RMURRA in returning his thanks to the Inhabitants • of Liverpoo l ' and its Vicinity for the patronage he has received since his commencement in the above Establish ment, begs leave to state that, owing to a great increase in the Wholesale Department, he is declining the Retail Trade. R. M. wishes to intimate to Families and Housekeepers, that his Stock consists of the best Articles in the Trade, such as have given general satisfaction to the public heretofore. The Linen Department will be found of the very best ma terial ; also in Blankets, Counterpanes, Marseilles, Toilet, and Imperial Quilts, he h as an endless variety at such reduced prices that never was offered before to the public. An early call is solicited, as the time for disposing of the Stock is limited. WHOLESALE FOREIGN ORDERS ATTENDED TQ AS USUAL, WITH CARE AND DESPATCH. FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION, AND EM BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR. ADDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC or FAMILY H AIR IVA- OIL has stood the test of thirty years, and is patro nised by the most illustrious personages. . It is held in high estimation at the Toilet as a Family Hair Oil ; it is of in estimable worth, and will preserve the Hair from infancy to old age. J. M. need not caution the Public. The Hair Oils by which the country is inundated are already cried down by persons who have, in all probability, supplied them ; the trash, as so represented, is injurious in the extreme ; the dryness it produces, as well as turning the Hair grey, not unfrequently produce headache. The Botanic or Family Oil is distinguished from every other by its emolient and nutri tious properties ; it preserves the scalp agreeably cool, and it is an undoubted fact that, with the growth of Hair, the health is improved. The mode now adopted for the sale of the Botanic or Family Hair Oil will undoubtedly affect the London trade, and probably reform it. J. M. will person all y appoint his A gents' over England ;he will advertise his Oil, stating facts only, which his Agents will warrant; and he assures his customers, no fraud will be attempted by false representation. But how different is the London trade : the proprietors depend on the advertisement alone—the vendors are not accountable—thus is the country inundated with trash which no person is answerable for. The following statement cannot fail to give a confidence of the superior efficacy of the Botanic Oil :—From 1820 to 1830 J. Middlewood's genuine botanic oil was interdicted by government, on the ground that it possessed properties, and performed such cures of baldness, as brought it within the meaning of the patent medicine act, and not until its great utility in preserving the hair was submitted to parliament, could a legal sale be effected. The petition presented, met with the kindest attention. and the chancellor of the exche quer exempted it from the medicine duty, to be sold under the denomination of hair oil. The petition was presented by the Right Hon. Wm. Huskisson, on the 10th April, 1830, while Mr. Goulburn was chancellor of the exchequer. The Botanic Oil is sold at 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., in boxes ; also, for the Toilet, 10s. per bottle. Mr. RENNIE, Lord-street, has received a fresh supply. Parker-street, Liverpool. pRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, price Is. Lid..per box.—This excellent Family Pill is a Medicine of long tried efficacy for correcting all Disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Lou of Appetite, Sick Head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after , meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, Indigestion producing a To' pid State of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The Stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health,. will be the quick result of taking this Medicine according to the directions accompanying each box. These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Cqughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages ; and if taken after too free an indulg ence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of FULL HABIT, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be with out them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. FOR FEMALES, these Pills are most truly excellent, re moving all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex ; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. . To MOTHERS, they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that cau be taken during pregnancy : and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, easy Aperient, they unite the recom mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no restraint of diet or confinement during their use. By regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either se x, that can be required ; and for ELDERLY PEOPLE they will be found to be the most comfortable Medicine hitherto prepared.

SIR WILLIAM BUR4sIETT'S PATENT FOR THE PRESERVATION OF TIMBER, CANVAS, COR DAGE, COTTON, WOOLLEN, &c. FROM DRY ROT, MILDEW, MOTH, AND PREMATURE. DECAY. The value of this discovery has been amply proved in Her Majesty's Dockyards and elsewhere. Official Reports, and Specimens of Wood, Canvas, and other Articles, may be seen at the Office. The process is simple, inexpensive, and per fectly innoxious in its use. As applied to Shipbuilding, it purifies bilge water, and retards oxydation of metals. By the process green wood may be rapidly seasoned. The Patent Material may be purchased, or Licenses for Tanks granted to Noblemen, Gentlemen, Builders, Upholsterers, Piano-forte Makers, Sailmakers, and others : when for pur poses of trade, on very advantageous terms for the licensed. Timber of all dimensions, Planking, Canvas, Cordage, Ships' Sails, Awnings, Rick Cloths, Tents, and all other articles of Linen and Woollen Manufacture, are received for preparation at the Proprietors' Waterside Premises, Copenhagen Wharf, Britannia Bridge, Limebouse.

Al OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or Habitual Costiveness, Tiles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable cure and preventive of Gout. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost unprecedented sale which it has obtained has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled' persons, who are always ready to take advantage of the popularity of another's invention ; and this medicine has therefore been very exten sively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its pro perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has `i Mozon and Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engrav'ed on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparatio Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its va nble properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many members of the medical profession, (among others those of Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an i nva l ua bl e companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary student ; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, w ill restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle. Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and Ils. each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and Raimes, Edinburgh.

" We have seldom bad the pleasure of reviewing a more ingenious, elegant, and at the same time philosophical and useful work, It is well worthy of the public attention, as a specimen of art, independently of its merits as an original and eminently useful auxiliary to the study of the most im portant branches of human knowledge." —New Monthly Magazine.

They are all on the same scale, and successively point out, from the Creation to the year 1828, the progress of Geogra phical Discovery, the rise and decay of Nations and Empires, and their political changes ; so that by merely glancing the eye on any map, we discover the actual state of the world at its date ; and by comparison with any other, the alterations which have occurred ; every place being in the same relative spot in the successive plates, and the tints and colouring be ing significant and connected with the accompanying text, which contains a well condensed Syllabus of Universal His tory.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. rip II E accounts lately received from Macao, I;ought gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as Gs. 7d., whilit up to thi► mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late. great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. _ Captain Piddling thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is'little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES YID DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. Bolton G. J. French, Silk Mercer. Burnley J.

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasuryd Ts universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy -I- in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and He a d. It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In eases of Nervous Head-ache it is completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced during the night. Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's , Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times , Ch e lt en ham Journal, and B r iti s h Traveller, in Nov. 1831.; He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, fro ti nc j i : the tenacious sympathy of th e membrane of the no tice nervous system, that G r i mstone ' s Eye Snuffs s vhe e w n i taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommend s it s universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mi. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on.the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Kai., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in . the third volume of the Medical Soc:ety's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serene cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own ; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in othercountries.”—Old Eng land, 11th January, 1840. We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the we of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."—crown, Any. 26,1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Bye Snuff, we shoutu be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men and individuals accustomed to sedentary habit s or l ong reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, tlizziness, &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336. • .

Your's, G. SMITH. To Mr. W. Grimstone, inventor of Bye Snuff, 39, Broad street, Bloomsbury. _ _ March 31,1838. SIR, I have been afflicted fo r many years with a severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice ; indeed, I have taken, large quantities medicine, without receiving any relief ;-b u t I am now delighted to say, with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.--I remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, E. RonsoN. 19, Bell-street, Edgewarc-road, Marylebone. 7, Skinner's Almshouses, Mile-end, Jan. 26, 1839. Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered mach with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant, To W. Grimstone, Esq. ANN COLE. To W. Grimstone, Esq.inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-st. Whitehall, March 8, 1838. Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any manner you think best.

What faces stare upon the man of money! how entreatingly the shopmen are besought —vet bow noiselessly do they perform their duties! An hour may pass, and but a few low words spoken, with now and then the sound of money on the counter. Hush ! How quickly that bolt was shot ! The last box is filled. A lady has entered it ; and it is plain to be seen, that for the first time she is in the shop of a pawnbroker. Poor thing ! Affluence rocked her cradle ; fortune, as she grew up, waited on her lightest wish ; the whole was to her a fairy ground. She never knew the touch of sorrow, and want to her was but a sound. She is now a wife, and conies for the first time with a piece of plate, that —for there is death hovering about her hearth—she may pay the doctor's fees! She feels, as she presents the plate to the shopman, like a thi e f. Th e man glances at h er: " Good God!" she thinks, " can he suspect anything ?" The pawnbroker gives the sum required, and the lady, with scorching face, hurries from the shop. But, oh ! the feelings of shame and degradation that pos sessed her in those brief minutes! Terrible things have been written on dungeon walls ; terribly sickening evidence of human misery and human vice ; but if, on the partitions of these boxes could be writ the emotions of those who have waited near them, the writing would be no less fearful than that traced in the Bastile, graven in the Piombi.—Tyas's Heads of the People. ATTACK ON A BOAT BY A WHALE.—EarIy in the morning of the 28th, we had sperm whales again in sight, and several large shoals were noticed during the day. They were, how eVer, equally wary with those we had before seen, and it was not until late in the afternoon that they could be favourably approached, when each boat harpooned a whale. Three of the boats secured their prizes speedily, and without accident ; but the fourth had encountered a mischievous or " fighting" whale of the most dangerous character. This cachalot, which was a young male, had been pierced with two well-planted harpoons ; but, instead of flying from his enemies, he rather sought to attack them, whenever they approached him for the purpose of lancing. His first effort was to rush against the boat with his head. Baffled in this way by the crew steering clear of the contact, he next attempted to crush it with his jaws; when, failing through the unaccommodating position of his mouth, he remedied this defect with much sagacity in his last and more successful assault : approaching impetu ously from a distance of about 40 yards, he turned upon his back, raising his lower jaw, to grasp the boat from above ; a lance-wound, however, caused him to close his mouth and resume a natural p osture before he had obtained his object; but, continuing to advance, he struck the boat with a force that nearly overturned it, and concluded by, again t urging on his back, and thrusting his lower jaw through the planks. The boat filled with water almost immediately, sunk with its gunwale to the level of the sea, and was rendered capable of retaining its crew only by the expedient of lashing the oars across its sides. The harpoon -line was cut, and the whale made off without doing further mischief. The wrecked boat, scarce perceptible above the waves, crowded with a half-im mersed crew, and, with two whifts flying as a signal of dis tress, presented a truly forlorn appearance. The ship and disengaged boats bore down to its assistance ; and, after res eating the crew and stores' took it on board to repair.—Bea ieWs Whaling Voyage.
