1 4. Years past, of Importing from the Continent every
description of Article in the Fancy Line for the Wholesale

FRENCH CLOCKS, PORCELAIN ORNAMENTS,
ACCORDIONS, (of the most recent construction,) and a
variety of other FANCY ARTICLES, at such Retail Prices
that no other House in the Trade can compete with.
The advertiser takes this opportunity of observing, that his
establishment, although extensive, is conducted on a scale of
economy that enables him to undersell houses which, in
imitation of the gin palaces of London, expect to mislead the
public with dazzling and expensive fixtures, and thereby
obtain enormous profits.

obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety.
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 constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the
head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears,
deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin hones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful sufferings.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s.
9d. and l Is. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re-
medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, glees, strictures, semina-
weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum-
bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and
other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing
a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small
pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested
by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out •very parti-
cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole
mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex-
pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and
imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto-
nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer-
cury 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 cern
plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu-
dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and
indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only
occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail
on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but
weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of
imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver-
sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces-
sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of
the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and
speedy restorati n to sound and ♦igorous health.
PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for
the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms,
venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat,
diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and
alandnlar affections, local and general debility, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all
diseases arising from an impure state of the blood.

ACOMPLETE AND PRACTICAL SYSTEM OF

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"This system of Short-hand will be found one of the most
complete that has ever been issued from the press—indeed,
we may say the most complete. Utility and simplicity are
the main objects which the author has kept in view. A per-
fect mastery of the instructions which Mr. Foster has given,
will enable any one to take down verbatim, the words of the
most rapid speaker. Nor is this the only advantage which
will accrue from an acquaintance with this system, the faci-
lity with which the notes may be afterwards read is a consi-
deration of very great importance. The alphabetical cha-
racters have the recommendation of extreme simplicity.
The signs for combination of letters, and the arbitraries, or
marks for words, will be found highly conducive to expedi-
tion in writing. In this department the author has been
eminently successful. To Ladies or Gentlemen who may
wish to master the useful art of stenography, we can cordi-
ally recommend this work, by which a student of ordinary
ability, especially if a quick writer, maybe enabled in a very
short time to take down literal reports of sermons and speeches.
We may add, that the professional short-hand writer may
also derive much instruction from this compendium.—Liver-
pool Standard.
"'Phis is an exceedingly clever, instructive, and well writ-
ten production. Generally speaking, works on stenography
are not sufficiently entertaining and attractive to obtain nu-
merous readers; but we will do Mr. Foster the justice to say,
that he has thrown much that is highly-interesting in his
" plain instructions," and has very happily blended the enter-
taining with the useful. Our author's principal object ap-
pears to be to instruct the uninitiated; but we think his work
will prove valuable in many respects even to those whose
profession it is to practise the art. Of course his system must,
in a great measure, partake of those previously in existence,
but as regards the distinctness and decision of his vowel cha-
racters, it is superior to any we have seen. His examples
and illustrations are also exceedingly good, and the various
lessons are given with a plainness and perspicuity which
must greatly facilitate the learner's progress. In short, to
all who are anxious to obtain a speedy and accurate know-
ledge of the art of stenography, NV V earnestly recommend the
work."—Manchester Conner.

" We are of opinion that the last essay on stenography
must almost of necessity be the best, and that the person most
qualified to treat of it is a practical reporter. Mr. Foster's
enthusiastic admiration of the art, has, we think, led him a
little too far; but it by ❑o means detracts from the value of
information derived from his own personal observation and
experience as a reporter, which is now offered to the public
in a cheap and accessible form."—Liverpool Mercury.
" We can with confidence pronounce Mr. Foster's system
a good one. Constant practice is absolutely necessary for
any one who wishes to be a first-rate short-hand writer, either
on this or on any other system; but we believe that a
thoroughly practised writer of short-hand would find it easier
to follow a rapid speaker with this than with any other system.
It also possesses the very great advantage of being easily
readable whe❑ written."—Liverpool Times.

"From a hasty glance through the pages, we pronoune•it
excellent."—Lancashire Herald.

" Mr. Foster we know has had much practical experience
in the art, and it is practical experience alone that can
enable an individual to form a correct :udgment of any par-
ticular system. Mr. Foster has, it appears, tried three seve-
ral systems, and has fixed upon that which he deems the best.
On this he has made such improvements as, in the course
of his practice, seemed best calculated to secure facility.
With his judgment matured by constant consideration of
the subject, he tells us that the system which he has now
presented to the public possesses many advantages over
those most in use, with which he is acquainted.—Liverpool
Albion.

"We think its alphabetical characters are extremely sim-
ple, and that the signs for pluralities of letters, and the ar-
bitraries, which are more pecu harry the author's own improve-
ments, are highly conducive to expedition, without inducing
any corresponding difficulty in deciphering. While Mr. Fos-
ter's arbitraries and double and triple consonants are more
numerous than those of oilier systems that we havollet with.
they seem all well adapted for practice, and if so, they cannot
but he regarded as a material aid to the short-hand writer."
Liverpool Courier.
"Mr. Foster, in this little work, has given to the world the
result of his own practical experience as a short-hand writer.
In the two great requisites of short-hand writing—expedition
and an easy facility in deciphering the characters when writ-
ten—the present system is superior we conceive, to most of
tine popular works on the same subject. Persons wishing to
give the requisite application to the study of short-hand, will
find in Mr. Foster's manual everything they require. The
practicability of the system is best tested by Mr. Foster's re-
puktion as an accomplished stenographer.—Liver pool Chro-
icle.

It is our opinion that the reporter is a far more efficient

tutor in the af t of stenography than they who, however well
acquainted with it theoretically, have but little practice; be-
cause in the former case you are most likely to be presented
with a system perfected to the point of practical utility:while
in the latter it is ten to one but y.ou are taught a system which
is tound to fail upon trial, and which may require years of
alteration, amendment, nod practice to render it serviceable.
We mug admit that Mr. Foster's system appears to us a very
excellent one;_ that its capabiltes are equal to all demands
upon it is evident from his own practice; and that it is laid
down clearly and judiciously, will be apparent to any one
who peruses the book."—Liverpool Journal.
"The little knowledge we possess of this very useful art
enables ns to state that Mr. Foster's system appears to us a
very practical and easy one, and therefore a very good one.
The work is cheap and very intelligible, and we have no
hesitation in recommending it to those who are desirous of
becoming proficients in the art, and to all who desire to have
any knowledge of it."—Metropolitan Conservative Journal and
Church of England Gazette.

of the island of Dominica.

A WORD AND A lit.ow.—The Prince Metternich steamer
lately arrived from TrebizOnde at Constantinople. Two cases
of plague having declared themselves on board, strict orders
were given that the crew and passengers should undergo a
severe quarantine. Two Persians disregarded this order,
jumped overboard, and swam to shore. They were arrested,
and conducted before the Cadi. " Were you," raid that
officer, "passengers on board the Metternich steamer?"
" Yes." " Did von break the quarantine ?" " Yes." The
Cadi inside a sigh, and the two heads were rolling at his feet.
DEATH OF VICOVNT DEERHURST.—We regret to an-
nounce the demise of the above noble viscount, which took
place on Monday afternoon, at two o'clock, at his lordship's
seat Bourton House, near Morton-in-the Marsh, Gloucester-
shire. His lordship had been obliged to keep his bed-room
since Angust, when he caught cold in returning from one of
her Majesty's parties at Buckingham Palace. This brought
on a consumption, and after a lingering illness, throughout
which not the slightest hopes were given of his ultimate re-
covery, ha expires as above stated. The Earl of Coventry,
and several other members of the family, were present at his
lordship's dissolution besides the Viscountess Deerburst, who
is inconsolable at her bereavement. Her ladyship has been
unremitting in her attendance on her noble husband. His
lordship was the eldest son of the Earl of-Coventry by his
first wife, second daughter of the late Earl of Beauchamp,
and was born Oct. 25, 1808. His late lordshipamtried March
16, 1836, Miss Harriet Cnckerell, the only daughter of the
late Sir Charles Cockerell, Bait., 111. P., sister of the precept
