R6aEßSolsrarnOuiicei to the Ladies of Li verpool and its Vicinity, that, owing to the unprece dented mildness of the season in the mouths of November and December, his Stock being more an usually extensive at this season of the year, he has o the conclusion of Reducing the whole to Cost Pri order to effect a clearance of as much as possible, ake room for Spring Goods. The Furs are all of the besiblanufacture, and thoroughly seasoned. 13 and 15, Church-street, January 24, 1848. N.B.—An extensive and well-assorted Stock of Family Mourning, and Funerals conducted as usual. TO THE LADIES OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY. IN consequence of the unprecedented depression of Trade in all parts of the Kingdom, . G. IRELAND, OF 92, BOLD-STREET, has come to the determination of Selling the whole of hia, valuable and extensively-ass - orted STOCK 0 F FURS, comprising every description of Skins that are imported, and manufactured into all the NEWEST AND MOST PPEOVED Aterstrel PARISIAN AND L ON FASH IONS AT PRICES CON e RABLY REDUCED. In inviting the Ladi oe an inspection thereof, h e d oes no t wish to hold out any surd inducement. He feels, however, gratified in obsegmg, that as he purchases his Skins precisely upon the sarneterms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also MauufacturWthem, he obtains thereby an advanta e over the smaller purchaser, who merely retails them, and is enabled tO charge much lower than they possibly can. The Establish ment is, moreover, exclusively devoted to the SALE of FURS; and the great extent and variety of the Stock will not be found. surpassed in any Retail House in England. SABLE GOODS will this year be fully TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT. LOWER than similar Goods were last Season. To ALTERATIONS and REPAIRS it will always be his: study to devote as much attention and care as if he was en gaged in the manufacture of new articles; and as he never trusts them to other than the most clever artisans the trade can produce, and takes every care that all the departments of hie House are under his own inspection, and on the premises,ty: has the utmost security for the punctual and faithful execution of every order with which he may be entrusted.

It is generally admitted that amongst the various articles of clothing, there is nothing so difficult to procure as a perfect fit in Shirts ; i in fact it is mpossible,,ticcording to the pre sent mode of the shapelnd manufacture, that it should be otheryfse; every movement of the body of the affects the position and cleanliness of e breast, even in the mere process of p ting it on, as the body of the common Stith is so intimately connected with the brea that the action cracks the starch, and la the first foundation of creases and soile ines ; and when on, the action of the a and ordinary movements of the person, hout affecting the correct fit and appear ance of the breast, is quite unprovided for, from there being no firm line of demarkation between the breast ant body, and also front its improper form. DISCOVERY. After the close attention and practical obser vance of several years to Shirt making, the subscriber feels confident in the merits of the discovery he is now offering to the public ; he has derived the name from the general resem blance which the shape of the breast bears to that classic and symbolic figure of antiquity, the Lyre of Apollo, the breast being in that form, is contained within a beautifully stitched and firm band, cut out of one piece of cloth entirely surrounding it and the collar; the band resting in fair balance on the neck and shoulders, acts upon the collar and breast in the same manner as a frame to a picture, ADVANTAGES.thus completely preventing the continual ac tion of the other, ,parts of the Shirt, affecting the position of the breast in the slightest man ner, whilst the peculiar shape of the breast, forming an apex at the bottom, marks its pro per place, which, upon putting it on, it imme diately assumes and maintains; here the un necessary surplus length of plaits occasioned by the square bottom of the common Shirt is avoided, thus removing, in a great measure, one of the chief difficulties in fitting a Shirt. The indentation on the sides of the breast of the APOLLO SHIRT, allows complete room for the play of the arms and braces without interfering with the position of the breast, an object most unaccountably overlooked in all the Shirts at present in use, in short, the most violent exercise may be resorted to, without hazarding the chance of removing the breast from the position it ought to maintain, ECONOMY. coupled with this advantage, that the APOLLO SHIRT, from its inability to crease, will be perfectly clean, when the common Shirt is completely soiled from the same amount of wear. In a Shirt that fits, the economy of wear must be self-evident ; with this is combined the BEST MATERIALS that money and judgment can select, whilst the prices charged for the APOLLO SHIRTS bear no relation to those charged for many qualities of the com mon Shirts in use. CAUTlON.—Parties imitating WAGGOTT'S APOLLO SHIRT will render themselves liable to prosecution. Prices, Gs. 6d., 7s. 6d., Bs. 6d. Inspection invited. J.
