THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original , projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the bo n vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that 'we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by aye. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full aisurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by 'VI PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Commercial-rooms, in the City of Bristol, on Thursday, May 21, and two following days, at Eleven for Twelve o'clock punctually, A GENUINE SALE OF EXCEEDINGLY FINE WINES, highly important to all those who are amateurs of Port in its pure unsophisticated state. By this fortunate circumstance the public, and more especially those who patronise the growth of the Alto Douro, will have the power to replenish their cellars with wine of the most rare and estimable quality ; it is an especial case, and one quite unlikely ever to occur DESIRABLE INVESTMENT. By Messrs. WINSTANLEY, On 'WEDNESDAY, the 20th instant, at the Clarendon Rooms, South John-street, (subject to conditions of sale to be then produced,) A MOST valuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, consisting /a. of convenient Counting-houses and Offices, in Rumford place, and let to highly-respectable tenants, the annual rental of which is about £560. Further particulars may be had on application to MesSrs. DUNCAN, LOWE, and RADCLIFFE, Exchange-street West. TO EXPORTERS, FARMERS, 4-c., ' By Mr..J.T. GREGSON, again. As this sale of bottled wine el ceeds in quantity any by gone auction, it may be well to give a succinct statement of the cause by which it is intended the public will be so much benefitted. The house of John Wintle and Co., of Glou cester, having declined business, and being in a state of in dependence, they have commissioned Mr. Robins to make an experiment similar to the never-to-be-forgotton one at Li verpool of Mr. Knowles—a reminiscence arising out of that event will not be out of place. The reader may remember that in the year 1832 Mr. Ro bins was honoured by having been selected by that eminent house to sell Six Thousand Dozen of bottled Wines, which _had been deposited in boicd under- the snrveillane Customs. The result of this sale has inclined the respect able "clients whose cause it is his present duty to advocate, to follow in this judicious track. The finest vintage that high reputation and ready money could accomplish was pro cured, and cargoes of bottles dispatched to Oporto. The consequence of this great mercantile operation will speedily be put to the test, inasmuch as the sale is to be free from any protecting price. It is in the original cases as imported, and has been about 18 months under the vigilant inspection of THE REVENUE OFFICERS, In a large vault of fine temperature, under QUEEN SQUARE HALL, IN BRISTOL. It is essential to observe that this EXTRAORDINARY FINE BATCH OF PORT WINE is from the favourite vineyards of Geo. Sandeman and Co., and was deposited a considerable period at their Wine Lodge, in Oporto. It was observed, when its departure was first announced, that it was one of the finest shipments that had left the Douro. The total quantity exceeds EIGHT THOUSAND DOZENS. Firstly, and of one quality, there are FIFTEEN HUNDRED CASES, of three dozen each. This wine is delicate and high flavoured. Also, ELEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY CASES, of three dozen each, the flavour very fruity. The sale com prehends an aggregate quantity far exceeding any previous auction. Near 100,000 BOTTLES OF FINE OLD PORT, continued in the original packages of three dozens each, as bottled in Oporto, and to which Mr. Robins earnestly en treats the attention of the public, and more especially those who appreciate fine old port ; and he would add, they are not a little indebted to his spirited clients for having established (after great exertion and perseverance) the admission of wine bottled in a foreign country, in British bottles, to entry and use for home consumption, upon the payment of the duty upon the wine only. The week previous to the auction will be set apart at the vault in Queen-square to afford all those who shall be so in clined to taste gratuitously, and admire at their leisure, this, the largest and finest stock of bottled port in England. A sample case of the Wine, containing three dozen, will be sent to any part of England, to be charged at the average price of the sale. The Catalogues will be ready seven days antecedently ; to be then had at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; the Man chester Times ; the York Herald Office, York ; the Leeds Times, Leeds ; the Bush, Bristol ; White Hart, Bath ; King's Head, Gloucester; Cheltenham Chronicle Office, Cheltenham ; Mr. Hobbs, Auctioneer, Worcester ; the Bir mingham Advertiser; the New London Hotel, Exeter • the Hereford Journal; the Welshman, at Carmarthen ; White Hart, Salisbury ; Lion, Shrewsbury ; Beaufort Arms, Mon mouth ; Castle Hotel, Brecon ; the Auction Mart ; and in Covent-garden.

'Walker IN YORKSHIRE, WITH POSSESSION, The Beilby Grange Estate,' with the Manor and Manorial Rights, Fishery, a Capital Residence, and a fine Demesne, nearly all Tithe Free, near to Wetherby, and contemporary in Fame with its neighbouring rival, the Ribston Hall Property. ATR. GEORGE ROBINS has been honoured, by the 'VI instructions of LORD WENLOCK, to OFFER for SALE by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 28th of May, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, THE BEILBY GRANGE ESTATE, lfrAM2l/ 3 anyt, Au— tyvn .euvewrie—ii.etilvid'in:ks - comprehends A MANSION OF SOME IMPORTANCE, erected at an expense approaching £30,000, with commen surate offices of every kind and description; large and pro lific gardens, with conservatory and hot-houses. The Hall approximates upon the respectable market town of Wetherby, and is quite equal, and seems especially adapted to accom modate THE M.P. FOR THE couv. Its approach, by a lodge of pleasing design, is from the high London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow road, through a finely wooded park. It is erected of stone, and is accounted, for its size, one of the most imposing buildings of the vici nity, and, in point of style and comfort, greatly exceeds the pretensions of the generality of houses in Yorkshire. The pleasure-grounds are disposed in admirable taste, with romantic - walks progressing through the hanging woods, by the side of the beauteous river. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO ONE THOUSAND ACRES. It is within this scene of delight that CHRIS TOPHER WILSON, ESQ., the Father of the Turf, has luxuriated during a very long period, and it may be observed that, although the house is full of comfort, it is not too large for the views of a mode rate family. The rental is nearly TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR, exclusive of the manors, the fishery and the value of its waters •, and it is paid without a murmur. It is in the midst of field sports ; with Lord Harewood's and three other packs of fox hounds close at hand THE ANCIENT CITY OF YORK IS WITHIN FOURTEEN MILES, and its majestic Minster, towering high, is seen for many miles around. The river Wharfe adjoins the property for three miles, and the value of the water for machinery and mills is great beyond calculation; it is navigable to within five miles, and the York and North Midland Railway, only seven miles off, will be completed in twelve months, and then the distance from Beilby Grange to the metropolis of London will be ACCOMPLISHED IN TEN HOURS. The high road from London to Edinburgh passes through the estate. THE TENANTRY ARE HIGHLY RESPECTABLE, and of long standing. It is en verite the precise thing for a sporting man, as the game is strictly prese rved, in the midst of femeovers h un ted by the highest rank in the country ; and the fishing as fine as any throughout Yorkshire. The neigh bourhood is remarkable for the high station of its leading occupants ; although there is abundant society for those who would mix with the influentia l and yet soar not quite so high as the great aristocracy. The river winds perpetually through A BEAUTIFULLY WOODED COUNTRY, embracing a lovely valley, while from the park and homestead a beautiful panorama, full of variety, is exhibited. In the picture will be seen the little Matlock, the suspended baths floating over the river, a peep at the hot and cold baths, and though last, not least, the salubrity of the air may be classed amongst the never ending agremens that claim a kindred feel ing here. In conclusion, it may safely be affirmed that for its extent, capability, and the quality of the soil, it will not yield to any contemporary through Yorkshire ; and this observa tion is made advisedly, Mr. R. having just had the gratifica tion of making his personal survey. It ought to be kept in mind by all those who incline to a high rate of interest, that the larger portion of the grass land adjoins the river, com mencing from THE BRIDGE AT WETHERBY, to Collinghatu ; it would consequently let to build upon at exceedingly high prices. The result of the sale, of the DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S PROPERTY, when he alienated the town of Wethetby, renders this a mat ter of certainty. The great portion of the property is TITHE-FREE, AND THE LAND TAX REDEEMED. Particulars are in preparation, and will be ready 28 days prior to the sale ; in the meantime Mr. Robins will be but too happy to afford any additional information to those capitalists who may be disposed to give him a visit. Also at the Salu tation, Wetherby ; Hotel, York ; Royal Hotel, Leeds ; Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; George Leeman, Esq. Solicitor, York; and Messrs. Adlington, Gregory, Faulkner, and Follett, Bedford-row ; the Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins' Offices, London. P.S.—A drawing of the Mansion and the Park -grounds to be seen at the Offices. TO CONNOISEURS IN SODA WATER. IF a highly concentrated combination of Carbonic A cid Gas, with a valuable and esteemed Alkali, if unparalleled spe cific gravity, in an exhaustless spring, supplying the ele mentary material, and freed from all impure and earthy carbonates BE GEMS in the production of a first-rate bottle of Soda Water, then ELLIS'S manufacture may fearlessly challenge comparison with all the world. The want of PURE and SUITABLE WATER, in the first place, and the want of perfectly understanding the ma nufacturing process, in the second place, abundantly account for the frequent complaint, disappointment, and annoyance constantly experienced by all true lovers of this delightful and wholesome beverage. The extensive patronage which the Royal Family, the No bility and Gentry have bestowed upon " ELLIS'S SODA WATER," equally attest its excellency and superiority, and it is now the only Fashionable Beverage used at the Tables of Royalty. Prepared by R. ELLts, Manufacturing Chemist to the Royal Family, at his Elaboratory, Ruthin, North Wales ; and can be procured fresh and genuine from his Agents in Liverpool.

By the Authoress of " Three Experiments of Living," " Sketches of the Old Painters," &c. " If the value of a book is to be determined by the whole some pleasure it gives, this will stand with the first of the day. In this view there can be but one opinion, expressed by that single exclamation which we hear so often in regard to it—" 0, it is a charming book !" And we take up the pen more with the intent of reiterating this single sentiment, than of attempting a criticism of the book or a discussion of the subject. We fear to be extravagant, and yet we care not much if we are extravagant in uttering our honest thanks to the writer, and a hearty commendation to all readers—it is so delightful to get a pure, warm, life-like picture of events and characters, commonly frigid with the stiffness of pomp and circumstance, or unintelligible with the jargon of scholastic theology. Here are Luther and :his faithful Catherine, Me lancthon and his sensible Margaret, sitting down in their parlour, talking like human beings as well as Reformers, laughing and loving like men, and not Monks. Here is the Emperor and the Pope, and the friar, and the nun, the stub born old Catholic, and the sweet little heretic, all arrayed in flesh and blood, about as pretty and as ugly, as wise and foolish, good and bad, as other folks,—instead of being pro digies and monsters, saints or satans. And here is the round world rolling on just as it always did, and not stopping be cause of Martin's apostacy or Leo's bull."—Christian Exa miner.

Empowered by Act of Parliament. CAPITAL, £600,000. President—The Right Honourable Lord CLIFFORD. FIRE INSURANCES continue t o b e gran t e d on t h e plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INSURANCES.—Bonuses have been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In sured. This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies. AGENTS IN LIVERPOOL:- W. WHITEHOUSE & SON, 12, Exchange-buildings. D. & J. B. NEILSON, Exchange -street East. WIENCE can it arise that the obvious security and ad vantages of Life Assurance should be so little regarded in Liverpool ?—that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, be so reckless ? Of the thousands who are toiling early and late to provide for their families, many must drop off long before that object can be accomplished ; yet how few have Assu rances upon their lives, and for this the reason usually as signed is, " that they have not had time to think of Life Assurance." They have time for every commercial opera tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay ment afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of want after their death—an event rendered not less probable by the fatigue and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers of ships belonging to London having Assured their Lives ; whilst from the Mersey thousands proceed annually to the States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance upon their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial, and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, of No. 20, Water-street, who will afford every facility for the itnmedi ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and through their Agency the peculiar advantages of this Com pany are respectfully tendered to the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity.

The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is pe culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street. where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed that the SodttWa7te;, - ;hen kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at Is. 6d. each. FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injuriouslto the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation PRIESfLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA A pure transparent solution, in which all the-virtues of that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of Citron it forms an effervescing draught. The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le monade, and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can be more agreeable. PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.

The quantity did not exceed 100 tons; at this period last year more than 250 tons were exhibited. A very heavy advance in prices may be anticipated, as in con sequence of the business of last year, the quantity of cheese made is very inconsiderable. Prices on Wednesday, ranged from 625. to 70s. Two or three fine flavoured dairies realized 725. to 755. In the Cattle Fair there was an unusually large supply—and from information we received, we believe more business was done than ever known at this fair. Fat Cattle were worth 6d. and fild. and sink. Barrons were higher than at last fair. Milchers were fetching high prices, some as much as £2l. The Sheep were few, and these few were high in price. Pigs were plentiful, selling at high prices. The Horse Fair was poorly attended in point of number, there we .e some very fine horses, which fetched long prices.— Chester Gazette. ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES IN FRANCE.- 44 A dis covery," says the Quotidienne, " has recently been made at Bongon, near Mothe-Saint-Heray, in the two Sevres, of a tumulus, which promises to throw great light on the civilization of the ancient Celts. A gallery and vast grotto has been opened. It is formed of nine stones in erect positions, covered by a slab 26 feet three inches in length. The interior is completely filled with bones. The head of each skeleton touches the walls of the grotto, and by the sides of each are vases of baked earth containing provisions for the use of the deceased in the other world, the wahalla or paradise promised to the brave. Nuts and acorns are found in these vases in perfect preservation. There have also been found two hatchets and two knives made of flint, several smaller sharp instruments the use of which is not known, two collars or necklaces, one of shells and the other of baked earth, several boars' tusks, the bones of a dog , and a p late upon which there a re f rag ments of a rude design. Four of these vases are perfect ; two of them very much resemble flowerpots, a third has the form of a soup-tureen, and the fourth, though much the smallest, is the most curious, as it is the cup of a druid. The tumulus is 200 paces in cir cumference, and between 18 and 20 feet high. Its formation may be placed at 2,000 va ses and utensils attest th e nascent of attest the infancy of the arts. and a barbarous people." years ago. The 7 , X/e:d? V/<7- of rea Ali.
