WATERS Has A-ery great pleasure to announce that since his remoA-al into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his __- DINING ROOMS ~S haAre been renoA-ated at great expense, with CA rery regard to the convenience of his cus tomers. The LOWER SALOON is the most spacious and comfortable, as Avell as the best A Tentilated Dining Room in the Pro vince ; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to preA-ent over crowding. There are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side offices provided Avith ablutionary and other copA7en- lences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City Avhich he has receiA-ed 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 SEASON is always to be obtained. ' British Magazines, Illustrated and Comic Jour nals, together Avith the leading London News papers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes Avith some confidence that he AVill, in his New Premises, continue to reueive the large share of patronage which has been accorded to him in the past. E. W. Avishes also to draw the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to his locally manufactured Confections, which riA-al 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, queen-street. pi RE V RIV E R COA L.
