in Liverpool'.—that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru-
dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, be so
reckless Of the thousands who are toiling early and late
to provide for their families, many must drop off long before
that object can be aecomplished ; yet how few have Assu-
rances upon their lives, and for this the reason usually as-
signed is, " that they have not had time to think of Life
Assurance." They have time for every commercial opera-
tion, however unimportant, but they have no time far one
transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay-
me.nt afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of
want after their death—an event rendered not less probable
by the fatigue and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a
vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers
of ships belonging to London having Assured their Lives;
whilst from the Mersey- thousands proceed annually to the
States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and
to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in-
debted to Liverpool merchants, hut without Assurance upon
their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial,
and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have
the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in
Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, of No. 20,

ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and

Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London.
SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum.
AIONs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from.
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their 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, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there
are 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 ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons: La DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,—
at the following Paris charges :---
A single Artificial T00th....
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Xatural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied_
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to tit the month,.
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original.
state. Attend ince from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.
r For the convenience of country patients, Monsieur
La DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete
set of Teeth at one sitting, without the least pain or incon-
venience.

[PRICE FIVEPENCE.

THE Per ANTELOPE.—One of our roan caught a young
antelope, which he brought to the camp upon his saddle. h
was a beautiful Mid most delicate little creature, andilha-i•ew
days became so tame as to remain with the eampewitheut
being tied, and to drink, from a tin cup, the milk which our
good missionaries spared from their own scanty meals. The
men christened it " Zip Koom;" audit soon became familiar
with its name, running, to them when called, :and exhibiting
many evidences of affection and attachment. It became great favourite with every one. A little pannier cif willows
was made for it, which was packed on the back of a mule ;
and when the camp moved in the mornings, little Zip ran to
his station beside his longeeared hack, bleating with impar
tience until some one came to assist him in mounting.—
Thtenshend's Sporting Excursions •in the Rocky .41fountains.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF PRINCE 'AL/Wl:T.—The
countenance of his highness is round, and devoid of colour ;
the forehead moderate, its great breadth being,
above the
outer angle of the eyes, forming projections where phrenolo-
gists-place the cream: of music and order. The hair, eorn
straight and entirely off the forehead, is not what is termed
"fair," but is a light hue, much like that of her Majeente
The brows are broad,. lowest at the inner angle;-and • hut
slightly arched. The eyes, cheerful in expreseion, are of a
greenish hazel, and not large. The nose rather long, with a
slight depression below the bridge, and another rise at the
pointe somewhat similar in- profile to that of the late Lord
Byron. The mouth is moderate, the lips well coloured, sur-
mounted by a narrow short moustache, which, with the brows
and eyelashes, are rather lighter in tint than the hair. lii
figure his highness is slight, and not tall ; but his careiage is
erect, and his movements active.
AFF_IcAN SHEEP.—The African sheep eenerally are co-
vered with fur or hair, instead of weol; and when these skins
are properly cleaned mid dressed, and a nuieliee of them
sewed together, they form a much ,eariner coveting than
could be made from any othei materials. The boors, who
are enabled by their immense docks to select only such as
have a smooth fur, obtain a handsome kombacirs, or coverlet,
so unlike what a European would imagine for sheep skins,
that many persons would not even guess from whet animal
it was made. Those which I hare brought to England have
often been viewed as the skin of some unknown anima. • Fev,-
furs can be more beautiful than the selected skins of lonia
thus prepared; and, if prejudice did not stand- in the way, I
think they might supplant many which are seen in (ften's-
riere' shops. Such -a branch of commerce might prove'nht
unimportant to the colonists or to the colony in general; it
might open a new source of profit, and turn to better ac-
count those innumerable flocks, for the rearing of which the
greater part of the Cape of Good Hope seems by nature pe-
culiarly adapted. Since the Cape, it seems, is not so fortu-
nate as to possess a climate and herbage, like New South
Wales, suited for the growth of the finest wools, it may prove
equally favoured in having such as to give to its sheep a soft
and useful fur.—Bitechelfs Travels in Southern
VARYINO A DANCE.---In the very heart of evening, ana
immediately after a long and lively dance, some one calls for
torches and sledges. Let no man be afraid of taking c01d,...
or talk scientifically .about draughts of sit. -A long bundle
of fir laths, as combustllde as the.turpentine itself, is brought
you by way of a torch ; the night iseiitch dark, cr 'at least
ought to be so, you hurry on your driving gear,. and pet
yourself in a sledge. No lady thinks of the chilleair. 'One
and all, they take to the sledges, and trust to their drivers,
of which perhaps forty or titty start all in a row with their
fir tree torches blazing like beacons, blown about by the
wind, and scattering their red sparks in every. direction.
There is no lack of noise ; forty sledges, with two persons in
each, do not travel without noise, even over the smoothest
road. Perhaps the steeds are froward. so much the worse
for the driver; if he flounders he will be run over ; for the
cavalcade loves not to stop in its career. Those who would
shine in the chariot-race should not give the torch. to his
partner, but hold reins and all (whips are riot wanted) them-
selves, and toss and wave theirtlaming brands over their own
heads, and across the backs of their horses. When the road
leads up a bill, and through a dark fir-tiwest, the. sight of
waving fires, galloping horses, and the flame-coloured snow,
contrasted with the black gloom of the -trees around, is
doubly striking. All but your own iminediate atmosphere
is dark ; the dense thicket, penetrated-by cm star, serving as
a window-shutter. Provided that the wind blows, and the
laths keep a light, and no steed stumble, and-no-lady scream,
torch-driving is a grand sight. When the roads are tood,
and the snow packs closely, it is well for two trains tonneet,
for then the drivers may salute each other by crossing their
torches. A good cavalcade looks liken train of cometehroke
loose, or a party of firemen at their recreations. Such es
read Greek, think of the torch-race of the ancients: I had to
think of keeping my horse's head straight. When the
torches are burnt out (as after about twenty-minutes they
generally are) the party returns home in the dark, which now
seems twice as gloomy as it did before, through it contrast
with the late blaze. Dancing recommences., Glasses of
brandy are taken medicinally. - No one catches cold.--
Lot hum's Norwap.
DAILY LIFE AT CHRISTINA,--A person, let us say in
the month of June, at the Witel du Nord, passes his day
much in the following manner. He breakfasts in Own
room, on coffee and whatever site he chooses to order; at
two o'clock he dines at the table d'hBte, where he may meet,
perhaps, half a dozen of his own countrymen, a few Ger-
mans, some of the unmarried merchants of the town,
and some professors of the university. His dinner will
consist of fish ; to which, in deference to the ,Norwegian
rule that fish must swim, he will drink some red wine,
most probably Medoe. In joints, the Scandinavians are
not allowed to shine ; but a beefsteak can be got there
as easily and as good as in England. London (or Got-
tenburg) porter, Seltzer water, and champagne, or, what
is better, a mixture of the two, can be had by- calling
for. If there be game, it will be grouse ; and pudding
and cheese wind up the meal. There are soups, as it hap-
pens : the natives, we will observe, generally throw in a
glass of brandy. Their example is very well to follow, if,.
you mean to stay but a short time in the -country, and to
make few or 110 acquaintances: unless, however, you mean
to do so, it is well to economise your powers of potation.
There is so much of necessary drinking in the way of heaths
and pledges, that superfluous drams should not be indulged
in. afterwards, you ao down into a parlour on the ground
floor (the bar), and take a cup of cothee ; • after this,
yen can
either go to sleep or play et billiards. There is a:
billiard
table at the house, at which visitors can -play gratar. The
habit of drinking tea, at least in the summer, may be dis-
carded after crossing the Baltic. If you think of walking
about until it gets Mask; and then going to bed, you will have
to promenade for about three weeks. There is no darkness
at this season of the year. Return to your inn about half-
past seven or. eight. .andieheinta,keeupper strawberries and-
cream is the grand dish at present—mOnntain, or at least
hill strawberries and cream, of rielmese unknown to the
Southron. If this does not suit, there is a carte; so that
you may order according to your fancy.---Latham's Norway.
ELIZABETH FIG G'S ACCOUNT OF THE 1:14ISEBIES OF A
STEAMER.—My berth is the uppermost one, and I have to
climb up to it, putting one foot 'cm the lower one, and the
other away out on the washhand-stand, which is a great
stretch, and makes it very straining ; then I lift one knee
on the berth, and roil in sideways. This is very inconve-
nient to a woman of nay size, and very dangerous. Last
night I put my foot on Mrs. Brown's face, as she lay asleep
close to the edge of the lower one, arid nearly pat out. her
eye; and I have torn all the skin Oil' toy knees, and then I
have a large black spot where I bare been hurt, and my
head is swelled. To dismount. is anether teat of horseman-
.ship only fit for a sailor. Yon can't sit-up for the Boor
overhead ; so you have to turn round and roll your -legs
out first, and then hold on till you touch bottom somewhere,
and then let yourself down- upright. 1i is dreadful work ;
and riot very decent thr a delicate female, if the Steward
happens to come in when you at:, in the act this way. et
don't know which is hardest, to get in or oat of the berth--
both are the most difficult things in the world, and I
shall be. glad when I am done with'it— I am ohliented
dress in bed afore I leave it, and nobody that hasn't- tried
to put on their clothes lying down can tell what a task it is.

SOUTH CHESHIRE.

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN

DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTER.
Gentlemen,
IHAVE this day received a notification of my appoint-
ment as High Sheriff of this county, and I hasten to
apprise you of this circumstance. •
Her Majesty's Ministers having thus incapacitated me
from coming forward as a Candidate for the Representation
of the Southern Division of the County, in event of a disso-
lution of Parliament occurring this year, I have only to
return my warmest thanks to those who honoured me with
their support, and, at the same time, to express my sense of
the civility I experienced in the course of my canvass from
those to whom I am politically opposed.
The.subjoined Correspondence has taken place between
her Majesty's Secretary for the Home Department and me.
t beg to remain, Gentlemen,
With much respect,
Your very faithful Servant, •

MY LORD,—Having seen my name on the Sheriff's list
for the County of Cheshire, I take the liberty of addressing
this letter to your Lordship, as her Majesty's Secretary of
State for the Home Department.
Yesterday afternoon it was communicated to me that a
Requisition signed by a large body of the Gentry and Electors
of this County, would be presented in a few days, calling on
me. in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, to offer my-
self as a Candidate for South Cheshire.
I therefore beg to express a hope that Her Majesty's Mi-
nisters will not appoint me Sheriff, and thus, probably, de-
prive a large body of the Electors of the county of Cheshire
of the power of bringing forward, at the next Election, a
Candidate- whom they wish to be their Representative in
Parliament.
Waiting your Lordship's reply,
I have the honour to be, my Lord,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
.1. TOLLEMAC E.

SIR,—I am directed by the Marquess of Normanby to

which you apply to be exempted from serving the office of
Sheriff for Cheshire, and to acquaint you that. your letter has
been forwarded to the Lord President of the Council.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient ,Servant.

THE celebrated Cordial. BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange.
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM
will he found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
:fallen into a despondent state of
,mind, and that distressing
• train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
:In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect fairs dorsals ; or, in
their way to the consummation 'of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &c. But
the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the
latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents
the inheritance of a diseased acid unprolific frame—the dell-
.eate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together
with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery
aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit,i and are, with-
out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave! Such
as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sv-
riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of
life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and
smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensity which a good digestion requires.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by
gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give
immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protrait
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a general restorative on debilitated constic.utimotn
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the
community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of
which removes diseases of the head. invigorates the mind,
mproves the memory, and enlivens the imaginaionnf

and Aar, for July, 1839, there is a very interesting act °nit
of an extraordinary tornado, front which we shall transcribe
the following portion:—" Having visited and :examined, the

We were on the ground in Septeaher, about two months
after the event. Before the tornado a region of .ICO or s(t)
acres had been covered by a dense forest of pine trees, maw of them very tall and large; neck had.been cut through this
forest, and a few solitary houses were planted in it, here and
there. Now we looked in vain fete. a single perfect 'tree.

ranged over the now almost empty aerial space. On, the
ground the appearances were still more.:remarkable. The
trees were interwoven in every possible way, so as to fort-net
