TURER, respectfully informs his Friends and e Public that
he has REMOVED from No. 69, tom extensive Pre-

ARRIVAL OF NEW FRENCH LONG AND SQUARE

SHAWLS,
FROM THE EXPOSITION, AT PARIS,
At the EMPORIUM, 56, (late 78,) BOLD-STREET.
PRING LE, LAWSON, and KEMP respectfully announce
the return of one of the Partners from France, where
he has been engaged, for the last month, in selecting various
descriptions of SHAWLS for their Establishments, in Li-
verpool, Manchester, anti Glasgow; and, the Goods having
now come to hand, they have much pleasure in submitting
them for inspection. Ladies may not be abiare of the pecu-
liar advantages the Buyer were favoured' ih, from the cir-
cumstance of the Grand Exposition b lit g open, in Paris,
during the time.

This Exposition occurs once in five years, and includes,
not only Shawls, but every description of article manufac-
tured in France, which has been invented or improved upon
during the preceding five years, and, as it is liberally fostered
and patronised by the Government and Court, extraordinary
exertions are made for pre-eminence in each department,
and the successful competitors are not only rewarded by
medals of gold, silver, and bronze, but, from the merits of
each being more fully brought before the public, reap more
substantial encouragement in the encrease of sale of their
various productions. It was particularly noticed, that in no
department had there been greater invention or originality
displayed than in the Shawl department, and the extent of
the purchases of the richest Long Shawls by the Royal
Family was truly astonishing : the Shawl more especially
liked by the Queen, and since called the " Queen's Shawl,"
excited universal admiration.

P., L., and K. have been successful in purchasing Dupli-
cates of the finest Shawls in the Exposition, including the
Queen's Shawl," and many others equally rich in design :
such Shawls are rarely seen, and from their beauty, com-
mand immediate sale.

P., L., and K. will feel happy to show them to their
Friends and the Public, either as curiosities or for purchase.
The choice is magnificent, consisting of novelties from £2
to £3O.

MONS. LE DRAY, SURGEON-DENTIST, from the
Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London.
SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY Eg.IqOVED.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPP lED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR C SPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENS
And filling Decayed Teeth with M. al Marmoratum.
MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surge -Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and nhabitants 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
he 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 DRAY 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 _ 20 0 0

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
trom Nine till Two.

AURORA BoßEAms.—On Tuesday night, this phenome-
non, which of late years has been of such frequent occurrence
in this kingdom, was remarkably apparent at Ripon. Though
unattended with those rapid coruscations which are generally
observed in its appearance, its change from one position to
another in the heavens, took place with considerable, though
almost imperceptible, rapidity. Sometimes a thick concen-
tration of the luminous rays presented a vast stream of blood
colored light, awfully magnificent and pointed towards the
Zenith. This however, continuing to vary, soon dispersed,
and the usual bright shooting rays were presented, emerging
in a parallel direction from the northern horison. The inter-
esting appearance was most observeable about 9 o'clock, af-
ter which it gradually disappeared. The approaches of the
Aurora Borealis from the northern parts of the globe (to
which it was formerly almost exclusively confined,) so far into
the temperate zone, unquestionably betoken some very ma-
terial change in our climate and atmosphere,—keerls

A BIT FROM BALTIMORE.

Good morning, Mr. B-; how do you do, sir?
I am "right smart," I thank you, sir; how is your health?
It is very gocd, sir; how is Mrs. B.?
She is "rights-mart," I thank you, excepting a slight cold,
which she took yesterday in the country. But I hope she
will soon "get shet" of that.
Ah, you were in the country yesterday? It was a bad day
for riding in the country.
Yes, I know it rained "right smart" all day, and we were
thoroughly drenched.
But how did you find the travelling?
Oh, the roads are "right smart," and but for the rain we
should have had a beautiful time.
Do you get any news in the country?
Nothing of importance, sir, only they say the prospect is
" right smart" for a good business the coining season.
I am glad to hear of that, for if the country prospers, the
city will, of course, prosper.
Oh, yes, I have no doubt but we shall have a "right smart"
business season this year. If the farmers have good crops,
they will buy goods "right smart" when they come in the
city.
Mr. 8., you said you were in the country yesterday; how
far did you go?
Oh, I went " right smart" of a piece out, and though, as
I said, the roads were " right smart," yet TIVICE'T I came
near being overturned.
Good morning, Mr. B.
Good morning, sir, I hope you will get along " aiaaT
"iIIiART" in business to-day.

Vortrp,

GOD'S MESSENGERS.

God's steps are on the mighty Deep,
His voice is in the storm ;
His glance doth burn along the sky,
And clouds conceal His form.

He guides the dark wing of the Plague,
On its dread viewless way,
And sends forth o'er the desert-sands,
The fierce Simoom to slay.

The Earthquake, and the torrent red
Of the Volcano's fire,
Bear to the homes of guilty men
The message of his ire.

But God hath Ministers of Good,
The beautiful—the strong;
For He delights to bless, and sends,
Of gifts, a countless throng.

The roaming winds His servants are.
Sounding o'er earth and sea,
With voices deep that evermore
Keep holy jubilee.

And soft refreshing Rains of spring,
That fall like Mercy's tears,
Ate gilded with her Bow, while Earth
A face of gladness wears.

God's love is whispered in the Breeze,
His smile is on the flowers,
And birds unconscious chant His praise,
Within their sunny bowers.

THE BLIND GIRL'S LAMENT.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1839-04-05

SIMPSON AND ANOTHER V.' WHARTON.

The plaintiffs are plasterers in this town, and the action
was brought to recover £3O, for plastering two houses of the
defendant's, at Kirkdale. The plaintiffs had contracted with
the defendant to plaster three houses, for one of which they
received the amount of their claim ; but for the others the
defendant refused payment, considering the work inefficiently
done. The contract stated that the plaintiffs were to receive
£45 when the houses were completed to the satisfaction of
the defendant, and like another house mentioned. The de-
fendant's witnesses proved that there was neither mortar,
hair, nor lime used in the plaster, and that the defendant had
been put to more expense, in re-plastering the houses, than
if the plaintiffs' work had not been done at all.
Verdict for defendant.
Several other unimportant cases occupied the Court until
five o'clock, when his Lordship rose.

THE CORPORATION SCHOOLS.

The report of the education committee on the memorial
of the operatives was read. _

The committee reported that, in regard to the first obser-
vation in the memorial, that the memorialists were anxious
on the subject of the education of their children, such feeling
was highly creditable.
The memorial stated that, three years ago, the memorial-
ists were compelled to withdraw their children, in conse-
quence of the new system. The committee were obliged to
report their belief that this could not be true as regarded the
greater portion of the memorialists, as the whole of the chil-
dren in the schools at that period did not equal the number
of the memorialists, and the reverend chairman made a state-
ment that time was only wanting to make large additions to
the number of signatures : therefore a large portion of the
memorialists never had any children at the schools.
The committee believed that the assertion that a large por-
tion of their children found refuge at the New Church of
England Schools, which were now filled to excess, was rashly
and inconsiderately made.
The remaining part of the memorial, relative to the exclu-
sion of the Bible, was contradicted in the report. The com-
mittee were of opinion that the memorial did not call for the
consideration of the Council.
Mr. BLAcKstni-N, seconded by Mr. LASSELL, moved the
confirmation of the report.

Mr. C. LAWRENCE regretted that, as the schools were
supported by the funds of the population at large, something
could not be done that would be satisfactory. It was a very
proper objection to the old corporation schools that they were
of an exclusive nature. These schools were also, from the
peculiar system on which they were conducted, exclusive, and
the respectable gentlemen who managed them ought to have
seen that they had fallen into the same error.
Mr. ISAAC HOLMES said, why could they not give up the
present schools to the Papists, and build two new ones for the
Protestants ?

After a very lengthy and animated discussion, in which Mr.
Earle, Mr. Sands, Mr. Currie, Mr. Blackburn, Mr. G. H.
Lawrence, Mr. Rathbone, and the Mayor, took part, the re-
port was confirmed. The crowded state our columns com-
pels us, reluctantly, to omit the observations of the preceding
speakers.

also in London, being supplied by the Manchester firm with
goods. It was proposed that W. Howarth should put into
the London concern £5,000, and receive interest from the
firm ; and that Duncan, to whom there was then owing £496
by the Manchester firm, for his ' salary as their traveller,
should be considered as placing this sum (or £500) in the
in the London concern, and be allowed interest for that
amount. The London partnership was to be one of three
years, and William Howarth was to receive two-thirds of
the profits, and Duncan the other third. It appeared, how-
ever, that neither the £5,000 nor the £496 was ever raised
or put into the business. At the close of 1836 the Manches-
ter firm became embarrassed, and in the spring of 1837,
some arrangement were made with their creditors ; a number
of meetings of the creditors were held ; and it was found
that no less than £16,000 worth of goods .had been supplied
by the Manchester firm to the London one. It was deter-
mined that the London firm should be dissolved ; that Dun-
can should take the stock in trade and debts due to the firm.
and should pay the debts owing by that firm (the amount
owing to the Manchester firm not being included.) In order
to ascertain what Duncan would have to receive and pay,
two arbitrators, Mr. Cooper and Mr. Anderson, were ap-
pointed, and they went at great length through the books of
the concern ; and in May, 1837, they decided that the balance
to be paid by Duncan, on his taking the London concern,
would be £9,250. Duncan found security for this amount,
and gave two promissory notes, which were paid by him. The
arbitrators did not take into account, in their examination
into the liabilities and assets of the London concern, the
£496 owing by the Manchester concern to Duncan. The
Manchester firm was unable to recover, and a fiat of bank-
ruptcy was issued about the close of 1836. In the begin-
ning of 1838, the assignees, claimed from Duncan a sum of

DOCK COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of the Dock Committee were read. It
was stated that the committee had resolved not to proceed
any further with the new Dock Bill this parliament. The
solicitor to the docks had been directed to oppose the bill for
rating the docks.
Several letters and memorials were read.
WATCH-RATE.

The Town-clerk said the next business was to levy a watch
rate. The average watch rate in the borough during the last
seven years was £8527 12s. ld. The return of rateable
property for Liverpool was £895,368, which would give the
average amount above by a rate of 2d. 2-7ths in the pound.
The rateable property in Kirkdale was £11,889, which at 2d.
2-7ths, gave £ll3 4s. 7d. The property in Everton
£57,417, gave £489 13s. Bd. ; Toxteth-park £90,206, gave
£859 2s. Id. ; West Derby £42,062, gave £4OO lls. 10d.
This, the Town-clerk said, left £10,507 to be paid out of the
borough fund.
Mr. THORRNHILL, seconded by Mr. Jordan, moved that
a rate of 2d. 2-7ths be levied. Carried.

The Council adjourned at twenty minutes past three o'clock.

MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY EVENING.

According to custom, several of our leading turf gentlemen
have been absent since Friday, participating in the opening
of the season at Newmarket. The Riddlesworth and Oat-
lands have been moderately speculated upon. Lord Jersey's
horse lost ground rapidly, and last night the field was backed
against him at evens. A very strong "tip" was evidently in
town in favour of Mr. Thornhill's Maria colt. At Newmar-
ket, we are told, both parties are equally sanguine. A va-
riety of reports have been circulated during the day as to
the actual winner. The offers of the morning were to lay
even My Lord had won, and that he won also this day. Par-
ties were desirous of taking 7 to 1 on his Sultan colt, for the
Derby. Both last night and to day there has been a clear
disposition to nibble on Montreal, Cammellino, and Hamlet.
We observed 100 to 3 offered in one lot against each, or 100
to 4 against any one of them. Nothing, however, will be done
until " the doings at Newmarket are publicly known."
Flambeau was backed yesterday at 12 to 1 ; and offers this
evening made to lay 200 to 6 against Bloomsbury, or take 5.
The result of the Riddleswoith of yesterday being just
made known, we may add that offers were instantly made to
take 60 to 10 on Lord Jersey's horse for the Derby ; 50 to 10
offered. The Maria colt being beat by two lengths in the
Riddlesworth, and then defeating the Duke of Cleveland's
Kremlin, (so strongly fancied and supported lately,) speaks
much for Lord Jersey's hOrse, it being pretty well known
that Mr. Thornhill's influential party thought they could de-
feat the crack. The Dey of Algiers would be backed at 100
to 6, or Montreal at 200 to 6.

BURGLARY AT ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE.

William Brett, 20, was charged with having, on the night
of the 29th January, feloniously and burglariously broken
into the dwelling-house of Samuel Lowe, Holtingshawe, in
the township of Ashton-under-Lyne, and stolen therein,
£3 2s. Od. in money, one silver snuff box, one brooch, one
shawl, one handkerchief, and one hat, the property of the
said Samuel Lowe. He also stood further charged, with having
broken into the same house, with intent there and then to
steal.

Mr. Hatton conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Murphy
the prisoner's defence.
Jane Lowe, wife of the prosecutor. On the night of 29th
January shut the house up. The prisoner was an apprentice
to her husband. I left my clothes box safe in my bed-room.
Also a purse, with money in it, in my pocket under my pillow.
In the morning I found the doors open, and the box on the
sofa below, and some of the things were gone. I found the
pocket also below stairs, and the purse in it ; but the money
was gone. Witnesss here enumerated the property taken
from the box, including the money, a silver snuff-box, a
brooch, a shawl, &c. Some keys were also missing out of my
pocket.
Cross-examined by Mr. Multpx Y.-I do not know that my
husband ever went by the name of Walker. His mother's
name was Walker. There were some persons in the house
that night ; but they did not play cards. As to the prisoner's
honesty—he was not very honest.
A constable apprehended the prisoner on the Sth February,
and found upon him a snuff-box, a brooch, a box, and a pawn
ticket. I said to him, you have all that was missed' when
they were robbed before, excepting the money. He said the
money was gone. I said it could not be. He asked me how
much it was. He said there was £3 125., neither more nor
less.

Cross-examined.—There were some persons in company
with him when 1 took him. Some of them said, he'd better
tell him who were the persons who were with him, and it
would go better with him. He said he did not know their
names. He added that two of them had a pistol, and one a
dagger. When he spoke of the X 3 12s.' I don't think any
of the persons round had said that he had better tell who was
with him.

Mrs. Lowe was recalled, and identified the articles taken
from the prisoner.
Mr. Lowe called.—l promised that if the prisoner's father
would pay me £5, I would cancel his indenture, and would
not proceed against him for the robbery.
The prisoner's examination before the magistrates was here
read, and amounted to an acknowledgment that he was the
perpetrator of the robbery.
The COURT proceeded to pass sentence, stating that the
prisoner had been concerned in .a contemplated robbery of
the same party, in conjunction with other parties armed with
deadly weapons. The sentence of the court therefore was,
that he should be transported for 15 years.

4‘ ril H E MOTTO ON THE SAND,"

STONEHOUSE, Author of " Hope shilj' whisper happy
days," &c. The Music by HENRY ALDRIDGE.
Published by. C. H. THOMPSON, 191, London-road.

The success of this ballad has been quite equal to any of
the author's compositions. The press have been unanimous
-in its praise. The Publisher begs to draw attention to the
following notices amongst others that have appeared.
" A new ballad has just made its appearance, entitled
" The Motto on the Sand," which we fully expect, from
the talent displayed in both words and music, will become a
lasting favourite with the public. The words are very grace-
ful. The composer has caught the spirit of the poetry, and
wedded it to extremely pretty music. We can confidently
recommend this ballad."—LTyrnrooL CHRONICLE.
" This is a tasteful composition."—CHESTEß GAZETTE.
" It fares all the excellences of Mr Aldridge's style."—
CHESTER CHRONICLE.

" This new ballad we admire very much ; it is suitable to
any singer and any voice. The words are by Mr. James
Stonehouse, the author of many well-received compositions.
The music, by Mr. Aldridge, displays taste and a fine ear,
as well as most excellent fancy. It is altogether a very pretty
ballad, and will enrich any portfoIio."—LIVERPOOL ALBION,
