PARKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING PULLEYS.
THE Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton Factories,
Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and Joiners'
Establishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are
respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S PRINCIPLE of
BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a large saving of
motive power, with an increased velocity of motion never before
obtained in limited compass, and may be applied as well to the
the first motion from the engine as to the collateral demands
upon the power, which is largely saved by avoiding the Com-
plicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog Wheels.
The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen-
sions ; but the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Saw, which is made to perform a
variety of duties that render it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the pur-
chase of the royalties of any Town, County, District, or for any
individual establishment. and for directions in its application,
Apply to WILLIAM ROWETT, Commercial-buildings,
Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool.
NB--It has been ascertained that one man working the
Portable Saw can do the work 'of a steam-engine of one-hone
power fora limited period.

ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.
UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF ROYALTY AND THE
ARISTOCRACY THROUGHOUT EUROPE, AND
UNIVERSALLY PREFERRED & ESTEEMED.
THE successful results of the last Half Century
have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACAS-
SAR OIL possesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth,
restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when
every other specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now
universally acknowledged to be- the cheapest, and superior to
all other preparationsfor the. Hair. It prevents it from falling
off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—produces a thick
and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandruff—
and makes it beautifultS soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation
in cases of baldnessofs peculiarly active ; and in the growth of
Whiskers, Eyebjoirs, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recoin-
mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and
rendering the use of the fine-comb unnecessary. In dressing
the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably
soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcen.
dant lustre. A small Pamphlet accompanies each Bottle of
ROWLANDS' MACASt,AR OIL, wherein important hints and
advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair of Infancy and
on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of
human life.—Price 3s. 6d. and is. ; Family Bottles (equal to
four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. CAUTION !

and juvenile bloom ,• and imparts a delicacy and softness to the
Neck, Hands, and Arms. Perseverance in its application pro-
motes a free and uninterrupted exercise of those important
functions of the Skin so essential to the preservation of health,

LOSS OF TEETH. A New and Curious Invention connected
with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. Howard ; it
is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW' DESCRIPTION
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH ; fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth as not to
be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer.
They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very
superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not
require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and
will support and preserve the teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention
is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested
in it, should avail themselves of this New discovery.
MR. HOWARD, SURGEON DENTIST,
17, GEORGE-STREET,IiANOVER-SQUARE, LONDON.

At home from eleven till four.

This new method of fixing Artificial Teeth, has obtained the
approbation and recommendation of the following eminent
Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark, Bart., Physician
to Her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Accoucheur to Her
Majesty; Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant Surgeon to Her
Majesty; Sir D. Davies, Physician to Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to Her R. H. the Duchess
of Kent; and numerous other members of the Medical Pro-
fession.

Those interested in the subject will find this statement of
the superiority of these teeth over all others to be entirely and
scrupulously correct.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following extracts from Testimonials are proofs of
thegreat efficacy of this Medicine. That from Garrett Foster
Gill, Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London , concludes by saying—
" Whenever I feel any symptoms of the disease approaching
I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so
valuable that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I
should certainly attribute the relief I, obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree
suffered; but, on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's
Pills is towards its improvement."
" Twelve years ago," writes xtf. Blake, of Kingscliffe, North-
amptonshire, " I became afflicted with rheumatic gout, and I
procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit;
and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infir-
mary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left it without
obtaining any benefit, Abd all my hope of relief had vanished.
This hopeless state things continued until a friend advised
me to try Blair's s. I then lost no time in sending to Mr.
Mortlock, of St ford, for a box; and by the time I had taken
that quantity I of rid of one crutch. 1 then sent for another
box, which enabled me to throw away the other; and thank
God I have never since had such an attack."
Mr. William Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says—" I
had resort to your Pills, and within two hours I was quite easy.
The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the
world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly
with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your

Pills."
John J. Giles, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagshot, says—" Hav-
ing suffered much from acute Rheumatism, I was induced to
try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my humble testimony to
their efficacy, not only in my own case, but in several of my
friends, who have taken them on my recommendation."
Mr. John Gardiner, Advertiser Office, Wisbeach, writes—
"A customer of mine, Mr. William Cooper, of Walso-
ken-road, Wisbeach, informs me that he has been troubled
with severe attacks of Gout fur many years. During the last
attack, a few weeks ago, he was recommended to try Blair's
Gout Pills. At that time he states that he had not slept for
twenty-four hours, and the pain was like being racked with a
hand-saw. After taking four of the pills he felt complete ease.
He continued to take them, and has suffered no further from

-----
tle disorder."

ArTER TES YEARS' SUFFERING.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool,
dated August 20th, 1852.
To Professor HOLLOWAY,—Dear Sir,—l am enabled to fur-
nish you with a most extraordinary cure effected by your inva-
luable Ointment and Pills, which has astonished every person
acquainted with the sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W.
Cnmmins, of Saltney-street, in this town, was thrown from his
horse, whereby he received very serious injuries; he had the
best medical advice at the time, and was afterwards an inmate
of different infirmaries, yet he grew worse, and at length a ma-
lignant running ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely
crippled him, that he could not move without crutches for
nearly ten years; recently he began to use your Ointment and
Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his crutches, so that
he can walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health
and vigour. J. THOMPSON.
N MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE of A DREADFUL SKIN

DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. flint, Draper, of Keardy, near
Gainsbro', dated March lot, 1852.
To Professor HoLLowAy,—Sir,—Some time since, one of my
children was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the body
and limbs. I obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons
and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hope-
less.
At length I tried your Ointment and Pills, and without
exaggeration, the effect was miraculous, for by persevering in
their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health. I previously lost a child from
a similar complaint,
and I believe, had I in her case adopted
your medicines, she would have been saved also. I shall be
happy to testify the truth of this to any inquirer.—J. H RD.

ulcerated Xounds in her leg for many years,
increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual
remedies; her health rapidly giving way under the suffering
she endured. In this distressing condition she had recourse
to your Ointment and Pills,l and by the assistance of her
friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received
a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at
the effect upon so old a person, she being above 70 years of age.
We shall be happy to satisfy any inquiries as to the authenticity
of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letter.—
A private in the Bath Police Force, also, has been perfectly
cured of an old scorbutic affection in the face, after all other
means had failed. He states that it is entirely by the use of
your Ointment, and speaks loudly in its praise.—We remain.

TUESDAY 31ORNING, APRIL 5, 1553.

THE WEEK.

IF the old saying be true, that "a bushel of March
dust is worth a King's ransom," the last month left
us an abundance of riches. The days had been dry
and sunny, and the nights clear and frosty, till Thurs-
day, when the wind blew almost a gale, which
raised immense clouds of the much-prized dust.
During all the night the wind continued in fierce
gusts from the south-west, and the morning of April
broke, as an April morning should break, in smiles
and tears—an alternation of sunshine and showers.
The gale, however, was unabated, and some mari-
time disasters were the consequence. The magnifi-
cent ship Ebba Brahe sailed on Thursday afternoon
for Australia with about seven hundred emigrants,
but at ten o'clock the same night got on shore on a
sand called the East Mouse, whence she was not
relieved until two o'clock the next morning in a
leaky state, and was compelled to put back for the
necessary repairs. Such an untoward event to the
largest sailing vessel that has left this port has
caused much regret, as considerable interest was
felt in the success of her voyage.
The decision of the Finance Committee, to whom
was referred the selection of three candidates for
the office of Receiver of Town Dues, to be elected
by the Town Council, bas excited the animadversion
of our Radical contemporaries, who never lose the
opportunity of mixing up every affair with political
bias, and attributing every decision which does not
accord with their own views to political motives.
It appears, from a careful analysis of the votes,
that, out of sixteen members of the Committee, nine
were in favour of Mr. BRADE, who has ably dis-
charged the duties of the office during the illness of
the two previous occupants of it, and up to the
present time. The other seven members of the
Committee were, however, in favour of another
candidate, and, as three had to be returned, they
were unanimous as to the three for whom they
voted, and with the second and third votes of the
other members of the Committee added to the
seven, Mr. BRADE was left in a minority; so that
his defeat is solely owing to the want of unanimity
among his own friends. Such a result is not un-
common in Parliamentary elections, through the
second votes of the partisans of a favourite candi-
date being given indiscrimately to either of his
opponents, but it never yet was made the ground
for vitiating the election.

The annual parish meetings which have been held
during Easter have passed off on the whole very
satisfactory, though attempts have been made by
some to introduce discord, by throwing part of the
expense of the services of the Church upon volun-
tary aid. There is something very specious in the
manner in which the dissentients appeal to Christian
feeling, in their endeavours to reduce the Church
to the level of a voluntary society ; but we should
not forget that it is a National Institution to which
this country owes most of the blessings which it
enjoys.

Messrs. HARTLEY, the surveyors of the Dock
property, have presented a report to the Dock
Committee, upon the scheme of Mr. GRANTHAM
for a High Level Railway along the line of Docks.
Without entering into the question of its effect
upon the trade of Liverpool,—by facilitating the de-
spatch of merchandise from the vessels in the
Docks direct by railway to the interior, thereby
rendering warehouses in Liverpool comparatively
unnecessary,—they have confined their attention to
the end proposed, and condemned the scheme as
impracticable. They are of opinion that, so far
from affording increased facilities, it would operate
in a contrary direction, and, instead of proving
economical, make the cost of transit more expen-
sive. They are also of opinion that the large sum,
which the scheme would inevitably cost, would be
much more beneficially expended in the construc-
tion of commodions warehouses. At the same
time they approve of the proposal made by another
engineer, of a railway to connect the Stanley Dock
with the terminus of the East Lancashire and Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire Railways ; and the Dock
Committee, adopting the opinions of their surveyors,
have adopted the latter scheme.
Almost the whole of Liverpool was in a state of
excitement on Saturday, owing to the telegraphic
announcement that the steam-ship Great Britain,
from Australia, had arrived off Holyhead that morn-
ing, and might be expected to reach the Mersey
in the course of the afternoon. Shortly after four
o'clock the heavy booming of a gun gave the signal
of her approach, and the landing-stage, and every
available point along the river side, were speedily
crowded with thousands of anxious spectators to
witness the return of the mammoth ship from the
regions of gold. She steamed majestically up the
river amidst thousands of cheers of welcome,
dropped anchor off the wall of the Birkenhead
Dock, and at six o'clock made her way to the berth
prepared for her in the Wellington Dock. Her
arrival formed the general topic of conversation
during the day, and the satisfaction at the event,
which was naturally felt by those directly interested
in her welfaie, was largely shared by almost all
classes of the community.

AMERICAN PATRONAGE.—The American papers
give us a lively idea of the vast extent of that whole-
sale place-jobbing which is found necessary to oil
the machinery of the most democratic constitution
in the world. The substitution of a democratic
President for a Whig makes a clean sweep of some
hundred thousand posts, large and small; and no
potentate probably on the face of the earth has at
his disposal one-half of the enormous mass of
patronage which the usage of the Republic pours at
once into the lap of General Pierce. A great evil
surely, for it both makes place the reward of par-
tizanship, and stimulates partizanship by an unna-
tural greediness for place• It corrupts public spirit
and injures the public service, and inundates a
country at the same time with false patriots and in-
efficient employt's.—Guardian.
