AT a MEETING of MERCHANTS, BROKERS, and others interested, held at the Clarendon Rooms, Liver pool, on FRIDAY, the 10th instant, to take into consideration the Bill for the introduction of the Bonded System into Inland Towns, brought into Parliament by her Majesty's Government, W. P. BUSHBY, Esq. in the Chair, It was Resolved,—That, in the opinion-of this Meeting, no necessity has arisen for the proposed change, whilst the transfer of this branch of business from the seaports to the interior would open new doors to fraud and to depredation, would seriously derange the existing course of trade, and entail on the country a very great and unnecessary expense in the management and collection of the revenue, without giving any adequate advantage to the country at large. That it is highly-expedient that steps should be promptly taken to protect the interests of all classes which may be injuriously affected thereby. That a Committee be now formed to collect evidence to be given before the Select Committee of the House of Commons to whom the bill is referred, and that a Subscription be entered into to defray the necessary expenses.

TO CONNOISEURS IN SODA WATER. IF a highly concentrated combination of Carbonic cid Gas , with a valuable and esteemed Alkali, if unpa Bled spe cific gravity, in an exhaustless spring, suppl ng the ele mentary material, and freed from all i p e and earthy carbonates BE GEMS in the production o first-rate bottle of Soda Water, then ELLIS'S manufact re may fearlessly challenge comparison with all the world. The want of PURE and SUITABLE WATER, in the first place, and the want of perfectly understanding the ma nufacturing process, in the second place, abundantly account for the frequent complaint, disappointment, and annoyance constantly experienced by all true lovers of this delightful and wholesome beverage. The extensive patronage which the-Royal Family, the No bility and Gentry have bestowed upon ELLIS'S SODA WATER," equally attest its excellency and superiority, and it is now the only Fashionable Beverage used at the Tables of Royalty.

There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vastmillti tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the clan of habitual Inveaids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, anr their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM o}‘ SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficaq, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has beeii the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent 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 fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing 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 persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis damns; 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 nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased 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 calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, Improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

Air OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE .L. RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or Habitual Costiveness, 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 hbtained has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled p eons, who are always ready to take advantage of the plarity of another's i nven tion; 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 amo ngst quack specifics, its valuabl e p ro perties have obtained for it the recommendation of 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, part icularly 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. 6d., and Ils. each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and Raimes, Edinburgh. lo glo ;y in the Brii o effected. iNVINTON E , 1840.

It was at the former place 'where the original projectorof this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and 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 rirants 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 sweetness 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 transcendent merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by age. _LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a Most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will he constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

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,) T S universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes 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 consumer. 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 terme it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's \rade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends it use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, pu lished 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.

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, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that i n the third volume of the Medical Society's Works, page this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured 334, 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 Grimst one, he Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herb s , so t judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head , to p ro duce a certaill cure.''—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various a innumerable have be en t h e devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many h ave 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 i ts 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, 1840. We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful r estorative. —Manchester Chronicle. " GRIIISTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we really 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 opthahnia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."— Crown, A ug. 26 , 18 38. " If any t es ti mony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accastowed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &e. &e, —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.

Sir —I think it my incu m b en t d uty to return you my grate ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and I em happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant, To W.

The renowned Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any manner you think best.

THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS' STAKES.—TOuchinp the business on this very important race of this day three weeks, we have only to observe, that 2 to 1 was freely pro posed against Lord Orford's colt this morning; 4 to 1 was the outside offer, bar the Derby crack. It was clear that a very little beyond 4 to 1 would have been accepted on Cru cifix, although Confederate was last night coupled to the Angelica colt in preference. The bettings from Hyde Park Corner have produced the change. Several attempts were made to lay against Wardan ; but no one seemed disposed to rush against the popular feeling. Ten to one in ponies was booked on the Duke of Grafton's horse ; several parties might afterwards have got on at the same figure, as it was tolerably clear there was ample money in " the reserve," had a second gentleman come out in support of Ottoman. It may be noticed, that Crucifix would have been backed for this event and the St. Leger ; the price in a good quarter was 100 to 5 required; it would have been laid to 6, or 12 to 1 to a large sum in various hands against this celebrated two year-old " flyer," for the September race. THE CHESTER Cur.—The following are as nearly the average prices as obtainable:- 11 to 2 against Ld. Miltown's Cruiskeen.—off 8 to 1 „ Sir Thomas Stanlev's Cowboy.—t 84 to 1 „ Mr. J. Henderson f s Lanercost. 11 to 1 „ Mr. Fowler's Gilbert Gurney. —t 12 to 1 „ The Feather.—off 13 to 1 ~ Mr. Robinson's Melbourne. 100 to 7 „ Mr. Price's Pops. 100 to 7 „ Mr. 0. Fairlie's Abraham Newland. 100 to 7 ~ Ld. Eglinton's St. Bennett. 100 to 6 „ Mr. Copeland's King Cole.--t and then 20 to 1 100 to 5 „ Mr. Collet's The Dean. 100 to 4 „ Mr. Allen's Percy. 100 to 4 „ Mr. Speed's Aimwell. THE DERBY.-8 to 1 offered on the field. A very little silver was given to-day for " a score" between Angelica and Launcelot ; the former had the call. Melody was backed at 25 to 1 ; Gambia at 33 to 1; 20 to 1 bid against M u l e y Ishmael, or 100 to 7 against Lord Jersey's two ; 25 to 1 would have been taken in hundreds about Assassin; 30 to 1 was laid to a little money v. Warden ; and 40 to 1 offered against Mr. Robinson's horse—accepted at 1,000 to 22. THE STATE OF JAMAICA. (Prom the Jamaica Standard.) We have refrained from saying much of late upon the state or prospects of agriculture in this and the neighbouring parishes, in the hope that my letting the subject rest awhile, we might, when next resuming it, have occasion to speak more favourably than we have hith...rto been in the habit of doing. We regret to say, however, that these our expec tations have been but very slightly realiszed ; and that were we to wait until we had decidedly good news to report, we much fear that even the most patient of our readers would turn away exhausted. The month of February has arrived, which used formerly to be considered in this parish the second month of harvest, and in Hanover, Westmoreland, &c., more generally the third ; but now, it is a rare thing to hear of any estate having " gone about," and still more rare to learn that it is with any certainty either of continuing uninterrupt edly, or even making such a crop as shall leave anything to the proprietor. The exceptions to this rule are few, and cannot influence the general features. Next comes the ques tion—Why this backwardness in commencing crop ? We answer—From the unwillingness of the labourer to accept any terms but those of his own naming, and which are gene rally so unreasonable that it becomes a serious matter of consideration with the planter whether it would not be just as profitable to let the canes rot on the ground, or eat them down with the cattle! And here, again, the still unsettled rent question lends its aid in promoting discord ; and many who were even partially paying it beforehand, now refuse to do so during crop, or else demand to be paid such extra wages as would far more thau cover the amount of rent claimed. On a variety of estates, in one district, for instance, there was a general strike about a fortnight ago, because the masters would not accede to their proposals of being paid half a dollar each for a task, which one and all could accom plish easily between sunrise and 10 or 11 o'clock in the foie noon, thus enabling as many as chose, to make a dollar a day, by working only nine hours, independent of any other con sideration of "liquor," profits of provision-grounds, &c. &c. Wheth er th ese terms have been acceded to, we have not yet heard ; but in the meantime, of course, the canes are spoiling, as well as the prospects for next year materially suffering. Where the labourers are more left to themselves, however, and less misled by bad advice, they are receiving from a maccaroni to four bits for the same task, and perform ing it cheerfully ' - but these cases, as we before observed, are unfortunat e ly the exception as yet, and not the rule. Again, with respect to the crops themselves, there seems to be but one opinion, that in the aggregate, each parish will again fall off, if not a third, at least one-fourth, even of last year's miserable deficiency,—and this ari..sing wholly from the want of labour during the last year ; for in respect to " sea sons," it is universally admitted they have been admirable, and that to these may be attributed, through the blessing of Providence, the fact that our crops are even such as they are. LORD STANLEY'S BILL.—Mr. John Gibson, " registering barrister for the Crown," has been sent down on a " forlorn hope," from the Castle, to swamp the conservative franchise in the borough of Belfast. Whether the learned gentleman will " go the whole hog" for his employers remains to be seen ; but certain it is, that the anxiety of the government is great to procure those two seats. In appointing a Roman Catholic barrister to the county of Antrim, they supposed their object . would have been attained, and, arguing upon analogy, their expectations were justified ; b u t i n th e ir for mer nomination they reckoned without their host, for Mr. Baldwin proved to be a conscientio us j u d ge an d a hi g h-mind- . ed gentleman, discharging his functions according to law (of which he possesses a competent knowledge), and not, as a political partisan, to meet the views of a political party. Jus tice is all th e conservat i ves see k or ask. a'he very basis of Lord Stanley's bill rests upon this principle. It attempts to curtail no man's right—if he have a right—but is calculated to defeat fraudulent and fictitious claims, whenever set up ; and for this we are threatened with a rebellion, and an arma ment of 3,000,000 of teetotallers or ribandmen, or any other name under which, as insurgents, such a body choose to fight. —Dublin &ming Mail. ~....:
