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 — SMALL PROFITS AND QUICK RETURNS; • feeling assured, that the nimble niuepence will always beat the slow *billing. Our object is to obtain a fair trial and comparis6n. Our professions have already been satisfactorily tested. We can l e now, therefore, appeal with confidence to tho - who may not already h ave g i ven us a t r i a l, w ith c ertainty s uc c ess, being Confident that the public will see the justne - and soundness of the principles upon which our business has been con ducted. The success which has marked our progress as MANUFAC- PmEks 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 mor e importance than at present. We therefore trust that tue list, fraught with so many advantages, will meet with general support, and that the Hats will be such as to corn- Tr an q the attention of purchasers en ' a good Waterproof Ditto ditto Ditto only 4s. 3d. and 4s. 9d ss. 6d (recommended) ditto, Short Naps Gs. 6d. and 7s. 6d.

THE continued preference of the Public for the above celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price at which imitations arc 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 frequentlyirractised by un principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'',S bottles with a spurious 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.

The great Feature of the Alpine Mountain Scenery, proudly standing alone for its high renown and multifarious Beau ties, a combination which could alone be acquired by ' o'dg ,---iiient, great taste, and considerable outlay. It Ap . 'aches the Lake, its rich Meadows extending to 50 Ac sin the Valley, independently of the Rising Grounds which in clude altogether near 80 Acres ; the splendi nd exceed ingly correct taste in Furniture, fine Collect' , n of Original Pictures, Cellar of the Choicest Wines, s , ay all be added to the purchase. AT R. brEORGE ROBINS is flatter . that he has been iacee IV .I. se ed by the worthy proprietor, AMES BRANCKER, Esq., of Liverpool, ' offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, August 17, at Twelve, and in consequence of a recent severe domestic affliction, THE SALE WILL BE PEREMPTORY,. a singularly desirable and highly IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which, from its countless beauties, is not easily approached, and still less by the imperfect sketch that is about to be at tempted. kis not a little fortunate . for the honoured indi vidual who has been preferred to bring this splendid estate under public review, that its indescribable beauties are on record in the minds of every one who has visited Wetmore land during the progress of its completion. It is but faint praise to say that it is THE LEADING FEATURE AMID THE LAKE SCENERY, since nothing, even within these hallowed regions, has ven tured to aspire to such a distinction ; and the great difficulty that presses upon Mr. Robins's mind is, that in selecting from the countless beauties that prevail everywhere, he will necessarily in this abridged statement leave too many unno- tieed_ THE MANSION IS OF AN IMPOSING CHARACTER, ERECTED ENTIRELY OF STONE. - The order of Architecture may be a little equivocal, or rather, it presents an admixture of the several orders, rendered per fect by the taste of the liberal proprietor. A drawing, which will accompany the printed particulars, must necessarily he an humble effort to bring such a combination Of taste and judgment into so limited a space; it will, however, most as suredly give such a powerful claim to admiration, as to in cline all such as can afford, and are anxious, to APPROACH ELYSIUM IN THIS WORLD, to pay an early visit to Croft Lodge, where, indeed, he will find just cause to exclaim, " How imperfectly has Paradise been represented in this feeble attempt." The situation was originally selected wisely ; it is seated on a lawn of considerable beauty, protected from the north and easterly winds by the almost interminable hills which form AN AMPHITHEATRE CLOTHED IN VERDURE, where the flocks and herds ascend to the very summit, to vary and improve the landscape. From the mountain-top is presented a scene that it would be in vain to attempt to de scribe; for it has been truly said, IT BEGGARS ALL DESCRIPTION. In progressing through the winding progress of the acclivity, it is almost impossible for the imagination to arrive at a full appreciation of the HARMONIOUS COMBINATION , which seems to increase in beauty, and effect at every fresh break or peep which nature has vouchsafed through the woods. It is on this fearful height that Windermere is seen in all its glory, where " The sunbeam slumbers, and the leaves scarce curled By the cool breeze, their verdant tresses lave Translucent through its tide." The little intermediate space from that vast water is seen with THE CONFLUENCE OF THE TWO BEAUTIFUL RIVERS, THE BRATHAY AND ROTHAY, which are parallel with the Terrace-walk ; the former river, with its ornamental bridge, is a great feature, extending in the other direction to a similitude with THE FAMED VIRGINIA WATERS, (which are left at an immeasurable distance,) and to the Swiss cottage in its purest taste ; its harbour and the splendid river which alone separates it from the lake. The ambition of the respected proprietor has lead him to prepare a fleet in this dock which is more than equal to compete with the once favoured flotilla on Virginia Water, and her Yacht, THE PRIDE OF THE LAKE, CARRIES THE FLAG OF THE COMMODORE. But to return to the mansion. It is ornamented in front by a balcony and gallery of singular beauty, the windows are of plate glass, and within it will be found the most perfect accommodation that a reasonable mind can desire, observing that comfort in its best form has been regarded to a great extent, while the enormous expenditure, which is conspicu ous everywhere, has been disregarded, and only auxiliary to the view of rendering it quite perfect. It is, in fact, A PALACE IN MINIATURE, in the most comprehensive sense. A splendid conservatory adorns one wing, and there are hot and cold baths; the rooms are of the best proportions ; the bed-chambers in abundance, and well constituted with dressing-rooms. The principal suite of rooms are fitted up in unusually good taste ; they are in communication, and nearly the whole are ornamented by massive mahogany doors, with chimney pieces of pure statuary marble. The domestic arrange ment may be accounted perfection, and the offices within and without so complete as to leave nothing to be desired. The chimneys, of castellated form, are so admirably arranged, that smoke and its annoyance have necessarily abdicated. It may be well to recur again to the situation. If the reader be weary of the description, the writer promises he will not be so when the reality is brought under his review. Win dermere it is known is always accounted THE LEVIATHAN OF THE LAKES, and Croft Lodge partakes of its beauties infinitely beyond any of its rival candidates, inasmuch as its breadth and its loveliness increases as it approaches nearer to the Elysium, and terminates close to the spot where the confluence of the rivers takes place. The beauteous valley seen in all direc tions, is nowhere more perfect than viewed during the pro gress through the rocks and precipitous hills. The luxuriant county in which Croft Lodge is embosomed ; the lucid expanse of its lake ; the distant mountains lifting their glacier summits to heaven—the combination must be felt while gazing on this scene, and a delicious tranquility will steal upon the heart and harmonise with every kindly feeling. It will exert a sort of fascination over the senses, and hold the spectator for a time in mute and breathless con templation. The road to Ambleside separates the mansion from the gardens and river, it is the subject of constant admiration from all those who frequent the lakes, and equally eulogised by those who have benetitted by a tour into Switzerland. The only parallel case which Mr. Robins can bring to his recollection is the SCENERY OF LOCH LOMOND, and it becomes matter of doubt which to prefer ; this truism will leave the reader to judge of the treat that is in store, and it ought be added, that the poets of the present age have selected this vicinage, with a view to perpetuate their fame. Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Southey have reason to be proud of the auxiliaries found in this earthly Paradise to aid in their prolific muse. The situation is proverbial for longe vity, and an East Indian who has amassed considerable wealth at the expense of his constitution, need only to pos sess Croft Lodge to ensure an immediate renewal of a lease for a very prolonged life. The society is everywhere around of the best description. Those who would be gay will find abundant opportunity, not forgetting the pleasurable scenes which are constantly presented by the regattas. To conclude it may be well to obs erve , t h at t h e l a k es are now within 14 hours' ride of the metropolis of London. It will be on view six weeks antecedently to the sale, only by means of a descriptive particular, and a drawing and plan of the estate (at is each), to be had at the Waterloo, Liver pool the best Hotels at Man c h es t er; Pl oug h, Cheltenham ; Hotel, Leamington ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. GEO.

SEELEY, Fleet-street, London. *** Of the 75 Churches described and illustrated in this work, 42 were erected by Sir Christopher Wren shortly after the great fire : a connected series of views of these buildings, such as is here for the first time published, cannot fail to be Interesting both to the admirers of that great architect, and f to the promoters of Church Building in the present day. 0 the more important, views both of the exterior and interior have been given ; drawn and engraved by the well-known artists and enzravers, McKenzie and Billings, Le Keux and Challis. The steel engavings amount in number to fifty nine, and those on wood, by S. Williams, to fifty-seven ; so that the work is decidedly cheaper than of those usually de signated " Annuals." Of the descriptive part it may be sufficient to say, that it has been pronounced Creditable to the Author, by all the most respectable periodicals. The following highly favourable notices appeared at various times during the publication of the work in numbers, and the names of the periodicals attached to the extracts will be a sufficient warrant for their impartiality ; but if it could possibly strengthen this assurance, the proprietor pledges his word that no one of them has been solicited, and they may there fore be fairly considered as the perfectly unbiassed opinions of the various editors. CIVIL ENGINEERS' AND ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL.—NO. 3.—" This very useful and popular work has arrived at its eleventh number.... The author is entitled to the warmest encomiums of the profession, for his efforts in the endeavour to inculcate into the minds of the public a taste for this im portant branch of architecture." THE ASIATIC JOURNAL.—" Three parts of this elegant, acceptable, and very cheap work, have appeared, and they do infinite credit to the artists and the authors. Each num ber contains two views of a Church, with historical and an tiquarian matter. LOUDON'S ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.—" The two numbers before us contain four exquisitely-engraved plates of St. Paul's Cathedral,—a beautiful wood Engraving of the Cathedral as it appeared before the fire in 1666, and others of the monuments to Lord Nelson, the Marquis Cornwallis, and Bishop Heber. The letter-press appears to be compiled with taste and judgment, combining historical relation with critical and professional remarks : and on the wrapper of each number is given a glossary of technical expressions, for the use of non-professional readers. The extreme cheapness of the work, and the superior manner in which it is got up, cannot fail to ensure it a very extensive sale." THE LITERARY GAZETTE.—" This undertaking is worthy of the rising talent of Mr. Godwin, and promises to be a very complete and interesting production. The number be fore us is altogether a favourable specimen." THE SAME. Nov. 10.—" This pretty little publication proceeds with undiminished neatness and accuracy in its graphic, and with increasing interest in its typographic de partment Notices of the concluding number. The publishers of this interesting and elegant series have brought their work to a close. It is appropriately dedicated to the Bishop of London, who has done so much in preserv ing some of the City's most ancient ecclesiastical structures from destruction, in the various improvements that have been made in the different streets, as well as for his Lord ship's exertions to increase the number of the places of wor ship. As an instance of the care with which this publication has been conducted, it ought to be mentioned that in the concluding number the proprietor has presented other im pressions where the former plates had been accidintally issued in a style inferior to the best of the series. The pub lishers promise a continuation of the series, to consist of the churches of Westminster, Southwark, and the Suburbs, should the work now concluded meet with the favour which it fully merits."—Record, August sth, 1839. " This work is now complete, and comprehends a valuable collection of engravings, on steel and wood, of the Metro politan Churches, illustrated with descriptions at once popu lar and erudite. It makes a very handsomt‘, book, at a rea sonable price, and we trust that the patronage of the public (which it well deserves) will excite Mr. Godwin to extend his plan."—Asiatic, Sept. 1. " The 30th number of this publication has made its appear ance, and contains sketches of nine of the me-tropolitan churches from St. Alphage's London-wall, down to St. Bo tolph's Aldgate. Many interesting historical facts are brought s into notice in this series of brief, b u t careful notices, an the vignette woodcuts, with which it is so freely illustrated,' are of a very neat kind. In this num b er there is, moreover, a view of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, and another of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, from the pencil of Mackenzie, which are of more than ordinary interest. The latter especially does much credit t o one o f the best architectural dratsmen to whom the school of England has e ver g i ven birth.--41torn ing Herald, August AUTUMN WOOLLEN GOODS.

An engraver, who had produced several prints of acknow ledged merit, committed suicide a few days ago from a cause which shows that his strength of mind was by no means equal to his talent. Having prepared two new plates in aqua tint, he was so sensibly affected by their not coming out with the force and beauty he had anticipated, that he shot him self, and thus, at the early agsl of forty years, terminated a career which gave every promise of being brilliant.—Sun. The president, secretary, and treasurer of the brickmakers' society in Manchester, have all of them absconded, taking with them the entire of the funds of the society, amounting to one hundred and sixty pounds! ! ! Nothing has yet been heard of this trio of delinquents. By the official returns published by the Customs, the ex ports of the precious metals to foreign and colonial parts for the week ending Thursday last, were as follows : Silver Coin to Ilamburgh Silver Coin to Rotterdam Ounces. 3.1,302 19,600 16,150 Silver Coin to the Mauritius REMOVING A LIGHTIIOUSE.—From the improvements now making in Sunderland harbour, it has been found requi site to appoint another site for the lighthouse; but in order to avoid the trouble, delay, and expense of taking it dowa and rebuilding it, it has been decided to remove it as it stands, which transit is now being attempted. The stone work has been cut out at the base, and a railway and car riage erected, on which the lighthouse now stands ; it was moved by screw power a distance of 21 feet to the north on Monday, in which situation it will remain for some time, till the railway is reversed, when it will be removed to its new site, at the east end of the north pier. —Newcastle Chronicle. CHINESE Go NS.-A piece of Chinese artillery, taken from the admiral's junk at the island of Chusan, has been sent to this country by Captain Trail, son of Dr. Trail, of Panbride, who was present with the expedition. The gun is exactly six feet in length, with a bore of about two inches in diame ter, thus admitting a ball of about two pounds in weight, and has much the appearance of one of our street lamp posts, only it is not quite so thick. It is composed of separate bars, hooped together after the manner customary with artillery in ancient times, of which the celebrated gun " Mons Meg," in Edinburgh Castle, is a specimen. Apparently it is of consi derable antiquity, the touch-hole being greatly enlarged, and the gun otherwise worn by rust. We are inclined to think that in an engagement it would be more apt to prove destruc tive to those who worked it than to those against whom it was used. Captain Trail has handsomely presented it to the museum of the Dundee Watt Institution. A similar one has also, we understand, been forwarded to Cupar, Fife.—Dun. dee I firrder. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BLACKHEATII.—TWO houses in the Grove at Blackheath were destroyed by fire during Tues day night. One was in the occupation of Captain 'Waller, a gentleman recently arrived from Java, with his wife and a i family of ele ven c hild ren . Th e property d estro y e d s esti mated at £3OOO, which belonged to Captain Waller, and not one vestige of which is insured. There were bank notes to the amount of XlOO, 200 sovereigns, and an entirely new ser vice of plate, which cost 500 guineas, and which had only been purchased by Captain Waller a few days since, a vast quantity of valuable jewellery, precious stones, and other costly articles, collected in the East Indies, all of which fell a prey to the devouring element. ENGLA.ND.—The path she has marked out for herself Eng land pursues with energy and a perseverance all worthy of imitation. The strongest maritime positions upon the globe she descries, and conquers, or purchases ; her countless co lonies are scattered over the world ; her colonial system and her navigation are based upon formidable financial associa tions ; all useful projects find support from her government ; her diplomacy, her fleets, her treasures, all she directs to the accomplishment of an enterprize, not always an equally defi nite one, provided it is recommended by its greatness. The conduct of the mightiest and most perilous affairs does not distract her for an instant from this leading principle of her conduct. Against all difficulties, for all emergencies she makes head and provides. Engaged as she is in the eastern question, the war in India and the war in China, with the progress of the experiment of the slaves of nineteen colonies, with election crises, the reform of her tariff, the embarrass ment of a budget in defecit, still does she find time and means to turn her attention and her resources to the uncer tain enterprize of an expedition to the Niger, and a negoeia tion with Spain for the cession of the islands of Fernando Po and Armobon.—Journal des Debate. IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS AND STAGE-COACH PRO PRIETORS.—An action was brought before the Small Debt Court, Perth, on - Wednesday last, at the instance of Mr. Dallas Mills, of Avcch, near Inverne ss , aga i ns t the pro prietors of the Princess. Royal coach, which runs between Perth and Inverness, for damages in the following circum stances :—The plaintiff was booked at the Star Hotel coach• office, as passenger to Inverness, on the 21st of July. In the bills which were posted up in the coach-offices and inns, the Princess Royal was announced to start " from the George and Star Hotel Mail Coach-offices, Perth, every lawful morning at half-past five o'clock," and on the nsorn ing alluded to, the coach left the Star Hotel at a quarter past five, but the plaintiff was present at the Star Hotel office eight minutes before the half-hour, when he found the coach had left that office. It was proved, however, that he was put on his way to reach the George Inn before the half hour, had he been acquainted with the localities, but which he did not reach until the coach had started, which was stated by a witness to be three and a half minutes past the time advertised. Mr. Sheriff Barclay held that the bill pnt out bore the terms of the contract between the coach pro prietors and the public, and that the coach ought not to have left either of the offices before the half-hour, and he added, that the plaintiff, although it had been proved that he could have made up to the coach at the George Inn, was not bound to run, and, it may be, over-heat himself before he made up to it, so as to obtain his seat. Mr. Bareley decided for three guineas of damage with costs of the suit.—Seotek paper. BRITISH EXPLORING EXPEDITION TO THE SOUTII POLL —The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Hobart-town, dated the 17th of April, 1841 :—" By the last list you will have perceived the ratans to this port of her majesty's ships Erebus and Terror, Captains Ross and Crozier. Nothing official has as yet transpired here ; but it is generally understood that the ex pedition has been very successful, and these British ships proceeded 11 degrees lower south than the Astrolabe and Zele, and four degrees more than any other vessel has ever yet reached ; that they were enabled to fix the exact position of the south magnetic pole at 100 miles distant thence; and that some extraordinary mistake appears to have affected the calculation of the Americans who ap proached these regions." The Erebus and Terror entered tile main part of the ice, on their voyage of discovery towards the South Pole, on the sth of January last, being then in latitude 66. 45. S., and longitude 174. 13. E. Oa the 10th of the same month they descried land in lat. 71. 56. S., long. 171. 17. E. ; and coming up to it on the 12th of January, they took possession of it in the name of her majesty. This land extends south to degree 79. Proceeding onwards, a large volcano, emitting dense clouds of smoke, was observed on the 28th of January, in lat. 77. 31. S. long. 167. 30. E. On the 2d of February they reached to the utmost extent of their voyage, viz., long. 173. 12. W., and were here stopped by l a t. 78. 4. S. 150 a icebergs 0- feet high, and by the fields of ice which were t ra c ed tending 300 miles to the eastward. expeditionThe han the Ameriean trated about four degrees further south t in the course of or French discovery vessels ; and, although hcorreetness of many the voyage it was enabled to verify pine the existence of water discovered one singular error — " land, and which the Erebus of the spots laid down in the charts of the former, they also over a large space described land 300 miles f ro m the latitude laid clown dis tance, leaving the It i s said that the sea in this dires hales. Not a single taut{. and Terror actually sailed over for a for a very considerable dis in the American chart.
