SENNA,
FREE OF ITS TASTE AND SMELL.
TAND H. SMITH'S FLUID EXTRACT OF
• SENNA, prepared in Vacuo. sold in Bottles at
2s. 6d., 55., and 10s. each.
This is a pure Extract of Senna, it a high state of
perfection, prepared in Vacuo. It is /an efficient and
easy purgative, in small doses ; those !for adults seldom
exceeding one or two teaspoonfullsq For children, to
whom the common Senna Tea is unconquerably loathsome,
the Fluid Extract of Senna is truly' invaluable. Being
not only free from the nauseous taste and smell of the
drug, but being exceedingly pleasant to the taste, it is
taken by them even with a relish.
The Fluid Extract of Senna will be found exceedingly
suitable to those cases where all forms of Aloes are inap.
propriate, and particularly where there is a torpid action
in the stomach and bowels, whether constitutional or
brought on by sedentary occupations, and other causes.
In such cases small and daily repeated doses will prove
more efficient in removing this languid condition, by ex-
citing them to a gentle and healthy action, than any other
aperient ; consequently, in Paralysis and Head Affections
it will be especially useful.
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 may be had of all respecta-
ble Druggists, by asking for

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
"At the commencement of an undertaking so new and
so important as the connexion of a Girl's School to the
Mechanics' Institution. the Committee of Management
would briefly state the motives by which they are actuated,
and the objects at which they aim.
" The career of the Mechanics' Institution, ever since
its 'establishment in 1825, and especially since the opening
of the present extensive building in 1837, has been, not-
withstanding many difficulties, an almost uninterrupted
progress. Rising from small beginnings, it has now at-
tained a magnitude of which its early founders even
while they confess that the reality has far exceeded their
most sanguine expectations, may reasonably be proud.
Such facts as the following, that within a few years two
wings have been added to the building,—that a large
Museum of Natural History has been formed,—that a
Gallery of casts of Sculpture, inferior to only two similar
collections in the kingdom, has been brought together,—
that a stock of philosophical apparatus has been collected,
—that the premises have been rendered at once more com-
modious and more ornamental,—that the number of vo-
lumes in the library has risen to 11,000,—that a powerful
organ has been erected in the Lecture-hall,—that pro-
perty of various:kinds has been accumulated,—that two
extensive polytechnic exhibitions, each visited by 100,000
persons, have been held, amply illustrate the rap'dity of
the Institution's past progress; while its list of members
and subscribers, numbering 3.300 names,—its staff of
teachers and officers, amounting to not fewer than 50,—
its two day-schools, containing above 800 pupils,—its
evening classes, attended by 400 to 500 pupils,—its library,
issuing a daily average of 250 volumes,—its public lectures
twice in every week, attended by an average of 1000 per-
sons, form sufficient evidence of its present prominent
and influential position. Much has been done to improve
and to consolidate, as well as to extend ; modifications
and changes which increased experience dictated have
been introduced ; and at this time it may be truly said
that the general efficiency of the Institution, unequalled
at any former period, is such as to furnish the best guaran-
tee for future and increased success.
" The time seems now to have come when an extension
of the Institution, long desired, may actually be realised.
In the establishment of Day Schools for Boys, a feature
by which this Institution is distinguished from all others
bearing the same name,—the principle has long been re-
cognised, that education, to be efficient, must begin with
the young,—that its influence on the adult must be com-
paratively feeble, and that a well-trained and well-in-
structed childhood and youth are the only sure prepara-
tion for the reflective, truth-seeking, and upright charac-
ter of maturer years. There seemed no
, reason why this
principle should be limited to its application. The ques-
tion has again and again recurred, hy should one of the
sexes—one half of the human race—be refused participa-
tion in the advantages so liberally offered to the other ?
Why should girls, whose education is of at least equal
importance with that of bogs, while it has been dispropor-
tionately cared for, not be also provided with similar
means of instruction and improvement ? The advan-
tages arising from the establishment of day schools on a
large scale,—such as the convenience of having every
branch taught under the same roof—the unity of plan
the harmonious methods of instruction—the economy and
the greater efficiency resulting from the union of numbers
—the concentration of each teacher's attention on his own
department—and the greater general responsibility,—
seemed all equally applicable to the instruction of girls
and the example of other places, such as Edinburgh and
Glasgow was sufficiently decisive. Temporary difficul-
ties might here prevent or delay the attainment of the
object; but the urgency of the principle could not be
evaded. Between the conviction and the resolution,—

" The proposed school will be presided over by a ma-
tron of high character and refinement, and of adequate
attainments and experience to arrange and superintend
the labours of the several classes; and it will be, as far as
possible, conducted by female teachers. There seems to
be a natural propriety in the education of females being
conducted by persons of their own sex, and there is no
doubt that the female mind, from its peculiar powers of
sympathy and flexibility, is pre-eminently fit•ed for the
duty of instruction. One prominent object will be the
training of intelligent and experienced female teachers.
Much benefit must thus result to female education, not
merely in Liverpool, but throughout the country.
" The proposed school will be strictly a branch of the
Institution.' Its interests will be superintended by the
committee, by whom the matron will be appointed, and
to whom she will be responsible. Of the detailed plan of
the school and its programme of instruction, it is intended
that the matron shall have the chief formation and direc-
tion ; and with her the appointment of the subordinate
teachers will mainly rest. Several ladies, whose names
will head the more complete prospectus hereafter to be
published, have kindly allowed themselves to be nomi-
nated as patronesses, and have promised their counte-
nance and support.
" The school will be conducted in premises quite de-
tached fr •m the general establishment in Mount-street,
and the hours of meeting and dismissal of the pupils will
differ from those of the other day schools. By the timely
munificence of Mr. George Holt, the committee have
already been enabled to secure, on highly advantageous
terms, the large building called Blackburn House, in the
immediate vicinity of the Institution. A more suitable
place could not be conceived or wished ; its healthy situ-
ation, its numerous and ample apartments, its entire pri-
vacy, and its spacious play-ground, peculiarly adapt it for
the purpose. _ -

"-It has been stated that the school is designed to be
self-supporting. At the outset, however, extraneous as-
sistance will be requited to defray the preliminary expenses
of furnishing, fitting up, cleaning, printing, advertising,
&c., which cannot reasonably be borne by the receipts of
the first year. It is proposed, accordingly, to raise a sub-
scription of sufficient amount to allow the school to be
opened in August next, after the Midsummer holidays,
without any incumbrance of debt.
" The funds will be lodged in the hands of a separate
treasurer, (Mr. George Holt having kindly consented to
act in that capacity.) and a separate statement of accounts
will be laid before the members at their usual annual
meeting on the second Wednesday in March.
It is proposed to proceed without delay to the ap-
pointment of a matron, and the other requisite teachers ;
and thereafter to publish and circulate widely a prospectus
of the course of instruction to be adopted, with the exact
rates of charge. The number of assistant teachers and
many other arrangements will depend on the amount of
support given to the school. It is, therefore, m
that all parents who intend to enrol their daughters as
pupils should, as early as possible, make their intentions
known.
" The Committee are not aware that at this stage of
the business any further information can be given or re-
quii ed. They believe that such a school as that now pro-
jected is much wanted, and if well conducted is certain to
succeed. It remains with the public to prove the sound-
ness of this belief. It is not wished to interfere with the
many excellent schools whose terms are considerably
higher than those here proposed. The Committee would
rather afford a better education to those who now pay
less, than a cheaper education to those who now pay more.
Education is a blessing not to be indolently accepted as a
boon, but to be earned even though with somewhat of
struggle and self-denial. Such efforts on the parents'
part for the child's better education are twice blessed' :
they exalt the character of the parent, while they enhance
the obligation of the child. They are not, however, blind
to the fact that education, even in high quarters, is capa-
ble of improvement ; and in the success of the projected
school, they see a strong upward bearing on the education
of all ranks. The c .use is a noble one ; its aims are be-
neficent and holy ; its results boundless ; with the Divine
blessing, no effort towards such an end can be in vain."

EXTIRPATION OF ALL KINDS OF VERMIN.

CHIEF OFFICE, No. 69, KING WILLIAO-43TEEET.
CITY, LONDON.
Saddle Hotel, Dale-elre,f4 LiverpooI.REFERRING to the Advertisements in the Liverpool
Albion, of the 15th instant, and Liverpool Mercury,
it
of Friday last, Mr. J. A. MEYER, P ACTICAL CHEMIST,
by appointment to the Courts of R sia, Prussia, &c. &c.
has the honour to announce t the Nobility, Gentry,
Clergy, Merchants, and Inha is of Liverpool and its
vicinity, his arrival in their , n, and will be happy to
enter into Contracts, for a term of years, to cleanse &I-
F tates, Wharves, Warehouses, Ships, Granaries, Hotels,
Dwelling-houses, &c. &c. from all description of Vermin
with which they may be inf. sted.
As his Stay will be of short duration, an early applica-
tion is respectfully solicited, (if by letter, prepaid,) at the
above address, where the Preparation, with every informs.
tion respecting Agencies, &c. &c. may be had.
1 N.B.—Dwelling-houses cleansed from £1 to .f. 5 ; Man-
sions and Estates from £lO upwards; Ships, Granaries,
Breweries, Warehouses, Wharfs, &c. in proportion.
Mr. MEYER also undertakes to cleanse, by contract,
Markets, Streets, and Squares, guaranteeing that the same
shall be free of all Vermin for the term of contract.
Commanders of Vessels trading to tropical climates,
who are aware how much those countries are infested
with vermin and insects, and who know the extent of da-
mage done, particularly by rats, would unquestionably find
a ready sale for the different preparations, independent of
having it in their power to keep their ships free of all kinds
of Vermin and insects.
" I hereby certify that Mr. Joseph Meyer, practical
chemist to the Courts of Russia, Prussia, &c., has cleansed
the whole of the prison of Newgate from rats, mice, black..
beetles, bugs, and other vermin, without the use of drugs
of any poisonous nature whatsoever, for which I deliver to
him this certificate.
