"Quis Seperabit."
LIVERPOOL AND NEW YORK STEAM-PACKET

COMPANY.
Capital £20(),000, in 10,000. Shares of £2O. each.
THE object of this Company is to establish a Steam com-
munication between the Ports of Liverpool and New York.
Its projectors hate long entertained the must sanguine opi-
nions as to the success likely to attend suctr'an enterm ize, when
liberally backed by politic patninage;; and, this, the present
prospectus, it is confidently hoped, will lie the means of induc-
mg, for it is a truism, that without its fostering aid all such as-
sociations
must signally fail in the attainment of their object.
Twenty years ago the.idea was derided of successfully effect-
ing an intercourse by Steam between this country and Ireland.
Nevertheless, we are now in a position of exposing the fallacy
.of so contracted a view, as science, aided by wealth, perse-
verauce, and enterprise have prevailed, and the existing esta-
blishments are in the most prosperous condition.
The assertion, then, may fairly be hazarded, that Steam Na-
vigation, in the really effiCient form it has assumed in the pre-
sent day, is capable in an eminent degree of developing the •
vast resources of those fertile, densely populated, and commer-
cially important districts of North America, (to which the oper-
ations of this Company will, be directed,) by affordin_ g that
superior facility of intercourse between them and Great Britain,
for which Steam in other parts of the world has become so justly
celebrated, and which, alike to the Merchant and the Emigrant,
must he a matter of the most paramount interest;
The projectors ate justifiable in stating, (inasmuch as it is
the expressed opinion of scientific and experienced men.) that,
with suitably constructed and powerful vessels, the run too to
New York may, in ordinary weather, be accomplished in•about
Sixteen days. So quick a run by other means, it is believed,
would be without a parallel.
An ample supply of Fuel may he always calculated upon, as
the great improvement lately introduced in the engineer and
boilerdepartment (the invention of the scientific Mr. Hall) has
caused a most extraordinary decrease in the consumption of that
very important article.
In order to disseminate as widely as possible the advantages
likely to accrue from such an association as this, well, respect-
ably, and spiritedly conducted,—a prominent feature in its for-
mation has been, that of dividing the shares into the moderate
amount of Twenty Pounds each ; thus, not precluding the
tradesman or small capitalist from investing in an establishment
which cannot. but augment the commercial importance of this
enterprising community.
The Company will be considered as constituted, as soon as
bona fide applications to the extent of 5000 shares shall have
been made.

Five Shillings per Share will be required upon enrollment;
and, in one week after Directors have been chosen, it will be
necessary for Proprietors to pay £2 per Share iu,to the Albion
Bank, to the credit of the Company. The remainder of the
calls to he made as the direction may deem expedient, in sums
not exceeding £2 per Share, and at periods of not less than six
weeks between each call.

The management of the Company shall be intrusted to Six
Directors, to be chosen by the Proprietors. Three of the Di-
Mors to retire annually, but to be eligible for re-election.
The holding of Fifty Shares to constitute the eligibility of a
Director, and Auditors shall nut be deemed competent to act a's
Directors.

The usual means to secure Proprietors by the restriction of
liability will be adopted.

, . . . . .
A Provisional Committee will be formed immediately, to
whom all applications -for Shares must be addressed, ewe of
Mr. JOHN CHEYNE, Solicitor, Canning Buildings; South John
Street.

TO PREVENT ALL MISTAKES.
TOTIN C. WOOLFIELD begs leave to state that heand his
Ibrother Thomas commenced their Bazaar at the corner of
Postoffice-place. in 1827; in 1822 they Dissolved Partnership,
.and, in the articles of Dissolution, J. O. Wogreed not to carry
on business in Liverpool whilst his brother continued to-do so.
The Gentleman who is the present proprietor of the Bazaar
opposite, previously to purchasing that valuable and extensive
Establishment, was informed, by its former Proprietor, of John
C. Won'field's intention of again setting up in Liverpool, and
that be was at liberty to attempt to estal)lish himself ; that at-
tempt, J. C. W. is happy to say, be has converted into a reality,
hut he trusts the public will not consider him premature su
forming an Establishment here, when they ore informed that
he has waited Nine Years for the privilege, nit of respect to the
conditions of the articles of dissolution, as well as the respect he
had towards his brother, Thomas Woolfield, who, being the
Proprietor of the Premises occupied as the Bazaar, could not
Act "so contrary to his principles of right towards his successor,"
and most especially so towards himself, as to have any interest
in the new concern established at •

its main e'xceltence consists in the LENGTH OF TIME during
which it retains its life and pungency AFTER !r- as POURED OUT,
and not (as many erroneously suppose) so2fte force With which
it expels the cork. This latter is rath the characteristic of
the commonest Sods Water, for the obvious reason that the air
is disengaged. whereas, by the peculiar principle of SCHWEPPE'S
process, the Carbonic Acid does not escape with the cork, but,
being thoroughly amalgamated with the water, remains as a
valuable medicinal feature in their manufacture. The same
observations will apply to their iii;rated Lemonade, Potass and
Magnesia Waters. _

Pray observe the RED LABEL, over the Cork, representing
their Signature, as many of the other makers impose upon Ih
public by filling " Schueppe's Bottles" with their own spurious

the public in an unpacked state, having led to tunnel-ruts com-

investigation it has been found that in every case of complaint
there has been IMPOSITION PRACTISED. To guard against
recurrences of these, PURCHASERS are requested to as'lz for

prepared with the greatest possible care, upon well tested prin-

HOUSE OF LORDS.;-11uNDAY

NEG R 0 APPRENTICESHIP.
~. Loft' DENMAN, in presenting a petition from a place in
Corn Wall for the abolition of the apprenticesiiip system in the
colonies, denied altogether the right of the legislature to give
up to
_the planters the labour of the negroes fur any number of
yea rs.
Lord AS INGER was surprised to hear his noble and learned
friend say something which amounted to an avowal that he con-
sidered an act of parliameut to be illegal, and that if it were
produced in the court in wi,ieh he presided, he would not act
upon it.
Lord DENMAN did cut deny the legality of any contract be-
tween the planters and the government, but he did totally deny
the power of parliament to make any contract by which the la-
bour of the negroes could be for six years appropriated to the
planters or their mortgagees.
The Duke of WELLINGTON contended that there was a com-
pact between the imperial legislature and the planters. The
negroes were to be freed on the twofold condition that the coun-
try should give £20,000,000 as compensation to the planters,
and that, moreover,. the negroes should give six years' labour in
the character of apprentices.
The Marquis of CLA NRICA riE insisted that it was utterly in-'
consistent with the spirit of English law to make slavery in any
form, part and parcel of that law.
Lord DENMAN, in explanation, said that he feared, from all
that he had lately read, that it was in contemplation to continue
slavery beyond the Ist of August, 1&10.
