TIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.—The COM-
MITTEE of the LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES beg to
acknowledge the following DONATIONS towards Liquidating the
present heavy Debt of the Charity, and earnestly to Appeal to the
Public for Support. In consequence of Cholera, of a most viru-
lent and fatal character, having visited the Town last year, the
operations of the Institution were most arduous and exte
icine ns
was
ive.
The number of Cases attended and supplied with Med
40,732, exceeding those of the previous year by 5,318. From
various causes the expenses were unavoidably augmented, whilst,
concurrently with the increased expenditure, and the debt re-
maining from the previous year, the Income suffered diminution
to the extent of upwards of £e6oo. NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS are
urgently Solicited, as the present Amount falls considerably short
of the Annual Expenditure. If this Inadequate Support and
Pressure of Debt be suffered to continue, there will be no alterna-
tive but to limit the operations of the Charity. The Committee
earnestly hope that an institution which has been in existence
nearly Eighty Years, and which affords Aid Annually to thou-
sands of the suffering Poor, thereby arresting Misery and
Disease to a vast extent, will plead eloquently in its behalf, and
be responded to by their Fellow-townsmen with ready Sympathy
and Support. JONATHAN BROOKS, President.
Dispensaries Office, 21, South Castle-street, July, 1855.
Subscriptions and Donations thankfully received by the Gentle-
men of the Committee, and at the Office, 21, South Castle-street,
from Ten to Eleven, and Three to Four o'clock, Daily.

MESSRS. ESTERO AND COMPANY,

Have been induced to Open the above Establishment for
the Sale of FOREIGN CIGARS only, and to suit Pri-
vate Consumers. Messrs. E. and Co. sell them in Cases
from One Pound and upwards, at 2s. 6d. per lb.
They being Manufacturers in Havana, are enabled to
obtain the most choice Leaf for their Cigars, together
with the best Brands of other celebrated Houses, and in
condition suitable for immediate consumption.
Thus the Public will have the advantage of obtaining
GENUINE HAVANA CIGARS,

from One to Two Cwt., and without paying those extra-
vagant charges usually demanded for small quantities.
An Extensive Supply always on the Premises and in
Bond.
The Trade, Hotelkeepers, and others have now an op-
portunity of supplying their customers with a genuine
Havana Cigar which has been until now so very difficult
to procure in convenient quantities; they will, at the
same lime, be liberally treated with.
Parties at a distance sending Post-office Orders for
2s. 6d. will, per return, receive a Case containing
One Pound of CIOARS. In sending Orders, please state if
Mild, Medium, or Full Flavoured is required.
