AT a MEETING of MERCHANTS, BROKERS, and
others interested, held at the Clarendon Rooms, Liver-
pool, on FRIDAY, the 10th instant, to take into consideration
the Bill for the introduction of the Bonded System into
Inland Towns, brought into Parliament by her Majesty's
Government,

W. P. BUSHBY, Esq. in the Chair,
It was Resolved,—That, in the opinion-of this Meeting, no
necessity has arisen for the proposed change, whilst the
transfer of this branch of business from the seaports to the
interior would open new doors to fraud and to depredation,
would seriously derange the existing course of trade, and
entail on the country a very great and unnecessary expense
in the management and collection of the revenue, without
giving any adequate advantage to the country at large.
That it is highly-expedient that steps should be promptly
taken to protect the interests of all classes which may be
injuriously affected thereby.
That a Committee be now formed to collect evidence to be
given before the Select Committee of the House of Commons
to whom the bill is referred, and that a Subscription be
entered into to defray the necessary expenses.
(Signed) W. P. BUSHBY, Chairman.

TO CONNOISEURS IN SODA WATER.
IF a highly concentrated combination of Carbonic cid Gas,
with a valuable and esteemed Alkali, if unpa Bled spe-
cific gravity, in an exhaustless spring, suppl ng the ele-
mentary material, and freed from all i p e and earthy
carbonates BE GEMS in the production o first-rate bottle
of Soda Water, then ELLIS'S manufact re may fearlessly
challenge comparison with all the world.
The want of PURE and SUITABLE WATER, in the
first place, and the want of perfectly understanding the ma-
nufacturing process, in the second place, abundantly account
for the frequent complaint, disappointment, and annoyance
constantly experienced by all true lovers of this delightful
and wholesome beverage.
The extensive patronage which the-Royal Family, the No-
bility and Gentry have bestowed upon ELLIS'S SODA
WATER," equally attest its excellency and superiority, and
it is now the only Fashionable Beverage used at the Tables
of Royalty.
Prepared by R. ELLts,
Royal Family, at his Elabora
and can be procured fresh at

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 vastmillti-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the clan of habitual Inveaids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, anr 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 o}‘ SYRIACUM

will be found to have peculiar efficaq, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has beeii 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 tabis damns; 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 and unprolific frame—the deli-
cate 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, 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 protract
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 constitutions,
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 Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,
Improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.
Sold in bottles, price Ils. each, or the quantity of four in
one Family Bottle for 355., by'which one 11s. bottle is saved,
duty included.

PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INKSTAND.
THIS novel and useful Invention i4ures an instantaneous
supply of CLEAR FILTERED INK in the cup of the
Filter, which can be returned into tile Inkstand at any mo-
ment, where it is secured from iitury, and not affected by
the atmosphere. The Ink, thus protected, never thickens
or moulds, and remains good for any length of time in any.
climate. The process of filtration causes the colouring mat-
ter to be held in suspension ; hence the trouble and inconve-
nience occasioned by unsuitable Ink, generally found in
ordinary Inkstands, are completely obviated by the use of
the FILTER INKSTAND. One of moderate size will
contain sufficient Ink for six or twelve months' writing.

Air OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE-
.L. RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or
Habitual Costiveness, Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable
cure and preventive of Gout.
This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much
study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines
of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be
the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The
almost unprecedented sale Which it hbtained has aroused
the cupidity of many unprincipled peons, who are always
ready to take advantage of the plarity of another's
invention; and this medicine has therefore been very exten-
sively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its pro-
perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government
Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Moxon and
Smith, (then co-partners,), Chemists, Hull," engraved on it.
This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation.
Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its valuable
properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many
members of the medical profession, (among others those of
Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility,
clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by
all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other
medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an invaluable
companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical
countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary
student; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the
bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon-
ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will
restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant
symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to
the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally
prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack,
without that injury to the constitution which is consequent
upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives.
To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick-
headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect
performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords
a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once
effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant
symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other
gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle.
Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and Ils. each bottle, by all
respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay
and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and
Raimes, Edinburgh.
