Ilia Table he feels confident needs no recor.imer-.dation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Coinmevcial Gentlemen of the City which he has received for a period of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will -ole-asc the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY OF THE SEASON is always'to be obtained. British Magazines, IJlustra^d and Comic Jour nals, together with the lead, ag London News papers, are laid on the tableo immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. Ho, therefore, hopes with some confidence that he will, in his New 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 local?/ ---manufactured Confections, which rival those of Keiller and the best English makers. He has removed his Factory to Durham-street West, where he has fitted up all the most modern machinery of the trade. E. WATERS, Wholesale and Retail Con-fectxxner, ueen-street.
