Mr. SIMPSON, of the CAMPAIGN IN THE CRIMEA, comprising ail the principal Scenes, from the FIRST GUN AT BULJANAK TO THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. Repository of Arts, 26, Church-street. SHAKSPEARE'S MACBETH! The Management respectfully announces the revival of this Tragedy, in an entirely original form of Dramatic and Artistic Irectiveness, to achieve which result most indefatigable research has been employed, and an outlay commensurate with its im portance freely expended. The original Text of Shakspeare is carefully adhered to, and Two Scenes restored which are omitted from the usual Stage tkepresentations. The valuable assistance of Mr. BARRY SULLIVAN Has been secured expressly for the character of Macbeth; and Mrs. VICKERY, From the Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, will make her First Ap pearance in Liverpool, in the character of Lady Macbeth. THE VOCAL MUSIC, . Usually attributed to Matthew Locke, out Which antiquarian re search has proved to be the composition of John Eccles, will be retained, on account of its great beauty, character, and popularity, though not appertaining to the original text. The Instrumental accompaniments to the same are entirely re-arranged (and in part 4 0nIposed) by Thomas German Reed. The March of Macbeth's Army, the Bardic Music in the Banquet Scene, the Incantation Music in the Fourth Act, and the various charges and flourishes, composed and arranged expressly for this revival by EDWARD FITZWILLIASI. Previous to the Trazedy the Orchestra, under the direction of M. BusnEz (Musical Director), will perform the First Movement of Spohr's celebrated Overture to " Macbeth ;" and between the Acts the following classical Works, namely :—The Overture to " Ruy Bias" (Mendelssohn) ;" the Overture to " Der Berggheist" (Spolir) ; the " Marcia Funebre," from the " Eroica Sinfonia" (Beethoven); and the "Grand Triumphal )larch," by F. Ries. THE SCENERY, Designed entirely by Mr. DEARLOVE jun. and Painted by him, assisted by Mr. Gitoaoi DAWSON. The Architecture previous to the Norman Conquest bas been adopted. During the five centuries which preceded that event raany Castles and Churches had been erected of considerable im portance; the buildings excelled in Ironwork, and were frequently Ornamented with Colour. THE COSTUMES By Mr. and Mrs. harm Es. The very uncertain information possessed respecting the Dress worn by the inhabitants of Scotland in the eleventh century, renders the attiring of the characters in Macbeth a task of very great difficulty. The nobles and common people wore mantles of one sort, long and flowing, and shaggy rugs. The nobles wore mantles of varie- Med colours ; the common people mantles of a brown colour, near to the colour of heather. They wore no stockings, but botines, made of the skins of deers or other animals. Many of the Scotch went with bare heads, allowing their hair to grow very long. The Scottish fema'e habit consisted of a long robe, girdled round the waist, with a full and flowing mantle, denominated the THE ARMOUR AND WEAPONS. By Mr. BROMLEY. The ancient Scottish weapons were the spear, the battle-axe, the bow, and the sword, (cleadheamh-more.) Their defensive armour—a shirt of ring mail, and round targets covered with bull's hi:le, and studded with nails, and bosses of brass or iron. The eagle feather in the helmet was the distinguishing mark of a chieftain. The armour of the English forces is copied from the Bayeux tapestry. THE MACHINERY, Which is of a most elaborate description, has been made under B. L the direction of MM. B. :ToNgs. The Stage Business directed by Mr. F. L. VILLIERS; and the Whole of the arrangements, end mire-ex-scene, produced under the personal superintendence of Mr. W. R. CoPELAND.

H E P A TENT GAS REGULATOR 1. insures a saving of Twenty-five per Cent. upon former consumption ' while at the same time a more brilliant light is obtained , and the upleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect combustion, avoded. Gas is generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure of l# inch of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments have demonstrated that, when of good quality, it is most economically burnt at a pressure of 4-10ths of an inch. The PATENT REGULATOR, when once adjusted, continues to furnish Gas at one uniform pressure, unaltered by tl,e constant fluctuations of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent of the number of burners it supplies. At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted up to demonstrate the results as above stated. HUGHES AND SMITH, BRITISH AND FOREIGN PATENT OFFICES, 14, CLAYTON-SQUARE, 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 wards their quality. " R. H. BRETT, Ph. D., F.LS., "And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence." Dr. Sheridan Maspratt's opinion of Aspinall'sPale 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 contain 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 heat kind of Hops and Malt, anti 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 mutt 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, anti conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of the health of that organ, when debilitated. Your Preston Pans Beer is a very nice fight 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 anatyaed.-1 am, Sir, yours respectfully, " SHERMAN MUSPRATT,' F.R.S., "Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. "Professor of Chentistry." Tht demand for this fine-flavoured ALE is greatly on the in crease, Merchants. Bottlers, and Ilotelkeepers 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.

" I suppose you do not require that empty crske should always he 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 stiilion for a couple of weeks before I begin to use it.

This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was considered a romance ; but now, the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public opinion proclaims BLAIR'S PILLS as one of the most important discoveries of the present age; and in testimony of its efficacy, j c ,oN. J. GILES, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagshot, says:—" Having suffered much from acute Rheumatism, I was induced to try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my testimony to their efficacy." Mr. WILLIAM COURTNEY, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says : "Having suffered much from Gout, I had resort to Blair's Pills. and within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the world." Mr. W. TAYLOR, bookseller, Warminster, Wilts, writes : "Wm. Penny, of anon, Wilts, was afflicted with Rheumatism, to such an extent that he could not move hand or foot; he was recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly procured a box at Mr. Taylor's, from which he derived so much benefit, that he sent for another, which effected a complete cure." GARRETT FOSTER Gum., Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London. writes :—" Whenever I feel any symptoms of Gout approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valua ble that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that came. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suffered ; but on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's Pills is towards its improvement." These Pills require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part ; and in consequence of the great and increasing demand for this useful Medicine, the Proprietor has obtained permission from Her Ma jesty's Commissioners of Stamps to have the name and addressor " THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London," impressed upon the Government Stamp, affixed to each lies of the Genuine Medicine!
