J. P. takes this public opportunity of thanking his Friends and the Public for the favoured support he has received from them since his commencement in business, and bee to call their attention to his large Assortment of every description of BOOTS AND SHOES, adapted for the present season, most of which being his own manufacture, and got up under his own inspection, with the best quality of Workmanship and Materials, he feels confident that a trial will be sufficient to convince that his Establishment CANNOT be equalled for CHEAPNESS AND FASHIONABLE WORK.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—As Mr. Levi has been in formed bg several of his Patients that a person has been calling on several houses in Liverpool, and representing himself to some as Mr. Levi, and to others that he was sent by him, Mr. Levi thinks it but justice to the public, to acquaint them thal he has no connection with any such pre tenders, nor does he attend out of his residence rexcept by particular desire), neither will he be responsible for any accident that is likely to occur by employing such empirics. Mr. L. begs particularly to direct the attention of those who may be troubled with Corns, Bunions, 6.c., 6-c., to a para graph which appeared in the " LONDON MORNING POST," of November the 13th, where will be seen the dangerous re sults that may occur from unskilful treatment.

Mons. L. takes the present opportunity to return his grateful thanks for the extensive patronage and kindness he experienced during his former visits, and considers it his duty to state that various arrangements at his establishments in London and Paris will preclude the possibility of his revisiting this town for a very long period, so that those who may require his pro fessional services should not lose the present favourable oppor tunity. Monsieur Levi may be CONSULTED DAILY, for a short time only, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi dence, No. 34, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. Mons. L.

THE APOLLO SHIRT. CAUSE. It is generally admitted that amongst the various articles of clothing, there is nothing so difficult to procure as a perfect fit in Shirts ; in fact it is impossible, according to the pre sent mode of the shape and manufacture, that it should be otherwise;_ every movement of the body of the Shirt affects the position and cleanliness of the breast, even in the mere process of putting it on, as the body of the common Shirt is so intimately connected with the breast that the action cracks the starch, and lays the first foundation of creases and soiled lines; and when on, the action of the arms and ordinary movements of the person, without affecting the correct fit and appear ance of the breast, is quite unprovided for, from there being no firm line of demarkation between the breast and body, and also from its improper form. DISCOVERY. After the close attention and practical obser vance of several years to Shirt making, the subscriber feels confident in the merits of the discovery he is now offering to the public ; he has derived the name from the general resem blance which the shape of the breast bears to that classic and symbolic figure of antiquity, the Lyre of Apollo, the breast being in that form, is contained within a beautifully stitched and firm band, cut out of one piece of cloth entirely surrounding it and the collar; the band resting in fair balance on the neck and shoulders, acts upon the collar and breast in the same manner as a frame to a picture, ADVANTAGES.thus completely preventing the continual ac tion of the other parts of the Shirt, affecting the position of the breast in the slightest man ner, whilst the peculiar shape of the breast, forming an apex at the bottom, marks its pro per place, which, upon putting it on, it imme diately assumes and maintains; here the un necessary surplus length of plaits occasioned by the square bottom of the common Shirt is avoided, thus removing, in a great measure, one of the chief difficulties in fitting a Shirt. The indentation on the sides of the breast of the APOLLO SHIRT, allows complete room for the play of the arms and braces without interfering with the position of the breast, an object most unaccountably overlooked in all the Shirts at present in use,—in short, the most violent exercise may be resorted to, without hazarding the chance of removing the breast from the position it ought to maintain, ECONOMY. coupled with this advantage, that the APOLLO SHIRT, from its inability to crease, will be perfectly clean, when the common Shirt is completely soiled from the same amount of wear. In a Shirt that fits, the economy of wear must be self-evident ; with this is combined the BEST MATERIALS that money and judgment can select, whilst the prices charged for the APOLLO SHIRTS bear no relation to those charged for many qualities of the com mon Shirts in use. CAUTlON.—Parties imitating WAGGOTT'S APOLLO SHIRT will render themselves liable to prosecution. Prices, 6s. 6d., is. 6d., Bs. 6d. Inspection invited. J. WAGGOTT, SHIRT MAKER, HOSIER, GLOVER.

ROGERSON announces to the 'Ladies of Li- Tll verpool and its Vicinity, that, owing to the unprece dented mildness of the season in the months of November and December, his Stock being more than usually extensive at this season of the year, he has come to the conclusion of Reducing the whole to Cost Price, in order to effect a clearance of as much as possible, to make room for Spring Goods. The Furs are all of the best manufacture, and thoroughly seasoned. 13 and 15, Church-street, January 24, 1848. N.B.—An extensive and well-assorted Stock of Family Mourning, and Funerals conducted as usual. TO THE LADIES OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY. IN consequence of the unprecedented depression of Trade in all parts of the Kingdom, G. IRELAND, OF 92, BOLD-STREET, has come to the determination of Selling the whole of his valuable and extensively-assorted STOCK OF FURS, comprising every description of Skins that are imported, and manufactured into all the NEWEST AND MOST APPROVED PARISIAN AND LONDON FASHIONS AT PRICES CONSIDERABLY REDUCED. In inviting the Ladies to an inspection thereof, he does not wish to hold out any absurd inducement. He feels, however,, gratified in observing, that as he purchases his Skins precisely upon the same terms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also Mauufactures them, he obtains thereby an advanta e over the smaller purchaser, who merely retails them, and is enabled to charge much lower than they possibly can. The Establish ment is, moreover, exclusively devoted to the SALE of FURS; and the great extent and variety of the Stock will not be found surpassed in any Retail House in England. SABLE GOODS will this year be fully TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT. LOWER than similar Goods were last Season. To ALTERATIONS and REPAIRS it will always be his study to devote as much attention and care as if he was en gaged in the manufacture of new articles; and as he never trusts them to other than the most clever artisans the trade can produce, and takes every care that all the departments Obis House are under his own inspection, and on the premises,h s has the utmost security for the punctual and faithful execution of every order with which he may be entrusted.
