portion of that period have three successive years elapsed
without considerable additions having been Mond neces-
sary for conducting the operations of their rapialy.in-
creasing trade. For so valuahie a mark of nubile pre-
ference, J , M., and Co. embrace this me-Ilium of
tendering their most grateful acknowledgemen.s, 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
distineuished patronage with which they have been so
long honoured.

Pro',ably it may be well briefly to state the system
adopt• d at COMPTON• HOUSE. which is this :—First, to
buy even% thing for prompt Cash, at the cheapest possible
rate; and, secondly, to sell preci-ely on the same terms,
having but one uniform p•ice, from which, under MI
circumstance, is the least atiatement made. 71, relative
position .f the purchaser with cash and the purchaser on
credit admits of no compari-on ; and ttiat this fact is
beginning to he practically understood by the pub i. , is
satisfactorily demonstrate:, by the past prcgress of Com
TON-House. J., M., and Co. urgently request that at
least all Housekeepers will compare the prices of goods
bought at their Establishm,nt for cash with those put..
chased elsewhere on credit, when the immense pecuniary
scarifice consequent cn the credit system will at mice
become apparent.

A great Portion of the additional area now embraced will
be devoted to ti e exttinQion of many of ti e preset,t &part-
/minis, comprising SILKS, FANCY DRESSES, RIB-
BONS, SHAWLS. and SCA It FS, of both French and
English manufacture. Neither lemur nor exrnse fas
been spared. Professional buyers for these deuartmcnts
have visited the Continentil rind British Markets, and
selected a greater profusion of rtchercherGoods than have
ever been submitted to the public taste by any retail
house in the United Kingdom.

GRAND DEMONSTRATION of

PROTESTANT FEELING in LIVERPOOL

IN OPPOSITION TO THE
Proposed Aational Grant to Maynooth.

MAGNA EST VERITAS, ET PREVALEBIT

When the noble gathering of yesterday, the proceedings
of which we are about to report, was first announced,
there were not wanting parties, opposed to Protestant

views, who were ready to scoff at the

to prophecy th

announcement, and

t the meeting would be a failure, and we

venture to say that there were not a dozen people in Li-
verpool sangu'ne enough to hope that it would so far sur-

pass in numbers, respectability, and enthusiasm, all for-
mer demonstrations of Protestant feeling in Liverpool.
Yet it did this, In all our experience of such meetings
we never saw our spacious Amphitheatre so crowded in
every pa

, with enthusiastic auditors as it was yesterday ;
and we only wish that those who sit in high places in the
land, and dare to " lay the flattering unction to their
souls," that the Protestant spirit of Liverpool, which
contributed so largely to raise them to those seats, no
longer exists to protest against their forfeiture of past pro-
fessions and abandonment of vaunted principles, had been
permitted to contemplate that vast assembly—to witness
the attentive demeanour of the faithful operatives who
filled the gallery, or the enlightened ardour which re-
sponded to the various speakers from the tradesmen, mer-
chants, and clergy, who occupied pit, boxes, and platform.
Of the numbers present throughout the meeting, we
cannot pretend to give even an approximation to correct-
ness. We may state, however, that the Amphitheatre is
calculated to hold conveniently 3000 persons ; and that
it was uncomfortably crowded from first to last, There
could not, therefore, at any time, have been less than
3500 present, and taking into consideration the numbers
who went away and whose places were immediately occu-
pied, not fewer than 5000 must have taken part in the
proceedings. In stating this, we are convinced that we
are below the mark.

We noticed the following, amongst a number of other
clergymen :—Reverends T. Tattershall, D.D., C. W.
Lawrence, W. W. Ewbank, John Jones, H. M'Neile,
