E. & T. TAYLOR'S
CONCENTRATED MEAT LOZENGES.
TO MERCHANTS, CAPTAINS, TRADERS, TRA-
VELLERS, and EMIGRANTS.—After the most
practical results, E. & T. TAYLOR, of 17, HOLBORN, (Lon-
don,) have succeeded in concentrating the Finest Meats into
the form of Lozenges, which, from their portability and nu-
tritious qualities, are of the last importance on board of
VESSELS destined for long voyages, as at any time, from
dearth of provisions or boisterous weather, when cooking
cannot be performed, they may be had recourse to, affording
all the nourishment of a substantial meal : and to the SET-
TLER in his new location they will prove of incalculable ad-
vantage, as one or two now and then dissolved in the mouth
will afford support for hours, whilst the cost, from their low
price, entails but a trifling expense ; in fact it is downright
economy to possess them, they having superseded every other
invention. The MULTUM IN PARVO or CONCENTRATED
MEAT LOZENGES will keep for any length of time and in
any climate, if preserved free from damp. None are genuine
but those bearing the signature of E. & T. TAYLOR on the
label. A liberal allowance made to Merchants, Captains,
and Shippers. Sold in every principal town in the kingdom.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MARCII 2.

The number of Beasts at market to-day has been very small
compared with last week ; high prices were demanded, and a con-
siderable advance took place for all descriptions. Prime quality
was scarce, and realized fully 7.:1 per lb. Second quality 7cl; in-
ferior 6d to did : at the close of the day the Beasts were well sold
up. Prime Wether Sheep were in demand at an advance, say ';.W
to Bd ; second quality 7id, inferior 7d ; at the close of the day a tew
lots of inferior Steep were unsold.

The Mariner's Church

Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its
means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution
with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for
want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs
of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is
still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped
that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased
subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of
usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and
flatmen.

The Naval and Military Bible Society,
and Prayer Book and Homily Society,
Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit
the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that
purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ;
and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society,
it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam-
boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip-
tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of
the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust
that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re-
sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the
seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out
this desirable object without involving the parent society in a
considerable loss,

Trinitarian Bible Society.
The peculiar object of the. Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes
of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by
weekly or monthly subscriptions.

EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL DAY AND NIGHT

EXHIBITION.
GRAND MODEL of the BATTLE of N ‘ TERLOO, ,
and the CATOPTRIC LIGHT, being hundred times
more powerful than the common Gas, is ' W EXHIBIT-
ING, at the LYCEUM LECTUIt Rooms old-street, Liver-
pool. The above Exhibition has been sited by upwards of
70,000 persons during the last twelve•,..nths of its exhibition
in London.
The author of this splendid Mo. el, which far surpasses
anything of the kind ever produced in this country, has suc-
ceeded in producing tipon the mind of the spectator an almost
perfect illusion. Every undulation of the ground, every
Nouse, field, road, and tree, is faithfully represented, as is,
also every regiment, iu its exact position as at the time of the '
battle. so that it is difficult for the spectators to divest them-
selves of the idea that they are beholding a reality instead of
a work of art.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE OF ARTS,

GRAND NIGUT!
riIHIS EVENING, (Tuesday,) will be represented, for the
second time in Liverpool, and repeated during the week,
with new Scenery, Dresses, and all the acquirements, as pro-
duced by Mr. Ducrow, at the Royal Amphitheatre, London,
the Historical Esuestrian Spectacle of
•C•HA SRI
ORi THE BATTLE OF OTTERBOURNE.
The Spectacle will be followed by DUCROW'S Classic
Scenes of the Circle and Extraordinary Feats ; to give pomp
and additional effect to which, and in compliance with the
demands at the Box-office, Madame DUCROW, with the
Male and Female Equestrians, will appear in the pageant of
Pomp and beauty called CATHERINE OF RUSSIA ; the
whole terminating with the Asiatic Melo-Drama of the
TARTAR PRINCE.
On THURSDAY next, other novelties will be brought for-
ward for the Benefit of Signor HILLIER and Mr. BROAD-
FOOT, Treasurer; and on MONDAY, the 9th of March, and
the last of performing, will be given a new series of Classical
Novelties, for the Benefit of Mr. DUCROW.

Mr. Ducrow respectfully informs the Nobility and Public,
that the Amphitheatre will close on the 14th of March ;
therefore, any persons having claims on him or his establish-
ment, are requested to send the same in immediately.

METHOD OF MAKING THE REMEDY.

Fill a bottle three-quarters full with brandy, after which
add as much salt as will fill the bottle for corking; shake it
together ten minutes before it is used ; let the salt settle to
the bottom, and be particularly careful to use it when clear—
the clearer the better. Many persons have made a great
mistake in shaking it up before it is used. The efficacy is
not near so great, and to open sores the application is much
more painful from the particles of salt which ero not. aisuivea
in the brandy, but the salt and the brandy should remain to-
gether, and when all the brandy is used off, more may be
added to the salt. Though it is ready for use in twenty
minutes after it is put together, it is good at any time after,
and it is a perfect medicine, as it has the rare quality of
being greatly efficacious for either internal or external ap-
plication.
In conclusion, I beg to say to all, that this address is made
for no other purpose than to do good. I should wish it not
to do injury to any man, or any class of men, but as it is
calculated to be of great benefit to the mass of mankind, I
hope that it will be considered in that light.
I am sincerely their servant,
WILLIAM LEE.

'LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 22.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.)
Owing to a continuance of easterly winds since Tuesday last,
the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, have again been very
trivial; and although the demand has been limited, the scarcity
of fine British and Foreign Wheat, and of free sweet Flour, has
caused last quotations of the former article to be fully supported,
and an advance of 6d to is per sack and per barrel on the latter
has been obtained. The stocks of all other Grain on this market
are much reduced, and the value thereof has been steadily sup-
ported. The weather has continued very favourable for agricul-
tural operations, a steady frost without any snow.
The duty on Wheat, from foreign ports, is increased since Friday
last to 26s ad per qbarter, and on Flour to 16s 04d per barrel, also
on Barley, Indian Corn and Buck Wheat, to I 2t 4d per quarter, and
on Pease to 6s 6d per quarter. There has not been much demand
for export, but Flour, in bond, has been sold at 26s per barrel ;
the quotations of Grain, in bond, continue almost nominal.
In consequence of the advance in Mark-lane yesterday, higher
prices were demanded at this day's market for every article in the
Corn trade, excepting Malt,—but they were barely obtained, and
only to a very moderate extent, so that we can make Wit a very
small increase in our quotations since this day week.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 24.

Without being able to notice any considerable sales of Butter
since the publication of our Tuesday's circular ;—we can positively
state that the market wears a more salubrious aspect ; and from
inquiries making by certain members of the sjuare toed, but ob-
servant old school, we unhesitatingly predicate a spanking business
when Christmas has turned. Our advice therefore, to all parties,
(holders particularly,) is, to be patient; and to every member of
the trade we wish most heartily that they may have " Long purses,
renewed energies, and a merry Christmas."

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARCET, DEC. 23

Our market has acquired more firmness since the termination
of the late London sales. The selection► here is not of a superior
description, but all clean saleable Wools have experienced a good
demand. The transactions are more numerous than for some time
past, and, in several instances, higher prices have been obtained.
Imported this week, 1 bale; previously this year, 55,32 i ; total,
53,323 bales.—Scotch :—The stocks of Scotch Wool held here at
present are low; a good demand has existed for most descriptions
this week, and prices had a tendency to improve. Imported this
week, 831 bags; previously this year, 13,473; total, 14,301 bags.

remarl

Chapman had said.
A long and uninteresting discussion took place on a report
from the sub-committee of works, relative to covering the
roofs of certain sheds on the dock quays with slate, iron, or
air,

It was eventually resolved that the roof of the shed
on the north-west side of Clarence half tide basin be covered
with zinc, as an experiment, and all the others with slate.

On the of the

-committee of works,

a high pressure steam-engine, of six-horse power, was
ordered to be erected, for the purpose of clearing Brunswick
graving docks from water. The cost was estimated by the
surveyor at £770. In answer to a question from Mr. Evans,
he said, the annual expense of working the engine would be
very little.

A letter from Messrs. R. and W. Scobell, agents for
Stedd's wooden pavement, offering to lay down specimens
thereof at 9s. per square :yard, and calling attention to its
success in London and Manchester, was referred to the
Board of Works.
A communication was read from the Secretary of the
Trinity Board, giving the sanction of that establishment to
erection of a beacon upon the site of Grange Mill, and sug-
gesting a slight alteration in the plan proposed.
The CHAIRMAN said, he had seen the proprietor of the
Grange Farm, who agreed to accept a nominal rent for the
occupation of his land by the beacon, but he would not con-
sent to its erection after the proposed plan, as he considered
it would be too much like a factory chimney.
Mr. HORSFALL said, the committee were very much in-
debted to the proprietor for the spirit in which he had met
them. He suggested that the beacon should be built in a form
to obviate any objection.
The Sub-committee of works were authorized to proceed
with the erection, after a plan to be made agreeable to all
parties, without comit'y, before the general committee again.
Messrs. Groom and Son, of Lord-street, were appointed
stationers, and Mr. Pannell, of Byron-street, printer, to the
committee for the next six months.

A memorialiilOn-WTni;bltilts of Liverpool was read,
calling attention to a serious inconvenience experienced at
low water, from the south west corner of George's Dock to
the landing stages, especially at nights.
The CHAIRMAN said, that twelve months ago, the com-
mittee carried a footway to, and also improved the south side
of George's Dock. An application was then made to the
Paving Board to do that which the memorialsts now asked to
be done, and they refused. This committee had no power
to comply with their wishes; that rested with the corpora-
tion The secretary was directed to inform the memorialists
I •

The Receiver of dues at Runscorn, reported that thos
the last month amounted to £77 19s. 11d.
The committee then separated.
