L. 11YAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, although well known to the
public, ar.d enjoying an unprecedented share of their confidence, do
not think it would be judicious to depnrtfrom their usual system, i
opening a new Establishment, of pointing out and explainin4 their
capabilities and mode of conducting their business, and likewise the
cadvantages to be derived by those who honour them with their
ommands.

L. HYANI and Co., B'3, Oxford-street, have half a century's
experience in business, with unlimited command of capital, and a
ralge of the most extensive establishments In all the principal towns
of Great Britain in successful operation, thus presenting advantages
of an extraordinary character such as never before were centered in
one firm.

L. lIYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, save all Intermediate
profits ; that which they do not manufacture themselves they obtain
direct from the first makers. By purchasing in this efficient
manner, they effect a saying " in intermediates alone," of at least
20 per cent.

I.
lIYAM and Co., a 6, Oxford-street, have procured for the
bespoke department an extensive and choice stock of Parisian and
West of England cloths, of every is.nade, colour, and quality. The
new materials for trowseritvo comprise plain and fancy doeskins,
hu;,kskins, and kerser:iieres, suitable either for dress, riding, or
walking. They are superb in texture, beautiful in colour, and of the
choicest designs
and Co., SG, Oxfore.-street, have selected from the best
and meat celebrated makers, French, Genoa. and British waistcoat
ingt. which are remarkably rich, brilliantly varied, of the most
':‘nique and novel styles ; in fact, the Pantechnetheca will comprise
within itself materials for making gentlemen's attire of every d ascrip-
tion in the first style of art, and unparalleled in the annals of fashion
and economy.

--,.. -
L. H YAM and Co., SC, Oxford-street, in order to render the Cutting
Department as effective as possible, have engaged Cutters of the
greatest talents, experience, and acknovrleged ablli ties ; and so satis-
fied are they of their qualifications and certainty of pleasing, that
they give a guarantee to that effect, anti, in order to test it, their
patrons have at all times the option of returning any garment which
may in any manner be disapproved of, though previously seen,
approved, chosen, and paid for.

L. lIYAM Mild Co , 86, Oxford-street, have elaborately fitted up
the departments of clothing for immediate wear with every requisite,
both useful and ornamental. Hera may be selected, frm a stock
exceeding 20,000/. in value, every description of apparel that talent
and ingenuity can devise or invent, consisting of dress and surtout
coats, waistcoats, trowsers, juvenile and servants' clothing,
&c., at prices that cannot fail to give tho most perfect sa-
tisfaction.

L. lIYA I and Co., 86, Oxford-street, mark every article in
plain, bold, and legible figures, the very lowest selling price,
from which no abatement can be made ; consequently insuring a uni-
form, undeviating, honest principle of business ; and any garment
that does not give the most unqualified approbation will be ex-
exchanged with pleasure, or if preferred, the money will be immedi-
ately returned.

THE CHINESE JUNK.—This extraordinary speci-
men of Oriental ingenuity is, we hear, to be presented to
the citizens of London iu a more accessible locality than
it at present occupies. Nothing, perhaps, can speak
more tor the interest with which it has been regarded
than the fact that it has been visited by nearly a quarter
of a million of individuals at Blackwell. Application
has been made to the navigation committee for permis-
sion to moor the junk at Temple-bar Pier, which is
situate, we may say, almost in the centre of the metro-
polis ; and if this be granted it will be a great conveni-
ence to the many thousands of our sight-seeing popula-
tion who have a shilling to spend, and will create a little
life in a neighbourhood sufficiently dull in these times.
It remains, however, to be seen whether the committee
and the water-bailiff will encourage the enterprise,
which has, at a vast expense, brought over the first ves-
sel of the kind that has ever reached this country from
China.

OPENING OF HULLAH'S NEW MUSIC HALL.—St.
Martin's Hall, the great building in Long-acre, erected
under the auspices of Mr. Hullab, and intended for the
accommodation of his singing schools, and for musical
performances on the largest scale, is now in such a
state of forwardness as to be partially available for its
contemplated objects. Tho class-rooms of the different
schools and the general lecture-room are completed;
and in the course of a few months the great ball, the
most spacious and noblest music-hall in England—pro-
bably in Europe—will be opened to the public. On
Wednesday evening Mr. Hullah opened the lecture-hall
by a performance of the pupils of his upper singing
school, attended by a considerable number of persons
inter. sted in the progress of music, among whom were
several eminent composers and professors. This hall is
very handsome room, capable, apparently, of contain-
ing seven or eight hundred persons, and of excellent
acoustical construction, the sound of the voices being
full and resonant, without echo or confusion. On this
occasion about four hundred pupils of the upper school
formed the chorus, the solo parts being filled by Mrs.
Noble (late Miss Duval), Mr. Benson, Mr. William
Seguin, and a young lady, one of the pupils, whose
vocal attainments are very considerable.
IRONAIA.STERS' QUARTERLY MEETING. Bin-
MINGFIAM, OCTOBER 11.—The third of the quarterly
meetings of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire and
Shropshire was held here to-day. The result was to
confirm the arrangement of prices, as already an-
nounced; but to-day orders were not quite so freely
given as had been anticipated, the manufacturers being
especially cautious in this respect. This gave an appear-
ance of flatness to the trade, which will in all probability
be but temporary; certainly the heads of the principal
works speak with confidence on the subject of the mama
tenanCe of existing prices until the end of the year.
The forges in blast are for the most part in pretty full
work, which seems indicative of the tact that orders are
by no means scanty. The present prices—taking the
best qualities—will be, for sheets, 71. 10s.; hoops, 61.105.;
bars, 61.; and pigs, 31.; of which last, especially, stocks
are smaller than usual. The final meeting of the trade
takes place at Dudley on Saturday night; but, judging
try present appearances, there is no probability what-
ever of any change in the determination to stand by
existing prices.
THREE LIVES LOST.--..t1t1 actident, involving tht
instantaneous destruction of the lines of three inditiduaie.
and the probable death of a foteth, occurred on Saturday
afternoon last, on a portion of the unfinished line of the
Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe, and West Yorkshire Rail-
way, near Whalley. At about the distance of a mile
from the above town the line crosses the riper Caldefrs by
means of a viaduct, which, at the time of the accident,
was fast progressing towards eompletion. The abut-
ments of the new bridge are Of stone, and the arches,
some of which were Itaished, are being constructed of
brick. At three o'clock oa the afternoon of Saturday
last, while the workmen were latsiiir etnaigda tut ntie of
the unfinished arches, the two nearest the rirer, an the
Billington side, suddenly gate war) :did fell with an
awful crash, burying ltt thel't ruins f.mr unfortunate
workmen, etnrl?,yed as labourers to the bricklayers, who
were wheeling bricks over the arches at the moment.
All the hands employed near the scene of the disaster
were immediately et work, to clear away the superin-
cumlsent debris, in the anxious hope of rescuing some of
the poor fellows, who were dug out In the following
order:—At a quarter-past three, John Lund, last of
Clitheroe, age unknown, leg fractured, and otherwise
dreadfully injured—not expected to recover ; at half-
past three, Thomas Keefe, late of Preston, aged 40--
dead; at a quarter-past four, John Forsyth, late of same
place, age unknown—dead ; at six o'clock, Charles
liarrison—dead. It is expected that a searching inves-
tigation will be made into the causes which led to the
accident. At present it cannot be accounted for, as the
"centres" had been withdrawn from the arches more
than a fortnight ago.
A MONSTER WEDDING.--There was recently, in
a country town near Prague, a monster wedding. No
1099 Shan fifteen Jewish couples were married In on!ilay;
and the solemn ceremony was assisted by their children
and grandchildren! The following is the solutiot!
.of
the enigma. Hitherto the number of Jewish families
permtted to live in Bohemia was limited by a cruel law
to 1,000. fence, a large number of clandestine mar-
riages had taken place among the Jews. Since, how-
ever, the emancipation of the Jews became the law of
the land, and these oppressive restrictions as to marriage

contracts legally acknowledged and their children legi-
timatised. This explains the marriage of gftEeil old
couples in one clay.—Jewish Chronicle.
