W AT E R S Has very great pleasure to announce that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his tzr DINING ROOMS "53a havo been renovated at great expense, with every regard to the convenience of his ous tomers. The LOWER SALOON is the 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 crowding. 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 Copimercial Gentlemen of the City which he ha 3 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 SEASON! is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustrated and Comic Journals, together with the leading London Newspapers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, there fore- hopes with some confidence that the will, in his New Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been ac corded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw 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 Wes where he has fitted up all the most modern machiner of the trade. . E. WATERS, Wholesale and Retail Confectioner auckland.
