JEWELLERY, WATCHES, AND ELECTRO-
PLATE.
FL. HAUSBURG takes the liberty of directing
• the attention of his Friends and the Public to his
STOCK of

JEWELLERY.
In addition to the usual splendid assortment, will be found
his recent extensive Selections from the Stocks of the most
celebrated Manufacturers of the Metropolis, and the produc-
tions of his own Manufactory upon the Premises ; the whole
forming a most splendid Collection- of Orna ts, affording
by the variety, elegance, and superior qua ' of the articles,
Freater facilities for selection than at a ther Establishment
in the Kingdom.

Of the Watches completed in F. L. H.'s Manufactory upon the
Premises, he can with confidence speak in the highest terms.
They are finished in the most careful manner, under his im-
mediate superintendence, combining all the latest improve-
ments, and, by their perfect accuracy of performance, justify-
ing the high encomiums which the experience of years has
enabled his friends to pass upon them.

The Stock of
ELECTRO-PLATE,
IN EPERGNES, CANDELABRA, DINNER AND TEA SERVICES,
SPOONS, FORKS, &C.,
has again been re-assorted by the introduction of the Newest
Patterns produced by the Patentees, and is now the largest in
Liverpool.

F. L. H.'s most sanguine anticipations have been fully re-
alized, the great superiority, durabiiity, and elegant appear-
ance of the Material, and the impossibility of distinguishing it
from Silver, having obtained for it a general and decided pre-
ference.

LOAF BREAD.
POSSESSING THE REQUISITE PROPERTIES OF
FLAVOUR AND SWEETNESS.
p GIBBONS begs to announce that he con-
it • tinues to make LOAF BREAD a leading article in his
business, the most scrupulous attention b paid to both
Materials and:Manufacture,thus providin n article unrivalled
for flavour and sweetness.
Families cannot pay. too much tention to the quality of
their Loaf Bread, as it is an asce fined fact that a large quan-
tity of Flour has this season n imported into Liverpool in a
damaged state. R. G., how er, guarantees the sound quality
of every article rnanufact ed by him, and assures his custo-
mers and the public g erally, that the confidence so long re-
posed in his Establishment shall never be abused by him by

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE S ARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND OPS.
TN the last great Fire in Geor -street, Manchester,
_l_ nine large Houses had their oks burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wr ght Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have so red the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its c tents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one all ed to below.

" Messrs. Milner and Son." t servant,

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it

In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description
of safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practical authorities who have tested them, and
the Patentees' during seven years' active working of their
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents unburnt.
Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool ; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners'; the Contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensivc
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
'
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. It, and Thomas Browne, in -Milners'
Safe.

BARGAINS
IN EVERY DESCRIPTION OF
SHAWLS.
VV. MINTON begs to inform his Friends and
• the Public, that, finding the Room required for his
greatly-increasing Silk Trade, he has determined on DECLIN-
ING the SHAWL DEPARTMENT,
and has this day Reduced the Prices of his extensive and varied
Stock
SCOTCH PLAID, PAI , EDINBURGH, AND
NOR H SHAWLS.
Purchasers will find their interest to examine this Stock,
which comprises ariety of the lowest to the most valuable,
any of which are Reduced to

HALF-PRICE. -----
for the purpose of an entire clearance.
No. 40, BOLD-STREET.

TO THE LADIES OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS
VICINITY.
IN consequence of the unprecedented depression of
Trade in all parts of the Kingdom,

H. G.

IRELAND,

OF 92, BOLD-STREET,
has come to the determination of Selling the whole of his
valuable and extensively-assorted
STOCK OF FURS,

COMPRISING EVERY DESCRIPTION,
And all the Novelties that have yet appeared in the London or
Parisian Markets,
AT PRICES CONSIDERABLY REDUCED.
In inviting the Ladies to an inspection thereof, he does not
wish to hold out any absurd inducement. He feels, however,
gratified in observing, that as he purchases his Skins precisely
upon the sameterms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also
Manufactures them, he obtains thereby an advantage ever the
smaller purchaser, who merely reta. em, and is enabled
to charge much Lower than possibly can. The Esta-
blishment is, moreover, sively devoted to the Sale of
FURS ; and the great ent and variety of the Stock will not
be found surpassed ny Retail House in England.
SABLE GOO will this year be fully TWENTY-FIVE
PER CEN ER 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 departments 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.
