GENUINE DURHAM MUSTARD,
In lb. and Lead Packages.
THE universal satisfaction this Article has given to
Families, and the patronage the Proprietary have re-
ceived since they have introduced the GENUINE ARTICLE,
enables them to have it manufactured according to their
own direction, and they are now in a position to supply
Dealers at Manufacturers' Prices, thereby insuring pure
quality, which is so difficult to obtain.
This Mustard possesses double the strength of that
usually offered to the Public.

PATENT OLMSTED STOVES,
FOR WARMING CHURCHES OR SPACIOUS
BUILDINGS. OFFICES, SHOPS, HALLS, ke.
THESE STOVES have now been several years before
the Public, and have given general satisfaction, as is
attested by the numerous places where they have been
adopted.

Its peculiarity over all others is that of diffusing an equal
temperature even to the remotest part of the room, how-
ever large, without the necessity of its being placed in the
centre. This is effected by means of an Apparatus called
a Radiator, which being connected to the Furnace by
means of a flue only, never becomes overheated, conse-
quently the purity of the air is not injured. The cost of
Fuel is very trifling, Anthracite Coal being decidedly the
best and cheapest, a stock of which is kept constantly on
hand by the Agents, for the convenience of their Cus-
tomers, and is delivered in Sacks of Two Hundred Weight
each, or in bulk.

The Stoves may be seen in use, and every information
given, by applying to the Agents,

FURS

AT PRICES THAT CANNOT BE EQUALLED,
(When Quality is consulted,)
BY ANY OTHER HOUSE IN THE- KINGDOM.
The Oregon or Columbia River districts produces a
greater variety of Furs than any other in America. Sid-
ney Hall, Esq., when treating of zoology, in his able
introduction to Black's General Atlas, says of this dis-
trict—" Its most distinguished characteristic is the number
of its Rodentia, amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-
tained species." The skins all of which are of excellent
quality.
As this House has only been recently opened, it must
be obvious to the public that their made-up Furs are all
OF THE LATEST STYLES OF FASHION.

A confectioner's shop, too, is a thing to be looked at.
That cake is quite imaginative. The ravines of coloured
sugar are beautifully picturesque ; the temple upon the
rock is of a peculiar order of architecture ; not Corin-
thian, but rather Twelfth-Nightian ; and if the scarlet
and gold men and women are half the size of the moun-
tain, and decidedly taller than the ternr,le, we ought to
admire that fine imaginative genius, which bunt the bonds
of nature, and quite remodels and reforms the retrospec-
tive sizes of men arid mountains.

And how long processions of charity boys and girls are
defiling along the pavements. 'Muffin c,,ps and yellow
leathers are someway or other always on the move about
Christmas time. The beadle you will observe shines
with more than usual lustre of beadledom ; he has
mounted a new cocked hat, and his bearing is striking to
behold. The children look happy too : the who!e line is
ore long giggle. Is there not to be a Christmas dinner ?
To be sure there is ; vague rumours have been in circu-
lation for a fortnight, touching the incredible quantity of
roast beef in preparation, and whispers have been heard
of ale. A boy of great resolution ventures to hint an in-
quiry to the beadle, who, wonderful to relate, does not
tad him over the knuckles, but smiles with a pleasant
mystery, and tells him to be a good boy, and he will see
what he shall see.

Evening is coming on. Blinds are drawn down sooner
than usual, because everybody is anxious to begin the
pleasant snug time of candlelight. Gas flares furiously in
open shops and markets, bursting forth in small volcanoes,
as if it were determined to cook the dainties which still
main unpurchased, even should there be customer to cut
them. Omnibuses going to the suburbs, where snug
cottages and villas abound, are perfectly loaded with the
invited to dinner porties ; and on the roofs are deposited
stores from the fruiterers or the fishmongers ; parcels of
apples and nuts and barrels of oysters.
And now there comes, as the darkness gradually closes,
pleasantly stealing upon the nose a sense of the flavour
of roasted goose. It increases—it becomes palpable—
there can be no mistake about it. Forth from every
third chimney-post comes the smoke of a Christmas din-
ner, and the flavour of the fare, until all London is per-
vaded with the smell of roast goose. See how people
sniff it, and nod knowingly. They recognise the odour—
sweeter than Sabman spice, myrrh—the incense of the
Christmas worship !
And with the incense the chant of the festive rites—the
carol—the old well-remembered traditionary Christmas
carol. fl ark I it is pealing from children's ringing
voices, trainding shrilly over the low roar of the moving
city • speaking of mirth and friendly greetings, and good
wishes between man and man.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are not disposed to retort on " A Friend to Uniformity" as
we corn dive he deserves. Is he aware that by the 74th canon
bishops are required " to wear in their journey's a priest's
cloak, and to wear a plain nightcap of black sdk, satin, or
velvet." When he can show us on his OWn principles any r a-
son why the hshops do not comply with this canon we may
then attempt (no- great endeavour) to r. concile the usages
and non observances which have so excited the wrath of our
correspondent, with a firm and uncompromising attachment
to the Church of England.
We have received several communications on the so' ject cf
erecting a church in this town for the celebration of div ne
worship in the lrish language. As w:.• have already said, we
shall be exceedingly glad to help forward so desirable an ob-
ject; but we fear the influence of the priests would be ex-
erted, and that very few of the poor Irish Romanists would
avail themselves of the opportnuity of hearing a sermon iu
their native tongue. We may suggest that a middle service
in that language should be conduAed in one of the present
churches; and we shall Le glad to see some influential parties
set about it in good earnest. The fi st step should be the
raising of a sum of money t'o defray the unavoPable expenses
of carrying it out.

ANTICIPATED BREVET.

The report of an early brevet daily gains ground ; in-
deed, when we look over the army and navy lists, and
recollect the ages of the superior officers in either service,
it becomes evident that we need some younger men to be
raised to the higher ranks in both. In the navy, as we
remarked last week, there are scarcely five men under 60
years of age among the first fifty on the list of captains;
and the greater part of this number, it has been shown to
us, are above sixty-five. The same, we believe, may be
said of the next fifty on the list ; thus, it must be manifest
that the next promotion of flag officers, whenever it may
take place, will, as we have heard is the intention, include
the captains of 1810, which will be just forty-three, even
if it does not go lower ; and this number, former prece-
dents, together with the death of so many admirals (fifty,
we think) since the last brevet, will fully authorise its
being extended to.
In January, 1837, the number of captains promoted to
rear admirals, was
In June, 1838....
In November, 1841 4l
Hence, as upwards of three years have now elapsed
since the last promotion, we have every reason to expect
that the number of captains to be promoted to be flag
officers will at least amount to 43, even if it does not equal
the number that have died since the previous brevet. We
might further remark, in support of the necessity of
making the promotion of flag officers thus extensive,
that one of the first fifty captains on the list we have been
informed that there are scarcely ten who have commanded
sea-going ships for any period of time during the last
twenty-five years and upwards; and, that moreover, out
of the first two hundred there are full one hundred and
fifty who stand in the same situation. Thus, with every
sense of the gallantry and former professional reputation
of these officers, we humbly think that after being from
twenty-five to thirty years on shore, they would not desire
to be again brought into active employment at sea, where
every thing would appear so changed as to make their
duties irksome and unpleasant to themselves, and seriously
inconvenient to the public service.—Naval and Military
Gazette.

this Establishment, and, in calling attention to their
PRESENT IMMENSE STOCK OF FURS,
which comprises every variety for which this River, one
of the greatest in America, is so justly celebrated, trust
that their future exertions may meet the same liberal
reward past energies have secured.
The mere title of the "Columbia Fur Company"
carries with it no more weight than that of any other
company; but the immense resources of this gigantic
stream, the length of which is 1560 miles, connecting by
its ow❑ waters, or immediate branches, the vast districts
of Austria, Colo, Canoe Camp, the Rocky Mountains,
Flat Brow, Chippeway, Pembunco, and the principle Fur
climates, as well as the Lakes, and the ready transit for
skins procured by the inhabitants, who, as well as the
native India tribes, principally gain their subsistence by
capturing fur-producing animals, enables this Company
to offer

" NIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE," &C. &C.

Under this title will be published a SERIES of STORIES
and NOVELETTES, illustrative of English, Irish, and
Scottish Character, Domestic Manners, and Social Du-
ties, by Mrs. JORNSTONT, and other well-known Writers
of Fiction, whose works have obtained a large share of
public approbation.
Though the Tales in this Series will be all copyright,
and part of them written expressly for the Work, it is the
aim and hope of the Conductor to furnish literary amuse-
ment of a healthful and refined character, at the cheapest
rate.

OF
92, BOLD-STREET,
11311EGS most respectfully to inform the Nobility and
Ladies of Liverpool and the Vicinity that he has
always ready for inspection one of the
LARGEST RETAIL STOCK OF FURS
to be found either in or out of the Metropolis, (certainly
tlie most select,) and being solely his own Manufacture—
a great advantage over the mere seller—bc is in a position
to answer for every article sold. At the present moment,
he has several

NEW DESIGNS,
to which he respectfully invites an inspection. Many
imitations having been attempted, they will, in conse-
quence, not be exhibited in the windows of his Esta-
blishment. The advantage he possesses of having an
agent
ALWAYS IN THE LONDON MARKETS,
not only enables him to have the NEWEST FASHIONS,
but to purchase on most advantageous terms, consequently
he can offer FURS at such prices as he fearlessly asserts
will defy competition. The alterations and repairs will
be executed, as heretofore, by London Workmen.

JEWELLERY,

ontirely re-assorted, and begs also to announce the arrival
hf the very extensive selection of Goods, purchased by
him during his recent journey on the Continent, of
which he respectfully solicits the favour of an early
inspection.
The Collection includes DIAMONDS and other
GEMS, several hundred very fine CAMEOS, MO-
SAICS, and ENAMELS, and an elegant variety of
CHATELAINES, HEAD ORNAMENTS, BOU-
QUET-HOLDERS, FANS, BAGS, PURSES, &c. &c.
F. L. H. has again chosen, from the Ateliers of the first
Artists of Paris, some beautiful Specimens of
BRONZES.
which, with an Assortment of
ORNAMENTAL GLASS, CHINA, &c.,
(some of the former being of a perfectly novel descrip-
ti") and an immense assemblage of other Articles,
adapted for Christmas Presents, will, he trusts, be found
highly interesting to the Connoisseur, and afford much
gratification to his Patrons generally.
In compliance with his custom at this season of the
year, F. L. H. has selected an extensive Stock of

TOYS,
comprising every novelty that Germany, France, and
Engond can offer for the amusement and instruction o
hi juvenile Friends, and hopes that the choice which he
has made will meet with general approval.

SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore,
who, from various causes, would experience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to
re pare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract,
which possesses the advantagesof portability and of keeping
in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of
employing this much-esteemed Medic:ne.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial arc
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Erup-
tive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a
diseased state of the system at large. For removing
Blotches, Pimples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has
no superior.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
which approach nearer than anything vet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combine scientific skill with great accuracy ;
and though numbers of people unacquainted with the
business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious
compounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor
the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Pow-
ders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin

PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL OR INCEN-

DIARY FIRES.

London and Birmingham Railway Office,
Easton Station, Bth April, 1814.
SI am instructed to send the enclosed report of
the results of the public experiments on your Fire-
resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this
Company, which uas authorised by the Directors to be
made under the immediate superintendence of their own
officers; and to congratulate you on the complete success
of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your
admirable invention to be tested.

I am, sirs, your obedient servant,
R. CREED, Secretary.
Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, Liverpool.

Patents for Enoland, Ireland, and Scotland, sealed 1810.
MILNERS' NEW PATENT

FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH
BOXES, BOOK SAFFS, AND GUNPOWDER
MAGAZINES, &c., &C.,
WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY
TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL

DIMENSIONS.

Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from
30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling
the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per
cent. more each size.

The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con-
tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes
irnhedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes
into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box
and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers
and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam
1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and
preventing ignition.
From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis-
charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box
upwards of 200 Gallons of Steam, of more certain avail
in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a
burning building with the same object.
The advantage of this principle, embracing "the exclu-
sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica-
tion of heat,' over every other description of Box or Safe,
is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in
quenching Fire.
An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to
red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and
remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards.
Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated,
tested in Red I leat from One to Twelve Hours, in various
thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au-
thorities and scientific and practical men, in the h ading
towns of the three kingdoms.
Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society and the
Liverpool Polytechnic Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods,
jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from
Fire," &c. &c. &c.
The patentees have certificates from parties whose books
have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre-
mises.

In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out
of ten houses lost their books in their iron safes.

CAUTION.—None are genuine but such as have Milners'
patent plates upon Clem, with the date " sealed 1840."
