IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.

It has been observed that the -Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ; that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con-
fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate
these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and
efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered
to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at Is. 6d. each
FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

In this p.-eparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advautages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopceias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &it trop: the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous i►nitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.
A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of
that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid
and Cooling Medicine, for grown persons or children it can-
not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will
take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of
Citron it forms an effervescing draught.
The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le-
manade. and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can
be moraagreezble.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH,
PIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES.
SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED,

LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoraturn.
Mona. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened Establishments
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, Liverpool, (eight
doors from Berry-street,) and No. 52, GORGE-STREET,
Manchester.

They continue to fill up the cavities of Decayed 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, preventing
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
the 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 it
is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
_

-Mons. Li DRAY begs to introduce to the notice of his
Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN-
CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and can with
confidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mas-
tication and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest
observer. They never change colour or break, as those now
used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un-
pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not
require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and
will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose, at the
following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth .. £o 10 0
A complete Set 5 5 0
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the hut
style, with fine gold sockets, usuhlly
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 fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
trom Nine till Two.

Var For the convenience of country patients. Monsieur
LE DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete
set of Teeth at one sitting, without he least pain or incon-
venience.

And numerous Families of the highest: respectability.
Mr. COCKLE, SURGEON, has much pleasure in laying be-
fore his Friends and the Public, Mr. ABERNETHY'S ESTI-
MATION of his Antihilious Pills, extracted from a Letter
which that gentleman addressed to him in the year 1824 :

" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derangement
of the functions of that important organ, and connected with
a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause, chiefly,
may be attributed the various diseases of the body, both local
and constitutional.) and I have thus had frequent opportu-
nities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They greatly
influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in
the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without
occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most ex-
cellent family aperient medicine, which may be taken at all
times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon
Extraordinary to her Serene Highness the late Landgravine
of Hesse Homberg, and may he had of all respectable Medi-
cine Venders, in boxes at ls. 11d., 2s. 9d., and is. 6d.

Richard I. had a cloak made at enormous cost, with pre-
cious and shining metals inlaid in imitation of the heavenly
bodies ; and Henry V. wore, on a very memorable occasion,
when Prince of Wales, a mantle or gown of rich blue satin,
full of small eyelet-holes, as thickly as they could be put,
and a needle hanging by a silk thread from every hole.

vEsuvius.—fdobelieve the crater of a volcano the most
fearfully grand of earthly sights. Yon recollect the lines
where Manfred, standini, on the edge of an Alpine precipice,
says—

" The mists boil up around the glaciers ; clouds
Rise curling fast beneath me, white and sulphury,
Like foam from the roused ocean of deep bell."
Splendid as these lines are, they embody .nothing but an
image ; it is only by an effort of the poet's genius that the
mountain mists, and all the stern and terrible scenery around,
are identified with the still more terrible conception of the
prison house of fallen spirits. But here, I may almost say,
we see the thing itself. The glimmering flames, the blasted
desolation all around, the " burning marle " beneath our
feet, and " torrid climes " smitinc, sorely upon us—all, even
to the dense sulphurous clouds and' smell of brimstone, are
here combined to stir the mind with vivid impressions of the
half-forgotten stories of our early days, and stimulate the
imagination into a sort of half-belief that hell lies open at our
feet. Reason, indeed, rejects the tale of a fiery dungeon,
and all the machinery of physical torture which credulous
ages have built on a few vague and allegorical expressions ;

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1840.

By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship,
Lieut. Hosken, R. N., we have received New York
papers to the 10th instant, inclusive. The Great
Western sailed from New York on the afternoon of the
10th, and arrived in Kingroad, Bristol, on the morning
of Saturday last, (the 24th,) having accomplished the
passage in 13 days and 15 hours. She brought 95
passengers, a very full number, considering the season
of the year.
The principal news from the United States relates to
the approaching Presidential election. According to
every probability Geocral Harrison will be elected to
that office. As a consequence of his election the es-
tablishment of a national bank is confidently predict-
ed. Our facetious friend of the Morning Herald also
enumerates the following as among the contingencies
which will depend upon the success of the General :
" The old United States Bank will never recover her
reputation—Mr. Webster or Mr. Clay will take the
succession—the country will pass through another pe-
riod of speculation—another crisis—another revul-
sion—and the science of political economy will be be-
nefited by these experiments on the currency and on
commerce. Probably in 1843 or 1844, the next grand
explosion may take place."
Mr. Webster was particularly active in his exertions
for the return of General Harrison. With this view,
he had been journeying from one town to another, and
delivering addresses to the " citizens," in which he set
forth, in glowing terms, the merits of the favourite
candidate. The Herald furnishes us with a flaming de-
scription of one of " the conventions of the people,"
at which these speeches were delivered, which was held
at Richmond.

The commercial intelligence from New York is ex-
tremely meagre. On the 9th instant there was an in-
creased demand of bills for the Great Western. The
quotations on England were S to 9 per cent. premium.
The amount of bills sold was not large. The packet
carried out 240,000 dollars in specie. In stocks there
was more business doing, though prices had generally
declined. United States Bank fell off '1- per cent. ;
North American Trust and Banking Company + per
cent.: Delaware and Hudson 4 per cent. ; Farmers'
Trust - per cent. ; Harlem / per cent. Money con-
tinued plentiful, and the value of most southern secu-
rities, as well as state stocks, was improving, under
the demand for investment.

There is little news of importance from Canada.
Several acts of incendiarism had been recently com-
mitted along the borders, but the New York papers
state that no suspicion rested on Americans as the
authors of the villanies, and that there was generally a
good understanding between the inhabitants on the
different sides of the line.

Chaplain A. Talcott, with a party of surveyors, had
left Canaan, Vermont, for the head-quarters of Con-
necticut river, for the purpose of tracing the sources
of the Magalloway river. The party were then to pro-
ceed along the dividing highlands to the Kennebec
road. Another party, under Professor Renwick, had
proceeded to the Restigouche bay, from whence they
were to trace the highlands, agreeably to the treaty, in
the direction of the Kennebec road. A third party,
under Major Graham, was employed in running the
meridian line for Mars' hill.

There is not much news from Mexico. Since th
receipt of previous advices no material change had
taken place in the aspect of affairs in the capital. The
government appeared to be mainly engaged in strength-
ening their position, drawing around them loyal troops,
and searching out and arresting persons known or
suspected to have been engaged in the late demonstra-
tion against the centralists_ The revolutionary spirit
appeared to be quieted for the present. The prevail-
ing calm, however, was considered as the prelude to
an approaching tempest. The name of Santa Anna
was not mentioned. His is not a spirit to remain in-
active in the tumult of revolution. The Texian fleet
was off the mouth of the river Bravo on the Ist of

September, but no attack had been made at any point.
Strong apprehensions were entertained at Matamoras
of a descent, either there, or at some other accessible
port. A letter; dated Matamoras, Sept. 1, says that
a detachment from Arista's army was on the opposite
side of the river on the previous night. This sudden
countermarch was owing to the expected attack of the
Texian forces by sea. Intelligence, to this effect, had
been immediately made known to the General by express.

We have received our files of the Jamaica papers to
the 3d. ultimo. They contain very little news of im-
portance. A society had been formed in the island,
for the purpose of co-operating with the West India
Immigration scciety, recently organised in England,
and the most beneficial results were likely to follow
from the operations of the Jamaica branch. The fol-
lowing extract from the Royal Gazette is the only
article for which we can find room in our present
publication :
THE SILK CO mPA NI Es.—The following is an extract
of a letter from Mr. Whitmarsh, to a house in this
city :
" From my examination of the South and South-
Western States, I prefer Jamaica for the culture of
silk ; and shall make diligent preparation to be with
you in the autumn. I have a steam engine in readi-
ness, with fixtures for a saw-mill, and shingle mill, and
other machinery to be set in motion in a few days after
their arrival. I shall leave with Mrs. Whitmarsh about
the Ist of September, for Kingston. The machinery
and families will be about six weeks later, and will sail
for St. Ann's It will be perceived that I have begun
at the foundation, and engaged several families of active,
steady, temperance whites, to commence what I intend
as a pattern village of industry, and to show what can
be done for this beautiful island, which needs but a
spirit of enterprise, to raise it far above its best days.
I will not promise too much, but endeavour, with your
co-operation, to carry out the plans, which I will make
known in detail when I shall have the pleasure of meet-
ing you in Kingston. I have white and black families
engaged, and shall have more to follow when I have all
things prepared for their reception. So great is my
faith in the full success of the enterprise, and of its
importance to the island, as well as the individuals
concerned, that I will very much enlarge upon my first
plans, without enlarging the capital. I might have
returned sooner, and made some stir about the matter,
but was well aware of what must be done to ensure
success. I shall leave nothing undone that all former
and present experience may suggest, and I doubt not
of ample success."

The foreign news since our last is of the highest im-
portance. The abdication of the Queen of Spain, in
consequence of the difficulties of her position, has been
fully confirmed. But the most important event that
has transpired has been the resignation of M. Thiers
and his ministry, and the consequent summoning, by
the King of the French, of the leading conservatives of
that country, to form a new administration. The Lon-
don Times of Saturday furnishes us with a list of the
members of the new ministry. If this list can be re-
lied upon, we have very little hesitation in saying that
the question of war or peace will be very speedily
solved, as the leading members of the new ministry are
known to entertain feelings of the most friendly nature
towards this country. It is said that the ministry will
comprise the following :—Marshal Soult, M. Guizot,
M. Duchatel, Admiral Duperre, M. Teste, M. Martin,
(du Nord,) M. Dufaure, M. Cunin Gridaine, M. Ville-
main, and M. Massy.
In the composition of the new ministry we find an
ample guarantee for the preservation of the peace of
Europe. This is a consummation which cannot but
prove highly acceptable to the mercantile interests of
Great Britain, whom we have every reason to congra-
tulate upon the change.
It is impossible to predict the effect which the resig-
nation of M. Thiers and his associates will produce
upon the French nation generally. Our volatile neigh-
bours are so much the slaves of impulse that it would
he highly imprudent to speculate upon the subject. Of
this, however, we feel certain, that the principal Euro-
pean governments, interested in the settlement of the
Eastern Question, will hail the downfall of M. Thiers
as the harbinger of peace.

The struggle for ascendancy in our municipal coun-
cil has commenced in right earnest. Candidates are
already engaged in an active canvass in each of the
wards. The radicals have, at length, found one for
West Derby ward, in the person of Mr. Laurence Hey-
worth, jun. While the preparations for the approach-
ing contest are going on, we would particularly urge
upon the attention of our conservative friends the
necessity of untiring vigilance and perseverance. Let
them ponder over the " word in season," which one Cf
our correspondents has thought it his duty to place
before them. Over-confidence will prove the most
fatal error into which the conservative electors can fall.
They ought not to give way to this feeling until they
have placed the conservative candidate in each ward in
such a position on the poll that his return will be a
matter of complete certainty.

Amongst the many cheering displays of Protestant
and Conservative feeling, of which our good old town
has lately been the universal scene, the proceedings of
Thursday last are worthy of, and we doubt not wil
occupy, a prominent position in the memory of the
present generation. A calm, a dignified and decorous
loyalty, a beneficent and christian spirit united in beau-
tiful propriety, with the fearless and uncompromising
expression of sound Protestant truth, were the charac-
teristics of that day's proceedings ; and when we look
around us and contrast with them the furious ravings
which distinguish the gatherings of whig-radicalism
in our own land—or the frenzied, restless and reckless
outbursts which attend every expression of popular
Opinion in other lands, we must confess that we are
proud both of the party and of the country to which
we belong. . _ _

It is not, however, merely the indulgence of this feel-
ing of just pride which induces us to recur to a subject
in itself so gratifying. The Protestant inhabitants of
Liverpool need no finger of ours to point to a page
which is destined to be so memorable in the history of
their town. Our object has a wider range and a higher
purpose. It is to excite and to fasten the attention,
not only of our fellow-townsmen, but of our fellow-
countrymen at large, upon the relative position of the
two great parties in the state—the Whig-radical and
conservative parties ;—and to enable them to deter-
mine in which of those parties the permanent interests,
the peace and the security of Great Britain centre at
the present crisis.

If we look abroad amongst the kingdoms of civilized
Europe, we cannot but be struck with the unsettled
and menacing picture which everywhere presents itself.
Russia, to the Eastward, intriguing, ambitious, and un-
principled, already counts as her own the dominions of
the Sultan ; and only waits her time to plant the eagle
upon the turrets of Constantinople. Her agents, subtle
and daring, are in every court and her gold is sapping
the foundations of every throne which has constitutional
liberty for its basis. Austria and Prussia,—sluggish
and inert—sleep upon a smouldering volcano ; whilst
the states of Germany, with Hanover and Belgium are
ready to crumble in pieces at the sound of the first
cannon which breaks their present uneasy and deceit-
ful repose. In western Europe, Spain and Portugal
are in a state of frightful and bloody anarchy, alter-
nately the prey of their revolutionary and absolutist
factions. 'I In both these wretched lands, a licentious
soldiery, bloated with plunder, hold in their ruffian
hands the sway of Government and the lives of their
feeble monarchs; whilst an equally licentious priest-
hood fills up with its extortions the full measure of
suffering meted out for their outcast and degraded
population. In the centre of all this mass, of combus-
tion,—through which popery is busily laying the train
whose explosion is to light her, amidst ruin and desol-
ation, to a renewal of the empire,—the restless spirit of
infidel France, crushed and bruised but not extinguish-
ed, is struggling still with the dream of rapine and
universal conquest which during the close of the last
and the beginning of the present centuries brought
down upon her so bloody and so fearful a—retribution.
The fierce passions of her democracy are daily lashing
themselves into more dangerous excitement ; their
wild longing for blood,—unappeased by the oceans
which were shed in the fields of Portugal and Spain,
of Quatre Bras and Waterloo,—is equalled only by the
deep and demoniac hatred with which they regard the
hands by which those longings were for a time subdued.
War—war—at any price and in any cause is the cry
of millions of her wild and savage populace—of her
republican and unprincipled politicians. War with
Europe, with all the world ; but, first and last,—and
above all—War with Great Britain !

Such is the picture,—when stript of the disguises so

eagerly sought to be thrown ever it,—which the prezent
aspect of Europe presents to our contemplation. We
may be flattered by the hope that its horrors will not
at present be realized. We may be told that the
government of France has no sympathy with this
hatred of England—that the educated classes in France
have no sympathy with this impatience of settled insti-
tutions. But we must maintain that the government
of France is a thread which the occurrence of an hour
may snap asunder ; that the educated classes of France
can no more restrain their democracy, than a rope of
flax can bind up and hold together a burning mass.
Nay, so precarious is the tenure by which the peace of
Europe is even now maintained,--so far at least, as it
depends upon France,—that, at the moment in which
we write, we know not that that tenure may not already
be broken, and republican institutions erected in that
country, by the sacrifice and upon the blood of the
Bourbon dynasty.
To what party then, must the eyes not only of Great
Britain, but of the whole civilized world, be turned for
succour at such a crisis ? Upon whom must we call
to stay the fierce torrent of democracy which threatens
to deluge with blood and to desolate Europe ? To the
whip•radical party shall we turn—whose right arm is
infidelity and whose left arm is popery ? Shall we call
upon those who are seeking daily to engraft a bigoted
and ignorant democracy upon the constitution of Great
Britain—who are labouring daily to destroy the key-
stone of that constitution, our Protestant church—who
are striving daily to promote the spread of education
without religion, and science without christianity—
those elements which constitute republican society in
France and throughout Europe ? To do this would
be to prove ourselves fools and madmen. We have a
nobler stay and a higher refuge. Yes—it is a proud
thing for Englishmen that in their hour of need—when
universal anarchy tramples upon the rest of Europe,
prostrates her thrones, and outrages her altars—they
have still a power within their own land upon which to
fall back and to repose their trust—a source of pure,
conservative, Protestant strength which has never yet
failed them, and whilst the entireness of their glorious
constitution is preserved, in church and state, never
will fail them.

To such a party and to such a source of strength it
is that England will look in the hour of danger ; and
by such a party alone can that danger be driven from
her shores. We seek not again to embark as comba-
tants upon the battle field of Europe. We know that
at the present moment the regards of the wise and the
good are directed towards that party; and that every
movement of conservative Protestantism in England is
the source of hope and confidence to our patriotic fel-
low-countrymen and of dismay to the enemies of or-
der and peace throughout the world. We know that
the proceedings of last week have already cheered and
inspirited thousands of loyal British hearts; and,
knowing all this, we call earnestly upon our townsmen
to go on and persevere in their noble demonstrations.
To one object, however, we feel that it is becoming
daily more important that the efforts of Protestantism
should be directed. We have already a Protestant
nobility; we have already a Protestant gentry and a
Protestant yeomanry; and we are rapidly creating that
strongest of all bulwarks, a Protestant democracy.
Let our next effort be to surround the throne of our
gracious Sovereign and the noble institutions of our
country with a sound Protestant government. The
time has now come when, on this subject, the Protes-
tant conservatives of Great Britain must speak out
boldly and loudly; and the time has come too when
their voice must and will be heard.

The Albion of yesterday publishes a grossly inaccu-
rate statement of the result of the revision of voters on
the parliamentary list far this borough, giving, as might
be expected, a decided majority to the radicals, both on
the claims and on the objections. The following may
be relied upon as an accurate return :
Conservative objections made 1740
Ditto sustained..
Withdrawn and allowed

1740
Radical objections made
Ditto sustained
Withdrawn and allowed . 867

- 1601

From this statement it will appear that the conserva-
tives have gained by the revision to the extent of 95
votes. The good cause is steadily progressing, in spite
of all the machinations of the Protector Society.

We have received our files of the Guiana Times and
of the Guiana Chronicle to the 21st of August, inclu-
sive. The former of these papers gives a very gloomy
description of the condition of the colony, which was
in a state of uneasiness and anxiety. The season was
amazingly favourable, and immigrants were dropping
in from the adjacent islands ; but the number was very
limited. It was considered suttrising that from North
America there was no account, either of immigrants,
or of the money sent thither for the purpose of pro-
curing labourers.

All public business is described by the Times as be-
ing suspended. There were no taxes coming into the
chest, and the erection of hospitals for the town, with
other works of utility, was retarded by the repeated ad-
journments of the Court of Policy. We extract the
following from the Guiana Chronicle :

" We understand that Mr. Ries has returned from his ex-
cursion to Essequebo, and is highly pleased with his experi-
mental trip. He has fixed on Cartabo as a site for the town
of his new settlement. We must inform the enterprising
Mr. Ries, that a town on this site is not a new thing, for a
very considerable Spanish town stood on the same spot two
centuries ago. However, we wish Mr. Ries every success,
and express a hope that he may find that encouragement and
support in his undertaking, which will render his project
successful. So far as we recollect, from a very short sojourn
on the spot, the site for the settlement is very judiciously
chosen, it being a prominent spot, commanding a view of the
rivers Essequebo, Massarony, and Cayooney."
