JOSEPH MILES,
TAILOR AND CLOTHIER,

From the Establishment of Messrs

Wtm.is and Co., of

ST. JAMES'S-STREET, Lo DON,
(Where he has been many years eof the principal
Foremen,)
TT AS the honour to announce to the Gentry and Resi-
-1 dents of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that he has suc-
ceeded to the business of
Messrs. THOMAS PESTERRE and CO.,
N 0.77, BOLD-STREET,

where he respectfully solicits an inspection of his present
very select STOCK for the SPRING and SUMMER
TRADE, and it being his determination to charge very,
moderately and to compete with the Liverpool prices, sup-
plying the choicest articles of every description, in which he
will have the advantage of being liberally supported by his
friends in London, he flatters himself that from his great
experience in Cutting, and having likewise in his employ-
ment a first-rate Trowsers Cutter, his Establishment will be
found, on trial, to afford advantages which cannot be sur-
passed by any House in the Kingdom.
Military and Naval Uniforms, Ladies' Habits, Young
Gentlemen's Dresses, Liveries, &c., on very moderate
terms.

bourhood, before Ten o'clock in the Morning or after Four

FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OR FAMILY _HAIR
OIL.
T M. respectfully solicits a trial of thioinestimahle Oil,
e where its efficacy is not knownlltt is patronised by
families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the
Toilet. It has been proved, by nmny experiments, in restor-
ing the Hair, when every other application has failed ; and
when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it reno-
vates and produces its original lustre.
J. M. is aware that the public is prejudiced against Hair
Oils that have no other recommendation than the advertise-
ments ; however, no disappointment will occur in the use of
Middlewood's Oil : the testimonials are indisputable, as
submitted to Parliament. Many Oils, sold as stimulants,
render the Hair harsh, and are injurious in the extreme ;
they clog the pores, and compress the absorbents, producing
dandruff, a dry unpleasant sensation on the scalp ; but this,
and every other cause of baldness may be removed by the
genuine Botanic Oil, which is of great utility in every family.
It preserves the Hair and scalp from infancy to old age.
Sold in Pot Boxes, 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., with an allowance
on taking three Boxes. It is sold in Family Bottles, for the
toilet, 10s. each.
J. M. is daily receiving the most flattering praise, not only
of the superior properties of his Oil, but also of the reason-
able price of so valuable an article. Oil to the amount of
ills., or upwards, will be forwarded free of carriage, on re-
ceipt of a post-office or other order of payment. The Botanic
Oil is particularly recommended to all Public Seminaries, as
it will prevent the spreading of ringworm, or other cutaneous
diseases incident to the hair and scalp.
For Export, J. M. recommends the Botanic Oil as a safe
and profitable speculation, no article can compete with it in
England : there can be no competition, a premium is given
from 25 to '3O per cent. over and above the customary profits
to venders, and, consequently, it is not the best article,
but the greatest profit that is a consideration, and before
the public can be well served, they must make a trial of ar-
ticles the most obnoxious to the general trade.
J. M. begs to announce the last arrival of SHAD DOCKS
and FORBIDDEN FRUIT for the present season is of su-
perior quality, and the same he had the honour of sending to
IIF,II MAJESTY THE QUEEN, and so much approved at
the Royal Table. American Apples, Black and Green
Grapes, Seville Oranges, for Marmalade, and every other
Fruit in season, in high preservation.
Parker-street, Lirerpool.

[ADVERTI SEM ENT.I
GREGORIAN PAK E

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Sir,—As the truly excellent is ever sure to be imitated, the
very imitation which is now abroad of the Gregorian Paste
for Toothache might alone be sufficient to establish the ex-
cellence of the genuine. But in addition to this proof, I
have the honour to forward you the following letter, which
has been received by the inventor from the Rev. Henry
Codrington, Rural Dean to the Bishop of London :
" pearage. TT:are.

" Sir,—l have great pleasure in stating, that several of in'
parishioners have been cured of toothache by your newly
invented remedy, and that I am not aware of any case is
which it has failed.

" To the Rev. Gorman Gregg, GO, Nelson-street,
Great George-square.
" N.B.—As at the above address only, can be found the
genuine, beware of spurious imitations i❑ the shops."

Ilis Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, (Lord
Ebrington) is about to unite himself to Lady Somerville,
the relict of the late Sir A. Somerville, and daughter of Mr.
Geale, of Mountjoy-square, Dublin.

BALLOONS.—We find the following in the Moniteur
risicn:—" An experiment of the highest interest has been
performed at the Chateau de Villetaneuse, near St. Denis.
M. S. and his son had for some time past announced pub-
licly that they had succeeded in the means of directing
balloons in the air, and several experiments on a small scale
in the court-yard of the Ecole Militaire, in Paris, had been
attended with satisfactory results. The experiment of Mon-
day has verified all their hopes. M. S. jun., after rising to
a height of 250 metres with a balloon, constructed by himself
and his father, set at work their ingenious mechanism, and
immediately their balloon proceeded to the west, notwith-
standing a pretty strong wind blowing from that point. He
He then returned, and sailed about in various directions, the
balloon rising cr lowering at the will of the aeronaut with-
out the apparent use of any kind of ballast. The experi-
ments lasted for three hours, at the expiration of which
.
time M. S. descended at the point from whit he nad
ttArtod, amidst the acclamations of the spectators.
