quaint the Trade in general that they can be supplied with
every description, in large or small quantities, on the same
terms as from the Manufactory in London.

W. PITT embraces the present opportunity to thank his
Friends and the Public for the very liberal support he has re-
ceived since his commencement in Business, and begs to assure
them that it is his utmost ambition to merit the confidence of
all who may be pleased to honour him with their patronage.
N.B.—Merchants' and Shipping Orders particularly attended
to, and the full amount of Excise Drawback allowed on all
Papers and Stationery for Exportation.

Account Books Ruled and Bound to any pattern, and on the
most approved principle.

G. P. PAYNE,

OPTICIAN AND CHRONOMETER MAKER;
(Late Melling and Payne, Bywater and Dawson, and Egerton

Smith,)
HAVING lately expelienced such an increased de-
mand for his Marine Chronometers as to have some
difficulty in meeting it, has determined to enter more largely
into that branch of his manufacturing business, and has now
completed arrangements for having the instruments made and
finished on his own premises, which have been altered for that
purpose. He is now prepared to execute Wholesale as well as
Retail Orders for Chronometers Watches, and Clocks, and will
allow the utmost possible trade Miscount on these article, if for
exportation or when required by the trade.
To render this improvement as effective as possible, G. P.
PAYNE has entered into partnership for a long period with a
Chronometer Manufacturer, who joining practical experience
with theoretical knowledge, will give his exclusive attention to
superintending and finishing the instruments, and who, hav-
ing, for the future, a direct interest in this branch of the estab-
lishment wi I afford an additional security for first-rate work-
manship to that hitherto supplied by the usual warranty.
G. P. PAYNE begs to remark, that this is a very important
feature in his new arrangements, inasmuch as dealers in Chro-
nometers and Watches are obliged to depend on the veracity of
their workmen for the character of the instruments they sell ;
but all the great establishments in London have raised their
fame on the practical superintendence and workmanship of the
first founders, who have been distinguished, not merely as
shopkeepers, but in their more dignified character as scientific
mechanics, whose superintendence, invention, and workman-
ship, have raised the English Chronometer to its present perfec-
tion and utility. G. P. PAYNE, therefore, taking advantage of
the personal application of a scientific mechanic, combined
with the established respectability of the oldest shop in Liver-
pool, will be enabled successfully to compete with the majority
of the trade in Liverpool, and from his contiguity to Prescot,
(where the Chronometer movements for all England are made,)
he will be in a position to offer greater facilities, and at a less
cost to Exporters, than any house in London.
G. P. PAYNE will, as heretofore, personally undertake the
Rating of the Instruments, by Solar and Stellar Transits of the
Meridian, in the Observatory, over the Factory, and by taking
advantage of the extremely accurate observations of the Astro-
nomer at the Liverpool Observatory; and a new feature (except
in public Observatories) has been introduced, of recording
Mean Time by two splendid Regulators, with mercurial com-
pensating pendulums, so that as one instrument gains daily
one or two tenths of a second, and the other loses as much, a
nearer approach to Astronomical Accuracy, in determining the
Time, and Rating for Errors, is obtained than that attempted,
perhaps, in any other Private Establishment either in London
or Liverpool.
