which, in literary merit and pictoral attraction, shall be en-
titled to rank as one of the most splendid descriptive publi-
cations of the present day.
In maturing arrangements for a work of this nature, in
which so many individuals--of the first eminence in their
several departments—are required to co-operate, a consider-
able period of time must necessarily elapse. The Proprietor.
however, has now the satisfaction to announce, that his ar-
rangements are completed, on a scale which promises the
fullest measure of Success in the execution of his under-
taking.
Having secured the advantage of the distinguished talents
of Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, Bart., it may be only ne-
cessary further to state, in reference to the literary depart-
ment, that many of the Noble and distinguished Personages
who had the honour of attending on her Majesty, have
evinced the utmost readiness to contribute such information
as they conceived likely to enhance the value and interest of
the work.
Among the 2krtists whose works will illustrate the Scenery
through which her Majesty passed, and the Pageants to
which the Royal Visit gave rise, the Proprietor begs to sub-
mit the following names :

Among other events connected with the Royal Visit, the
Work will include an accurate account of the reception at
Dalkeith Palace, with the names of all those who had the
honour to be presented to her Majesty.
The Proprietor may be permitted to state, that the flatter-
ing support which the undertaking has already received, has
encouraged him to expend a much larger amount than was
originally contemplated, in the embellishment of the Work.
As it is intended that it shall appear early in 1843, those
who desire to possess the Publication, are requested to lose
no time in authorising their names to be added to the List of
Subscribers ; and, as this list will be printed at the end of
the volume, it is important that the names should be trans-
mitted to the Publishers with as little delay as possible.
The narrow limits of an advertisement admit of only a
small selection from among the names of Royal and Noble
Personages who have honoured the Work with their patron-
age.

CAUTION.—HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
MR. LAWRENCE :HALL begs to acknowledge that
IVA- liberal patronage he has received for so many • Ts,
and deems it a duty to:himself and the public to gua them
against the many spurious imitations which are d foisted
upon them under the various denominations f " BEST
PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATE STARCH,"
" PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-F D STARCH,"
" SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &C. hese invariably
disappoint the consumer, and greatly inj him (Me only
Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as
his make; and he begs further to caution them against pur-
chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made
from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be
distinguished from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer
knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior
strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when
exposed to the atmosphere.
It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a Patent for his invention before he brought
the article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other rnakers.being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the
case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch•are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requested to ask for
HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.
No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.

To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street,Bloornsbury,London.
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself by
your valuable Eye Snuff. Sir, lam now in my ninety-third
year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country 26
years ; whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. Ido most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain, but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention.
I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your Agent, Mr. Wilcock-
son, Tobacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will
bear witness to my extraordinary recovery of that most esti-
mable blessing of our life—" perfect sight"—l declare has
proceeded from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of
those suffering, you may make what use you please of this
letter; Mr. Wilcockson and many others will vouch for:its
truth. I refer the sufferers to this gentleman, being your
Agent, and so well known in Nottingham.
I am, sir, your obliged servant,

" To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye Snuff.
" sth December, 1840.
" Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes
being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many
medical gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist,
Dr. Alexander: indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all
their still. ' Physic, bleeding, blistering, with a seaton, and
all kinds of lotions, but no relief,' till chancing one day being
led by your house, in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my
guide inquired if I had tried your Eye Snuff, on which I
purchased a Is. 3d. canister, opened it in the shop, took
some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home.
I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so,
that it was your Eye Snuff cured me. Shall be happy to
answer any inquiry.—I am, sir, yours gratefully,
" L. S. BREWER."

To Wrn. Grimstone, Esq.
November 6,1841.
Sir,—Having seen your advertisements, I inquired of some
of those gentlemen who have derived so much relief from
using " your Eye Snuff." I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister:for
my son, who was suffering so much from the Head-ache and
Deafness ; before he had used half of it, he was cured,which
nabled him to follow his profession.—l am, yours gratefully,
M. HACKETT.
.Mr. Banister, Surgeon, 2, Cross-court, Broad-street.

To W. Grimstone, Esq., 39, Broad-street.
" 10th December, 1840.
" SIR,—I have been afflicted for many years with a severe
pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart-
ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical
advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine,
without receiving any relief; but I am now delighted to say,
with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which
I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I
am quite free from those excruciating pains, year read the
smallest print, although lam in the 67th of my age.
This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give
it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, " E. ROBSON.
19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone."
P.S.—Sir, I should not do justice without stating my relief
was almost instantaneous. My Eyes became clear and free
from humour, and by persevering in its use very frequently I
am enabled to read small print without the aid of glasses, and
continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight ! free from
pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recommend your
Eye Snuff to all I know. A. Z. M., Nottingham.

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
i
the momentous importance of securing protection
from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Books nd Papers of
Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combu ible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel -cused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered
Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in•the prin-
cipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each
the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a
long course of experiment, that, under suitable modification
of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle
of their Patent is capable of affording security under the
severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they
respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested
in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investiga-
tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in
•
use, their own amongst the rest.
M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to
whom permission of reference is kindly given :.•
THOMAS BOLTON, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER.
BARTHOLOMEW FRESCOT, Esq.
L. GRAHAM, Esq.
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.
WM. STOCK, Esq.
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention.
to the following statements :
A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotundo
Gardens, October 7th, 1842. The fire, consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
ngs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial, al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

Account Books, which were deposited in two Iron Safes,
made by of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes,
The incont enience and loss occasioned to me is very great.

the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ;
We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole
time of the above, feel pleasure ini expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and
old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and were locked
down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitatistrasse. '
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and

The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle
stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life,
and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those
who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such
persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of
life is almost subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of
mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require; and
partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive appre-
hensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature
grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co.,
Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM
Of
SYRIACUM.

Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and
throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general
habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural
and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce in a
considerable degree, all or any of these effects, must be,
under certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted
to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm
of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed
hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly
or collaterally, to 'Almost every other; in short, the debility
of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent me-
dicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ;
its fine, rich, stimulating balsamic stomachic qualities—its
purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invi-
gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties
become restored to their proper power and functions, and
the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency,
and duration, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature
decay, to sound and pristine health.
As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings,
loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling
or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness
of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful
efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed
by its use.

Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,
are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthroas,
and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily
cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere
long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will
become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with
flesh, firm and healthy.
Sold in Bottles, price I ls. each, or the quantity of four in
one Bottle for 335., by which one Ils. Bottle is saved.
Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the usual
fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever can be
taken of the communication (postage pre-paid.)

January 18, 1843.

AT a numerous and highly•respec4ble MEETING of the
PROPRIETORS of the LONDON and BRIGHTON
RAILWAY COMPANY, held on the 18th instant, in Li-
verpool,
WILLIAM EARLE, Esq. in the Chair,
the following Resolutions were unanimously passed :
" 1. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the Directors of
the Brighton Railway do not enjoy that full and complete con-
fidence of the Proprietors which is essetkrial to the well-being
of the concern, and that means shoul4'be immediately taken
to put the board of Directors on a More satisfactory footing
" 2. That, from whatever cans§ this state of things has
arisen, the existence of the fact is alone sufficient to justify
the demand for a change ; but this Meeting conceives that the
excess hitherto unexplained in the cost of the construction
of the Line, not merely over the original, but over the re-
vised estimates, as also the very defective state of the Com-
pany's accounts, as shewn by the Report of the Committee
appointed in January 1842, affords, in the absence of all
other causes, good ground for withdrawing their confidence
from those to whose management the affairs of the Company
have hithetto been entrusted.

" 3 That, entertaining these sentiments, this Meeting con-
sider it inexpedient to proceed in the present Session of Par-
liament with any bill for an extension of the line to the west
end of London, but that in the bill about to be obtained for
legalising the Loan Notes, it be recommended to introduce
a clause to reduce the number of Directors from twenty-four
to ten, and that a new election of the whole Board shall take
place at a Meeting to be called immediately after the passing
of the Act.

" 4. That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the remu-
neration of such Directors should not exceed £l,OOO per
annum." _

~r

The following resolutions were passed seriatim :
" 5. That, pending these contemplated changes, this Meet-
ing feels strongly inclined to appoint a committee in London,
to watch over their interests; but anticipating, and in some
measure sharing in, the objections which may be urged on the
the part of the Board, to adopting measures on the suggestion
and advice of others, who are not responsible for their effects,
either as regards the safety of the Public or the interests of
the Concern, they trust to a sense of proper feeling in the
members of the Board to create, at once, the required vacan-
cies by a voluntary surrender of their seats, so as to enable
the Proprietors at large to appoint or re-elect such Directors
in their places as will, in their opinion, restore that harmony
between the Shareholders and the Board which it is so de-
sirable to establish.
" 6. That it is expedient the Shareholders, in different parts
of the country, should act in unison.
" 7. That Mr. William Earle, Mr. Hugh Hornby, and
Mr. John Chorley, be appointed a deputation to attend the
next General Meeting, on behalf of the Liverpool Proprietors,
and that immediate steps be taken to procure them as many
proxies as possible, for the purpose of carrying out the spirit
of these resolutions, or of pursuing such other measures, for
the interests of the company, as circumstances may render
expedient.
" 8. That these resolutions be forwarded to the Board in
London, not later than the 25th instant, and that a eonlrnu_
nication respectfully requesting that the Directors will take
them into immediate consideration, and favour the Pro-
prietors by coming to a decision upon them on or before the
Ist of February.
" 9. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mar..
chester, York, Leeds, Lancaster, Dublin, and Glasgow, with
a recommendation that meetings be called in the said places
for the purpose of urging the Proprietors to adopt these or
similar resolutions, and to forward them to London before
January 25."
N.B. Proxies will be received by the Chairman, at his
Office, No. 4, Commercial-buildings, Water-street Liver-
pool, where forms may be procured. It is earnestly
re-
quested that those Proprietors who coincide in the views c
the Meeting, will have the goodness to send in their Proxies
on on or before the Ist of February next. After naming the
three Gentlemen of the Deputation, the words " al 1 or any"
should be inserted.
