IRELAND, OF 92, BOLD-STREE B EGS most respectfully to inform the Ladies of Liverpool that his STOCK OF FURS, FOR THE SEASON, IS NOW READY ; At the same time he returns his sincere 'thanks for the distin guished patronage he has received during nine years, which has enabled him to offer for their approval the LARGEST RETAIL STOCK OF FURS IN THE KINGDOM, Comprising every Description, and all the Novelties that have yet appeared in the J,ONDON OR PARISIAN NIARKITS 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 on the same terms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also Manufactures them, he obtains thereby an advantage 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 the Kingdom. SABLE GOODS will this year be FULLY TWENTY 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 engaged in the manufacture of new articles : and as he never trusts them to other than the most clever arti sans the trade - can produce, and takes every care that all the the Premises, he has the utmost seciiiiyFol: punctual ak faithful execw entrusted. every order with Which - he may CONSTANT SUPPLY OF FILTERED WATER, SMITH AND STURGES' PATENT, ATTACHED, SELF-CLEANSING WATER FILTER.

AS the EQUITABLE RATING COMMITTEE appointed by the Inhabitants, in GENERAL VESTRY assembled on Easter Tuesday last, we desire, at the present moment, to address our Fellow Parishioners a few remarks on a subject which immediately affects . the interests of every ratepayer and every owner of property in the town. We refer with satisfaction to the efforts which have been made during the present year to reduce the pressure of Local Taxation, by endeavouring to render those two gigantic pro perties, the Dock Estate and the Corporate Estate, contributary to Local Burdens. We could not see the justice of the Liverpool Docks, which may be called the Marine Highways for the Commerce of the World, and which notoriousiy collect large masses of the la bouring Poor to their quays, and in the same ratio create Pau perism, exempted from contributing to the sunnort of the Poor, without taking peremptory measures to remedy the evil. If the Docks add, as unquestionably they do, to the burdens of the Parish, every principle of fairness shows that they ought to contribute to the funds of the Parish. When the East Indian, the South American, or any other Merchant sends his produce to Liverpool, it is properly subjected to certain Dock Dues, to defray the expenses incurred for the safety and accommodation of that produce • and equally right and just is it that the same produce should contribute to the support of that Poor which are thrown on the Parish Funds by the casualties arising from a cessation of employmei rishioners have borne mor to save the pockets, not only of the importing Merchant, lid of the various persons scattered over the three Kingdoms, who consume the multitudinous articles which every tide and every wind waft to our port. We consider it to be an unfounded apprehension that the imposition of a penny on a ton of Sugar, or a halfpenny on a bale of Cotton, for Parochial purposes, would injure the trade of the Port. Such a Tax, although it would greatly relieve the Ratepayers of the town, is in itself so infinitesimal that it would not be felt by the parties who use the Docks, or the mil lions of persons who consume the produce which they contain. Liverpool in fact owes its greatness to its locality, backed as it is by the manufacturing districts. When it is remembered that during the last year the enormous sum of .e 40,000 has been sacrificed in the reduction of Dock Rates, and this too without materially adding to the tonnage of the Port, opposition to Parochial Rates on this property surely comes with a bad grace from its rresent source. Hardly less important than the Rating of the Docks, is the Rating of the Corporate Estate. Like the Docks, all Corporate Estates elsewhere pay Parish Rates, and this town would have been in the same position, if the then municipal authorities of the town had not cleverly contrived, without the knowledge of the Parishioners, to introduce a clause into the Municipal Amendment Act, exempting the Corporate Property situated within the old Borough from being so rated. The absurdity as well as the injustice of the present state of things will be best exemplified by stating this astounding fact, that, if the Town Hall, the Sessions House, or the Public Offices were situated in Kirkdale, in Toxteth Park, or in any of the Townshi )s corn- prising with the parish, the present Borough, they would be legally liable to Parish Rates, but being within the Parish, they are, through the instrumentality of the clause now referred to, exempt. We leave these facts is speak for themselves. The Municipal Election is approaching. The decision rests with the Rate payers. The Town Council has affirmed the . principle we now contend for, by a majority so small, that it can hardly be deemed to have triumphed, and unless public opinion is brought strongly to bear on the question, so as to insures good working majority in the Council. all the exertions which have been hither to made may be frustrated for a time. The enmity with which the new movement is viewed by certain interested parties, shows that the opposition will be strong, although ultimately it must prove unavailing. The fact that the Local Rates will be reduced nearly one.half by the success of the battle which the Parish is now fighting, is surely sufficient to rouse the dor mant energies of the Ratepayers on the First of November. The thousands of houses which are now tenantless, the inmates of which have crossed the river or gone beyond the town to escape the existing pressure of taxation will be again occupied. We wish to state, in conclusion, that we are not partizans; we appear, not as the supporters or the opponents of any of the Candidates for Municipal honours ; but viewing the question as it affects the welfare of the town, we have a zealous interest in the success of the Candidates who will heartily co-operate with us in the objects for which we are struggling—namely, to equalise, as far as possible, Parochial Taxation, and to pre vent it from pressing with undue severity on any particular class.

RAILWAY DEPRECIATION, AT a MEETING, held this day , in the Star Hotel, Glasgow, of Parties interested in ENGLISH and SCOTCH RAILWAYS and other JOINT-STOCK PROPERTY, WILLIAM BROWN 2 Esq• in the Chair, It teas unanimously Resolved, lst,—That in the opinion of this Meeting there exists, at present, an undue depreciation in the value of Railway and other Share Property, arising from the recent too rapid exten sion of the Railway System and the vague apprehension of an extent of obligations undertaken by various Railway Compa nies beyond what prudence would justify. 2d,—That, in order to restore the just confidence of the public, in such investments, it is important that an Association should be formed for the purpose of ascertaining and making public, either directly or through the Shareholders of the respective Lines, the real facts as to the existing engagements of the Railway Companies—the period over which their future Calls can be distributed—and the power which they possess of either abandoning altogether or postponing the construction of Linea of Railway in progress or not yet commenced. 3d,—That this Meeting do now form themselves into an As sociation for this purpose; that a Committee be appointed with power to carry out the objects specified in the foregoing Resolutions ; and that Mr. H. Guthrie Wright, late of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, be requested to act as Honorary Secretary to the Association. 4th, —That the hearty co-operation of the Railway Boards is to be expected in thus putting the Public in pos sess i on o f t h e above facts, and in entering into such arrangements as shalt curtail to the utmost the demand on the Shareholders for fur ther Calls ; and that Deputations of the Association ought to wait upon the Directors for that purpose. sth,--That this Meeting respectfully suggests to Shareholders in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and other places, the pro priety of forming similar Associations. - 6th,—That these Resolutions be published in the noes and such other newspapers as the Committee may direct (Signed) I WILLIAM BROWN, Chairman.
