The LQWER gALOON is the most spacious and comfortable, as well as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro vince ; and Up-stairs he has furnished an e:ctrn. room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding. There are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side offices provided with ablutionary and other conven iences. Hi 3 Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City which he has received for a period of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Faro is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY; OF THE SEASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustrated and Comic Jour nals, together with the leading London News papers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes with sorrie confidence that he will, in hjs Xew Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been accorded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to his locaOy mairafactured Confectioas, which rival those of Keillerand the best English makers. lie has removed his Factory to Durham-street West, where he has fitted up all the most modern machinery cf the trade.
