TAND H. SMITH'SFLUID EXTRACT OF
• SENNA, prepred in Vacuo, sold in Bottles at
2s. 6d., 55., and 10s. each.
This is a pure Extract of Senna, ja high state of
perfection, prepared in Vacuo. -It is an efficient and
easy purgative, in small
,doses ; those for adults even
seldom exeeeding 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. Christman, the distinguishedhed
Professor of Materia Medica in the Edinburgh University :
" The Fluid Extract of Senna is now used very largely
in this city, (Edinburgh.) and by many medical practi-
tioners, as well as klyself, 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. SMITH, Chemists, 21
Duke-street, Edinburgh ; and sold Wholesale by Join.;
CLERK. 30, Mersey-street, Liverpool ; BARCLAY and
SONS, Farringdon-street, London ; and may be had retail

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

Dr. BOWRING said he would bring the subject under
the consideration of the house early in the next session.
Mr. WAKLEY said the grossest frauds were resorted to
under the existing system.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a bill
for the amendment of the law of settlement in England.
The right hon. baronet stated the provisions of the bill,
the chief of which were the repeal of all the existing laws
of settlement, and establishing birth, and birth only, as
the future governing principle.
The measure was warmly approved of, and, being read
a first time, was ordered to be printed, with a view to its
being taken into consideration early next session.
Sir J. GRAHAM then moved for leave to bring in a bill
to regulate the appointment and payment of clerks and
other officers of the courts of petty and quarter sessions
of the peace, oyer and tersniner, and gaol delivery.
This bill was similarly eulogised by several hon. mem-
bers ; but in reference to a compensation clause,
Mr. ESCOTT read a communication, showing the extor-
tions practised by those clerks, and contended that the
length of time during which they had practised such ex-
tortions ought not to be made the ground of a claim to
compensation. Such a principle was monstrous, and he
hoped the right hon. baronet would not fail to take it into
consideration, for compensation under such circumstances
was nothing short of a premium of future extortions.
Mr. WAKLEY said that the judges in the cases referred
to must have been cognisant of the extortion of their
clerks, and should share the blame. The bill, however,
was a good one throughout, like that which preceded it,
and he felt bound to say that the Government bad within
the last few days introduced so many admirable measures,
that he thought it a pity that Parliament should break up
without passing them. The measures introduced were
essential benefits, and why not proceed to give the coun-
try the immediate advantage of them.
Mr. G. KNIGHT highly eulogised the conduct of Sir
James Graham for the manner in which he had conducted
the public business throughout the session, and gave him
his warmest thanks for the measures which he bad that
evening introduced.
The remaining business was of a routine description.

AN AGENCY having been established at the above
place, for the Sale of

AMERICAN ICE,
the Subscriber would invite the attention of the Nobility,
Gentry, and others to the following description of it:—
The ICE is in Blocks of 21 ilt;hetruperficial square, from
16 to 18 inches in thickness, Thing about 2001bs. each,
perfectly transparent. an • the
PURES RING WATER :

waste).
Not only as an article of luxury has its use become ge-
neral throughout the world, but its economy in the
PRESERVATION OF MEATS, FISH, &c.,
when packed in it (for any length of time desired), has
caused it to be freely used, wherever it has been intro-
duced ; and it has actually become a necessary of life. It
is intended to keep a large quantity of this superior Ice
constantly for sale.
FAMILIES, PACKET-SHIPS, STEAMERS, HOTELS, CON-
FECTIONERS, PROVISION DEALERS, &C.
will find it their interest to use it.
Gentlemen and others, if they desire it, can have a
small Ice-house erected on their premises, and filled with
Ice for a year's consumption, at a very low rate.

LYNN'S WATERLOO HOTEL, RANELAGH-

WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of
the Nobility, Gentry, Hotel-keepers, and others,
to this beautiful and cheap article of importation. It is
in SOLID BLOCKS, weighing from One..ta. Two Hundred
Pounds each. and is as CLEARaSTRYSTAL; it can be
sent to any distance, with veirlrifling waste, and is used
for a variety of purposes ttiat English Ice cannot be ap-
plied to.
W. L. has importtd some PROVISION SAFES from
America for the use and comfort of Private Families, the
REFRIGERATOR, or, as sometimes designated, A
MINIATURE ICE-HOUSE. This is a new and use-
ful article of furniture, rapidly coming into use in northern
and southern climes ; it is designated to keep cool and
sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are ne-
cessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during
the summer season.

The REFRIGERATOR is now considered an indispensa-
ble article in the economy of every good housewife : the
quantity of food it preserves will more than pay the cost
of the article in one year. They may be seen in operation
in their various valuable and useful purposes at the WA-
TERLOO HOTEL, and families can be supplied with them
on moderate terms.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 6.

The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last contain a
fair quantity of Oats from Ireland, but that of other
articles thence is very moderate, and of any thing Coast-
wise we have little fresh in to notice ; from abroad, how-
ever, the imports of Wheat, Beans, and Indian Corn.
during the week, furnish a tolerable, and of Canadian and
States Flour, a further considerable supply, amounting to
33,420 barrels as inserted below.
As, with the exception of a few showers, the weather
since Friday was mostly fine, harvest in this neighbour-
hood was progressing favourably until last night, during
which we had several hours rain, and to-day is cloudy ;
but attended with a cool drying wind, no injury, so far, is
apprehended.
At our market this morning the Wheat trade opened
with more firmness on the part of holders, and upon a
moderate demand from town and country millers, good
red Baltic Wheat, in partial instances, realized anad-
vance of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. on the rates of this day week,
which at the close of business was hardly maintained,
and for Mediterranean samples, as well as the general
runs of English and Irish old, no amendment was ob-
tainable ; a very small lot of Irish new Wheat, however,
which appeared to-day, was sold at 7s. 2d. per 701bs.—
Home made and Irish Flour being in slow request, was
the turn cheaper, and Canadian free scarcely supported
late prices.
Barley, Malt, and Pease, with little passing in each, re-
mained stationary in value ; whilst Beans, upon a mode-
rate demand, were a shade dearer.
Oats, continuing to meet very little attention, hardly
sustained our last currency. Oatmeal, notwithstanding,
was disposed of much more freely and extensively than of
late, at the full rates of this day se'nnight.

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.

LECTURES ON GYMNASTICS,
BY L. HUGUENIN, ESQ.

These lectures have been preceded by a very agreeable
performance by Mr. Mott on his newly-invented piano-
forte. One of them has the apparent combination of the
wind and stringed instruments, playing first as a finely-
toned grand piano, and afterwards imitat►ng most of the
wind instruments, particularly the organ, French horn,
hautboy, violin, &c., with such correctness that the unprac-
tised ear would indeed fancy he was listening to a kind of
instrumental concert, each performing its part with per-
fect regularity. This invention of Mr. Mott's bids fair
to make as great a revolution in music, and the applica-
tion of science to the enunciation of sound, as modern
systems of travelling have effected in the ancient plan of
conveyance. The audience were highly delighted with
his playing, and regretted that he was labouring under the
effects of a severe cold, which preventel him fully ex-
plaining the principles on which these improvements are
founded. We trust that his visit to Liverpool will not
be unavailing, but that he will meet from our wealthy
townsmen that encouragement which his ingenious in-
vention so richly deserves.
M. Huguenin then commenced his introductory lecture,
and stated that he was sure no one would suppose that he

per load, (240th) 25s 6.1 to 265.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 9.
We have a small arrival of grain to this day's market. Wheat
met a fair sale at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter from the
rates of this day se'nnight. Beans must be noted is per qr.
higher. Oats, Barley, and other articles no alteration.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, AUG. 7.
We had, another large supply of stock to-day, and of fair
average quality. The supply exceeding the demand, caused
a dull trade in Beef and Mutton, and the buyer had the ad-
vantage in both, the former realising 5d to sid, and for prime
6d per lb.; Mutton 5d to Sid; and lamb 5/d to 6d per lb. A
considerable quantity of stock unsold at the close of the
market.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 9.
The weather continues unsettled, and at this day's market
Wheat fully maintained the currency of Tues Cay—whilst Oats
met a dull sale at this day's prices. There appeared but little
new Bere and Oats, and their value remains unaltered.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, ArG. 6.
The wea her having been unsettled this week, the dealers, in
consequence, asked 2s to 3s advance of fine Wheats. The trade
more firm, and the sales made may be rated at 2s advance.
Other qualities difficult to quit at any advance. Beaus scarce,
and Is dearer. Oats slow sale, at last currency.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, AUGUST 9.
Although the supply of Beasts on sale here to-day was by no
means extensive, we have to report a very dull inquiry for Beef,
and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. We
•had on sale 30 oxen and cows from Rotterdam, and 100 Scots
from Aberdeen. Prime old Downs were scarce, and in demand,
at full price. In other breeds of Sheep very little was doing.
The lamb trade was extremely heavy, and the currencies bad
a downward tendency. The number of Calves was good, yet
the veal trade was active, at fully late rates. In Pigs very little
was doing. Mitch cows sold at from £l6 to 10s each.

COURTS OF LAW COMMITTEE.

It appeared from the proceedings of this committee
that Mr. Elmes, the architect, sought for a further outlay
of £5OOO in improving and embellishing the new assize
courts. The committee recommended it to be made.

This gave rise to a long and animated discussion, in the
course of which some not very complimentary remarks
were made respecting those who had not forseen the ne-
cessity of these alterations in the first instance.
Mr. STEWART said it was an unfortunate business al-
together. He saw that there would be continual calls for
money, and his opinion was that the whole thing had been
badly managed from first to last.
Mr. Nownr moved as an amendment that the proceed-
ings be confirmed, with the exception of that portion
which related to the expenditure of the £5OOO.
Mr. /CMS!! AW seconded the amendment, and upon a
division the numbers were—for it, 12 , against it, 12,
The MAYOR having given his casting vote against the
amendment, it was lost by a majority of one, and the
proceedings were confirmed.
The council adjourned, at twenty minutes to four
o'clock, to that day week, (to-morrow,) for the despatch
of the remaining business on the paper.

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.

LECTURES ON GYMNASTICS,

BY L. HUGUENIN, ESQ.
These lectures have been preceded by a very agreeable
performance by Mr. Mott on his newly-invented piano-
forte. One of them has the apparent combination of the
wind and stringed instruments, playing first as a finely-
toned grand piano, and afterwards imitating most of the
wind instruments, particularly the organ, French horn,
hautboy, violin, &c., with such correctness that the unprac-
tised ear would indeed fancy he was listening to a.kind of
instrumental concert, each performing its part with per-
fect regularity. This invention of Mr. Mott's bids fair
to make as great a revolution in music, and the applica-
tion of science to the enunciation of sound, as modern
systems of travelling have effected in the ancient plan of
conveyance. The audience were highly delighted with
his playing, and regretted that he was labouring under the
effects of a severe cold, which prevented him fully ex-
plaining the principles on which these improvements are
founded. «e trust that his visit to Liverpool will not
be unavailing, but that he will meet from our wealthy
townsmen that encouragement which his ingenious in-
vention so richly deserves.
M. Huguenin then commenced his introductory lecture,
and stated that he was sure no one would suppose that lie

CURE OF A VERY SORE LEG.

ERASMUS VIANT, of Redruth, Cornwall. had an inflammation
in his leg about fifteen years since, which left a large running
wound that has been continually discharging for the last four-
teen years ; several times during this period he has been obliged
(owing to his wound) to leave his employment, and lsst summer
he was confined to his house for ten weeks, and had a doctor
to attend him ; at the same time his other leg was dreadfully
afflicted with the scurvy, which was so irritated at times that
(as the man expresses it) it looked like a piece of raw flesh ;
and he declared, with all the medical attendance he received,
that it proved quite ineffectual in eradicating this dreadful Com-
plaint. At last, having heard so much of " IVorsdell's Vegetable
Restorative Pills," and of the wonderful cures that had resulted
from the steady use of them, I was induced to obtain a box of
them ; I had not taken more than one-half of them before I saw
a great change in both my legs ; I continued to take them till
I finished one box, and am thankful to Almighty God (and to
Mr. Worsdell, as the inventor of these invaluable purifiers) to
be able to state, that the benefit I derived from their use is be-
yond my most sanguine expectations ; the wound on my leg is
completely healed, the pain quite removed, and the scurvy en-
tirely eradicated, and both my legs are as sound now as ever
they have been at any period of my life.

WORSDELL'S PILLS are prepared only by JOHN
KAYE, Esq. Dalton Hall, near Huddersfield, to whom
has been transferred from W. Worsdel, Esq., late of
Myton Hall, Hull, the sole right and interest in compound-
ing the said Worsdell's Pills ; and to prevent fraud, the
Honourable Commissioners of Stamps have ordered the
words Worsdell's Pills, by John Kaye to be engraved on
the Governmsnt Stamp, and as a further protection, pur-
chasers are requested to observe that a fac simile of the
proprietor's signature is printed on the direction, wrapped
round each box, without which none are genuine, and to
imitate which is felony.
Sold in Boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. Gd.
NB. As there are still many Country Towns in which
no Agent has been appointed for the sale of the Pills, we
shall be happy to forward, from our wholesale Depot in
London, by Post, and free of expense, a single box, on
the receipt of Is. 2d. in postage stamps, or the larger box
on receiving 2s. 9d. in stamps.

THE STAR OF JACOB, a Monthly Magazine, edited
by the Rev. MOSES MARGOLIOUTH, Curate
of St. Augustine's, Liverpool, Author of the " Funda-
mental Principles of Modern Judaism Investigated," and
" Israel's Ordinances Examined."
It will contain critical expositions of prophecy, and at
the same time perverted constructions corrected. It is
intended to examine all the principal Jewish objections
against Christianity, and to refute them even on their own
grounds. According to the suggestion of a prelate of our
beloved church, it will also be retrospective in developing
the state of the Talmudical traditions, as they have varied
from the time at which they were censured by Christ
Jesus. The inquiry will be also retrospectively conducted
back to the time when the sacred text began to be the
subject of the commentator, who gradually debased its
meaning by various steps, and at various times, until the
Christian )Era, when our Lord declared that the Scribes
and Pharisees made the Word of God of none effect
through their tradition. The different departments of
Jewish literature, of which there are some most valuable,
will be noticed. The Magazine will also contain articles
on the Old Testament institutions, as they are now ob-
served by the Jews throughout their dispersion. Their
present state and movements in all places of their cap-
tivity will also be described, Sac. &c.
It is hoped, with the blessing of God, such a Magazine
may prove useful to students of biblical antiquity, &c.
We look, therefore, forward to their support, as the un-
dertaking must necessarily be accompanied with consider-
able expense. Such, therefore, as approve of our scheme,
and desire to become subscribers, are most respectfully
requsted to favour the Editor pf " The Star of Jacob'
with their names without delay, We purpose issuing the
first number (n.v.) as soon as we shall have a sufficient
number of subscribers to warrant the undertaking.
It is intended that each number of " The Star of Jacob"
will contain 48 pages octavo, price Is.

LONDON CORN MARKET. AUGUST 9.

At Mark-lane, today there was very little English Wheat
offering, the display of samples consisting of a few parcels left
over from previous arrivals. There was decidedly less inclina-
tion to buy than on Wednesday, and, though fac ors were firm,
were unable to release higher prices for even the best parcels
than those current on Monday last. The transactions in free
foreign Wheat were not of much importance, holders being,
generally unwilling to accept previous terms. The averages
are now coming low from all quarters, and unless the present
firmness be followed by a rise of several shillings per qr., the
duty will speedily advance to the maximum point. Yesterday's
general weekly average for the kingdom 51s) shows a fall of
is pri per qr. as compared with that for the preceding week, and
the London return of to-day (50s sd) is 2s 4d per qr. below that
of this day se'nnight.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

ing an abuse, at least of preventing trouble and disap..
pointment, I shall feel obliged by your doing so.
Siß'—lsftaytoeume thinkiltm a
On Friday afternoon last, I tendered a letter for France
at the usual receiving window at the Post-office, with ten-
pence, the customary postage for a single letter. After
the lapse of a few seconds, the letter and the money were
returned to me, with the observation, " Too heavy—
fivepence more." Rather surmised, I refused the addi-
tional fivepence, and on the following morning took the
same letter to a receiving box
in my neighbourhood, re-
questing the young man to weigh it before he took it in •
and upon his doing so, the letter proved perfectly within
the weight, a oz., the scale containing the letter quite
ascending. This circumstance will at once show the ne-
cessity of greater care in the officers at the Post-office,
and of a more exact adjustment of the scales throughout
the whole department.

I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
