HODGSON'S ROOMS,
50, CHURCH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
IUTR. HODGSON respectfully invites the attention of
IVA- 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 thus affording
to purchasers the best opportunity of securing
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND EFFECTS
ON THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS,
As every article which domestic comfort can 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

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 s 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

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
GEORGE CARLYLE, 38, Bold-street,Agent for Liverpool.
J. H. PYER, Confectioner, 32, Great Homer-street, fur
Everton and Kirkdale.
CI..k.PTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only
of Black and one of Green. The Black is a mixture of
Forty different kinds of rare Black Teas, remarkable for
their great strength, delicious flavour, and natural aroma.
This natural aroma of the Tea being completely preserved in
the Packages in which it is imported. The Green is Small
Leaf Gunpowder Tea of the finest kind, and is grown only
on one Estate.
Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China,
completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to
himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas.
Extract from Dr. Sigmond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's
Tea before the Med. Bot. Society.
" This particular Tea has been very much and very de-
servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this
Country."
(From Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late
Majesty, &c.)
" Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London.
" Sir,—Ever since your Tea was first introduced, myself
and family have used it ; indeed, only it, and we have no
hesitation in giving it the preference to all others.
"Yours, &c., " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D.
"ITo Captain Pidding."
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under
the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers,
anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone
imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own,
so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,"
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's." or some other spurious mixture.
Against such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package.
Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and
one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the
Black, at the rate of 6s. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s.
per lb. • Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter
Catty Of Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound
of the commonest Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's
directions given on each package.

THE SCHOOL is an ancient foundation, in the patronage
of the Corporation ; it has been lately rebuilt on a new
site adjoining Winckley-square, the best and most healthy
part of the town, and has been furnished with every requisite
in an elegant and commodious manner, at the expense of the
gentlemen undermentioned, some of whom have sons attend-
ing the School :

The system of education pursued is as well suited to the
wants of those parents who design their sons for commerce
and the liberal professions, as for those who intend them to
graduate at the Universities. The studies of the school
begin with prayer, and the reading and explanation of the
Holy Scriptures form a portion of the daily duties. Instruc-
tion is given in the Greek and Latin Classics, English Lite-
rature and Composition, History, Geography, Writing,
Arithmetic, and Mathematics. The French Language and
Mechanical and Architectural Drawing are taught as part of
the system, without any extra charge, to all the scholars,
as they become sufficiently advance for the respective
masters.

Students are constantly proceeding to the Universities,
and are prepared for their College Lectures and Degree Exa-
minations by a direct course of Classical and Mathematical
Reading. Per Annum.
