GEORGE-STREET, corner of Upper Duke. wt. - ,
These Instruments have all the late 1. • provements, and have
been brought to a state of perfection ever yet equalled. Be-
sides having Wrought-iron String Plates, Wrough-iron Bracings
over the Sounding Board, and an additional Bar on and under
the front Wrest Plank, they have a Soending Board constructed,
on an entirely new rinciple, somewhat similar to that of the
Violin, by which the' utility of tone is rendered much more full
and equal. Neither climate nor time can affect its elasticity,
nor cap the pressure of the Strings cause it to yield. A Patent
has been obtained for this invention, which is pronounced by
the first Composers and Pianists in the kingdom to be the most
important improvement ever applied to Piano-fortes.
It is impossible, in the limited space 7of an advertisement, to
convey an adequate idea of the superiority of these Instruments,;-
G THOMSON, therefore, requests an inspection of them, satisfie
that they only reqnire to be seen to•be anpreciated. 1

DUBLIN STEAM COMPANY AND THE ALBION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL

SIR, —The Albion newspaper has an articl^ in its co-
lumns to-day on the subject of the City of Dublin Steam Com-
pany's,Bill now in Parliament.
"We are not acquainted with the merits • t question," is
the admission of the first part-of the article, a .: . this stock of
ignorance it goes on to indulge in reflecti.ns '
_ai t the Clyde
i
Steam Companies perfectly uncalled for. 1,, ,
Those Companies form only a small pa
,"'l • e opposition to
iif
the bill in question, and with reference to ' - ' biOn's remarks
on their sensitiveness to opposition, we will i• ly say for the
City of Glasgow Steam Packet Company (and we believe the
opposing Company in the same trade can claim the same-5
right to say) that the Glasgow Companies serve the public as
well as the Dublin Company can possibly do, at least the pub-
lic get their commodities carried as cheap from Liverpool to
Glasgow as the Dublin Company carry to Dublin; the latter
passage (Dublin and Liverpool) is only half the distance of the
Scotch one, and the Glasgow vessels are equal to any steamers
afloat. They have neither threatened to invade the Dublin
station or thought of competing for carrying the Dublin Mail,
as is gratuitously stipNiscil by the Albionj they lend their as-
sistance, along with zany other Steam Companies,•to oppose
what they consider an 'unjust principle, viz., "2ranting special
p 1 ivileges and advantages'to particular Steam Gicapanies ; they
are not singular in such 'views of the Dublin Company's pro-
posed Bill, nor are they parties Li the opposition for any parti-
cular interest or risk to themselves. While they continue to
serve the public well, they neither fear want of support front
the public, nor their own ability to contend successfully against
any ill-natured opposition,—We are, geutlenien, your obedient
servants, DAVID M'IVgR and Co.

Water-street, April 4, 1836.
P.S.—The Dublin Company's Bill is opposed by Steam Com--
panies from the following places :—Cork, Waterford, London-
derry, Belfast, Drogheda, Newry, Glasgow, Greenock, Dundee,
and other
.places, indeed wherever there is a steam trade a
movement is making against the bill.
