CAPITAL, £120.000, in 4,800 SHARES, of £25 each. DEPOSIT, £1 10s. PER SHARE. tlll-11S Railway, by a Junction with the St. Helens Line, will complete th , ! Railway communication between the favourite watering-place of Southport and Manches ter, Liverpool, end the densely populated manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as Birming ham. and the other large towns communicating with the Grand Junction Railway. It. is brought out under the Hospices of the Liverpool and Manchester and St. Helens Railway Companies, and wite these Companies arrangements have been made for the purpose of securing a minimum dividend of four per cent, to the Shareholders of the proposed Line, together with an equal division of all profits beyond this amount. Independently of the revenue to be derived from the large number of Passengers who now frequent the rapidly increasing town of Southport, the Local Passenger Traffic, and the carriage of Agricultural Produce, the Line, for the greater portion of its di,tance. will pass through the tich and extensive Coal-fields of Rainford, Bickerstaffe, and Lathoin where several Collieries are already opened, arid new ly the whole of the produce of which district must use the improved mode of transit to be furnished by th;s Line. The income of the proposed Line, which has been estimated from the present tr.lfic, and at a much lower rate than the ordinary Parliamentary rule, shows a nett profit, after an ample allowance for working expenses, of upwards of six per cent. on the contemplated outlay. The Line which has been selected is entirely free from engineering difficulties, and the Provisional Committee feel perfect confidence in stating that the cost, including the preliminary expenses and the m cessary Stations, will not exceed the Capital of "X 120,000. This Capital is proposed to be rained in 4,800 Shares, of £25 each, and a deposit of £1 10s. per Share will be re quired on taking the same. No further call will be made till the Act is obtained, and interest to the amount of Four per Cent. will be al lowed on all payments from the passing of the Act to the opening of the Line. Shareholderstin the St. Helens Railway will have a pre- ference in the allotment of the Shares, application for which must be addressed, on or before the 15th day of October instant, to M r. WHITLEY, Solicitor, High-street, Liverpool, or to the Secretary of the Company, at the Rail way-office, St. Helens. • By order of Provisional Committee, • ARTH Ult SINCLAIR, Secretary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To Me Provisional Committee of Me SI. Helens and Southport Railway Company. I request that you will allot tee Shares in the pro posed St—Helens and Southport Railway; and I agree to tike such Shares, or so many thereof as may- be aPoted to me, and to pay the deposits thereon, and to execute the Pat liamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required so to do. • Name . • ..

Its recovery, preservation, and improvement, proportionably concern the elegantes of our fashionable circles, and any information which will ensure these desirable results will be hailed as an inesti mable boon. The following extract from the letter of a respectable chemist in Bridlington - will be read with the highest interest :—" A lady, a customer of mine, has found great benefit from the use of your Balm. About six months ago her hair nearly all fell off. f recom mended her to try your Balm of Columbia, which she did. In the course of a few applications the hair ceased to fall off. Before she had used one 3a. 6d. bottle it be gan to grow very profusely, and she has now a beautiful bead of Hair. I am, gentlemen, yours•respectfully, "'WM.

WOOLTON FLORAL, HORTICULTURAL, AND AGRICULTURAL MEETING. The last Woolton Meeting of the Season, for the Show of Dahlias, Plants. Fruits, &c., took place on Thur-day ►ast. The marquee was very gaily adorned with flags, evergreens, decorative plants. and devices. The day was fine and the company numerous and select, comprising many of the most distinguished individuals and families of the locality. Of the show we may say that it equalled, and in some departments surpassed any former exhibition there, thus proving the beneficial effect of the Society in exciting honourable and useful competition, not only amongst the wealthier cultivators of the soil, but, we. are glad to add, amongst the humbler farmers and the cottagers of the neighbourhood. Amongst the rarer exotics, were two fine specimens sent by R. Alison, Esq., of the Aschynanthus Gendiflora,—one trained in a flat form, and another, more interesting to our taste, growing pendant from a pot. The Pelargoniums were very fine for the advanced period of the season; but the Dahlias neither quite so fine on the whole, nor so numerous as at the last autumnal show. Several well grown perfect blooms were, howeeer, contributed by R. W. Preston, and T. Rawson, Esqrs. The Roses were es pecially worthy of notice; some years ago we could not have seen a collection of this Queen of. British Flowers of such taried hues, beauty, and variety. There a ere some splen did Cape Heaths. particularly ; hose flowering in concentra ted bunches. The fruits brought up were excellent. A splendid dish of black grapes was shown, from the gardens of Ambrose Lace, Esq. The peaches were very large and tempting, perticularly those sent by Mr. Blunt of the head inn, who was also successful in other specimens of garden production, including splendid red cabbage. The apples were abundant, and nearly all of very fine kinds. We should say, judging from the several recent shows we have visited. that the general crop this year will be above the usual aver age, in quantity as well as quality. The vegetables were also abundant and excellent, as s ere the field productiops, especially the Mengel Wortzel, many roots of which were of great s'ze. There was an interesting collection of simple British plants, contributed by a bey named Samuel H itch mough, of Hale, which did him great credit. Amongst them was a specimen of the carrot in its original unim proved state, and the comparison Letween it and the fine specimens of the same species, after years of culture, ex hibited in a remarkable degree the effects of horticuitaral skill. We noticed some fine well arranged baskets and boxes of plants. and cut flowers; and amongst the devices a crown, wrought like rug work, in dahlias, &c , with the motto over it of " Lone live the Queen !—also a splendid crown jewelled with brilliant flowers. The Woolton Band was in attendance, and played a variety of airs and pieces. evincing great improvement since they first appeared.— The tent was very spacious, and the whole of the arrange ments of the committee all that could be wished. Though the season was so late there were fine dishes of cherries and strawberries. The receipts at the door were nearly three times as much as on any previous occasion ; and although the tent was nearly doublein size to that. at the last two meetings, it is expected that in future it must be further enlarged. In the following list of the principal prizes, we have (tn save room) put "Ist" and " 2nd," and to signify "hest" and "second best," &c. 'Manta'.

For the latter, which is of fair quality, £6 per ton is demanded. CHEAP TRIP.—We perceive from the Bristol papers thas a cheap train was to leave Gloucester, Cheltenham, Birmingt am, &c., yesterday for this town. The fare is only 16s. 6d. for both coming and returning, the distance being 298 miles. MERSEY YACIIT Ceure—The - hon. secretary has re ceived a notification from Sir J. Barrow, Secretary to the Admiralty, granting permission for the vessels to carry the blue ensign of her Majesty's Flret, with the dis tinguishing marks of the club, which, we believe, will be a Liver and Crown, in the fly of the ensign. • FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.—DUT. ing the past week the following persons of distinction ar rived at the Adelphi Hotel, and, after a brief stay, took their departure for carious places!—The Earl and Countess of Cardigan, Lord Abinger, the Hon.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—On Saturday a young female, named Ann Maguire, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having stolen Bs. 6d., the pro perty of Lawrence Livesay, publican, of Charter -street, Vauxhall-road.

PROPOSED RAILWAY BRIDGE AT RUNCORN.—The directors of the Grand Junction Railway, with the view of shortening their line, are again consideringthe desirable ness of carrying the railway across the Mersey at some point lower down the river than Warrington. The point now thought of is Runcorn ; and it is prop ose d t o e ff ect this passage there by means of a bridge or viaduct. rising a hundred feet above the level of the river. Should this plan be carried out, it will shorten the distance between Liverpool and Birmingham several miles, b u t i t i s sa i d that it will be opposed by parties interested in the navi gation of the river. SALE OF AMERICAN HAY.—On Wednesday last a sale of American hay, per the Liverpool, from New York; took place on the north quay of the Waterloo Dock. The attendance was not numerous, though the bidding was, on the whole, tolerably spirited. The hay waQ considered of rather inferior quality. The quantify offered was 210 bales, divided, for the convenience of purchasers, into 21 lots, of 10 bales each. The first lot went off at e?,:d. per stone : the next seventeen were knocked down at 7d., and the three remaining lots at 7. Tare was allowed at the rate of 251bs. per hale; and parties were to remove their purchases on the day of sale. It was stated that there had been a loss by the sale of from 30 to 40 per cent. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—On Thursday last, the Rev. Welter Butler, A.M., minister of St. Thomas' Church. Toxteth-park, was presented with a superb suite of robes—made at the establishment of Howarth and Co., Bold - street —accorn panied with thefol lo wing valuablebooks : —Polii Synopsis , a H ebrew 'Concord ance, and Alison's History of Europe—by the churchwar dens, Messrs. Wm. Wainwright WOrthington and Charles II unton, seri., in the name of the congregation. who have availed themselves of this opportunity of testifying their sincere and grateful attachment to a minister of the Gospel, whose only object is the salvation of the flock committed to his charge, and a fervent desire to expound with simplicity and faithfulness the sacred Scriptures, and make their efficacy felt in the densely populated dis trict in which the church is situated. His devoted attach ment to the cause of Christ, one of whose faithful ambas sadors hp is, and the bold Christian deportment by which he defends that cause, render it impossible to streak in adequate terms, or to present any testimonial equivaleht to the rt4pect and spiritual love he entertains for his con gregation. MEETING OF THE COUNCIL.—At the usual monthly meeting of the council;to-morrow, the proceedings of the Watch Committee will comprise the appointment of as sessors for the lighting. and cleansinc; rates for 1844-5 ; the appointment of collectors of the collectors of tse lighting nod cleansing, rates for 1811-5; the appointment of col lectors of the Fire-police rates, in the new parts of the borough, for 1844-5; and the proceedings for laying the usual Fire-police rate of one halfpenny in the pound for the same period. The proceedings of the Health Com mittee will corny rise the appointment of Inspector Fresh to the Town hall duty, under the Mayor, Health of the Town and Finance Committees, and the Town-clerk and Prosecuting Solicitor, at the salary of £lOO, besides clothing, which subject was postponed at the last monthly Council, pursuant to the standing orders. The Coroner's account for the month, amounting to £6l Ils. 6d., will also come under consideration. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—On Tuesday, Jas. Taylor, formerly commission agent. Dale-street, applied to Mr. Commissioner Phillips for his cer Meat , . Mr. Bardswell opposed the application, on behalf of Messrs. Jones and Martin, Maltsters, of Shrewshury, to whom the bankrupt was indebted in the sum of £215, for malt sent for sale to Liverpool on commission. The grounds of ovposition were, that the bankrupt sold the malt and pocketed the proceeds, which should have been immediately trans mitted to Shrewsbury, after deducting the amount of the commission. The bankrupt was examined at considerable length, and from his answers it appeared that he had some connexion with a person of the name of Henry Burton, in the month of November, last year. He was connected with him in various joint accounts, and allowed him half the profits. but he did not consider him in the light of a partner. It appeared that the malt in question was sold to Burton, and bills drawn for the amount. The case stands adjourned for a month. Mr. Radcliffe appeared for the bankrupt. GlTANo.—Since our last two cargoes of Ichaboe have arrived at this port. One cf them was offered by auction on Thursday, when the first lot sold at £6 55., and the remainder were taken in for want of 'livers. The soles of the week are about 100 tons, at £6 2s. W. to £6 55., chiefly at the latter price. For delivery the first three months of next year, several cargoes have been sold at £6 to £6 2s. 63. The Wave has arrived at the Clyde, with a cargo from Mercury Island, the quality of which appears equal to that of Ichaboe. It was to he offered, by public -ate. on Friday, the result of which has not come to hand. The following is an authentic account cf Mercury Island : —in lat. 25 -12 south, long. 14 58 east. It is a mile in cir cumference, and three-quarters of a mile from the south west point of Spencer's Bay, and one mile and a half from the northwest point of that bay. Both passages are easy to take, and perfectly clear. The best anchorage is on the east side of the island, one-and-a-half cable's length from it , : shore, in five fathoms, on a bottom of sand and clay. Near the full and change of the moon a heavy swell often sets into the south part of the bay, and renders it there unsafe for anchorage. There can be li tle doubt that, like Ichaboe, Mercury Island is stocked with guano. A RADICAL EDITOR'S OPINIOS OF THE "LIVER POOL MERCURY. " —It may he supposed that in noticing from time to tine the inconsistencies and follies of the Liverpool Mercury, we, entertaining opposite opinions in politics, have given .a colouring to our expositions which were not altogether warranted by the facts. We are certainly not aware of having ever permitted our judgemeNt to be warped by such considerations, or that we have ever even stretched a point to overthrow our re d,,ubt•ible antagonist. We found, indeed, no occasion to rasort to such a mode of warfare, even had we been in clined to take such undue advantage. But we are not s!rigelar in our opinions of the absurdities put forth by the Mercury. Even his co. mate in radicalism, theMon chester Guardian. and his readers, have lo:,t all patience wi h him. That journal of Saturday last commences an article in the following complimentary terms :—" We are almost tired, arid so. we dare say, are our readers, of the foolish twaddle of the Liverpool Vercury, in reference to the division on the writ of error, but we connot per mit ourselves to be grossly misrepresented"—and the writer goes on to show that a passage in the Mercury (which he quotes) "is not an error or a misconception, but a gross and wilful misrepresentation." The Guardian, in fact, never stated that which the Mercury imputed to him, nor anything from which the assumption could he inferred. H e proceeds by exposing " the nonsense which had appeared in the columns of the Mercury, and which showed about as much ignorance of facts, and of all the legal principles applicable to the case under discussion, as anything that has come under our notice." The Guardian, art , r noticing another instance of the ignorance of the Mercury on the subject on Friday last, concludes with these additional compliments:—" As the editor of the Mcrcury is evidently quite innocent of any knowledge upon the subject, we beg to refer him to the third section of the introduction to Blackstone's Commentaries, which he may read with a double advantage to himself; namely, fist. in learning what he does not know ; and, secondly, in the acquisition of what he wants, namely, a little mo desty in treating of legal questions with respect to which, generally, his knowledge is very much behind that of moderately well-informed and educated rren." Poor Mercury ! He is surely falling, 'And we may expect stormy weather. It was bad enough to provoke the hosti lity of opponents in polities; but to be written down as uttering foolish twaddle from week to week, being guilty ofgrossand wi Ifni misrepresentation, and being totally igno rant of the subj , et with which he had the temerity to grapple—and that . , too, by a journalist of equal standing, with whom he has so 'cm; sailed in the same boat—surely this "was the unkiOdliest cut of all!" LAUNCH OF A SPLENDID NEW IRON STEAMER.-011 Saturday, at neon, a new iron steamer, that has been about 7 months in course of corntrintion, was launched from the building yard of Messrs. Vernon and Co. Barrack.: treet. Every inch of available space. from whence a sight could he obtained, was densely crowded, and a commodious stage was erected at her bows, on which a select party were accomodated, amongst wh om was Miss Curtis, daughter of Mr. Curtis, of th e fi rm o f Bury, ' Curtiser Kennedy, the builders of her engines, niece of Sir W . Curtis, Bart., on wh om was conferred the honour ofchris . - tening her. At high water the several orders were given, "out keys,"—" out wedges," anti " down daggers," when, without the slightest hesitation, nr any continual clattering of hammers, sh e move d gracefully, amidst the ociferous cheers of assembled thousands, to the bosom of that element, on which, we trust, she may long and suc cessfully ply. She wits named the " Sabrina," and car ries a beautifully carved full-length figure of that charac ter. The Sabrina is 519 tons hurthen 0.m., 175 feet long bet wee n perpendicular 5,25 feet 3 inchesbeam , and has 15 feet depth of hold; she is divided into five compartments, by watertight hulk heads, thus securing her safety in case of collision. She is what may be termed a splendid model : she ha , a clean entrance, giiod bearings, and a fine run ; and the displacement of water she causes, when compared with the cargo she will carry, is surprisingly small. filer stem, if in iron vessels the term is admissible, is carried from the water-line in what carpenters would call a beau tiful "ogee," thus giving her a width of deck room for ward that could not otherwise be obtained. In fine, she has below all the sharpness of a clipper schooner, and aloft all the room y dec's of an American merchantman, without the unseemly squareness of . their bows, a pl an t h at, in our opinion, g i ves her the manifold advantages of de c k room and a buoyancy over her water-line that would, were she going bead to sea, prevent h er being a wet cra f t . Sh e is the first vessel constructed w ih Kennedy and Vernon's patent deck beams and side frames, which combine the morir'intun of streneth with th e minimum of weight, and are greatly superior to tt e ordinary angle iron us; d. The Sabrii.a has beautifully carved stem and quarter galle ries. and a graceful scrolled:carved work runs forward from the &tire heal round the hawse holes.

There is but very little new to report this week. Our market has remained firm throughout the week, with a fair amount of business doing, more estiecially in goods suited to the home market. Yarns are also in fair demand at firm prices ; and in counts suited to the Indian market a good business is doing. The demand for piece goods suited to the American markets is good, but prices s..em to have a downward tendency. On the whole, we may say that our trade is in a very Healthy state, and that there is every prospect of a good winter's trade, and that prices will be fully maintained. This may be accounted for from the lowness of stocks, which were never lighter thin at the present time. In this state of commercial affairs, the operatives have applied to the masters for an advance of wages, and in most cases have succeeded. Thenurnher of persons out of emp l oymen t i s f ewer th an a t this period of the year previously. SHARE MARKET.—TIC Share Market has been very active during the week, and a considerable amount of bu siness has been transacted. On Tuesday last the inquiry was particularly brisk, arid the sales throughout the week have been very n umerous. T he market is very firm to day, with a fair amount of hnsiness doin , >. The following are the sales up to the time of post :L.Criurnet Val:ey, 4-,1- II ; Blackburn, Burnley, and Accrinetoti, 4 ; Lou and and York, 3 1:3-16; Dover, 39 1 1 ; Eastern Coun ties registered, l 3 ; Birmingham quarters, 5 ; Water Works, 601; Assurance, In- cumaq. SOUTH LANCASHIRE REGISTRATION. The interest which all classes of politicians have taken in the registration courts is but 1 tile, it any, abated. William Eckerslev, the objector-general to the League, has been struck off the list, by Mr. Mathews, in conse quence of his qualification being wrong described iii the re gister. On the oth, r hand, Mr. Brandreth has decided the description to be good, and th,refore h , plds that all his objections are valid. How these contradictory decishins are to be reconciled yet remains to be seen. The deci sion of Mr. Mathews, however, will have the effect of setting aside upwards of 1,500 objections made by Eckersley in this district. The Duke of Grafton died on Saturday, at Euston 'Jail, Suffolk, at the advanced age of eight•-four. He is succeeded in his title and estau a by the Earl of Euston. SPAlN.—Accounts have been received from - Biy,,nne to the 25th ult., which state that the reconciliation - be tween the principal men of the Esparterist and Progres ista parties was complete, and that their was every reason to fear that their united en eavours would ere long suc ceed in producing a new insurrection in Spain. RE-OPENING OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE, UNDER THE MANAGEMENT A' MR WEBSTER AND MADAME CELESTE.—On Swurday, this pet theatre, which has been closed for the last six months, was re-opened under the auspices of the enterpri,ing lessees of our own Theatre Royal, Mr. 'Webster and Madame Celeste, Mrs. - Yates, the former fair menagt ress con , inuing her services as the leader of the female acting department. The theatre was crowded ott the occasion. An address having been delivered be Mrs. Yates, from the pen of Mr. Gilbert, the curtain rose and discovered the whole of the dramatic company, who sang the national anthem, amid-t warm demonstrations of loyalty. Mad. Celeste, the new manager, was in the centre, on the arm of Mr. Webster, the lessee. Paul Bedford, 0.

Jacob Smith, Wesleyan Minister .t Sunder. land, was drownrd on Thursday Zest, whilst bathing in the sca at the North Sand, between Sunderland and Whitburn. DREADFUL AFFRAY.—Last week a scuffle took place between two men, named Tansy .and Martin, at Halifax, during which A.lartin gave Ta , ,sy a eomplete swing round against the wall ; and the poi, t of a knife in Tan , y's hand being in the direction of Mirlin's left ear, the latter, during the turn at the wall, drove his head against it with great force, lansy's eln.w resting at tie time ogainst the wall, thus giving a double force to the contact with the knife, which entered just below the left ear, and inflicting a dreadful wound, from which the man died on Tuesday. A HINT TO OUR CABMEN.- - According to a report of the Prefect of Police of Paris, the hackney-coach drivers of that capital deposited in the hands of the authorities 18,079 f. in money, and articles to the value of 22.7191., in all 40,8161., left by mistake in their vehicles during the year 1843. LIDY CIGAR SMOKERS OF MExtco.—Of all the petty vices practised by tbe 'Mexicans, vicio inocente o f smoking among tidies is the most intolerable ; and it is ,a habit of which the loveliest and most relined equally rar take. The puro or rigarro is seen to the mouth of all ; it is handed round in the parlour. and introduced at the dinner table. Even in the ball-room it is ',resented to ladies as regularly as any other speci , s of "refreshment:" and in the dance the senorita may often he seen whirlin, round wilt a lighted etgarrito in her mouth. the belles of the southern cities are frequently furnished with !elm ritas de et.° (little golden tongs) to hold the cigar with, SO as to prevent their delicate fingers from he porute'd either with the stain or scent of ' ttibsicco, forgetting, at the same time, its isagreeable effects upon the lips ;rid breath. —Gregg's Northern Mexico.
