MILK PUNCEI !.

THIS 'unique li7l.7le7tarrou; Liqueur has, for nearly a
1 century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.

It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR

is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon rivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.

It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the 'best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne;
and while
THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
. _

but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age.
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most jocial companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this•irivitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

" A Friend " wishes us to draw the attention of the public
and of the authorities of the town to the nuisance occa-
sioned by the parading of the tee-totallers, accompanied. by
their bands, and surrounded by a set of the worst characters
in town. This annoyance the inhabitants are frequently
subjected to at as late an hour as half-past eleven.
We must apologize to our distant subscribers for not for-'
warding the STANDARD to post at the usual hour ; but we
felt assured they would prefer receiving a complete ac-
count of the festivities, though a few hours later than what
has been customary. A Stamped Supplement accompanies
the paper, which has enabled us to afford a full list of the
visitors at the Fancy Ball, without curtailing our customary
intelligence, and we have to express our acknowledgments
to those parties who yesterday kindly favoured us with
their names for insertion, which greatly assisted our own
" extraordinary" exertions.

A SUPPLEMENT is published with the LIVERPOOL
STANDARD of this day.

THE LIVERPOOL TOWN-HALL.

This princely structure was founded in 1749. It is of a
square form, with four fronts, and immediately behind are
the Exchange Buildings, forming three sides of extensive
square known as " the Exchange," of which the north front
of the Town-hall forms the other. The interior of the
building is too well known to require description here ; but
it may be stated that, though one of the oldest, as a public
structure of magnitude, it is still, as a whole, perhaps the
handsomest yet extant. The dome, which rises to a great
height from the centre of the pile, and is surmounted by a
colossal figure of Britannia, seated and holding a trident, is
a striking and beautiful object, by no means eclipsed by the
heavier and somewhat similar overtopment of the new Cus-
tom-house at the other extremity of the same street. The
order is Corinthian, of the embellished or florid style, and
the architect was the celebrated Sir Christopher Wren. At
the principal or south entrance there is a handsome portico,
surmounted by a pediment, and rising the full height of the
building.

THE GRAND STAIR CASE.

This is considered one of the finest in the kingdom. It is
covered by the dome, and is lighted from a large window in the
perpendicular portion of that erection. The height from the
floor below to the interior top of the copula is 10G feet. The
stairs rise from the centre below to a half story landing, and
thence turn right and left, leaving room for a spacious landing-
place, andgalleries round three parts of the square above, from
which doors lead into the several rooms forming the circuit
or suite. Round the interior base of the dome there are a
number of frosted gas-lamps. The railings are of a handsome
Grecian pattern, topped with burnished brass, and from the
bauastres rise eight slender pillars bearing gas lamps. The
whole is spacious, and reverberates the sound of the musical
band stationed at balls in one of the galleries.

MR. SMITH respectfully intimates to the Ladies and
Gentlemen of Liverpool and its environs, that he con-
tinues to teach the polite and. from Royal adoption, increas-
ingly fashionable ART of RIDING, on principles which
combine ease and elegance with confidence and perfect safety,
at his commodious School, which, while it is secluded from
all observation, possesses from its situation the desirable ad-
vantage of a highly salubrious and exhilarating atmosphere.
Mr. S. considers it a duty incumbent upon himself to cor-
rect and supersede an erroneous impression which some few
persons unacquainted with his system have imbibed, as much
probably from prejudice as a disinclination to give it an in-
vestigation, that his mode of teaching savours too much of
the stiff military school ; to which he thinks it only neces-
sary to advert (and it is with a feeling of proud conscious-
ness) to his long-established reputation, conferred by the
patronage of most of the first families in the town and
neighbourhood, as also many distinguished foreigners, from
many of whom he has received written commendatory ac-
knowledgments, as well of the excellence of his peculiar
system, as his unwearied zeal and attention to his pupils.
N.B.—Ladies' Skirts provided at the School. Horses
carefully broke for Ladies and Gentlemen.

Sold in Pot Boxes, at 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., and in Family
Bottles, 10s.'
MIDDLEWOOD'S GENUINE. BOTANIC OIL.

JM. respectfully recommends the use of a small box,
• to prove the superior efficacy of the Botanic Oil,
where not known ; it has never failed to renovate and
produce a luxuriant growth of hair, when every other appli-
cation has failed*; it is free from the corrossive ane drying
properties of compound oils, and, when dissolved, is as pure
as spring water ; it renders the scalp agreeably cool, soft,
and healthy ; it eradicates dandriff, and produces the richest
fragrance and lustre, even when the hair is on the decline
and turning grey. J. M. is well aware of the great utility
of the Botanic Oil, and the inconvenience occasioned to his
Agents by not being regularly supplied, and assures them
that arrangements are now making that will enable him to
meet the increasing demand.

J. M. has, in addition to his extensive Stock of Fruits,
just received from Fiveto Six Hundred Dozens of the Finest
Shaddocks and Forbidden Fruit ; also, ten large Cases of
New Tafilat or Preserved Dates ; which, with his Preserved.
Tamarinds, Ginger Limes, Shaddock and Orange Marma-
lades, he will sell in small jars and packages, for the conve-
nience of families in town and country, at wholesale prices.
An allowance will also be made to purchasers of the Botanic
Oil, or Vegetable Oil Soap, by the dozen or half-dozen.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The indisposition of one of the vocalists has, we fear, inter-
fered with the success of Miss Romer's and Mr. Stansbury's
engagement. It would be a sin of omission were we not to
notice the efficient manner in which Mr. Barker acquitted
himself, when suddenly called upon to read the part of the
principal singer in the Love Spell. Mr. Barker "read" the
words well, and sang the music at sight with sustained fault-
lessness. This trial through which he passed with more than
credit to himself, proves Mr. Barker—and better perhaps
than could any other test—to be a thoroughly educated and
practical musician. It is with regret that we see a contem-
porary, in an invidious spirit, seeking to fasten on Mr. Bar-
ker as a fatal objection to his success as a singer, his " want
of power." True, power is power—but only when properly
used. Power is only a relative thing, and compared with
other singers of his day, Mr. Barker, though he has not a
deep gong-like voice like Phillips and Seguin, or the great
Lablache with his Falstaff organ, yet there is not a theatre
in the kingdom in which he has not ample power so as to be
heard distinctly—and when heard, heard with the gratifica-
tion which is secured by accuracy and precision, when asso-
ciated with grace and feeling in execution.
The part of Elvino in the Sonnambula was also sustained
by Mr. Barker : the music well suits his voice and his gene-
ral powers. We heard him as Donald on Wednesday in
Barnett's fine (native) Opera of the Mountain Sylph. He
looked, played, and sung the part to the satisfaction of the
audience, as will doubtless be again the case this evening,
when the Sylph is to be repeated, for the benefit of the most
pleasing and sylph-like spiritualizers of the part—our fair
townswoman Miss Romer. As the charitable revellers of
last night have had time to sleep off the effects of the Fancy
Ball, we hope they will go in tune as well us in time to enjoy
the warblings of a lady who has many unobtrusive claims on
the appreciation of the public.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 28.

We have had very considerable arrivals of Wheat, Flour, Oats,
and Barley, from foreign ports, and to a fair extent of Oats from
Ireland, since Tuesday last; and d►uing the past week the demand
has been less active for Wi►eat and Flour, in the expectation of a
good deal of both being released from bond on Friday next, by a
reduction of the duty ; and prices of those articles and of all other
kinds of Grain have been a little depressed.
There is no alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports
this week; but on Friday next a reduction of 3s. per quarter on
Wheat, and of 22d per barrel on Flour is confidently expected ;
some considerable parcels of American Flour, in bond, have
changed hands at about 275. 6c1., some small parcels at 285., and
some of middling quality at 278., Wheat in bond sells as if free,
allowing the duty ; our supplies of Oats in bond are too great for
the export demand, and very dull sale. at our quotations.
The weather continues very fine, and has caused the country to
assume a more forward appearance ; but rain is very mucb wanted,
having had none since the I Ith inst.
In consequence of the advance in the London market of yester-
day, higher prices were demanded in the early part of this day's
market, which limited the extent of business which would proba-
bly otherwise have occurred ; sales to a fair extent, however, were
effected of Wheat and Flour at very fully the prices of this day
week ; Oats were Id. yer 411 b. and Oatmeal 3d. to 6d per 2401 b.
higher, and for othei articles we repeat our last quotations, which
in some instances were a little exceeded,

SKETCHES OF CONTROVERSIALISTS,

Under this title our radical contemporary, the Sun, is pub-
lishing a series of essays on the intellectual character, per-
sonal appearance, deportment, and styles of eloquence of the
leading controversialists of the day, especially of those
who have distinguished themselves by their advocacy of the
church on'the one hand, or of voluntaryism on the other.
Among the sketches which have already appeared. we find
one of our highly gifted and greatly respected townsman
(if we may be permitted so to call him), the Rev. Hugh
M`Neile. The sketch is well written, and, considering the
quarter from which it has emanated, is di.stinguished by its
candour and fidelity. The following are the remarks in the
