use of his name, the whole of his business being carried on
at No. 21, Paradise-street.

W. B. solicits attention, to his present Stock of BOOTS
and SHOP'S: into which he has introduced every article in
the Trade that is New ,Fasbionable. and Useful ; and as he
is the Manufacturer of his own Goods, (and not a mere
vendor,) he is able to warrant every thing sold at his estab-
lishment.

There are suitable Farm-houses, Barns, and other neces-
sary Farm Buildings on the Estates, which have all been put
into good and substantial repair within the last ten years, at
a considerable outlay; and the Lands are convenient, and
well Watered and Fenced, the principal part has been drained
and limed, but they are all capable of still further improve-
ment, at a moderate expense.
These Estates, except the Busk Farm and the Mudd Becks,
are nearly in a ring fence, and they are all in the hands of
respectable Tenants, at moderate rents. They are situate in
a highly-picturesque and beautiful country, near Aysgarth,
towards the upper part of Wensleydale, and abound with
Grouse and other Game, and there is excellent Fishing in the
River Yore, which runs through the Estates for nearly 5 miles.
The present affords an opportunity for investment (espe-
cially to Gentlemen fond of Agricultural Pursuits or the
Sports of the Field) rarely to be met with.
The purchasers may be accommodated with part of the
purchase money, at 41 per cent., if desired.

J. M. begs respectfully to draw Public attention to the
following :

FAMILY HAIR OIL,
Patronised by Persons of Distinction, and held in the
_ . _

highest estimation at the Toilet.
It renovates, and produces the finest lustre, even when the
Hair is on the decline or turning gray. It is more nutritious
than other Oils used for the same purpose. Its great utility
renders it of national importance. The testimonials and
kind recommendations of many distinguished personages in
Parliament remove any doubts of its efficacy, and it is the
first and only article for similar use ever sanctioned by Go.
vernment. The increasing demand will meet with every
attention.

The VEGETABLE SOAP is also highly esteemed for its
emolient properties, and has an equal claim to preference.
Sold at ls. per square and 10s. per dozen.—Family Oil, in
bottles for the toilet, 7s. 6d. and 10s. ; and pot boxes at 25.,
3s. 6d., and 58. each.
The great utility of the Family Oil was satisfactorily
proved on the 10th of April, 1830, in Parliament, when Mr.
Goulburn, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, was pleased to
grant the protection sought by the Proprietor.
Orders, addressed to the Proprietor, No. 6, Parker-street,
Liverpool, will be duly attended to.

JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu-
• larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public
to the undermentioned selection of Preparations.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.

Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu-
racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates.

THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience.
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction. the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode, of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of, water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms. &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &n. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
Injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.

FiVERENCR.

There will 1;e two grand Fashionable Nights during the
week, Wednesday and Friday, of which particulars will be
given in future bills.

The Performance will commence in the Evening at Half-past
Seven and Nine o'clock. For the convenience of Parties who

way alone will be exhibited throughout the day.
Admission—Boxes, Is. ; Pit, 6d. ; Gallery, 3d. ; Schools
admitted at Half Price.

renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft-

DANGER OF INCONSIDERATE OFFERS.—A gentleman in
this county, who was much annoyed by wasps, rather thought-
lessly offered a shilling for every wasp's nest which should be
brought to him. All hands in the neighbourhood immedi-
ately set to work, and the unlucky gentleman had to pay
nearly forty pounds, there being nearly eight hundred nests
brought to him.—ierhythire Courier.
DEATH OF JUDGE BRADY, OF NEw YORK.—We ob-
serve, from The New York Truth-Teller of the 30th July,
an announcement of the death of Judge Brady, which event
took place in that city on the 29th of the same month. Mr.
Brady was a native of Ireland. On emigrating from Cavan,
many years ago, he opened a classical school in New York,
and was, in some time after_wards, chosen an alderman, after
having been previously caned to the bar, and finally was
elevated to a seat on the American bench.
The Gazette de Picardie says that the heat was so excessive
lately in that part of France that a young girl at worts with
her father in the fields tell dead, from being exposed to the
rays of the sun. She had suddenly stopped working, and
exclaimed that she could not continue any longer without
getting some water to quench her thirst. The father, how-
ever, advised her to wait, observing that they could return
home in a short time together. She consented, and he con-
tinued his work. Suddenly he beard her fall, and, running
to take her up, he found that life had departed.
EXERCISE.—Mr. Curtis, in his work on the simplicity of
living, strongly recommends exercise in the open air, and
states that it is not only conducive to the preservation of
health, but it is in many case the most efficacious means of
benefitting those whose health has become impaired by ne-
glect of the natural laws. He strongly urges the necessity of
lesiening the hours of indoor employment, and observes that
the proposal for shortening the hours of business, now so ge-
nerally supported in London and other towns, is one the
adoption of which would prove highly beneficial to the health
of a very large class of the community, and would not, be
thinks, be any detriment to trade; and further recommends
that the banking houses be closed at four o'clock, instead of
closed at three.
five, adding, as a precedent, that all the banks in Dublin are
MONTE VlDEO.—Letters from Monte Video to the mid-
dle of July have been received, and announce the.fact of the
conclusion of a treaty of commerce there with this country,
signed by Mr. Mandeville, the resident British minister at
Buenos Ayres. It will be remembered that the intelligence
of the -conclusion of a similar treaty with Monte Video, signed
at the Foreign-office here by Senor Ellaury the representative
of that republic, was communicated several days since. The
following is a copy of the letter in which Mr. Mandeville an-
nounces to the British mercantile community in the River
Plate the fact of the signature of the treaty.
" Monte Video, July 15.
" Gentlemen,—ln the month of December last you de-
livered to me a memorial signed by the British merchants and
residents at Monte Video, expressing a hope that on the oc-
casion of my visit to this city the amicable relations between
her Majesty's Government and the republic of the Uruguay
might be more firmly cemented and protected by the conclu-
sion of a treaty of amity and commerce.
" I have the satisfaction to acquaint you that yesterday
evening I concluded and signed a treaty of amity, commerce,
and navigation on the part of her Majesty with the republic.
" I have the honour to be, &c.

A DWARF.—Thursday a little old woman, whose Lilliputi-
an proportions had excited the open-mouthed astonishment
of a number of juveniles in Gallowgate, and who felt herself
seriously incommoded by their impudent attentions, applied
to the police for protection. So far from the presence of the
officers, however, serving to disperse the gazers, it had quite
an opposite effect. They crowded, coushed and jostled each
other with such vigour, that by the time the dwarf had retched
Nelson-street, the passage was nearly blocked up, and on
reaching the office, the gates had to be closed to prevent their
ingress. The little woman, however, at last arrived in safety,
out of breath, and looking almost as much surprised, as those
who were so anxious to behold her. She described herself
as a native of Wales, and about 57 years of age. Her fea-
tures were dark, but animated and expressive; her figure
squat, but pretty well shaped. She might be about 24 feet in
height, and was rather an interesting dwarf. Of course she
obtained lodgings for the night, and early on Eriday morning
took her departure. It would seem that she had made her
escape from some travelling exhibition, the proprietors. of
which are, no doubt, by this time sorrowing for their loss.
On her \vay up the Gallowgate, it appears that she had gone
into several public-houses, inquiring for company, and that
in several instances, by exhibiting herself, she obtained a few
halfpence.—Glasgow Argus.
Lord George William Loftus, now a prisoner in the Fleet,
applied a few days ago to the magistrates of Guildhall for a
peace warrant against Major Willan, and a gentleman named
Tolfrey, both also in the Fleet. Lord Loftus stated in his
application, that on the 6th inst. he answered a knock at his
door, when he saw Tolfrey, who said to him, " I'll settle with
you." The same person came on the second visit; Major
Willan was with him, and they both used the same phraze that
Tolfrey used before, viz., " I'll settle with you." His lordship
states that he considers these expressions to be threats against
his life, and he told the intruders that he should appeal to
the higher powers. The major then said, "If you refer the
matter to a magistrate I'll cane you ;" and Tolfrey said. " If
you do I'll post you." Upon these and other representations,
Mr. Roe, the officer, was sent to the prison to make enquiry
whether it was a case which required the intervention of a
magistrate. The result was that on Friday afternoon Sir G.
Carroll and Mr. Payne went to the Fleet to hear a viva voce
statement. His lordship repeated the same threats which
he bad communicated by letter to the justice-room, and
declared that he was appebensive of personal violence. Major
Willan, in• answer to a question from Sir George Carroll,
said, " That by the words I'll settle with you," he alluded
to a sum of money which his lordship owed him. After a
lengthened inquiry, Sir G. Carroll said, that as Lord Loftus
had sworn that he was in personal fear, he should order the
warrant to be lodged at the warden's office against Major
Willan.—Observer.

A NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND.—The following
humorous and extraordinary anecdote, illustrative of the de-
grading extent to which even Lords and M.P.'s will some-
times go to achieve pecuniary ends, is daily furnishing con-
versational food for the gossips at the west-end :—Some
short time since a scion of mobility, who recently acquired
some notoriety in Paris, being desperately pushed for a
" cool" couple of hundred pounds, and having ineffectually
tried every probable source to obtain it, at last, as a Bernier
resort, applied to his noble parent (a gallant marquis) for the
trifling accommodation ; trifling, however, as the sum may
appear, the heroicM.P. is reported to have met with a plump,
and not very courteous, negative to his application. Disap-
pointed and enraged at the refusal, and the peremptory tone
in which it was conveyed, he, as a brave son of Neptune, hit
upon and, Proteus-like, carried into execution the following
eccentric stratagem to effect his purpose :—lt happened that
at a crossing opposite the window of the room in which slept
the noble marquis, his father. a mendicant sweeper was in the
habit of taking his stand in pursuit of his daily avocation. To
this " knight of the broom" the hero repaired, and for a small
sum bought him off his " lifehold" or crossing for a day.
and on the following morning, about the hour the marquis
usually rose, the distinguished scion, disguised as a beggar,
with a bran-new broom, was seen industriously employed in
sweeping clouds of dust towards the gallant marquis's window.
On looking out the noble marquis, to his utter astonishment,
beheld a fresh and ill-conducted sweeper, and incensed at the
rude manner in which he was carrying on his operations,
despatched a servant to know the cause. The servant having,
in the person of the mendacious sweeper, discovered Lord—,
returned in breathless haste to his master, and informed him
that it was his own son who was thus occupied in kicking up
such a dust ! " Oh hang him," said the noble and brave
veteran, " that is done to raise the wind (writing); here,
take this to him—a cheque—tell him to be off and change his
rags—his morals he never can. The command was no sooner
given than obeyed, and the beggar quitted his post of honour
and retreated in double quick time, highly gratified, however,
with his new mode of " raising the wind."—Observer.
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF A VESSEL AND CRENV.—On
Wednesday the 31st August, about twelve o'clock at night,
the schooner Sarah and Mary, of Barmouth, from Sligo, with
a cargo of oats, butter, and preserved salmon and lobsters,
bound to London, from some defect in her compass, and the
haziness of the weather, struck on the rocks at the south-east
angle of the bold promontory of Malinbeg (Malinbeg is at
the angle of a coast, formed by Donegal bay and the western
coast of Donegal county.) Panic-struck at the suddenness
of the shock, on so iron-bound a coast, with the stu-
pendous cliffs of an unknown shore hanging over their
heads, and blinded by the denseness of the fog, the crew in-
stantly took to the boat, without waiting even to throw a
biscuit into her, and beat about at sea till eight o'clock
on Thursday morning, deterred by
the breakers from at-
tempting a lauding ; but at length
they effected one on
Rathrey brow, an uninhabited island about two miles from
Malinbeg. In the meanwhile the vessel had bounded front
the rock on which she had first struck, and came upon the
rocks, a little more within the boat port—a narrow and ro-
mantic, but very exposed inlet of the sea. There she was
observed by the country-people at day-break, who manned
their fishing-boats and brought her safely within their fair
estuary; and here, had I the pencil of a painter or the pen
of a poet, I might describe a beautiful little vessel, of 70
or SO tons burthen, embedded deeply in the little caver-
nous inlet, with lofty and perpendicular cliffs towering
over her, while cloud-capped Slievebeag (above two thou-
sand feet high) rose majestically over all. But what pen
can sufficiently eulogise the conduct of the peasantry in this
secluded and distant part of the empire ! They brought
her in, and, had not her rudder been rendered for the time
unserviceable, would have taken her to the more secure
harbour of Killybegs ; kept the pumps going, and everything
on board safe until the coast guards, some three or four
hours afterwards, came to the spot, and nothing was pilfered.
I had nearly omitted to mention that the men, two in num _
ber, after being on the island without food till Friday mum_
ing, were brought safely into Malinbeg, at the instigation of
the Rev. Edward Labatt, who had proposed, under the pos_
sibility of their having got into Rathrey purn, to go for them
the night before, could he have got any men to venture with
him.—Derry Journal.
MR. CARTER AND ins ANIMALS.—Mr. Carter, whose
power in taming the most ferocious animals has long since
rendered his name familiar with the public, met with a seri-
ous accident at the English Opera on Tuesday evening. It
appears that the magnificent lion, whose appearance and
apparently perfect subjection so much delighted and asto-
nished the audience on Monday, the first night of its ap-
pearance, had been only in the possession of Mr. Carter for
the short space of a fortnight. Notwithstandina.

ness of this period, Mr. Carter had contrived tobobtainsueh
a mastery over the noble beast as not only enabled him to
place him

•
other animals which he had had in his' possession some
time, but also himself to enter with impunity into his den.

nothing untoward had occurred. On the following evening
(Tuesday), while the same part of the exhibition was as being
performed, the animal made another spring A Carter,

The failure of Mr. Richard Roberts, a cotton dealer in
Manchester, and one of the directors of the bank of Man-
chester, is announced to-day by the letters from that town.
The full extent of the liabilities of the concern is not stated,
but as the bank in which he was a director appears to have
been favoured with his custom to such an amount as upon
balance now to leave it creditor for as mentioned, no less
than £66,000, it may be presumed to be a heavy concern
altogether. The bank of Manchester seems to have had an
extraordinary run of business—amongst its own directors, at
least—for reports were current some time ago that one or
more other directors besides Mr. Roberts and Mr. Heron
were on the books for eery large sums, which they had obliged
the bank by borrowing upon bills discounted or on loan.
It
is asserted that, in respect of the " indebtedness" of Mr.
Richard Roberts, the bank holds collateral securities which
will cover one half of the loss, but this is a fact which remains
to be proved, and if proved would be a piece of good fortune
to which it has been little accustomed. It is difficult to
understand what could be the pretensions of a tradesman
of standing so moderate and of capital in his best days
so comparatively limited as Mr. Richard Roberts to a
credit at the bank of about £lOO,OOO, for at one time
it is stated that such was the balance against him for ad-
vances. This failure with the enormous bank bad debts
accompanying it, may be accepted as additional evidence, if
any could indeed be wanting, of the vicious system of trade
pursued in Manchester during the ten years preceding 1840,
which corresponds with tolerable exactness to the first creation
and subsequent inordinate extension of joint-stock banks
The facilities of credit and money opened to all comers • *
such magnificent prodigality under the brilliant thouhwnitoht
long-lived reign of the new banking system, naturally led to
the prevalence of overtrading and speculation in a ratio pro 7
portiosally extravagant, as the proofs have been since, and
are still, in existence in the shape of countless new factories
erected, filled with machinery and now at a stand-still, un
fortunate operatives out of work by tens of thousands, and
finally; in the Gazette teeming with bankrupt traders and
speculators. Mr. Richard Roberts was originally a dealer in
raw cotton, and perhaps is so still, although it may be in-
ferred4om his large deficit with the bank, that he must have
been etngaged in other branches of trade or speculation also,
for the means of carrying on which his position as a director
and his credit at the bank afforded him every
vantage, so far as an unlimited command of 020110 Y• °.
