OF " FAIRY LEGENDS OF LANCASHIRE." 0 nee noon a time—a long time ago—before " Leverpole" was I t Ming but a poor fishing village, there was a wicked destroying t ',,npster who with a company of spirits as bad as himself, took hv,nifs abode'in a wild part of the country, near to the said e v , , ? of " Leverpole." It was a place shunned an account of its a tp ,_repute. In the on midst or this wilderness stood a tree, known at time as a mstrous ugly tree, and called "The Knotty h o h ow, on the border of this wilderness, Nature, who is ever of 4 ntiful, had placed a most beautiful Lake, which was the abode of a Fairy, who seldom appeared to mortal eyes but in t,:e shape b a Swan, and this Swan having been seen for hundreds of years 1Z Successive generations, was, notwithstanding her exceeding aUty, naturally called "The Old Swan." 1{,72 1, ta• BY THE AUTHOR OF THE PANTOMIME.—The said t r r_ltY Ash sti stands, and has given name to a village, but it o . ^ to be a very handsome tree after the bad spirits left the ~- Ig hbourhood, and a great many choice spirits have since taken 4D their abode there. ,1, g !n reard to the beautiful lake, it is imagined it was swallowed " by the " Revington Pike," but thee mmory of the " Old b,„" a n" is still rained in the locality, in affectionate remem .rice of th e kind Fairy, who had achieved such good fortune Z i t them. Up on this Legend the present Pantomime is founded, il d" as it is good to be merry and wise," an attempt has been Jtd, to cone science with amusement in the form of a Panto- Zilnical Alllegory, which, it is hoped, will excite and gratify ''tiosity in juvenile and inquiring minds. - - "THE ALLEGORY—" FIRE AND WATER." osphoru, the Fire King, wags war with, and tries to over b Crystal s ine, the Water Queen e , who being suddenly surprised him, after having, as she thought, extinguished his flame by th row i n . g cold water on it, is releas fom his fiery embrace by aPPearance of Steam, to whom, ed in r return, she promises aid • I , protection. Steam is in love with Sweetsmile, daughter of Blunderhead, who is the proprietor of an important do- In ain inhabited by the " Somebodies ;" but the Baron being a treat u enmy to scientific progress, and withal very ambitious, f a des to e match his daughter with any but a king. In this di- Ptua, Steam. with the - advice of the Water Queen, and taking ~e!ence and Labour, his companions, with bitn, visits the ~t't_unciente Fishynge Village of Leverpole," inhabited by the .„Aohodies," and which is on the verge of destruction and decay. Z ere the ,poor Fishermen are almost starving, when Steam Obje c t in a lucky moment; and to gain their aid in obtaining the Ject of his affections, changes with his irresistible power the r Paltry village to the "First Commercial City in the World." t , Fire King is so enraged at the great chane c ap tu ring by Stearn, Queen, he seeks to de;trive him of his power by the Water Muter and for this purpose takes advantage of a very hard his to invade the ice-hound domains of her Majesty, but here ts rage overcomes his prudence • for, forgetful of the effects of Fire amongst Ice, a rapid thaw takes place, in which Fire is over insltned, and " put out." The water Queen is released from e r Prison of Ice, and Steam, united to his beloved Sweetstnile, sets the Pantomime going on. Hari PANTOMIMIC TRANSFORMATION. h Signor Luri.

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 Mr. H. K. 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 I ndia Pale Ale. lam decidedly of opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no other ingredients than those found in pure malt liquors. 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's opinion of Aspinall's 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 Ale, 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 incontestible purity; they do not oontain a particle of any injurious substance. 1 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 bops 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 are 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.-1 am, Sir, yours respectfully, " SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, 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 Ales, 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.

A t e stimonial of g gentleman at Frodsham , in The following is a order fora Wilier supply of Presto - Cheshire, accompanying Pans Table Beer:— " Frodsham, March 3i, 11451, "Sir,—Please to send me another quarter'-barrel of Preston Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per B. L., and C. Ralliknyi to Frodsham. "The barrel which I have now on draught is giving every satisfaction, continuing quite sound and brisk, though it has now been more 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 and 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. Asri NA LL 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 U.se. Extract from a letter from Adelaide, Australia. "AspinalPs Pale Ale is very much app roved 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 dear and fine flavrured." -- Aspinall's Pale Ale and Preston Pans Table Beer will keep sound, brisk, and clear to the last , providing the vent peg i s k ep t tight, and the cask carefully tilted, so as not to disturb the beer.
