The LOWER SALOON is thxs most spacious and comfortable, as well as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro vince ; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding1. There 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 is a guarantee that Ihe Bill of Faro is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY OF TUBS BASON 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 ou the arrival of each mail steamer. He, 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! j manufactured Confections, which rival those of Keiller and the best English makers.
