PUBLIC NOTICE.

LIVERPOOL, EASTHAM. FERRY, AND CHESTER
COACHING ESTABLISHMENT.
ICHARD SMITH takes leave to return his mostgrate-
,lt ful acknowledgments to his numerous Friends and the
Public, for the kind patronage, support, and decided prefer-
ence his Coaching Establishment has for a very long period
received from them ; and begs most respectfully to inform
them that he continues, and means to continue, running the
undermentioned fast and favourite Coaches in a superior
style, if possible, to what they hitherto have done, and A
VERY REDUCED FARES.

R. S. avails himself of this opportunity to contradict a
report industriously circulated, that there is no communica-
tion between Liverpool and Chester but by Railway ; and
assures the Public that his Coaches have continued, and do
still continue, to run daily, every two hours, between Liver-
pool and Chester, as usual, at Fares below those charged by
the Railway. As to the beauty of the road from Liverpool
via Eastham Ferry to Chester, for its scenery, it is not to be
equalled in the kingdom. Passengers by his Coaches are
not annoyed, on their journey to Wales, Shropshire, or else-
where, beyond Chester, by having first to take Packet to the
Monk's Ferry, then an Omnibus to the Birkenhead Railway
Station, thence by Railway through deep cuttings and high
embankments to the terminus .at Chester Station, where
they again have to take Omnibus or other conveyance to the
City, ere they can proceed on their intended route. All
these great inconveniences and delays are avoided by tra-
velling with any of the undermentioned well-regulated
Coaches, which it is Mr. Smith's determination to maintain
on the road. _

R. S. challenges all his opponents to deny that his Esta-
blishment is superior, both in Coaches and Horses, to any
other connected with Liverpool or Chester. R. S. has, ever
since the opening of the Railway between Liverpool, Bir-
mingham, and London, kept on the road his "'BRILLIANT"
Coach—(see the list annexed) ; and further intimates, that,
at the solicitation of several gentle Men and inhabitants of
Birkenhead, Woodside, &c., he purposes to run one or more
Coaches between Birkenhead and Chester, to prevent the
inconvenience those persons now experience who dislike
Railway travelling, in being obliged to cross over to Liver-
pool, and proceed by way of Eastham to Chester.
The following first-rate Coaches continue to run to and
