TO THE MERCHANTS AND TRADE OF
LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,
YOU will have seen Mr. Moss's remarks at the Grand
Junction General Meeting, on our letter to you of the
26th, and to the Grand Junction Directors of the 28th.
It is not suprising that no Proprietor thought prpper to
ask questions.

As Mr. Swift's opinion, as to the legality of the Company's
proceedings, has been contradicted by the Court oft Exch-
equer, probably he may not now be regarded as infallible ;
and it is likely Captain Huish has not seen the whole of the
correspondence that has passed since July last: Of course
the Company carry at low rates now—we talkuvare of that—
but what will they do when they have a mpriopoly ? exactly
what they have done with the Passengers Fires, and with the
Chester and Crewe and Chester and Birkenhead lines.
What does Mr. Moss mean by a monopoly in the hands of
private carriers ? How can that trade be a monopoly which
any one may enter and carry on? As well talk of a mono-
poly of coat-making in the hands of private tailors. The
Company seek, we are told, " the retention of the means of
obtaining and securing all their legitimate traffic, by making
the lowest remunerative charges." The English of this is—
the monopoly of the entire Carrying Trade by Railway be-
tween Liverpool and the south and west of England. While
they are fighting for it, they are driving many Goods off their
line, and doing the business they have to do at extremely low
prices ; when they have secured it, they will have all, at any
price they please.

While the contest lasts, w suffer ; when we are defeated,
and not till then, the public will feel the pressure.
The Company have a public purse, and no scruples on
their side ; we have Law on ours, a slow and tedious remedy
when so opposed, but usually efficacious in the end, and so,
with your assistance, Mr. Moss shall find it.

We are, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
PICKFORD and Co,

HODGSON'S ROOMS,
50, CHURCH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
m-R. HODGSON respectfully invites the attention of
11/11 the Public to his SPLENDID Establishment,/
50, CHURCH-STREET,
Which is allowed to be the most extensive in Liverpool, and
excelled by few in the Metropolis ; the Mart this affording
to purchasers the best opportunity of securing
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND
EUECTS

ON THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS,
As every article which domestic eomforefcan require or
wealth command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite variety.
The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for the
display of every description of Goods. In measurement the
first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by
20 feet, and the Anti-
room 70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spacious Warehouse
contiguous, which having the advantage of being on the
ground floor, are better calculated for Sales of HOUSE-
HOLD FURNITURE, Manufacturers' STOCKS, GLASS,
CHINA, &c. In addition to which, Mr. HODGSON has re-
cently built a Commodious

PICTURE GALLERY
at the rear of his Premises, Church-street, (with dome lights,
&c., essential for the proper display of HIGH CLASS
PAINTINGS,) for the reception of PICTURES and other
VALUABLE PROPERTY, thus preventing the LEAST
POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT to the MOST RARE AND COSTLY
ARTICLES entrusted ip his care.

Mr. HODGSON having facilities of procuring the best ma-
nufactured Modern Furniture, as well as other Goods, soli-
cits the attention of

FAMILIES FURNISHING,
To whom every accommodation is afforded, in the choice of
articles from the Mart, on the most advantageous terms.
His long experience in the business he submits as a guarantee
for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may
have occasion to purchase, that the practice too frequently
adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by un-
skilled artificers, is in many cases attended with an immenss
pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious loss
eventually, from inattention to the material by the manufac-
turer.

Among the Stock of
FASHIONABLE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE
will be generally found a superior description of
SUPERB DRAWING-ROOM SUITES
Of real and imitation Rosewood; comprised in Card, Loo
Work, Flower, and other Tables, Chairs, Couches, Sofas,
