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 in the following com plaints :—Nocturnrnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous En largment of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheu matisms, &c., &c. ; in freeing the system after a course of Mercury its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies the blood, and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy.nnd regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipilatous in nan illation, from which so many persons periodically suffer; and when taken in 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 by firmness of flesh, good appe tite, and freshness of the complexion. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, 52, Lord street, Liverpool, in bottles at lls., 225., and Ms. per bottle. N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country, boxes are safely packed up, containing Two 22-shillingbottles for .t'2, and Cases equ a l to Five for £5, upon receipt of a Post-office order.—The Preparation will keep in any climate. RAMAGE'S CONCENTRATED COMPOUND 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 we a k ness , l anguor , 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 headaches. THE EFFECT of this Preparation of Iron is to act as a per manent Tonic. By strengthening and invigorating the sto mach and digestive organs, the appetite is not only increased, but the food taken is properly digested, the blood is made in better quality and larger quantity , thereby the acti on o f t h e heart is t ncreased, rendering the pulse fuller andstronger, aug menting the temperature of the body, and improving the tone of the muscular fibre. This Medicine is much assisted by using RAIKAGE'S LAXA TIVE PILLS at the same time.

As the end of the year approaches, every Banker, Solicitor, Merchant, and Tradesman, will find, on fire mutates' reflection, how vitally his property and comfort are involved in the pre servation of his Books. MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESTSTING, NON-CONDUCTING, AND EVAPORATING SAFES AND BOXES, afford the only rational and practical security—may be fitted to all other Safes, and are regulated in various thicknesses, (see circulars,) to resist the fire arising from the burning down of all classes of buildings. After thrty years' experience of the Patentees, somewhat industriously devoted to the one object, and the benefit of the practical hints from their numerous Agents throughout the United Kingdom, and almost all parts of the commercial world, including perhapslooo of the best mechanics of the day, who are constantly working over all classes, and investigating every fire that occurs, they have made most important improvements in their manufactures, and they earnestly solicit inspection of their extensive and va ried Stock at their Lord-street, and 47 to 45 Cable-street.

FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the Hair is Infants and Young Children is, by inexperienced mothers and nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be snore injurious than the supposition that neglect in thisparticularcan continue with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in the nursery ; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets, or bald heads, of after years, are traceable to this early period. OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, long celebrated for its genial and invigorating qualities, in promoting and restoring the growth of the Hair, is peculiarly fitted (applied according to the printed directions) for application during the tender years of infancy and childhood ; and no nursery where perso nal advantages are held in any estimation, should be without it.

FASHIONABLE RESTAURANT.—Those who have not yet visited the Oriental Divan, Clayton-square, should not omit an opportutunity, for the arrangements not only surpass those of every similar hotel, but the viands are of the choicest kinds. An excellent steak, cut in the London style, with ell the etceteras, is charged Bd., and it may be finished with half-pint.of splendid amontillado sberry, or fine flavoured port, for one shilling. This is but a single article, but others are charged proportionately low ; deed, so low and so excellent as to have called from the local press the following notices The elegance with wrath it is fitted, the promptitude and neatness with which every thing is served up, render it Mt most fashionable restaurant."—Standard.

THE NORTHERN DAILY EXPRESS NEWSPAPER • COMPANY, CAPITAL, £15,000. in 600 SHARES, of .t . 25 Each. DEPOSIT, 24.6 d. per Share. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED UNDER 7 & S VIC., CAP. 110. THE object of this Company is to establish for Liverpool and Manchester a Daily Newspaper, at the low charge of Twocence-halfpenny to Subscribers, and Threepence to casual Purchasers, and also to afford the Mercantile and Trading classes a first-rate medium for the Publication of Ad vertisements, at the 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 between them, are taken into consideration. Individual enterprise appears to have staggered at the idea of undertaking so formidable a scheme, and it has consequently been left to the Promoters 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 amount 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 be 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., blebn 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 ERE THERTON, Esq., Solicitor, Eldon Chambers, South John-street, or to Mr. CHARLES WILLMER, News Agent, 5, South John street, Liverpool.

In addition to Food, articles of Bedding and Clothirg 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 the late 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, wi❑ 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.

BATHS AND WASH HOUSES FOR THE POOR. IT is proposed to raise, by Public Subscriptiok, a sum of Money, to be invested for the benefit Nif Mrs. WILKINSON, to whose benevolence and industry the Public are mainly indebted for the establishment of literus and WASH-HousEs for the Poon. The following account of the labours of this excellent person may be relied upon : ORIGIN OF THE LIVERPOOL BATHS AND WASH HOUSES. " In the spring of the year 1832 the apprehension of cholera impressed the importance of cleanliness upon all classes with the vividness of a newly-discovered 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 a whole family, often lodgers also, for the facilities of washing, or the possibility of drying, the clothes of the inmates. From 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 small boiler. On 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 cloth& was the next difficulty. This was over come by passing cords from her own back window to that of a kind neighbour opposite, on which 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 dethanded, in an unprecedented 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 discipline of life is designed. The same active kindness which opened her house to her neighbours, led the woman above mentioned, regardless of all dancer to herself, to visit the sick, to lend them all her sheets, her blankets, her clothes. But she could not allow them to be burnt. A medical man assured her that some chloride of lime put into the water in which she steeped them would destroy the infection. The rapid circula tion of her own little stock being quite inadequate to supply the pressing wants of her neighbours, she applied to the visitors of the District Provident Society for more sheets and clothes to lend, fOr soap to wash them with, and women to assist her. For her own services, or for the use of the kitchen, she re ceived, during the first visitation of the cholera, no remunera tion. Q° The value of this mode of assisting the poor, when thus brought under their notice, was at once felt by the visitors. The cellar under this house was hired, and fitted up with a se cond-hand boiler, a wine cask for a cistern, and some troughs divided into compartments for tubs. It was low and dark, crowded, and filled with steam ; yet, with only this accommo dation, an average of eighty-five families a-week were for se veral years preserved from all the evils of washing in their own confined and crowded rooms, and of putting on their clothes half dried. All infected clothes were received and waslied in the kitchen. A note from any medical man was all that was required. The expenses of this part of the establishment were met partly by assistance from the Provident District Society, partly by pri vate subscriptions."—Historical Register. No danger or fatigue has deterred her from sitting up with the sick ; and she and her husband have worked hard, and lived hard, to support orphans whose only claim upon them was the remembrance of the kindness they had received when left orphans themielves.* Many of the children had claims on the parish, but these were never urged, and 2s. a-week, which one child was receiving at the time they took charge of him, and ss. which five others were receiving, was at once returned; and a remission of her payment of poor-rates is all she ever re ceived for her care. The South Corporation Infant School arose from a number of children she had collected in her bed. room, whose parents were ill of cholera. * some of the orphans referred to were— Four Joneses, taken in 1824.

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 following prospectus : It is humbly proposed that a fund should be raised for the purpose of rewarding Mrs. Wilkinson, in whose unwearied efforts to assist her poor neighbours at the time of the cholera, the first attempts originated to establish a public wash-house or laundry, which have since been 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 dews of Heaven, the seed sown by this wo man's humble hand has been blest in 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 sulendid and permanent benefit to society. Hut to return to its originator. It remains with our country to reward a merit, which, in its fearlessness of danger and con tagion, emulates the courage, and. in its lowly 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 perish." 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 (arth, 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 and precarious 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'us "to love our neighbour as ourself?" Where else a stronger enforce ment of that holy lesson which enjoins th 2 rich to " consider the-poor?" 4th Nov., 1846. • R. L.
