IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is
with much regret that the Committee find themselves com-
pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this
Institution. Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from
a falling off in Donations and Legacies, which amounted, in 1852,
to ; 1853, ce1,315 ; 1854, £775; and the high prices of all
Articles of Consumption, the past year closed with a heavy Debt
of nearly .'✓'l,4oo, which is daily increasing, from the same causes
being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc-
cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto
afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community; a
course much to be deprecated, and one from which rue Committee
hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re-
sorting. EDWARD GIBBON, Chairman.
ROBERT HUTCHISON, Treasurer.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1855

LADIES and GENTLEMEN who wish to have
their Hair DRESSED in the most Fashionable and Be-
coming Manner, and CUT, so as to prevent its falling off, are
invited to try
DEAKE'S ESTABLISHMENT,
19, RANELAGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
where the above advantages can be ensured to them. Please to
observe—OPPOSITE THE WATERLOO HOTEL.

LIVERPOOL, August 4, 1855.
;ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS.-
Owing to the entire absence of Speculative operations in
the Market, concurrently with an, increase in the Imports,
and a marked improvement in the quality of good Medium
Tea, which has become the more' observable as the season
has advanced, we are enabled to call the attention of
Families to the article which can now be furnithed at
3,11 per lb.
Altkpugh the Duty upon Tea was raised 3d. per lb. in the month
of April this year—still, in consequence of a large Stock of Tea
havinibeen pressed on the Market, which affords a wider scope
for thi selection of suitable qualities, we are in a position to
supply,Families upon unusually favourable terms.
TheJEFFECTS OF SPECULATION IN TEA HAVE BEEN LATELY
NO ligas CONSPICUOUS THAN DlSASTROUS.:—Notwithstanding
the clearest practical evidence, which lies, been furnished season
after season, that England, as well as every other country, can
be abundantly supplied with Tea from China, of every quality
and in any quantity, the spirit of reckless and inordinate Specu-
lation has continued as rife as ever, until arrested this year by
ruinous tosses.—This foolish propensity having been laid prostrate
by the dire consequences which it has brought upon itself, we may
now. for some time anticipate a healthier tone in the Market, and
we have every confidence that the change resulting from this will
enable us to give every advantage to our extended connection Of
consumers, which continued inflexible adherence to quality is
calculated to secure.

We remain,
