PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs el • 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 Seidlit: 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 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 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, &e. 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 tha 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. I n conjunction withl 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. These pills are purely Vegetable, and to those troubled with Indigestion or sensation of fulness at the stomach after meals they sre invaluable.—ln Boxes at Is. and 2s. 6d. each.

CHINESE GRASSHOPPERS.—Towards night we saw a strange uproar among the people, who were all up in arms, and had divided into sever-1 troops to defend th e i r country ga , • t grasshoppers (which occasion oftentime s a great scarcity an d dearth). These creatures come about once a year, with easterly winds, in such mighty swarms orsqua drons that they devour all they meet with in a few hours, leaving the fields utterly dismantled. To oppose these in vaders the inhabitants march to and fro through the fields with colours flying, shouting and hallooing all the way they go, to prevent these destroyers from fixing arid doing execu tion on their flourishing fields. They drove one flying regi ment of them into the sea, and they fell down upon our heads, and our vessels were actually covered with such masses that we threw them overboard by bushels. —From Ogilvie's Jour nal of Netherlands' East India Company, published in 1669. A MATTER OF COURSE. —When John Philpot Curran was master of the rolls in Ireland, and when appeals fro m his court to that of the chancellor were matter of daily oc currence, the following dialogue took place between Lord Manners, the then chancellor, and Mr. Plunket, the present holder of the seals :—Mr. Plunket : my I have hum bly to mo ve your lordship in the case of ---• The Chan cellor: " Mr. Plunket, I cannot hear anything to-day but motions of course."

LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING . - WEDNESDAY This meeting commenced on Wednesday last; as might be expected, from the state of the weather, the attendance was extremely bare.

BIRKENHEAD BAZAAR On Tuesday last the bazaar, which was announced to pro mote the fund already raised for erecting another church in Birkenhead, was opened. The elegant large room in the Town-hall was tastefully fitted up. Opposite the entrance door and around the room were placed a variety of beautiful banners, on which were inscribed—" Our Country and Laws" —" The Church and Queen"—" If God be for us, who shall be against us ?"—" Behold how good and how pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Elegant colours, belonging to various societies, were also tastefully displayed. Amongst them we noticed—" The Regent Friend ly Society"—" The Independent Order of Odd Fellows"— " The United Order of Odd Fellows," &c. A variety of appropriate mottoes were placed on the stalls, which, with the pillars, were tastefully decorated with evergreens, flowers, and rosettes. At twelve o'clock the room was filled with ladies and gentlemen of the first families in Birkenhead and the neighbourhood. The prices asked by the fair vendors, considering the taste and elegance displayed in the several articles, were exceedingly moderate; and these belles tner chandes, while they uttered their tempting notes of invitation to passers by to purchase their wares, seldom failed in ac complishing their object. The refreshment table was admir ably stored with every delicacy of the season by Mrs. Aspi nall, who pleasingly invited all present to " taste and try" her choice dainties. At the first stall Mrs. Stewart presided; the second, Miss Bradley ; the third, Mrs. Dixon ; the fourth, Mrs. Walton ; the fifth, Mrs. Sudlow ; the sixth, Mrs. Capt. John Philips, R.N. Over the front of this stall was painted the name of the gallant captain, and as an attrac tion to customers, the following lines were suspended on the side of it : See what a lot Of toys I've Come buy of little Johnny ! I've knights and brides, And store besides Of comfits, sweet as honey ; And tops and whips, And gallant ships— Flare up, and spend your money. Here's house and land At your command, • As you may see with o ne eye , While t other rests On Turkish vests All glistening and sunny. Here, in his cave, The hermit grave Is sitting all alone.

Robert Russell, Esq., presented a £lO Batik of England note, specially indorsed by the Dowager Queen Adelaide, which the excellent con ductor of the bazaar, Mr. Case, offered for sale at a premium that would benefit the good cause. Mr. John Sudlow was most active on the occasion, and several other gentlen , en, whose names were unknown to us, were fully employed in assisting the ladies in vending their choice merchandise. To show the good spirit that pervades the inhabitants of Birken head in favour of the established church, we need only state, that on the first day th e lib eral sum of £215 12s. was receiv ed. Tuesday proved a very unfavourable day, in consequence of the quantity of rain that fell ; yet the sum taken at the doors and in the room amounted to £67 9s. MR.

GRAFTING PEA/LS ON THE MOUNTAIN ASH.-At a in( ing of the London Horticultural Society, on the 11th i❑ Dr. Lindley read a communication received from R. Hornby, Esq., containing some observations:on the graft of pears on the mountain ash. Mr. 11. states, that it la) came under his notice, while staying in Switzerland, where he found it very generally practised, and with great success, the crops being both abundant and sure, in a climate and site (on the high plateau of the Taunus mountain, with a poor and shallow sail), where neither pear nor apple would previously fruit, the effect being to retard the blossoms, and give vigour to the constitution. Neither the flesh nor the flavour of the fruit was said to be at all affected ; budding or grafting being alike successful on either old or young stocks by the usual process. Great care must, however, be ta:;en that none of the young shoots which the stocks may make during the first season after working, be removed ; in the succeeding spring, however, b e f ore vegetation commences, all such redundant growth should be cut out closely, and the graft alone be permitted to push in freedom. Its growth will then be luxuriant. A note on the above cutnmunication by Mr. R. Thompson, under-gardener in the society's orchard, was also read, in which he states that the mountain ash was one amongst the various kinds of stocks on which the pear was grafted at the society's garden, and on which subject the following observations were made :—The trees grew very well, but scarcely so vigorously as those on the pear stock, or even on the quince. The fruit was produced at an earlier age of good size, there was no perceptible differ ence in the flavour, when compared with those produced un.ier similar circumstances, but on pear stocks, nor was it observed that the blossoms were at all retarded. The trees did not appear as if they would be long lived, owing to the unequal swelling of th e respective species. The pea r increateJ in diameter more rapidly than the mountain ash. Still, as the latter species is much hardier than the quin ce , an d wou ld t hrive in almost any soil, it might be advantageously us'exl ih a Owe Situttichls. &airs by 21trtion.
