BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

FAIRBANKS' WEIGHING MACHINES,
with or without
POOLEY'S NEW PATENTED IMPROVEMENTS,
adapted for Shops, Wharfs, Roads, and Railwa, s.
HENRY POOLEY AND SON,
27, MANCHESTER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
CONTINUE THE

SOLE MAKERS UNDER THE PATENT.
Some of their advantages are—
I.—Economy in Price ; to the extent of from 25 to 40 per
cent.
11.—Economy in Time and Labour ;—only the one hun-
dredth part of the weights is required to be lifted; one-half of
the time occupied in weighing is entirely saved.
111,—Economy in Space ;—they have only one Platform or
Scale ; no fixtures are required for suspension ; no room is oc-
cupied by weights.
IV.—Economy in Annual Expense ;—they require less pe-
riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their
bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo-
ment of ascertaining the weight.
As a Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads,
and for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pe
culiarly.adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only
fifteen inches deep; it occupies only half the usual space in
the office; it is more exact in its indications than any of the
old kinds of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of
FAIRBANKS' MACHINES,
OF
POOLEY'S MANUFACTURE,
has induced many imitations, having a professed and specious
resemblance, at a low price. To guard the Public from imposi-
tion, and the invention from losing its high standing by the
hands of incompetent makers,
THE TRUE MACHINE
IS NOW OFFERED AT PRICES 'FULLY AS LOW AS THE

IMITATION,
Thus placing it within the reach of every Trader.

IMPORTANT SALE OF PORT WINE, AT LIVERPOOL

THIS DAY, (Tuesday,) the 16th, andTo-moRROW, (Wednesday,)
17th instant,
AT THE PORTICO,the
NEWINGTON, BOLD-STREET,
By Mr. WILLIAM MEDLAND,
IN CONVENIENT LOTS,
500 PIPES OF PORT WINE,
(Including Hogsheads and Quarter Cashed
OF TILE FINEST VINTAGES,
AND ALL FIRST GROWTHS FROM 1820 to 1340,

BEING THE PROPERTY OF
Messrs. OFFLLYS, WEBBER; FORRESTER and CRAMP,
ALTO-DOURO FARMERS, GROWERS, AND SHIPPERS OF
PURE PORT,
Who, being desirous of confining their Oporto business in fu-
ture as much as possible to the annual produce of their exten-
sive Farms of the Alto-Douro, (in consequence of its being no
longer safe or expedient, in the present political state of Europe,
to continue to hold such extensive deposits of Wines abroad as
heretofore,) have determined to DISPOSE OF a great portion
of their large and valuable STOCK (of which this forms a part)
of beautiful matured OLD PORTS, consisting of the finest vin-
tages, as above described.

Mr., Forrester, of Oporto, one of the Principals of the House,
will have the pleasure of attending on the occasion.
Catalogues and tasting orders may be had on application at
the Office of Messrs. OFFLEY, WEBBER, FORRESTER and Co.,
18, Chapel-street. Liverpool.
The Wines are in No. 1 Vault, Albert Deck.

TO THE WINE MERCHANTS OF LIVERPOOL
GENTLEMEN,
IT has come to our knowledge that certain parties,
residents in this town, have been simulating reports re-
fleeting against the quality of the PORT WINES which we have
advertised for SALE by AUCTION on the 15th, 16th, and 17th
instant, with an evident intention of prejudicing your minds,
and the minds of other purchasers, against our Sale. One of
the assertions made is, that the said Wines are of the vintage
1816, and that, "in consequence of their being almost alto-
gether without brandy, they will turn sour !"
A reference to our Catalogues, and to the Wines themselves,
Will prove to you the groundlessness of this calumny—there
not being a single pipe of Port of the vintage of 1846 amongst
the parcel of Wines referred to. We reserve ourselves, for a
future occasion, if necessary, to show the absurdity of the
prevailing notion that Port Wine will not keep without an
enormous quantity of adventitious spirit—simply reminding
you that it has been mainly owing to excessive Brandying and
adulterations, that Port Wine has been thrown into such dis-
repute amongst a discerning British public, whose favourite
beverage it used formerly to be.
We do not, for a moment, suppose that you will allow your-
selves, to be biassed by other than your own judgment with
regard to our proceedings, and therefore respectfully request,
not only your rigid examination of our Wines, now lying in the
Albert Dock, but also your presence on the clays of sale.
As Growers, Shippers, and Importers of the Wines in ques-
tion we confidently offer them to your notice, and, whilst we
distinctly assure you that we have at present neither wish nor
intention of interfering with your trade, our future proceed-
ings will, of necessity, be regulated by the part which you may
take with respect to us during the present and ensuing week.
We remain, respectfully,
Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servants,
OFFLEY, WEBBER, FORRESTER, and Co.
Liverpool, 18, Chapel-street,
10th May, 1848.
