WARDLE'S ESSENCE OF ANCHON lES.

XTHILST science is making its rapid strides in the various
improvements that daily present themselves before the
public eye, the health, palate, and feelings of the epicurean,
valetudinarian, or the delicate invalid, appear by the many to
have been overlooked, such however, is not the case with the
whole, as this elegant and powerfully concentrated essence
(the result of years' unwearied exertion) will clearly
/demon-
strate. As a Fish Sauce, it is superior to an 'ancient or
modern, and the proprietor challenges all an very compe-
tition ; for the immediate production of San iches it stands
unequalled, and Anchovy Paste, which ers themselves
admit will not keep, is, by it entirely perseded. It is
strongly and confidently recommended to Merchants, Cap-
tains, and others going abroad, not being acted upon or in
any way injured by time or climate.
Prepared only by H. WARDLE, 18, Hanover-street, Liver-
pool, and sold at the Apothecaries' Hall ; and also by Wood-
ville, Fisher, Swift, (late Beatson,) Bold-street ; Sudlow,

DR. W. EVANS' AMERICAN HERB PILLS.
HE very rapid sale of this invaluable Medicine, since
its recent introduction here, more than realises the most
sanguine anticipations of its Proprietor. No better proof of
the great virtues of the American Herb Pills could be given,
than this ready appreciation on the part of the afflicted.—
Never since Medicine became a science was there a happier
discovery than that of the composition of this invaluable
Remedy.
DR. W. EVANS having proved, by the m t thoroughly
extended individual and collective experienc that these Pills
are firmly based on the immutable laws ature, deems it
an imperative duty to bring them before e Public.
The great principles on which this Medicine is established,
are to supersede the indiscriminate use of the Lancet, and of
those violent and dangerous minerals which have caused such
great mortality, and to prevent the frequent recourse to the
many deleterious purgatives compounded and put forth by
ignorant pretenders.
THE AMERICAN HERB PILLS, having stood the test of
the most thoroughly extended experience, are confidently re-
commended as decidedly superior to any combination of
Medicine ever offered to the Public.
These Pills are a mild Aperient, perfectly safe, certain, and
pleasant in their operation, and being wholly composed of
HERBS that harmonise admirably with the human constitu-
tion, they are perfectly salutary under any circumstances.
In all cases in which functional derangements of the Liver,
the Stomach and Bowels are involved, and also in all Impu-
rities of the Blood, this Medicine possesses curative powers
of surpassing efficacy ; Costiveness, Dyspepsia and Bilious
Complaints, so frequently aggravated by other Medicines,
are easily cured by a judicious administration of this. A
proper perseverance in the use of these invaluable Pills will
effectually relieve the distressed victims of Gout and Rheu-
matism, break up the tendency to a recurrence of the malady
and establish the health of the patient. These Pills are also
highly efficacious in all cases of Lowness of Spirits, Nervous
Irritability and Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency,
Heartburn, General Debility, Hysteria, Head-ache, Asthma,
and Spasmodic Affections.
One of the most dangerous epochs to Females is at the
change of life ; they then require a remedy that will invigo-
rate and equalise the circulation, so that they may withstand
the shock. That Medicine is Dr. Evans' American Herb
Pills. Those who have the care and education of Females
should never be without them. The HERBS of which they
are composed exert a specific action upon the Heart and
arterial system, quickening and equalising the circulation
through all the vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated
internally, or the extremities : and as the secretions of the
body are drawn from the blood, there is a consequent in-
crease of every secretion and a quickened action of the ab-
sorbent and exhalent or discharging vessels. Any morbid
action that may have taken place is corrected, and all obstruc-
tions removed, the blood is purified, and the body resumes a
healthful state. Perseverance in the use of these Pills will
undoubtedly effect a cure in all cases that have been found
discouragingly obstinate.
The great number of persons afflicted with Dyspepsia,
Liver or Bilious Complaints, are to be found among care-
worn speculators, stock-brokers, and ardent students ; or
among those whose nervous system has, by injudicious edu-
cation, been too greatly developed and rendered morbidly
excitable. There can be no doubt.that sedentary habits con-
cur with mental excitement in producing these complaints.
Lowness of spirits is a certain state of mind, accompanied
by indigestion, wherein the greatest evils are apprehended
upon the slightest grounds, and the worst consequences
imagined. Ancient medical writers supposed this disease to
be confined to those particular regions of the abdomen, tech-
nically called hypochondria, which are situated on the right
or left side of that cavity, whence comes the name hypochon-
driasis.

The common corporeal symptoms are, flatulency:in the
stomach or bowels, acrid eructations, costiveness, spasmodic
pains, giddiness, dimness of sight, palpitations, ,and often
an utter inability of fixing the attention upon any subject of
importance, or engaging in any thing that demands vigour
or courage. Also languidness—the mind becames irritable,
thoughtful, desponding, melancholy, and dejected, accom-
panied with a total derangement of the nervous system. The
mental feelings and peculiar train of ideas that haunt the
imagination and overwhelm the judgment, exhibit an infinite
diversity. The wisest and best of men are as open to this
affliction as the weakest.
An habitual moderate use of the American Herb Pills, in
conjunction with moderate exercise and relaxation, will ef-
fectually accomplish a cure. The virtues of these Pills are
peculiarly such that they may be taken without occasioning
sickness, nausea, or any of those disagreeable sensations at-
tending the operation of other medicines.

SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFIFICIAL TEETIA SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.

MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect•
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-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
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts 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 and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAT and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth
A. complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.

THE GRAVE.—Oh, the grave ! the grave ! It buries
every terror, covers every defect ; extinguishes every resent-
ment. From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets
and tender recollections. Who can look down. upon the
grave even of an enemy, and not feel a compunctious throb
that ever he should have warred with thei poor handful of
earth that lies mouldering before him ? But the grave of
those we loved—what a place for meditation ! Then it is we
call up in long review' the whole history of virtue and gen-
tleness, and the thousand endearments lavished upon us
almost unheeded in the daily course of intimacy ; then it is
we dwell upon the tenderness, the solemn and awful tender-
ness of the parting scene, the bed of death, with ell its stifled
grief, its noiseless attendance, its mute, watchful assiduities ;
the last testimonies of expiring love ; the feeble, fluttering,
thrilling : Oh! how thrilling is the pressure of the hand ;
the last fond look of the glazing eye, turning upon us even
from the threshold of existence ; the faint, faltering accents
struggling in death to give one more assurance of affection.
Aye, go to the grave of buried love and meditate ! There
settle the account with thy conscience, of every past endear-
ment, unregarded of that departed being who never, never
can return to be soothed by contrition ! If thou art a child,
and hast ever added a sorrow to the soul, or a furrow to the
silvered brow of an affectionate parent ; if thou art a hus-
band, and hast ever caused the fond bosom that ventured its
whole happiness in thy arms to doubt one moment of thy
kindness or thy truth ; if thou art a friend, and hast wronged
by thought, or word, or deed, the spirit that generously con-
fided in thee; if thou art a lover, and hast ever given one
unmerited pang to the true heart that now lies cold and still
beneath thy feet, then be sure that every unkind look, every
ungracious word, every ungentle action will come thronging
back upon thy memory, and knocking dolefully at thy soul ;
then be sure that thou wilt lie down sorrowing and repentant
on the grave, and utter the unheard groan, and pour the un-
availing tear, better because unheard and unavailing.

STATISTICS OF CRIME IN THE METROPOLIS.—In 1831,
when the population of the metropolis was a million and a
half, the total number of persons taken into custody was
72,824 ; the number committed for trial, 2955 ; and the num-
ber convicted, 1932 ; while in 1838, when the population
must have been above 1,700,000, the numbers respectively
were, 63,936, 3295, and 2546. Thus, taking only the com-
mitments and convictions, in the former year, 1023, nearly
one-third, were acquitted by juries ; and in the latter, only
749, or little more than one-fifth. Convictions for offences
which were formerly capital, such as horse-stealing, forgery,
&c., as compared with the acquittals, have increased enor-
mously. Of 58 persons accused of breaking into a dwelling-
house and stealing, 47 were convicted •, of 11, accused of
horse-stealing, eight were convicted ; and of 16, indicted for
forgery, 12 were convicted. Only three out of such a vast
population, which, excluding the city of London, carnet
amount to less than a million and a half, were indicted for
murder, and not one convicted, the juries returning verdicts
of manslaughter. In the course of last year there has not
been one execution in London, and for the whole of England
and Wales the number has been below that of any previous
period on record ; only eight persons were executed, all of
whom were convicted of murder of an atrocious character.
In the year 1827, seventeen persons were executed in London
alone, more than twice the number for the whole of England
and Wales in 1838. In 1821, the number of executions for
this part of the kingdom was 143, of which 29 took place in
London. Since 1827, the executions in London have de-
creased in the following proportions :—For the three years
ending 1829, 63 ; three years ending 1832, 16 ; and three
years ending 1835, 2. In 1834, the number of persons tried
in England and Wales for forgery had increased a little; the
number in 1831 being 50, and in 1834, 56. The trials for
sheep-stealing had also increased, and those for horse-steal-
ing had fallen from 229 in 1827, to 170 in 1834. According
to official statements, made up to the end of 1837, there has
been a considerable increase in sheep-stealing and in forgery ;
and offences against the currency, an increase of 27 per cent.;
but in many others a great proportional decrease, and parti-
cularly in violent offences against the person and against
property. A vast proportion of the accused can neither read
nor write ; no fewer than 26,636 out of 63,936, and of the
total number, only 6130—one in ten, can read and write well.
VARIETY AND EXTENT OF VEGETABLE LIFE.—If we
review every region of the globe, from the scorching sands of
the equator to the icy realms of the poles, or from the lofty
mountain summits to the dark abysses of the deep ;, if we
penetrate into the shades of the forest, or into the caverns
and secret recesses of the earth ; nay, if we take up the mi-
nutest portion of stagnant water, we still meet with life in
some new and unexpected form, yet ever adapted to the cir-
cumstances of its situation. The vegetable world is no less
prolific in wonders than the animal. Here, also, we are lost
in admiration at the never-ending variety of forms suc-
cessively displayed to view in the innumerable species which
compose this kingdom of nature, and at the energy of that
vegetative power which, amidst such great differences of
situation, sustains the modified life of each individual plant,
and which continues its species in endless perpetuity. It is
well known that, in all places where vegetation has been es-
tablished, the germs are so intermingled with the soil, that
whenever the earth is turned up, even from considerable
depths, and exposed to the air, plants are soon observed to
spring, as if they had been recently sown, in consequence of
the germination of seeds which had remained latent and in-
active during the lapse of perhaps =any c-nturies. Islands
formed by coral reefs, which have risen a:Jove the level of the
sea, become, in a short time, covered with verdure. From
the materials of the most steril rock, and front the yet recent
cinders and lava of the volcano, nature prepares the way for
vegetable existence. The slightest crevice or inequality is
sufficient to arrest the invisible germs that are always float-
ing in the air, and affords the means of sustenance to dimi-
nutive races of lichens and mosses. These soon overspread
the surface, and are followed, in the course of a few years, by
successive tribes of plants of gradually increasing size and
strength ; till at length the island, or other favoured spot, is
converted into a natural and luxuriant garden, of which the
productions, rising from grasses to shrubs and trees, present
all the varieties of the fertile meadow, the tangled thicket,
and the widely spreading forest. Even in the desert plains
of the torrid zone, the eye of the traveller is often refreshed
by the appearance of a few hardy plants, which find sufficient
materials for their growth in these arid regions ; And in the
realms of perpetual snow which surrbtind the poleg; the
navigator is occasionally startled at the prospect of fields of
a scarlet hue, the result of a wide expanse Of mio;oscopia
