OPEN TOR BUSINESS ON SATURDAY,
THE 12TH INSTANT.
It is now more than twelve years since COMPTOM-
HOUSE was first established in Liverpool, and at no
portion of that period have three successive years elapsed
without considerable additions having been found neces-
sary for conducting the operations of their rapidly-in-
creasing trade. For so valuable a mark of public pre-
ference, J., M., and Co. embrace this medium of
tendering their most grateful acknowledgements, while
they confidently hope that, by a rigid adherence to the
system laid down at the commencement of their Estab-
lishment, and carried out with firmness and perseverance
to the present period, to receive a continuance of that
distinguished patronage with which they have been so
long honoured.

Probably it may be well briefly to state the system
adopted at COMPTON-HOUSE, which is this :—First, to
buy everything for prompt Cash, at the cheapest possible
rate; and, secondly, to sell precisely on the same terms,
having but one uniform price, from which, under no
circumstance, is the least abatement E.ade. The relative
position of the purchaser with cash and the purchaser on
credit admits of no comparison ; and that this fact is
beginning to he practically understood by the public, is
satisfactorily demonstrated by the past progress of COMP-
TON-HOUSE. J., M., and Co. urgently request that at
least all Housekeepers will compare the prices of goods
bought at their Establishment for cash with those pur-
chased elsewhere on credit, when the immense pecuniary
scaiifice consequent on the credit system will at once
become apparent.
A great portion of the additional area now embraced will
be devoted to the extension of many of the present depart-
ments, comprising SILKS, FANCY DRESSES, RIB-
BONS, SHAWLS, and SCARFS, of both French and
English manufacture. Neither labour nor expense has
been spared. Professional buyers for these departments
have visited the Continental and British Markets, and
selected a greater profusion of recherche'Goods than have
ever been submitted to the public taste by any retail
Louse in the United Kingdom.
THE BONNET ROOM
(which is attended to by Young Ladies) is the most
spacious and elegant in Europe. The Stock includes
every new design of the present Season in WHOLE
STRAWS, (peculiarly adapted for the garden and sea-
sided Tuscan, Dunstable, Chip, Rice, Leghorn, with
every description of Fancy Straws.
The FAMILY LINEN, &c. DEPARTMENT com-
prises DAMASK TABLE LINEN, TRAY CLOTHS,
NAPKINS, DOILEY'S, TOWELINGS, SHEET-
INGS. COUNTERPANES, QUILTS, and BLAN-
KETS.

J., M., and Co. respectfully intimate, that this depart-
ment receives more than ordinary attention. The greatest
possible care is observed to prevent the use of interior
Yarns; and an equal, if not greater, reliance may be
placed on the durability of this portion of their Stock than
that of the oldest Houses which have been established for
the exclusive sale of Family Linens.

Crests, Coats of Arms, or any other required design
made to order.

CARPETS,

One vast room will be entirely appropriated to CAR-
PETS, RUGS, and DRUGGETS, OIL and FLOOR
CLOTHS. Arrangements have been completed which
will secure a constant succession of new patterns, of the
best manufacture, exclusively designed and made for the
sale of COMPTON•HOUSE. Old patterns at very reduced
prices.

MOREENS, DAMASKS, AND PRINTED
FURNITURES.

In the Church-street portion of the Premises one entire
compartment will be occupied with this important branch,
of House Furniture. The Stock in UNION, WOR-
STED, SILK and SATIN DAMASK, TABARETTS,
WATERED MOREENS, and PRINTED FURNI-
TURES will be found unequalled in extent; from which
the peasant may select the cheapest articles to supply his
wants, or the prince the most unique and elegant to gra-
tify his taste.

It now only remains simply to state the reasons that
have led to the amalgamation of the
CABINET FURNITURE

with the customary business of COMPTON-HOUSE.
The vast consumption of the articles above enumerated,
especially of Carpets, Moreens, and the various fabrics
employed in Curtains, Hangings, and draperies of all
sorts, had so frequently been accompanied by a demand
for CABINET FURNITURE, and the immense advan-
tages springing from the ability to supply the whole ap-
pointments of Mansions en suite were so manifest, that
JEFFERY, MORRISH, and Co. were induced to turn their
earnest attention to the subject. The result was, first a
conviction that they could supply the desideratum, con-
fessedly so needed ; and, secondly, a determination that
they would supply it in a manner worthy of the character
Liverpool has so long enjoyed for an appreciation of the
elegant and beautiful in Art, as well as for the substantial
and excellent in Manufacture.

That London unfavourably situated for the receipt of
the raw material at an economic rate, with the very high
price of labour, and possessing no peculiar advantages
over the Provinces, should be almost the sole deo& for
the Manufacture of the higher class of HOUSEHOLD
FURNITURE for the whoie country was an anomaly
that would not bear a moment's investigation ; more es-
pecially when it is bore in mind, that, of all places in the
empire, Liverpool, from its geographical position, for
every purpose of import and export, and from its being
the natural Capital of the North, could advantageously
enter into competition with the Metropolis. Acting on
this assumption, and additionally stimulated by the recent
important reductions in the price of Cabinet Woods an-
nounced in the Budget, JEFFERY, MOURISH, and Co,
resolved to meet the London tradesmen on a footing of,
at least, perfect equality, not merely as regards the Manu-
facture, but the Design of the various articles connected
with Household Furnishing. To this end they have se-
cured the services of an Artist of the highest ability in
his profession, whose immediate business it will be, to as-
sist parties furnishing in realising that harmonious com-
bination of form, colour, and applicability so readily dis-
cernable in the residences of the metropolitan aristocracy,
and so easily attained where a disciplined judgment is
permitted to minister to the wants of affluence, or even
of bumble competence. This draughtsman will be like-
wise employed in original designs, or in copying the latest
Continental and London Fashions, in Furniture suitable
to the Boudoir, the Drawing-room, the Library, the Bed-
chamber, or other apartment ; and, in adapting such Ar-
ticles to the architectural or other peculiarities of the
places they are intended for.
The Solidity and Finish of the Articles executed to
these Patterns are guaranteed by the supervision of a
PRACTICAL CABINET-MAKER Of long standing and
respectability ; and the same object is secured in
COUCHES, OTTOMANS, well-seasoned FEATHER
BEDS, HORSE-HAIR MATRESSES, &c., by the
employment of an equally competent PRACTICAL UP-
HOLSTERER.

Thus, in these three important branches of the new
Business added to COMPTON-HOUSE, the Public are en-
sured all the advantages derivable from a systematic clas-
sification under three distinct heads, each presided over
by parties specially qualified for such duties.
In commencing the Supply of CABINET FURNI-
TURE, UPHOLSTERY, and everything appertaining
to them, JEFFERY, MORRISH, and Co again pledge
themselves to an undeviating adherence to those principles
on which COMPTON-HOUSE has from the first been con-
ducted ; and engage that every order with which they
may be entrusted shall be executed with integrity, judg-
ment, and taste.

Mansions can be furnished with unity and preciam,
(either in whole, or in part,) whet hert bey be in the United
States, British Colonies, or elsewhere, provided J., M.,
and Co. receive correct plans of the size of room;
style of architecture. An order for Payment on so
respectable firm in England will be necessary.

The proposal of the lines of the London, Worcester,
and South Staffordshire Railway through the district to
the west of London and Birmingham Railway, has called
for the revival of a line in connection with the London
and Birmingham and Midland. Railways, from the point
of junction between those lines at Hampton•in-Arden to
Warwick and Leamington, for which plans and sections
were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby Railway
Company (now united with the Midland Company) in
1841 and 1842, with a continuation of such line from
Warwick and Leamington to join the London, Worcester,
and Suuth Staffordshire Railway, the necessity for which
was specially referred to in the prospectus of that under-
taking, issued last autumn. This junction will be effected
by two lines—one to the neighbourhood of Southern, and
the other following the Valley of the Avon till it joins the
Stratford and Moreton Railway, near Stratford-upon-
Avon, which crosses the London and Worcester line. To
complete the communication with Cheltenham, a branch
will be made out of the London and Worcester line from
Evesham to Ashchurch, on the Birmingham and Glou-
cester line.

These objects are considered of so much importance by
the local interests, that their full support has been ob-
tained for carrying them into effect.
The Report of the Board of Trade in favour of the
London and Worcester line states so fully the peculiar
advantages of the scheme, that it is unnecessary to repeat
them here. The reasons there given for the adoption of
that measure apply in a great degree in favour of the
present proposal, as compared with any rival scheme and
the lines now proposed are so connected with the London,
Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, and with the
system of railway communication which the Board of
Trade have recommended in their Report, that the success
of the scheme may be considered to render certain the
adoption of the present project. Allusion may, however,
be made to the great importance of the junction at
Hampton, in connection with the Trent and Churnet
Valley lines, by means of which a direct and uninterrupted
communication will be established with Lancashire and
the North.

The London and Birmingham, Midland, and London
and Worcester Companies unite in co-operation with the
local interests, to insure the most effectual completion of
the objects in view.

A. guarantee will be proposed by the abovementioned
Companies, and a due proportion of the shares will be
reserved for local interests.

Careful surveys of the whole of the country have been
made under the direction of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
and application will be made to Parliament for an Act in
the next Session.

The Applications for Shares having already exceeded
the number for Allotment, no further applications can be
received.
