RE-OPENING
OF

BEDFORD HOUSE,
No. 22, CHURCH-STREET,
(NEXT TO PROMOLI'S BAZAAR,)
YESTERDAY, (MONDAY,) THE 28TH INSTANT.
THE extraordinary and unparalleled support extended by
a numerous class of customers to the Proprietor of
COMMERCE HOUSE, 25, CHURCH-STREET, together
with their frequent solicitations for an extension of room,
have rendered it imperatively necessary that larger Premises
should be had to meet his increasing Trade.
The above Establishment (last occupied by Messrs.
WALDEN and BRIGHT, but which has been closed for some
time, owing to LAW DISPUTES) has been taken (to re-
medy the evil so much complained of) and was
RE-OPENED YESTERDAY,
with every NOVELTY which has yet appeared for this
Season.

CLOAKS, CLOAKINGS, Chine SILKS, SATIN TURCS,

The PROPRIETOR, in presenting his respectful acknow-
ledgments to his numerous Patrons, begs to inform them and
the Public generally, that he will be able, in his new Premises,
to serve them still better than heretofore, from the facility
which BEDFORD HOUSE offers for doing a great trade,
and from an anxious desire on his part to study the interest
of his Friends, being convinced that it is the only sure foun-
dation for success.

THE NEW TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
IN ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS.

TO THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL, THE
NOBILITY, GENTRY, CLERGY, & ALL LARGE
CONSUMERS OF TEA.

WE beg leave to announce that we have made arrange-
ments, adjoining our Wholesale Offices, ROYAL BANK
BUILDINGS, to supply Families with TEAS, which will be
conducted in many respects different from the general sys-
tem of the Retail Trade.
Unlike Colonial products,—such as Sugars, &c.,—Fami-
lies, when purchasing Tea, can be no judges of quality from
its appearance ; therefore, to be enabled to procure it in its
pure state, and at the lowest remunerating price, has become
a matter of the first consequence.
Since the expiration of the East India Company's Charter
(1834), a thorough practical knowledge of this Trade has
proved most beneficial, owing to the system of deception
now pursued on the part of the Chinese in the art of dress-
ing Tea, and thereby giving it a fictitious appearance. This,
in conjunction with the 'complete expulsion of the English
from China, operates seriously ; so that the importing Mer-
chants at present are obliged to tranship their cargoes, with-
out time or opportunity to exercise their judgment in the
selection, as hitherto privileged to do in the British Facto-
ries at Canton.
Our great object will be to supply the Consumer with such
qualities as shall insure confidence.

This branch of trade affords ample scope for advantageous
competition ; the imports of late have exceeded all reasona-
ble calculation. We shall introduce the same system in this
article as in Tea ; and respectfully request attention to the
following kinds, which can be recommended :

Though Liverpool is unquestionably the second port in
the world, it is a remarkable fact that throughout England
there is no place where the public have reaped less benefit
from the free intercouse of trading with China than in this
town.
As we have intimated above that this undertaking will be
conducted upon an improved system of business, it is our
duty to state that the public will derive an advantage of
TWENTY PER. CENT. IN PRICE, with greater SECURITY AS
