Messrs.

MHIS Compan as been formed to establish a Line
of Steam-si ' s, propelled by the Screw, between the
Port of Livery and the principal places of trade in South
America.

The impOftance and extent of our trade with Brazil and the
River Plate, and the necessity which exists for a more perfect
Pristal Communication with these countries, mainly suggested
this entei prize ; and, accordingly, the first efforts of this Com-
pany will be devoted not only to supply the desideratum of a
Bi-monthly Mail, but to afford to Shippers of Goods a cheap
conveyance, which the acceleration of the Mails over the old
system of sailing packets renders most desirable.
Three Steam Ships, of from 17500 to 1,700 tons, and about
300 horse power, will, in the ffrsttiistance, be built for the Rio

principles,' and, with the ample power proposed, it rsvc.O;44
fidently anticipated that an average speed of at least 10 knots
per hour will be attained, so as to reach Rio in 25 days.
The departures from each end will be monthly, and the
Boats will call at Lisbon for Passengers and Fuel.

The Company is well supported by the principal Merchants
and Shippers in the Trade, to whom, and other Capitalists, a
considerable portion of the Shares are allotted. The remainder
are offered to the l'ublic. A Deposit of per Share to be
paid on allotment, and the remainder by such instalments as
the Directors may consider desirable.
A Royal charter of Incorporation has been granted by her
Majesty, which limits the responsibility of Shareholders to
the amount of their Subscriptions.

Careful estimates of Receipts and Expenditure have been
prepared, which, with Prospectuses can be had on application
at the Company's Offices, or at the Offices of the Solicitors.
The encouragement they afford to the profitable and safe in-
vestment of capital is such as few modern enterprises can
exceed.

WHOLESALE DEPOT, 18, SCHOOL-LANE, LIVERPOOL!" every other affection of the system, are more or less dependent
on impurity of the blood, arising from imprudence or other-
wise. These Pills consist of a combination of medicines, which
act more particularly upon the stomach, blood vessels, and
kidneys, as their name Renal (or the kidneys) indicates, and
through them establish the regular action of the organs, thus
striking at once at the root of the complaint, and purifying the
system. It is a well-known fact that diseases of the skin, &c.,
may be temporarily relieved, and apparently cured, by outward
and violent applications,. &c., but the virus remains in the
system, to break out again in a more dreadful form at another
time. An extensive practice in the above diseases warrants the
Proprietor in asserting that in no case where this Medicine is
perseveringly taken can it possibly fail, being compounded on
scientific and infallible principles, the result of immense prac-
ticable experience.
"The Lady of a Liverpool merchant, after being under the
care of one of the first physicians in that town for many months
with pains in the back and elsewhere, but to no purpose, was
induced to try a small box of De Roos' Compound Renal Pills,
from which she derived more benefit than from all the medi-
cines ever prescribed for her by her medical attendant. The
truth of the above will be'verified by Mr. JONES, 5, Paradise-
street, Liverpool, to whom the lady's Physician candidly made
the avowal."

CAUTION.—A self-styled ten shilling Doctor (unblushing
impudence being his only qualification) is now advertising un-
der a different name, a highly injurious imitation of these Pills,
and a useless abbreviated copy of Dr. De Roos' celebrated
Medical Adviser, slightly changing its title: sufferers will
therefore do well to see that the stamp round each box is a
bona fide government stamp, not a base counterpart, and to
guard against the truthless statements of this individual, which
are published only for the basest purposes of deception on
invalids and fraud on the proprietor,
TO PREVENT FRAUD on the public by imitations of the
above valuable medicine, her Majesty's Honourable Commis-
sioners of Stamps have directed the name of the proprietor, in
white letters on a red ground, to be engraved on the govern-
ment stamp round each box, without which none are genuine,
and to imitate which too closely is felony and transportation.
N.B.—Should difficulty occur in obtaining the above, enclose
the price in postage stamps to the Establishment.

HEALTH WHERE 'TIS SOUGHT!

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS

CURE OF A DISORDERED LIVER AND STOMACH,
WHEN IN A MOST HOPELESS STATE.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Matthew Harvey, of Chapel Hall,
Airdrie, Scotland, dated the 15th of January, 1850.
To Professor HoLLowAy.
SIRS Your valuable Pills have been the means, with God's
blessing, of restoring me to a state of perfect health, and at a
time when I thought I was on the brink of-the grave. I had
co. suited several eminent doctors, who, after doing what they
could for me, stated that they considered my case as hopeless.
I ought to say that I had been suffering from a Liver and Sto-
mach complaint of long stai.dirig, which during the last two
years got so much worse that every one considered my condi-
tion as hopeless. I as a.,./fist resort got a box of your Pills,
which soon gave relief end by persevering in their use for
some weeks, togetherfwith rubbing night and morning your
Ointment over my chest and stomach, and right side, I have
by their means alone got completely cured, and to the asto
nishment of myself and everybody who knows me.

CURE OP ASE OF WEAKNESS AND DEBILITY, OF
FOUR YEARS' STANDING.
Extrac Letter from Mr. William Smith, of No. 5, Little
Thomas-street, Gibsoh-street, Lambeth, dated December
12th, 1849.
To Professor HOLLOWA T.
SIR,—I beg to inform you that for nearly five years I hardly
knew what it was to have a day's health, suffering from extreme
weakness and debility, with constant nervous headaches, gid-
diness, and sickness of the stomach, together with a great
depression of spirits. I used to think that nothing could
benefit me, as I had been to many medical men, some of whom
after doing all that was in their power, informed me that they
considered that I had some spinal complaint beyond the reach
of cure, together with a very disordered state of the stomach
and liver, making my case so complicated that nothing could
be done for me. One day being unusually ill and in a dejected
state, I saw your Pills advertised, and resolved to give them a
trial, more perhaps from curiosity than with a hope of being
cured ; however, I soon found myself better by taking them,
and so I went on persevering in their use for six months, when
I am happy to say they effected a perfect cure.
(Signed) WILLIAM SMITH,
(frequently called EDWARD.)

THE COMING MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

Since the fervour of the 9th October has subsided, the
First of November has become " the talk." In St.
Peter's Ward there are various opinions, and the names
of numerous likely and respectable persons for its repre-
sentatives are mentioned. Mr. Hastings, who was waited
on at the vacancy which recently occurred, will probably
refuse to come forward. This course will, no doubt, be
also followed by Mr. Crossley, who was likewise solicited
to fill the vacancy, both gentlemen doubtless feeling the
difficulty of opposing a candidate they individually and
assiduously supported, Mr. Clarke, the present member ;
but there can be little doubt that he will be opposed, and
it is rumoured that a committee is about to be formed to
solicit Mr. Thomas Branch, a gentleman who is much
respected, to become a candidate. Whether for this
ward or any other, Mr. Branch, from his worth, de-
serves the honours of the council.
In St. Paul's Ward, Mr. Ambrose Lace, a gentleman of
high position, whose ability is admitted on all sides,
and whd has already had great experience in municipal
matters, is named to oppose the retiring member, Mr.
Briscoe, and Mr. John M'Guffie, the thrice named can-
didate.

Mr. Thomas Wagstaff is again to be brought forward
in Great George Ward, with every probability of re-elec-
tion, having staunchly supported the principles he pro-
fessed to uphold.

In Scotl;ind Ward Dr. Hudson will be opposed by Dr.
Bradley. A correspondent, however, writes us, that " a
respectable additional candidate is wanted."
Mr. John B. Lloyd, we may state, is confidently
spoken of as likely to fill the civic chair.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.
In consequence of the Queen's visit, business during
the week has been very much interrupted.
In the Cotton market, during Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday, there was a close holiday ; and the usual Cora
market, in Brunswick-street, was not held on Friday.
In the Produce market, during the week, few tram-
actions took place.
Our Shore Market has not been so active during the
past week, the festivities consequent upon the Queen's
visit having interfered with business in the Stock
exchange in common with other markets. There has
not, however, been any material decline in prices,
much less so than might have been expected, and
to-day there are several buyers at the late quotations.
The close of the exhibition, the weather, and the ap-
proach of the account, however, are all against any decided
change for a few days. We annex to-day's quotations;--

increase of five vessels with 1.948 tonnage, the difference
between 46 vessels with 16,602 tonnage, and 51 vessels of
18,550 tonnage. The net increase, taking the whole of
the ports, is seven vessels with 13,096 tonnage, the
figures for 1850 being 701 uessels with 337,199 tonnage,
and 708 vessels with 350,295 tonnage. This has chiefly
occured in connexion with arrivals from Madras, China,
arid New South Wales, while, on the other hand, the
principal decrease has been in vessels from the Mauritius.

stationary position. In 1850 the clearances were 239 ves—
sels with 119,919 tonnage, and in 1851 there have been 239
vessels with 125,787 tonnage. Bristol and Hull figure for
a decrease of 7 vessels with 3.031 tonnage—the return for
