Chester, August 9th, 1841. VICTORIA HAT DEPOT, 74, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. MESSRS. WOOD BROTHERS, Proprietors of the above Establishment, are again induced to appear be fore a discerning and generous Public, adopting, as their motto THE BEST ARTICLE AT THE LOWEST PRICE SMAI L PROFITS AND QUICK RETURNS; feeling assured, that the nimble ninepence will always beat the slow shilling. Our object is to obtain a fair trial and comparison. Our professions have already been satisfactorily tested. We can now, therefore, appeal with confidence to those who may not already have given us a trial, with certainty of success, being confident that the public will see the justness and soundness of the princiu es upon which our business has been con ducted. The success which has marked our progress as MA NUFAC• TURERS proves that such an establishment was much wanted in Liverpool, as there cannot be a doubt that much higher prices are frequently exacted from the public than are justi fiable. Messrs. WOOD BROTHERS have great pleasure in assuring the Public. that they have agreed with their men (who have been out) to a list which will, doubtless, enable them to have one uniform list of prices that will convince their friends, and the inhabitants generally, there never was a period when a thorough practical acquaintance with the Hat Trade was of more importance than at present. We therefore trust that the list, fraught with so many advantages, will meet with general support, and that the Hats will be such as to com mand the attention of purchasers Men's good Waterproof Ditto ditto only 4s. 3d. and 4s. 9d ss. 6d (recommended) ditto, Short Naps 6s. 6d. and 7s. 6d.

WOOD BROTHERS, 74, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL Manufactory—Blackfriars, Manchester. PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu .l • larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound ed at his Laboratory, a trial of any of which will convince the most sceptical of their decided superiority. THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes' a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &o. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causine acid fermentation.

BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO lIER MAJESTY AND ALL THE ROYAL FAMILY SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS: AND lERATED LEMONADE, THE continued preference of the Public for the above celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price at which imitations are rendered), so abundantly proves their superior quality, that it only remains for the manufac turers to express their acknowledgments, and to caution consumers against an imposition frequently practised by un principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a s purious composition, and passing it off as SCHWEPPE' S manufacture. None are genuine without a label represent ing the name of their firm. SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA. This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This invaluable alkali in the fluid form is so rapidly superseding its use in the solid state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in jurious tendency of the latter to lodge and accumulate in the bowels, that the Public attention cannot be too often directed to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the highest state of perfection.

We have reason to know that the fleet now fitting' out at Constantinople is intended to act against the Bey of Tunis, with whom the Porte has just ground f or comp l a i n t. We have also reason to believe that the French Government is not disposed to favour the object of this expedition, and that the fleet now at Toulon is destined for that part of the African coast.

CRICKET MATCH EXTRAORDINARY BETWEEN THE GREENWICH AND CHELSEA PENSIONERS.—This novel match between the one-arm and one-leg pensioners came off on Monday and Tuesday, at Hall's cricket ground, Camber well, and excited much interest and mirth from the various falls which occurred during the play. The charge of admit tance to the ground was 6d., and on Monday there were full 2000 present, It was obvious from the first that the Chelsea veterans, being much older, and at the same time mostly men who had lost a leg, would have no chance against the Greenwich tars. The result of the match thoroughly justi fied this conclusion, the Chelsea pensioners scoring only 19 runs, while the Greenwich tars got 176. The best of feeling and good fellowship pervaded both parties throughout, and it was not the l eas t i n t eres ti ng part to witne ss th e o ld b oys dine together, reminding us in its truest sense of a " United Service Club." They had a good luncheon of bread, cheese, and porter before they commenced play, and for dinner, quarters of lamb, and roast and boiled beef in profusion. On their departure they each had a noggin to drink the Queen's health, and lOs in cash for their two days' exertions, besides their free passage to and fro. It is 16 years since a similar match took place between the two institutions, which was played in Montpelier-gardens, Blackheath, when the Greenwich heroes come off victorious. A POSSIBILITY.—" if ever I die," said an old maid the other day, " I believe I shall be carried off with an affection of the heart." On the shutters of a house in Duke-street, Lincoln's Inn fields, is a paper fixed, on which is written "Empty. No body hear." EXPED I TIOUS.—Letters are now brought to New York from Calcutta in eight weeks—a distance nearly half round the globe. With the same speed, a man would travel round the earth in sixteen weeks. This is a striking evidence of the march of improvement in the present age. Certain great works should be read frequently, and at diffe rent periods of life, to be thoroughly felt and understood. A policeman, in tendering evidence in one of the London police-offices on.. Saturday, said that the prisoner was using " obscene language." On being pressed for his definition of obscenity of expression, he replied that the defendant waa " damning the police." COURTING SCENE.—" Jonathan, did you read that are story about the man as was hugged to death by the bear?" " Guess I did. Sewk,., ,anti it did Male inn feel so bad." " Why, how did you feel, Jonathan ?" " Kind'er sorter as if I'd like to hug you eenamost to death, tew, you tarnal, nice, plump, elegant little critter, you, Sewke." " 0, la! Go away, you—Jonathan."—American paper. A SOLD MINE AND BETTER.—IL is said that there is a coal formation near Lowell. If so, what a prize !—New York Herald. The editor of the New York Baptist Register says he istened to a discourse a flaw Sabbaths since from Father EI arvey, now in the 107th year of his age. Whoever is found in bed after seven o'clock, from May :ill Michaelmas, cannot in any conscience expect to be free ron.i some ailment or other, dependent on relaxed nerves, stuffed lungs, disordered bile, or impaired digestion. It is a curious fact, that in the times of the commonwealth the Jews presented a petition to Cromwell, praying him to grant them St. Paul's Cathedral for a synagogue. The editor of the American Traveller thinks the best snuff in the world is a snuff of the morning air. " Be content with what you have," as the rat said to the trap, when he left his tail in it. TAicn CAnE.—When travelling, never tell how much money you have in your pockets ; if you do, it won't be there The following matrimonial advertisement appeared in a Concord (N. H.) paper:—" Whereas I, Daniel Clay, through nisrepresentation, v . vas induced to put my wife, Rhoda, in :he papers ; now beg leave to inform the public that I have sgaiu taken her to wife, after settling all our domestic broils n an amicable manner ; so that every thing as usual goes on ike clock work." Men of elevated mind fall down before merit ; ordinary men fall down before success. With the latter, success justifies every thing ; with the former, success itself regaires to be justified. The power of the journalist, says the New monthly Maga zine, is immense : experience enables us to assert confidently, that twenty thousand addresses, printed separately, and circulated with the most energetic diligence, would not pro duce the effect of one advertisement. " Circumstances alter cases," as the cat said when she jumped on the printer's case.—" I shall not die unheard," as the pig said when the butcher stuck him. A new bass singer has lately appeared at New Orleans, who sings so remarkably deep that it takes nine Kentucky lawyers to understand a single bar. Sir 'Walter Scott was under the necessity of fitting out his eldest son as a cavalry offi cer . Wh en the bill was' brought to him, he observed to the expectant schneider, " It takes nine tailors to make a man, but only one to ruin him." In this world of hatred and contention, the love even of a dog is worth living for. We blame an Armenian for his want of submission to Divine sovereignty ; yet, let a shower fall on a new suit of clothes, and we cannot submit ourselves. The learned and caustic Bishop Warburton said, "it is rong to define man to be a reasoning animal ; all that we .;an predicate of him is, that he is an animal capable of reasoning." We every day meet with facts confirming the truth of this humiliating remark.—Boston Mel.. Journal. We saw a funny incident at the Market House meeting on Saturday night. " The eyes have it," bawled a drunken Locofoco, when a vote was taken. "The nose has it," re torted a big Whig, taking the unfortunate Loco by the fea ture indicated.—Louisville Journal. RETORT COURTEOI7S.—A Russian lady being engaged to dinner with M. de Talleyrand, at that time Niinister for Foreign Affairs, was detained a full hour by some unexpected accident. The famished guests grumbled, and looked at their watches. On the lady's entrance, one of the company observed to his neighbour in Greek, " When a woman is neither young itor handsome, she ought to arrive betimes." The lady, turning round sharply, accosted the satirist in the same language, " When a woman," says she, " has the mis fortune to dine with savages, she always arrives too soon." A GERMAN DINNER—TABLE D'HaTE.—First came the soup, very like barley broth, supposing rice instead of bar ley, and then the beef which had been boiled in it, of cou rse , very insipid. It reminded me of the patent Pimlico bread I once tasted, when as poor George said, they had extracted all the spirit and left nothing behind but the corpse of a loaf. I was obliged to leave it on my plate, where, as it got cold, it turned almost as white as a piece of wood. But you would have admired the dexterity of the waiters. One of them brought a large pile of clean plates, holding one between each finger, and dealt them out as if they had been cards. The worst is, the plates and dishes are all stone-cold ; and, as instead of a bill of fare, every course is put on the table to show what you are to expect, and is then taken off again to be carved, the hottest of their dinners is only like a hasty attempt in warm weather at a collation. But what most sur prised me was the order of the eatables, so different to any established by Mrs. Glasse or Mrs. Rundell. After the soup, &c., came in a monstrous dish of asparagus, with a sauce made of oiled butter and hard boiled-eggs. Next appeared a capon and salad, then a very sweet pudding. and then some very sour krout. The aext dish that went its round, like a novel in a circulating library. was of very small, very waxy kidney potatoes, (Fran k called them " Murphy's thumbs,") and then followed some unknown vegetable, with a very unp l easan t s mell, ina b rown sauce, looking, according to Frank, like "sailors stewed in tar." Next we had salmon and t Pe a ie" tr jelly, and cold ; and last, and certainly not lead, piece of roast veal. My brother, great' o solid the wrong " Egad!
