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, paid, 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 Coughs, 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.

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 sex, that can be required; and for ELDERLY PEOPLE they will be found to be the most comfortable Medicine hitherto prepared.

THIS SHOP CLOSES THIS DAY, (FRIDAY,) THE 28TH AUGUST INSTANT. The Public may then bid ADIEU to CHEAP BARGAINS•! PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS eIPRIESTLEY', CHEMIST, 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 nae 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 IMPROVED SODA POWDERS It has been observed that the Soda Water, when 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 va►ious causes, would experience great inconvenience, ible to prepare the 'horn it woul e utterly imp( - • • Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which p ossesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this mud esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsfut 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, &o. from 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. PRAESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.

DUCltOw's DEFINITION OF TIIE END OP A SEASON.— The fag end of the season of a metropolitan theatre is literally disgraceful, arising from the fatal neglect of business by the performers, and the shameful mode of conducting it by all the mechanics and operatives. Ducrow once gave me a much more graphic description of the finale of one of his seasons than I have the power of transcribing. " I don't know how you find it," said he to me, " but as soon as I once announce the last few nights of the season, the beggars begin to show their airs. I went into the theatre t'other night. and n seeing a prime little roasting pig on a nice white napkin the hall, I told 'em to take it up to Mrs. said it warn't for me, 'twas for Mr. Roberts."r .

'(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British 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, from the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grirnstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

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 consuniers.

" We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. a safe and powerful restorative.—Mandiester Chronicle " GEMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolif, 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 use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Aug. 26,1838.

You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much 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 can i s t ers h as ena bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughl y 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.

COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE NEW SOUTH WALES We have received files of the Sydney Gazette and of tit Sydney Commercial Journal to the 28th of April, inclusive from which we make the following extracts IN HARBOUR.—There are sixty vessels in Sydn Cove at present. Of which ten - are ships, forty barqm thirteen brigs, and five schooners. The full amount of the tonnage amounts to about 21 shrmt - ,000 tons, making n v a averan _ ydney Gazette :r of public ho licensed cy on the last licensing day were two hundred and ,:wenty-five ! Considering the populati on o f S y d ney, we have no hesitation in saying that such a number is unparalleled in the world.—Bid. FLotm.—A gentleman intimately connected with South Australia, and who has taken some trouble to make hirmzelf acquainted with the statistics of that settlement, informS as that for the current year it will require 150 tons of flour per month to be imported into the colony to feed the population there ; and unless some large importations of grain from India arrive, which are not expected in consequence of wheat being very high in price at the Cape, flour wilt be dearer than it.has yet been : its present price, according to the latest accounts from thence, is £7O per ton. — Cornmereial Journal_ April 25 —Capt. Moore, of the revenue cutter Prince George, arrived at Williams' frown on Friday last haying several weeks ago been despatched by the Sydney go. vernment a second time in search of the crew of the ill-fated Britannia. Capt. Moore found the long boat on the beach; near Cape Howe, about 25 miles to the southward of Two. fold Bay, as had been represented by the natives, and he is of opinion, from the position he found her in, that she had been beached by some of the crew or passengers. The boat was entirely empty. From several auspicious circumstance, TILE BRITANNIA Capt. Moore is of opinion that our ill-fated countrymen who landed in the boal, must have been murdered by the native , One strong fact in favour of this opinion is, that on all mer occasions when Capt. Moore, visited Twofold Bit , natives were very friendly, but on this oecasif , " the cutter anchored, they all of them ran awl and remained there until the vessel set sail. after leaving Twofold Bay, was obliged to put bac.,, th natives behaved in a similar manner. They were seen, shortly after the loss of the Britannia, to have several stripes of a white man's shirt divided amongst them. It is very evident, from the boat having beets found on the beach above high water mark, that some, if not all of the crew and pasSengers, landed safely from the wreck, to meet, we fear, a more cruel death. Captain Moore tells us that he visited Presewaller Island since the Vansittart was there, and that he found the mainmast of the unfortunate Brittornart.—lbid.

His lordship telly approves the reply made by the local government, and says :—" V on , have very properly pointed out the distinction between the ends of punishment and those of colonization, a distinction which appears not to have been sufficiently kept in view b' the rernonstrants.”—Thid_ 'ay into th' Capt. Mo edging the r ENORMOUS SHEEP.—.Mr. Edmund Bryant, of Kingston, lately weighed alive five sheep of the improved Leicester breed, and their joint weight was 1305 lbs., the largest of which weighed 280 lbs. We think that these are the largest breed in this or any of the adjoining colonies.—lbid. THE WEATHER.—Rain is much wanted in the country to enable the agriculturists to carry on their farming operations, although in some districts pasturage is much more plentiful than in former seasons. The farmers are now pretty gene rally engaged in thrashing out their grain, and in ploughin g and sowing the upper l a nds. Th e settlers are very loth to sell their wheat at the present prices, as a rise appears to be generally expected by them.--Launceston Advertiser, April 9. HOBART TOWN MARKETS.—Wheat, 12s. to 13s. per bushel ; oats, 6s. 6d. to 7s. ditto ; English barley, Os. to Os.

PORT PHILLIP. UNION WITH SOUTH AUSTRALIA.- upon good authority that a project is on foot carrying with it the influence of the South Australian Colonization Commis sioners, for effecting an union letiveen Port Phillip and South Australia, and forming of the two a colony, altogether inde pendent of New South Wales, under the denomination of the colony of Australia Felix. We are informed WATER.—Disease is more prevalent in Melbourne at the present period than it ever was on any occasion since the formation of the settlement. In the opinion of the medical men of the town the existence of this disease is attributable almost solely to the use of brackis- h orate THE BLACKS.—There are accounts in town of fresh out rages committed by the blacks on the settlers at Portland Bay. One gentleman' has lost a considerable number of sheep, which have either been separated or driven off by the savages. ViGETABLES.—We have seen a quantity of turnips grown on a small farm on the estate of Dr. M'Crae, on the Moonee Moonee ponds, about three miles from Melbourne, which speak well for the fertility of Port Phillip. The farm on which the turnips were grown was let only eight weeks ago to its present tenant, and during that time it has been fenced in, brought into cultivation, and the turnips of which we saw so fine a specimen, raised upon it. The turnip is of the kind called the Aberdeen yellow, a species of garden turnip, which has scarcely ever bean known to succeed in England, and it has already attained to a size which we have rarely seen equalled at home. The most remarkable fact, however, is, that from the time the seed was sown until the turnip was pulled not a drop of rain fell, and as the land is not by any means of a moist description, we can only attribute the growth , of the turnips (extraordinary under such Lances) to some principle in the soil peculiarly retentive of When such is the success which attends garden ing operations in this climate, even in the driest seasons, we may soon hope to see Melbourne surrounded by orchards and fruit gardens.—Port Phillip Herald, April 21. moisture STATE OF TRADE MANcursrEn.—Our market yesterday was in pretty nearly the same state as on the preceding Tuesday,—a fair amount of business being done, though at very moderate prices. The lower counts and inferior qualities of yarn are in good demand, and sell freely at previous rates ; while su perior qualities of 40's are worse to sell, and in some cases a slight reduction has been submitted to. In the goods mar ket there is an improved demand for very light and thin cali coes ; but other articles remain without alteration. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 24. We have had a decided improvement in the demand for flan nels to-day, and considerably more business has been done ; but there is no material advance in the prices. There is ano ther failure this week of a small manufacturer, and, as usual the chief sufferers are the woolstaplers. The wool markw much the same as that of last Monday. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, AUG. 25. is little or no change to note in the state of this market week, unless it be that there was not that appearance of au tivity which has obtained for some weeks of late. Perini. this may be accounted for on the ground that great cautio marks the conduct of the manufacturers, who are most!, working to order ; so th a t very f ew new goods are nor brought into the market. Prices remain steady, unless it he a partial rise in some sorts of wools. In the warehouses, a fair business is doing ; but in no department of trade is there any cause for exultation. Middle and low-priced plain and fancy woollens are most in request ; and in light fancy good the demand is pretty good ; but in superfine there is litt' doing.—Manchester Guardian. —There LiICESTER.—There has be;n more demand for goods dur ing the past week, and some considerable sales have been made. There is more doing in wool, and the aspect of the market is improved. In worsted no alteration in price, but there is a better demand, and the opinion is now genera l t h at wools and yarns have seen their lowest for the present.— Leicester Chronicle. The thermometer at Quebec, towards the close of last month, ranged from 86 to 90. COMMERCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.—We are assured, that there is no foundation whatever for the statement which has appeared in some of the London papers, that the direc tors of this bank had commenced legal proceedings against a great number of its customers. The truth is, that the cases in which it has been necessary to call in the assistance of the law have been hitherto remarkably few ; nor has any difficulty or delay been experienced, except such as are inse parable from the sudden termination of an extensive busi ness, and the unexpected calling-in of advances, upon the continuance of which the parties had every reason to depend. — Manaiiester Guardian. PENRITH.---STOPPA GE OF THE NEW BANE.—It is said that the liabilities of the new bank at Penrith, under the firm of Messrs. Atkinson, Craig, and Ladiman, which stopped payment on Wednesday week, exceed £50,000. The coaster. nation produced in the neighbourhood of Penrith and Tern. plesowerby is very great. Messrs. Atkinson and Craig residt at Templesowerby ; the latter of them is out of they way.— The well-known ale-brewery at Appleby, which has beer carried on for many years under the name of Craig and Co., and under the successful management of Mr. M. Harrison' has stopped p a y men t also. RAPID PRACTICABLE COMMUNICATION BETWIXT LON DON AND INveariEss.—The railway time betwixt London and Liverpool is 9 hours. The Fire-King steamer, last year, made the trip from Liverpool to Glasgow, which, by the windings of the Clyde, is as long as from Liverpool to Oban, in 15 hours. At the same rate, 3 hours more would bring the Fire-King to Fort William. An ordinary mail coach of the first class, at 10 miles an hour, would come in 6 hours from Fort William to Inverness—in all 33 hours from Lon don to Inverness, and 24 hours from Liverpool to Inverness. —lnverness Herald.

THE MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL—DISTRI BUTION OF THE REWARDS.--It will be remembered that, soon atter the discovery of the murder of Lord Wm. Russell, a government reward of £2OO was offered for the apprehen sion of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the diabolical deed. The matter has at length been considered by the Lords of the Treasury, and it is now determined upon that the distri bution of the promised bounty shall be awarded as follows : Inspector Pearce, of the A division, £5O; Inspector Beres ford , of the C division, £3O ; Inspector Tedman, of the D division, £3O; Sarah Mincer, the housemaid of the lamented nobleman, £l5 ; and Mary Honnell, the cook, £5. The re maining £7O will be divided equally amongst the constables who assisted in the case ; and Ellis, late valet to the ill-fated lord, but now in the service of Lord Mansfield. The per sons last alluded to were seven in number, and will, conse quently, receive £lO each. The above sums will in the course of a few days be paid to the several parties named, and it is understood that the additional reward of £2OO offered by the late lord's relatives, will be dealt out in the same proportions as the reward on the part of the government.
