UNDER THE SANCTION OF"IsHE MAGISTRATES.
§ll-1E undersigned PAWNBROKERS of Liverpool,
front a desire to act in accordance with the improved
spirit of the times, adopted at a Meeting, held on Thursday,
the 15th instaut, the Resolutions annexed to this paragraph.
Contemplating all salutary changes, whether to 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 developemeut of the mental faculty—con-
sidering this last to be one grand meats of shielding the heat t
against the contamination of vice : fur 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 condthst being
duly appreciated by the wise and good. To close as mas 7. of
the avenues to vice as are practicable is another duty which
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 more ditliculq and
the chances of detection multiplied. It is to be lamented,
that,relief while the Pawnbrokers' Establishments, in affolding
to the necessitous, they are too frequently made the
receptacles of stolen property. That such is the case is be.
youd all question, anti while the circumstance cannot be too
much deplored, the Pawubroker is often made the victim
of unmerited odium, as though he were a party to the con-
cealment of such property. The Pawubrekers, 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 pub-
lic 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 the delinquencies of a
few ? for, however inquisitorial, however cautious the Pawn-
broker tray be, be is liable to he deceived, and, unless it
could be proved, that the Pawnbrokers,' generally, betray a
want of caution ou Strangers presenting themselves at their
Couplets, the obloquy heaped upon them, and the. prejudice
existing against them, are as they are malignant and unjust.
Resolved,—That the undersigned, Pawnbrokers of Liver-
poid, from a desire to check the facility now afforded to
thieves by the present hours of ttansacting business, agree to
Close their Shops at Seven o'clock in the Evening, front the
29th September until the 25th of March, and at Eight in the
Evening from the 25th March Bold the 29th September.
Rese:red, —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.
llesolued,—That the remarks read, and the resolutions
adopted by the General Meeting, be published once in each
of the Liverpool newspapers, with the names of all those fa-
vourable to the Resolutions adopted by the General Meeting.

ILII3II.OFESSOR SWEDOUII'S HYGEIAN HERB
PILLS, fur the effectual extirpation of every species
and symptom of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the
disorders arising from itnprcper treatment.
Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at
No. 42, SEEL.STItEET LIVERP4dOL.

REET, LIVER"Pf.
In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. Gd.
arranted nut to contain COPAIBA, BIBS, or any
deleterious ingredient
*,,,* With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal
and Syphilitic Diseases; vith observations on seminal weak,
ness &c. &c.. containing hints worth knowing by those who
are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating
malady.

Dr. DAYIESON continues to direct his attention to these
disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in-
dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer-
ous tiaiu of, nervous Affections, but also entails on its votaries
all the enervating imbecilities of if age. In that distressing
state of debility and deficiency, whrtlterthe'conse(Wnce of
baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by
which the powers of the ,on,tit Winn 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
stitotion. When the great 'Doctor Swedour became Pro-
fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be-
nefit upon mankind by the lisciivery 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 undeviatiug success in the most
minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint. for the
yore of which they have been RO long celebreted. The lame
of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in-
trodueliou into almost every country. The certainly with
which they were continually administered can be attested by
many thousands. lu fact, during the long continental war
they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the
soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection
was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate
than that which hits given such general satisfaction ? The
1i yusian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in their progress the whole mass d fluids. They
not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action
the different futictions of the body expelling the grosser hu-
:metre, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to
convince the mast. sceptical of their astonishing and un-
equalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other
mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion
of diseovery—they require ne restraint of diet, loss of time,
or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, without
the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the
slightest suspicion mat' exist, it will he well to have recourse
to the liygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease
has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by
moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor-
able state in which many persons have beets when. visiting
the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it impera-
tively necessary to cAntion 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
voing a long voyage or journey. •heir 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 Eiaht
its tlle morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nine
till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any
ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEE.
