JUNE 7, 1853.

48s. for Petersburgh Y.C., and at 455. to 475. per
cwt. for South American. Baltic Hemp offering at
lower prices. 2,000 bales Jute have been sold to
arrive at previous prices, and 500 on the spot at
£l7 17s. to £2l 12s. per ton. TO-DAY, Importers
continuing to meet the demand for Sugar rather
freely, the sales, including Saturday's business,
consist of 200 hhds. Barbadoes at 335. to 393., 120
hhds. Trinidad at 323. 61. to 355. 6d., and 500
bags Benares at 37s to 375. 6d. per cwt. Nothing
has transpired in Molasses, Rum, or Coffee, but
600 bags Bahia Cocoa are reported at 275., and
800 bags Para, of an old import, at 275. 6d. per
cwt. 2200 bags Bengal Rice sold at 10s. 9d. to
1 le. 3d., and 100 bags Saltpetre at 275. 61. per
cwt. We have less doing in Tea, but quotations
remain unaltered. From Messrs. T. and H.
LITTLEDALE and Co.'s circular we extract the
following :
" SUGAR.—We have taken some pains to arrive at the
probable supply of Sugar from all the producing countries
for the present year, and find that it will little exceed that
of last, whilst the stocks in this country show a deficiency
of nearly 40,000 tons, and those on the Continent of
20,000. The consumption of this article is greatly on the
increase, from the improved condition of the lower classes
in this country and in America—so that we may reason-
ably look for present prices being maintained. From
Porto Rico, Brazils, and Louisiana, we may look for an
increased supply of some 50,000 tons ; but from our own
colonies, east and west, there will be a deficiency of
30,000 tons, which would leave a surplus of 20,000 tons ;
but it is generally admitted that there will be a consider-
able falling off in the production from Beetroot, probably
fully to this extent.
" TEA.—During the past fortnight we have had a firm,
but not a very active market; speculators have purchased
common and blackish leaf to fine Congous. Fine Moiling
kinds are held for advanced prices. Second Orange Pe-
koes in good request, but few offering. Common to fair
Scented Capers more sought after: quotations have an
upward tendency. Of Greens, holders, generally, are
unwilling sellers, unless at extreme prices. During the
last few days spurious Gunpowder has been in better
request. Further advices from China state that the rebels
were still threatening Nankin, and that there is no pros-
pea of a speedy improvement in trade. The reduced
duty, say Is. 1(41. per lb., was received by the Customs'
authorities on Wednesday last : on that day duty was
paid in this port on 435,394 lbs."
WooL.—The market has again been inactive
during the week, The tightness of the money mar-
ket, and the political news from Constantinople,
has tended to diminish the little activity evincible.
The recent arrivals being nearly all held for the
auction sales of Thursday and Friday next, there
are no transactions of any moment to report.
Prices, so far, are pretty firmly maintained. Im-
ports for the week, 1656 bales, viz., 28 Mediterra-
nean ports, 262 United States, 701 East India, 480
Buenos Ayres, 139 Irish, 40 Scotch, 6 Coastwise.
English and Irish—for the former there was a fair
amount of competition, and prices very firmly
maintained at the York and Doncaster markets :
for the latter the market is a little easier. Skin—a
few inquiries, but not much doing. The clip of
Yorkshire Wool is now beginning to come to mar-
ket, and is taken freely at 171 d. to 18d. for farmers'
parcels.
Messrs. W. GREAME and Co. say :
There has again been an active demand for most des-
criptions of Wool, and—considering the lightness of
stocks—a fair amount of business has been done, at prices
fully supporting the late advanced rates. The new clip of
British and Irish Wools is now beginning to come into
the market, the few parcels sold have realised very high
rates, from 20 to 30 per cent. advance on prices current
this time last year; it is, however, too early to give any
decided opinion as to the result of the new clip generally,
but from the extreme lightness of stocks in the market of
old Wools, and the very large consumption going on in
the manufacturing districts, it is probable that high prices
will rule for some time to come.

Messrs. HUGHES and RONALD say :
A healthy tone continues to pervade every branch of
the Wool trade, and sales to a considerable extent have
been made in this market of foreign, both on the spot and
afloat, at well-supported rates ; there has, however, not
been quite so much done during the last ten days in con-
sequence of the public sales going forward in London.
A general impression had prevailed that a higher range
would be established at the opening, but, while there is
little quotable deviation to notice, still, taking into ac-
count that the condition on the average is defective, prices
are certainly higher than at the previous sales for all good-
conditioned parcels. The present high prices of all kinds
of home Wools has necessarily led to an extended demand
for foreign, which to some extent may be considered a
substitute. Good long-stapled Egyptian and Oporto have
been much inquired for, and are readily saleable; as are
also all Wools of a similar class, but the stocks are only
limited.

Messrs. ABRAM GARTSIDE and Co. say:—

" The consumption of Wool continues on a general
and extensive scale, and as stocks are decidedly low, and
receipts moderate, prices have been on the average firmly
maintained, and in many cases in favour of the seller.
That portion of this season's clip of the home-growth
which has already been shorn, has met with considerable
competition, at 10 to 20 per cent. advance upon the value 1
at the commencement of the year. Our next series of
sales will take place on the 9th and 10th June, when 3 to
4000 bales will be brought forward."

THE " HERMANN."—On Thursday, the United States
Mail steamship Hermann, Lieutenant Higgins com-
mander, arrived off Cowes with mails and passengers.
She sailed from New York on the 21st ult. After landing
her mails she proceeded to Bremen.
ABOUT 1,700 operative cotton porters held a meeting at
the Concert-hall, on Wednesday, when they agreed to
"strike," unless their demand of 4s. a day, as wages, was
agreed to in the course of the next week'.

REDUCTION OF THE TEA DUTlES.—Wednesday was a
busy day at the Liverpool Custom-house, owing to the
reduction of the duties on tea. Permission to admit tea
at the new duties was received the evening before ; and,
though the Custom-house was opened an hour earlier
than usual, the clerks were kept busy all day. Amongst
the advantages of the new duty, one is that it gets rid of
the additional five per cent., and thus simplifies all calcu-
lation as to the duty, both at the merchant's office and the
Custom-house.
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—The Rev. Adam S.
Farrar, M.A., Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, who
eight years ago gained the first M'Neile Exhibition at the
above institution, which entitles the holder to four years'
education at Oxford, is coming down to examine the can-
didates for the same exhibition this term. This is a cir-
cumstance which cannot fail to prove most agreeable and
interesting to all parties. Mr. Percival, who was edu-
cated at the Upper School of the Collegiate Institution,
stands first in classics, in the second year, at Emma-
nuel College, Cambridge, and has been elected a scholar.
We have just heard that the Rev.A. S. Farrar has recently
obtained the Senior Theological Prize for an essay on the
Trinity.

COMMITTAL OF A MARINE-STORE DEALER.—Patrick
Martin, a marine-store dealer, in Bridgewater-street, was,
on Friday, charged on suspicion of stealing sixteen yellow
metal bolts, the property of Messrs. Ashley, Clayton and.
Co. It appears that twenty-seven bolts, which had been
taken out of the Ebba Brahe, were given out by the fore-
man yesterday week, to be repointed and headed. They
were finished that evening, and in the morning were sent
for by the master carpenter ; but in the course of the day
a message was sent up that only eleven had been received.
Inspector Kehoe stated that, from Mr. William Penn
Smith, Hanover-street, he ascertained that, on Wednes-
day, Martin had sold, along with a small quantity of
scrap metal, sixteen bolts, broken in pieces, weighing
altogether 3 qrs. 9 lbs., and for which he paid the market
price of 6d. per lb. The prisoner, in his defence. stated
that his boy bad bought it in his absence, and brought
him forward as a witness ; but he made such a. rambling
statement, that the magistrates utterly discredited him,
and committed Martin for two months for not account-
ing, and also ordered his license as a marine-store dealer
to be taken trom him.

LANCASHIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—This company
have applied for an injunction from the Vice-Chancellor's
Court to restrain Mr. Reddish, actuary, from prosecuting,
for £750, the sum alleged to be due for three-quarters of
a year's salary. It appeared that Mr. Reddish had en-
gaged with the British Insurance Company for seven
years, in 1847, at a yearly salary of £l,OOO. The busi-
ness of this company had been transferred to the Lanca-
shire Company, and the defendant having notified his in-
tention to resign in 1852, it was accepted. He, however,
afterwards made a claim for the three-quarters salary.
Thetase was adjourned to Friday, when the Vice-Chan-
cellor said he could not possibly doubt that there might
be a very important question to be determined at the
hearing, if the plaintiffs could establish the equity stated
in their bill. Already it appeared that there was very
conflicting evidence as to what had passed at the time of
the agreement between the two companies. The order
which it would be proper to make would be, that the
British Assurance Company should give judgment in the
action which Mr. Reddish had brought against them, and
should undertake to deal with it as the court might direct ;
and that Mr. Reddish should be restrained from suing
out execution without the leave of the court.
HEALTH COMMITTEE.---At the weekly meeting, on
Thursday, Mr. Alderman Langsdale presided. There
were also present Messrs. Gladstone, Moss, Beckwith,
Nicholson. Johnson, and Halhead.—The medical officer
stated that the remarkably uniform rate of mortality,
noticed in the last report, still continued, the deaths re-
gistered in the week having been 187, and the mortality
during the last six weeks having varied only from 185 to
190. The deaths in the parish, last week, were 140, and
in the out-townships 47. In the corresponding weeks for
the preceding five years the average was 199.-1 a the
proceedings of the subcommittee was given a list of
persons applying for additions to their salaries. Mr.
Gladstone asked how they could refuse those increases to
poor labouring men, after, on the previous day, the Coun-
cil had granted to the town-clerk an addition of £5OO per
year. Mr. Beckwith thought they had better throw the
public purse on the table, and let all help themselves. To
obtain any grants of money to improve the town was im-
possible, and the more they attempted to check the cur-
rent of extravagance, the more it increased. The Chair-
man ; The more we do in that way, the Finance Com-
mittee does in the other. Mr. Beckwith observed that,
during the last year, the amount of the increase of salaries
to the servants throughout the Corporation amounted to
about £2o,ooo.—An application was read from the widow
of a poor man who had been in the service of the Corpo-
ration as a watchman, and who had died suddenly, to be
furnished with the means to go into some small way of
business. It was stated that there were no funds for
such a purpose. Mr. Beck With : Of course not ; but
there is to give to the town-clerk an addition of £soo—a
yearly salary of £2500 ! There had been a poor market-
man, who had been in the service for fourteen years, who
made an application for an increase of £lO to his salary.
This, of course, was refused ; yet to the town-clerk they
had given an addition of £lO per week,

POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY.

ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—A man named Thomas
Quin was charged by Henry Jones with assaulting and
robbing him in Byrom-street. It appeared that, on
Saturday night last, about half-past eleven o'clock, the
prosecutor was standing in Byrom-street, when the
prisoner went up to him, and asked him to go with him
into a public-house and have a glass of ale. He consented
to do so, but soon after entering the house he got
frightened, and came out. The prisoner followed him,
and snapped at his watch chain, he then robbed him of
six shillings, and afterwards threw stones at him. The
prisoner was committed for three months.
ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—Thomas Horrage, a man re-
siding in South-street, Toxteth-park, who had been re-
manded on a charge of attempting to cut his wife's
throat, was again brought up, but upon the production of
a surgeon's certificate that the prisoner's wife, although
convalescent, was still unable to appear, the prisoner was
again remanded. The particulars of the case are, that
about a week ago the prisoner went home, and his supper
not being ready when asked for, he took up a knife and
drew it across his wife's throat, inflicting a serious wound.
She was removed to the Southern Hospital, where she has
since been confined ; and it is supposed that the shock
produced upon the system caused premature labour.

STEALING A GOLD RING.-A woman named Ann
Kenny was charged by Mr. Benjamin Rowland, pawn-
broker, of Vauxhall-road, with stealing a goad ring from
the prosecutor's shop in 'Vauxhall-road. She went into
the shop, and pretended she wanted to buy a ring ; but,
after looking at some, she left the shop without making a
purchase, and on doing so she dropped one of the rings
which had been submitted for her inspection. Committed
for three months.

COMMITTALS.—Ann Riley was charged by Mrs. Mary
Kewley, residing in Hill-street, Toxteth-park. with steal-
ing four quilts and a blanket from a bed-room in her house
on Saturday night last. She was committed for trial.
CharlesHain, William Durye, and W. Kelly, were charged
by Mr. Lewis Hay man, a pawnbroker in Park-lane, with
cutting a pane of glass out of his shop window, and stealing
aXI note on Saturday last. They were all committed for
trial.

ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH.—The whole of the gallery is
now converted into free sittings for the poor.
MR. H. H. ROGERS'S series of piano-forte soirees con-
cluded on Tuesday. The performance was well and
fashionably attended.
THE PRINCE OF WALES steamer having undergone a
thorough repair. has resumed her station between here
and Bangor. Her speed is very much accelerated, and
she has twice made the passage in 3 hours and 55 minutes.
A MAN named Burnley, late butler to Jacques Myers,
Esq., Fazakerley, has been remanded by the magistrates,
before whom he was charged, on Tuesday, with having
robbed his master of a quantity of property when about to
leave his service.

TESTIMONIAL.—On Friday night a mother-of-pearl-
purse, silver mounted, enclosing ten guineas, was pre-
sented by the members of the Apollo Glee Club, meeting
at the Adelphi Hotel, to Mrs. George Holden, as an
acknowledgment for her musical services.
SUDDEN DEATH IN THE TRAFALGAR Docx.—Yester-
day morning, a man named Thomas Williamson, a rigger,
died suddenly in the rigging of the ship Balmoral, now
lying in the Trafalgar Dock. An inquest will be held
upon the body to-day.
RADICAL PREPARATIONS.—It is rumoured that Mr.
Hankey, Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, or
Mr. Horseman, will be brought forward by the Liberal
party in the event of the unseating of Messrs. Turner
and Mackenzie.

MONEY ORDER OFFICES.—The following notice has
been issued from the General Post-office :—" On the 10th
of June major money order offices will be opened at the
receiving offices at Brownlow-hill, Mill-street, and Scot-
land-roa, Liverpool." This arrangement will enable
parties to obtain money and money orders from the offices
above-named without the trouble of going to the General
Post-office.

MARRIAGE CELEDRATION.-011 Wednesday, a sump-
tuous dinner was served up at the Brunswick Hotel, in
celebration of the marriage of Mr. George Ho!me, of the
firm of Arthur and George Holme, architects, &c., of
this town. About forty of the heads of departments in
connexion with the extensive establishment sat down, and
the evening was spent in a social and convivial manner.

VENTILATION OF ST. GEORGE'S HALL.—At the Coun-
cil meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Gladstone intimated that
he had received a letter from Mr. Cunningham, the
architect, whose acoustic arrangements, as well as plans
for ventilation, in the Phiharmonic-hall, have met with
such commendation. The letter had been temporarily
mislaid, but the information it contains is to be brought
before the Council at their next meeting.
LANCASHIRE MlLlTlA.—Artillery Corps : Adjutant

THE BIRKENHEAD CONTEST has produced some strange
transformations and contrasts of colour. While the flag-
staffs of the various inns have rivalled the sky in their
exuberance of blue, many of the ratepayers have fluctuated
between the opposite hues of blue and red according as
they were influenced by the announcements which were
issued daily. We have beard of several electors decidedly
red who gradually faded until they became pink, and then
received such an infusion of blue that before the polling
day they were lilac, and this elegant flower became their
favourite breast knot.

Tun EDUCATION BILL.—A deputation from 'the Na-
tional Public School Association had an interview with
Lord John Russell, on Friday, for the purpose of stating
their views in relation to the subject of national educa-
tion. Among those who accompanied the deputation
were the Right Hut. T. M. Gibson, Sir Joshua Walms-
ley, Messrs. R. Cobden, W. A. Wilkinson, John Cheet-
ham, Richard Gardner, James Heywood, Jas. Simpson,.
Foxhill Bank, Lancashire, and Walter Ferguson, Liver-
pool.
DISTRESSING CASE..—MUCII public sympathy has been,
manifested on behalf of the widow and five children of
Thomas Williams, the master of the Speculation, who
was drowned on his voyage to this port. They are entirely
unprovided for ; and as the poor woman is seriously af-
flicted with cancer, it is a case of real distress. A sub.
scription list has been opened in their behalf, and contri-
butions will be received at any of the newspaper-offtes.
THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.—The announcement
of the engagements for the Grand Concert of the Phil-
harmonic Society on Tuesday next has created quite a
flutter of expectation for the musical treat. Bottesini,
the greatest of players on the double bass, is on this in.
strument what Paganini was on the violin, and there is
something marvellous in the ease with which he produces
tones soft, sweet, and musical from such an unwieldy
thine. Herr Reichardt is a celebrated German tenor of
much sweetness and purity of tone. Mad'lle-Bury is the
favourite of Queen Victoria's concerts, and can have no
better recommendation. Herr Pischek is a host in him-
self, and is too well known to require any introduction.
A PRUDENT (?•) MAN.—At the Police-court, on Wed-
nesday, a dissipated-looking young man, named Alfred
Sturges Prudent, preferred a charge of robbery against
Margaret Hawthorn, a notorious woman• of the town.
The prosecutor met the prisoner at the Albion public-
house, in Fox. street, where he became drunk and in-
sensible. In the evening he got into a cab with the pri-
soner, who told the driver to go to Everton-road. At the
time he had about £45 on his person. The prisoner
ordered the driver to stop in Chureh-street, Everton, and
wag getting out of the cab when officer 162 took her into
custody. In Bridewell, four xa notes, and a quantity of
gold, were found upon her, as well as several articles
claimed by the prisoner. The case was sent to the ses-
sions for trial.

POLICE TNSPECTION.-011 Friday, his worship the
Mayor, accompanied by Mr. Admiral Parker, visited
Seel-street station, where the constabulary were ram,
tared to receive him ; Captain Greig and the superimend-
ents were present. The men formed into two bodies,, in
open ranks ; and the firemen formed themselves at the
extreme end of the station. The force were in their new
clothing, recently issued,, and a finer body of men were
perhaps never brought together. The Mayor. having
completed the inspection, complimented them on their
appearance, cleanliness, and obvious admirable discipline
and addressed them at some length on their duties, effi-
ciency, and the conduct expected of them. He afterwards
paid a well-deserved compliment to Captain Greig ; and
alluded in feeling terms to the reciprocal good feeling
which always subsisted between himself and the men is
his employ, numbering at times thrice that of the police
force. At the conclusion of his address his worship was
loudly cheered, a M police, by a loud and long rattling of
the sticks against the floor. The. head-constable then
introduced the divisional superintendents, Messrs. Quick
and Ride, Superintendents Walker, Murphy, and Hew-
itt, to his worship, who kindly recognised each, and
passed a high compliment upon the efficiency and long
services of Mr. Hewitt.

A LIVERPOOL GENTLEMAN AT NAPLES.—A corres-
pondent, writing from Naples on the 24th ult., says :
" A Mr. William Henry Wilson arrived here recently
from Liverpool, by the screw-steamer Tiber, and, on
giving his passport to the police, he w,,s informedd he
could not be permitted to land, as he was suspected of
being a revolutionary emissary. Now, it appears the
police at Naples have the name ' Mr. William Wilson' in
their books as a suspected character (which has probably
been handed on to them by the Austrian or French
police,) and, without caring to inquire further than ob-
serving the similarity of names, they take upon themselves
to say to this gentleman, ' Thou art the man.' Mr. Wilson
is the son of an eminent manufacturer in Liverpool."

RESIGNATION OF KEOGH AND COMPANY.--The ultra-
montane papers give credit to Messrs. Keogh, Monsell,
and Sadleir, for throwing up their respective situations ;
but their praise is qualified by the observation that not
one of these representatives of Romish priests should
have accepted office from the minister who gave a leading
position in the cabinet to the Durham letter-writer," as
Lord John Russell is generally designated here. These
gentlemen are at the same time taunted with their votes
in favour of the budget of Mr. Gladstone, which will tax
Ireland to the extent of £600,000 a year more than she Is
subject to at present ; and furthermore, they arc accused,
of breaking up.the Irish liberal party,

DR. M'HALE is dangerously ili, but hopes are enter-
tained, of his recovery.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 6.

BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
EASTERN AFFAIRS.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.—The Times' Paris corre-
spondent writes. " What the mission of M. de Nesselrode
is, I have no positive information, but I have reason to
believe that Louis Napoleon is in favour of the mediation
of England and Austria. Since yesterday morning, par-
ticularly, it has been remarked that the tone and lan-
guage of the Russian ambassador, in Paris, are much
more pacific than for some days previously."
TURKEY.—Constantinople letters of the 23rd ult. fur-
nish some details not given in the telegraphic despatches.
The Austrian charge d'affaires, at the request of the Eng-
lish and French ambassadors, had made several attempts
to effect a reconciliation between Menschikoff and the
Porte, but the former was inexorable. The Turks were
making great warlike preparations.
The Standard says that the news received from the
Continent this morning is considered to bear a more
satisfactory construction then that previously to hand,
with regard to the affairs of the East.
The Sun also states that the letters from the Continent
are of a decidedly more favourable complexion. From
Paris it is reported that money was very abundent last
week on the Bourse, and that so many orders to purchase
railway shares were seldom known to have been received,
within the like period, from small provincial capitalists.
The Times' correspondent writes that the Sultan is said
to have latterly shewn the greatest perturbation at the
state of affairs, with symptoms of yielding to the demands
of Russia. Should such an event occur, there would
be great fears of an outbreak in the Capital, since a strong
fanatical feeling has been aroused, owing to the late nego-
ciations with Austria and Prussia.

English ships were much wanted, and would be greedily
caught up at Ils. Exchange rapidly rising.
The Globe's correspondent reports• that the despatch,
stating that the mediation of Austria in the Turkish affair,
is believed to have been fabricated in Paris for stock-
jobbing purposes.
The Journal Pays has an important semi-official
article on the Eastern question. It states distnctly
that the Emperor of the French will not go to
war with Russia alone; that the other Powers have the
same interest as himself in the Eastern question, and the
same obligations ; and that if there be a war, it must be
a war in which all the protecting powers of Turkey would
co-operate. The whole of the French Cabinet was in
favour of a pacific policy.

LIVERPOOL ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The Committee re-assembled at twelve o'clock.

The witnesses examined to-day were John Calderwood,
William Allanson, Milligan Walthew, and James Wal-
thew. The two first proved the engagement of rooms for
the purpose of the election and the distribution of
ribbons ; the other two were called in respect to the alle-
gation of letters of the petitioners having been kept back.
James Walthew said he was employed at Pyecroft's, the
Wheatsheaf Inn, for four or five days. The postman
came with some letters the day before the nomination.
One man brought in letters between ten and eleven
o'clock. Mr. Clegg was in the room. Witness had
to refer to the Ward-book by desire of Mr. Clegg,
while the postman was referring to the letters. There
were no others in the room. The postman carted
the names of the letters over, and some of them were
marked. The witness referred to the ward book to see if
they were for or against them, and the postman marked
them accordingly. Those that were doubtful, or against
them, had a mark put on, but those that were for them
had no mark put on, and then the postman took them all
away. Recollected the postman coming again the same
evening. Mr. Turner and Mr. Mackenzie about this
time were addressing electors in another room. Recol-
lected at that time two postmen coming, with an afternoon
delivery into the committee-room. Witness was the only
person with them. The door was locked by some one
outside, and witness was left with them, The same thing
took place as with the morning letters, and lists were re-
ferred to and letters were marked. Mr. Healey, one of
the committee, came in with two other parties, and re-
mained from five to ten minutes. The postman had
spirits and beer, which were ordered by Mr. Clegg. Could
not well remember names on any of the letters which
were marked, but there was one with the name of William
Stamp upon it.

At the close of the cross-examination of Jas. Walthew,
the committee adjourned.

FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
English Securities experienced an improvemelitearly In the
day, which was well supported to the close; prices, however,
will have no stability till the Eastern difficulty approaches a
satisfactory solution. The pressure in the Money market is
gradually abating. Railways.:: The markets for heavy descrip-

amongst the most useful of the present age. It contains purity with strength, and for Ships' use and all Domestic purposes the
articles so made are undeniably more economical and preferable than those commonly in use. It is impossible in the limits of

therefore be—" See for yourselves."

TO THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL AND ITS
VICINITY.
IN anticipation of a Reduction in Duties, as an-
nounced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, we have, with
ample capital and a good position in the Market, secured a
choice and abundant Stock of the Articles effected by the
change, upon very advantageous terms, prior to the advance in
price which has already taken place.
Under such circumstances we are prepared (as the Reduced
Duties are now in operation) to realise to our Customers the
full and immediate benefit of the same, which will be a Reduc-
tion of Fourpence per lb. on Tea of every description ; and, on
various Articles of daily consumption, a diminution in price
equal in all cases at least to the Duties remitted, whereby
advantages (which few can equal and none surpass) will be
afforded to all who honour us with a continuance of their
patronage, or who are disposed to favour us with a trial.

PARKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING PULLEYS.
THE Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton Factories,
Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and Joiners'
Establishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are
respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S PRINCIPLE of
BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a large saving of
motive power, with an increased velocity of motion never before
obtained in limited compass, and may be applied as well to the
the first motion from the engine as to the collateral demands
upon the power, which is largely saved by avoiding the Com-
plicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog Wheels.
The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen-
sions ; but the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Saw, which is made to perform a
variety of duties that render it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the pur-
chase of the royalties of any Town, County, District, or for any
individual establishment, and for directions in its application,
Apply to WI LL IA M RO W ETT, Commercial-buildings,
Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool.
NB--It has been ascertained that one man working the
ortable Saw can do the work ;of a steam-engine of one-horse
power for a limited period.

TVOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.

THE rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable
MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The
proprietor can confidently recommend it in all cases of Coughs,
Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the
Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of
long-standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resist-
ance to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from
all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generalize
it may be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for
whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purity the blood.
The Proprietor has pleasure in submitting the following most
satisfactory testimonials selected from a great many .
" Chatham, April 18th, 1850.
" Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton,
has been cured of a cough of four years' standing, by taking
one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing
her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may ob-
tain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the
large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with
him next week. I can also add my testimony that, from the
many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded
it stands unrivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly,
"To Mr. Woolley." HENRY WATTS, Chemist, Chatham.
" Redditch, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.
" Sir,—l have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a
sister of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec-
toral Candy.—l am, yours truly,
" JAMES Duoci IN s, Temperance Hotel.
" N. 8.—1 could tell you of another cure, but the person
said he should write to you himself. This was the person who
recommended it to my sister."
" 1, Kirbey-street, Poplar, London, Sept. 30th, 1851.
" Dear Sir.—l cannot speak too highly of the excellency of
Woolley's Pectoral Candy.' I have suffered for years with a
dreadful cough and difficulty of breathing. In this distressing
state I was recommended to try Woolley's Pectoral Candy,
the first box of which gave me great relief ; the second box
completely cured me. I have recommended them to many of
my friends who were similarly afflicted, who have all received
the greatest relief from them.—l am, sir, yours obliged,
" OCTAYIUS GLYN.
"To Mr. Kernot, Surgeon, &c., Chrisp-street, Poplar New Town,
London, agent for the sale of Woolley's Pectoral Candy."
" Maidstone, August 7th. 1852.
" Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure of informing you of the
benefit I have received from Woolley's Pectoral Candy. I•have
for many years suffered from Cough and Asthma, and I think
I have tried nearly everything, such as Keating's Cough Lozen-
ges. Locock's Wafers, &c. &c. I have also consultedof yourmany
eminent medical men. Until I fortunately.got a box
than any other remedy I have ever tried.-1 am. yoursing.
