THE MERCHANTS' TEA COMPANY,
44, GREAT GEORGE-STRERT,
LIVERPOOL.

EDWARD GILBERT respectfully informs his Friends,
and the Inhabitants generally of -Liverpool, of the Dis-
solution of the Partnership hitherto subsisting between
himself and Mr. Orchard, and also that it is his intention to
carry on the Establishment solely on his own account.
In soliciting a continuance of those favours which the late
firm were so liberally supplied with, the Proprietor confi-
dently asserts that, in point of quality aud price, no House
can supply the Public more to their advantage in the Articles
he sells, particularly in TEAS; and the circumstances that
give him this superiority over the rest of the Trade, consist
in a thorough search which he has made through the Liver-
pool, Bristol, and London Tea Markets, a careful comparison
of the different qualities, so as to select the very finest and
most serviceable Teas, and a determination to offer them
for Sale at the very lowest remunerating profit.
These TEAS he now . respectfully offers to the Public,
earnestly soliciting a trial of them, and invites comparison
with any House in the Trade

AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH Al NERAL MARMONATUM.
MONS. LE DRAY & CO., Sutge 'Dentists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inh 'tants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma-
nently at No. 70, S gEL-ST 'BEET, eight doors from Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevent
effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invari..-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects
individuals of all ag,es and of all constitutions, and is the
primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected
Mons. Le Dray and Co. have tp inform them, that they can
effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single ap-
plication without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed front
one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without sprihgs, wires, or ligatures, answering all
the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per-
fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and, repla-
ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following
Paris charges :

A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0
A complete Set 5 5 0
A complete Set of Natural Teeth on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro-Me-
tallic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged Forty Guineas
Loose teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Ar-
tificial teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and
restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state.
Attendance from nine till seven, and on Sundays from nine

SHAREHOLDERS IN RAILWAYS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—Since the appearance of W. M.'s able letter. (in-
serted in your valuable paper of Friday last,) exposing Fart
of the system adopted by the London and Liverpool Stock
Jobbers, of fleecing the unwaary Shareholders in Railways,
a considerable improvement has taken place in the prices of
the various respectable lines. lam glad to see that W. M.
is determined to follow up the expose, because he is protect-
ing the property of the honest and bona fide holder of rail-
way scrip, against the vulture-like rapacity of the railway
°amblers. I have been told, that if the holders of railway
shares' (and I believe it from W. M.'s letter,) would stick
to them through good and bad report till next February, that
we should see the London Gazette contain the names of many
of these railway sharks who have been feeding upon the
vitals of the weak and timid. One of these voracious fish
made a bite at me to-day, but, having read "Waterton's
Natural History," and " W. M.'s" promise to attack them
again, I knew how to evade them. Both of the above
writers say, "Be firm, never mind paltry stories, and you
will protect your own property." It is said that infinitely
more railway shares have been sold for next month and the
month of January than could be delivered, unless prices can
be driven down; and, this being the case, if the holders will
only hold on, they will raise their own property to such a
level as it should occupy in the scale of prices.
I remain, with great respect,
Your most obedient servant,
WILL WATCH, Shareholder.

SWEDEN

The German papers continue to afford some further dis-
tressing reports of i he agitated state of the capital of Sweden.
There would appear to he still a great excitement and a de-
termined hostility manifested by the lower orders of the peo-
ple of Stockholm. The very aged King, almost weighed
down by the weight of years, and distressed by the unhappy
relations with his son, the Crown Prince, has, in addition to
these misfortunes, to struggle with an alienation of the affec-
tion of the people.

made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of
years. These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per Cent.,
and have amounted to upwards of £lOO,OOO.
In the LIFE OFFICE nearly the whole of the profits are
divided among the parties insured. Their effect may be
judged of front a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his
own life for £3OOO, which additions increased to £398.3.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices have broken up within
a few years, and nearly as many new ones having been pro-
jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by
such new Offices have been long realized under the plans and

The Annual Premium and Duty upon those Insurances
which are renewable at MICHAELMAS should be paid on the

Bonuses, which have already amounted to £445,798.
Since the Ist. of January last, 440 NEW POLICIES HAVE
BEEN lssuEo, a number probably not exceedqd by any other
office, and affording the most conclusive evidence of the
public confidence in this establishment.
Members of this Society applying at any of the Head
Offices, or to the Agents, may be fnrnished with copies of
the First Report of the Referees on the state of the Society's
affairs, as also of the original Deed of Settlement, and of
the By-laws submitted to a General Meeting in November
last, with the Amendments proposed by a Committee of
Policy Holders appointed at such meeting.
The Board of Directors sit every Monday from twelve to
two o'clock, at the Office, in Surrey-street, but Insurances
may be effected on any other day, upon application at the
Office, where also the terms of Insurance may be had, and
every information respecting the Society obtained.

ripHIS Society is founded on the equitable principle of
IL mutual guarantee. The Rates of Premium (for Lives

thus yielding an immediate advantage to parties insuring,
besides• which the members enjoy the benefit of periodical
Bonuses, which have already amounted to £445,798. -
Since the Ist of January last, 440 NEW POLICIES HAVE
BEEN IssuEn, a number probably not exceeded by any other
office, and affording the most conclusive evidence of the
public confidence in this establishment.
Members of this Society applying at any of the Head
Offices, or to the Agents, may be furnished with cdpies of
the First Report of the Referees on the state of the Society's
affairs, as also of the original Deed of Settlement, and of
the By-laws submitted to a General Meeting in November

Policy Holders appointed at such meeting.
The Board of Directors sit every Monday from twelve to
two o'clock, at the Office, in Surrey-street, but Insurances
may be effected on any other day, upon application at the
Office, where also the terms of Insurance may be had, and
every information respecting the Society obtained.
By order of the Board of Directors,

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of Russia appears to meet with many diffi-
culties in finding fitting husbands for his daughters. The
Crown Prince of Bavaria, who is a fitful and capricious lover,
and has been playing at hide-and-seek with the imperial
princess, appears now to have been prevailed upon to meet
her and- her Russian party in Prussia. The Empress and her
daughters are going to Berlin, whilst he is expected at Pots-
dam, within 16 miles of it. Negociations will, of course, be
resumed at Berlin. It is reported that the Czar had made
up his mind to bestow the second daughter upon the prince
of Leuchteuberg, a respectable but obscure prince.

SECOND SIGHT.

BY MRS• A BDY.
They tell me, thou-pale and thoughtful sage,
That thine. eye can glance o'er life's coining page,
That the shadows in time's dim glass concealed,
To thy piercing gaze Are all revealed.

When the infant smiles o❑ its mother's knee,
Thou dust not joy in its play:'ul glee,
Thou eanst tell the hour whey the world shall win

That sportive spirit to guile and sin

The maiden sits in her Summer borer,

Brighter in bloom than the fairect flower;
But thy look is sad, for thou know'st her doom
Is a fading cheek and atr early tomb.
The bride goes forth froin her home of youth,
She trusts in her faithful lover's truth ;
But thy tears at the boding vision start,
Of a broken vow and a blighted heart.

Soldiers march nn in their proud array,
'Their drums are beating their colours gay,
The crowd exults in their high career, '
But their death-dirge sounds in thy shuddering ear,

'These arethe records that numbers tell
Of the force of thy wouder-working spell ;
But for use, I cannot deem that Heaven
Has a boon so fatal to mortals given.
Oh ! not for the worlds, would I own the power
To lift the veil of one distant hour,
And sadly on youth and joy to gaze,
Knowing the ills of their coining days.

On the past I love to turn my eyes :
My present blessings I fondly prize ;
And, when doomed misfortunes to deplore,
I trust I have better days in store.

But I would not wish on those days to look—
They are safely kept in Gun's secret book ;
And ray heart would grieve were Ills wise design
Profaned by a feeble glance like mine.

TESTIMONIALS OF RESPECT PRESENTED TD CHURCH OF
ENGLAND CLERGYMEN.--We have great pleasure in an-
nouriding to our readers that testimonials of respect have
been presented to clergymen of the Church of England, be-
cause we are then able to refute the assertions of the radicals,
that the ministers of the church are in nine cases in ten not
on good terrfss with their parishioners. A correspondent has
sent us the names of a few clergymen who have received
tokens of regard from their congregations within the course
of a short time. Let the radicals read the subjoined list, and
let them blush deeply for the many falsehoods they have fre-
quently uttered in the most darinsr,.and barefaced manner :
Rev. E. Auriol, from the parishioners of St. Clements and
All Saints, Hastings; Rev. E. N. Carter, from the parish-
ioners of Ninfield ; Rev. J. K. Field, from the parishioners
of St. John's, Taunton : Rev. J. C. Orman, from the parish-
ioners of Brandon. Norfolk; Rev. S. A. Walker, from the
parishioniers-Bt. Mark's, Dublin. Remember, a clergyman
of the much vilified Church of Ireland. Rev. E. Wilson,
Master and Student of King's College, Isle of Man; Rev.
W. H. Hannagan, from the parishioners of Houghton-le-
Spring; Rev. D. Evans, from the parishioners Dwynnock ;
Rev. J. W. Dundas, from the ladies of All Saints, and the
parishioners of Portsea ; Very Rev. W. Routledge, from
the congregation of St. Andrew's Episcopal Chapel, Glas-
gow ; Rev.- E. Postle. curate of Baulburgh • Rev. C G. T.
Drifield, vicar of Prescott; Rev. C. S. Wasse, from the
teachers of Wayfield Sunday School; Rev. G. Hall, from
the congregation of St. Matthew's Manchester; Rev. H.
Paddon, from the parishioners of Alderstoke ; Rev. E.
Selwyn, from the parishioners of Ruddington, Nottingham-
shire. After reading the preceding, are we to believe that
the people of England are estranged from their national
church and their national clergy ?—Morning Post.

SHAREHOLDERS IN RAILWAYS.

7'O THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STrIND4RD.
Sin,—Since the appearance of W. M.'s able letter, (in-
serted in your valuable paper of Friday last.) exposing part
of the system adopted by the London and Liverpool Stock
Jobbers, of fleecing the unwaary Shareholders in Railways,
a considerable improvement has taken place in the prices of
the various respectable lines. lam glad to see that W. M.
is determined to follow up the expose, because he is protect-
ing the property of the hottest and bona fide holder of tail-
way scrip, against the vulture-like rapacity of the railway
gamblers. I have been told, that if the holders of railway
shares (and I believe it from W. M.'s letter,) would stick
to them through good and bad report till next February, that
we should see the London Gazette contain the names of many
of these railway sharks who have been feeding upon the
vitals of the weak and timid. One of these voracious fish
made a bite at me to-day, but. having read " Waterton's
Natural History," and " W. M.'s" promise to attack them
again, I knew how to evade them. Both of the above
writers say, "Be firm, never mind paltry stories, and you
will protect your own property." It is said that infinitely
more railway shares have been sold for next month and the
month of January than could be delivered, unless prices can
be driven down; and, this being the case, if the holders will
only hold on, they will raise their own property to such a
level as it should occupy in the scale of prices.
I remain, with great respect,
Your most obedient servant,
WILL WATCH, Shareholder.

POSTING BILLS ON THE SUNDAY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST47VD4RD.

SIR,--I trust von will notice in your paper the practice
often followed in Liverpool, viz., that of posting bills on the
walls on the Sabbath-day. Yesterday I saw men engaged
in posting four large bills—one front the Zoological Gardens,
announcing a grand fete; another, the Conjuror's perform-
ance at the Liver; a third, Cooper's benefit at the Royal;
and the fourth was issued by the County Building Society.
I have noticed this desecration of the Lord's-day for some
time, and foolishly hoped our reforming Town-council would
have put a stop to so flagrant an outrage on the decency of
the religious portion of our townsfolk. I beg to observe, that
these men were pursuing their vocation while people were
proceeding to their places of worship.—l am, &c., G. M
September 24, 1838.
[We feel convinced that the fault of which our correspon-
dent so justly complains is attributable to the bill-posters,
and not to the parties by whom they are employed, as all
such bills must be printed at an early hour on Saturday.—
E. L. S.]
