CAUTION N.B.—As mistakes are daily occurring owing to there being a Mr. Wm. Johnson who has taken a shop two doors above our establishment, in Ranelagh-street, Johnson Brothers beg to inform the public that they still occupy their old shops as above, and employ the same foreman who has had the whole practical management of the works for the last fourteen years. Johnson Brothers also apprise the public that they have no connexion with the Establishment at Birkenhead. PUBLIC CAUTION ILLIAM JORDAN is compelled, in justice as V i V well to the Public as to himself, to make known the fact, that in several instances,his name has been erased from Window Plates of his best manufacture, and the names of other manufacturers (thus confessedly inferior) substituted, by which unprincipled conduct not only is he deprived of the fair merit of his own workmanship, but it is perverted into a lying refe rence by which tradesmen are deceived into the employing of incapable workmen. Ai the most recent and glaring proof or this assertion, W.. 1. refers to the Window Plates of No. 26, Castle-street, of his newest and most elegant pattern, which were lately made by ham, and to which his name was, as is usual, attached, but which, by some means, (of the respectability of which the pub lic may judge,) now bear the name of another maker, whose delicate sense of commercial honour will scarcely be the greatest obstacle to his success in business.

THE YULE-LOG will soon burn ruddily o n th e hearth; the tables will be spread with luxurious cheer; merry guests will have assembled ; the toast will go round ; the song will enchant all hearers; the cheek of beauty will glow; the heart of youth will palpitate with love and joy; and finally— " A measure—a measure— For fair dames and gentlemen 1" will resound through th e glorious halls 1 Christmas is, in truth, that especial season when friends mid lovers assemble to renew —or, as a quaint old poet phrases it, to-" redintegrate" their amity; and it follows, that PERSONAL ATTRACTION must create more than usual anxiety. The TOILET, then, becomes the grand desideratum; and silky hair—a complexion trans parent and blooming —and teeth like pearls are, in one word, Indispensable. To render the Toilet complete for the purposes Of HEALTH, BEAUTY, and ATTRACTION, three celebrated Pre parations are essential; namely, the " MACASSAR OIL," " KA LYDOR," & " ODONTO," of the Messrs. ROWLANDS. These may, all of them, without any exaggeration, be described as Beauty's Specifics ; and, moreover, quite unapproachable for elegance and delicacy. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL Is a delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation for the Hair; and as an invigorator and beautifier is beyond all pre cedent.

FOR WARMING CHURCHES, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, OFFICES, &c. BENJAMIN HIGGS respectfully invites attention to the above Stove, which, unlike most others, still main tains its fame. They are now manufactured in a very durable manner, and the fact of upwards of twenty Churches and Public Buildings in this town and neighbourhood having been warmed by them, is sufficient proof of their utility. The neatness in appearance—the complete safety from acci dent by fire—the cleanliness In its use—the ease with which the fuel is ignited—the constancy, night and day, with which the heat may be maintained—the trifling expense of fuel required —and the salubrity and purity of the air where it is used—are the chief recommendations of this peculiar Stove. Abundant experience, as well as the highest medical testi mony, has proved the entire safety and value of these Stoves in Dwelling-houses, even in Sleeping-rooms, and the Apartments of Invalids. By exposing a large extent of surface, a sufficient amount of heat is secured without being intensely heated in any one part; hence the air of the room remains pure, and, being uniformly distributed by means of a Circulator, is rendered both health ful and agreeable, which no other Stove or Heating Apparatus ever invented possesses. The Stoves may be seen in operation daily, at BENJAMIN HIGGS'S FURNISHING IRONMONGERY WAREHOUSE, 46, LORD-STREET.

We are certain that he has reformed numerous bad hands in an incre dibly short space of time.--See Journal, Feb. 12, 1849. MR. THOMPSON, THE ORIGINAL INVENTOR and CELEBRATED TEACHER of a new and unequalled System of WRIT ING, whose astonishing success in Liverpool, during the past twenty-three years, has obtained for him the patronage of up. wards of THIRTY THOUSAND PERSONS, Including the principal Nobility, Merohants, Bankers, Under writers, and other gentlemen connected with the Town-hall, Custom-house, Sessions'-house, Post-office, Mechanics' Insti tution, and various other important establishments too nume rous to mention. No matter how bad the present writing, or how old the pupil, Mr. Thompson guarantees, (in a few easy lessons of one hour each,) to Ladies, a light, graceful, and fashionable style, and to Gentlemen a style at once bold, free, and expeditious, facilitat ing the transactions of the merchant, and enabling the clerk to write with elegance and despatch, as well in his epistolary cor respondence as in his ledger. "Time tries all things" is an old adage, and certainly Mr. Thompson has been thoroughly tried in nearly thirty years. His system of teaching writing has stood the test of a hundred opponents, but he is still in the same locality, with pupils so increased in numbers that he nas now classed his son as his assistant.—Liverpool Standard, 1849. MR. THOMPSON.—This very able teacher changes a vile and illegible scrawl into a very good and free style of writing in a few easy lessons.—Liverpool Saturday's ddvertiser, 1827.

THOMPSON, a practical knowledge of which no man, old or young, should be without, who is desirous :of good commercial employment. MENTAL CALCULATION, COMMERCIAL ARITHME TIC, SHORT-HAND, &c., taught expeditiously, as usual. ltirßS. THOMPSON gives PRIVATE LESSONS ivi, to LADIES who have neglected their WRITING, or have acquired a bad habit in the use of the Pen. Also, NOTE WRITING, ENGLISH GRAMMAR, &c. Cards of Terms may be had by applying at No.B, CLAYTON SQUARE, LIVERPOOL. Mr. and Mrs. THOMPSON are ably assisted by their Son, Mr. JAMES W. THOMPSON. This Establishment, of which we are the projectors and pro prietors, will in many 'important respects differ from any at present existing in Liierpool; it may therefore be desirable, if not necessary, that we should state explicitly the basis •upon which it is founded, the system upon which it will be conducted, and the reasons which h ave l e d us to se l ect Liverpool as the field for our enterprise. The principles we adopt as a basis is to sell by retail TEAS AND COFFEES, of superior quality, at the SMALLEST RE MUNERATING PROFIT, FOR READY MONEY ; thus placing the inhabitants of Liverpool up n a footing, in the purchase of those articles, with the inhabitants of London. In order to ensure these results, there will be required, first, a competent knowledge of the business : secondly, capital sufficient for the purpose; thirdly, A CERTAIN AND QUICK RETURN OF THE CAPITAL EMPLOYED: and, fourthly, a population numerous enough to warrant the expectation of an "EXTENSIVE TRADE", without which the system of " SMALL PROFITS" canne be permanently maintained. The two former we are prepared to bring into immediate ope ration. and the two latter are sufficiently guaranteed by the immense population of Liverpool and a strict adherence to "cash payments:" the only system which effectually secures to the vendor the power of obtaining his goods upon the best terms; and to the purchaser the fulfilment of such pretensions as we have announced. LIVERPOOL, second only in importance to London, has not hitherto had the advantages of such an establishment as we propose. The existing grocery establishments, though in many instances of undoubted respectability and considerable extent, are still of that mixed character (combining a variety of hetero geneous trades) which indicates, usually, the infancy of a town rather than the advanced civilisation and high commercial status which are the characteristics of Liverpool. The rapid increase of its population, and other obvious signs of prosperity, at once mark it out as the pl a ce most suited for commercial enterprise, and in no branch of its commerce is there, in our opinion, so wide a field for honourable and successful com petition as in the Tea Trade; a• trade which, beyond all other branches of our imports, has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of all interested in its success, and whose history is alike interesting to the merchant, the financier, and the phi lanthropist; inasmuch as the moral effects resulting from the increased use of tea render it as important a consideration in all future schemes for the public benefit as it has hitherto been in the fiscal arrangement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or the speculations of the mercantile community. The discussion of the history of the Tea Trade, however, we have neither time nor space to pursue, but we may just observe, that, while for several years after its introduction, in 1660, the annual import did not exceed " one hundred and fifty pounds," such has been the increase in later times, that last year the quantity imported into London and Liverpool alone was nearly FIFTY MILLION POUNDS, yielding an aggregate revenue of upwards of FIVE MILLION POUNDS STERLING. The price at the time to which we refer being " SIXTY SHILLINGS PER POUND," placed it, of cou r se, beyond the increase its of any but the we a lthy ; an d a lth oug h, i n or d er t o its consumption, it was sold in a liquid state, and the duty, eightpence per gallon, levied upon it as upon other excisable liquors, yet the progress of it appears to have been very gra dual, for we find, upon reference to advertisements, still ex tant, of a spirited Tea Merchant, of 1709 (nearly fifty years after its introduction,) that the price still remained as high as 20s. per lb. ; and it remained for the enterprise of later times to develope the resources of China and the adaptation - of Tea w u,e WUlllb ui we innamtants of (great Britain ; a people who, above all other nations of the earth, are attached, happily, to fireside comforts, and who are ever ready to sacrifice mere out side splendour for those less dazzling, but more enduring, ele ments which constitute all expressed by that emphatically English word, " Home," and who are therefore disposed at all times to hail as benefactors those who, by " honourable com petition," place within their reach, an article so conducive to comfort as "TEA." Tea, the mere luxury of former times, is now not only a highly important, but an almost indispensable article of sub sistence; and from the prominent place which it occupies in the expenditure of most families, the power of procuring it IN ITS PURE STATE, of the BEST QUALITIES, and upon the st ECONOMY'' are et— moan. OMICAL TEit.,-, ....considerations not beneath the notice of any ; and are, we doubt not, duly appreciated by the inhabitants of Liverpool. The difficulty of procu prices in most provincial town .lava nlyt r ing good and pure Tea at moderate and cities, and, in fact, at any are UZA: ICit 111 IIIC 111CLIVI/Vl/. 9 iLUU ID, we think, mainly att r ib u t a bl e t o th e following causes :—The. very little attention paid by the generality of dealers to the se lection of those qualities most suited .for family use; to the long credit in many instances given; and to the very pernicious system adopted by many of selling Raw Sugars at a positive loss and charging .AN EXORBITANT PROFIT UPON TEA AND COFFEE; thus inflicting a positive injury upon one class of their customers, who purchase but little Sugar, and necessarily confining their own purchases of Tea to the ordinary or inferior kinds ; a fact notorious to every London Wholesale Dealer. Our long residence in London and connexion with the first Tea Establishment there gives us advantages, in the constant selection of suitable articles, possessed by few; and as we con template confining our trade to "Teas, Coffees, Spices, and Qugaz o, vut LLISLUIIICLS 11111 c.,upe tue injustice con nected with the present state of the Sugar Trade; and by ad hering to the ready money system, we shall be able to conduct our business upon a LOWER SCALE OF PROFIT than has hitherto prevailed in this town or neighbourhood. The following are the prices at which we can supply Teas suitable for various family puEposes:--. MACE TEAS. Good Congou, full flavour.. per lb.

VERY FINE CONGOU, at 45.," admirably adapted for all family purposes, and will be found, trial, suitable and agreeable to the taste of the great majority of the public; and the "FINEST CONGOU, at 4s. 4d.," ripe and mellow, and of the true Pekoe Souchong flavour, " the BEST BLACK TEA " that need be desired for any purpose. In Green Teas we re commend the " FINE HYSON. at 45.," "VERY FINE HYSON, at 55.," and "SUPERFINE HYSON, at ss. 4d." We shall, perhaps, be told that the prices quoted above do not differ greatly from those at present in operation in Liver pool. Of this we are well aware. but beg to remind those who object, that price, irrespective of quality, is no fair criterion at to cheapness; and that faw things are easier than to quote prices and annex characters and names, oftentimes the most absurd, and which, in many instances, have no other connexion with the articles sold than the place they occupy in the dealer's circular. Assertions such as we have made, and statements such as we have now set forth, are always, until proved, exposed to doubt and suspicion. In order, therefore, that their truth may be tested, we very respectfully and earnestly request "A TRIAL," the only mode of arriving at a fair conclusion. If, upon trial, our goods be found, as we feel confident they will, superior to those hitherto sold,. we are sure of a continuance of the patron age we seek; but, if not, we cannot reasonably expect, nor do we ask it. Without this test no one can fairly determine, and we are quite willing to stake our reputation upon the result. All purchasers of original packages, whether in the trade or not, will be allowed the customary "overweight " or "draft " of two lbs., sometimes more, on chests containing about eighty lbs., and one lb. on boxes from thirty to forty lbs.; and in order to meet the wishes of families residing at a distance, and whose consumption is not adequate to the purchase of an ori ginal package, we shall be willing to weigh up chests or half chests in parcels from single lbs. upwards; thus enabling several families to join in the purchase and afterwards divide the Tea. In such cases two lbs. "overweight" will be enclosed wite the chest of eighty lbs., and one lb. with the half-chest of forty lbs. We shall also have constantly on sale a variety of boxes and canisters of Tea of various sizes, suitable for FA MILIES; and DEALERS can either be supplied from our Stock in Liverpool or have Teas shipped direct from London, as they may prefer. COFFEE The ADULTERATION or this article appears on the in crease; the non-interference of the Government has had the effect we anticipated, that of lessening the consumption of the genuine commodity; for, with an increased demand, it appears from the statements issued by the Board of Trade, that the quantity of Coffee cleared for home consumption the first eight months of the present year was 1,557,568 less than the same period in 1848. This astounding fact proves the extent of adulteration, and the injury done both to the Importer and the Revenue. There is reason to believe that, notwithstandingthe low price of Chicory, that even this is mixed with DELETERIOUS SUBSTANCES as destructive to the public health as injurious to the fair trader. IT IS THEREFORE QUITE IMPOSSI BLE FOR THE PURCHASERS OF GROUND COFFEE TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DRINKING WiIEN THEY PARTAKE OF THE BEVERAGE. We, in common with every respectable House, advise the public only to purchase the Berry—THERE IS NO OTHER SECURITY. To those who wish to purchase Coffee in its NATIVE PURITY, in possession of its NATURAL AROMA AND FRAGRANCE, and at those ECONOMICAL PRICES which families who buy for Cash have a fair claim to expect, we re commend the following selection : Good Plantation Ceylon per lb. Is. od. FINE PLANTATION ls. 2d. recommended. Fine Jamaica, choice mountain flavour Is. 4d. Fine Mocha ls. 6d. CHOICE OLD MOCHA ls. Bd. recommended. Orders for any part of Liverpool, whether given at the Shop or brought to us by the post, will be delivered the same day. The money to be returned by the bearer. Orders from any part of LANCASHIRE or the NORTH OF ENGLAND, accompanied by a remittance, a Is:ink-order, or it respectable reference, will be exec u t e d w ith ou t delay. When. the references given with orders are satisfactory we shall not expect the cash to be forwarded until the goods are received and the quality tested ; but, as it must be obvious that our system of " small profits" will not admit of either " credit" or " rish", we expect that no improper delay in payment willtake place. . _ In order to prevent imposition by parties who may be sent for our Teas, &c., the price of each article will be marked on the inside wrapper of each parcel. We have now stated the leading features of our system of business, and, in conclusion, beg to remind all into w h ose hands this Address shall come, that their interest is concerned as well as ours, and, further, that, by competition, th e p u bli c at large are always benefitted : without it they have no safe. guard against imposition and those petty monopolies which enrich a few to the injury of the great bulk of the community. We commend these remarks to the candid consideration t the inhabitants of Liverpool, feeling confident in the prospect of ultimate and enduring success.
