IRELAND, OF 92 , BOLD-STREET, 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 durin ' e years, which has enabled him to offer for their appro e LARGEST RETAIL STO OF FURS IN THE KIN OM, Comprising every Descripti , and all the Novelties that have yet Feared in the LONDON PARISIAN MARKFTS. In inviting the es to an inspection thereof, he does not wish to hold out a absurd inducement. He feels, however, gratified in obse ng, 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, more•ver, 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 departments of his house are under his own inspection, and on the Premises, he has the utmost security for punctual and faithful execution of every order with which he may be entrusted.

About ten years ago I bad a small lump formed in my left c k, which continued increasing, and became very painful. had been under several eminent doctors, without benefit. last I was advised to have it cut out. A while after the o ation it began to grow again, and it was cut out a second t* e, and afterirards a third time. The lump again grew. Th I was keened for sixty or seventy times; but all to no pu ose. The lump became a regular ulcerated cancer, spre ing over the whole of my cheek. I then heard of Dr. Po , Tranmere,.Cheshire. I went to him, and he told me he w uld cure me without cutting, but it would take a little time. ccordingly he did cure me, and I have now the satisfaction to say that I am perfectly well, and my face is free from pain and blemish. Thanks be to Almighty God for his mercies. All who are affected with cancer, should, without delay, apply to Dr. Port. "JAMES SIMMONDS, Farmer, Longton, near Preston."

B Grate Manx* 67; SIR TH' TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PETER'S WARD. GENTEEMEN, rfiHE unanimous expression of a Public Meeting of my Fellow-Wardsmen, of all parties, inviting me to offer myself as your REPRESENTATIVE in the TOWN COUNCIL, at the ensuing Election, I regard alike as a high honour, and a call to public duty, which dema y grateful acknowledg ment and respectful considerati . I cannot fail to recognise fully appreciate the special rea sons which have influenc your choice on this occasion. and which have led to the pression of all party considerations ; and, on the part of any of you, to the waiving in my favour of other and str claims on your support. It has been n y duty, officially, to occupy a prominent posi tion in recent movements on important questions deeply af fecting your interests as Rate-payers, viz., the Supply of Water for the Borough, the Rating of the Dock and Corporate Estates, and the general principles of Nrtional and Local Taxation. My opinions and conduct on these subjects were, therefore, already before you, and were sufficiently decided to elicit any difference of opinion that may exist respecting them. I cannot, therefore, but regard your invitation, and the unanimity with which it has been conveyed, as the strongest expression of your approval of the course I have taken, and as an indication of your wish that I should pursue the same course in the more extended and important sphere of the Council Chamber. Believing it to be the privilege of every faithful citizen to aid in promoting the interests of the community, according to the measure of his ability and opportunity, and that existing cir cumstances give a specialty to your claim upon my services, I feel I should be unworthy this expression of your confidence if I did not respond to your call, by placing myself in your hands, resolving, if elected, to discharge my duty faithfully and fear lessly. _ I regard it to be the duty of your Representatives in the Town Council to manage, for the benefit of the Burgesses at large, the immense and valuable Corporate and Dock Estates of this town—their property—with the most rigid economy, con sistent with efficiency; and, in their administrative and legis lative functions, to respect equally, and promote impartially, the rights, privileges, and interests, of every class of the com munity. I hold that all necessary taxation should be equitably dis tributed, to render its oppressive weight at all tolerable by the trading community ; and, therefore, that the Dock and Corpo rate Estates should be assessed to local rates. I shall cheerfully aid in maturing and carrying into operation all measures which tend to elevate the moral, and ameliorate the social condition of my fellow-creatures. I shall also feel hound to reflect, in the Town Council, the opinions of my constituents, on questions which they may consider of such importance as to require a decided and general expression of their wishes. I regard with pride and veneration the principles of the Bri tish Constitution, and the Institutions which have sprung out of them, the value of which is but more surely demonstrated by every fresh occasion on which they are tested. And lam convinced that the truest conservation of those institutions consists in the gradual eradication of any abuses which the en larged experience and progressive character of our age may from time to time demand. Should these views meet with your sympathy and approval, I am willing, if it be your pleasure, to give them practical ef fect in the Town Council ; if, on the contrary, they do not ac cord with yours, I shall be content to advocate them within the limits of my present sphere. I remain, Gentlemen, faithfully yours, JOHN FERGUSON. Liverpool, September 25, 1848. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY, &c. &c. MY LORD, OUR high official position, your well-known ur banity, your long professed attachment to the cause of civil and religious liberty, your influence both as a nobleman and statesman, your ample experience of the genius of your countrymen, and your insight into the tendencies of the present movements over the length and breadth of Europe, all concur in determining me to address you on a mattt , r of no small magnitude to the interests of the youliartef this great country, and, through them, to those of .orn generations ; and if further apology be needed, I fi, tin the fact that, some time since, you honoured me wit 1 interview, as part of a deputa tion, to remonstrate, in • name of myriads, against the Mi nutes of Council on • 'cation. The evils which I then point ed out to your lord p, as likely to flow from the influence of those minutes o .ur Village Schools, and especially in those stations with ich, as Treasurer of the Home Missionary Society, I am fully conversant, have been seriously realised. The predicted hostility to the liberties of the poorer classes, if they are found among the ranks of Dissenters from the Na tional Church, of a system which plays into the hands of the opulent, and increases the power of unscrupulous partizans of the hierarchy, has been fulfilled. The foreseen seductions of a system which adds to the resources of the rich, in exact pro portion to their wealth, and increases the means of bribery in the hands of those who have the predisposition to allure the poor and the unsuspecting from the instruction to which they are conscientiously attached, have been witnessed in many a hamlet and village, and have become historical facts. Our de voted Missionaries, who are labouring to dispel the superstition and ignorance amidst which the clergy of the richly-endowed. Church have in most instances left the rural poor, have to con tend not only against those mental evils, but also against the material advantages which the clergy and their coadjutors are enabled to offer. an.cl the refusal to accept of which they threaten comp..., /al Chat. oi7lll. Out inlbaltma— ries and teachers touch not, and will not touch, the national resources in doing the work of mind, of truth, and of God, which others have neglected, they should be continually ham pered and thwarted in their benevolent enterprise, by the very parties who greedily receive the nation's money, and so fre quently employ it to the injury of justice. liberty, and peace. We complain that those consiste n t Dissenters who refused to accept the grant, and who thereby evinced faith in their che rished principles, should be subjected to increased discourage ments by parties who had no such principles to cherish, and no such scruples of conscience to prohibit them from accepting the Government largess. But, my Lord, our sufferings have not resulted in inaction, nor are our complaints intended to prepare the way for a retreat from our 'vantage ground. No I assure your Lordship, in the name of multitudes, that whilst we consider our principles infinitely stronger than the com bined power of the Nationid Church, the National School, and National Money, instead of retreating from the conflict, we mean to rely still more implicitly on the power of that truth. the diffusion of which is our sore object, and on the virtues of that Voluntaryism which it is fashionable to decry among the ranks with which your Lordship associates. And although the influence of the Tractarian party, from which your Lordship has already experiencod some little trouble, has introduced a new element of opposition to the evangelical labours of our Home Missionaries, yet the decided improvement in 500 vil lages and hamlets, the result of the labours of those opposed Missionaries, affords practical demonstration that the Volun tary principle contrasts most advantageously with the cum brous machinery of State interference. I believe most so lemnly that the; best and wisest way to evangelize the rural population and to educate the children of England, would be to withdraw all national resources from every party now re ceiving them, and to throw the people on the illimitable re sources of untaxed benevolence. At all events, it is our settled determination not to receive the aid of the Government ; for. apart from our principles, which are dearer to us than policy, we believe it will be found ultimately that that "aid" is an in cumbrance. We prefer our freedom, and are resolved to retain it. It may not perhaps have escaped your Lordship's memory that the Committee of the Sunday School Union made a repre sentation, similar to that to which I have already alluded, to your Lordship's noble coadjutors, but without practical effect; for although the noble President is the friend of the liberties of the humbler classes, and the friend of justice, and assured the Committee of the deep anxiety he felt to protect their schools against the arbitrary regulations of the National School, yet it was evident there was a concealed power working against them in opposition to which his Lordsh i p h a d attempted to contend in vain. It is true that the Sunday School Union have admitted the principle for which your Lordship argues, and against which we have repeatedly protested. But the defence of our princi ples is not weakened ; nor are the facts which justify our oppo sition to the Government scheme lessened, by the defalcation of parties on whose co-operation we might have counted. I remind you, my Lord, of these steps in your remarkable nro-endowmentpoiicy ; a policy which has already created discord and division at home and in the colonies, and which threatens our Colonial Missionaries and Mission stations with increasing danger • and a policy which, if persisted in, (allow me to add with all danger; will place England in the rear instead of the van of European nations. And now, my Lord, it is reported over the length and breadth of the land, that your next purpose is to seize the first favour able moment for the public endowment of a priesthood whose system was denounced by your Royal Mistress, our gracious Queen, as superstitious and idolatrous, when she ascended the throne of these Protestant realms. It is certain that your po licy has long pointed to this consummation • but still the pro ject appears so incredible, that but for its publici announcement, it would not have been believed. You, my Lord, about to en dow Popery, to patronize the disciples of Loyola, to invite a system fraught with death to the civil cnered liluarti., of the people, and to tax the oyez: : oiythened nation to sell those libehieritO the hoary fee of all that is great and good in hu manity, and soul-stirring in Christianity, and precious in free inquiry and liberty of conscience? Is this to be the climax of your political career, the acme of your fame, the crowning deed in your public life ? A member of the noble house of Bedford, whose historical associations are identified with the struggles of England for constitutional freedom, to appear, during the high noon of the nineteenth century, when the nations of Europe are throwing off the crushing . yoke of politico-ecclesiastical esta blishments, as the champion, patron, and endower of Popery ? My Lord, the name of Russell is not only historical, but you are yourself an historian, ;and without asking you who were the most inveterate foes of liberty and civilization during the long night of darkness, or who built the Inquisitions of Italy, and persecuted by fire and sword those great and holy men who, in the dawn of the Reformation, gave their ashes as the seeds of civil privileges and religious freedom, to be scattered on the soil of our common fatherland—great and holy men who, with a daring for truth and God, for the rights of man and the ho nour of Jesus Christ, leaped in the breach where a Roman Curtius would have trembled, between ecclesiastical tyranny and national oppression ;—I say, instead of asking you these questions, I will merely ask you how it will read in the pages of the future historian, that Lord John Russell re-established Po pery in the nineteenth century ? My Lord I beseech you tO think again —think seriously—think long, before yon submit the odious propisition to the Commons of England. In the event of such a proposition, the overthrow of the Ministry of which you are the head is certain ; but this were a small matter compared with the calamities to the rising generation which your success would inevitably produce. But no ! success is impossible ! Nevertheless, the attempt will arouse against the political existence of the statesman who makes it a storm such as the present generation has not witnessed. The Protestant people of these lands will lift up their voices like the roll of mighty thunderings, as in the days of your ancestors; and, as in the experience of the House of Brunswick, the Protestant 2n a D o o i y s ,sOO Lord,e Dissenters e o r i s am w s y i a l fl Sundaye r l a l o l r te o as u ce n hi eorotslh teacherew T h ho r h o a n veoef; chargea la n r d I ge e c ox a fp n et the i e ee r nr t iecfleyi religious ua u s education of 2,030,000 of Britain's t, i sons and daughter's, and who love them too well to hand them over to the tender mercies of Popery—which you must endow in England as well as in Ireland—will arise to push you from office, and to request you to retire to private life, on the day in which you so far forget yourself as to propose to Parliament your plan for an addi tional Church Establishment in this kingdom, which is fettered and injured by too many already.
