WATERS Has very great pleasure to announce that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his ssr DINING ROOMS "®a have been renovated at great expense, with every regard to the convenience of his cus tomers. The LOWER SALOON is th<s most spacious and comfortable, as well as the beat ventilated Dining Room in the Pro vince ; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding. Thfire are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side offices 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 eight years i« 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 with the leading London News papers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, lippes 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 locally mairafactured 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 Confectioner, ueen-street.
