ANDREW SMITH'S PATENT WIRE ROPE, FOR
STANDING RIGGING.

THE notice of Shipowners, Shipmasters, and others, is
respectfully requested to the following testimonials of
the superiority of the above Rope over Hempen Cordage.
The Patentee, in consequence of his Rope coming greatly
into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per
cwt. to 60s. per cwt., maling it fully 30 per Cent. cheaper
than Hemp Rope.
ROBERTSON and CO., 12, Goree-piazzas,
Sole Agents at Liverpool.

" City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company,
" Office, 24, Water-street, Liverpool, April 2], 1841.
" GENTLEMEN,—In reply to your letter of this morning,
I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope
for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on board
of this Company's new Steamer the Brin-go-Brayh, and
which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of
its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging
of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two
first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I
find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for
awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up,
and does not give to the lashings.
" I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.
" JAMES C. SHAW.
" Messrs. Robertson & Co., Goree-piazzas, Liverpool,
Agents for A. Smith's Patent Wire Ropes."

" Liverpool, 15th May, 1841.
GENTLEMEN,—At the request of the Patentee, Mr.
Smith, I beg to state for his ;information, that the Patent
Wire Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Garrow, of 711
tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England
to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was
tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel-
lent condition ;so much so, that do not consider it neces-
sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has
performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite
to do so.

" I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its
great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage,
being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the
latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have
experianced, 'much more durable. The John Garrow's
Lower Rigging is only 3,1 inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas,
had it been Hemp, 8, inch would have been required.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours truly,
F. WILSON.

BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY AND ALL

THE ROYAL FAMILY

SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS,

JERATED LEMONADE.
THE continued preference of the Public for the above
celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price
at which imitations are rendered), so abundantly proves
their superior quality, that it only remains for the manufac-
turers to express their acknowledgments, and to caution
consumers against an imposition frequently practised by un-
principlesl persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCHWEPPE'S
manufacture. None are genuine without a label represent-
ing the name of their firm.
SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA.

This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power-
ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest
distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This
invaluable alkali in the fluid form is so rapidly superseding
its use in the solid state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases
of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in-
jurious tendency of the latter to lodge and accumulate in the
bowels, that the Public attention cannot be too often directed
to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the
highest state of perfection. Manufactured at 51, Berners'-
street, London ; and sold, wholesale, at their branch manu-
factories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, and at the Lon-
don Patent Medic►ne Houses.

Export orders manufactured especially for Warm Climates.
Importers of GERMAN SELTZER WATER, in Quarts
and Pints.

THE YORKSHIRE BOROUGH ELECTIONS.-1I iS a remark-
able fact that each of the five Conservative members who
have displaced Whigs in the Boroughs of Yorkshire, have
been placed at the head of their respective polls. At Leeds,
Mr. Wm. Beckett ; at Bradford, Mr. Hardy ; at Pontefract,
Lord Pollington ; at Hull, Sir John Hanmer, Bart. ; and at
Scarborough, Sir John Vanden Bamfylde Johnstone. Bart.
To these must be added the two new Conservative members
for Knaresborough, Mr. Lawson and Mr. Busfeild Ferrand,
whose election more than counterbalances the Conservative
loss at Beverley and Wakefield.

UNPARALLELED DESPATCH IN THE PRINTING OF
TICRETS.—On Thursday the Ist inst. the committees of the
liberal and conservative candidates for the West Riding of
Yorkshire, at Leeds, applied to the Manchester and Leeds
Railway Company, to have a number of their respective
friends conveyed to "Wakefield, for the purpose of being pre-
sent at the nomination. Mr. Edmondson, who fills the situa-
tion of check clerk to the Manchester and Leeds Company,
and who is the inventor of a very peculiar machine for print-
ing tickets, to which we have alluded on former occasions,
went from Manchester to Leeds the same day, to make ar-
rangements with the parties, who were anxious to have
tickets provided by the following day. He returned the same
night. The printing commenced at half-past eight o'clock
the following morning. Eight thousand tickets were printed
in consecutive order ; which the machine arranges as it prints
them ; and Mr. Edmondson left Manchester with the tickets
by the half-past eleven o'clock train, and arrived in Leeds by
half-past two o'clock, p.m. On Monday last (the day of no-
mination), 16,000 passengers were conveyed on the line,
without coufusion, or the slightest accident to any one.

AWFUL EXPLOSION.—FOUR PERSONS KILLED.—A dread-
ful explosion of carburetted hydrogen gas occurred in one of
the pits of Rhodes Bank colliery, near Oldham, on the fore-
noon of Friday, the 2d instant. Eleven miners were in the
pit at the time, of whom six were in the part of the mine
where the explosion occurred. The noise of the explosion
was tremendous, and the earth works of the shafts were
much disordered in consequence.

NORTH YORKSHIRE.-Mr. Bates, who has so nobly stood
forward in vindication of the Conservative cause, has made
two objections to the return, one is that as the notification
received from Mr. Lascelles, was addressed to the Radical
committee and not to the sheriff, and that therefore the
latter had no authority to refuse the poll; and secondly, that
Mr. Cayley's seconder was not a registered elector. Mr.
Bates will take steps to set aside the whole proceedings.
