SHARES in the ATHENAEUM WANTED. Liverpool, Ist December, 1843. THOMAS DOWNWARD, TAILOR AND DRAPER, No. 20, TARLTON-STREET, WISHES to impress upon the minds of all purchasers that, it' they study ECONOMY in DRESS, he now offers an advantage rarely to be met with. He has resolved, from conviction, to solicit the support of the Public ; in doing which he begs to lay before them a sketch of what he believes to he the present position of the Trade, in which he has been for a number of years en gaged, and the absolute necessity of some change in the system hitherto pnrsued in this business : the opening of this. Establishment is the result. It must, therefore, be obvious to all, that an Estahlishmen* which shall combine all the requisites of Style, Quality, and Workmanship, of the first houses, at moderate prices, would furnish a de sideratum in the trade. The advertizer feels assured that he can offer to the public all these advantages, by the introduction of the principle of Cash Payments for every article which he makes. Every garment produced by him will be made by first-class workmen only ; none others will be employed. _ _ T. B. will be prepared to offer the Best Black Dress Coat, average size, for £3 ; made from a quality of cloth of a fineness rarely used. He can offer a Frst-rate Coat for £2 14s. These garments, in Cut, Style, and Work manship, shall be equal to those produced by the most Fashionable Houses. If it should be asked how all the requisites of Style, Quality, and Workmanship can be furnished at such prices, so strikingly different from those existing, the answer is simple. Let any gentleman select from a respectable Woollen Draper a coat length of the best West of England Wool-dyed Black Cloth, say, for an average size, one yard and three-quarters, at 235. per yard; and then add the Makings, as below, end the ques tion is answered. In closing this brief sketch of the sub- ject, be begs to say he does no more, and professes to do no more than any respectable house can do by adopting the same method of business ; his object being not to cover deception by flaming profession. but to take unoeu pied ground upon the true, xnerit• of the qnsation. The Advertiser would call particular attention to the Making tip Department, as hearing testimony to the true charac ter of this Establishment, which is to offer advantages hitherto denied to the public by the first-class traders. Where is the individual who has not many times experi ced the difficulty of having his own materials made up with any approach to fit and style, owing to the fact that fashionable Tailors object to making up any cloth but that furnished by themselves? True they do occasionally make up a garment for a customer as a favour, but do not generally cultivate this important branch of the business. Many respectable Woollen Drapers in town reg ularly keep stocks, which, for extent and variety, no Tailor would be justified in keeping , where any Gentleman may select articles of novelty, and quality of the first manu facture. These houses, buying at short terms and selling principally for cash, can offer their goods to the purchaser at very low prices. That gentlemen who would rather select their Materials for Dress where there is abundant choice and reasonable prices, do not avail themselves of the advantage to a greater extent, arises from the before-mentioned difficulty of meeting with a Tailor to do justice to their garments; many submitting t an overcharge rather than run the probable ri s k of m i sfits. The a dvertiser feeling fully the extent of the public wants in this respect, is resolved to supply the deficiency in the trade which has sn long existed ; he earnestly solicits the support of the Public in car rying it into effect. He is determined that every garment brought to him to make shall receive the same attention in every particular as those where the material is furnished by himself. The Customer finding his own cloth, may, therefore, calculate as certainly upon the fit and style of his Garment as though he ordered it entire from a first-rate House and paid the highest price for it. Gene emen intending to furnish their own material may, upon application, be informed what lengths they require for each garment. The prices charged for making are as below; all quotations are for cash on delivery : Dress Coat making £l 0 0 Trowsers do. Vest do, .. THE NINTH EDITION.

The Tower and Gallery erected November, 1842. The School., Enlarged November, 1842. ORIGINAL DEBT, £990. T . HE kind Sympathy of the Christi an P u bli c i s mos t earnestly directed to the fact, that the entire respon sibility of the Debt incurred on behalf of St. James's Church and Schools, situated in a Manufacturing Dis trict, in the poorest part of Clitheroe, is hanging over the Minister, which so heavily weighs upon his mind as ne cessarily to retard the exercise of his ministerial labours. ST. JAMES'S CHURCH AND SCHOOLS, CLITHEROE, _ _ Under the Acta of 1 and 2 William IV., cap. 38, and 1 arid 2 Victoria, cap. 107. The case of St. James's Church and Schools, Clitheroe, is submitted to the consideration of the friends of the Church, and the cause of Religion, under a conviction that the peculiar circumstances connected with them—the original want of Church accommodation, the efforts made to supply that want, and the blessing which has appeared to rest upon those efforts,—may justify an Appeal to the Public. The population of Clitheroe, there is every reason to suppose, amounts at this time to 7,000, for which the old church offers barely 1,100 sittings, a proportion of which are allotted to the inhabitants of three other townshi; s in the same chapelry ; and the population (which has in creased to its present amount from 1,368, in 1801,) is in creasing in the same rapid rate, through thR activity and extent of the manufacturing establishments. To provide for this lamentable want, through the exertions of Dr. Powell, and some other friends of true religion, St. James's Church, containing 688 sittings, was built in the year 1839, at the end of Clitheroe, most remote from the paro chial chapel, in the immediate neighbourhood of factories which employ not less than 1,700 hands, and within a mile and a half of others, where more than 1,500 are em ployed. Seven-eighths of the congregation and commu nicants are of the labouring classes, principally young people from these factories. Owing to a deficiency of funds, the Church was left un finished ; but, in order to accommodate the increasing ctien g e r d e i g fi a c t e i o a n d , a p a te g d a l i l n e r s y h o me a s m s e i a n s c u e re b t e o e i n ts c s o a n cr s le t u r dfi u t c a t t ed, an d ien character by scholars,d decentthe erection iinprov of a tower ements.T and ome • other helar a geincrese (250 within twelve months) has rendered the enlargement and additional furnishing of the school-Louse indispensa ble. In providing for this religious and educational destitu tion (although the services of the architect were given gratuitously), a debt of £990 has been incurred, towards liquidating which the moderate contributions are earnestly solicited of those who have a stake in the peace and sta bility of the country, and who need not be reminded that the removal of ignorance is the "cheapest defence of Mi. tinny;" of those who feel an interest in the welfare of im mortal souls, and who wish that the operative classes. whilst labouring in the concerns of time, should also make provision for eternity.
