PATENT ENCAUSTIC PAVING TILES,
FOR TESSELATED FLOORING, AFTER THE
ANCIENT ROMAN MOSAIC TESSERIE.
THE Public are respectfully requested to inspect Pat-
terns of these TILES at the office for the Patentees,
C. B. YARROW,
35, WATER-STREET.
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 Tiles 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 Carpetin

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.
3. 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 years, 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., ls., 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 ls. each, the latter sufficient
to make a wine bottle full of ink.

Pens, and at the Manufactory, 37, Red Lion-squar

COFFEE REDUCED 2D. PER POUND

AT
HOLLIS, WALFORD, AND COMPANY'S.
GOVERNMENT 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 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 to jus-
tify 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 1
1355. per cwt.
i
market at the present time is realizing
Add for duty, expense of
ofroasting, and} 463. „
loss 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 Is. 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 man-
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 :
Fine old East India . .
