H. G. IRELAND,

THE TALBOT INN, VERNON-STREET.

JO PAT HIC COCOA, prepared
on byJOHN
RELFE, G }I E LONDON,
which preserves the flavour and highly-nutritive qualities of
Cocoa Nut in their fullest extent, and effectually frees it from
those grosser oily particles which have ren ered the use of it
objectionable to persons of weak !4ig on.
The purity and general exck.ffence of this preparation has
already procured for it Qu-eldensive and rapidly-increasing sale
among the Homcepat.lfit Public ; and it is confidently. recom-
mended to persons-of all classes, who desire an economical and
pleasant beverage, for the breakfast, luncheon, or tea table.
Sold by FELL and Co., 34, Ranelagh-street, Liverpool.

BEGS most respectfully to inform the Ladies, of
Liverpool, that his
STOCK OF FURS, FOR" THE SEASON,.

IS NOW RE Y-f-,
At the same time, he begs to n his sincere thanks for the
distinguished patronage as received during eight years,
which has enabled hi o offer for their approval the
LARGEST RETAI STOCK OF. FURS IN THE KINGDOM,

CO4PRISING EVERY DESCRIPTION,
And all the Novelties that have yet appeared in the London or

Parisian Markets,

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 same terms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also
Manufactures them, he obtains thereby an advantage over the
smaller purchaser, who merely retails them, and is enabled
to charge much Lower than they possibly can. The Esta-
blishment is. moreover, exclusively devoted to the Sale of
FURS; and the great extent and variety of the Stock will not
be found surpassed in any Retail House in England.
SABLE GOODS will this year be fully TWENTY PER
CENT. LOWER 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.

railway travelling, make all their purchases now regularly at

SYKES' ORIENTAL CAMPHOR TOOTH PASTE.
THE premature decay of the TEETH arises from
various causes, but chiefly from early neglect, ill health,
and the use of
.Tooth Powders containing Mineral and other
Acids, which give a temporary whiteness-to the Teeth, while
they quickly corrode the enamel. Thisit-ste imparts to Teeth,
however foul and discoloured, a pearly whiteness, a healthy
redness and firmness to the ums, eradicates Scurvy, and,
from its aromatic quality, s tens the breath, and will be
found highly refreshing to e mouth after its use.

veil's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of
Medicine. Price 2s. 9d. per Bottle.
The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.

This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and such are the prop_crties-of this invaluable
Specific that persons labourin" -der the most distressing
Rheumatism, Rheumatic G , and Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of a ' mg themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.
Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow-
ing testimonials :-
11for/ey's Hotel, Strand, 18th August, 1846.
SIRS have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its
novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietthie and freedom
from pain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours,
HENRI VILLENNEVE.

14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
SIR,—I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ' • and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours. EDWARD NOYES.

"SIR,—Having been informed of me surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my inrormation,. encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
and, making an allowance for my age, nevergwas better in my
life. To those. however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
those who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-

brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am

GEORGE POLLARD.

Well-street, Cripplegate.
SIR,-1 have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,—
D. W. STONE.

In accordance with the Advertisements, a PUBLIC MEET-
ING, duly convened, took place on FRIDAY EVENING, the 13th
of August, 1847, at Eight o'clock, at the Hanover-square Rooms,
London, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having
been prevented from taking the chair, owing to a pre-arranged
departure for the Continent, the Right Hon. Lord DUDLEY
STUART, M.P., had been invited to preside.
Previous to the resolutions being submitted, the Original
Oration upon the Life, Character, and Genius of the Poet, was
pronounced by the Author and Originator of the Meeting; after
which the following letter was read from Lord Dudley Stuart,
M.P..—

" St. James's-place, August, 1847.
" Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to Mr. Geo.
Jones, and thanks him for his very kind and obliging letters ;
and begs to say that he cannot possibly have the pleasure of
accepting the honour Mr. Jones so kindly proposes conferring
on him, viz., that of taking the Chair at the Public Meeting to
be held this week, for the purpose of preserving Shakspeare's
House' to the Nation, previous engagements causing his ab-
sence from town."

Whereupon it was moved, seconded, and carried by accla-
mation—

That GEORGE JONEF, Esq., Historian, and Honorary Mem-
ber of the Royal Shakspearma Club, be the Chairman of this
Meeting.
Moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. JEFFS, and
carried unanimously—
That the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., be
invited to be the Honorary Treasurer of the proposed Memorial
Fund.

Moved by C. DE LA PRYME, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAM.
SEY, and carried unanimously—
That the Founder and Chairman of the present Meeting be
appointed Chairman of The People's Central Committee of the
Shakspeare Memorial Fund.
_

The following Resolutions (drawn up and read by the Chair-
man) were then submitted to the Meeting for its approval ;
when, after discussion, and a motion for adjournment being
lost by a large majority, they were

Moved by T. PURLA ND, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAMSEY,
and carried unanimously, with only one dissentient, viz. :
RESOLUTIONS :

Whereas it is officially announced that the House at Strat-
ford-upon-Avon, in which the great Dramatic Poet of England
was born, is to be sold at Public Auction, this meeting views,
with profound anxiety, even the possibility of the House of
Shakspeare being mutilated, removed, or destroyed by the
hands of avaricious speculation, when it is regarded by the Na-
tion as an heir-loom of the people of England; and, if permit.
ted to be destroyed, or even removed from tile possibility of
receiving the devotional respect from the future Pilgrims of
Poetry, the present age will receive from posterity a lasting re-
proach which no time will cancel —will be charged with a
criminal inaction which no excuse can even palliate.
Therefore, it is Resolved,
That this Meeting form itself into a Committee, to be called
The People's Central Committee of the Shakspeare Memorial
Fund, and that the said Committee consist of the following
Gentlemen, with power to add to their number :
Sheridan Knowles, Esq., Albert Smith, Esq.,
Dr. Partridge, G. K. Huxley, Esq.,
T. G. Margery, Esq., C. H. Case, Esq.,
T. Tyler, Esq., A. Richmond, Esq.,
J. Morgan, Esq., J. H. Hand, Esq.,
R. Williams, Esq., T. P. Healey, Esq.,
Chas. de la Pryme, Esq., Mr. E. Evans,
T. Purland, Esq., Mr. George Harris,
H. W. Pearson, Esq., Mr. R. Jeffs,
T. B. Lacy, Esq., Mr. Ramsey,
Mr. F. T. Fowler, &c.
,

Resolved,,
That a Public Appeal he hereby made to the People of Great
Britain for a National Subscription (even by the smallest coin
,of the Realm) for the purpose of purchasing the Shakspeare
House and Property, and vesting it jointly in the name of the
People of England in the Trusteeship of the Royal Shaksperian
Club, and the Corporation of Stratford-upon Avon for ever :
the former Association having been originally established for
the express purpose of preserving the Relics of Shakspeare,
and rendering an annual tribute to his memory.
Resolved,
That this Meeting views with the most fervent admiration,
the Patronage accorded at this time to the Royal Shakspearian
Club by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, which, together
with the munificent donation of £250 towards the especial ob-
ject of this Meeting, cannot but increase the profound respect
and esteem already entertained for the Prince-Consort by the
People of Great Britain.

Resolved,
That the munificent donation of £lOO by Her Majesty, The
Queen Dowager, towards the same National Object, merits the
respectful and fervent thanks of this Meeting; and being called
forth upon this—the anniversary of the Queen Adelaide's birth-
day—they are conjoined with the devotional wishes of this
assembly, for the continual health and happiness of Her
Majesty.
Resolved,
That this Meeting recommends that the surplus funds arising
from the National Subscription (either from the People, Asso-
ciations, or otherwise) after paying the purchase-money of the
Shakspeare House and Property, (and incidental expenses,) be
disposed of as follows, viz.:-Ist, To the erecting of a Public
Statue to the honour and memory of the Poet, either in London
or at Stratford. 2dlv, To the founding of a Shakspeare Scho-
larship at either the 'University of Cambridge or Oxford. And
3dly, To the establishing of a Shakspeare Charitable Institution
for the Poor and Infirm of the Poet's Native Town.
Resolved,
That this Meeting regards the intended sale of Shakspeare's
House by Public Auction with abhorrence, and as a disgrace to
England and an insult to the memory of the Poet ; and that the
rejection of the generous otter (at private sale) of Two Thou-
sand Pounds, made by. the originator of this Meeting—George
Jones, Esq.—plainly indicates the final determination of the
parties interested : and therefore this Meeting does not hesitate
to proclaim, that any person, or party, who would wantonly or
avariciously sport with the Property, so as to endanger the per-
manent safety of the Birth-place of Shakspeare, deserves to
receive from the people of England the lasting infamy which
such conduct would justly merit.
Resolved,
That this Meeting earnestly recommends that a Branch Com-
mittee of this—the People's Central Committee of the Shak-
speare Memorial Fund—be established in every City and Town
of Great Britain, founded upon a Public Meeting of the People,
to do honour to the Great Poet who arose from among them-
selves; and that the said Branch Committee (when formed)
are hereby respectfully invited to communicate (with the result
of their Subscriptions) with the Chairman of the People's Cen-
tral Committee in London.
Resolved,
While this Meeting, from its early announcement, justly
claims the priority of the first public movement to rescue
Shakspeare's House—yet it gratefully recognises the efforts that
are being made by the several Societies and Associations, to
collect Subscriptions among themselves ; and since all must be
actuated by the same generous impulse—this Meeting, through
its Committee, offers its fervent co-operation in the good cause,
and expects the same courtesy in return.
Resolved, Postoffice Order
