splendid house in Bold-street, in our town. The extent of
this establishment, the novel manner in :which-it-is fitfed
'up, and the variety and beauty of the stock, yesterday,
attracted great-attention.- • The houses ::we -understand, will
confine itself 'to the two branches of the- business, and this

-must prove- important to purchasers. There is another
fea.turnconnecteiwith_this house, and that is, they have -an
agent in Paris, who supplies the first fashions .at the
earliest tnoment, so-that everything novel can be-had as soon
as it makes its appearance-in the French. Metropolis. The
ladies -of -Liverpool, -and the surroundidt country, may,
therefore, calculate on the first fashions of tY) day, together
with material- that cannot
,be surpassed for durability,
cheapness, and beauty, and this must prove a desideratum
to all in our Northern Metropolis—and few there are who
will' not find. all they require at Messrs. Shellard and
Hodgson's, 40, Bold-street.

recessed and richly-moulded panel, of Gothic character,
.having in the centre a mural tablet, bearing an inscription,
and surmounted by a medallion portrait of the deceased.
The-tablet and medallion have been executed in statuary
•marble,. and the surrounding mouldings and foliage are in
:Caen stone. The, following is the inscription :—" To
'Christopher Rawdon, Esq., of Elm House, West Derby,
'Liverpool, this monument, in a spirit of affectionate respect,
is erected by his friends and fellow-Worshippers, who
'honoured him' as a good citizen, an earnest lover of truth
:and liberty, and a Christian gentleman. The last years of
:his advanced life, amidst infirmity and suffering, were
devoted to the establishment of a fund, to which- he and
his brOther, Jas. Rawdon---a
.brother in all good works---
munificently contributed, for the support of an educated
:ministry, and a free gospel among his poorer fellow-
,Christians. Born at Halifax, April 13, 1780; Died at
Elm House, October 22, 1858." The whole has been
executed by Mr. Edward Stirling, from a design by Mr.
:Edward 'Thornely, of this town, architect.
UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, EGREMONT.—A preach-
ing station, in connection with the above church, was opened
on Sunday last, according to •announcement;the Rev. James
Tnwcrs, of Birkenhead, presiding in the morning, and Dr.
Macfarlane, of .Erskine- Church, Glasgow, in the evening.
The meetings were field in Ale large rooms of the Egremont
Hotel, close to the ferry, and both morning and evening
services were numerously attended: A 'Sabath school Was
aIS9 opened in the afternoon, and attracted "over sixty
-scholars. No special collections were made at either of-the
Services, but the free offerings of the people put into" the
:door plate,, according to presbyterian usage,' showed a
,v6ry
liberal spirit on the part of those present. The want of a
prestiyterian church has been long felt in this locality, and
it is hoped the, present movement will be well supported hy
the members of the body residing there, and by those who

.visit New Brighton and Egrern ont during the summer
season, in quest of health, and also by all parties interested
in the spread of a catholic christianity. A tea meeting is to
'take place on Thursday evening Dr. Macfarlane and other
members are expected to be present. Dr. Macfarlane also
preaches morning and evening on Sabbath, the Bth instant,
and will preside at the service on Wednesday evening, the
-4th instant.

THE MAY-DAY Puocesstoxs.---The procession of public
_carts, coal drays, and the like,.took place yesterday, for the
first of " Merry. May." The day was rather fine, but
nothing to boast of ; it might be mistaken for a fine day
'towards the end of January. However, the procession took
place. The carters mustered. strong,. and the horses were
,very much stronger, and the quantity of ribbons that
adorned the tails and garnished the heads and necks of the
animals would have furnished a respectable haberdashery
,slop in Whiteehapel. The taste displayed .in the decora-
tiensof the horses might have been shown to adyantage in
some of the houses of the drivers---the latter, by the way,
were well dressed, and looked like happy contented fellows.
The following were remarkable in: the proCessiotr,—lind
attracted great attentien. '['he carts of Messrs. BTundell
and Sons, coat merchants; -Messrs. Barton, in the same
trade-; Mr. -Maefie, sugar refiner ; Mr. Lupton ; "the
Kirkless Hall, and many others. We have not seen a
better " turn•out" for-some years than yesterday presented.
There was hardly a cart of any sort, size, or description
that:vas not put forward to the best advantage, and the
animals decorated might..have done credit to a _Roman
triumph. Everything weal off in the best manner, and may
fife happy carters enjoy many returning "May days"' The
employees of Messrs. Blundell were regaled, at the ',cost- of
their employers, at a substantial dinner, at the rear of Mr.
Morrish!s, Merchants' Dining-rooms, Tit iltebarn-street, where
they were supplied by Mr. Morrish with the best of fare,
superintended by Mr. R. Childs. Good humour and happi-
ness prevailed, and may all live long to enjoy. `happy re-
turas of the Ist of May. *-
