WATERS Has A-ery great pleasure to announce that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his jt_- DINING ROOMS ~m have been renovated at great expense, with every regard to the convenience of his cus tomers. „ _. The LOWER SALOON is tho 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. There are „„,_ SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES alsoup-stalrs, to which are attached side offices provided Avith 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 is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY OF THE SKASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines,lllustra ,o.dand Comic Jour nals, together Avith the lead. _g London News papers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes with some confidence, that he AA-ill, 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 draAV the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to his locally manufactured Confections, which rival those of Keiller and the best English makers. He has removed his Factory to Durham-street West, Avhere he has fitted up all the most modern machinery of the trade. E. WATERS, Wholesale and Retail Confectioner, ueen-street.
