THIS Railway, which is one othose comprised under
the law of the 11th June, 1842,.
has the great advan-
tage of being brought before the Public after the law au-
thorizing the French Government to construct it, and
also to grant it to a public Company on leasejor working,
has passed both the French Chambers. The Minister or
Public Works is required to grant the lease within two
months from the passing of th e law, and, under all these
favourable circumstances,

ence neither the disappointment nor the delay which has
40frequently attended similar undertakings.

TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE LIVERPOOL
DISPENSARIES.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
AVACANCY having occurred in the NORTHERN
DISPENSARY, by the decease of Mr. Tetlow, late
one of the Honorary Surgeons of that Institution, I beg
to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for that Situation.
Having been for eight years a Student of St. George's
Hospital, and during the last year of that period Resident
House Surgeon to that Institution, I have had great op-
portunities of studying and treating Disease.
In conclusion, I can only assure yon that should I be
thought worthy of your support on the present occasion,
it shall be the highest object of my ambition to prove my-
self deserving of the confidence reposed in me.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
E. DICKINSON.

TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE NORTHERN
DISPENSARY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
T BEG to announce myself a CANDIDATE for the
I Office of HONORARY SURGEON to the
NORTHERN DISPENSARY, now vacant by the de-
cease of Mr. Tetlow ; and should vou do me the honour
to elect me as his successor, the duties devolving upon
that office shall be zealously and faithfully discharged.
I trust, in consideration of my numerous professional
engagements, you will kindly excuse the formality of a
personal canvass.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant.

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.
PRESIDENT—Lord ASHLEY.
SECRETARY:

Rev. E. F. CHAMPNEYS, Falcon court, Fleet-street,
London.
RANKERS:
WILLIAMS, DEACON, and Co., Birchin-lane.
TREASURER FUR LIVERPOOL:
A. W. POW LES, Esq., 4, Water-street.
AT the Monthly General Committee, en Thursday, the
Bth instant, 19 grants were renewed and 8 fresh ones
made, 3 of the latter being to the Diocese of Chester.
The aggregate population in charge of the 8 Incumbents
thus aided, is 59,727 the amount of the new grants,
£7lO ; the average income of the Incumbents, £l5O each.
There are still 26 applications before the Committee,
most of them of a painfully urgent character, but which
cannot be relieved for want of funds, the income of the
Society being scarcely sufficient to maintain its existing
grants. These at present provide stipends for 230
Clergymen and 30 Scripture Readers. The Incumbents
aided by the Society have an aggregate charge of about
two million souls, or each on an average 8,475 ; while the
average amount of their incomes is only £172 each per
annum, and 127 of them are without parsonage houses.
Twenty-four of the Society's grants are towards the
maintenance of Clergymen for Churches without endow-
ment, or sufficient means for the support of a resident
Clergyman. These have been found most beneficial in
preventing the frequent change of Ministers, which too
often acts so prejudicially to the success of the pastoral
work in poor districts.

In addition to the direct operations of this Society
upon the large population above stated, it has been the
first to call public attention to the actual state of such
populations, and showing, by the results of its own la-
bours, the most effectual means for their amelioration,
has thus led to the institution of a similar Society in this
country, of one in Ireland, and another in India, while
the example has been followed on the Continent of Eu-
rope, by the evangelical Christians of Prussia.
The mere statement of these facts, it is hoped, will
be sufficient to stimulate the friends of pure religion and
of the public good to increased exertions and contribu-
tions on the Society's behalf, so as to enable it to main-
tain its present grants, and, if possible, to relieve some
of the pressing cases now urged upon the attention of the
Committee.

The Society is supported by ten of the Bishops best
acquainted with its operations (including the Bishop of
this diocese), and by upwards of two thousaad of the
most laborious of the Clergy.
The grants to the Diocese of Chester are for 74 addi-
tional Clergymen and 7 Scripture Readers, to the annual
amount of £6,740. Of these, 11 are to the town and im-
mediate neighbourhood of Liverpool, viz., 10 for Clergy-
men and 1 for a Scripture Reader, amounting to £930
annually.

Fr AND H. SMITH'S FLUID EXTRACT OF
I • SENNA, prepared in Vacuo, sold in Bottles at
2s. 6d., 55., and 10s. each.
This is a pure Extract of Senna, in a high state of
perfection, prepared in Vacuo. It is an efficient and
easy purgative, in small doses ; these for adults even
seldom exceeding one or two teaspoonfulls, and produces
no sickness or griping in its operation. Not only are the
nauseous taste and smell corrected, but the taste is ren-
dered positively agreeable and inviting ; consequently,
with this preparation, the difficulty attending the giving
of Senna to children is entirely removed. Instead of the
loathing which the bulky dose of the ordinary Senna Tea
produces, the Fluid Extract of Senna is taken by them
with the greatest readiness, and even with a relish.
The following complimentary testimonial has bee vo-
luntarily published by Dr. Christison, the distinguished
Professor of illateria Medica in the Edinburgh University :
•"1' he Fluid Extract of Senna is now used very largely
in this city, (Edinburgh.) and by many medical practi-
tioners, as well as myself, almost to the exclusion of every
other preparation. I have no doubt it is the best form, in
every respect, which has yet been proposed."
Observe, the actual signature of the Inventors, on an
engraved label, is attached to the wrapper on each Bottle.
Prepared only by T. and H. Satires, Chemists 21,
Duke-street, Edinburgh; and sold Wholesale by JOHN
CLERK, 30, Mersey-street, Liverpool ; BARCLAY and
SoNs, Farringdon-street, London ; and may be had retail
of all respectable Druggists, by asking for
