THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the s6cial habits of
the present day, and more particularly in thOse of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. H ee the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portio fan enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of h i rrtual invalids. Their
i
minds anxious, unsteady, or slung' , and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM
will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect labia dorsalis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses,
irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency. barrenness. &c. But
the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACL3I ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these

this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-

acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of Owners of Land and
Warehouses, and others opposed to the Plan of the
Dock Trustees for Building Warehouses on the Dock Quays,
at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool, 13th Feb. 1840,
JOHN NIONTGOMERY, Esq. in the Chair,
It was moved by WILLIAM EARLE, Esq. secoaded by
JOHN DRINXWATER, Esq. and ..-'
se
Resolved unanimously,—That this meeting viess-svfivitli great
regret the recent decision of the Town Counoirsanctioning
the proceeding, by the Dock Committee, in,the present session
of parliament, with the bill empowering ithenisslves to erect
and manage warehouses on the doek quays—a decision con-
trary, in the opinion of the meeting, to justice and sound po-
licy, and the evidence on which it purports to be founded, and
tending ruinously to depress the value of private property in
the town, in which some millions of money have been invested
by purchasers and mortgagees, on the security of the existing
laws. That the measure is called for by no neccssityer desire
on the part of the public, there being already a great super-
abundance of warehouse room, and is opposed to the expressed
opinion of most of the commercial associations. That it was
not included in the recommendations of a body of nearly 300
merchants lately united for the purpose of enquiring into the
best mode of managing the docks and facilitating business ;
has been expressly petitioned against by 6000 inhabitants of
the port ; and in the opinion of this meeting, approves itself
in no single feature to the impartial inquirer Into facts. That
it has been persevered in, and, for the present, been carried in
furtherance of the views of a few individuals only, against the
wishes of the community at large, and also against the reso-
lution (not twelve months ago) of the Town Council itself,
' founded upon the disapproval of its own Finance Committee,
after a laborious investigation, and without any circumstance
having occurred in the interim to account for so strange a va-
cillation of purpose on the part of that bcdy.
Moved by W. P. Busitris-, Esq. seconded by JOHN
FLETCHER, Esq. and
Resolved unanimously—That the Land and Warehouse
Owners of Liverpool, arc as anxious for, and as much in-
terested in the improvement of the port as the most
vehement advocates of this measure profess to be, and admit
as freely tile evil of delay in the loading and discharge of
ships, and the necessity of some effectual remedy, but they
maintain that this remedy will not be found in the erection
of warehouses, and is at all events attainable with infinitely
less expense and no injustice, by other means, upon the ne-
cessity and propriety of which the whole commercial com-
munity are agreed, that is to say, by the construction of
transit sheds, and the adoption of various improvements
lately recommended by the body of merchants already -alluded
to, and by the said Finance Committee, in their report to the
Town Council.

Moved by JOHN CROSTHWAITE, Esq., seconded by
THOMAS MURRAY, Esq., and
Resolved unanimously—That even admitting for the sake
of argument, (though denying the fact of,) the expediency
of dock warehouses, the proposal that they shall be erected
and managed by the Dock Trustees, is a monstrous in-
justice, altogether unprecedented in this country, as it would
enable that body, building at the public expense upon land
costing them nothing, and therefore requiring no return in
the form of rent, and without personal responsibility, or any
other stimulus to gond• management, to compete with, or
rather ruinously to depreciate the property of persons who
have bought land from these same Dock Trustees (the Cor-
poration) at very high prices, and under express restrictions
to build warehouses only thereon, and with various en-
couragements to landowners generally so to build, held out
by the Corporation, amounting to n moral pledge that that
body would never themselves become warehouse holders;
and because, also, the establishment of such a monopoly as
this, is opposed to every sound principle of policy ; and must,
for obvious reasons, encumber and harass, rather than relieve
the shipowner and merchant, and necessarily increase the
present very high dock rates, by the enormous expense of the
project.
.Moved by JAMES BRANCKER, Esq., seconded by WIL-
LIAM Mclven, Esq., and
Resolved unanimously—That the very essence and vital
principle of the London Dock Warehouse system, with whiCh
(as an argument for the present scheme) that of Liverpool is
often disadvantageously compared, consist in the fact that
the London Docks and Warehouses are private, not public
property, purchased and erected by the Owners with their
own money, and managed, therefore, at their own risk, and
in daily competition with powerful and vigilant rivals ; and
so far are the Land and Warehouse Owners of Liverpool
from being adverse to the introduction of this system, that
they court such fair competition of interests, and would ne-
ver have opposed the construction of Dock Warehouses here,
if it were part of the plan that they should be erected and
managed, as in London, by individuals or companies, to whom
the Dock Trustees should sell the land for that purpose, at
its full and fair value, and at properly extended periods, as
an adequate demand arose, in the same manner as the exist-
ing warehouse property of the town has been purchased and
built, and they anticipate with confidence the affirmation by
Parliament of this plain and undeniable principle of common
justice.
Moved by JOHN SHAW LEIGH Esq., seconded by J. A.
JEE, Esq..
Resolved unanimously—That for these and many other
reasons not compressible into the form of resolutions, the
committee are hereby authorized to take the most effective
measures for'opposing the bill in both Houses of Parliament,
and that for this purpose the residue uncollected of the rate
of three per cent. on the annual value of the warehouse pro-
perty of the town, agreed to be raised at the last general
meeting, to be forthwith collected by the Treasurer, with the
assistance of the Committee.
Resolved also—That a Petition, embodying the substance
of these resolutions, be forthwith presented to both Houses
of Parliament, odd that these Resolutions be published at
the discretion oflhe Committee.
JOHN MONTGOMERY, Chairman.

THE STOCKPORT VIADTICT.—This wonderful undertaking
of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company;jia
this borough, is proceeding sufficiently fast to realise the 9:er.
fection of it within the term of the contract, notwithstanding
the difficulties which have twice attended the prop.esi of the
river arch. All the arches, except one, on the Lancashire
side are turned, so that 10 of the 63 feet arches may-be said
to be almost completed ; whilst the stone piers for two others,
on the Cheshire side, are ready to receive the superstructure,
and the brickwork for the two small arches at the extremity
of the viaduct, like those at the Lancashire end, is rapidly
proceeding to a termination. Twelve of the twenty-six'
arches may therefore be said to be pretty well out of the
hands of the workmen, and another eix months will see the
perfection of one of the most gigantic productions of art of-a
similar character in the kingdom.—Stockport ildrertiser. •
