WATERS Has very great pleasure to announce that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his m DINING ROOMS "W have been renovated at great expense, with eA-ery regard to the convenience of his cus tomers. The LOWER SALOON is th _ most spacious and comfortable, as well as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro- A-ince; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over croAvding. There are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which a,re attached side offices provided with ahlutionary and other conven iences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City Avhich he has received for a period of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare 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 Avith the leading London News papers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes with some confidence that he will, in his Neat Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage Avhich has been accorded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw the attention cf. Merchants and Storekeepers to his locally manufactured Confections, Avhich rival those of Keiller and the best English makers. He has removed his Factory to Durham street West, where he lias fitted up all the most modern machinery of the trade. E. WATERS, Wholesale and Retail Confectioner, ueen-street.
