W. B. PROMOLI,
SUCCESSOR TO THOMAS WOOLFIELD,
No. 24, CHURCH-STREET,
ADJOINING THE POSTOFFICE,
RESPECTFULLY announces, that, agreeably to his
former Advertisement, he, on the 13th instant,
OPENED HIS NEW PREMISES to the
Public. He therefore begs to renew his invitation to his
Friends and Customers to visit his unrivalled Establishment,
and to inspect a Stock remarkable for its greater extent,
elegance, and choice of Goods than ariy yet collected toge-
ther.

W. B. P., under the impression that his concern is really
unique, will, being honoured with the same encouragement
and distinguished patronage with which he has hitherto been
favoured, continue to maintain it on a similar scale of mag-
nitude, by, if possible, a still greater attention to the manu-
facturing of his Goods, and by a careful selection of the best
of their kind in England, Fiance, Germany, and Italy; his
knowledge and experience of which may be gathered from
the fact, that, for the last eight years, he was accustomed to
act in the latter department for his esteemed friend and pre-
decessor, THOMAS WOOLFIELD, who, in return, being at
present on the Continent, is giving him the advantage of his
time and taste in the purchase of articles of novelty.
W. B. I'. considers it unnecessary to remind the Public,
that, selling always for nett cash, without any deduction, be
is enabled to charge comparatively a very small profit upon
his Goods; therefore, it must follow that their price and
quality are unequalled. He may farther add, that his great
sales in every branch also enable him to manufacture and to
purchase in largeoquantities; consequently, he buys at a less
cost, and obtains the full advantage of the manufacturers'
discounts where allowed for payment in cash.
In a few weeks the Fixtures, &c. will be ready for the two
former Shops, when the whole Front will be made to corre-
spond, exhibiting a rich and attractive display of Goods from
all parts of the world.

Y ARROW CONTAACT-NORTH NION RAILWAY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

- -
Sts,—On my return home last Friday, I was surprised at
reading in the Liverpool Times, of the 7th instant, a report of
the Directors of the North Union Raildiaay, wlnFein I consider
my character stands much impugned; and' Which, in justice
to myself, I think requires a few observations.
For a considerable time back I have been paying the very
highest wages for excavators, besides an allowance of a quart
of ale per man each day. For carpenters Tor framing the
viaduct I am paying ss. per day and their lodgings; I am
also paving Bs. a day for hired horses; and all this with a
strong disposition on my part to complete the works as quickly
as possible, in order to remove my materials to a new work ;
but, in consequence of the weather, I have been obliged to
order a large quantity of new waggons and other utensils,
instead of having the benefit of those now in use on the
North Union Railway short, what these works may cost
shall be no consideration with me, in order to get them as
speedily completed as practicable.
Respecting the timber viaduct over the Yarrow, I agreed
with the Company to reconstruct the same for the coin of
£2ooo—the quantity of timber to be used being limited to
15,000 cubic feet of Memel or red pine, which quantity was
in the works on the Ist July last; and I have now on and in
the works 26,888 cubic feet, making an an addition of 11,888
feet to the original contract.
As regards the legal liability of the consequences of the
accident to the Yarrow culvert to be borne by me, it is true
I signed a document to that effect—not from conviction, but
rather than litigate with a powerful body, I submitted without
any legal advice, my adviser at that time being that of the
Company, viz., Mr. Part.
The original design of the Yarrow culvert was to have
been an arch of forty feet span. I remarked to Messrs.
Vignolles and Collister, chief and resident engineers, that
the span was great to carry such a superincumbent mass of
earth-work, and I promised to build a culvert of any other
design, provided there was no more cubical quantity of ma-
sonry in one than the other. A new design was therefore
put into my hands by Collister, and the culvert was
completed accordingly, the contract plan and the altered plan
being still in my possession.
I am sorry, after all my efforts and sacrifices, I have not
succeeded in giving satisfaction to the Railway Directors;
and it is with much reluctance on my part that this statement
should come before the public. I flatter myself I have hi-
therto held a fair character in the scale of society, and con-
sider, in self-defence, I am justified in making this state-
ment, and will feel much obliged by your inserting it in your
next publication of the Standard.---I am, sir, yours, very
respectfully, WILLIAM MACKENZIE.
