T PRIESTLEY,THEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs J o 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 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 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 GUIDE BOOKS AND TRAVELLING MAPS, For England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, of recent pub- • licatfon.

FAMILY HAIR ILL OIL has stood the test of thirty years, and is patro nised by the most illustrious personages. It is held in high estimation at the Toilet as a Family Hair Oil'; it is of in estimable worth, and will preserve the Hair froni infancy to old age. J. M. need not caution the Public. • The Hair Oils by which the country is inundated are already cried down by persons who have, in all probability, supplied them ; the trash, as so represented, is injurious in the extreme ; the dryness it produces, as well as turning the Hair grey, not unfrequently produce headache. The Botanic or Family Oil is distinguished from every other by its einolient and nutri li°lls properties ; it preserves the scalp agreeably cool , and Lt is an undoubted fact that, with the growth of Hair, the health i s i mprove d. Th e mode now adopted for the sale of the Botanic or Family Hair Oil will undoubtedly affect the London trade, and probably reform it. J. M. will p ersonall y a PPuint his Agents over England ; he will advertise his Oil, stating facts only, which his Agents will warrant; and lie assures his customers, no fraud will be attempted b y false re presentation. But how different is the London trade : t he proprietors depend on the advertisement alone—the vendors are not accountable—thus is the country inundated with trash which no person is answerable for. th e followin g s t a te m ent cannot fail to give a confidence of . superior efficacy of the Botanic Oil : — From 1820 to 1830 j Middlewood's genuine botanic oil was interdicted by go vernment, on the ground that it possessed properties, an d Performed such cures of baldness, as brought it within e meaning of the patent medicine act, and not until its 81 :9t utility in preserving the hair was submitted to parliament, ~k 1 a legal sale be effected. The petition presented, met t w iu lt e u the kindest attention, and the chancellor of the exche exempted it from the medicine duty, to be sold under the r d bY the of hair oil. The petition was presented , e Right Hon. Wm. Huskisson, on the 10th April, 1830, while T he ti G oulburn was chancellor of the exchequer. al fo otanic Oil is sold at 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., in boxes ; Parker-Street,Mr. i t t x h:T i oile_t, 10s. per bo . ttle.

To, persona, 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, tko. 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.

The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le monade, and ifs a refreshing drink in summer nothing can be more agreeable. PRIESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR 'DINNER PILLS.

UPHOLSTERY AND GENERAL WAREHOU SF FURNISHING APPEAL TO CHRISTIANS ABLIND and destitute Clergyman, of the Established Church, whose melancholy case of suffering and distress has been for some time before the Irish public, in acknow ledging the benefactions and contributions of a few truly Christian and charitable individuals (to whom he returns his most sincere and grateful thanks), begs leave to state, that although sundry small sums, received at distant intervals, have saved him from actual starvation, yet still, from their amount, he has been able merely to support nature by one poor and scanty meal each day ; •in addition to which, he and his family have parted with almost every article of clothing, for the purpose of purchasing food. He now, as a last and expiring effort to earn support for himself and family, hum bly informs his former benefactors, and all who are disposed to assist the helplesS and afflicted, that, having been strongly recommended by some of the Faculty in Dublin, he has come to London to seek the advice of the highly celebrated and humane oculist Mr. Alexander, and submit to an operation on his eyes for the restoration of his sight. Still, alas ! although this distressed Clergyman is conscious that by such skilful and (under Divine Providence) efficacious means, he may once more enjoy the blessing of sight, and thereby be enabled to seek employment in his sacred profes sion, yet (having failed hitherto in every application to be placed on one of the public charities—having received no compensation for an immense arrear of tithe composition due to his late murdered father—and having lost all his remaining family property by an unsuccessful lawsuit,) poor and penny less, himself and family driven to the last extremity, he can not remain in London during the course of treatment neces sary for, or consequent upon, such an operation, unless the feeling, the Christian, and the benevolent, will assist and contribute towards the accomplishment of an object of so truly humane and charitable a nature. This Clergyman therefore calls, in accents of supplication, upon all whom the Lord has blessed with means to aid him in this his last effort to save himself (although at the cost of suffering and pain) front the more rgonizing situation of want, dependenae, and beggary. "We entreats of all who profess and call themselves Christians, to recollect how once a compas sionate Saviour listened to and relieved the case of the poor blind man in the Gospel. And so, in making this appeal, this suppliant for charity indulges in the hope that few, if any, will be found who cannot appreciate the example of an all merciful Saviour, or who will withhold that help which, under God, may restore a fellow-creature and Clergyman not only to the great blessing of sight, but to his place in the Church and society. . . . — ii4'" --- Contributions received in London, at the office of the Record newspaper; by Sir Astley Cooper, Bart., 39, Conduit-street; by Mr. * Nisbet, Berners-street ; by Mr. Mortimer, 21, Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square ; and by Henry Alexander, Esq., 6, Cork-street, Burlington-street.

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 sen Vick Me tam tvia. —;0- - ,-ve used it in all our common iire-pldce, as toe 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 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 hen. ---. 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 lic.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant. EDMUND DAVEY, Prof. Chem.

I have the pleasure to oiler 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 seat of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. The mineralogicalcharacter of this stone is that of silicious sand stone, with an argillo-silicious cem ent. It is of great density, a cubic foot weighing- 1541-lbs.,—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 u ndistinguishable 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 Edward Mostyn, Bart. the masonry of which is the admiration of all. 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 61 inches long, 33. 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 the quarries to the new harbour of port Talucre, this stone can be brought to London at a price little, if at all, exceeding that of Yorkshire stone. JOHN JENKINS. 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, each weighing 1,000 grains, were put at the same time into two different vessels o f t h e same size, each contain ing equal quantities of water. Atter 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 theh 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 ; th e 1000 gra i ns o f Talacre absorbed 30 grains in the same time, and after the expiration of two hours more, the stones wereagain 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 i wear well, and i s muc h ex posed to the weather, porosity s 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 ; fromits structure readily ad mitting water by absorption, .in summer w ea th er . h eav y 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 , being unable 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 atter 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, stone s o f th e c l osest 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.

The ringleaders were subsequently brought'before the magistrates, and held to bail. By the Gazette of Tuesday night, we perceive that Prince Albert has had the good taste to appoint Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D., F.

The following appointments have also been announced : John Forbes, M.D., and Theodore Gordon, M.D., deputy inspector-general of hospitals, to be physicians extra ordinary. Sir Benjamin Brodie, Bart., F.R.S., Benjamin Travers, Esq„ F.R.S., and Charles Aston Key, Esq., to be surgeons in ordinary, and Alexander Nasmyth, Esq., M.R.C.S., to be surgeon-dentist. TO PRESERVE CURRANTS WITHOUT SUGAR. lowing recipe may be acceptable now that sugar is so risen in price. Let the fruit be carefully cut from the large stalks, with the smallest bit of stalk to each, that the fruit not being wounded, no moisture may be amongst them. It is necessary to gather thew when the weather is quite dry, having ready some bottles, perfectly clean and dry, into which gently drop the currants, stopping the bottles with cork and rosin, and burying them in a t renc h i n t h e garden with the neck down wards. Cherries and damsons will keep in the same way. CONDUCT OF THE WHIGS DURING THE PENINSULAR \VAR.—The opposition were so inveterate against the Spanish war, that not only did they declaim against it in the most violent manner on all occasions, both in and out of parlia ment, but, if we may believe the contemporary authority of Berthier, actually corresponded, during the most critical pe riod of the contest, with Napoleon himself, and furnished him with ample details on the situation of the English army, and the circumstances which would, in all likelihood, defeat its exertions. It is not surprising that a ministry thus pow erfully thwarted, destitute of any members versed in military combination, with a very scanty majority in parliament, and no support farther than the cold assent of duty from the throne, should, during this critical year, have shrunk from the responsibility of implicating the nation, on a more ex tended scale, in a contest of doubtful issue, even under the most favourable circumstances, which was, to all appearance, to be abandoned as hopeless by their successors. And yet, so little can even the greatest sagacity or the strongest intel lect foresee the ultimate results of human actions, and so strangely does Providence work out its mysterious designs by the intervention of free agents, and the passions often of a diametrically opposite tendency of mankind, that if there are any circumstances more than others to which the immediate catastrophe which occasioned the fall of Napoleon is to be ascribed, it is the unbroken triumphs of Suchetintotmheagenaisft; and the strenuous efforts of the English opposition the dangers, and underrate the great powers possessed by Wellington in the west of the peninsula. Being accus tomed to measure the chances of success in a military contest by the achievements of the regular troops employed, and an en tire stranger to the passions an d actions of parties in a free com munity, he not unreas ona bl y conc luded,when the last a rmy in Spain capitulated a t V a l encia, and the whole country, from the Pyrenees to Gibraltar, had, with the exception of a few mountain districts, submitted to his authority, that the contest in the Peni nsu l a was at an end, so far e as a t r h t y e S i n p a nja r r e ,s ' at were concerned • and when h e beheld th Britain, who had all alon g d enounced the war party as utterly hopeless and irrational on the part of this country, and sonic of whom, in their zeal against its continua nc e and to demon strate its abs ur di ty, had actually corresponded with himself; even at the crisis of the contest, on the eve of getting posses sion of the re i ns of power in London ; he was naturally led to believe that no cause for disquiet existed, in consequence of the future efforts of England and Spain. He was thus tempted to prosecute, without hesitation, his preparations for the Russian war, and before finishing the conflict in the penin sula, plunge into the perils of the Moscow campaign ; and the double strain it was, as he himself told us, which proved fatal to the empire. Had. he been less successful in the east of Spain—had the English opposition less strenuously asserted the impoliey and hopelessness of British resistance in the west, he would probably have cleared his rear before engaging with a new enemy in front.—Alison's History of Europe. —The fol- /4 C I l -S.--Z %• { --. 1 .--a---)--/,.,-t_ 1 4 Z- ,ervation Very many dissenters have come church through the ministry of the Re town ; and several of them are to be cr ing visit of the bishop. tenham for confirmation There are SO —Cheltenham A week of splendid weather has ena in this neighbourhood to reap and car . portion of their wheat.

HOL YHEAD. — Active preparations are made, under t, superintendance of the harbour-master, to blast the roc, called Stag Rock, situated about 400 yards from the pier end, in the E.N.E. direction.
