-Irietors. NATH. SIMPSON, Secretary. The Gentleman to whom the potatoes were consigned
declined to pay these persons, on the ground that, as
the potatoes were not sold in the market, they were
not subject to the charge of the superintendence.—
Each party insisting, the sale was given up ; and the
consequence was an immediate rise in the market, of
from 2d. to 3d. a weight. Yesterday, as we have
been given to understand, his Worship relaxed, and
the sales recommenced, which, in the course of the
day, amounted to 758 weights. This day, however,
while the market priceof the article is 10 d. a weight,
the weighers have been re-instated ; and though the
sales have been continued, as the bulk was once
broken, the price has been advanced to 10d. and the
Captains of the vessels declare they will not again
return to this port, in consequence,of the delays and
.obstructions they have received. We understand the
Harbour Commissioners, who have an undisputed
right to a tonnage due on potatoes, are to meet to-
morrow, for the purpose of issuing an order for, its
suspension for the present.

HENRY'S CALCINED MAGNESIA continues
to be prepared with the most scrupulous care and atten-
tion, by Messrs. THOMAS and WILLIAM licawr, Manufacturing
Chemists, Manchester. It is sold in bottles, price 2s. 9d. or
with glass stoppers at 4s. 6d. &tamp Included, with full directions
for its use, by their various Agents in the Metropolis, and
throughout the United Kingdom; but it cannot be genuine, un-
less their names are engraved on the Government Stamp, which
is fixed over the cork or stopper of each bottle. Of most of the
venders of the Magnesia may be had, authenticated by a similar
Stamp, HINATIS Asoxavic SPIRIT of VISEGAIP, the invention of
Mr. Henry, and the only genuine preparation of that article.

OIL JAMES'S POWDER, AND ANALEPTIC PILLS.
friHE Public are respectfully reminded that the
1 Sale of the above Medicines, invented by my grandfather,
Dr. James, is removed from the late Mr. Newbery 's, to the house
of Messrs. Butlers, where they can alone be had genuine. It
becomes the more necessary to recall this to the minds of the
Public, as the 31mt of nay kte Agent are now vending compositions
oftheir own manufacture, as Dr. James's Jfedicines ; and from the
length of time Mr. Newbery was supplied with the Genuine
Medicines by my family, purchasers may be led erroneously to
suppose, that that supply is still continued. To guard against
the ill effects of bpurious Medicines, purchasers are requested to
observe carefully, that every Bus: of Pills and every Bottle and
Packet of Powder, now bears a Red Government Stamp and a
label signed with any name. It. G. G. JAMES.
