OF " FAIRY LEGENDS OF LANCASHIRE." Once upon a time—a long time ago—before " Leverpole" was Monster but a poor fishing village , the r e w as a wicked destroying ouster who, with a company of spirits as bad as himself, took 1 1 : his abode in a wild part of the cou ntr y , near to the said Aril- Ile of Leverpole." It was a place shunned an account of its 111 repute. In the midst of this wilderness stood a t r ee, known l lthat time as a monstrous ugly tree, and called "The Knotty sim, ,Now, on the border of this wilderness, Nature , who is ever .o untiftil, had placed a most beautiful Lake, which was the abode W a Fairy, who seldom appeared to mortal eyes but in tie shape tr a Swan, and this Swan having been seen for hun dreds of y ears L y successive generations, was , notwithstanding h e r exceedin g ''antY, naturally called "The O i d S wan. " ...Lams. BY THE AUTHOR OF THE PA NTOMIME.—The said Ahotty Ash still stands, and has given name to a village, but it rew to be a very handsome tree after the ba d s p irits left the n eighbourhood, and a great many choice spirits have since taken aD their abode there. In regard to the beautiful lake, it is imagined i t w as swallowed by the " Revington Pike," but the memory of the "Old Swan" is still retained in the locality , in affe c t ionate remem nnce of the kind Fairy, who had achieved su ch g ood fortune or them. Upon this Legend the present Pantomime is founded, l ind "as it is good to be merry and wise," an attempt has been Shade to combine science with amusement in the form of a Panto. edlnical Allegory, which, it is hoped, will excite a nd g ratif y C ariosity in juvenile and inquiring minds. THE ALLEGORY—" FIRE AND WATER." Phosphorus, the Fire King, wages war with, and tries to over. ?Gene Crystaline, the Water Queen, who being suddenly surprised by him, after having, as she thought, extinguished his flame by the cold water on it, is released from his fiery embrace by 'ne appearance of Steam, to whom, in return, she promises aid 11 11 rotection. Stam is in love with Sweetsmile, daughter troll p Blunderhead. e who is the proprietor of an important do of itath, inhabited by the " Somebodies '•" but the Baron being a rest enemy to scientific progress, and withal very ambitious, re uses to match his daughter with any but a king. In this di- La? ma, Steam, with the advice of the Water Queen, and taking ience and Labour, his companions, with him, visits the .;..kunciente 'Fishyng , t , Village of verger Levepole," inhabited by the „Nobodies," and which is on the of destruction and decay. Mere the poor Fishermen are almost starving, when Steam arrives in a lucky moment, and to gain their aid in obtaining the object of his affections, changes with his irresistible power the t e r t p i a r l e t rz n village g so to e the C' girnemateerlciiaanigCeietLeintetlebyWitreladni." fiat he seeks to dearive him of his power b y ca p turin g the Water 4tleen, and for this purpose takes advan ta g e of a ver y hard Winter to invade the ice-bound domains of her Majesty,. but here his rao'e overcomes his prudence • for, forgetful of the effects of ire amongst Ice, a rapid thaw takes place. in which Fire is over whelmed, and "put out." The I , Vater Queen is released from her prison of Ice, and Steam, united to his beloved Sweetsmile, eta the Pantomime going on. PANTOMIMIC TRANSFORMATION. harlequin Signor Lauri.

Sin,—l am now 44 years of age, and I have been afflicted with an asthmatic cough since I was a boy of fifteen years of age; during that time 1 have resorted to every means in my power to remove it, but in vain, until last Sunday, when I sent for a small box of Dr. Locock's Wafers. I have taken two boxes since, and from the effects they have had upon me, I feel no doubt of a speedy recovery. G. STRINGER. Witness—M. Lynch, Chemist, Market-street.

I was labouring under one of those attacks of asthma to which I have been subject now for about 14 years. I have had the best medical advice the neighbourhood could afford, including two physicians at Birmingham, and one at Wolverhampton, but with no success. My breathing was so very difficult that I ex pected every inspiration to be my last; as for sleep, that was im possible, and bad been so for several weeks. The first dose (only two small wafers) gave me great relief—the second more so—in short, the first box laid the groundwork for the cure, which only four boxes have effected, and I am now quite well.

A NEW AND ELEGANT IMPROVEMENT IN ARTI- FICIAL TEETH. MR SAMUEL JORDAN, Surgeon Dentist, 72, Rodney-street, Liverpool, may be consulted on all Cases of DENTAL SURGERY, Daily, from Ten till Six. Mr. J. has availed himself of all the New Improvements from Paris and Berlin. His method of constructing and adapting Artificial Teeth is unerring, whilst his charges will be found exceedingly moderate, and quite as low as a proper exercise of professional skill and the employment of none but the very best materials and first-rate workmanship will admit of. 72, RODNEY-STREET, (DIRECTLY OPPOSITE MOUNT-STREET.) IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING. From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington. Gentlemen, —Having frequently suffered much from relaxation of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre. parations ; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re sort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE. To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

SURGEON-DENTISTS, MESSRS. GABRIEL'S mode of constructing ARTIFICIAL TEETH embraces all the latest improve. ments in the art. Partial and complete sets are made firmly to retain their poAtion in the mouth without the aid of springs or clasps, and are guaranteed to answer the purpose of mastication, and to restore perfect articulation. They never change colour nor decay, and so resemble the natural teeth as not to be detected by the closest o FILING DECAYED TEETH. Messrs. G. feel they cannot too strongly recommend this operation, as the advantages derived from it when skilfully per formed with a suitable composition are invaluable. It arrests the progress of decay, prevents tooth-ache, and renders the teeth serviceable for mastication. SCALING THE TEETH. The object of this operation, which is not attended with pain, is to remove the tartar deposited on the teeth, which, if allowed to remain, continues to ac cumu late, causing the gums to recede; the teeth then become loose, and eventually fall out. Children's Teeth examined and carefully regulated. TERMS FOR ARTIFICIAL TEETH A SINGLE TOOTH from 3s. 6d, A FULL SET DECAYED TEETH stopped, 2s. 6d.; with gold, ss.

This fine-flavoured and much-esteemed ALE, so largely in demand during the Christmas of 1851. Christmas 1852, and Christ mas 1853 and 1854, 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-building ,, , 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 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 India 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; Bards their quality. " R. H. BRETT, Ph. D., F.L.S., "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 inconteatible 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 teuds to preserve the vigour of toe stomach, and conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of the health of that organ, wheat 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 iermented, and made from the best and most wholesome 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 hays analysed,—l am, Sir, y ours _ respectfully, " f.H.,P,7IIDAN MUSPKATT, 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 L .... • .Anngj in \A nod nr Bottle for years, and never changes its brilliancy of co lour. t improves In long keeping.

"Sir.—Please to send me another quarter-barrel of Preston Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per B. L., and C. Railway, to Frodsbam. "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. 1 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 1 like to have it on the stillion fora couple of weeks before I begin to use it.

"Sir,-1 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. Aspinall, Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead." HENRY K. ASPINALL 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 Ligh prices. It is largely consumed at our clubs and hotels."
