DEAFNESS.

N/! RS. GARDNER, AURIST, from London, Edinburgh,
and Dublin, bas the honour of announcing her return
to Liverpool on her Sixth Annual Visit, and may be con-
sultd on all DISEASES of the EAR, at No. 5, GREAT
GEORGE-STREET, until the 23d of May.
The success which has attended her peculiar method of
treating the various species of Deafness having been demon-
strated in several thousand cases during the last twelve years,
in most of the principal cities in the United Kingdom, and
on the Continent ; and its innocence and efficacy having ob-
tained her both the confidence of the Public and the patron-
age of the Faculty, any further comment on her part is un-
necessary. She feels it, however, her duty to impress on the
minds of the afflicted the danger of tampering with so deli-
cate an organ as the Ear ; and as scarcely any two cases re-
attire the same mode of treatment, it is obvious that any
patient, and also tne cause irourwilialee ot&-urstaie ...ap..of-
ginated,) may do more harm than good, and frequently con-
vert the most simple affection to an inveterate and incurable
malady, such as total Deafness, Palsy of the Auditory Nerve,
destruction of the Tympanum or Drum, Inflammation of the
Brain, and even Madness or Insanity.
N.B.—The late Dr. Gardner's Treatise on the Anatomy,
Physiology, and Diseases of the Ear, may be obtained at her
residence as above.

In ail cases a candid and impartial opinion may be relied
on, and in those decidedly beyond the reach of art, no fee is
expected if consulted personally.
Consultations from the country, post-paid, and including
a fee, punctually attended to.
Advice gratis to the Poor every Morning from Eight till
Ten.

• Moms. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respec_
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SZEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat or pressure ; it is placed, into the cavity in
ea almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and, curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress` of deesy,,and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only convents a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth andPums, there
-are none more destructive in their effects, or nithe generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well kivei that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause th any other. It
elects individuals of all ages and of all co *tutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mona. La DART and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.

DISASTROUS VOYAGE OF THE ROBERT ISAACS
FROM LIVERPOOL FOR NEW YORK.

i.ILICTRAOT Or A esTraß WRITTEN BY A PASSENGER.)
e ship Robert Isaacs, of Savannah, sailed from Liverpool
for New York on the 21st January. The weather continued
tine and the wind fair until the Ist February, which com-
menced with a severe gale from S.S.W., and a heavy sea,
which caused the vessel to labour much, and ship a great
deal of water. From the Ist to the 6th of February we sus-
tained almost daily losses in sails and rigging, but on the
latter day, at two p.m., being then under close-reefed fore
main-topsail only, the ship was suddenly struck by a squall
exceeding in violence what had ever been experienced by the
oldest seaman on board. In an instant our fore, main,. and
mizen topmasts, with all their rigging and sails attached,_
were earned away, the mainmast rendered useless, and the
foremast greatly damaged. The main rigging was mostly
carried away, and the fore and mizen rigging greatly injured
by the falling of the spars. The lower yards in falling struck
two of our boats, and rendered them unfit for repair. Jib-
boom and bowsprit were injured.
The sea at the time rose prodigiously, and the heavy roll-
ing of the ship rendered it impossible for a long time to clear
away the broken spars and sails.
A jury fore-topmast was rigged in a few days, and we en-
deavoured to proceed on oar voyage, being then in long. 36,
but during the succeeding three weeks we had little else than
a continuation of gales of wind, which carried away almost
All our sails, and the heavy labouring of the ship caused
great apprehension of her foundering. On the 4th of March
the rudder-head and bolts broke away, after every attempt
to strengthen it by hawsers and chains ; it was finally carried
away on the 6th by a tremendous sea, which at the same
ti.me broke open the rudder case, and the water rushing in
when the ship rolled, it was the opinion of all on board that
but little chance of our escape remained.
As a last resource, it was determined to lighten the ship
by throwing a part of the cargo overboard, but little could
be effacted at this time, owing to the waves frequently break-
tag over the ship.
On the 10th of March, the weather having moderated, we
recommenced discharging the ship, and continued doing so
until the 2.3 d instant,' when about half or two-thirds of the
goods had been thrown overboard. From the 4th to the
10th March, the vessel drifted entirely at the mercy of the
winds, all attempts at replacing the rudder having proved
ineffectual. On the latter date, however, a hawser with a
number of drags attached having been got overboard, it was
found in some degree to place the ship under control, and all
hope of being able to proceed to the westward having been
long abandoned, it was determined to endeavour to reach
Tay-al. Having missed that island, owing to the temporary
rudder haling been driven out of its place, we finally reached
Angra Bay (Terceira) on the 30th ult.
Most of the passengers on board this ship were saved from
the Lockwoods, pff Liverpool, during the hurricane in
