The revival of this beautiful and chaste style of flooring
presents an opportunity for decorating the floors of all
private as well as public buildings, in a style that has been
lost for ages ; combining elegance and durability, with
cleanliness and economy to an extent unattainable in any
other description of flooring.
_ _

These Tifes are copies of the best examples discovered
in many of our ancient and religious edifices; and the
perfection to which they are now brought will enable us
to vie in the display of good taste in our buildings with
Herculanteum and Pompeii.
The Patterns, Shapes, and Colours are of great variety :
besides which, Designs, Crests, and Armorial Bearings
can be got up to order; and they commend themselves
particularly for LOBBIES, CONSERVATORIES, SUMMER-
HOUSES, DAIRIES, and, indeed, for any floor where our
English idea of comfort can dispense with Carpeting.

GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICES OF THE
PERRYIAN PENS.
QUALITY IMPROVED.
JAMES PERRY and Co. have the pleasure to announce
that in consequence of increased facility in the manu-
facture of their Pens, they have reduced the prices to the
level of all other Pens in the market, at the same time
their superiority in quality is maintained.
J. P. and Co. embrace this opportunity-to return thanks
to their numerous Friends for the decided preference given
to the Perryian Pens for so many yea's, and caution the
Public against the spurious imitations which are frequently
imposed upon them for the genuine Perryian Pens.
PATENT PERRYIAN GRAVITATING INK-
STAND.
This novel Invention is exceedingly well adapted for
general use. The Patentees strongly recommend it to the
notice of Bankers, Merchants, Solicitors, Government
Offices, Public Companies, Schools, &c., as a great im-
provement over the ordinary Inkstands. It is formed by
a cylinder with a gravitating action, by which means the
dipping cup is supplied with clear Ink at any moment,
and, with equal ease, may be returned into the cylinder,
where it is protected from dust or other injury.
DOUBLE PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INK-
STAND.
Great improvement has recently been made in the
Manufacture of this article. The Patentees can with
confidence recommend it as complete for general use,
combined with elegance and simplicity in its action.
PERRYIAN INK..
6d., is., and 2s. per. Bottle.
This Ink is most suitable for all kinds of Metallic Pens,
and exceedingly good for pens made from quills. It is
also suitable for the copying machine. The ordinary inks
do not flow freely down Metallic Pens, and from their
corrosive nature are very injurious to them the Perryian
Ink possesses every requisite good quality, has a flowing
property peculiar to itself, and does not Corrode Pens as
other; inks. Writing- performed with this ink in a short
time becomes of a deep raven black, and never turns
brown
in any climate.
Also in Powders, at 6d. and Is. each, the latter sufficient
to make a wine bottle full of ink.

COFFEE REDUCED 2D. PER POUND

HOLLIS, WALFORD, AND COMPANY'S.
OVERNMENT have this day carried into operation
their plan of a Reduction of Twopence per Pound
in the Duty upon Coffee the produce of Foreign Coun-
tries. As a matter of justice, the Public are entitled to
the full benefit of this alteration, which, as far as we are
individually concerned, they shall have in their power to
appreciate.

At
A the commencement of our career as Tea and Coffee
Dealers, in February 1842, it will be in the recollection
of many, we then stated, that, whatever changes might
at any future period take place, (if of a character tojus-
iffy an alteration in our prices,) we should at once accede
to the change, and give it every publicity in our power.
This principle we are determined to carry out whenever
an opportunity presents itself; and, as a proof of the sin-
cerity of our professions, we now lay before you a List of
Prices, and solicit a fair and impartial trial.
We are aware that some of our noisy competitors are
professing to sell the finest Coffee imported at Is. 10d.
per lb. These parties, we will at once show, attempt
what they must know cannot by any possibility be accom-
plished. For instance:
The very choicest Jamaica Coffee in the 1355. per cwt.
market at the present time is realizing
Add for duty, expense of roasting, and loss qf weight

--1.
This, calculating the return at ninety-four pounds,Bls which
may be considered a fair average for this class of Coffees,
will be found to cost ls. 11d. per pound. Now, how this
article can be retailed to the public at Is. 10d. (unless
some unfair means be resorted to) we are at a loss to
conjecture.
This simple fact must convince any reflecting mind the
degree of caution necessary to be observed before they
take for granted the unwarrantable assertions made by
many noisy pretenders, that unfortunately disgrace the
respectability of the Tea Trade at the present time.
We have been before the Public of Liverpool and the
Northern Counties now upwards of Two Years, as claim-
ants, upon fair and honourable grounds, for their support.
That it has been awarded to us in an eminent degree,
there requires no further proof than the fact of our doing
one of the largest ready-money Tea and Coffee Trades
out of the Metropolis.
From our commencement we have aspired to a high
position. Having obtained it, we are resolved to main-
tain, by every means in our power, the confidence that
has throughout our career existed between ourselves and
supporters.
Annexed is our List of Prices, showing a Reduction of
Twopence per Pound upon all Foreign Coffee :

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY,

Viscount STRANGFORD rose and said he was anxious,
before the order of the day was read, to call their lord-
ships ;:tention to a bill which stood that night for the
third rya-ling—he meant the Manchesti-r Bonding Bid. It
had gone through all the previous stages sub silentio, and
awaited only the third reading. No explanation whatever
bad been given of it to their lordships, aor did he know
who had what was designated the charge of it. For his
own part, e was ignorant of its contents or its provisions,
and should he glad to have a print of it. Had the bill the
Sanction of the vovernment ?

The Earl of M INTO rose to speak to order. Bethought
it was a great wAste of time to be going into a discussion
so irregularly. It would he time enough for the noble
viscount to subm to motion on the subject when the third
reading of the bill was proposed. (Hear )

.
After a short discussion' in which the Earl of Shaftes-
bury, Lord Mnoteagle, and the Earl of Wilton took part,
the subject was dropped.
After some tii,,cussion the hill to prevent the union of
the sees of St. A-aph and Bangor went through com-
mittee, awl was reported without amendment.
The Brothel: Suppression Bill led to a repetition of the
attack formerly made by the Earl of Ftzhardinge against
the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, and to an able
reply from the Bi-hop of Gloucester; after which the bill
went through committee, and was reported without any
amendment.

Some bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, and
their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY.

Mr, DUNCOMBE again brought under consideration the
recent opening of let ers at the Post-office, and insisted
that it was but the continuation of a practice which had
been in active opera ion during the last two years. He
charged the Post-office air horhies with keeping a letter-
opening ma•hinery, with the connivance of the govern-
ment, for political purposes. He moved that a petition
which he presented upon the subject might be referred to
a select committee, with a view that an inquiry should be
instituted into the system.
Dr. BONGING seconded the motion.
Sir J. GRAHAM commented on the want of courtesy
betrayed by the hon. member, in not having made him
previously acquai,,tl wiih the circumstances of the case.
If he had exceeded his power he was open to prosecution ;
but denying that he had done aught that was in the slight-
est degree questionable, he objected to the proposition of
the hon. member.

Mr. MACAULEY contended that the power was one
which should no longer be sufl•ered to exist, without very
great modification. _ _

Captain BERNAL said, a rumour was afloat that Irish
correspondence was habitually violated.
Sir ROBERT PEEL defended the course pursued by Sir
James Graham, who had acted on a law passed in the
reign of Queen Anne, and which had been properly re-
enacted by the late government, and although his right
hon. friend had felt it his duty to refuse all explanation,
yet he had in no way exceeded the practice under Mr.
Fox and Lord Granville.

Sir G. GREY said the gravamen of the charge was that
the exercise of the power took place at the instance of a
foreign government for its own purposes, and that by thus
exercising it, the right hon. gentleman had compromised
the faith and honour of this country.
The motion was negatived by a majority of 206 to 162.
On the motion for going into committee on the Batik
Chatter Bill, several suggestions were made by Alderman
Thompson, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Masterman, after
which
Mr. Mown moved that the bill should be committed
that day six months; an amendment which was seconded
by Mr. WALLACE, and opposed by Sir R. PEEL.
The amendment was negatived by a majority of 205 to
IS.
The house then went into committee on the clauses of
the bill.
