THE TIMES.

AMORE important period than the present for
purchasing unquestionably EXCELLENT, USEFUL,
AND SUPERIOR GENERAL DRAPERY has never occurred
arising from the peculiar juncture of those powerful agencies
which have had the most alarming, general, and distressing in-
fluence upon commercial operations.
PUBLIC CALAMITIES,
or the causes that check the tide of national prosperity and
Der tepo
happiness, are not grateful subjects u n-whiClitallwell ; but it
must be a matter of deep re all possessed of enlarged and
benevolent views to wit the disastrous consequences re-
sulting from
themselves in

RAILWAY DIFFICULTIES,
which paralyze the manufacturing energies of the country, and
leave yet untold many a fearful tale of deplorable and utter
ruin. Casualties against which human sagacity affords no pro-
tection, such as the present

MONETARY EMBARRASSMENTS,
together with the almost unexampled duration of
MILD AND UNSEASONABLE WEATHER,
have caused large Stocks of Winter Goods to remain on hand
which, in order to prevent further depreciation in value, must
be cleared off at such prices as must induce purchases, not only

for present, but
ANTICIPATED NECESSITIES.

To many unconnected with Trade this may be difficult of
comprehension : to the man of business it is too painfully

intelligible.
JO H N BRISCOE,
60 & 62, OLDHALL-STREET,

has secured several extensive Lots of Goods that have been
recklessly thrown into the London markets by various Manu-

facturers, alarmed at the late
POLITICAL CRISISO

and which are now offered for sale at prices that bear no rela-
tion to real value. A quotation of Prices, it is to be regretted,
as used by the mass of advertisers, is generally fallacious, but
the following brief enumeration will furnish a slight medium by
which to judge of the advantages and general character of the

Goods now offered :
