THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli , genee of the English having been totally expelled from and that hostilities had actually commenced between ticr 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- Illent as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that a n y more t eas can b e obtained from China for a v ery consid era bl e per i o d, a grea t r i se i n a l l d escr i pt i ons o f ll.,lat.artiele has taken place.

The late great rise, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, w h o fo und 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 °Y tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How 14tYA'S MIXTUR E Will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb., 95. the catty, or an a d vance o f on ly 9d. per lb., when the commone s t t eas , s i nce J une, h ave a d vance d I s . 9d. per lb .

TAEcelebrated Cordial BALM o f SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. „There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of 6resent day, and more particularly in those of the past ; 4 1410 1, than a genera l di sregar d to t h e max i ms of prudence i nd regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi !tit" wh°' having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con- Utioll, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their wminds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, an d th e i r b o di es ak, the natural functions of life are di sc h arge d l a b or i ous l y, with pain ea el nd diffi rat culty. For this state o f nervous derange ment, thebed CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system an d s h e ddi ng new hope on the mind. A perse verance i n it s use h as b een the happy means of relieving b tatlY thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per toanent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fa llen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressin g train of Symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those p erso ns who, by an i mmoderate indulgen ce i n the i r passions, have ruined their constitutions and b roug h t ou a perfect ta b s dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge ?orally administers is not confined to these alone : the la titudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a dise ase d and unprolific frame—the deli , Cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calatnitous symptoms of a consumpt i ve ha b it, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave! Such Vlts these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy acuni will re s t ore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life, It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and that 1, g ent l y astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives proper tensity whih a good digetion requ ires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and Pirits, in place of lassit u d e an d d e bili ty, and to the aged and in firm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give !nitnortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the iTtutrin of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract ,s u e close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is 'atable of effecting this grand desideratum. • die ite Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In * for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and i ll k nlg as a ge nera l restorat i ve on debilitated constitutions, TO l ug from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. e studious as well a s th e sedentary part of the community never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, g le n removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mi n d, ; "" w nve. atlio memory , And enlivens the imagination.

The very little support which even the r them have received, considering the weals' of the Town, must be accounted for, _ objects and views not having been promine,— fore all classes of the Inhabitants. I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there n, one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribe to any of the charities of the toWn, and not one in ten (who,. .names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any-of tilec charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely the name of one appears who might not subscribe something. I will now give a brief smothery of the objects of the va rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most leip:,y to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the following Associations. JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street. Liverpool Protestant Association. The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the flee circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of God ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath; all , real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supreinaCy of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever to any. foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical Ai;, civil. This it the direct object of our Protesthrit Aksociation, cOnsideretlin its Scriptural foundation-, and its national exercise. Our second object is, to - address onrselVes with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune - still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreigwecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the country, and the con tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious liberty. The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important information. The Association being now in active opera tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore, merely add, that the deficiency in the. Society's funds of nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. •ott:fl Hibernian Society. - The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three. millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as well ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population. who are a large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it app: ints Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far greater number of applications are received from them, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-spools is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will be prudently expensed. No aid is afforded except where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for lit, more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child or, if not, will you not do it ? Lancashire Lord's Day - Society. The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the 11 Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and a increasing multitudes, by the spirit of cominere worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised them, are no more efficient for that object than the I of antiquity to resist the alterations and improve modern warfare. On these accounts,'there seemed lute necessity that the friends of religiOn—who feel t of God to be - the only safety and prosperity ol should combine in some effort (more powerful proceed from individual exertions, however 7.ea10 to stand in the breach against the wide and was Sabbath •violations, by the formation 'of ev So, should have for its object the amtmdment of pi and principle on this momentous subject—the spiritual light upon the cotumon mind—the a those who might wish for help in the high duty holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such might have Christian courage to lift up their vc deliberate assemblies of the nation against this gression of the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instramc— tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. Church Pastoral Aid Society. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates and scripture readers, at an annual expense of X 590, while the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of this port. _Ts in eat ti MODERN HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum. MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of lie breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs,. wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,— at the following Paris charges:— A single tificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on tine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the fi style, with fine gold sockets, usably 2 , 0 0 Loos c e h T ar e g e e t d h 4 f o astn n e e d a , s arising either from age, diseme, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

SIGHT RESTORED ! NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED ! 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 Treasury, TS universally recommen d e d b y t h e Faculty for its efficacy in removi ng Di sor d ers i nc id ent to the Ryes and Head. It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In cases 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 consutner. 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, 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 Grinastone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

The discoiery of Mr. 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. Cheltenha»z Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., 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 serena 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.

The Mariner's Church --- --- Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owinc , to the necessary repairs of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and flatmen. The Naval and Military Bible Society, and Prayer Book and homily Society, Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss.

The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture. and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions, Liverpool Jewish Institution. The object of this Institution is to p rov id e a temporary asylum for enquiring iatndhacsonaztleyd aJnesz,raenddtialeftebreneeileentti months' experience , intentions of the promoters. While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren, the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. Much good is being done ; but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the management of such schools, by supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred Scriptures, or extracts, without note o r commen t, e i t h er gra tuitously or at reduce d prices. Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The name of this Society sutficiently'explains its object. It is to lead the lost sheep of the hoUse of Israel to that Sa viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store tier the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There arc 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three mission:l:it's arc converted Jews. . The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christi The whole income of all the above Societies togeth the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a - } x tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little 11101%. £3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the toy tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per a: to the whole of the above Societies tw,etl.er, and would produce £5OOO.

MILK PUNCH THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for near ly a century, been duly appreciated at CHI6HESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projgr of this delectable beverage had his abode; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, anal 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 vivant: 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 sweetnets 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.

EXTRAORDINARY MONOMANIA.—A Lyons paper states that a man, rather advanced in life, was arrested, a few days ago, in that city, on a charge of mendicity. He had made a considerable collection, aided by certificates from various ecclesiastics. On his being searched, his pocket-book was found to contain eight bank-notes of 1000 f each, and in his pockets was a considerable sum in specie. He was questioned how, with so much wealth, he could venture to degrade him self by begging, and replied, that he had a great many grand children, to whom lie wished to leave a handsome indepen dence. He was, in fact, a lunatic, with the monomania of mendicity, and has been ascertained to be worth 150,000 f. He has two sons established in a thriving manufactory near Rouen, and two daughters, bot h advantageously married. His malady came upon him some years ago ; and his s ons took the precaution of wri ting to the chief magistrates of the county, warning them o f it, and requesting that he might be sent back to his family. This has been complied with by the Procureur du Roi of Lyons. RUFFS.—Queeu Elizabeth and he r ladies are represented in all pictures as cased in whalebone, with waists very long, and made exce ss i ve l y small by tight ' lacing lacing; with enormous stiff ruffs rou n d t h eir throats, and small caps of point-lace, which now go b y the name of Queen Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. The ruff was sometimes kept upright by a wire frame ; an d was sometimes so stiffly starched as to stand lip by itself. Starch of various kinds came into fashion ; and, in the next reign, a certain Mrs. Turner brought over from abroad the method of making yellow starch, which was so much admired, that every fashionable lady appeared in a yel low ruff (toile up with Mrs. Turner's starch. Mrs. Turner was at length hanged for murder. She appeared on the scaf fold in a handsome yellow ruff. Every lady threw away hers ; and not a yellow ruff was ever seen more. The starching of ruf f s became so important a business, that a Dutch woman, named Van der Plasse, came to London to carry o n an d teach the art. The premium she asked was five pounds —a great sum in those days—and an additional pound for the secret of preparing the starch.—Guide to Trade. wee' tiod He 50 av" o ° ' hv ail ; i
