LARGEST RETAIL STOCK OF FURS IN THE KINGDOM,

'COMPRISING EVERY DESCRIPTION,
And all the Novelties that have yet appeared in the London or
Par Wan Markets.
In inviting the Ladies to an inspection thereof, he does not
wish to holdoutany absurd inducement. He feels, however,
gratified in observing, that as he purchases his Skins precisely
upon the same terms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also
Manufactures them, he obtains thereby an advantage over the
smaller purchaser, who merely retails them, and is enabled
to charge much Lower than they possibly can. The Esta-
blishment is, moreover, exclusively devoted to the Sale of
FURS; and the great extent and variety of the Stock will not
be found surpassed in any Retail House in England‘
SABLE GOODS will this year be fully TWENTY PER
CENT. LOWER than similar Goods, were last season.
To ALTERATIONS and REPAIRS it will always be his
study to devote as much attention and care as if he was en-
gaged in the manufacture of new articles; and as he never
trusts them to other than the most clever artizans the trade
can produce, and takes every care that all the departmeifts of
his House are under his own inspection, and on the premises,
he has the utmost security for the punctual and faithful exe-
cution of every order with which he may be entrusted.

SHAWLS, MANTLES, TARTANS.
THIS EStablishment was opened in The year 1830,
fov'the exclusive sale of every description of SHAWLS,
MANTLES, and SCOTTISH CLAN TARTANS, and has been
distinguished above all others, during seventeen years, for the
beauty and magnitude of the Stock kept, as well as the extreme
moderation of price charged for each article. It is the Pro-
prietor's aim, at the opening of each season, to present to his
numerous customers a superb assemblage of all that is
FASHIONABLE and* RARE in this elegant department of
LADIES' COSTUME, and how far he has succeeded in this
the Ladies of Liverpool and surrounding country will be able
to bear testimony, it being his conviction that they have fully
appreciated the Establishment from the greatly increasing
trade demanding an extensive enlargement of the Premises
from time to time, and from the fact of so many recommenda-.
tions proceeding front Families here to others residing in Ches-
ter, Manchester, Preston, and other more distant localities of
Lancashire and Yorkshire, who, from the facilities afforded by
railway travelling, make all their purchases now regularly at
this Establishment, because FASHION and ,ECONOMY are
here combined. The Proprietor is desirous of calling special
attention to the CLOAK and MANTLE Department,. which
since the late extensive alterations on the Premise's, is now
conducted under the able superintendence of a Female, whose
experience in Paris and London fully qualifies her to take the
entire direction of it; and Ladies will find such a Stock as to
enable them to select Two, Three, Four, or half a dozen at once,
if required, in the various materials of VELVET, SATIN,
WATERED SILK, TARTAN, &c., all elegantly trimmed in
the most modern style of Fashion,•and at extremelylOw prices.
Another Department which requires special notice is the
SCOTTISH CLAN TARTAN, but it is, only necessary to say
that this is the only Establishment where the Public can be
supplied with the genuine Clans, and in the various qualities, it
having been distinguished as the "SCOTTISH CLAN TAR-
TAN WAREHOUSE" for many years. •

SYKES' ORIENTAL CAMPHOR TOOTH PASTE.
milt preMature decay of the TEETH arises from
1. various causes, but chiefly from early neglect, ill health,
and the use of Tooth Powders containing Mineral end other
Acids, which gise a'femperary whiteness to the Teeth, uviile
they quickly corrode the enamel. This Paste imparts to Teeth,
however foul and discoloured, a pearly whiteness, a healthy
redness and firmness to-the Gums; eradicates Scurvy, and,
from its aromatic quality, sweetens the breath, and will be
found highly refreAing to the mouth after its use.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
A LARGE quantity of CANDLES having been

ruinotr4 to honest Traders, the TALLOW CHANDLERS of
LIVERPOOL, in self-defence, beg to state that they have ob-
tained Samples of the same from several Dealers, and having
weighed them at the Public Market Office, find they are inva-
riably from Ten to Twelve Ounces in the Dozen Pounds short
of weight; and believing that a profit thus fraudulently oh-
tained is as injurious to the Public as to themselves, they
c,erefore venture to hope that no Grocer will countenance so
,isreputable a proceeding, and that no respectable House-
keeper will patronise. those Dealers who connive at the same.

'IIIIE SLAVE CAPTAIII,
A LEGEND OF LIVERPOOL.
By JOHN DIGNAN, •
Author of "A Romance of Liverpool Life with Illustration%
by Landells.
" We had occasion to speak in warm terms of Mr. Dig,nan's
' Romance of Liverpool Life,' but the present work of fiction
far transcends, in our opinion, the former one."—Albion.
i` The editorial habits of Mr. Dignan have insured conde-o,z
tion and a striking brevity of detail, while the hand of -Ae
practised litterateur is to be traced in the clever setting of the
ornaments and the elaborate polish of the entire work."-7
Liverpool Journal.
" We do not often read hooks through ; but we have this=
really and truly. The beauty of the book, added to its local
interest, is its originality."—Liverpool Lfon.
" Our practical knowledge of Mr. Dignan's talents and style
of composition induces us to recommend him to prosecute his
present career in imaginative literature."—European Times.
"file Slave Captain' is written in a graceful, pleasing, style;
the plot of it is interesting and well developed, and the hand
of the practised literary man is to be traced throughout."---;
Liverpool Mail.
" Mr. Dignan has displayed all the requirements of a no-
velist ;'skill in construction, great power of conception and
delineation of character, combined with perfect purity of taste
and expression. Above all, the moral conveyed throughout
the work is excellent."—Livereool Staudard.

• -
In accordance with the Advertisements, a PUBLIC MEET-
ING; duly convened, took place oil FRIDAY EVENING, the 13th -
of A ugnst,lB47,at Eight o'clock, at the Hanover-square Rooms,
London, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having •
been prevented from taking the chair, owing to a pre-arranged
departure for the Continent, the Right Bon. Lord DUDLEY
STUART, M.P., bad been invitell-to preside.
Previous to the resolutions being submitted, the Original
Oration upon the Life, Character, and Genius of the Poet, was
pronounced by the Author and Originator of the Meeting; after
which the following letter was read from Lord Dudley Stuart,
M.P.

" St. James's-place, August, 1817.
" Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to Mr. Geo.
Jones, and thanks him for his very kind and obliging letters ;
and begs to say that he cannot possibly have the pleasure of
accepting the honour Mr. Jones so kindly proposes conferring
on him, viz., that of taking the Chair at the Public Meeting to
be held this week, for the purpose of preserving Shakspeare's ,
House' to the. Nation, previous engagements causing his ab-
sence from town."
Whereupon it was moved, seconded, and carried by accla-
mation—
That GEORGE JoNF..9, Esq., Historian, and Honorary Mem-
ber of the Royal Shakspeanan Club, be the Chairman of this
Meeting. .
Moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. JEFFS, and •
carrivi unanimously—
That the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., be .

Moved by C. De LA PIIVNIE, Esq., seconded by Mr. RANI-
SE Y, and carried unanimously—
That the Founder and Chairman of the present Meeting be
appointed Chairman of The People's Central Committee of the
iShakspeare 411einorial Fund.
The following Resolutions (drawn up and read by the Chair-
man) were then submitted to the Meeting for its approval ;
when, after discussion, and a motion for adjournment being
lost by a large majority, they were

Moved by T. PI:ELAND, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAMSES',
and carried unanimously, with only one dissentient, viz. :
RESOLUTIONS :
Whereas it is officially annonwed that the House at Strat-
ford-upon-Avon, in which the great Dramatic Poet of England
waiborn, is' to be sold at Public Auction, this meeting views, ;
with profound anxiety, even the possibility of the House of
Shakspeare being mutilated, removed, or destroyed by the
hands of avaricious speculation, when it is regarded by th.eNa-
tion as an heir-loom of the people of England; and, if permit-
ted to be destroyed, or even removed from toe possibility of
receiving the 'devotional respect from the future Pilgrims of 7
Poetry, the present age will receive from posterity a lasting re-
proach which no time will cancel —will be charged with a
criminal inaction which no excuse can even palliate.
Therefore, it is Resolved, '
That this Meeting form itself into a Committee, to be called
The People's Central Committee of the Nhakspeare Memorial
Fund, and that the said Committee consist of the following
Gentlemen, with power to add to their number

Mr. F. T. Fowler, 8:c.

Resolved,
That a Public Appeal be hereby made to the People of Great
Britain for a National Subscription (even by the smallest coin
of the Realm) for the purpose of purchasing the Shakspeare
House and Property, and vesting it jointly in the name of the
People of England in the Trusteeship of the Royal Shaksperian
Club, and the Corporation of Stratford-upon Avon for ever :
the former Association having been on established for
the express purpose of preserving the Relics of Shakspeare,
and rendering an annual tribute to his memory.
•
Resolved,
That this Meeting views with the most fervent admiration,
the Patronage accorded at this time to the Royal Shakspearian
Club by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, which, together
with the munificent donation o .t 250 towards the especial ob-
ject of this Meeting, cannot but increase the profound respect
and esteem already entertained for the Prince-Consort by the
People of Great Britain.
Resolved,
That the munificent donation of £lOO by Her Majesty, The
Queen Dowager, towards the same National Object, merits the
respectful and fervent thanks of this Meeting; and being called
forth upon this—the anniversary of the Queen Adelaide's birth-
day—they are conjoined with the devotional wishes of this
assembly, for the continual health and happiness of Her
Majesty.
Resolved,
That this Meeting recommends that the surplus funds arising
from the National Subscription (either from the People, Asso-
ciations, or otherwise) after paying the purchase-money of the
Shakspeare House and Property, (and incidental expenses,) be
disposed of as• follows, viz. :-18t, To the erecting of a Public
Statue to the honour and memory of the Poet, either in London
or at Stratford. 2dly, To the founding of a Shakspeare Scho-
larshin at either the University of Cambridge or Oxford. And
3dly, To the-establishing of a Shakspeare Charitable Institution
for the Poor and Infirm of the Poet's Native Town. •
Resolved, •
That this Meeting regards the intended sale of Shakspeare's
House by Public Auction with abhorrence, and as a disgrace to
England and an insult to the memory of the Poet; and that the
rejection of the generous offer
.(at private sale) of Two Thou-
sand Pounds, made by the originator of this Meeting—George
Jones, Esq.—plainly indicates the final determination of the
parties interested : and therefore this Meeting does not hesitate
to proclaim, that any person, or party, who would wantonly or
avariciously sport with the Property, so as to endanger the per-
manent safety of the Birth-place of Shakspeare, deserves to
seceivefrom the people of England the lasting infamy which
'such conduct would justly merit.
•
' Resolved. _ _

That this Meeting earnestly recommends that a Branch Com-
mittee of this—the People's Central Committee of the Shak-
speare Memorial Fund—be established in every. City and Town
of Great Britain, founded upon a Public Meeting of the People,
to do honour to the Great Poet who arose from among them-
selves; and that the said Branch Committee (when Formed)
are hereby respectfully invited to communicate (with the result
of their Subscriptions) with the Chairman of the People's Cen-
tral Committee in London. •
Resolved, •
While this Meeting, from its early announcement, justly
claims the priority of the first pub lc movement to rescue
Shakspeare's Honse---: et it gratefully recognises the efforts that
are being made by the several Societies and Associations, to
collect Subscriptions, among themselves; and since all must be
actuated by the same generous impulse—this Meeting, through
its Committee, offers its fervent cooperation in the good cause,
and expects the same courtesy in return.
Resolved,
That Subscriptions (either by Cheque, Postoffice Order,
•
Stamps, or otherwise) be authorised to be received at the fol-
lowing Banks (permission having been kindly grunted to open
Subscription Books and to receive Lonations) viz.:—The Lon-
don and Westminster Bank, Ft. James's-square ;_ the London
Joint Stock Bank, Pall-Mall ; Messrs. Currie and Co., Cornhill,
City; the London and Westminster Batik, Lothbury, City ;
the London Joint Stock Bank, Princes-street, City; and also
by George Jones, Esq.; Chairman •of the Committee, 15, Mad-
dox-street, Hanover-square; and that all Subscriptions, with
the donors' names, be recorded in an especial book for public
inspection, and kept in Shakspeare's House at Stratford-upon-
Avon.
T. P. HEALEY, Esq., accepted the appointment of Honorary
Secretary pro lent.
A vote of thanks was then proposed, seconded, and carried
by acclamation for the Chairman ; also a vote of thanks to the
Proprietor of the Hanover-square Rooms, for his liberality in
aiding the cause by granting their free use.
