WAT ER S i Has very great pleasure to announce that since ; his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his srs- DINING ROOMS "3& ; have been renovated at great expense, with ! every regard to the convenience of his cus i tomers. The LOWER SALOON ! is the most spacious and comfortable, as well i as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro i vince; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra i room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding. There are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side of'lces I provided with ablutionary and other conven ! iences. His 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 i eight years i« a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will please the most fastidious. ! EVERY DELICACY OF TUB SBASON I 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 i the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, ' hopes with some confidence that he will, in his New Premises, continue to reseive 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 locally ■ manufactured Confections, which rival those of I Keillor and the best English makers. He has removed his Factory to Durham street West, where he has fitted yip all the most modern machinery of the trade. | E. WATERS, j Wholesale and Retail Confectioner, QUEEN-STREET.
