MR. BARRY SULLIVAN fa engaged for a Limited Number of Nights. THE REVIVAL OF MACBETH ! Acknowledged by the Press and the voice of the People to be the most perfect Artistic Representation ever given on the English Stage, will be repeated every Evening during the Week. The original Text of Shakspeare is carefully adhered to, and Two Scenes restored which are omitted from the usual Stage Representations. The valuable assistance of Mr. BARRY SULLIVAN Has been secured expressly for the character of Macbeth ; and Mrs. VICKERY, From the Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, wilt make her First Ap pearance in Liverpool, in the character of Lady Macbeth. THE VOCAL MUSIC, Usually attributed to Matthew Locke, but which antiquarian re search has proved to be the composition of John Eccles, will be retained, on account of its great beauty, character, and popularity, though not appertaining to the original text. The Instrumental accompaniments to the same are entirely re-arranged (and in part composed) by Thomas German Rued. The March of Macbeth's Army, the Bardic Music in the Banquet Scene, the Incantation Music in the Fourth Act, and the various charges and flourishes, oomposed and arranged expressly for this revival by EDWARD TITZWILLIAM. Previous to the Tragedy the Orchestra, under the direction of M. BUSHRZ (Musical Director), will perform the First Movement of Spohr's celebrated Overture to " Macbeth ;" and between the Acts the following classical Works, namely :—The Overture to Ruy Bias" (Mendelssolt n) ;" the Overture to " Der Berggheist" (Spohr) ; the " Marcia Funebre," from the " Eroica Sinfonia" (Beethoven); and the "Grand SCEN Triumphal March," by F. Ries. TH E E RY, Designed entirely by Mr. DEARLOVE, jun., and Painted by him, assisted by Mr. GEORGE DAwsom. The Architecture previous to the Norman Conquest has been adopted. Dating the five centuries which preceded that event many Castles and Churches had been erected of considerable im portance; the buildings excelled in Ironwork, and were frequently ornamented with Colour. THE COSTUMES By Mr. and Mrs. JEFFRIES. The very uncertain information possessed respecting the Dress worn by the inhabitants of Scotland in the eleventh century, renders the attiring of the characters is Macbeth a task of very great difficulty. The nobles and common people wore mantles of one sort, long and flowing, and shaggy rugs. The nobles wore mantles of varie gated colours; the common people mantles of a brown colour, near to the colour of heather. They wore no stockings, but botines, made of the skins of deers or othtr animals. Many of the Scotch went with bare heads, allowing their hair to grow very long. The Scottish female habit consisted of a long robe, girdled round the waist, with a full and flowing mantle, denominated the THE ARMOUR AND WEAPONS. By Mr. BROMLEY. The ancient Scottish weapons were the spear, the battle-axe, the bow, and the sword, (cleadheamh-more.) Their defensive armour—a shirt of ring mail, and round targets covered with bull's hide, and studded with nai:s. and bosses of brass or iron. The eagle feather in the helmet was the distinguishing mark of a chieftain. The armour of the Eng;ish forces is copied from the Bayeux tapestry. THE MACHINERY, Which is of a most elaborate description, has been made under the direction of Mi. B. :JONES. The Stage Business directed by Mr. F. L. VILLIERS; and the whole of the arrangements, and mice-en•acene, produced under the personal superintendence of Mr. W. R.

A SPINALL'S EAST INDIA PALE ALE AND BITTER ALE. 'Pins fine-flavoured and much-esteemed ALE, so largely in demand during the Christmas of 1851, Christmas 1852, and Christ mas 1553 and 1834, is again in fine condition for Christmas 1855; in Casks of 9, IS, and 36 Gallons—strong or mild. Orders should be sent early to the Anchor Brew Ty, Birkenhead, or to the Liverpool Stores, Walmer-' , Mblings, Water-street, and Rumford-street, near the Exchange, Liverpool. Dr. Brett's Opinion of Aspinail's Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale, brewed at the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead. "Laboratory, Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, Dec., 1852. " I have, at the request or Mr. H. K. Aspinall, of the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead, suhinitted to a careful chemical exarnina. tion three descriptions of Beer, called respectively Pre.don Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale. lam decidedly of opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no other ingredients than those found in pure malt liquors. They have been very well fermented, and consequently do not contain any amount of unfermented sugar, frequently found in some descriptions of Ale ; and being also free from any excess of mucita• ginous matters capable of acting as ferments, they are remarkably bright, and retain that brightness to the sat Several medical friends of mine have expressed a very favourable iminioa as re ;aria their quality. " R. H. BRETT, Ph. D., F.LS., "And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence." Dr. Sheridan Muspratt'a opinion of Aspinall'sPale Ale and Preston Pans Beer. " Liverpool, Dec. 12th, 1854. " Dear Sir,—Having undertaken, at your request, a research upon your different Beers, videlicit—East India Pale Ale, Mild Pale Ale, India Pale Ate, Preston Pans Beer, I feel happy in for warding you the annexed results. The sifting nature of the chemical examination to which your Malt Liquors have been subjected, establishes their incontestible purity; they do not contain a particle of any injurious substance. 1 must confess I was not a little surprised to find that such excellent Beers were brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. It proves in a most satis factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection of the best kind of Hops and Malt, and that you possess great scientific skill in conducting the several important stages through which these have to pass. I was very much struck with the India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bright, sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent tonic, and, I am sure, will be relished by all those seeking an agreeable and beneficial anodyne bitter, which tends to preserve the vigour of the stomach, and conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of the health of that organ, when debilitated. Your Preston Pans Beer is a very nice ligi,t beverage, having a peculiar but fine flavour, which must be greatly relished by many families. The I East India Pale Ale and the Mild Pale Ale arc like the above well fermented, and made from the beat and most wholesome in gredients, therefore are sure to command popularity. In con cluding, I am glad to tell you that, having now tasted your Ales, I shall in future use them in my house, as they are fully equal to any I have analysed.-1 am, Sir, yours resctfully. "SHERIDAN MpeUSPRATT, " Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. " Professor of Chemistry." The demand for this fine-flavoured ALE is greatly on the in crease, Merchants, Bottlers, and Hotelkeepers finding it equal in flavour, colour, and quality to the finest Barton-brewed Ales, and at Prices very considerably less than any similar Ale now on the market. It is warranted to keep sound in cod or Bottle for years, and never changes its brilliancy or colour. It improves by long keeping.

"Sir,—Please to send me another quarterbarrel of Preston Pans Beer, directing it, as be/ore, per B. L. and C. Railway, to Frodsham. "The barrel which I have now on draught is giving every satisfaction, continuing quite sound and brisk, though it has now been more than six weeks on draught. I use a vent-peg, which closes of itself, with a spring, so that the beer cannot be left ex posed to the air through the carelessness of servants. "I suppose you do not require that empty caske should always be returned literally within three months, for this I could not always do, as a quarter-barrel generally lasts from eight to ten weeks on draught, and I like to have it on the stillion fora couple of weeks before I begin to use it.

The attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates :) " Liverpool. December Bth, 1854. " We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very highly satisfactory experiments at AI ilners' Phoenix Safe Works, proving the perfect security of their newly-patented `Gunpowder proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the same open with gunpowder ; the door of another safe, experi mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock, although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-bole.— Win.

The most extensive and complete in the world, employing from two to three hundred hands, assisted by powerful, original, and elaborate machinery and implements, adapted for every branch of the work; established for carrying out the important improve ments under Milners' Quadruple Patents to the interior and ex terior of their Holdfast and Fire -resisting Safes, and for supply ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery, or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consistent with the most perfect efficiency and security. CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities— the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three Lists, namely, Shiners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 2, at 10s. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List N 0.4, at 205. per foot. The public are deceived by comparisons being made between the prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi i lity of slling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear at any p e rice.

CURE OF 29 YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH. Middleton, near Manchester. SIR.—I am now 44 years of rge, and I have been afflicted with an asthmatic cough since I was a boy of fifteen years of age; during that time 1 have resorted to every means in my power to remove it, but in vain, until last Sunday, when I sent for a small box of Dr. Locock's Wafers. I have taken two boxes since, and from the effects they have had upon me, I feel no doubt of a speedy recovery. G. STRINGER. Witness—M. Lynch, Chemist, Market-street. RAPID CURE OF ASTHMA OF 14 YEARS' STANDING. From Mr. J. E. Bignell, Hoilybead Road, Wednesbury, and ad dressed to Mr. Ladbury, there. SlR,—When I had the first box of Dr. Locock's Wafers from you, I was labouring under one of those attacks of asthma to which I have been subject new for about 14 years. I have had the best medical advice the neighbourhood could afford, including two physicians at Birmingham, and one at Wolverhampton. but with no success. My breathing was so very difficult that 1 ex pected every inspiration to be my last ; as for sleep, that was im possible, and had been so for several weeks. The first dose (pnly two small wafers) gave me great relief—the second more so—in short, the first box laid the groundwork for the cure, which only four boxes have effected, and I am now quite (Signed) J. E. BIONELL. IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING. From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington. Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr. Lccock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re sort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PACIE. To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKRRS they are invaluable, as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

It having been reported to the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, by the Local Marine Board of this Port, that the CRIMPAGE SYSTEM prevails to a very great extent at Liverpool, subjecting Seamen not only to a direct charge, ranging from Half-a-crown to Ten Shillings, but also to other gross im positions, their Lordships have DETERMINED to adopt every means in their power to nut a stop to a system detrimental to every interest connected with the MERCANTILE MARINE. but especially to that of the SEAMAN.
