has establi,hed an eating-house on the American principle•

CASHMERE SHAWLS.—We have been shown by ML.•
Searle, of Bold-street, (whose advertisement appears
another column,) several pattern specimens of shawls for
the ensuing summer, some of which are not only exceed-

The Foundation Stone of this edifice will be laid on Thurs•
day afternoon next, at four o'clock, by the Hon. Ft°
Maule, and in the evening a Soiree in celebration of the
event will be held at the Music Hall, as advertised in our
present paper. •

Mr. Franklin advertises in another column his dining'
rooms in George-street. He sets out an excellent dinner'

rooms, though not extensive, are retired and select, and
this in a town like Liverpool is no slight recommends'
tion.
