UNDER THE SANCTIOI4t OF THE MAGISTRATES.
allE undersigned PAWNBROKERS of Liverpool,
II from a desire to act in accordance with the improved
spirit of the times, adopted at a Meeting, held on Thursday,
the 15th instant, the Resolutions annexed to this paragraph.
Contemplating all salutary changes, whether in a political or
a social point of view, as having for their object, the welfare
of the community, they felt it an imperative duty to society
to ameloriate the condition of their Assistants by abridging
the hours of labour, and by affording them every facility in
their power to the development of the mental faculty—con-
sidering this last to be one grand means of shielding the heart
against the contamination of vice: for it will be admitted, on
all hands, that ignorance is the great cause of crime. Every
step taken, therefore, to remove this evil will be conferring
a benefit on society, and will yield satisfaction to the mind
of every individual engaged in it from such -conduct being
duly appreciated by the wise and good. To close Immany of
the avenues to vice as are practicable is another dutywbich
every man owes to society. Viewing with concern the de-
moralizing influence on the rising generation, caused by
receiving pledges from persons of tender years, the under-
signed are determined to close this avenue by, henceforth,
refusing to receive pledges from children. By closing their
shops. earlier in the evening, the undersigned think that
another avenue will be shut against vice, as the facility now
afforded to thieves will, thereby, receive an effective cheek;
the disposal of stolen property rendered inure difficult ; and
the chances of detection multiplied. It is to be lamented,
that, while the Pawnbrokers' Establishments, in affording
relief to the necessitous, they are too frequently made the
receptacles of stolen property. That such as the case is be-
yond all question, and while the circumstance cannot be too
much deplored, the Pawnbroker is often made the victim
of unmerited odium, as though he were a party to the con-
cealment of such property. The Pawnbrokers, generally,
would scarcely be so foolhardy as to run the risk of expatria-
tion by receiving stolen property with a guilty knowledge,
when they have the means of acquiring respectable incomes
by the legitimate use of their Capital. To disabuse the puts
lie mind of a prejudice so injurious to the Pawnbrokers, as
a body, and which, alas! is but too prevalent, it is only
necessary to ask, whether it is not unjust, nay, cruel, to
brand the whole trade with infamy for time delinquencies of a
few F for, however inquisitorial, however cautious the Pawn-
broker may be, he is liable to he deceived, and, unless it
could lie prover), that the Pawnbrokers, generally, betray a
want of caution on Strangers presenting tnemselves at their
Countets, the obloquy heaped upon them, and time prejudice
existing against them, are as they are malignant and unjust.
Resolved,—That the undersigned, Pawnbrokers of Liver-
pool, from a desire to check the facility now afforded to
thieves by the present hours of transacting business, agree to
Close their Shops at Seven o'clock in the Evening, from the
29th September until the 25th of March, and at Eight in the
Evening from the 25th March until the 29th September.
Rese:ved,—That this Meeting, viewing the demoralizing
influence on the rising generation from taking .Pledges from
Persons of tender years, determine, in future, not to receive
any Pledge or Pledges from Children.
Resolved,—That the remarks read, and the resolutions
adopted by -the General Meeting, he published. once in each
of the Liverpeol newspapers, with the names of all those fa-
vourable to the Resolutions adopted by rim,. General Meeting.

pßoFEssou SWEDOUR'S HYGEIAN HERB
PILLS, for the effectual extirpation of every species
and symptom of the syrunATtc DISEASE, and thy
disorders arising from improper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the t•ole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL-STIiE E
BT, LIVRPOOL.
In boxes at 2s. Pd. and Is. 6d. each.
Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBE:I3S, or any

deleterious ingredient.
*** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venerea.
and Syphilitic Diseases, with oliServations on seminal weak-
ness /kr. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.
Dr. DI, VIESON continuesto,direct his attention to thole
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous train of nervous affections. but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by
which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he
offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor-
ous health.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the
venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution. When the great Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand Panacea,
for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis-
covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with
avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most
minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint. for the
cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame
of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in-
troduction into almost every country. The certainty with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion or infection
was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which has given such general satisfaction.? The
Hygeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They
not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different functions of the body expelling the grosSer hu-
mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the most sceptical of their astonishieg and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest sespicion
of discovery—they require ne restraint of diet, loss of time,
or hindrance of business,-hut effect a complete cure, without
the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the
slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse
to the Ilygetan Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as n certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have been when visiting
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
lively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests,
by sea. and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person
going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such
that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre-
vent the due effects on the constitution.

Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight
in the morning until Ten at nigltt, (on Sundays fron► Nina
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, wiTtiouT A Ftb:.
