IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.

. _
It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined
chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these
objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica-
cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the
public.—Sold in boxes at ls. 6d. each.
FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. _

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
Sold in bottles, at 4s. 6d., 7s. 6d., 10s., 155., and 21s. The
larger sized bottles are the cheapest.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the scurf, nourishes
the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beautiful
natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar softness of
texture, and luxuriaut appearance.—Sold in bottles at ls. 3d.
and 3s. each.
CHEMICAL MARKING INK.

For Writing on Lineu with a Common Pen.
This is very superior to the generality of what are called
Permanent Inks. It gives a most brilliant black, which cannot
be removed by acids or any other causes, without at the same
time destroying the linen. Families may be accommodated
with the improved Permanent Ink and Preparation separately
if required.—Sold in Cases, Is 6d, and 3s.
VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.

tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and b - its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,

little of this Oil, and with a soft piece of Flannel apply it all
over ; and for the first time let it remain on twelve hours.

rubbing it till a beautiful polish is produced. A little used
twice a week is sufficient to ensure the brightness and durab-
ility of the Furniture.—Half-pint Bottles is, pints is 9d,

_
SCOURING DROPS.
The purpose of this useful article is for taking Grease Spots
out of Silks, Stuffs, fine Woollen Cloths, &c., without in-
juring the finest fabric or most delicate colour. The best
method of using the Scouring Drops is, to spread the Silk,
&c., on a table, with a clean napkin under it, and put a few
drops on a bit of new or very clean Flannel, and rub the spot
until it disappears; then with a clean napkin rub it till quite
dry. It leaves no more stain than a drop of water, which
hanging a few hours in the air, or a few days' wear, will take
away.—Price ls.

BANKRUPTCY FIATS.—A. return of the number of fiats in
bankruptcy, issued from the 11th January, 1838, to the 11th
of January, 1839, has just been made ; by which it appears
that during that period there were London fiats, 306, and
country fiats, 781, making a total of 1087 for the year. Of
the country fiats we find the following number attached to
neighbouring places :—Manchester 82, Liverpool 44, Ches-
ter 2, Birmingham 54, Carnarvon 7, Holywell 1, Maccles-
field 5, Nantwich 1, Wrexham 1, Shrewsbury 5, Welshpool 4.
The assizes at Huntingdon were maiden—not a single cause
or prisoner to try, Justice Vaughan, in briefly charging the
grand jury, congratulated them on the peaceable and honest
state of things existing around them ; which he trusted would
be as permanent as it was satisfactory. If he lived another
month, he said, he should have travelled as a Judge thirteen
years, and had attended more than a hundred commissions
of assize, but had never before met with so novel a case as to
have neither prisoner nor cause for trial.

We learn from a correspondent in Sutherland, that the
Moors were never in finer condition for the sportsman than
they are at present. The birds are fully stronger than they
were at the end of August last year, and coveys of eight or
ten are very common. In some parts of the country, the
dryness of the season led to more extensive heath-burning
than usual, and this may have decreased the number of grouse
in certain localities ; but on the whole, there will be excellent
sport, and game of first-rate quality.—lnverness Courier.
SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE.—The attention of the "cake-
eating" portion of the population of Warrington has, within
the last two months, been solicited to a very smartly fitted-up
shop, opened in a very public part of this town, in the bread,
biscuit, confectionary, tea, coffee, and snuff line. To all
appearance the stock was extensive, and no difficulties were
thrown in the proprietor's way in getting whatever credit he
chose in Warrington, and also in the neighbouring towns of
Liverpool and Manchester. His trade being somewhat con-
siderable, a considerable " indebtedness" as Brother Jona-
than would say, was incurred, and one Manchester traveller
was so anxious for the settlement of his small account—some
£4O, that he waited the proprietor's return from Manchester
by the last train on Saturday night. They met at the station,
and the traveller was quite rejoiced to hear that his debtor,
like a good honest tradesman, had made a journey on pur-
pose to Manchester with the money, which he had paid to
some little, short, oldish gentleman at the traveller's place
of business. It is said that the traveller " cracked:" an odd
bottle over the success of his expedition to Warrington, and
remained in the town over Sunday. On going back to Man-
chester, he was rather surprised to find that his " client"
had made a mistake, as his " little, short, oldish" gentleman
at home had neither set eyes on him nor the cash. He again
journeyed to Warrington, and then—the truth must be told
—his customer was ascertained to have left the town with
his family, in a car, at six o'clock on Sunday morning. The
gas was burning both in the shop and parlour, and had set
tire to the paper hangings. For the safety of the house and
neighbourhood, a forcible entrance into the premises was
effected. The trespassers immediately proceeded to take
stock, of which the following are a few items :—Six large
loaves of sugar, made of Northwich salt, thirteen large
packages of tea, and some " finest Jamaica coffee," so many
packages of sawdust, neatly tied up in brown paper, 601bs of
crackers, and sundry other dozens of biscuits, all sawdust
with the exception of one biscuit to each parcel; sundry
butchers' bills, and a few stale cakes. The household goods
consisted of a table, two chairs, a bedstead upon three legs,
a flock bed, fender and tea kettle. The police are in search
of the cake man, and no doubt he will before long be called
upon to give his account of the affair.—Manchester Courier.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE.-,A. French architect in London,
writing to his friend at Paris, gives an account *of this con-
cern, which would be sufficiently ludicrous if it were not, un-
fortunately, much too true. The letter opens as follows :
" My dear sair,—l shall now give you an account of de
Royal Palace, called here de Buck-and-ham Palace, which is
building for de English King in de Jean Bull plum-pudding
and roast-beef taste, for which de English are so famous. It
is great curiosity. In de first place, de pillars of de palace
are made to represent English vegitable, as de sparrow-
grass, de leek, and de onion; den de entablatures or freizes
are vary mosh enriched with leg of mutton and de pork, with
vat dey call de garnish, all vary beautiful carved ; den, on de
impediment of de front, stand colossal figure of man-cook,
with de large English toasting-fork in his hand, ready to put
into de pot a vary large plum-pudding behind him, which is
vary fine plum-pudding, not de colour of black Christmas
pudding, because de architect say it would not look veil in
summair time—it is vary plain pudding. Then de small
windows of de kitchen on each side of de impediment at top
story of de palace, have before them trophy of de kitchen,
such as pot and de pan, and othare tings, which look well at
de distance, only de poker and de tong are too big. On de
wing of de palace, called the gizzard wing (de othare wing
was cut off), stand the domestique servant, in neat dress,
holding in de trays biscuit and tart, and othare ting. De
name of de architect is Mistaire Hash, de King's architect,
.who, I was informod, was roasted vary much. De English
people seem vary much to like dis palace for de King, and
do laugh vary much. Dere is to he in de front of de palace
vary large kitchen range, made of white marble, vich, I was
told, would contain von hundred of goose at von time. Dc
palace, yen complete, will be called after von famous English
dish, de Toad in de Hole !"—Blackwood's Magazine.
THE BOLTON CHARTISTS.—Meetings have been held dur-
ing the week, almost nightly, on some spare ground near the
bedquilt shop of Jacob Lomax, Little Bolton, which that
gentleman has been..pleased to honour them with, although
he has no right to it. Some very violent and inflammatory
speeches have, we understand, been made, and at the meeting
on Thursday night, it was resolved to commence the holiday
on Monday, (yesterday) which they term the sacred tmonth ;
but which would be more properly designated as the diabolical
month, as it can mean nothing but murder and robbery.
These kind of proceedings have at length alarmed the mayor
and borough justices, for on yesterday we perceived a placard
posted and signed by nearly the whole bench, announcing
that any breach of the peace, or neglect of work would be
promptly attended to and the parties punished ; and that if any
intimidation were used it would also meet with its deserts.
Shortly after the walls had been covered with this Mr. Cullen,
one of the borough magistrates, and Mr. Simpton, the super-
intendent together with P. C. Polht, proceeded to the smithy
of Daniel Cowle, in Great Moor-street,—the great pike man-
ufactory—and seized upon two pikes being all they could find
in the place. One of them was in a finished state, being
neatly:polished, and had an axe at the bottom with a worm to
screw into a staff; the other was in an unfinished state. Mr.
Cowle happened to be conveniently absent, or he would have
shared the fate of his pikes, and been taken to the police
office. There is scarcely a doubt but an attempt will be made
to get up a holiday which can only end in a breach of the
peace. The inhabitants therefore cannot be too vigorous in
their exertions to suppress by every means the diabolical
purposes of the chartist leaders.—Bolton Chronicle.

(From the Preston Chronicle.)
It being, as we stated last week, pretty generally under-
stood that the chartists of this town intended to visit the
Parish Church, on Sunday morning last, agreat concourse of
persons assembled, about ten o'clock, near the sacred edifice,
to witness the proceedings. The chartists did not, however,
as had been anticipated,, march in procession, but came
straggling in small bodies, without any apparent pro-ar-
rangement, or organization. Most of them were in their
working apparel, and on entering the church, they took pos-
session, in the first instance, of the pews in the middle aisle.
The churchwardens and other gentlemen were indefatigable
in their endeavours to afford accommodation to the im-
mense numbers who thronged the church ; and by the time
for the commencement of Divine service, the large edifice
was crowded to excess in every part. There could be no less
than two thousand persons present, about one-fourth cf
whom, perhaps, were char tists. Some, however, are of opi-
nion, that the number of persons actually belonging to the
chartist ranks in Preston, does not exceed 300, and that the
crowds generally attendant on their proceedings are indivi-
duals merely drawn together by curiosity. Very few ladies
made their appearance at the church, and of those who did
attend, all, with about half-a-dozen exceptions, took their
seats in the gallery. We need scarcely state' that the con-
gregation presented a most curious appearance. While
there was an admixture of something irresistibly ludi-
crous, it was impossible to look on without being deeply
and somewhat painfully affected by the spectacle. Of
the ragged, the shoeless, and the unclean,—of the weak,
the wicked, and ignorant,—of the good, the reputable,
and the virtuous,—all were alike immortal, and all were
assembled in the immediate presence of the great judge,
whose office it will one day be to award the destinies
of the immortal existence. How solemnly and how awfully
then did the question force itself upon the reflecting mind,—
how many of these immortals have come to the house of God,
to worship, to honour, and to glorify Him,—and how many ,
alas! how many have come with the design of desecrating the
temple, persecuting the disciples, outraging the ordinances,
and insulting the very presence of their Maker. We cannot
answer the question. The searcher of all hearts can, and the
recording angel has already taken fearful account in the book
of judgment. We dare not presume to decide that even one
name has been written down for evil, but we dare scarcely
venture to hope that the record is not taken as against many.
The finger of omnisrienee is responsible for the. evidence; and
there can, therefore, be no error.....'he Revererni-th5'51.4....,
preached on the occasion, from the 84th chapter of Job, 29th
verse—" When ,he giveth quietness, who then can make trou- • ' •
ble ? and when he hideth hissface, who then can behdld ?
whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only."
From these words the reverend gentleman deduced an appro-
priate and most eloquent discourse. He alluded to the un-
usual character of his congregation, and could not believe
that the Almighty would view with approbation the conduct
of those " who had scared away the regular worshippers of •
the tabernacle." " There were unhappily to be found those,
who neither fearing God nor regarding man, were willing to
persecute the friends of religion ; their efforts were, however,
vain, for when HE giveth peace who then can make trouble."
The preacher went on to show that it was religion alone that,
could satisfy those who were dissatisfied. Peace of conscience,
and peace in outward circumstances, were alone the portion
of those whose delight was in the ways of holiness, and nei-
ther one nor the other could be enjoyed by the worldly minded,
the wicked, and the seekers of mischief. He then proceeded
to state that it was the duty of ail to obey the laws of the na-
tion, and to practise all the social virtues, as being strict reli-
gious duties. Interspersing his discourse with several beau-
tiful and appropriate passages of scripture, he descanted
upon the rewards in store for the righteous, and the punish-
ment due to the wicked, in the eternal world. Most earnestly
and eloquently did he press the solemn question,—" who .
shall behold Him," a question the deep and personal import
of which appeared to produce a marked impression on the
congregation. The rev. gentleman concluded a powerful and
deeply impressive discourse by directing the attention of his
hearers to the words of the twenty-first Psalm, besrimirig at
the Bth verse, which had been read in the course of the
morning service, and on again reading which he closed his
sermon. The conduct and deportment of the congregation
were in every respect unexceptionable,—in fact, we never
witnessed a more decorous and becoming hearing in any
congregation. It was an occasion which, to our humble
comprehension, seemed emphatically calling for 'a special
interposition of Divine influence, and really if there be any
meaning or truth in appearances, it is the fact that the all-
wise master of congregations suited his spiritualising power
to the occasion, and so effectually evidenced his presence in
the midst of the people, and that to bless them, that many
" who went to scoff remained to pray." We were exceed-
ingly edified at seeing numbers of the congregation, especially
lads, join in the responses and the singing, with all apparent
sincerity, modesty, end devotedness. We can only say, that
if we are to regard last Sunday as a specimen of the worship
of the working classes, may we frequently have them for
fellow worshippers, and may the holy unction of peace and
good-will, and the spirit of harmony and brotherly kind-
ness, descend from above, as a rich shower of hallowipg
dew.—An immense crowd assembled to witness the depar-
ture of the congregation, and everythinr, passed off:Wit,b.
perfect quietness and order.—We learned yesterday, that
the Parish Church is again to be visited by the chartists,
to-morrow, and that they have submitted a text to the vicar,
respectfully requesting him to adopt it as the theme of his
discourse. We believe it is the 2nd chapter of James,
verses 15 and 16.

DEATH OF THE FATHER OF THE ARMY.—We regret to
announce the decease of General Sir James Stewart, Bart.,
G.C.H„ which took place on Monday last, at his residence
in this town.' Sir James was the oldest officer in the array,
having entered it as a cornet on the 17th March, 1761 : he
was promoted to a captaincy on the 7th July, 1766, and
eventually attained a colonelcy in the 2d Dragoon Guards; on
the 12th of January, 1815. He was a brave and distinguished
officer, and will lie widely lamented in the profession.-7
Cheltenham Examiner.
The twelve jurors, by whom the fate of Bolani was de
tided, are chiefly farmers, brought from various parts of the
county of Northumberland, and are understood to be very
respectable and very intelligent persons. During their retire-
ment from the court to consider their verdict, which occupied
about three hours, considerable diversity of opinion pre-
vailed amongst them, four being for an acquittal, one for
wilful murder, and seven for manslaughter. • Eventually
they all concurred in a verdict of manslaughter, to which
course they were certainly directed by the judge, and it may
be added, against the feeling and opinion not only of the
law-men, but of the public at large.—Netreactle Jonrnal.
STRIKING A BARGAIN.—III several parts of England,
when two persons are. driving a bargain, one holds out his
right hand, and says," Strike me," and if the other strikes,
th bargain holds ; wence the striking a bargain.—Aubers't,
in the Camden Society's fifth publication ; to which the
erudite editor, Mr. Thomas, adds, " A custom somewhat.
analogous is said to exist in Westminster School, at the pre-
sent day, when two boys, who agree to fight, go through the
form which they call chopping hands • and it is said that this
form.of accepting a challenge is looked upon as so irrevoca-
ble, that there has scarcely ever occurred an instance of the
combat so resolved upon not taking place."
EXTRAORDINARY WHEAT.—A gardener, of Boston, has
now in cultivation a most extraordinary species of wheat,
such as is not to be found in any other part of the country.
Tile cars average about nine or ten inches in length, and the
straw about an inch and quarter in circumference. One
peck of seed is amply sufficient for an acre, the yield from
which is truly astonishing. Notwithstanding the high winds
and heavy rains which have prevailed, this surprising when
has not sustained the least injury. The whole of the pre-
sent crop is the produce of a single grain which was sown
three years ago.—Boston Herald.
CITY OF PERTH REPRESENTATION.--TO the utter aston-
ishment of all except the few who have been in possession of
the secret for some days, the inhabitants were made aware,
only yesterday, (Tuesday) that anotner election for a Inern-
ber of Parliament is immediately to ensue. And if anything
could exceed this surprise, it was the published announdemcnt
of Mr. Oliphant of Condie, the former representativd, that
he again aspired to the honor of that preferment. Wd-are'so
imperfectly acquainted with the arcana of this triatectivie
that we can in the meantime say little on the subject; ofThiit
the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird has been badgered by the cliq6e.
and very likely baited by the bandogs of the government; for
endangering their stability by his vote on the education
question, as well as for giving them the slip on several'in'e-
vious occasions, is generally blieved to have led to his resig-
nation. How Mr. Oliphant has submitted to become'the
tool of the party, is not such easy matter of conjecture.
has however, thrown himself into the hands of a factiou echo
grievously maltreated him before, who have treated Mr Iciti-
naird no better, and who will again play the same ganio.With
their new choice, the first moment they have an end to,'S*Ke
by doing so. At all events, if he has unwittingly beeomiilielr
rn dupe, he must have consented to be their impleent"o efibbt
some ulterior purpose—neither of which is it verX,4ll4g#le
positio'n.-;-Perth Constitutione,
