WOOLLEN WAREHOUSE,

TWO DOORS FROM CHURCH-STREET.

ORICHMOND, in calling the ention of the Inha-
• bitants of Liverpool and vicinity to the above
Establishment, begs to refer o his Address issued last
Autumn, in which he !red himself to do a Woollen
Trade on a system never efore attempted in this town—
namely, to supply every description of Woollen Goods
at a snzall per-centage on the manufacturers' prices, for
cash only ; at the same time he promised to sell none but
good Good's.
That he has fulfilled his promise, that he has redeemed
his pledge, and that his exertions have been duly appre-
ciated, the extensive patronage, accompanied by assu-
rances of satisfaction from his customers, sufficiently
testify.
J. R. has now the pleasure to announce that his WIN-
TER STOCK is ready for inspection, and will be found
well worthy the attention not only of the Retail but also
of every Wholesale Buyer who, doing business on J. R.'s
terms, wishes to save the expense of visiting the Yorkshire
or West of England Markets: That Woollen Goods are
higher, and that the Market is still a rising one, there can
be no doubt, yet, in consequence of an early visit, and
making large purchases for Cash, J. R. is in a position
to offer his New Stock at Old Prices, and in some in-
stances cheaper than at any former period. The Stock
consists of every variety of the newest designs in Vestings
and Trorvserings, in every Material in which they can be
produced ; superfine Broad Cloths, in every shade of co-
lour ; also, an endless Stock of Waterproof Tweeds,
Beavers, Pilots, and other Materials for Over Garments,
Shooting Coats, arc. Special attention is directed to a
large and carefully-selected Stock of Wool Black .Cloths.
Doeskins, and Cassimeres, an inspection of which will
prove to the Purchaser that high Prices are not necessary
for the possession of a first-rate Article. In conclusion,
J. R. wishes to reiterate what he has before said, that he
is determined to render himself as celebrated for the good
quality of every Article as for the small profit for which
he sells it.
Every Article for BOOT AND SD ORM AKERS.

COFFEE GROUND BY STEAM POWER,

AT THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,

NO. 2, BOLD-STREET.

WE deem it incumbent on ourselves to address our
Customers and the Inhabitants of Liverpool gene-
rally, in consequence of some extraordinary statements
having appeared in the form of advertisements and pla-
cards respecting the prices of the es Jamaica Coffee.
Two months since, when G ernment reduced the duty
on Foreign Coffee, we publ" y announced it, and MADE
THE REDUCTION. Sine bat period we have been as-
sailed by many in the t de (some directly and others in-
directly) charging u with quoting the finest Jamaica
Coffee at much high prices than they can sell it. In our
last circular we p nted out that the FINEST MOUNTAIN
JAMAICA COFFEE could not be sold under two shillings
per lb. We again repeat it ; and further, we DEFY any
one in the trade to sell the CHOICEST DESCRIPTIONS
OF COFFEE at a lower price and obtain a fair remunera-
ting profit, unless adulterated with chicory, which we
know is almost universally adopted.

After mature deliberation v;e have decided that such
gross impositions shall be exposed, and we are determined
to put it down, or at least to bring it before the public in
such a manner, that if they buy it afterwards, they buy it
knowingly; we have, therefore, had erected expressly A
POWERFUL STEAM-ENGINE, on a new principle, SO that
Customers may see their COFFEE GROUND as they pur-
chase it, and we wish to impress THE FACT upon the
mind of both Rich and Poor, that unless they adhere to
this principle, or buy it in the berry, that nine times out
of ten they will buy one-fourth chicory, or some other
stuff mixed with it, which easily aceountsfor many persons
quoting their best Coffee at is. 10d. per lb., and cone
even quote the finest Jamaica, at lc Bd. per lb. This
latter class, although important in regard to their num-
bers, are perfectly insignificant in point of respectability.
We have dwelt thus particularly on the article of Coffee
for three plain reasons :
First,—The immense quantity of Coffee that is con-
sumed in this town justifies us in giving our principles
publicity.
Secondly,—Tho vast quantity of Chicory that is used
and sold as Coffe,!, ends its way into the coffee-pots of all,
more particularly of the working classes, as they have not
generally the convenience for grinding.
Thirdly,—We unflinchingly pledge ourselves to aril
none but pure Coffee, and repeat, we defy thane who quote
the finest kinds of Jamaica Coffee at Is. Bd. am lc. 1041.
per lb. to sell it without adulteration of sotto kind or
ether.

Having pointed out the foregoing facts, we think it un-
necessary to slake further remarks, as we have exposed
the gigantic evil, and have placed you in a position to
protect yourselves.
It may be well here to remind you that when establish-
ing ourselves in this town, as Tea and Corwe Dratem we
stated " when any change took place for the, benefit of
consumer; we should give it publicity." This, we consi-
der, is a chonga-wal -watthytliP .ttention of every COlieev_
drinker.

OUR PRICES ARE FORI IS. 6d. per lb.,
REALLY FINE FOREIGN suitable for Schools and
COFFEE . .
Common Jamaics, Broken Berry, ls. per lb. ;—a ut,eful
description at Is. 2d. to ls. 4d. per lb. ;---o its Jamaica
Coffee, at ls. 81. per lb., melt recommended ;—wlso a
recherche sample of Mountain Jamaica, at B►r. per lb.
Having drawn your attention minutely to the Coffee
Trade, we do not vri,h it to be thought that the TEA
TRADE occupies a less important feature in our (Willie-
tion than it has hitherto done ; on the contrary, we have
the same determination of purpose in dealing out this
article as Coffee. No doubt can now exist that we have
established an EXTENSIVE FAMILY TEA TRADE, ty,, ex-
ercising spirited enterprise, careful judgment, a►►d honesty
of purpose; beyond all these our best interest is consulted
by SELLING GOOD TEAS, at a small profit, for READY
MONEY. This we shall do at the following prices :
Good Congou Tea, 3s. Gd. to 3s. Bd. per lb. for com-
mon IeBe;—FINE STRONG CONGOU, 4s. fit for household
purposes;—THE FINEST CONGOU IMPORTED, 4s. Gd. per
lb.. much recommended;—CHOlCE SOUCHONG, bs. per Ib.

From our• commencement we have aspired to a high
position, having obtained it, we ars
.resolved to use every
means in our power to maintain that confidence which has
existed throughout our career between ourselves and sup-
porters.
In conclusion we invite "a careful comparison," and if
others can sell better articles, at a less price, on fair and
honourable terms, we willingly resign the trade to them,
as we admire competition when conducted on liberal
principles.
We are your obedient Snvants,

MILNERS' NEW PATENT
FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH
BOXES, BOOK SAFES' 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 134 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
imbedded 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 Steanr, 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 Princirle has been investigated,
tested in Red !teat 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 Ifading
towns of the three kingdoms.
Under the ate pices of the Royal Dublin Society and the
Liverpool Pol;technic Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods,
jon. p_amohlet " 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 sales.
CAUTION.—None are kenuine but-such as have Mailers'
patent plates upon them, with the date " sealed 1840."

JOHN WOOD, Proprietor of the above Establishment,
is again induced to appear before a d'scerning and ge-
nerous Public, adopting as his motto, the Best Article at
the Lowest Price—small profits and quick returns, feeling
assured that the NIMBLE NINEPENCIL will always beat the
SLOW SHILLING.

My object is to obtain a fair trial and comparison, my
professions have already been satisfactorily tested ; I can
now, therefore, appeal with c lidence to those who may
not already have given me Hal with certainty of suc-
cess, being confident th he Public will see the justness
and soundness of the rinciples upon which my business
is conducted.
The success w ch has marked my PROGRESS AS A
MANUFACTURER, proves that such an establishment was
much wanted in Liverpool, as there cannot be a doubt
much higher prices are frequently exacted from the public
than are justifiable.
Therefore, I trust that the list, fraught with so many
advantages, will meet with general support, and that the
FIATS will be such as to command the attention of
Purchasers. •
