick, as was fully proved at his death, for he died without paying his bill.—Changefor a Shilling. DERIVATIONS AND USES OF THE ELECTRIC TELE GRAPH.—A remarkably ingenious etymologist has pro posed a derivation for the name of the useful apparatus in question ; which, though plausible, we do not wish to be understood wholly and unreservedly to sanction. He supposes, that in consequence of the comparatively short, and consequently, in a manner, surly answers given by means of the apparatus to _questions asked, that it was' fi r st called—" I like to tell 'ee gruff," of which electric telegraph is a recent corruption. Giving all credit to the learned gentleman for his ingenuity, we have our doubts as to the soundness of his doctrine, which, however, we feel bound to submit to the judgment of our readers. Certain errors as to the nature and functions of the electric telegraph exist, we understand, in the remote and rural districts of this realm, which we are happy, by the present publication, to be enabled to dispel. We have, then to all curious inquirers to say, that it is a popular delu sion to suppose that luggage can be forwarded by telegraph. As absurd is it to climb up one of the poles, put your ear to the wires, and try to catch the intelligence which may be in the course of being transmitted. Neither will any effect be produced by acting like the old lady in Devon shire, who, after rapping at one of the posts with her umbrella, as if to inquire whether the electric fluid were at home, shouted out the message which she intended should be conveyed along the wires. Other absurd myths —relating, however, to the outward and physical ap pearance of the telegraph—have from time to time ati:sen, in primitive, turnip-growing districts, when the wires were seen for the first time stretching along by embank ment and cutting. A strong feeling pervaded one dietrict for some months that the railway company had established an extensive laundry somewhere on the line, and that the poles and wires formed part of the apparatus for drying the shareholders' shirts. The telegraph was in use for some time in the county in question before the public mind had been disabused, and conceived a truthful im pression of the nature of the instrument. —The comic Brads/mu", or Bubbles front the Boiler. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. Monday Night. "It never rains but it pours." The accounts from nearly all quarters are satisfactory. Trifling drawbacks there are, no doubt; but the high position at present held in this country, and the respect which that position has forced upon her neighbours, who look up to her as the arbitress in quarrels which they have proved themselves incapable of deciding, except at an immense sacrifice of life, cannot but have the effect of restoring confidence among ourselves. The determined measures taken against the leaders of the rebel press in Ireland have also been very favourably regarded, particularly on the Liverpool 'Change; and, in consequence of this combina tion of events, trade has greatly improved.. More cotton has been sold to-day than for months past. The Sugar trade is very brisk ; a most important feature in which is, that whatever may be the ultimate advantage derived from the measure relative to the duties, so far, about £500,000 has been paid at the old rate of Euty by f n o , r e e ek ig v a .7h r article as w previouslyillb be steoe seen h b e y a notui our parliamentary report, has again been postponed to this c p i a p r a t t i parties i evening. Consols have risen to an unexpected height, amltpeerrattiieogn the e t having reached 87:1 on Thursday. On Saturday the first quotation of Consols for money was 8 . 4 to 4 r w h ence they rose to 874- to , and then receded to 861 to 87. For the account, the 10th August, the last price was 86-; to 87k. Prices in the STOCK Exchange have fluctuated a good deal during the last week. The daily advance noticed in our last continued until Thursday, in the morning of which day Consols were 87k, London stock 128, and Mid land 108, but. towards evening prices receded a little, and, with the exception of a rally once or twice for a few mo ments, the market remained weak until this morning. TO -DAY, however, all things are decidedly firmer—the buyers preponderate—stock is very scarce, and there is every appearance of a further and steady rise. We give last night's prices in ournsual list. In the Liverpool CORN Market there has been little change in any respect since Friday, and no sales of im portance have taken place, with the exception of Indian Corn and Meal, in which articles we have a regular busi-. ness doing every day. In the English markets the Wheat trade has been firm since our last, with occasional fluctu ations of trifling importance, and other articles have varied but little. In Ireland the markets have been firm, and rather improving than otherwise for all native pro duce ; but the prices of Indian Corn have oscillated, without, at the same time, any material alteration.— Arrivals into this port since Thursday :—Wheat, from Ireland 50 qrs., coastwise. 180; Barley, coastwise 20 qrs.; Malt, coastwise 1115 qrs. ; Indian Corn, United States Meal, coastwise lrelan d l3 l B s9 e o ß b a r r i l s e . y ; coastwise s l e re l l 2 a s n q d r 5 5 . 0 ; Rye, 6600 qrs. ; Oatmeal, Ireland 15 lds. • Flour, Ireland 20 sacks, coastwise 40, Canada 11,587 I;rls., United States 2700. Exports since Thursday:—Wheat, for Ireland Ireland 225 qrs. ; Indian Corn, Ireland 5897 qrs. ; Indian 7 c : o oB a r s nq t'A r :l:e 120 sacks 30 brls. Since Thursday last a large business has been concluded in Sugar, the refiners have purchased the greater part that has been sold ; holders have not been able to obtain former prices. British plantation Sugars are very heavy, the total sales amount to 10,000 bags Manilla at 38s. 9(1., 2500 bags 150 cases low brown Pernarns 345. 6d. to 375., 700 bags good brown 395., 550 cases Bahia 17s. 6d. in bond, 65 cases White Pernams 405., 160 chests Yellow Bengal 375. 6d., 1103 bags low white 393. to 39. 64., 150 hhds.

Old Barbadoes Molasses, offered by auction, IGs. bid, bought in at 17s. ; 500 bales Jute went at £l6 2s. 6d. to £l7 10s. per ton for good to fine quality. 5000 bags of Rice were sold on Saturday at 10s. to 10s. 9d., being very full prices. —Very little activity has prevailed in the London colonial markets this week, and in most articles the transactions have not been extensive. At the large public sales of sugar the importers, in order to sustain prices, were compelled to buy in a portion, but generally, up to Friday evening, a decline of 6d. to ls. per cwt. had taken place, compared with the previous week's rates. Some grocery has been realised at a decline of 2s. per cwt. Bengal has, on the whole, maintained a firmer appearance than most other descriptions. The gross sum paid at the Customs on Thursday and Friday on foreign clayed sugars, in anti cipation of the contemplated alteration in the duty, amounts to £243.000, representing about 13,000 tons. The information with which we ore generally favoured respecting the TIMBER trade, has from some- unforeseen circumstance missed delivery this afternoon ; we will, therefore, content ourselves with referring cur readers to. several notices of sales, by Messrs.Chaloncr and Fleming, which will be found in our advertising columns. In foreign WOOL there is no change to notice ; the business doing is exceedingly limited, but on the whole. the trade appears brighter. Imports f or th e wee k : Foreign—Oporto 76, 'Bombay 425 ; previously, 40,885 ; total, 41,386. Scotch, 410; previonsly, 5,557; total, 5,967. . _ The revival which has taken piece in the Cerro:: trade this week is so decided that hopes are entertained of a permanent improvement in that branch of trade; and it is not unlikely, on the establishment of an enlarged system of operations with the Continent, which the prospect of peace seems to render probable, as doubtless both the raw and manufactured article must at pre3eet be much wanted there, that we shall experience an epoch of prosperity which we have not known for some years. During the last few days the sales have been extensive ; the total sales for the week ending Friday were,-to the trade, 28,810 bags; exporters had taken 6,240 American, 760 : Pernam, and 100 Surat, and speculators 3,300 American, . making the total sales 39,210 begs. As the market was only indifferently supplied, an advance of 4d. per lb. on co:nmon and middling qualities of American was generally established, while in the better qualities owing to their scarcity, the advance has been greater. There has been a good attendance of country buyers AT OUR 'MARKET Tee. DAY, which continues exceedingly steadyand regular at the full prices of Friday, with less choice in Cotton, at and under 4d., which is most in demand. The advices per " America " have had no perceptible influence. The sales are estimated at 8,000 to 10.000 bales, of which about 3,000 have been taken on speculation and for export. There has been more activity in the Glasgow Pig IRON , Market during the last week than for some time past. Prices have advanced 25. per ton. The present rates for good brands, mixed numbers, are 465. 6d. per ton at Glasgow ; Gartsherrie, No. 1, 475. 475. 6d., nett cash prompt. Mostarticles in theAm EMI c eel Provision trade have suffered some depreciation this week, with the exception of Beef and Grease Butter, of the former of which a good portion of the recent arrivals have been taken at former rates, and the latter has advanced ss. per cwt. We have had large arrivals of Pork, with a limited demand for ship stores, at a reduction of from 2s. to 6s. at the extremity of the ranges. The large Quantity of Bacon brought for ward on Tuesday tended to depress prices in a similar proportion, notwithstanding which there was but little sold ; a fair business has, however, been done since. Hams and Shoulders are still in good demand, but last week's prices have not been realised. There has been a good,' business done in Lard at a decline of about Is. per cwt. on the lower qualities. About 1000 boxes of Cheese, or dinary quality, were sold on Tuesday, at 38s. 6d., and a very inferior parcel at 225. to 245. Present prices are,- cheese-(duty paid)-Fine, -s to -s per cwt. ; middling; 40s to 436 ; ordinary, 353 to 38s, (free)-Prime 40s to GOs; extra, India, family, mess, per tree. 3041 b., Sys to 92s Cd ; or di nary, EN to 83s, old &c., Os to 105 s; ditto, per half-barrel, 30a to 35s ,•-mess, I , ^r barrel, 2001 b., 50s to 56s ; ordinary, 40s to 465, old 36s to 40s; prime, 34s to 365.

Buffer-Grease, (free,) 45s to 50s per cwt. Pilot Biscuit (duty paid)-15s to 20s per cwt. The hum' Butter market has improved a little since our last notice, and the demand has increased on the part of dealers in the midland district, though mainly for fine Southern brands, on which is. advance in some cases has been realised; middling qualities are, how ever, still dull of sale. Bacon and Hams are little inquired after. Lard is in a somewhat better de mand. The arrivals for the week ending this day are :- Butter, 4322 firkins, 1400 crocks ; Bacon, 37 bales ; Hams, 5 hhds. ; Lard. 4 tierces, 120 kegs.

The last return from the Bank of England states that the amount of notes in circulation is £17,581,085, being an increase of £52,150; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £14,418,253, showing an increase of £110,439 when compared with the preceding return. The B?ussels papers state that the trade of Belgium for the first five months of the present year, compared with the same period of 1847, does not exhibit such disastrous results as might have been anticipated from the events which have recently occurred. The Three per Cents closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday at 51f. 50c.; the Five per Cents. 79f. INTERESTING EXAMINATION.—On Friday last, • the annual examination of the schools at .Crewe, belonging to the London and North-Western Ra ilway Company ter minated. The examination was conducted by the Rev. W. Butler, Incumbent of Christ Church, Crewe ; Rev_ Cheater, Rector of Namptwich; and the Rev. Th omas Gardner, Old Swan. The examination, which extended, over several weeks, was in every respect highly satisfac tory, and great credit is due to the maste r an d m i s t ress , especially the latter. The girls worked sums in com pound proportion and practice.
