FINEST

JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
THIS most efficient and agreeable preparation of
that well known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SAR
SAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific method,
by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are pre-
served ; and the experience of many years has fully established
the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the vir-
tues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial ef-
fects have been particularly striking in the following com-
plaints :—Nocturnrnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous En-
largment of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheu-
matisms, &c., &c. ; in freeing the system after a course of
Mercury its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies
the blood, and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy.nnd
regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipilatous
in nan illation, from which so many persons periodically suffer;
and when taken in the Spring and Fall of the Year as an Altera-
tive Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the
constitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appe-
tite, and freshness of the complexion.
Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, 52, Lord-
street, Liverpool, in bottles at lls., 225., and Ms. per bottle.
N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country, boxes
are safely packed up, containing Two 22-shillingbottles for .t'2,
and Cases equal to Five for £5, upon receipt of a Post-office
order.—The Preparation will keep in any climate.

RAMAGE'S CONCENTRATED COMPOUND
SOLUTION OF IRON. The well-known tonic proper-
ties of Iron have made it a medicine of daily application in all
cases of debility, produced by a poor and impoverished state of
the blood.

THE SYMPTOMS by which this state of the system is
known are the following :—General weakness, languor, inapti-
tude to exertion, loss of appetite, imperfect digestion, flatu-
lence after taking food, a feeble action of the heart, palpitation
on the slightest exertion, cold hands and feet, irregular action
of the bowels, and severe headaches.

THE EFFECT of this Preparation of Iron is to act as a per-
manent Tonic. By strengthening and invigorating the sto-
mach and digestive organs, the appetite is not only increased,
but the food taken is properly digested, the blood is made in
better quality and larger quantity, thereby the action of the
heart is t ncreased, rendering the pulse fuller andstronger, aug-
menting the temperature of the body, and improving the tone
of the muscular fibre.
This Medicine is much assisted by using RAIKAGE'S LAXA-
TIVE PILLS at the same time.
Sold in Bottles, at 4s. 6d. each, Wholesale and Retail, by the
Proprietor's appointment, at JOHN SANGER'S, 150, Oxford-
Street, and may be procured of Carter, Johnson, Jones,

geld, Troughton, Wagstaff, and all respectable Medicine Ven-
ttrs throughout the country,

DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
OFFICE, 4, QUEEN-SQUARE.
THE COMMITTEE of the DISTRICT PRO-
VIDENT SOCIETY are compelled, by the pressure of the
times. to appeal to the Public for immediate assistance, by Do-
nations, to relieve the distress caused by the high price of Po-
tatoes, and the destitution consequent upon the Sickness that
prevailed during the Autumn.
The number relieved during Nov., 1845, was.. 215
At a cost of X 22 16 0
The number relieved during Nov., 1846, was 1,115
At a cost of £9B 8 8
Showing an excess in numbers of 900
in money of ..e75 17 8
and this notwithstanding the most careful economy in the se-
lection of cases and the distribution of relief.
As the Funds of the Society. are only sufficient for the ordi-
nary expenditure, it will be impossible to meet this extraor-
dinary demand* without additional aid, which the Committee
hope and trust the Public will, as on all previous occasions,
liberally afford.
Donations will be thankfully received by the TREASURER, at
the Office, and Books for Donations will be left at the Banks
and Reading-rooms.

SECURITY FROM FIRE, VIOLENCE, AND
FRAUD, TO BOOKS, DOCUMENTS, CASH, AND
VALUABLES.

As the end of the year approaches, every Banker, Solicitor,
Merchant, and Tradesman, will find, on fire mutates' reflection,
how vitally his property and comfort are involved in the pre-
servation of his Books.
MILNER'S PATENT
FIRE-RESTSTING, NON-CONDUCTING, AND
EVAPORATING SAFES AND BOXES,
afford the only rational and practical security—may be fitted to
all other Safes, and are regulated in various thicknesses, (see
circulars,) to resist the fire arising from the burning down of
all classes of buildings. After thrty years' experience of the
Patentees, somewhat industriously devoted to the one object,
and the benefit of the practical hints from their numerous
Agents throughout the United Kingdom, and almost all parts
of the commercial world, including perhapslooo of the best
mechanics of the day, who are constantly working over all
classes, and investigating every fire that occurs, they have
made most important improvements in their manufactures,
and they earnestly solicit inspection of their extensive and va-
ried Stock at their

Lord-street, and 47 to 45 Cable-street.

HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, that the Persons whose
Names and Places of Business are mentioned underneath,
having, in compliance with the provisions of the Dock Act of
the last Session of Parliament, executed, with two sufficient
Sureties, the Bond required by the said Act to be given to the
Dock Trustees, are authorised to act as MASTER PORTERS,
for Receiving, Weighing, and Loading off the Cargo of every
Vessel arriving from any Foreign Port, entering and using any
of the Docks or Basins of the Trustees, on the Quays of which
no Warehouses are erected, in addition to the Master Porters
whose names have been already published:—

The Cargo of each Vessel from any Foreign Port enterieni
and using any of the said Docks or Basins, shall be receiv
weighed, and loaded off, by one set of Porters only, who sha
be in the employ, and under the direction and orders, of one
of the authorised Master Porters.

The Master Porters are required to act, as far as practicable,
in regular rotation. . . _

Every Master Porter, upon receiving Goods from any Vessel,
is regiured to give immediate notice to the owner or consignee
of the goods, and to proceed, without delay, in weighing and
loading off the same? unless the Owner or Consignee of the
Goods shall give notice to such Master Porter that the same
Goods, or any part thereof, are to remain on the Quay ; and
all Goods shall be loaded off, and removed from, the Quay
within 48 hours next after the time in which the same shall have
been landed. _ _

- And in case such Goods shall not have been removed, as
aforesaid, the Dock Trustees may warehouse the same in an
Warehouse, whether belonging to the Trustees or not, and
such Goods may be detained in such Warehouse, as security
for all expenses payable to the Master Porters, and for all
rents, rates, and expenses, payable to the Trustees, or to the
Owner of the Warehouse in respect of such Goods, and for the
payment of the Freight of such Goods, upon notice to detain

such Vessel.
Every Owner or Consignee of the entire Cargo of any Vessel

the purpose of receiving; weighing, and loading off, the Carp

Any liaster Porter may he prohibited from acting, or con-
tinuing to act, as a Master Porter for such period and for suck

FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the Hair is
Infants and Young Children is, by inexperienced mothers and
nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be snore injurious
than the supposition that neglect in thisparticularcan continue
with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in
the nursery ; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets, or
bald heads, of after years, are traceable to this early period.
OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, long celebrated for its
genial and invigorating qualities, in promoting and restoring
the growth of the Hair, is peculiarly fitted (applied according
to the printed directions) for application during the tender
years of infancy and childhood ; and no nursery where perso-
nal advantages are held in any estimation, should be without it.
Price 3s. 6d., Gs., and I Is. per Bottle; no other prices are ge-
nuine. Ask for OLDRIDGIVS BALM, I, Wellington-street
Strand, London. Sold by all respectable Chemists, Perfumers
nd Stationers.

FASHIONABLE RESTAURANT.—Those who have not yet
visited the Oriental Divan, Clayton-square, should not
omit an opportutunity, for the arrangements not only
surpass those of every similar hotel, but the viands are of
the choicest kinds. An excellent steak, cut in the London
style, with ell the etceteras, is charged Bd., and it may be
finished with half-pint.of splendid amontillado sberry, or
fine flavoured port, for one shilling. This is but a single
article, but others are charged proportionately low ;
deed, so low and so excellent as to have called from the
local press the following notices

The elegance with wrath it is fitted, the promptitude and
neatness with which every thing is served up, render it Mt
most fashionable restaurant."—Standard.
"The dinners and euppers cannot be excelled for variety, or
lowness of charges."—Albion.
"It consolidates the reputation et the proprietor as a caterer
for the public."—Nail.

" Suitable %o all classes--the wine is undeniable."—
In fact it gill be found that in every department there
Is mauifeited a desire to accommodate the public by the
proprietor, J. Feeny. A supply of London Oysters
received daily, to the delicious flavour of which we can
bear our testimony, having been enabled by the polite-
ness of Mr. Feeny, to pot them to the most undeniable
of all tests.
Lades will find the Restaurant a most comfortable
house to call at.—Adrertireozent.
