He had been under Ipe care of different gentlemen of th medical rofession, com all the skill and talent of this neighbour p hood. He was also a patient for ten months in the Liverpool Infirmary, and Cx months at the Dispensary: but there the combined skill of the most eminent of the faculty was defeated, as the individual exertions had before been. As a last effort he was placed under the care of Mr. Taylor, who succeeded in effecting a perfect cure, and he is now well, healthy, clean, and strong, and likely to have a good head of hair.

The astonishing success which has owned the application of this external Medicine in the mo hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer I d despaired of ever gaining even the least, relief, and this aft the ablest advice and every other means had completely f • ed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicin so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the. least d • er 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 labouting under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic dont, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. _ _ _ Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow ing testimonials :- 14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.

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.

I have hitherto had a prejudice aga inst having 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 .ondon and Paris I was induced by a friend to inc.ke a trial of your liquid, called " Seijeant'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 nam. 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 yon offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks I am yours, HENRI VILLENNEVE, Sold by Pendlebury, B.ussell.street ; Titherington, Oxford. street; Hogarth, Great George-street; Fisher, Bold-street; Coupland, Parker-street ; Gerrard, Oldhall-street ; Parkinson, New Scotiand-road ; Neal.

Established in the year 1793. AMERICA. 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 Halithx. She left Boston ou the 28th ult., and has brought £3,000 in specie and 103 passengers. The Britannia arrived at New York on the 26th ult., and the Cambria was passed on the 29th, midway between Halifax and Boston. The approaching 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 emigrating, and the business of Port-au-Prince was expected to fall into the hands of foreigners. The negroes are reported to have hadabloody fight nearJacmel, in which about 200 men and children were killed. Their blood was drunk by the maddened wretches who slew them. _ _ Cotton holders continue to ask former rates, butbuyers are holding off in anticipation of a decline. The flour market continues in a dull state, the supply being more than equal to the demand. The reports of the growing crops continue favourable. There is no domestic news of any importance. The New York Courier states that it has received positive information that the Treaty is not only ratified and the ratifications exchanged, but that several detach ments of our army returning from Mexico have already reached the United States. Exchange on England, 1091, to 110; Treasury Notes, 1041 ; United States' Sixes of 67, 1041 ; Ohio Sixes, 1001 ; Pennsylvania Fives, 76. Money market rather tight.

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, Tuesday, to-morrow, Wednesday, and on Friday, and represent, for the first time in Liverpool, Lady Godiva, 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 prosramme of the per formances is highly interesting. Vt e may add that the fac-simile of Shakespeare's house, erected on the grounds, continues to be it.ape,ted With increased interest and gra otiotideactiiotny ; 0 f an N ef ew th ic e o i r mo l e i n gi s i Lm n e v de t ltd tr v iis ie i t w y. . of is t a h n e ot ß h a e v r object of wonder and admiration. NEW PLAN FOR CONSUMING, OR PREVENTING SMOKE IN STEAM-ENGINE FURNACES.—We 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 themselves highly gratified by the success of the experiments, which, after what we have recently heard from various parties owning steam works, impress us with surprise, and inspired us with a hope that 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 he 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 and comfort in towns or places where steam engines or furnaces are employed. A single piece of china, before it is finished, employs forty hands, 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 to send for its member to parliament—a dumb man ?-Punch ANECDOTES OF AcTotts.—Billy 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 ye it filled with port wine ; but what was his horror, when lie came to drink it, to find that it contained a dose of scnna! 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 of 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 first 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 tt.l 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 arisen 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 district for some months that the railway company had established an extensive laundry somewhere on the line, and that the t p l o ie lea sh a e nd wires reholder s,forme dshirts. p l aT h t e of te t le h g e arraappphNaytaisis in n or d us r e y ig f n or 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 Bradshaw, 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 hey 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 duty by parties importing the foreign article previously to the anti cipated alteration last weak, which, as will be seen by our parliamentary report, has again been postponed to this evening. Consols have risen to an unexpected height, having reached 871 on Thursday. On Saturday the first quotation of Consols for money was 875 to ia whence they rose to 874- to a ' and then receded to 861 to 87. For the account, the 10th August, the last price was 865 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 875, 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 our usual 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 6600 qrs. ; Oatmeal, Ireland 15 Ids. ; Flour, Ireland 20 sacks, coastwise 40, Canada 11,587 Nis., United States 2700. Exports since Thursday :—Wheat, for Ireland 708 qrs., coastwise 138 ; Barley, coastwise 125 qrs. ; Rye, Ireland 225 qrs. ; Indian Corn, Ireland 5897 qrs. ; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 1590 brls. ; Flour, Ireland 50 brls., coastwise 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. 9d., 2500 bags 150 cases low brown Pernams 34 5 . 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. Gd., 1100 bags low white 395. to 39. Gd., 150 hhds. Barbadoes 38s. to 435., 70 hhds. Cuba, and 60 hhds. Jamaica: the market for B. P. closes rather heavily. 2000 bags native Ceylon Coffee realised 30s. per cwt. ; a parcel of Laguayras 325. ; 200 puns. Old Barbadoes Molasses, offered by auction, 16s. 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 are generally favoured respecting the TIMBER trade, has from some unforeseen circumstance missed delivery this afternoon; we will, therefore, content ourselves with referring our readers to several notices of sales, by Messrs.Clialoner and Fleming, which will be found in our advertising columns. In foreign Wool, there is no chinge to notice ; the business doing is exceedingly limited, but on the whole the trade appears brighter. Imports for the week : Foreign—Oporto 76, Bombay 425 ; previously, 40,885 ; total, 41,386. Scotch, 410; previously, 5,557; total, 5,967. _ _ _ The revival which has taken place in the CurTo:st 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 pre3ent 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, makinc , the total sales 39,210 bags. As the market was only itidifferently supplied, an advance of id. per lb. on z n n i i: i l i T he a a n . d w m bi i i d e dl i i n ng th q e ua b li e t t ie te s r of4 a m n e t r i ic s an ovl w i a ng s ge to ne t r h al e l i y r scarcity, the advance has been greater. there has been a good attendance of country buyers AT our:. MARKET TO 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 ittorr Market during the last week than for some time past. Prices have advanced 2s. 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. Most articlesin theAmEßlCANProvision 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 nuantity 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 ls. 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.

The Nisi' Butter market has improved a little since our last notice, and the demand has increased on the part of dealers in the midland district, thotigh mainly for fine Southern brands, on which ls. 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.

INTERESTING EXAMINATION.—On Friday last, the annual examination of the schools at Crewe, belonging to the London and North-Western Railway 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. Thomas Gardner, Old Swan. The examination, which extended over several weeks, was in every respect highly satisfac tory, and great credit is due to the master and mistress, especially the latter. The girls worked sums i n com pound proportion and practice. This shows th e s t an di ng of the school : and with regard to the Scriptural know ledge of both boys and g irls, one of the reverend gentle men was pleased to say, that they (the clergy) have to attend a divinity class for three years before going through such an ordeal.
