FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an
; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual, How this may
be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS
in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
*;ores, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

TO LADIES.
The high and universal celebrity which
ROWLAND-S' KALYDOR
continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing ex-
tirpator of all impurities of the skin, is during the period of spring,
most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, eminently balsamic,
restorative, and invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in
application, as for unfailing efficacy in eradicating all redness, tan,
pimples, spots, freckles, discolouratisms, and other cutaneous visita-
tions. The radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek, and the softness
and delicacy which it induces in the hands and arms, render it indis-
pensable to every toilet.
Gentlemen, after shaving, will and it allay all irritation and ten-
derness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its
purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive
selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Itoyal
Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe.

mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their

The settling commenced this morning, and, as far as
it went, was satisfactory; several large accounts, how-
ever, stand over for settling in town, and until they are
closed it is impossible to say how it will turn out;
there is every reason to expect that it will be harmless.
The weather continues favourable,

The Confiance steam-tug arrived at Woolwich yester-

A smack in coming down the river to-day very nearly

the leading houses, however, have only now commenced
exhibiting, and amongst them that of Messrs. Jay, of
Regent-street. In the fancy goods already shown there
is much that is new, particularly in the half-mourning
fabrics. The latter, indeed, were never more elegant in
design or exquisite in texture, having at length assumed
that high position in variety and taste which forms so
great a contrast to the dingy character of but a few years
since.—Post.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]--A Dreadful Enlargement of
the Knee Cured by .Holloway's Pills.—Abram Banks, an
elderly man living near the Dry Creek, South Australia, had
such a painful affection and enlargement of the knee that he
despaired of ever recovering the use of his limbs, the numerous
remedies that he made trial of failing to banish or even to
mitigate the disease. In this suffering condition be was ad-
vised to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and he corn-
ntenced a regular application of them, which in a short time
effected a complete cure. The Adelaide Obselver, of the 25th
March, 1848, publishes this as one among the many astonish-
ing cures effected in south Australia by these invaluable Medi-
cines.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professur Holloway's

SHEPHERD'S, OR ESKDALE PLAID.—Very few re-
flect upon the' bustle and activity which the changes and
eccentricities of the fashions sometimes create in our
manufacturing towns. To mention only a few instances
of the kind would be a task, but one of recent occur-
rence may be interesting. The material known as tho
Shepherd's, or Eskdale Plaid, has been long much ad-
mired for its neatness and durability; but until after the
visits of Royalty to Scotland, and the consequent train
of tourists, very small quantities found their way across
the Border. Now, however, it is very generally worn
in the metropolis and the provinces, and the production
of the article, which a few years ago was confined to
Mrs. Marion Grieve, of Langholm, now gives employ-
ment to thousands. Its manufacture is centered at
Langholw, now a busy bustling town on the Scottish
border, embosomed by hills, and beautifully situated at
the confluence of three streams, where the Duke of
13uceleuch has a delightful summer retreat. The store
farmers in the neighbourhood, who are very numerous,
are greatly benefited by this influx of trade, having
their wool consumed at home, instead of sending it to
distant parts.
