ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.— Under the patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy throughout Europe, and universally preferred and esteemed. The successful results of the last half century have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL pos sesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—cleanses it from scurf and dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the beard ? whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios it is unfailing in its stimulat s rm iv fo eop i e o r g at th io e n. ba F si o s r o C f h a ildren beauti ful head 01 hair.

The recent very abundant arrivals of TEA in England have chiefly consisted of the inferior and medium descriptions, the imports of which have been greatly in excess of those of any former season. Of these we can recommend the " Good Medium" as a useful Tea of its class, and which we can sup ply at such low prices as will satisfy those consumers who study economy in this department of household expenditure. The choice Moning Congou and the first class Souchong, owing to their•sterling qualities, still maintain high prices. In consequence of the continued internal revolutions in China, and the uncertain position of affairs in the eastern districts of the empire, a considerable quantity of Tea has been this year hurried through the processes of maturing and forwarding for shipment. These causes, superadded to the effects of the voyage, have, in many instances, affected the quality to a serious extent. Under these circumstances, Families may rest assured of our most vigilant care in making Proper selection of such qualities as will continue to give every satisfaction as regards both price and quality—our aim being to justify the confidence which our discrimination has hitherto inspired. We have made for some time past very complete arrange ments for the punctual delivery of Family Parcels—by Vans — in BIRKENHEAD, ROCK FERRY, SEACOMBE, NEW BRIGHTON, &c., besides our usual deliveries in Liverpool and its suburbs. Our men, in charge of the Vans. are authorised to take orders and to settle accounts. Should there be any inattention or incivility shown by any of them we shall esteem it a favour to be informed of the same by note; by this means we should be enabled at once to remedy any grievance. We deem it most necessary, in order to prevent future imposition, to make it publicly known that we have no con nexion whatever, nor ever had, with such parties in Liverpool, or in other towns, who, as a bait to purchasers, have been in the habit of displaying our name, in large and conspicuous letters, on their door-plates and shop windows. We wish jt t o be distinctly understood see have only one place of business .--ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS. The nefarious use of our name has not, however, been con fined to its assumption, as a passport to favour with cus omers. We have ascertained that a systematic mode of soliciting business in our name has been adopted by parties in this town, and that one of the said parties, guilty of stilt greater audacity, has had goods delivered to him under the impression, on the part of the vendor, that such goods were bought by us. This discovery would not have been made if the goods thus sold had been punctually paid for. We are only constrained to notice these matters by the increasing assurance of those who, without any foundation whatever, still assume a connexion with our firm. These attempts to impose upon the public have become too glaring to permit us to allow them to pass unnoticed. _ _ _ ROBT. ROBERTS AwD COMPY., ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS, LIVERPOOL.

EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT, (6 AND 7 VIC., CAP. 65), LONDON, 31sT OCTOBER, 1853. The want of a properly Ventilated and Easy-fitting Hat, particularly since the introduction of the Silk Hats into general use, has given rise to many seeming improvements. The Inventors and Patentees of the EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT have succeeded on the correct principle of Ventilation, by forming an Air Channel immediately around the head, permitting a current of air to pass from thence through and out at the top of the Hat ; and the design may be applied to every variety of shape worn, without infringing the light appearance so necessary to a becoming fiat.—See Practical Mechanics' Journal, Ist August, 1853, (date of Provisional Protection). In directing attention to this new and very desirable Spring and Summer Hat we respectfully invite an inspection, when its utility will be most apparent, and its general style best understood.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES are now being generally adopted by the Ale and Porter Export Trade, being the only safeguard against fraud. See the Sydney P , ercantile Journal and Shipping Register, Dec. 1. 1853 :- "Bottlers should not relax in their best methods of getting up Beer,, or their names will lose the credit which is now attached to them. A good deal of Malt Liquor of an inferior quality is bottled in this Colony with English Labels; this is passed-off at auctions as genuine, and the English bottlers are damnified in credit and of course in profit ; but if they kept up their quality and Capsuled and wired their bottles, spurious articles could not be so easily foisted on the public." .
