It is not their intention to enter into competition as to Priors with some advertising houses, who are at this moment addressing the Public, and tempting customers to purchase on low terms, than which nothing can be more de ceptive, because the facility with which Wines are not only reduced in quality, but mixed with inferior as well as Cape Wines, is too notorious, and must convince the most unwary, that pu•chases of this description will invariably prove dear at almost any price, especially when sold in bottles of the smallest size. The London Wine Company repeat their assurance that Cape Wines will never, ender any circ milliners, be admitted into their Cellars, zed feel confident, from the magnitude and res pectability of the patroeage already experienced, that they have only to purple the lithe of conduct they have hitherto dune, to ensure universal snlisfection. Ceittlemen, therefore favouring the Landon Wine Company with their commands, may depend upon tieing most honourably treated, and should not the %Vines, &c. give the highest satisfaction, the money will be carefully returned.
