PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS JPRIESTLEV,CnEmIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs • particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. 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 tim e in all clilnates. 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 Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic was ; 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 Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, Sal. tram the Face, this Medicine has no superior. 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 injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. PRIESTLEY'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. PRJESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.

THIS unigue 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 bon 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 transcindant merit. It has been intimated SEA th SICKNEat it will prevent SS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the "brinyof deep" with it in our possession; b u t s h ou ld not Pro prietorsPACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hiii? 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 age. 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 assurance 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.

REPORT Of the Directors to the Shareholders in the above underi Cutlers' Hall, in Sheffield, on thi JOHN PARKER, Esc SINCE they had last the pleasure to meet the proprietary, the directors have entered into contracts, on very fa vourable terms, for the execution of the whole of the re maining part of the 104 miles of the line of this railway from Manchester to Glossop, with the exception of the Etherow Viaduct, a length of only 176 yards, for which the plans, sections; and estimates are , now prepared. The works•of these contracts, and the shafts and drihways of the Summit Tunnel, are steadily proceeding in a satisfactory manner, as will be explained more fully in the report of the resident engineer. It is scarcely necessary to remind the sharehol ders that when this 101 miles of railway—opening the traffic with the densely-populated and rich manufacturing neigh bourhoods of Hooley Hill, Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, Duckinfield, Newton, Hyde, Godley, Broadbottom ' Mot tram, and Glossop—is completed, which it may be within the year 1841, if the requisite funds be supplied, an income may be safely calculated upon that will realize a rate of pro fit upon the expenditure equal if not superior to any line of railway yet made, even without taking into account the Shef field traffic, a considerable portion of which would no doubt be brought upon it at Glossop. The directors have to congratulate the shareholders upon a saving, as compared with the original estimate, of about £15,000, in that part of the line passing by Harewood Lodge, the residence of Joe Sidebottam, Esq. For this important saving the company is indebted to the liberality of that gen tleman, who has disinterestedly permitted the deviation from the parliamentary line by which it is accomplished. A difference of opinion with the majority of the directors upon a subject of great importance, has led to the resignation by Lord Wharncliffe of the office of Chairman of the Board, a circumstance sincerely and deeply regretted by every mem ber of the direction. The directors have however the grati fication to believe that notwithstanding this unfortunate oc currence, his lordship still entertains those favourable senti ments towards this undertaking which originally obtained for it his invaluable support. Anxious to supply as far as was in their power this heavy loss, the directors offered to Mr. John Parker, the highly respected and influential member for the borough of Shef field, the vacant chair; and they are happy to say that he has cordially accepted it, and promised his effective co-ope ration in carrying this important enterprise to a successful issue. The directors cannot omit the expression of their regret that the calls are not more promptly paid. They still hope, that improvement in the commercial affairs of the country, combined with that increased confidence in this undertaking to which its merits so fully entitle it, and the result of the actions at law into which they have most reluctantly been compelled, will in a short time materially diminish the pecu niary difficulties which at present retard their progress. They would at the same time observe, that it is possible this condition of their pecuniarx resources may induce a system of economy in their expenditure eventually beneficial to the shareholders, by preventing a large outlay in ornamental works, which, while they may be c onsidered " Monuments of National Taste," contribute nothing to the return upon capital, which is of course the primary object with those who invest their money in railway projects. To the Directors of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Company. Gentlemen,—ln making a report to you of the position in which the works now stand, I shall briefly describe the state of the various contracts, which I think from the time they have been in hand are progressing satisfactorily: No. 1, or Ardwick Contract, has been taken by Messrs. Buxton and Clarke, and extends from the Junction with the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, to a distance of 31 miles therefrom. There is a very heavy embankment on this part of the line, the whole of the material for which has to be supplied from the cutting at the eastern side. As the greater portion of the earthwork for this embankment has to be carried through the Aqueduct at the Stockport Canal, it is very important that this bridge should be carried on with vigour, as it forms the key to this part of the work. The foundations are now laid, and the bridge is expected to be completed in about a month. A considerable length of the retaining walls at the foot of the slopes, of the Ardwick embankment, have been built, and the contractors are busily engaged in brick making along the line, for the various bridges and culverts. The Spoil Cutting at " Trail Dogs" is also going on rapidly, and a considerable number of men are employed upon this portion of the works.

L., M.P., IN THE CHAIR. No. 2, or Newton Contract, extends from " Trail Dogs" to Newton Green, and is in length about 3* miles. This contract has been let to Messrs. Denton and Sergeant. A great portion of the fence railing has been setup, and the various cuttings and embankments have been commenced. The most important work upon this contract is the bridge over the River Tame, most of the foundations of which are now in, and the remainder will be finished in a short time, so that they will all he above the level of the ground before winter sets in. The Iron Bridge over the Peak Forest Canal is advancing favourably, and the beams for carrying the rails are being cast, so that no time will be lost with this bridge, over which a great part of the Tame Valley embankment will have to be carried. The works from this point to the end of the contract, are not of a heavy description, and are going on well. The retaining walls west of the short tunnel at New ton Green are finished, and the face of the tunnel is ready to be commenced. No. 3, or Hattersley Contract, is in the hands of Mr. Brassey, and the length is about 24 miles. Although not much apparent progress has been made, owing to difficulties in obtaining possession of the ground, still preparations to a great extent have been entered into, and a great number of bricks have been burnt ready for the various bridges and the tunnel at Hattersley. The shafts for working this tunnel are now commenced. Instead of building the six feet culvert in the ravine at the east end of this contract, a driftway has been commenced through the side of the hill, which will do away with the great risk that would otherwise have been in curred in building a culvert under so high an embankment. The arches and works extending from the end of this con tract, to the Broadbottom Bridge, have been lately let to Mr. Brassey, who will lose no time in commencing them. The bridge at Broadbottom is not yet contracted for, but the plans and estimates are prepared. Ample time is left for finishing this work as soon as the other portions of the line already described. No. 5, or Gamesley Contract, is let to Messrs. Miller and Blackie, who have been at work upon it for some time. This contract consists principally of earthwork, and has been pro ceeding rather slowly ; it will now, however, be pushed for ward more vigorously, so as to be completed at the same time as the others, that the line may be opened from Manchester to Glossop at as early a period as possible. From the end of the Gamesley Contract to the Summit Tunnel at Woodhead, no contracts have yet been let, as sufficient time will be allowed for this length to be completed at the same period as the tunnel. The same observation ap plies to the Sheffield end of the line. I shall now proceed to describe the state of the works at the Summit Tunnel, which is three miles in length, and will require some time for its completion—what that time will be it is almost impossible at present to estimate ; but when the shafts are sunk, the material through which we shall have to cut will be known. The driftways at the western face have been carried to the distance of about 230 yards, through very hard rock. It is, however, anticipated, that a stratum of shale will be entered upon, in which case the progress will be much more rapid than at present. The summit of the ridge through which the tunnel passes is about GOO feet above the level of the railway, consequently the shafts will be of considerable depth. These shafts, five in number, are all of them in progress, and the engines and pumping apparatus complete to each. A great quantity of water has been encountered in some of the shafts, which has impeded their advancement; but side drifts are now being made, so that the water may run off at a lower level, and this will save ranch expense in pumping. The open cutting at the east end has been excavated up to the face of the tunnel, sufficiently wide for one line of rails, and the driftways are completed for the distance of eighty yards. These driftways and shafts have all been contracted for at fixed prices. The diversion of the river Dun has been completed, and the bridge over the Etherow, which is crossed by the railway at the western end of the tunnel, is under execution. I have thus endeavoured to lay before you a statement of the present position of the works, and, in conclusion, I beg to assure you, that no exertions shall be spared to urge them forward with vigour, and at the same time to insure their stability. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant. Manchester, August 29th, 1840. ALFRED S. JEE. P.

It may be the case ; but no prosecutions have .taken place, as is usual, in such cases. However, the Public ought to be protected against fraud. No complaints have been made by those who use Middle wood's Oil. His Agents are authorised to engage that his Oil possesses all the properties expressed in his advertise ments. If other Proprietors will do so, it will put a stop not only to spurious counterfeits, but enable the Public to dis tinguish betwixt articles of real utility and the trash the Public are cautioned against. Mr. RENNIE, Lord:streel, has a constant supply. Orders addressed to the Proprietor, Parker-street, will be duly attended to, and, 40s. or upwards, will be forwarded car riage free. fill OBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY, AND PATENT It GROATS, recommended by the Faculty.
