SERJEANT'S LOTION, the only effectual Remedy
1,3 against Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout Sciatica, and Lum-
bago. Sold by the Proprietor, G. C. SERJ'EANT, No. 7, Lo-

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever -wining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.

This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable
Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing
Rhemnatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.

Amongst many which are being daily received are thefollovi-
mg testimonials :-
14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 2G, 1844.
n, —I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.
Well-street, cripplegate.
Sin,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me.
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,— D. W. STONE.

31orlev's Hotel,Strand,lBth August, 1846.

SIR,—I have hitherto. had a prejudice against hai'ing recourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt
,the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its
novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rom min. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours,
HENRI VI LLENNEVE.

THE GENUINE AND POPULAR MEDICINE.

PATRONISED BY THE QUEEN.

HE high and universal celebrity which ATKIN-
SON'S ROYAL INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE continues
to maintain, as a safe and agreeable medicine, renowned fur its
efficacy in preventing or removing the disorders to which in-
fancy is liable, affording instant relief in convulsions, flatulency,
affections of the bowels, difficult teething, the thrush, rickets,
measles, hooping-cough, cowpox, or vaccine inoculation, and
may be given with safety immediately after birth. It is no
misnomer cordial !—no stupefactive, deadly narcotic I—but a
veritable preservative of infants ! Mothers would do well in
always keeping it in the nursery. Many thousands of children
are annually saved by this much-esteemed medicine, which is
an immediate remedy, and the infants rather like it than other-
wise. In short, whether this medicine enters the palace or the
cottage, the proprietor feels an honest conviction of its power
to assuaee maternal pain for infant suffering—to convert that
pain into gladness, that suffering into balmy repose. It is
equally efficacious for children or adults, in English cholera,
spasms, pain into the bowels, and other complaints of the. in-
testines owing to wind or obstructions in the digestive organs.
It is highlyi recommended by the faculty.

AMERICA.

The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Judkins,
arrived here on Sunday at noon from Boston, having made
the run from that port in less than eleven days, including
the stoppage at Halifax. She left Boston on the 28th ult.,
and has brought £3,000 in specie and 100 passengers.
The Britannia arrived at New York on the 26th ult., and
the Cambria was passed on the 20th, midway between
Halifax and Boston.

The approachin,, presidential election continued to
excite increasing interest.
Herrera has been elected president of Mexico.
Yucatan is still in a deplorable condition.
In consequence of the disturbed state of things at
Hayti, all the coloured population were einigratinz; and
the business of Port-au-Prince was expected to fall into
the hands of foreigners. The negroes are reported to
have had abloody fight nearJacmel, in which about 200 men
and children were killed. Their blood was drunk by the
maddened wretches who slew them. _ _

Cotton holders continue to ask former rates, but buyers
are holding off in anticipation of a decline.
The flour market continues in a dull state, the supply
being more than equal to the demand. The reports of
the growing crops continue favourable.
There is no domestic news of any importance.
The New York Courier states that it has received
positive information that the Treaty is not only ratified
and the ratifications exchanged, but that several detach-
ments of our army returning from Mexico have already
reached the United States.

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—ThiS delightful place of
amusement continues, from judicious management and
liberal expenditure in catering for the public, to become
every week, as the season advances, more and more at-
tractive. The proprietors have re-engaged Madame War-
ton, for the present week, and that distinguished artiste,
in addition to the fashionable morning performances, will
appear on the evenings of this day, Tueeday, to-morrow,
Wednesday, and on Friday, and represent, for the first
time in Liverpool, Lady Godica, the Maid of Orleans, and
Sappho, all of which have been pronounced by thousands
to be inimitable personations—full of elegance, verisimili-
tude, and classical taste. The programme of the per-
formances is highly interesting. We may add that the
fac-simile of Shakespeare's house, erected on the grounds,
continues to be inspected with increased interest and gra-
titleation ; and the immense modelled view of the Bay
and City of New York, lighted by electricity, is another
object of wonder and admiration.
NEW PEA N FOR CONSUMING, OR PREVENTING SMOKE
IN STEAM-ENGINE FURNACES.—WC yesterday visited
the cooperage of Mr. James Robertson, No. 113, Great-
Howard-street, and inspected the operation of a new plan
or apparatus of his invention for the prevention of smoke
from steam-boiler flues. Several scientific gentlemen
were present, and expressed themsely: s highly gratified by
the success of the experiments, which, after what we
have recently heard from various parties owning steam-
works, impress us with surprise, and inspired us with a
hope hat though former attempts have proved more. or
less futile, the grand desideratum may yet be attained—to
the great comfort and advantage of the inhabitants of the
manufacturing districts. The manner in which Mr. Ro-
bertson's apparatus is constructed and applied we are of
course ignorant of, as lie wisely retains his secret until he
can secure himself as the inventor but thus far we may
say, that the furnace head, a large, long, cylindrical boiler,
has only a short chimney attached ; and that repeated
shovelfuls of coal or slack, put on the fire at a time, pro-
duced little or no perceptible smoke from the top •, the
whole of the substance of matter that would form dense
smoke being dissipated in thin vapour or gasses, or rather
hot hair, which scarcely at all, even in the first instance,
discolour or thicken the atmosphere. The inventor and
those present were of opinion too that the draught of the
flue was greatly improved, and that fully the same
quantity of steam could be kept up by the same quantity
of fuel. The steamer in the boiler was, without extra ex-
ertion, kept up to an almost dangerous degree. The ap-
paratus is, we learn, quite simple and of little cost. Mr.
Robertson has been advised by practical men, who have
seen the operation of the plan, to bring it under the notice
of the magistrates, the Town Council, and other parties
interested ; and, assuredly, tke advantages which it pro-
mises, entitle it to the serious consideration of all who va-
lue health end comfort in towns or places where steam-
engines or furnaces are employed.
A single piece of china, before it is finished, employs
forty bands, from the man who pounds the flint to the
designer and colourer.
A COMMON DISAPPOINTMENT.—" Large constituen-
cies," pathetically observed Mr. Brotherton, " always
expected their members to say something." And how
very often do they speak, and yet, like Juliet, " say
nothing !" There is a great reform to be worked in the
Commons. We want more work and less talk. Abuses
are not to be put down with the like weapon to that with
which Samson put down the Philistines. Is there no
city—no large constituency sufficiently courageous, in
order to show its proper value of taciturnity—is there no
electoral body bold enough 4o send for its member to
parliament—a dumb man ?—Punch
ANECDOTES OP ACTORS.—BiIIy Simpson never would
take any medicine; and his medical man was often obliged
to resort to stratagem to impose a dose upon him. There
is a piece—l do not recollect the name—in which the hero
is sentenced in prison to drink a cup of poison. Billy
Simpson was playing this character one night, and had
given directions to have it filled with port wine; but what
was his horror, when he came to drink it, to find that it •
contained a dose of senna ! He could not throw it away,
as he had to hold the goblet upside down, to show his
persecutors that he had drained every drop of it. Simpson
drunk the medicine with the slowness cf apoisoned martyr;
but he never forgave his medical man this trick, as was
fully proved at his death, for he died without paying his
bill.—Changefor a Shilling.
DERIVATIONS AND USES OF THE ELECTRIC TELE-
GRAPH.—A remarkably ingenious etymologist has pro-
posed a derivation for the name of the useful apparatus in
question ; which, though plausible, we do not wish to be
understood wholly and unreservedly to sanction. He
supposes, that in consequence of the comparatively short,
and consequently, in a manner, surly answers given by
means of the apparatus to
_questions asked, that it was'
first called—" I like to tell 'ee gruff," of which electric
telegraph is a recent corruption. Giving all credit to the
learned gentleman for his ingenuity, we have our doubts
as to the soundness of his doctrine, which, however, we
feel bound to submit to the judgment of our readers.
Certain errors as to the nature and functions of the
electric telegraph exist, we understand, in the remote and
rural districts of this realm, which we are happy, by the
present publication, to be enabled to dispel. We have,
then to all curious inquirers to say, that it is a popular delu-
sion to suppose that luggage can be forwarded by telegraph.
As absurd is it to climb up one of the poles, put your ear
to the wires, and try to catch the intelligence which may
be in the course of being transmitted. Neither will any
effect be produced by acting like the old lady in Devon-
shire, who, after rapping at one of the posts with her
umbrella, as if to inquire whether the electric fluid were
at home, shouted out the message which she intended
should be conveyed along the wires. Other absurd myths
—relating, however, to the outward and physical ap-
pearance of the telegraph—have from time to time ati:sen,
in primitive, turnip-growing districts, when the wires
were seen for the first time stretching along by embank-
ment and cutting. A strong feeling pervaded one dietrict
for some months that the railway company had established
an extensive laundry somewhere on the line, and that the
poles and wires formed part of the apparatus for drying
the shareholders' shirts. The telegraph was in use for
some time in the county in question before the public
mind had been disabused, and conceived a truthful im-
pression of the nature of the instrument. —The comic
