The exuberance of the feelings amid scenes of gaiety induces the fair and youthful to shine to advantage under the gaze of many friends, and therefore to devote increased attention to the duties of the Toilet. It is at this festive season that ROWLANDS' AUXILIARIES OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY are more than usually essential for preserving the Hair in all its decorative charm, the Skin and Complexion transparent and blooming, and the Teeth in their pearl-like lustre. The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by lank and fashion, and the universally-known efficacy of these articles give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them peculiarly ELEGANT AND SEASONABLE PRESENTS. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR. OIL Is a delightfully fragrant arid transparent preparation for the Hair, and as all invigorator and purifier beyond all precedent. In dressing the Hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, imparting a tran scendent lustre, and sustaining it in decorative charm during the heated atmosphere of crowded assemblies. Price 3s. 6,1., 75, ; Family Bottles (equal to 4 small), 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s. per bottle. ROWLANDS' KALYDOR, for the Skin and Complexion, is unequalled for its rare and ines timable qualities, the radiant bloom it imparts to the Cheek, the softness and delicacy which it induces of the Hands and Arms, its capability of soothing irritation, and removing Cut aneous Defects, Discolorations, and all unsightly appearances, render it indispensable to every Toilet. During the frost and bleak winds of winter, and in cases of Chilblains, Chapped Skin, and i nc i. dental Irritation, its virtues are universally acknowledged.— Price 4s. 6d. and So. 6d per bottle.

OCTOBER BREWING OF SUPERIOR BRILLANCY IN COLOUR AND FLAVOUR. A SPINALL'S EAST INDIA PALE ALE AND BITTER ALE. This fine-flavoured and much-esteemed ALE, so largely in demand during the Christmas of 1851, Christmas 1852, and Christ mas 1553 and 1834, is again in fine condition for Christmas 1855 ; in Casks of 9, 18, and 36 Gallons—strong or mild. Orders should be sent early to the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead, or to the Liverpool Stores, Walmer-buildings, Water-street, and Rumford-street, near the Exchange, Liverpool. Dr. Brett's Opinion of Aspinall's Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale, brewed at the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead. "Laboratory. Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, Dec., 1852. "I have, at the request of 51r. H. g. Aspinall, of the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead, submitted to a careful chemical examina tion three descriptions of Beer, called respectively Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale. lam decidedlS , of opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no other ingredients than those found in pure malt l►quors. They have been very well fermented, and consequently do not contain any amount of unfermented sugar, frequently found in some descriptions of Ale ; and being also free from any excess of mucila ginous matters capable of acting as ferments, they are remarkably bright, and retain that brightness to the last. Several medical friends of mine have expressed a very favourable opinion as re gards their quality. "R. H. BRETT, Ph. D., F.LS., "And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence." Dr. Sheridan Muspratt'sopinion of AspinalPs Pale Ale and Preston Pans Beer. " Liverpool, Dec. 12th, 1854. "Dear Sir, —Having undertaken, at your request, a research upon your different Beers, videlicit—East India Pale Me, Mild Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Preston Pans Beer, I feel happy in for warding you the annexed results. The sifting nature of the chemical examination to which your Malt Liquors have been subjected, establishes their incontestable purity; they do not contain a particle of any injurious substance. I must confess I was not a little surprised to find that such excellent Beers were brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. It proves in a most satis factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection of the best kind of Hops and Malt, and that you possess great scientific skill in conducting the several important stages through which these have to pass. I was very much struck with the India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bright, sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent tonic, and, I am sure, will be relished by all those seeking an agreeable and beneficial anodyne bitter, which tends to preserve the vigour of the stomach. and conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of the health of that organ, when debilitated. Your Preston Pans Beer is a very nice light beverage. having a peculiar but fine flavour, which must be greatly relished by many families. The East India Pale Ale and the Mild Pale Ale arc like the above well fermented, and made from the best and most wholesome in gredients. therefore are sure to command popularity. In con cluding, I am glad to tell you that, having now tasted your Ales. I shall in future use them in my house, as they are fully equal to any I have analysed.—l am, Sir, yours resctfully, " SHERIDAN M pe USPRATT, F.R.S., " Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. "Professor of Chemistry." The demand for this fine-flavoured ALE is greatly on the in crease, Merchants, Bottlers, and Hotelkeepers finding it equal in flavour, colour, and quality to the finest Burton-brewed Ale:, and at Prices very considerably less than any similar Ale now on the market. It is warranted to keep sound in Wood or Bottle for years, and never changes its brilliancy of colour. It improves by long keeping.

The following is a testimonial of a gentleman at Frodsham, in Cheshire, accompanying an order for a further supply of Preston Pans Table Beer:— "Frodsham, Cheshire, March 31, 1851. "Sir,—Please to send me another quarter-barrel of Preston Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per B. L., and C. Railway, to Frodsham. "The barrel which I have now on draught is giving every satisfaction, continuing quite sound and brisk, though it has now been snore than six weeks on draught. I use a vent-peg, which closes of itself, with a spring, so that the beer cannot be left ex posed to the air through the carelessness of servants. "I suppose you do not require that empty caske should always be returned literally within three months, for this I could not always do, as a quarter-barrel generally lasts from eight to ten weeks on draught, and I like to have it on the stillion for a couple of weeks before I begin to use it.

"Sir,—l beg to say, that I have shipped Beer supplied by you, in wood and bottle, for five years, to the East end West Indies, South America, and other markets, and that it has always given the greatest satisfaction to my friends abroad, invariably arriving out in the best possible order and condition. My orders are to ship " Aspinall's Ale," and no other.—Yours most obediently. "Mr. H. K. Aspinall, Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead." HENRY K. ASPI TIALL would call the attention of Private Fami lies to the prices and quality of his Pale Ales and Preston Pans Table Beer, Brewed and carefully prepared especially for Private Use. Extract from a letter from Adelaide, Australia. "Aspinall's Pale Ale is very much approved of here, and brings high prices. It is largely consumed at our clubs and hotels." Extract from a letter from Constantinople. " Aspinall's Pale Bitter Beer would sell well out here in bottle. A few consignments have already brought high prices. It is very clear and fine flavoured." -- Aspinall's Pale Ale and Preston Pans Table Beer will keep sound, brisk, and clear to the last, providing the vent peg is kept tight, and the cask carefully tilted, so as not to disturb the beer.
