From Mervyn Richardson, Esp.

I have much pleasure in certifying thit Mr. Levi extracted
several corns out of my feet eighteen months since, and upon
a thorough examination I find there is not the least sign of any
others having taken their places, and I have been perfectly free
from pain in consequence.
MERVYN RICHARDSON, Rock Ferry,

From .Tame: Plumpton, Esq.
I certify that Mons. Levi removea a very troublesome corn
my foot two years ago, which has not returned: I had also
extracted, this day, a soft corn between the toes, with equal
skill and without the least pain.

SANATORY REFORM.

TO THE NOBILITY, CLERGY, GENTRY, AND INHA-
BITANTS GENERALLY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

WHILE much may be done by the Legislature to
raise the health of Society to its highest possible stan-
41erd. e attainment of this desirable object s pitich more
}}he i
ependent upon the cultivation of indivirlmad--Xealfh. The
welfare of the social irtiote, is made up it--the welfare of its
parts. A becoming attention to per. • al health, then, is an
important means of advancing ti great cause of Sanatory
Reform ; and this attention cann. le more beneficially directed
than to the correction of all irr • parities in the functions of the
Digestive organs, and to the rnoval of the first symptoms of
the many dangerous anti f al disorders which cut short, and
render painful, the exist,- .ce of man. These objects can only
be attained by the use a medicinal agents ; and we respectfully
inform you that we fir the proprietors of one which, for twenty
years, has been mos • celebrated.
MOXON'S EFF VESCENT MAGNESIAN APERIENT
is the most afire- • ile and efficient medicine ever discovered,
containing all e properties of the best Saline Purgatives, with
the palatable 'qualities of a glass of SODA WATER. Pleasant
front its effervescing form, febrifuge in its influence on the
stomach and system, certain in its operation on the bowels,
whenever a purgative is required, this elegant preparation
is the best that can be used.

It is especially adapted for the relief of Habitual or Casual
Costiveness, Affections. Indigestion, Heartburn, Pains
in the Head, LoWness of Spirits, Nausea, Irritation of the
Stomach and Bowels, Piles, Fistula, the effects of excess either
in eating or drinking, &c., and, by its occasional use during
the summer months, the prevention of those serious dis-
orders, Cholera, Diarrhsea, and Dysentery.
Thousands of those who, from habits of life, or hereditary
constitution, are subject to that painful and, in the end, dan-
gerous disorder, the GOUT, have found astonishing relief from
the use of this preparation. If taken regularly, its cooling,
antacid, and corrective properties will altogether prevent the
accession of this disorder ; and, if taken during the fit, will
speedily relieve the pain and limit its duration. Many Medical
Authors of great celebrity, have recommended it for this pur-
pose. Extracts from their works, and many other testimo-
nials, are contained in the bill wrapped round each bottle.
Visitors to Harrowgate, Cheltenham, Leamington, Bath, and
other Spas, find it to be of great service in assisting the opera-
tion of the waters.

It is sold in bottles at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and Ils., the latter
containing five of the first size.
We also prepare a concentrated form of the celebrated
" COMPOUND DECOCTION OF SARSAPARILLA"
of the London Pharmacopoeia, which we declare to contain all
the alterative, antiscorbutic, and restorative properties of that
decoction, in an enduring and portable shape. It is sold in
bottles at .Is. 125., and 12s. ; equal, respectively to 6, 16,
and 32 pints of the London Decoction.
All respectable Medicine Vendors sell our Medicines, and we
undertake to forward any quantity amounting to 20s. or more,
to any part of the Kingdom, carriage free, on receipt of a
Postoffice Order for the amount.

GENERAL TRADE REPORT.

Monday Nght,

Although at the present time everything is dull, and
everybody is complaining of the lack of commercial
vigour, we are evidently upon the eve of an era of unex-
ampled prosperity. Like a strong man sleeping, the
power to do is accumulating with each additional moment
of rest. There is no deficiency of material to set every
branch of trade in active operation ; we only want the
will to rouse from our slumber, and begin. What
Eutope wants, America can supply ; the storehouses of
the world are full to repletion ; and one magic word-
CONFIDENCE-is only wanted to unlock their treasures
for the benefit of a teeming and industrious population.
And that this word should not speedily be pronounced we
see no potent reason. Affairs on the Continent look bet-
ter ; reports thence are generally more favourable ; and
we have hopes that the armistice question will be settled
quietly yet, in spite of the terrible men of Frankfort.
Moreover, the attempts at disturbance at home become
less frequent, and always ephemeral. Consols for money
opened on Saturday at 851 to 86, at which price, after
having touched 86ile, they again closed. The Three per
Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday at 44f. 75c.;
the Five per Cents. at 69f. 25c.
The SHARE Market has undergone a further depression
to a considerable extent during the past week ; prices on
Friday being lower than for many years. London stock,
in London, was once done at 104, Midland 81. Saturday
and To-DAY, however, there has been an inclination to
rally, and prices are quoted 2 to 3 per cent. higher: Large
purchases are being made of Midland 1 shares and Lon-
don new k shares. The former pay over 10 per cent. at
present price.
We have received very favourable intelligence from
America as to the safety and abundance of the COTTON
crop ' • the weather is reported to have assumed a settled
aspect, and the only damage sustained is a trifling delay
in the opening and picking process. Sympathising with
the continued reduction in value here, prices have a
downward tendency on the other side of the water ; and
if the crop afford anything like the anticipated yield, a
further reduction can Scarcely be prevented, except by
the springing up of an almost unprecedented demand.
Buyers this week have again had the advantage, in many
instances of id. per lb. ; and the sales on SATURDAY
amounted only to 3,000 bags, 400 of which were for ex-
port. There has been a fair inquiry TO-DAY; the sales,
however, are not more than about 4,000 bales. the bulk
American at 310. to 31{1., and 300 for export. The mar-
ket is still as heavy as it can well be represented, and
prices irregular. The import for the week ending the
15th inst. was 23,070, and the stock previously 556,757.
The sales for the week were 28,820, of which 1,300 were on
speculation, and 6,400 for export, leaving a stock in the
port of 552,307, which is 130,927 bales more than at the
same time last year. The stock of American is 408,146,
being 77,456 bales more than at this period last year. The
apparent weekly consumption is 26,185, against 20,457 at
the same period last year.
The principal business done in. Foreign Wool, during
the past week was at a sale of about 500 East India, held
here on Friday last, which brought such unsatisfactory
prices that a greater portion was withdrawn. In Scotch a
little has been done, but the present rates are with diffi-
culty obtained.
The Sugar Market continues much depressed, and the
sales since Thursday last are very trifling, say 100 'Aids.
West India at previous rates, and 1,100 bags good white
Bengal 395.-Holders of Rum being more disposed to
sell at a slight decline, has attracted the-attention _of the
trade, and several parcels have been placed at 2s. 6d. to
2s. 7d. for 32 to 37 per cent. 0.P., and 3s. per gal. for a
fine mark.-Molasses are still neglected, 18s. only bid for
good Porto Rico's.-Bengal Rice has been largely dealt
in at an advance of 3d, per cwt. ; the sales for the three
days are 17,000 bags-one half taken by speculators-at
prices varying from 9s. 6d. for small broken, to 12s. Gd.
for fine bold white.-280 tierces Jamaica Coffee have
been taken by the dealers at 355. to 86s. for ordinary
to fine middling, and 120 s. for choice marks. Expor-
ters have bought 800 bags Laguayra, at 345. Gd. to 355. 6d.
-The London markets have presented a heavy appear-
ance throughout the week, and prices have again in some
instances undergone a decline. The arrivals from the
East Indies have been numerous, and the consequent ex-
pectation on the part of purchasers that the supplies on
the market of many descriptions of produce would be
plentiful may, perhaps, account for the indifference to
transact business. The sugar market has shown greater
symptoms of depression than for weeks past ; and although
the importers have not pressed forward large quantities;
they have been compelled to give way Is. per cwt. in order
to secure sales.
Notwithstanding the extensive arrivals of the various de-
scriptions of TIMBER, the demand for nearly all, excepting
spruce planks, continues steady, but as yet there is no
improvement in the prices.
The transactions in Scotch Pig IRON have been limited
in amount this week, prices being a shade lower. The
following are the quotations :-No. 1, good brands, 465. ;
No. 3, ditto, 455. ; No. 1, Gartsherrie, 48s. ; free on
board at Glasgow, for cash.
Although the weather for the last few days has been
very propitious for the completion of harvest operations,
the CORN trade throughout the country continues steady,
the value of Wheat in many parts of England is somewhat
enhanced, and in London TO-DAY the market maintains a
firm tone, but last Monday's rates cannot be exceeded.
The continued unfavourable reports of the Potato crop
have in a great measure tended to keep prices up ; but,
with the immense stock of breadstuffs in America, reads,
to be called into the market on the first show of a de-
mand, and which comprise half of the last, and nearly the
whole of the present, year's crop, any decided advance in
price would very speedily be checked. We have no change
to note in the value of any article of the trade here, with
the exception of Indian Corn, which is Is. per quarter
higher to-day than at the close of the week. We
subjoin the latest intelligence about the POTATOES:-
IVisbech, Sept. 1G : We continue to have fine weather,
but we do not hear of any amendment in the Potato crop,
which is considered to be only about one-third fit for use.
-Cork, Sept. 16: We confirm our last as to Potatoes;
they are still going rapidly, and will shortly be unfit for
human food.-Newry, Sept. 16: Farmers seem rather
more favourable as to the probability of saving about
one-half of the present crop of Potatoes ; if such be true,
there will be an abundant supply of that article until
February nett.-Belfast, Sept. 14 : My advices from the
country are more generally unfavourable as to the Potato
crop than they were; still, the statements are so various,
that it is difficult to come to anything like ii-COrrecu
mate of the extent Of the loss which may be in the crop.
-Limerick, Sept. 16: The accounts received of Potatoes
are more unfavourable, and it is by no means certain that
there will be much over another month's consumption.- '
Waterford, Sept. 16: The supply of Potatoes is small
this week, but most of them fit for human food, which
sell at 7d. to 10d. per stone ; the black and rotten ones
are not worth carrying to market : we believe the disease
to be steadily progressing.
AMERICAN PRODUCE.-Montreal Pot Ashes maintain
last week's advance, and Pearls are a little dearer. Tal-
low is 2s. higher, in consequence of advices received from
St. Petersburg. The demand for Lard is very moderate,
at a decline of Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. ; some parties, how..
ever, refuse to sell except at previous rates. Butter is
also ls. to 2s. lower. In consequence of the advance in
Pork, a small quantity only has changed hands this week.
Bacon barely supports last week's quotations. Hams and
Shoulders, on the contrary, being low in stock, command
full prices. The market is again cleared of Cheese, at
prices varying from 275. to 48s. Nothing of importance
in other articles.

The decline in the price of IRISH Butter, which we
have had to report for some weeks past, has at length
received a check, owing to a diminution in the quantity
of arrivals; and although the trade is by no means brisk,.
no further depreciation in value has taken place., The
present price, compared with that of the corresponding
period last year, shews a reduction of no less than from
15s. to 20e. per cwt.
By the last returns from the Bank of England, the
amount of notes in circulation is £17,844,655, being a
decrease of £254,045 ; and the stock of bullion in both
departments is £13,666,482, showing an increase of
£156,820, when compared with the preceding return.

A number of drapers were summoned on Tuesday fer
exposing goods for sale on the footway. They were fined
10s. and costs each, and informed that, should they offend
affain, they would be fined 40s.
EsnApr. or A LIINATIC.—On Tuesday last Wm. Daniel
Jones, the son of respectable parents, residing in the neigh-
bourhood cf Bangor, made his escape from a lunatic asy-
lum, near Warrington. On the following day he was
captured in Market-street, Birkenhead.
