THIS most efficient and agreeable preparation of that well known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SAR SAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific method, by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are pre served ; and the experience of many years has fully established the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the vir tues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial ef fects have been particularly striking-fn the following com plaints :—Nocturnrnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous En largment of the Glands, Cutan Affections, Chronic Rheu matisms, &c., &c. •in freei the system after a c o urse o f Mercury, its beneficial eff s are very powerf u l. It pur ifi es the blood, and by giving the cutaneous vessels a healthy and regular action, it re es that disposition to Erysipilatous n..sr mation, from ich so many persons periodically suffer; and when taken it the Spring and Fall of the Year as an Altera tive Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the constitution which is indicated byfirmness of flesh, good appe tite, and freshness of the complexion. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, 52, Lord street, Liverpool, in bottles at 118., 225., and 335. per bottle. N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country, boxes are safely packed up, containing Two 22-shillingbottles for .£2, and Cases equal to Five for £5, upon receipt of a Post-office order.—The Preparation will keep in any climate. RAMAGE'S CONCENTRATED COMPOU ND SOLUTION OF IRON. The well-known tonic proper ties of Iron have made it a medicine of daily application in all cases of debility, produced by a poor and impoverished state of the blood. THE SYMPTOMS by which this state of the system is known are the following:—General weakness 'languor, inapti tude to exertion, loss of appetite, imperfect' digestion, flatu lence after taking food, a feeble action of the heart, palpitation on the slightest exertion, cold hands and feet, irregular action of the bowels, and severe headache THE EFFECT of this Prepara • n of Iron is to act as a per manent Tonic. By strenp;the lig and invigorating the sto mach and digestive organs, t appetite is not only increased, but the food taken is prop y digested, the blood is made in better quality and large . quantity, thereby the action of the heart is i ncreased, ren ring the pu'se fuller and stronger, au menting the temperattire of the body, and impr ov i ng the tette of the muscular fibre. This Medicine is much assisted by using RAVAGE'S LAXA TIVE PI LLS at the same time. _ _ Sold in Bottles,.at 4s. 6d. each, Wholesale and Retail, by the Proprietor's appointment, at JOHN SANGER'S, 150, Oxford- Street, and may be procured of Carter, Johnson, Jones, M`Guffle, Priestley, Rawle, Roberts, Ross and Co., Schole pr,d, Troughton, Wagstaff, and all respectable Medicine Yen.

PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED UNDER_ 7 Bz. 8 Vie ., CAP. no. -- 7,- - " ,-, THE object of thi s C oet tpany is to establish f or Liverpool and Manckegier a Daily Newspaper, at the low charge of Twopence-hpfpenny to Subscribers, and Threep ence to casual Purchaser,r , " and also to afford the Mercantile and Trading classes artidt-rate medium for the Publication of Ad vertisements, atthe lowest possible rate. The proud and commanding position which these Towns occupy entitle them to a Powerful Organ to uphold their inte rest and promote their general welfare. It has long been a matter of surprise, that they have not hitherto found a repre sentative in the form of a Daily Newspaper; and the more so when their close proximity, and the degree of mutual depend ance which exists b e t ween them, are taken into consideration. Individual enterprise appear s t o have staggered at the idea of undertaking so formidable a scheme, and it has consequently been left to the P romo t ers to forma Joint Stock Company for the purpose of its establishment. Minute Calculations, based upon practical experience in printing and publishing a Newspaper, have been made, with a view to ascertain the probable nmount of profit that would be realised to the Shareholders, and the result shows that with a circulation of Two Thousand daily, with Fifty Advertisements, there would he a good return upon the capital invested, which return would be considerably increased by an extension of cir culation. Shareholders in the Company will have the privilege, for a stated period, of having their own Advertisements published in the Paper at a little over the actual cost; thus, Proprietors will not only receive a fair return upon any capital they may invest, but they will have the great advantage of communicating with the public and their customers, and thus augment their busi ness ; and the money which they now expend in advertising will be returned to them in the shape of profit. The Capital of the Company will be Fifteen Thousand Pounds, derived from Six Hundred Shares of Twenty-five Pounds each. The First Call will be Five Pounds per Share, and will be paya. ble on a Certificate of complete Registration being obtained, and the remaining portion of the value of the shares when and at such times as the money may be required, with the proviso that one month's notice shall be given prior to the day of pay ment of any call, and no call to exceed Five Pounds per Share. The Promoters believe that not more than two calls will be required, and further calls must be sanctioned and approved of at a Meeting of the Shareholders. Arrangements for the publication and management of the Paper are now in course of completion. The Title will be " THE NORTHERN DAILY EXPRESS." Applications for Shares must be made previous to the Ist of January, 1847, to be addressed to the care of EDWARD BRE THERTON, Esq., Solicitor, Eldon Chambers, South John-street, or to Mr. CHARLES WILLMER, News Agent, 5, South John street, Liverpool.

The following account of the labours of this excellent person may be relied upon : ORIGIN OF THE LIVERPOOL BA.Tffg AND WASH " In the spring of the year 183 . ;41Ce apprehension of cholera impressed the importance of cleanliness upon all classes with the vividness of a newly-dis9overed truth. The visitors of the poor, while they exhorted,them to the immediate practice of this virtue, looked hopelessly round the dark cellar, or small garret, containing aivliole family, often lodgers also, for the facilities of washing, or the possibility of drying, the clothes of the inmates. Freln, the blackened blankets and bed, they turned as from evils for which they could devise no remedy. " But the poor, when their energies are aroused, can often find resources where their friends can see none ; and their mutual benevolence is their surest reliance. A poor woman, (Mrs. Wilkinson,) living in one of the crowded streets of Liver pool, had a back kitchen in which three people could just stand, containing a sm a ll b o il er. O n the Monday she washed her own clothes ; the rest of the week her kitchen was filled by her still poorer neighbours, as was the covered passage into which her house opened, and in fair weather her yard also. To dry all these clothes was the next difficulty. This was over come by passing cords from her own back win d ow t o th at o f a kind neighbour opposite, onwhich they could hang and freshen in the air, out of reach of theft, or giving annoyance to any one. "The cholera soon appeared, and that street was one of the earliest and most severely visited. The bedding and clothes of the dead were ordered to be burnt. How were the survivors to supply the change of linen and the warmth demanded, in an unnrecedented degree, by this dreadful disease? " We meet among the poor with a courageous, self-denying, persevering benevolence, such as privation often develops, which makes us feel the high purposes for which the severe '-';ne of life is (1..'

The average annua number of cases relieved by . the Society of late has been 2176, comprising upwards of 8000 individuals. In addition to Food, articles of Bedding. and Clothing are given where most needed. Its visitors endeavour, whi'e relieving bodily want, to promote the spiritual welfare of the poor, and many opportunities of Christian usefulness are open to them in their visits. The high prices of provisions and severity of the weather, combined with the many cases of weakness and destitution arising from 1.1.1 11:_ -' toe ►ate prevailing sickness, cause the applications for relief at present to be numerous and urgent ; and the funds of the society being exhausted, the Committee have no resource but in an urgent appeal to those whom God has blessed with abundance to supply them with he necessary means. This appeal, they trust, will be responded to, so that at this season of Christian joy and thankfulness they may be enabled to cheer the abodes of misery and to cause the hearts of the destitute to rejoice through the timely relief they are enabled to supply.

Had 2s. from the parish when Mrs. Wilkinson took him, which she stopped. He is still with her. To these cases may be added many others. A Lady in this neighbourhood, feeling deeply the important nature of the services of Mrs. Wilkinson, and anxious to pro cure for them a just appreciation and reward, has issued the prospectus:— _ It is htimbfy proposed that a fund should be raised for the purpose of rewarding Mrs. Wilkinson, in whose unwea r i e d efforts to assist her poor neighbou rs a t thel time of the cholera, the first attempts originated to establish a public wash-house or laundry, which have since bee n carried into such noble effect in Liverpool, holding out an example, in many instances fol lowed, to the admiration and imitation of England. A memorial has lately appeared in favour of Mrs. Wilkinson, as a candidate for the office of superintendent of the newly completed establishment. It has described the unwearied en ergy with which she toiled to assist her poor neighbours, in destitute old age and helpless infancy; lending all her scanty, means and humble appliances to resist or to remedy the evils of sickness and contagion : the scene of her labour—the dark cellar, with its damp and dingy chambers, its troughs and water-barrels, its frugal expedients and primitive contrivances —has been surpeseded by an institution that exhibits in its simplicity the perfection of scientific usefulness, which the highest and most enlightened of all ranks in England have been delighted to contemplate. NUrtured by the (Yews of Heaven, the seed sown by this wo man's humble hand has bee n bl ea ti n its increase; its growth was fostered by one single personification of that spirit of Christian charity which delights to do good in secret—to her remains the unclaimed but heartfelt reward of silently seeing the lowly but noble work (which might have perished without such timely aid) carried out to-its completion, and established, a srlendid and permanent benefit to society. Put to return to its originator. It remains with o ur co nn t r y .„ , . to retina-' It, in its fearlessnessof danger and con. tagion, emulates the courage, and, in its lovilly bearing, the lofty and heroic simplicity of Grace Darling;—in its zeal for doing good to the poor and distressed, the untiring energy and acti vity of Mrs. Fry; and this, too, in an instance where all the motives that minister to ambition and vanity were unknown or withdrawn—unseen and unheard, save by the poor creatures who surrounded her—instead of praise, and congratulation and fame, she had only •'the blessings of those who were ready to Fer!sh.". _ . - Nor should we hesitate to recognise and to appreciate, in this humble instance, the spirit of charity, by the blessing of Heaven, so widely diffused throughout the families of the cart!), but more especially amidst the poorest of the poor. There, woman exercises her gentle but most important mi nistry, by the subdivision of her scanty an d precar i ous meal, by daily visitings and nightly tendance, in the time of sickness, of destitution, or of death—before the ear of public charity has been awakened, or while its organized relief has been delayed or suspended. Where else on earth shall we find so near a ful filment of that divine injunction which has commanded ns "to love our neighbour as ourself?" Where else a stronger enforce ment of that holy lesson which enjoins the rich to " consider the poor?" 4th Nor., 1846. R. L. The efforts thus made have succeeded in obtaining most illus trious sanction and support. The time, however, has arrived, when this business reqinres the active labour of gentlemen connected with the town of Li verpool. To them the lady with whom this proposal origi nated is desirous to give up the turner and more active prose cution of the matter. Several gentlemen have expressed their anxiety to support the benevolent intentions of the writer of the prospectus. A. Committee has been formed, with power to add to their numbers ; and, in the meanwhile, Subscriptions will be received by ROBERTSON GLADS TONEI Es q ., J OHN C row , Esq., THOMAS TODD, Esq., Wsi.
