SHELLARD AND ITODGSON,
In presenting their Sheet of Fashions for the Spring of Eighteen Hundred and Sixty, beg to inform the Ladies of
Liverpool, Cheshire, and the surrounding neighbourhood, that the alteration and extension of Premises, at 40, BOLD-
STREBT, are now completed, and the result fully justifies their anticipation of producing a series of spacious and well
lighted SHOW-ROOMS, where every facility can be afforded to Ladies for selecting and judging of the style, fit, and
chromatic arrangement of the different Novelties with which the Saloons abound, while the additional available space
allows the stock to be so classified that each particular description forms a department in itself, thereby enabling the
ernployi in attendance on the instant to submit for the inspection of an intending purchaser the particular style of
garment enquired for. This is a desideratum that has long been required, more particularly where several members
of a family residing at a distance from Liverpool require to be suited, and whose time when in town is necessarily
limited.

Great attention has also been paid to the Manufacturing Department, and by the aid of talented Designers and
Cutters, and Workpeople of experience, combined with extensive and well ventilated work-rooms and machine-rooms,
and a judicious subdivision of labour, they are enabled to execute orders of any magnitude at one day's notice.

ON THIS AND FOLLOWING DAYS,
SHELLARD AND HODGSON
will be prepared with an entirely
NEW AND CAREFULLY MANUFACTURED STOCK OF
CLOAKS, MANTLES, SHAWLS, AND JACKETS,

Mid, aided by the vastly increased facilities which their NEW PREMISES will afford, together with the favourable
position in which they are placed by the unprecedented success which attended their late SELLING OFF, they will be

• in a position to offer
•
E IIY ARTICLE PERFECTLY NEW AND OF THE MOST RECENT FASHIONS.

Their Buyers have now returned from the London and Continental Markets, and, from the Commercial Treaty with
France, entirely ABOLISHING ALL DUTY UPON MANUFACTURED SILK GOODS having come into operation,
they fully anticipate that this season will far surpass any preceding one in the extent, variety, and comparative cheap-
ness of French importations.

In calling attention te the accompanying illustrations, SHELLARD and HODOSON would observe that, at this
early period of the season, it is merely a matter of speculation as to what particular style will become most popular.
It appears, however, beyond a doubt, that any shape or style to obtain the slightest chance of achieving even temps-
rary success, must be made very large, and with Sleeves, either complete or assumed. Many very elegant Novelties in
this way will be tumid among the first importations from Paris.

The EOTJAVE JACKET still reigns triumphant in the fashionable world. Those of Velvet will give place to
materials of a lighter texture. They are now being made in Laffetes, and also In Cashmere of different colours—
ktincipally China Blue, 'Violet, and. White.
The Colours for those of TAFFETAS are Blue, White, Rose, Maize, and any one of the lighter Shades, co that it
.-irmonises the rest of the toilette. The Black' Taffetas Zouave is always simple and pretty, and has the
aeing quite free from any eccentricity of appearance-. These Jackets are no longer quilted, but simply
. Taffetas of a contrasting shade. Thus the Black or White with Coloured Silk, the Coloured with White.
The lining is bordered with a narrow ruche of the same colour, generally placed so that it shows a little beyond the
edge, and the outside has a trimming Of marrow guipure round it, which falls over the ruche. The Embroideries of
Gold or Silver give to these a more particular style, which many ladies do not admire.
A little later in the season we shall find them made in Muslin for Sumner Dresses.

We even now meet with them in Lace for Soirets or for Dialler Dress. Round the foundation, 'which is generally
of tulle, is a broad Lace falling over the Dress, forming a flounce, or ruche. The Sleeves are made very lane, and
opened up, and trimmed round with Lace, end whoa dressily worn, have no under sleeves, but have the arm
uneoverest—From L. Toilet.

FROM THE "TIMES," April Bth, 1860
• :
"GREAT DISPLAY OF FRENCH GOODS IN BOLD-STREET.
" The Commercial Treaty with France has certainly Riven an impetus to the Shopkeepers in Liverpool, and French

Goods are beginning to be largely imported. The rapidly increasing Business of Messrs. Sheßard and Hodgson—a
Business confined entirely to Shawls, Mantles, and Jackets for Ladies—has compelled an extension of their already
very elegant and spacious Establishment. Amongst the more prominent alterations have been the throwing the First
and Second Floors of the Houses, 40, BOLD-sTREST, and 43, WOOD-STESUT, into a series of spacious and splendidly-
lighted Show Rooms, second to none in the Kingdom, probably for these qualities. The extra apace thus given
affords ample room for the effective display of the elegant Stock which bas just been got in. We understand that the
Buyers of the Establishment have just returned from London and Paris, and that the French Commercial Treaty. by
which Silk and other Goods are admitted Free of Duty, has enabled the French Designers and Manufacturers to
produce many novelties that have attracted the attention of the buyers for the British Market. Anticipating a very
large demand, the supply of Goods from the hands of. the French Manufacturers has been of a corresponding
magnitude ; and availing themselves of the facilities offered to them, Messrs. SNSLLAILD and HODGSON have purchased
largely of very rich Goods, which they will show early in the ensuing week.", . , ,
