Mr. R. andertakes to give his P ils a sound Classical,

ledge of the English Language and Literature, of Geography,
Ancient and Modern History, Natural History, &c.
Mr. R., as Conductor for ten years of a Boarding School
in Paris, has had great experience in preparing Pupils for
entrance at the Universities, Military and Naval Colleges,
&c. &c. ; many so prepared have met with distinguished
success. Astronomy and the other Branches of Natural
Philosophy taught by appropriate and interesting Lectures,
suited to their understanding and progress. Their improve-
ment in Mental Arithmetic and in Composition is promoted
by constant practice in interesting Calculations, and in Letter
and Essay Writing. _ _ _ _ _

. Owing-to Mr. A.'s long residence on the Continent, he is
enabled to speak French and Italian with fluency and a good
accent, and to qualify his Pupils by a daily practice for Con-
versation, as well as for an extensive perusal of the bek
Authors in these Languages. The Religious and Moral part
of their Education, as being the only solid basis of know-
ledge, receives his most anxious and careful attention. He
is assisted in this Department by a Clergyman of the Esta-
blished Church. His number is so limited as to secure them
from the influence of bad example, and to insure their greater
attention both as to Instruction and Morals, than is possible
in a large school. Their manners and domestic comforts are
carefully attended to, and they are treated in every respect as
members of his family.

It may not be unimportant to add, for the information of
Parents unacquainted with Liverpool, that Woodside is con-
sidered one of the finest and healthiest situations in this part
of England.

PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY,

THE opinion of several eminent Engineers having been
/
taken as to the merits of the Bitumen of thi Company,
the Directors feel justified in stating that it ' capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, an is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes now n use, while its
price, the carriage from London include , is considerably

less.
_The Directors, before mentioning thgrious uses to which
...

Bitumen is applicable, have great pleasure in calling the
attention of parties interested in the subject, to a most mas-
terly exposition of the qualities of this celebrated Mastic,
delivered at the Architectural Society, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
by Mr. Tite, who brought to the task not only a compre-
hensive knowledge of what had been done, but a mind deeply
imbued with the conviction that much yet remained to do
towards developing all the resources of which such a material
was capable.
The Directors are well aware that the qualities of their
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feeling
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudices
against its use which carelessness of application has alone
generated. beg to say, that they have ready prepared a large
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to the
following purposes, viz. : . _

To the Covering of Viaducts, or Arches of Railways, Bridges,
Catacombs, Wine Vaults, Cellars, &c. •

Stables, Coach-houses, Barns, Tun Rooms, Malt Houses,

ways, &c.

CAUTION.-HALL'S PATENT_,STARCH

iR. LAWRENCE HALL begs acknowledge the
liberal patronage he has recei for so many years,
and deems it a duty to himself and e public to guard them
against the many spurious imita • ns which are daily foisted
upon them, under the vario denominations of " Best
Patent Starch," "Best Wh e Patent Starch," "Patent
Glazed Starch," " Satin-faced Starch," " Superior Patent
Starch," &c., &C. ; these invariably disappoint the con-
sumer, and greatly injure him (the only Patentee) by an
inferior article being imposed on them as his make.
It is a fact, well-known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a patent for his invention before he brought
the article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S PATENT STARCH, other makers being
ignorant of his present mode of preparing it ; and if such
were not the case, their premises and situation would not be
suitable. _ _ . _

Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested
not to be deceived by Dealers who would attempt to palm
upon them a spurious article, because it yields the vender a
reater profit, and they are respectfully requested to ask for
HALL'S PATENT STARCH, and to purchase it in original
Packages, as put up at his works, of about 41bs. and 11b.
each, bearing his label with a fac simile of his signature
(LAWRENCE HALL), printed on a yellow ground, as the
spurious, for the greater deception, often bears a label printed
on yellow paper, and otherwise imitating HALL'S PATENT
STARCH. . _ _
