TO AMATEURS OF THE FINE ARTS.
MR. H. L. VANDEN HOUTTF4N, (Professor of Draw-
ing and Painting in the High School of Glasgow), re-
spectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, and Public of
Liverpool, that he will offer for PRIVATE SALE, for a few
days in Mr. Hodgson's Picture Gallery, Church-street, a
very fine and valuable Collection of CABINET PICTURES,
by the most eminent Old Masters.
These pictures being of the highest class, Mr. Vanden
Houten thinks it superfluous to dwell on their merits, but
respectfully solicits inspection, and, this being his first visit
to Liverpool, hopes he will be favoured with a portion of
that patronage which the amateurs of Liverpool are so well
known to bestow on works of real merit.
The Collection includes Landscape, with numerous Figures
and Cattle, by Rembrandt. This Picture was lately imported
from St. Hertogenbosch, North Belgium, in a Monastery at
which place it has remained since it left the easel of the Art-
ist. It is in the purest state of preservation, and in his bold-
est and clearest style. Also, Specimens by
Moucheron, Van Kessel, Berghern,
Hobbima, Hughtenburgh, Bodwin, &e.
N.B.—This Collection is now open for inspection.
Tickets to view may be had on application at 50, Church.

MR. JAMES WARD'S PICTURES,
WILLIAII2SON-SQUARE.
MR. JAMES WARD takes the liberty of inviting the
attention of Amateurs and Collectors to a few Speci-
mens of genuine Productions, by celebrated Masters of the
Dutch, Flemish, and English Schools, which he now offers
for Sale.

These very beautiful and choice Works have been selected
with great care, and can be all warranted.
Mr. WARD will not attempt, in the limits of a notice like
the present, to dilate upon the individual merits of these
Pictures, but he can with confidence assert, that they will
bear the test of examination, by the most experienced con-
noisseurs, and that they will not be depreciated when placed
beside Works of the highest order and class. Amongst them
will be found a
RIIBENs.—The apotheosis of one of King Charles's Chil-
dren. This fine sketch was painted by Rubens when in Eng-
land, for that Monarch. It will be found also on the ceiling at
Whitehall. It is full of vigour and breadth, and is a masterly
performance. It was at one period in the collection of Mr.
Martin—known amongst his friends as Buck Martin—and
was highly esteemed by him.
WILLIAM VANDEVELDE.—An engagement at Sea be-
ween the Dutch and Spanish Fleet. A finished picture.
GERARD DOW.—THE BACKGAMMON PLAYERS.—This
picture is from the collection of Dr. Rodingou at the Hague.
One of the players is a portrait of Gerard Dow. This pic-
ture has been admitted by all Amateurs to be a very brilliant
specimen of this very scarce and inestimable master.
VANDYCKE.—A MAGDALEN.—This fine work of art, by
Sir AnthonyVandyct;e, is a copy from a remarkable painting
by Titian, now in the Florentine Gallery. This picture when
exhibited in Edinburgh attracted thousands of persons to
inspect it.
JAN STEEN.—A MAGDALEN WITH ANGELS.—A pure and
brilliantly-coloured Specimen.
WILLIAM VANDERVLDE.—River and Scene with Craft.—
A very fine and beautiful specimen of this master.
HOGARTIL—The Modern Midnight Conversation.—This
well-known picture needs no comment. It is in as excellent
a state of preservation as if only recently from the artist's
easel. This picture has been frequently engraved.
SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS.—Mr. and Mrs. Garrick.--This
picture is well worth the attention of every collector of por-
traits. The likenesses are said to have been excellent.

FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION; AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
MIDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OR FAMILY
.HAIR
OIL.

j M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inestimable Oil,
• where its efficacy is not known. It is patronised by
families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the
Toilet. It has been proved, by many experiments, in restor-
ing the Hair, when every other application has failed ; and
when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it reno-
vates and produces its original lustre.
In answer to inquiries, J. M. respectfully informs his
Friends and the Public he is making arrangements which
will insure to the Public the Genuine Botanic Oil in all parts
of the Kingdom in its pure and unadulterated state; and
should any doubts exist of the great utility of the Botanic Oil,
the Proprietor refers them to the decision of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and the testimonials proved before Parlia-
ment on the 10th April, 1830. J. M. also wishes to apprise
the Public of various attempts to suppress the sale of the
Botanic Oil, not by
competition, but by secret means. Ven-
dors thr
ewood's Soap oughout the Kingdom were cautioned against selling
and Oil, as it was subject to Medicine
Middl
Duty ; and informations were laid against the Proprietor.
J. M. acknowledges the informations, at two distant periods,
each penalty £5O ; but in ease the Proprietor had sold the
above illegally, it proves the article superior to anytjling sold

rnents ; the proceedings adopted to suppprressesent the sales the
best possible recommendation ; and so well satisfied is go-
vernment of the great utility of the Botanic Oil, that no
further interruption will be given to the sale of the Botanic
Oil and Vegetable Soap, which will be found of more exten-
sive sale than any other similar articles.
J. M. has substituted Pot Boxes in lieu of Bottles, as more
convenient ; the present reduced price is 25., 3s. 6d., 55., and
in Bottles, for the Toilet, 10s. Wholesale and Export
Orders on the shortest notice.
J. M. will engage that, where the Botanic Oil is used,
either in Public Seminaries or Families, the hair and scalp
shall never be infected with any cutaneous disease, as ring-
worm, &c. &c., such is its emolient properties.
Orders, with references or remittances, addressed J. MID-
DLEWOOD, Parker-street, Liverpool, will be duly forwarded,
with customary allowances. The Botanic Oil is a valuable
speculation, as no article can compete with it as Hair Oil.
FORBIDDEN FRUIT.—J• M. begs to announce at this
Season, this cooling and grateful Fruit, for Invalids, also in
sea sickness, &c.; has also en Sale, green Sweet Water
GRAPES, per Bolsi, or. Retail, Is. per lb.
Just Landed, a few Barrels of fine FRENCH RENNET
APPLES, for Dessert. _
