197. LONDON-ROAD,
NEAR MOSS-STREET, LIVERPOOL,

BEGS respectfully to acquaint his Friends and the
B
Public, that, in addition to his previous selection of
BRITISH WINES, he hatadded a prime lot of GREEN
GINGER, which, forieength and flavour, will be found
not to be surpasses goy where. This Wine is truly de-
lightful and pleasant to the taste, and not to be excelled,
and is rapidly getting into note as being a superior article
of its kind. W. B. being content with small profits, he
is thus enabled to offer the above at the unprecedented
low price stated. Being fully confident the Public will
duly appreciate his exertions to merit their favour and
patronage.
W. B. intimates to his Friends and the Public that they
will find at. his Establishment, a more choice variety of
excellent Wines than at any other house in the Trade ;
thus flattering himself, that all who may apply will be
able to suit their taste, without having to go from one
place to another, as is too often the case.
Having always on hand a carefully selected assortment
of Teas, Coffees, &c., in the Grocery Department ; and
Pickles, Preserves, Sauces, Sperm, and Wax Candles,
and every other article in the Italian Department, war-
ranted of the best quality, and suitable for families, he is
desirous of drawing the attention of the Public to them,
being confident they will be found worthy of their ap-
proval on being fairly tested.

NUTRIMENT OF DATES.
(Extract from the Morning Post, Dec. 10, 1824.)
"For persons of weakly habits there is not anything
better than two or three Dates taken in the morning, fast-
ing. For sportsmen and travellers they are invaluable.
This opinion is confirmed in the Encyclopaedia Perthensis,
viz., Dates have always been considered strengthening.
Dates afford much wholesome nourishment, and invigorate
the constitution. They are extremely restorative."—

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
UNDER the above head you have been addressed by
Mr. Thomas Urquhart, of Bold-street, relative to
our purchase (from Mr. Potts, the Official Assignee, and
Mr. Holdsworth, of Yorkshire, the Trades' Assignee) of
the Stock of Brown, Urquhart, and Co., Bankrupts,
Manchester.

Our friend, Mr. Urquhart, appears very wroth, and
under the influence of warm temper, has brought several
very grave charges against us in the Mercury, of to-day.
of which we plead " not guilty." We will endeavour
briefly to give the facts, (most of which can be proved by
either of the Assignees, if necesstry,) and then, as we
have neither time nor inclination for a paper warp we will
leave the public to judge between us.
First, " Urquhart and Co." never did appear in the
windows of Compton-house withot.4-111-e" word "Brown"
preceding it ; and, for a conliction of this fact, we
challenge Mr. Urquhart to,t.K6 proof. That we bought
the Stock Mr. Urquharfriamits ; that we removed it to
our premises many (Jo: Sur friends have had ocular demon-
stration, as may Airr. Urquhart himself, if he have any
real wish to be fied with its correctness; and that an
" alarming sacrifice" has been made upon it is too well
known to those who are, unfortunately creditors on the
estate of " Brown, Urquhart, and Co."
Secondly, we never stated that such a firm as Brown,
Urquhart, and Co. ever existed in Liverpool, nor had we
the least intention ever to imply it. In the first adver-
tisement which appeared, and on the first 300 bills which
were struck off, the word " Manchester" was omitted,
but quite inadvertently, and the omission was inserted as
soon as discovered. Mr. Urquhart might have seen the
correction, which was posted on the walls on Tuesday
last, had he been so disposed ; or, in a neighbourly and
proper spirit, he might have called our attention to it,
when we would immediately have had it altered. His
friends could call his attention to the bill of Saturday,
which he notices the following Friday, but to the one of
Tuesday. wherein the omission is supplied, his friends do
not call his attention ; and, therefore, he does not see
and evidently has no wi-h to know it.

The charge made by Mr. Urquhart, "that J., M., and
Co. have had recourse to th's disgraceful scheme for the
purpose of injuring me to benefit themselves," we em-
phatically deny • but, if the prices at which we have been
selling this Stock have injured Mr. Urquhart, we can only
say we are sorry for it, but cannot help it. On this we
shall have to treat more fully in reply to Mr. Urquhart's
last sentence.

" On inquiry, (Mr. Urquhart says,) I find Messrs.
Jeffrey, Morrish, and Co. did buy in Manchester. from
the Assignees of Messrs. Brown, Urquhart, and Co.,
goods amounting to above £2,000, though, by the crafty
way in which Messrs. Jeffrey, Morrish, and Co. have
worded their advertisement, any one would conclude that
they had nought £6,000 worth." Now, we could ask Mr.
Urquhart the question, was it necessary that he should
(or, query, did tie ?) wake inquiry about the matter, since
one of the unfortunate Bankrupts is Mr. Urquhart's
brother ? We think you will not require Mr. Urquhart's
answer to this.

Mr. Urquhart's own " craft" alone could put his con-
struction on that part of our advertisement to which be
refers. Certainly, nothing can colivey more plainly or
distinctly our meaning than do the worts of the advertise-
ment itself, that Brown, Urquhart, and Co., of Man-
chester, had failed for £6,000, such was our information
from one of the Assignees,) and that amount for an ex-
clusive carpet retail trade is an " extraordinary failure."
But we think you will see with us, that the true object
of Mr. Urquhart's epistle is summed up in these two lines.
He says, " the only object I have in view in noticing
Messrs. Jeffrey. Morrish, and Co. is to protect my own
business from injury." In replying to this, the pith and
marrow of all, we really find no difficulty whatever. We
quite agree with him, and are sure you will agree with us
both, that, if we can buy any portion of our goods at one-
third less than Mr. Thos. Urquhart, (which is certainly
the fact in this instance,) it will not require the powers of
a philosopher to discover that his business must soon re-
quire some protection from injury. Mere assurance to
friends will avail nothing when their pockets are affected.
" No friendship in trade" is a very old motto ; nor will
professions to yourselves avail anything unless supported
by something more substantial. We cheerfully grant to
Mr. Urquhart what we claim for ourselves in these days
of sharp, but, as far as we are concerned. honourable
competition, a clear stage and no favour.

We are, Ladies and Gentlemen, with every possible
assiduity for our mutual benefits, your Servants,
JEFFERY, MORHISH, and Co.

Jgly 4, 1845

p.s.—We have not stated in our advertisement what
the amount of Stock was, but that you may not be misled
by the statement set forth with a star, at the foot of Mr.
Urquhart's notice, we give you a correct list, according
to the cost price to Messrs. Brown, Urquhart, and Co.
The whole of this Stock is in good confliction, they hav-
ing been in business only about eighteen or twenty
months, and the Goods are of better value by 71 or 10
per cent. than can now be bought, in consequence of the
advance on every description of both Linen and Woollen
Goods.

HAIR RESTORED,
ITS COLOUR PRESERVED, and BALDNESS
PREVENTED AND LEMOVED.

MRAY RES, PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY, an-
.nounces to the Medical Profession and the
Public generally, that he may be consulted in all the va-
rious changes of which the Hair iirfusceptible, and more
especially those cases arising from illness, over
study, and anxiety of mind, producing grayness, a
falling off, baldness, and sometimes its entire loss. Mr.
AYRES also desires to call especial attention to the emi-
nent success be has experienced in the prevention and
removal cf BALDNESS, and to state that he is confident of
restoring the Hair in all cases where the roots are not
completely destroyed. His mode of treatment, which has
received the highest testimonials from the press, is never
to prescribe until he has tested the Hair by analytical
examination, which secures a recipe agreeably to the
exact analysis, and which, by its nutritive, strengthening,
and alterative properties, will ensure its preservation and
and beauty to an advanced period of life. The prepara-
tions prescribed by Mr. AYRES for changing the colour
of the Hair will not, in the least degree, affect the skin,
nor occasion a red, purple, or unnatural tinge, but pro-
duce a beautifully soft and glossy appearance, and a fixed
and equal colour. The fee can be forwarded either by
postoffice order or in postage stamps, enclosing at the
same time a small piece of Hair, which, when examined,
the prescription, with every necessary information, will be
transmitted according to the direction received. Fee for
