IMPORTANT ARRIVAL OF FIRST-RATE SPRING GOODS.
We feel it a positive duty to invite public attention to our unrivalled Stock of Goods, just arranged for inspection, com-
prising every Novelty adapted for the approaching Season.
There can be little doubt, from the present aspect of affairs, but that there will be shortly a rise in prices. We can now,
however, congratulate our friends and ourselves on the fact of our Assortment embracing all that fashion, style, and comfort
require, at that exceedingly low range of prices, which has rendered our house so distinguished. Fearlessly we defy compe-
tition, whether in regard to fabric, beauty of structure, neatness, or economy.

LONDON, 31sT OCTOBER, 1833.
The want of a properly Ventilated and Easy-fitting Hat, particularly since the introduction of the Silk Hats into general
Ilse, has given rise to many seeming improvements. The Inventors and Patentees of the EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT
have succeeded on the correct principle of Ventilation, by forming an Air Channel immediately around the head, permitting
a current of air to pass from thence through and out at the top of the Hat ; and the design may be applied to every variety
of shape worn, without infringing the light appearance so necessary to a becoming
Hat.—See Practical Mechanics' Journal,
Ist August, 1833, (date of Provisional Protection).
In directing attention to this new and very desirable Spring and Summer Hat we respectfully invite an inspection, when
its utility will be most apparent, and its general style hest understood.

rro THE PARISHIONERS.—The conduct of
the Churchwardens, in reference to the " Voluntary
Church Rae" for the present year, having been severely
criticised in some quarters, and as statements are current
calculated to mislead public opinion upon the subject, they
feel it a duty they owe to themselves and the. Ratepayers,
more clearly to define their relative positions.
At the time they accepted of ceethe Churchwardens were
obliged to assume an actual debt of 1648 I9s. 9d. on the
" Church Account," bequeathed to them by their predeces-
sors. During the past year they have reduce tat debt to
1356 6s. 3d. ; but for this sum they are personal y lhiable.
On Isaster Tuesday the Accounts were submitted to the
Parishimers, and passed. It then became the duty of the
Churchwardens to propose a rate for the liquidation of this
balance, and the payment of such charges on account of the
Parish Churches as had been usual; but, on doing so
, he
Vestry decided by a poll that no rate should be levied for the
purpose I—thus ignoring the debt of £356 6s. 3d., and refus-
ing to sanction the levy of the rate that had been customary.
The disagreeable alternative was thus forced upon the
Churchwardens to put a stop at once to all further expendi-
ture, and t acuaint the officials connected with the churches
that the Paorishiqoners had no further occasion for their services.
The Churchwardens forbear to make any comment upon
the course which the Parishioners have thought fit to adopt
towards them ; but they submit that it ought not to occasion
surprise or excite animadversion, when they decline to incur
any further liabilities on behalf of the public, unless provided
with the funds necessary to discharge the obligations imposed
upon them.
Being now thrown back upon a " Voluntary Church Rate,
it will depend upon the result of the collections how soon,
and to what extent, the Churchwardens may feel justified in
resuming the expenditure as heretofore.

MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS, —ln answer to your inquiry, the Fire-resisting
safe made by you was a very small one; though exposed to a
tremendous fire, and much injured by large masses of mate-
rials falling upon it, and remaining under the burning mass
several days (from March Ist to March 6th), yet we are glad
to say the most valuable part of its contents were so littl
injured that the writing was easily transcribed.—We are,e
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS and SONS.

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSGRAVES BROTHtO ERS
tte, for the in-
a.
GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg s
formation of the public, that the only property saved from the
late fire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that
contained in one of "%Diners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de.
struction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to ~this extraordinary instance of
their preservation.- I may add, that the Safe was placed on
the third story, without any protection, where it remained till
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be•
neath, the floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.

DAVIES'S ELECTRO-SILVER CREAM,
for giving a brilliant Polish to Silver Plate and Plated
Articles, German Silver, Britannia Metal, &c. The Genuine
Electro Cream (which is a trice preparation of silver, free
from quicksilver and every injurious ingredient) produces a
splendid silvery lustre without any trouble beyond that of
bottles. It has been examined by eminent chemists, severely
laying on and wiping off—, according to the directions on the
tried by leading silversmiths, and primounced to be worthy
in every respect of the high character given to it in the testi-
monials so kindly furnished to the proprietor.
CAUTION.—The true Cream has been made for many years
only by the inventor, S. DAvias, Chemist, Chester, whose
signature and address purchasers will please to notice to pre-
vent• disappointment. About the end of 1853, Mr. Stewart,
of Birkenhead, who styles himselfinventor" of the
" original Cream," and cautions the public against imita-
tions ! offered for sale an article under the same name, in
bottles of the same size and form, and at the same prices.
av
His wrappers are clumsy imitations of S. Dies's ; and it is
remarkable that his labels are exact copies (word for word) of
the two which have been used on the Genuine Cream for
years!!
The following copies of two orders received from Stewart
speak for themselves. The originals can be seen (with others)
on application to S. D.:— •
Ma. DAYIES.—Sir, Please send me I doz. ls. 6d. Electro-
Silver Cream by 9 i goods train in the morning, if you get
this in time; if not, send them by first passenger train, as I
milt some immediately. Enclose account and I'll send you
a P. 0. o.—Your's respectfully,
Birkenhead, 6th May, 1853. A. STEWART, Chemist.
Mr. Stewart will feel obliged if Mr. Davies will send him 1
doz..Electro-Silver Cream (is. gd. size) by rail at once. He
will send the money the first opportunity with Mr. Walker.
Birkenhead, 6th July, 1853.
