COUGH AND ASTHMATICAL DROPS,

FOR COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, CONSUMP-
TIONS, Brc.
T
invaluable Medicine immediately relieves Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and
Huskiness in the Throat.
These Drops are also the best preventative that can be
taken against SPITTING OF BLOOD, and AFFECTION OF
THE LUNGS. Persons troubled with ASTHMA are consi-
derably relieved by taking a few doses of the Drops, as
they tend to promdfe expectoration and remove viscid
phlegm. For the speedy cure of the HOOFING COUGH,
they are no less efficacious. Those who are troubled with
that unpleasant tickling inthe Throat which deprives them
of rest night after night, by the incessant Cough which it
provokes, will, by taking one dose, find immediate relief,
and one bottle, in most cases, will effect a cure.
Sold only at 52, Lord-street, Liverpool, in Bottles, at

SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore,
who, from various causes, would experience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to
prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract,
which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping
in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of
employing this much-esteemed Medicine.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Erup-
tive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a
diseased state of the system at large. For removing
Blotches, Pimples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has
no superior.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combine scientific skill with great accuracy ;
and though numbers of people unacquainted with the
business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious
compounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor
the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Pow-
ders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin
Cases.

VEGETABLE HAIR OIL,
Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating

peculiar softness of texture and luxuriant appearance.
Sold in Bottles at Is. 3d. and 3s. each.

This is a limpid VEGETABLE OIL, consolidated by a

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have received from Birkenhead, anonymously, ael for the
relief of the distressed party who appealed in our columns for
relief.
• - •

The receipt of a great number of advertisements late last night
has prevented the insertion of a quantity of m4tter which
would otherw se have appeared in our columns to-day.
A reply to the question of " Fact" appeared in a London paper
of Saturday. It is true that the landing of the Prince of
Orange is noted in the Almanacks for November 4th, but
Bishop Burnet (who was with the King. and could not well be,
mistaken) states that the landing took place on the sth, that
eminent author writing' as follows (Own Times," Vol. I, p.
787) :—" On November 3, we passed between Dover and Ca-
lais, and before night came in sight of th': Isle of Wight. The
next day being the day on which the Prince was both born
and married, he fancied, if he could land that day, it would
look auspicious to the army and animate the soldiers. But
we all, who considered that the day following being gunpow-
der-treason day, our landiny that day might have a good
effect on the minds of the English nation, were better pleased
to see that we could land no sooner." The date is correctly
noted in the Prayer Book.

STABBING.

Jame: Pye, aged 45, was charged with stabbing Samuel
Jones, at Sankey, near Warrington, on the 22d Septem-
ber last, with intent to maim, wound, or do some bodily
harm.—Mr. Monk was counsel for the prosecution, and
Mr. James for the prisoner.—It appeared that the wife
of the prosecutor had left his house and was living with
the prisoner, at Sankey Bridges, near Warrington, taking
with her two children whom she had by the prosecutor.
One of these the prosecutor bad apprenticed : and having
obtained a situation for the other, he went on the evening
of the 22d September for the purpose of taking his child
away. When he reached the door, the prisoner made an
attack upon him, and stabbed him in several places about
the head and neck. The learned judge having summed
up, the jury found the prisoner guilty of a common as-
sault only. Sentence, one month's imprisonment.

cipal was applied for, it turned out that the note had
never been signed by either the Rymmers or Clarkson.
The prisoner was convicted, but not sentenced.

ticularly well adapted for. Out-door Lights, such as Rail-
way Lines, Streets, Piers, Stables, Coal Yards, &c.,
where Gas cannot be procured at .a low rate, the light
being equally as cheap and brilliant.

THESE STOVES have now been several years before
the Public, and given general satisfaction, as is at-
tested by the numerous places where they have been
adopted.
Its peculiarity over all others tithat of diffusing an equal
temperature even to the repo-test part of the room, how-
ever large, without the eessity of its being placed in the
centre. This is effec by means of an Apparatus called

a Radiator, whic„4 eing connected to the Furnace by
means of a flue only, never becomes overheated, conse-
quently the purity of the air is not injured. The cost of
Fuel is very trifling, Anthracite Coal being decidedly the
best and cheapest, a stock of which is kept constantly on

RARE AND BEAUTIFUL LAMP NOVELTY.
JOSEPH ROBERTS, 8, CHURCH-STREET, has just
received an Assortment of CAMPHINE LAMPS,
of very beautiful Verde Antique• and Black and Gold
Marble Pillars, of various colours. He hastens to invite
his Friends and the Public to an early inspection of them,
being the first introduced in Liverpool.
The CAMPHINE LAMP produces a light surpassing
in brilliancy any that h3lyet been brought before the
Public, and is superior,to any kind of lamp for simplicity
of construction andpreanliness, being perfectly free from
smell or smoke, alad at the cost of One Penny for Three
Hours. The principle may be applied to old lamps.

COLUMBIA RIVER FUR COMPANY.

EUROPEAN BRANCH, 72, BOLD-STREET.

DEPOT, FORT VANCOUVER, OREGON OR COLUMBIA
RIVER, NORTH AMERICA.
THE Managers of this Company beg most respectfully
to tender to the Public their grateful thanks for the
unqualified patronage they have received since opening
this Establishment, and, in calling attention to their
PRESENT IMMENSE STOCK OF FURS,

which comprises every variety for which this River, one
of the greatest in America, is so justly celebrated, trust
that their future exertions may meet the same liberal
reward past energies have secured.
The mere title of the " Columbia Fur Company"
carries with it no more weight than that of any other
company; but the immense resources of this gigantic
stream, the length of which is 1560 miles, connecting by
its own waters, or immediate branches, the vast districts
of Austria, Colo, Canoe Camp, the Rocky Mountains,
Flat Brow, Chippeway, Pembunco, and the principle Fur
climates, as well as the Lakes, and the ready transit for
skins procured by the inhabitants, who, as well as the
native India tribes, principally gain their subsistence by
capturing fur-producing animals, enables this Company
to offer

G. EVANS,

n EGS respectfully to invite universal attention to his
II unrivalled M E LAIN A BA PH E, or LIQUID
HAIR-DYE, which, in a few moments, changes Gray
Hair to a beautiful Black. Unwilling to lower the value
of this unequalled preparation by having recourse to the
puffing system, G. E. begs but a trial of this incomparable
Dye, which, he is confident, will be found to equal, if not
excel, any of its competitors. Amongst the delicious
novelties of his Laboratory, he can recommend The
Restorative Balsam for weak Hair, which, if once used,
must retain the first position at the Toilet in preference
to the numerous grosser compounds of the present day.
He is also happy in being enabled to offer his choice and
fragrant perfumes, The New Essence of Verbena, and
The Prince Alfred's Nursery Boquet.

BRILLIANCY AND ECONOMY IN LIGHT.

THE PURE VESTA SPIRIT, FOR THE VESTA,
PARAGON, AND OTHER LIMPS ;

MANUFACTURED BY JOHN TALL AND CO..

6, NORTH WALLS, HULL.
VERY
great improvements having been effected in this
VV Rectified Spirit, it can with confidence be recom-
mended as possessing qualities decidedly superior to any
manufactured. It combines the advantages of cleanliness
and economy, with perfect freedom from smoke or smell ;
and, whilst it imparts a'most brilliant light, one lamp
being equal to at least twelve wax candles, the wick does
not require to be cut more than once a week.

The following statement of the analysis of Dr. Ure
affords a complete verification of its excellent properties :
Report of an experimental examination of the Vesta
Lamp Spirits, as Manufactured by Messrs. John Tall
end Co., of Hull ; by ANDREW URE, M.D.,
F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry.
" London, 13, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square,
19th September, 1844.
. .

" These Spirits are the lightest and purest which I have
ever met with in commerce ; having a specific gravity of
only 0.865 at 629 Fahr., whereas the Spirits of the London
shops have a specific gravity of 0.874 or more; that of
water being 1000.
" The comparative lightness of the Spirits indicate their
fine quality. Messrs. Tail's Spirits when distilled have
no residuum, whereas the Spirits generally on Sale leave a
quantity of Rosin. In consequence of the freedom of
Messrs. Tall's Spirits from this and other impurities I
have lighted• my drawing-rooms with their flame during
several hours for five evenings successively, without hav-
ing the wick of the lamp trimmed, and without its occa-
sioning the slightest nuisance.
" ANDREW URE."
The three principal Depots for Messrs. JOHN TALL
and COMPANY'S VESTA SPIRIT are

6, North Walls, Hull ;
140, Suffolk-street, Birmingham ;
103,Hatton-garden, Holborn, London.

J. T. and Co. having observed that other Houses are
using Betts' Patent Capsule, beg to state they have made
arrangements with Mr. Betts for a Capsule bearing their
Address, (Join TALL and Co., HULL,) which will be
applied to every separate Package, to insure the genuine-
ness of their Improved Vesta Spirit.

IRELAND.

The Hon. G. Hely Hutchinson is the repeal candidate
for Tipperary, vacant by Mr. Otway Cave's death.
THE WEATHER IN DUBLIN.—On Thursday night it
blew a terrific gale of wind from the south-east, accom-
panied by a heavy fall of snow. Next day the tempest
moderated, but it continued snowing with little cessation.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The rent for the week
amounted to £333. O'Connell made an unusually long
speech. A communication from Galway stated that fever
was very prevalent in that town, which, the writer said,
would not be the case if the Union were repealed
REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.—It is a melancholy Co-
incidence that Mr. Tupper, one of the medical advisers of
the recently-deceased Earl of Limerick, who had arrived
at South-hill, a few days previously, to remain for his
customary period of attendance, was found dead in his
bed on the morning after the decease of his noble patient.
Mr. Tupper had been for upwarcis of 40 years one of the
medical attendants of Lord Limerick.

REPEAL BANQUET.—The feed at Waterford, the last
for the season, took place on Wedpesday. It was given
in the Town-hall. About four hugdred sat down to din-
ner, Mr. T. Meagher, Mayor of the city, presiding. The
usual toasts having been proposed, Mr. O'Connell made
the speech of the night. Its most remarkable features were
his declaration that he had resigned his intention of a
pilgrimage for justice to England, and that all the Liberal
members who did not become Repealers should be ejected
from their seats without mercy. They might repent at
leisure then.

REPEAL-6TIEET.—" Repeal-street"—no less ! Aye,
there it is in black and white, upon a board, twenty-four
inches by eighteen, which is secured by holdfasts as bind-
ing as the union, to a corner house in the most ancient
and most Irish town of Loughrea. And truly if that street
has been chosen for the name as a palpable and speaking
type of good things to come, truly repeal—when we get it
—will be no great acquisition. For a dirtier street, a more
irregular street, a more crooked street, a street leading
directly or indirectly to a suburb of more wretched hovels,
or more ragged inhabitants—God bless the landlord !
the universal bills of mortality surely cannot comprehend.
