PROFESSOR SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species
and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the
disorders arising from improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. Gd. etch.

Warranted not to contain COPAIBA,V CUI3EBS, or any

,
deleterious ingredient.
... With each Box is given a 'Tease on Venereal
and syphilitic Diseases, with observatio n seminal weak-
ness &c. &c., containing hints worth kno ing.by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.

Dr..DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by
which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he
offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor-
ous health.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable-be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with
avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most
minute and intricate cases of the delicate c6mnlaint. for the
cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame
of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainly with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The
Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. 'bey
not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different functions of the borly expelling the grosser hu-
mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion
of discovery—they require no restraint of diet, loss of time,
or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without
the least exposure. to the patient. At any period when the
slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse
to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have been when visiting
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests,
by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person
going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such
that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.

Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight
in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE.
Letters (post-paid) enclosing a remittance, answered by
return, and Medicines punctually transmitted to any ad-
dress either by initial% or name.

No. 42, SEEL-TREET, LIVERPOOL.

DEPARTURE OF THE LIVERPOOL FOR
NEW YORK.

On Saturday, according to announcement, the steam-ship
Liverpool started on her first voyage across the Atlantic.
From the time of her arrival from her successful trial trip to
Dublin, the greatest curiosity was excited to view the splen-
did cabins, engines, &c. of this floating world of timber and
metal, and thousands visited her in steam-boats while she lay,
during the week, in the Sloyne, completing her equipments
and taking in goods, passengers, and a plentiful supply of
provisions, including live-stock and even growing vegetabtes.
The visitors were admitted by ticket, but they became, to-
wards the end of the week, so numerous that the workmen
on board were interrupted by their crowding the decks, and
it was found necessary reluctantly to hurry some of them from
the ship, and to refuse admission to many boat-loads of ladies
and gentlemen. Several handsome entertainments were
given on board, in the course of the week, by the Company,.
and by the commander, Captain Fayrer; and it is scarcely
necessary to add, that ail were highly gratified by the beauty
of the vessel and the hospitality with which they were re-
ceived.
The intended hour of departure was mid-day, but the quan-
tity of goods, luggage, and stores that came at "the eleventh
hone' was so great that about an hour's delay was occasioned.
The curiosity excited to witness her starting was greater than
that of any former occasion of the sailing of a ship from the
waters of the Mersey. The whole line of quays, from the
Queen's to the Clarence Docks, a distance of about two miles,
was filled up by a continuous crowd of human beings of all
classes, who, in their generally dark apparel, formed, as seen
from the river, a long black streak on the tops of the marine
walls that skirt the town. Many steam-boats on the rivers
were also crowded with parties anxious to obtain a nearer
view; and such was the hurrying down to the quays. from
every street, that the town was, for some time, in a complete
bustle. Yachts, boats, and other vessels were also moving
rapidly to and fro, and, the day being particularly fine and
sunny, the scene was highly animated and interesting.
The Liverpool, shortly before noon, steamed down from
the Sloyne, whe she had been anchored, to nearly opposite
Wallasey Pool, on the Cheshire shore, where she received,
from successive steam-boats, those of her passengers who had
not before gone on board, and a quantity of stores, spare
spars, provisions, &c. She was made fast to the Shamrock,
one of the City of Dublin Company's liver boats, and the tide
had began to ebb before in the-unavoidable hurry, all was in
readiness.
The letters sent out by her loaded a cart, and were con-
tained in immense canvas bags, some of them so heavy that
one man could with difficulty carry them. The packages of
newspapers and parcels were also numerous.
There were fifty-one passengers (exclusive of servants and
children) Amongst them were the following:—J. Van
Buren, Esq.. son of the Presidentof the United States; Rev.
F. Machin and family; Messrs. R. Junes W. Barber, jun.,
H. A. Vandainine, W. Day, Smith, and servant, J. Mur-
doch, W. J. Smith, and servant, Orford, Jennings, Isaac
Gage, Brown, H. Norris, W. Marie, Hoppe, John Henry,
Lamb, Williams, Richard Charles, Crowder, Atkinson, A.
H. Behan and family, Montgomery, Falguerittos, Dr. Mor-
rison, Mr and Mrs. Kerr, J. H. Davies, Mackintosh, Gor-
don, Thatcher, A. Lang, Riou, F. Homer, and Dawson.
The ship had on board about 150 tons of dry goods, for
which the sum of £5 5s per ton was paid, 469 tons of coal,
and 94 tons of Mr. Williams's turf stone, or compressed fuel.
Her consumption of coal is estimated at 26 cwt. for eveiv ten
miles ; and, calculating upon a fair average passage, she will
have a surplus of 147 tons of coal on reaching New York.
Precisely at one o'clock the Liverpool was put in motion,
her head being then to the south. She was steered round at
moderate speed, several vessels being in the way, all those
gentlemen who are not to proceed with her to America (in-
cluding Mr. Shaw) having just left her, with three times
three hearty cheers. From the crowded decks of the other
steamers near her, the same compliment was heartily paid,
and a gun was discharged at intervals front the Shamrock.
The crowd was dense on George's Pier, and the Prince's
Dock sea-wall held its thousands. The vessel being kept,
however, nearly in midchannel, the distance from her off the
spectators was too great to admit of a cheer, which, we doubt
not, would, under other circumstances, have been most
heartily given. Her speed, for some time, was not unusual,
as she did not, at first, gather way. She was gazed upon by
many thousands as she passed down the river, gradually in-
creasing in speed until her hull began to lessen to the eye.
One steamer, loaded with passengers, proceeded out with her,
or rather behind her, to the Lightship; another, equally
crowded, to the Rock Lighthouse.
About 161 minutes past one (the hour of starting) she
passed the Rock on her westward course. Her speed had
then, evidently, much increased, perhaps to about twelve
knots an hour; and, in a few moments more, just as the pas-
sengers in the steamer in which we had left her side landed
t the Egremont slip, she became lost to view behind the
nd-hills, not to be again seen by Liverpool eyes until her
urn from her transatlantic voyage. She is expected to'
•h New York about the sth of next month. She carries
„ her the best wishes of the town from which she derives
a town which owes its rise to sailing navigation,
rich increasing prosperity and wealth will, doubt-
from ocean navigation by steam.
• ' iverpool may be expected back from New York
end of November; and it is arranged that she shall
'ter second voyage to that city on the first of Janu-

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—A letter from Buenos
Ayres, of the 24th of July, three days later than the previous
arrival, states that the French blockade still continued, with-
out any probability of it being raised. The writer adds, "I
am confident that if a French minister was to come here, in
a spirit ofjgood will, the present dispute would be amicably
adjusted. You may obtain anything from these people by
kindness. Admiral Le Blanc, in his order of the day, threat-
ens them with the fate of Algiers. The French may bombard
and take the city, but they are too wise to think of attempt-
ing to colonise this country."
The Royal William steamer was spoken with on the 6th
October in long. 55, lat. 42; sailed from Liverpool on the
20th September—out 16 days.
The next packet expected from New York is the George
Washington, of the 7th ult.

PROFITS OF THE GREAT WESTERN.

(From the New York Daily Express.)
As it is now well settled that steam navigation over the
ocean is practicable, we take it for granted, that, as soon as it
is demonstrated to be profitable, our enterprising country-
men will set about the business with all speed. " Fulton,"
a writer in the National Gazette, has made a calculation of
the profits of the trips of the Great Western. In the list of
the crew, given from recollection, he says, there may be an
error; but, if so, rather exceeding than falling short of the
real number. From the 25th of June to the 25th September,
a period of ninety-two days, the Great Western made four
trips across the Atlantic—one of twelve and a half, one of
fifteen, one of thirteen and a half, and one of eighteen days,
in all fifty-nine days at sea
" Cost of the Great Western, including hull, spars, tackling
sails, machinery, cabin, furniture, &c., £55,000, or
276,750 00 dollars.
Estimate of expenses for ninety-two days.

FuLTON.

THE "GREAT WESTERN" STEAM-SHIP.

The Great Western steam-ship arrived at Bristol on Wed-
nesday morning last, after an unprecedentedly rapid voyage
of twelre days and nine hours. In a letter, dated Bristol,
October 17, her gallant and able commander says, " I have
the pleasure to communicate to you, that the Great Western
left New York on the 4th inst., at four o'clock [p. rod. and
arrived here this day, at half-past eight o'clock" [a. m.1—
After giving some extracts from the log, which will be found
below, Capt. Hosken adds, "Going out, the Great "Western
met with a very severe gale of wind. If some of her coals
had not turned out bad, she would haVe been home one day
sooner."

The Great Western steamer arrived nearly 12 hours earlier
than was expected, even by the most sanguine parties who
were interested in her arrival, and the average speed attained
has been very considerably greater than on either of the pre.
vious voyages. During the latter part of the voyage, the
weather has been remarkably tempestuous; but it has been
battled with in a manner hardly possible by any other vessel
than the Great Western. She has brought over 126 cabin
passengers, and it would be no common task to mention
one-tenth portion of the expressions of satisfaction which all
the passengers express, both with regard to the delightful
accommodations of the ship, and the pleasing manners and
extraordinary attainments of Capt. Hosken, both as regards
his extensive and perfect knowledge of steam navigation,
and also his truly seaman-like acquirements. Amongst the
passengers are W. H. F. Cavendish, aid-de-camp to Lord
Durham; and Judge Robinson, chief justice of Upper Ca-
nada, and lady and five children.
The following extract from the log of the Great Western
will show the extraordinary speed which, under the able
superintendence of her talented and seaman-like commander,
the Great Western has averaged on this her fourth voyage
from New York :
