AMORE important period than the present for purchasing unquestionably EXCELLENT, USEFUL, AND SUPERIOR GENERAL DRAPERY has never occurred arising from the peculiar juncture of those o •erful agencies which have had the most alarming, gen , and distressing in fluence upon commercial operation PUBLIC . C AMITIES, or the causes that check e tide of national prosperity and happiness, are not Brat 1 subjects upon which to dwell; but it must be a matter of d ep regret to all possessed of enlarged and benevolent views to witness the disastrous consequences re sulting from the rash credulity with which so vast a number have involved themselves in RAILWAY DIFFICULTIES, which paralyze the manufacturing energies of the country, and leave yet untold many a fearful tale of deplorable and utter ruin. Casualties against which human sagacity affords no pro tection, such as the present MONETARY EMBARRASSMENTS, together with the almost unexampled duration of MILD AND UNSEASONABLE WEATHER, have caused large Stocks of TVinter Goods to remain on hand, in order to prevent further depreciation in value, must be cleared off at such prices as must induce purchases, not only for present, but ANTICIPATED NECESSITIES. To many unconnected with Trade this may be difficult of comprehension : to the man of business it is too painfully intelligible. JOHN BRISCOE, 60 & 62, OLDHALL-STREET, has secured several extensive- Lots of Goods that have been recklessly thrown into the London markets by various Mann- facturers, alarmed at the late POLITICAL CRISIS, and which are now offered for _sale at prices that bear no rela tion to real value. A quotation of Prices, it is to be regretted, as used by the mass of advertisers, is generally fallacious, but the following brief enumeration will furnish a slight medium by which to judge of the advantages and general character of the Goods now offered : CHIOCE SPITALFIELIDUCAPES . AND TURCS, IN CHECKED, STRIPED, PLAIN, AND SHOT, From Bid. per Yard. FASHIONABLE TARTAN SCARF SHAWLS, at 7s. 10d Superior GALA PLAIDS, ALL WIDTHS, from 6id. COBURGS, ORLEANS, AND MERINOS, IN FIGURED, STRIPED, and SHADED, at 9d. TASTEFUL CASIDIERES & DE LAINS, ss. &t. the Dress. THE ENTIRE FUR STOCK, GREATLY REDUCED. SEVERAL BALES OF REAL WELSH.

HOWELL'S PATENT DOUBLE ACTION DOOR SPRING. T HE Patentee respectfully presents the above to the notice of ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, AND GENTLEMEN CONNECTED WITH PUBLIC OFFICES, &C., &C., The advantages of this Spring consist in the simplicity of its construction, and, consequently, less iehittty . to derangement. The improved Centres offer t atest resistance when the Doors are in a cloacd. poni , but - .Then etas ted the opening becomes easier, whereby ingress and egress are readily obtained without that continual thrust required against Doors hung upon the ordinary principles. By means of the regulating screw these Springs may be made to suit doors of any size and weight. The 'have also two important advantages which no other Springs possess : that of allowing the Doors to go quite round, if required, and by means of the graduating power the velocity of the Door in shutting is much retarded, being double the Power in opening to what it is in closing. In their economy, in connexion with their durability, these Springs defy all compe tition.

An Experienced ASSISTANT WANTED, LIVERPOOL AND LEEDS DIRECT RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. • SIR, ---The very important position w hi c h ra il w ays now hold in the public mind, and the impartial manner in which that interest has been represented in your paper, induce me to request that you will, with the vied of preventing a de ception calculated to inflict great ißinry in this populous dis trict, place the following ques s before the public, in order that parties who have the er to answer them may either relieve themselves fro erious charges, or withdraw from a hopeless contest, in w ch vast sums of money must be uselessly expended, and m parties necessarily placed in great diffi culties and distress. The questions to which I refer relate to the Live' peel mitt Lee is Direct niinvi - ay, =ITCH is stated to tie a scheme emanating- from a solicitor in London, un engineer, and a Mr. , all parties connected with a weekly railway news paper, in which paper this scheme forms the subject of a leading article weekly, and is extolled as the most promising project of the day. I therefore wish to know— 1. Is it true that these three parties are interested in this railway newspaper ? 2. Do they make that publication entirely subservient to bolstering up this scheme ? 3. D4l two of these gentlemen, at the commencement, go into Yorkshire and Lancashire, and represent ? for the purpose of gaining local support ? that they were acting in concert with the existing railways in the district? 4. Did many gentlemen, from such representation, give their names, and afterwards withdraw them on finding they h a d bees deceived ? 5. Did they not allot the shares (that are allotted) very gene rally to local gentlemen who had made no application for them, accompanied by a letter of explanation, the greater part of which were unnoticed by the parties • and although the few shares that were let loose on the public were, by newspaper puffing during the height of the mania, run up to .tvs premium, has a third of the required capital been signed for in the parlia mentary deed ? 6. Does not tt partial knowledge of this fact make shares perfectly unsaleable at any price ? 7. Are there not between Littleborough and Leeds about 23 miles, with a gradient of I in 103, with 10 miles of tunnel, with other works—in viaducts, embankments, and cuttings of six miles—as expensive, or more so, than even tunnelling, an d no part of it more than three miles from an existing railway to the same points, with good gradients ? 8. If such a project could ever pass through parliament, is not the whole scheme surrounded by hostile railways? 9. Is it not without a station or communication with any town without passing on some part of one or other of these hostile linesy fo. bees it not commence on the East Lancashire line, near Bury, 30 miles from Liverpool ? .11. Is it not now in such a position as to make it imperative on any of the respectable men who joined it in ignorance of its true character to withdraw, and insist upon the wreck of the amount of deposit left, if an y, b e i ng returned to the parties Alio hold the scrip, in preference to passing into the pockets of otter parties ? 12. How many of the provisional committee now hold any of the scrip ? And, 13. Is it not well known that, with the exceptions here stated, the allotments were limited until they had all sold their shares, .anti that they will now quietly oppose the line ?
