HODGSON'S ROOMS, 50, CHURCH-STREET, LIVERPOOL. MR. HODGSON (AUCTIONEER and APPRAISER) respectfully invites the attention of the Public to his SPLENDID Establishment, 50, CHURCH-STREET, which is allowed to be the most extensive in Liverpool, and excelled by few in the Metropolis; the Mart thus affording to purchasers the best opportunity of securing HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND EFFECTS ON THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS, as every article which domestic comfort can require or wealth command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite variety. The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for the display of every description of Coods. In measurement the first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by 20 feet. and the two Anti-rooms each 70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spa cious Warehouse contiguous, which having the advantage of being on the ground floor, are better calculated for Sales of H OUSE H OLD FURNITURE, Manufacturers' STOCKS, GLASS, CHINA, &c.

His long experience in the business he submits as a guarantee for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may have occasion to purchase, that the prac tice too frequently adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by unskilled artificers, is in many cases attended with an immense pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious loss eventually, from inattention to the material by the manufacturer. Among the Stock of FASHIONABLE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE will be Generally found a superior description of SUPERB DRAWING-ROOM SUITES of real and imitation Rosewood ; comprised in Card, Loo, Work, Flower, and other Tables, Chairs, Couches.

TIPTON, 4, Everton Crescent. Office for Patents and Designs and Commercial Agency, September 1, 1843. CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, FURNISHING ARCHITECT, CABINET MANU FACTURER, Src., AVING, in consequence of a Dissolution of Part nership, given up that branch of his business which consists in keeping ready-made Furniture for Sale, re spectfully announces to the Gentry of Liverpool, that he has REMOVED from Lord-street, and taken an Office, No. 44, RENSHAW-STREET, and that it is his intention to keep up his Stock of well-seasoned Timber, and to manufacture to order as before. Wishing to cultivate principally the first class of inte rior Furnishing and Decoration, he proposes to supply Plans and full Sets of Drawings, made expressly for the places intended, and in perfect accordance with their ar chitectural character; and he is confident those Gentle men who may favour him with their future Orders will, by this system, have better choice, and more varied and correct designs, than they could possibly obtain from see ing and purchasing out of a ready-made Stock. To the numerous Friends who favoured the late Firm of Robinson and Holme with their support, he and his late Partner tender their grateful thanks. All accounts of the late Firm of Robinson and Holme will be paid and received by Christopher Robinson. Office, 44, Renshaw-street ; and Fishergate, Preston.

THOMAS DOWNWARD, TAILOR AND DRAPER, 20, TARLTON-STREET, WISHES to impress upon the minds of all purchasers that, if they study ECONOMY in DRESS, he now offers an advantage rarely to be met with. He has re solved, from conviction, to solicit the support of the Public ; in doing which he begs to lay before them a sketch of what he believes to be the present position of the Trade, in which he has been for a number of years engaged, and the absolute necessity of some change in the system hitherto pursued in this business : the opening of this Establish ment is the result. It must, therefore, be obvious to all, that an Establishment which shall combine all the requi sites of Style, Quality, and Workmanship, of the first houses, at moderate prices, would furnish a desideratum in the trade. The advertizer feels assured that he can offer to the public all these advantages, by the introduc tion of the principle of Cash Payments for every article which he makes. Every garment produced by him will be made by first-class workmen only ; none others will be employed. T. D. will be prepared to offer the best Black Dress Coat, average size, for £3; made from a quality of cloth of a fineness rarely used. He can offer a First-rate Coat for £2 14s. These garments, in Cut, Style, and Work manship, shall be equal to those produced by the most Fashionable Houses. If it should be asked how all the requisites of Style, Quality, and Workmanship can be fur nished at such prices, so strikingly different from those existing, the answer is simple. Let any gentleman select from a respectable Woollen Draper a coat length of the best West of England Wool-dyed Black Cloth, say, for an average size, one yard and three-quarters, at 235. per yard ; then add the Makings, as below, and the question is answered. In closing this brief sketch of the subject, he begs to say he does no more, and professes to do no more than any respectable house can do by adopt ing the same method of business; his object being not to cover deception by flaming profession, but to take unoccupied ground upon the true merits of the question. The Advertiser would call particular atten tion to the Making-up Department, as bearing tes timony to the true character of this Establishment, which is to offer advantages hitherto denied to the public by the first-class traders. Where is the individual who has not many times experienced the difficulty of having his own materials made up with any approach to fit and style, owing to the fact that fashionable Tailors object to making up any cloth but that furnished by themselves? True they do occasionally make up a garment for a customer as a favour, but do not generally cultivate this important branch of the business. Many respectable Woollen Dra pers in town regularly keep stocks, which, for extent and variety, no Tailor would be justified in keeping, where any Gentleman may select articles of novelty, and quality of the first manufacture. These houses, buying at short terms and selling principally for cash, can offer their goods to the purcl aser at very low prices. That gentlemen who would rather select their Materials for Dress where there is abundant choice and reasonable prices, do not avail themselves of the advantage to a ,4 greater extent, arises from the before-mentioned difficulty of meeting with a Tailor to do justice to their Earments; many submitting to an 01'""' bc rather than run the probable risk of misfits. rhe advertiser feeling fully the extent of the public wants in this respect, is resolved to supply the deficiency in the trade which has so long ex isted ; he earnestly solicits the support of the Public in carrying it into effect. He is determined that every gar ment brought to him to make shall receive the same at tention in every particular as those where the material is furnished by himself. The Customer finding his own Cloth, may, therefore, calculate as certainly upon the fit and style of his Garment as though he ordered it entire from a first-rate House and paid the highest price for it. Gentlemen intending to furnish their own material may, upon application, be informed what lengths they require for each garment. The prices charged for making are as below ; all quotations are for cash on delivery : Dress Coat making Trowsers do. .. Vest do. TEA ES'FABLISHMENTS No. 8, DALE-STREET, and No. 2, BOLD-STREET, EIVERPOOL. HOLLIS, WALFORD AND Co. PROPRIETORS. TN addition to the ordinary design of a Circular, namely, to give information as to the prices and the prospects of I the Trade, the satisfactory duty now devolves upon the Proprietors of announcing the extension of their arrange ments for supplying the Public with Tea, by adding a BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT at the North End, and Cen tral Commercial Deli& of the Port of Liverpool, situated at the TOP OF DALE-STREET, (adjoining Messrs. Moss and Company's Banking House, and nearly opposite the Exchanoe,) which will be Opened on SATURDAY, the 26th August, 1813, in addition to their original Premises, at No. 2, BOLD-STREET. They have been impelled to this, not merely by the prospect of thereby increasing their business, but in deference to the wishes and convenience of a large number of the principal and leading Mercantile Houses, who have all along supported their first undertaking, though the locality mentioned has been hitherto at a comparatively inconvenient distance from the general centre of their business. They cannot but consider this as one of the proudest features of their general success, as MERCHANTS THEMSELVES, AND OTHERS devoted to commercial pursuits, are naturally the best qualified to judge of the merits of establishments which aspire to EXTENSIVE PUBLIC PA TRONAGE, and they now seek to enlarge this connexion, which is at once their test and testimony by adding con venience of situation to their other pretensions. With regard to the general position of the Tea Trade, the principal features of SUPPLY AND DEMAND, have latterly required more than ordinary watching, the prospect of abundance being sometimes more than counterbalanced by the possibility of scanty shipments. Advices which have now been received of the particulars of every cargo "in transitu," and in course of loading at Canton, (the only Chinese port as yet open,) these assure us of ample quan tity, (though to arrive late,) exhibiting, however, a great falling off in the more acceptable qualities of Green,—say Young Hysons, Imperial, and Gunpowders :—to obtain earliest information of these particulars, and at the same time to be prepared to meet the emergency should extensive purchases be required, are the fundamental requisites of substantially LEADING ESTABLISHMENTS, and to this capacity we lay SOLID CLAIM. [Gunpowder Teas have advanced at least 6d. per lb. within the last three months; fine Ouchain or Young Hysons, and Pekoes, about 3d. per lb. ; but should even this advance be doubled, which is not improbable, the present bonded stock belonging to this firm will enable them to supply, even an enlarged connection, on the same terms as in the most favourable part of the year's engagements. The finer descriptions of Black Tea also, combining all that can be required for strength and flavour, will be shorter and shorter in each succeeding cargo to arrive through the remain der of the season, and against this contingency ample provision has been promptly made. It may be well to observe, that the finest descriptions of Green Teas, and THE CHOICEST SCENTED ORANGE PEKOE have advanced in value on the market, yet some of our pretending competitors have presumed, in the face of this fact, to announce a Reduction of sixpence per pound on these identical qualities. Of course these absurd advertisements find their own level, and the parties by whom th e y are i ssue d are l owere d i n proport i on i n t h e estimation of those who have proved the falsity of their exaggerated statements. The principle which governs such systems of business we do not pretend to fathom ; they can only be understood by the parties themselves. The finest scented Orange Pekoe cannot be bought under ss. 2d. per p oun d : th ose w h o s t a t e o th erw i se k now no thi ng o f ma rkets beyond the published records of London public sales. We do not accuse these worthies of wilful misrepre sentation, as not one house in fifty ever see the choicest specimens, which are bought up by our agents immediately on arrival. In corroboration of this we shall be happy to show specimens, which we consider perfectly matchless. We respectfully solicit favourable attention from the inhabitants of Cheshire and the North End of Liverpool in favour of our new Establishment, and with CONFIDENCE and satisfaction refer you to our past assertions and performances, as a guarantee for our future course.
