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 «f the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhilitation of Champagne; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, -TH E GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit.

GALT, BARPF, and BENNETT, 14, GOREE PIAZZAS, LIVERPOOL, are appointed SOLE AGENTS for the TALACRE COAL, IRON, and STONE COMPANY. The valuable qualities and properties of these Articles will be found fully described in the following Testi monials from eminent scientific authorities : To the Editor of Saunders' News Letter. Royal Dublin Society's Laboratory, 30th July, 1839. Sir,—A quantity of the Talacre Coal, taken from a cargo in the Company's stores, without any kind of selection what ever, having been sent to me-trrr trial, with a view to 3gt'PT tain its fitness for domestic and other purposes, J. have used it in all our c o m mon ti re-p la ces, as t h e open grate, close stove, and furnace. I have also submitted it to chemical examination, and I have no hesitation in saying that I con sider it an excellent Coal, well adapted both for domestic use and for the purposes of the arts and manufactures. It is remarkably free from slate and iron pyrites, or sul phuret of iron. It is not a heavy or hard Coal, but easily breaks into small pieces. It kindles readily, burns in the open grate freely and pleasantly, producing a cheerful fire, with much heat and flame. It is not what may be considered a caking coal ; for, in burning, it cokes so little that it scarcely requires stirring. It is a lively, but Ido not consider it a swift Coal : it is a Coal that can be burned with very little waste. Its cinders are very good, yield a durable heat, and leave only about one-fiftieth of incombustible ashes, con sisting of earthy matter and oxide of iron. If 1 mistake not, this Coal will soon become a favourite in the kitchen. The PHILOSOPHICAL INSTRUMENTS will be sold on Wed nesday, and comprise valuable Air Pump, Cylinder Electrical Machine, and Apparatus.. to both ; Compound Microscope, Phantasmagoria, Theodolites, by 1y water, a complete Set of Models 'for Illustrating the several Mechanical Powers, Pair of 10-inch Globes, &c. The ‘vhole Will be on view on Monday next, the 15th, when Catalogues may be had at the Place of Sale, and of Messrs. T. WixsrAN . Luv and SONS, Church-street. The Talacre Coal, in my opinion, will he found a valuable fuel in breweries, distilleries, glass-houses, vitriol works, &c. The circumstance of its not caking to any extent fits it admirably for furnaces. We cannot use caking coal in our smelting furnaCes without admixture of coke or charcoal; whereas the Talacre Coal may be used alone, and affords a very intense heat. From some experiments I made on the smelting of iron and copper in a wind furnace, using only this Coal, the heat produced exceeded my most sanguine expecta tions, and the results I obtained were most satisfactory. This Coal is well adapted for making gas, yielding a large quantity of good quality, which burns with a clear white light. It also makes coke of a very good quality. Such are the valuable properties of the Talacre Coal that it must, I think, soon recommend itself to a discerning pub lia —I Sir, your obedient servant. EDMUND DAVEY, Prof. Chem.

IL 11. BRETT, Ch. D.F.L.S. &c. Laboratory, Apothecaries' Hall, Liverpool, Bth August, 1839. A PAPER READ AT THE INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS. London, 30th March, 1840. TALACRE STONE. I have the pleasure to offer to your notice a Stone Quarry in North Wales, whose produce is now importing into Lon don, two cargoes having already arrived ; and, unless I am much mistaken, the introduction of this stone to the British architects will prove a valuable boon. The quarries are situ ated on the coast of Flintshire, within a mile of the Point of Ayr, at the mouth of the estuary of the Dee, and adjoining the grounds of Talacre*Hall, the scat of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. The mineralogicaleharacter of this stone is that of silicious sand stone, with an argillo-silicious cement. It is of great density, a cubic foot weighing 15411bs.,—is: worked with great ease, and, being remarkably free from hard untractable veins and soft places, is capable of a very smooth surface, a fine arris, and the most delicate carving. The closeness of its texture and the fineness of its grain render it very desir able for external work in a large city, as it prevents the soot from adhering to it, and thus clogging up the mouldings and carvings, reducing them to an undistinguishable mass of of blackness—a fault justly complained of in the Bath and Portland stones. For landings and steps, the Talacre Stone far excels the very best kinds of Yorkshire stone, as it is superior in strength, and not liable to scale in the unsightly manner that so frequently destroys the appearance of the the finest pave ments of Yorkshire stone, as may be seen near the post-office and in the Temple ; and as the Quarries are now in the pos session of a London Company (The Talacre Coal and Iron Company), an abundant supply of large sized' stone may be expected. Its colour is very uniform, and to my taste, has a beautiful tone, which eminently fits it for interior finishings, especially in the Gothic style. Its durability may be seen in the shrine of St. Winifred's well, at Holywell, in Flintshire, which was constructed of this stone in the 15th century, and though exposed to the humidity of the air, incident to the neighbourhood of moun tains and an arm of the sea, as well as to the clouds of sul phurous smoke from the numerous works on the stream issuing from that celebrated spring, yet still preserves its rich and delicate carvings in a very perfect state. Many other ancient buildings in the neighbourhood have been constructed or ornamented with this stone, as the ancient mansion in the village of Llanasa, with its curious carved porch, erected in 1642, the carvings and ashlar of which are still very per fect ; the quoins of Rhyddlan and Denbigh castles, built the latter end of the 13th century; and among modern buildings, Talacre Hall, the seat' of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. the masonry of which is th e a d m i ra ti on o f a ll . I may mention that the chimney pieces of this mansion, in the Gothic style, are carved in this stone, and have a very beautiful effect. The following is the result of an experiment made on the Comparative strength of the Talacre stone with the best Yorkshire : A piece of Talacre stone, 2 feet GI inches long, 3 1 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, bore for several minutes a weight of Best Yorkshire, of the same .size, broke immediately with a pressure of 4 cwt. 0 qr. 11 lbs. I may add that from the proximity of thee-quarries to the new harbour of port Talacre, this stone can be brought to London at a price little, if at all, exceeding that of Y or k s hi re stone. JOHN JENKINS. 4 cwt. 2 qrs. 1 lb. TEST OF THE POROSITY OF TALACRE STONE, AS COMPARED WITH BALSOVER MOOR. Two pieces of stone, one of Balsover Moor and the other of Talacre, eaeh weighing LOOO grains, were put at the same time into two different vessels of the same size, each contain ing equal quantities of water. After remaining in the water for 48 hours they.were taken out, and allowed to stand a few minutes to enable the water on the surface to run off; they were then weighed with the following result :—The Balsover was found to weigh 1053 grains, thus showing it to have ab sorbed 53 grains weight of water. The Talacre weighed 1031 grains, absorbing 31 grains of water. The obvious cause of this great difference being the loose, and consequently porous structure of the one stone over the other. This experiment being repeated, it was found that the 1000 grains of Balsover Moor absorbed 45 grains in four hours; the 1000 grains of Talacre absorbed 30 grains in the same time, and atter the expiration of two hours more, the stones were again weighed, the Balsover had absorved 8 grains more water and the Ta lacre 1 grain. They were then returned to the water and al lowed to stand forty-eight hours, but without any additional weight on the part of either. . When a , stone is required to wear well, and is much ex posed to the weather, porosity is the worst defect it can pos sess. In the first place it allows vegetation to take place, by giving room for the roots to fix themselves, and containing so much water promotes, as well as supplies such vegetation, to a most injurious degree. Secondly, its porosity is at tended with a more direct evil ; from its structure readily ad mitting water by absorption, in summer weather heavy showers coming on, and immediately afterwards a bright and hot sun makes its appearance shining with great power, the porous stone absorbing a deal of water, the sun soon dries and warms the surface, which warmth is, in a very short space of time, communicated to the inner part of the stone, and causes the, water to expand, b e i ng una b le to make its escape the stone scales, and flat thin pieces fall off. These remarks also hold good in frosty weather, especially when the frost comes on suddenly after much wet, the pressure on the top and sides of the stone causes it to expand towards the surface, which is also one of the causes of the stone scaling. These and other remarks that could be adduced, render it evident that for public buildings, stones of the closest texture should be selected, being less subject to injury from the weather, as above stated. The absorbing power of these stones is nearly in the ratio of 3 to 5. CHARLES WATT, Jun., Operative Chemist. N.B.—The Balsover stone was selected and supposed to be superior to any other in the United Kingdom. A Stock of the above COAL, FLAGS, &c., is now depo sited at the Yard, 68, WATERLOO -ROAD, where orders will be carefully and punctually attended to. The front of the Apothecaries' Hall, in Colquitt-street, Liverpool, is built of the Talacre Stone. 7 1 ,1 110 ... t„. ...:) / /1 ..--, ......, FAMILY BOARDJ )-, " ' - h !.. , K. , ‘ ~... .„. 41 ; ..

Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whateverseenction 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 Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, Gth May, 1839.—We copy the fol ' lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery 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. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—." That most emi nent oculist. James Ware, Esu..,,F,A.S-, was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in tha 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 th - e 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 Invento r o f Eye Snuff, made from aroma ti c h er b s, 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 consumers. Grimstone's . Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries.”—Old Eng land, 11th January, 18-10. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is • a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNuFF.—Notwithstanding the sys , tern of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, 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, Any. 26,1538. " if any testimony were wanting to proye the efficacy of Grimstone 's Eye Snuff, we should he most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.

Near to York.—The famed Kilnwick Percy Estate, with Mansion, Park and Ornamental Waters, and a Demesne extending to 1,600 Acres of excellent Land, within a per fect ring fence, and manorial rights and privileges to a great extent. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is much flattered by having received the instructions of ROBERT DENISON, ESQ. to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 30th of July, at Twelve o'Clock, A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, and certainly one of THE MOST DISTINGUISHED THROUGHOUT THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. It is not a little fortunate and delightful reminiscence for the individual who has to compose this feeble effort that the FAME OF KILNWICK PERCY stands not in need of artificial aid to pourtray its multifarious beauties. It has acquired a renown that would be impaired by any attempt that Mr. Robins could perpetrate in an en deavour to eulogise it; and therefore he feels relieved from a necessity to go very much into detail, and will confine himself to the higher points and advantages, some of which would perchance escape observation. It is beyond doubt one of the MOST INFLUENTIAL ESTATES IN THE COUNTY ; but it may be as well to demonstrate the fact by a few con cise remarks : it includes THE WHOLE TOWNSHIP OF KILNWICK PERCY, which contains SIXTEEN HUNDRED ACRES of exceedingly good land, the whole of which is convertible ; and it is not a little refreshing at this moment to witness the effect which has been produced by extraordinary good farm ing ; the crops speak intelligibly, and leave competition at a great distance; it is seen on the instant that the hand and head of an agricultural artiste has been busily and success fully employed, and displays a proud confirmation of what may be accomplished by talent and capital. It may be re marked as a fact of rare occurrence, that throughout the de mesne there is not a single acre of land that has not passed the ordeal of Mr. Denison's penetrating eye and judgment. It has been drained throughout, and the whole at this moment presents the most refreshing contrast to any con temporary property, and shows the satisfactory result of an estate so perfect throughout as not to have left (even Capa bility Brown, had he been alive) the opportunity to indulge in his favourite passion of improvement, THE MANSION HOUSM is every thing that can be required ; it is seen nestling under the wings and fostering care of the surrounding lofty hills by which it is delightfully screened from the importunity of win try winds; THE SPLENDID AMPHITHEATRE AND DIVERSI FIED VIEWS must be seen to be appreciated. The steep ascent is clothed in verdure to the summit. THE WOODLAND SCENERY, of SURPASSING BEAUTY, is diversified by lofty projecting hills and fertile dells. Lux uriant banks pleading in their beauteous form at the foot of the hanging woods, perpetual ivy which entwines and adorns the countless thousands of forest trees, vistas formed by nature's hand, the hermitage, the fishing ponds, a valley teeming in wild luxuriance, the ripling of the waters and pelucid stream gently gliding through the groves, the Ameri can plants fresh and green in little myriads, divesting the winter months of anything like ennui or discomfort, com plete a coup d'ceil that -seem to approach Elysium, and pro duce an effect that it would be idle to attempt to describe through this imperfect sketch— •` There's nothing left to Fancy's guess, You see that all is loveliness." Claude would have delighted to exert his pencil in such a cause, and Scotia's bard would have been well employed in giving it effect. THE FINELY WOODED PARK, with its EXTENSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL WATERS, and vessels in full costume, aid this delightful illusion, and the land is, besides, unusually productive. Upon the PLEASURE AND PARK FARMS, including SEVEN HUNDRED ACRES of FINE FEED ING GRASS LAND, may be seen, in great numbers, oxen that will put in strong claims at Christmas to the Smithfield prizes. After this de claration, the quality of the soil will no longer be equivocal. But to return to the abode ;—it is adapted to suit the views of a family of pretensions, for whom there would be abun dant accommodation. Ingenuity and a little tact have, how eer, precluded the slightest appearance of being overhoused. The principal rooms are well proportioned, and the domestic accommodation throughout so complete as to leave nothing to be desired ; an d i t must be borne in mind, that there is not the slightest need of any outlay, either in real or orna mental decoration. The Offices, which are of recent creation, are not to be surpassed anywhere : THE SPLENDID CONSERVATORIES give a ton to the ensemble. A Flower Garden, adorned by ROCK WORK AND THE FOUNTAIN, are unceasingly improving and increasing the beauty of the spectacle. Amid this scene of loveliness, adorned by so much of wood and water, hill and dale, with grounds undu lating, everywhere there is a perpetual effort for the ascen dancy. which renders it difficult to award the prize. The writer has only to add, that if he possessed the power of in vention (he presumes not to hint at that of eloquence), he would be at a loss to create a single, solitary want at Kiln wick ; indeed perfection may be said to prevail throughout. THE LITTLE CHURCH IN THE PARK, of the Saxon order, is close at hand, fitted up in solid carved oak, with ancient glass window ;—nor must the situation he treated lightly. York, with its splendid fame and magnifi cent Minster, is within fifteen miles ; Leeds, with its railway. a little more removed ; and Pocklington is close by. But the grand desideratum is yet to be proclaimed ; it is WITHIN TEN HOURS DRIVE OF LONDON, and an M.P. will now breakfast in the bosom of his family, and surprise the Honourable Members of St. Stephen's by his eloquence the same evening. THE GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS are so beautiful as to harmonize with the landscape ; and it may be added, they are so complete that no auxiliary aid is required. THE HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES AND PINERY are formed upon the new principle of hot water, and the fruit is incomparably fine. The famed Beech Tree, which has already NUMBERED 400 YEARS ON THE LAWN, is 270 feet in circumference. There is a Terrace Drive of two miles around the estate. To conclude; it is affirmed (without fear of any one to gainsay it) that Kilnwick pos sesses a combination that would indeed be vain to seek else where. The rental and value will approach THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR. It can only be seen by a ticket, to be had of Messrs. AT.• KINSON, DIIIII, and BOLLAND, Solicitors, Leeds, or at Mr. ROBINS'S Office, London. P.S.—Tbe printed particulars will be ready twenty-eight days antecedently to the sale, with a drawing and plan, to be had at the Salutation, Wetherby • the Royal Hotel, Leeds ; Waterloo, Liv er p oo l ; Y or k H era ld and Courant Offices, and Simpson's Hotel, York ; the Manchester Times and Adver tiser Offices, Manchester ; and at the Auction Mart, London. OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or Habitual Costiv eness , Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable cure and preventive of Gout. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost unprecedented sale which it has obtained has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always ready to take advantage of the popularity of another's invention ; and this medicine has therefore been very exten sively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its pro perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Moxon and Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its valuable . properties have obtained for it the recommendatio n o f many members of the medical profession, (among others those of Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an invaluable companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary student; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle. - - Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 4s. Gd., and Hs. each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and Ilairnes, Edinburgh.

THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought inlet& gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her 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 ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; line black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found 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 by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Piddin g's How- QuA's MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9(1. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks i t right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that pe r i o d, there is littl e doubt but tea will advance da ily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUN POWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JON RHODES PM - DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. Bolton G. J. French, Silk Mercer. Burnley J.
