LAMPS AND CHANDELIERS.

MI L. HAUSBURG, 24, CHURCH-STREET.
•
F. L. H., with the view of curtailing some of the Branches of
his Business, has decided upon disposing of his Stock of
CHANDELIERS FOR GAS, OIL, &c.,
and begs to inform his Friends and the Public, that the Stock has
not only been completely reassorted, but the whole of the prices
have been very considerably reduced, thereby offering every pos-
sible inducement to giye him the preference in selection. Articles
of the best manufacture have been marked at prices so low, that
those of the most inferior description could not be purchased at
the same rate, even by wholesale. F. L. H. would refer to the
following, namely :
Three-light Gas Chandelier, to slide, without fittings 10s.
Three-light Ditto, with Globes, Burners, Length- }
.e 2 55.
ening Rod, Socket, and Ball, fixed complete
Very pretty Chandeliers, for Drawing-rooms, fitted with }£3 Os.
Glass Drops
A full and complete Stock of METAL and GLASS CHANDE-
LIERS, LAMPS. for the Hall, Vestibule, &c., BRACKETS, GAS
PILLARS, and STAIRCASE LIGHTS, comprising every novelty
of design and style.
Every description of Gas Fittings made to order, and Lamps,
Chandeliers. &c., Rebronzed and Relacquered, by first-rate work-
men, upon the premises.
AUREOLE LAMPS.

The arrivals for the Season have just been received, combining
every variety, from the Plainest to the most Ornamental, and all
at the most moderate prices, namely :
Complete, with the best mechanism and all the latest improve-
ments, with Globe, Chimney, and Cottons,
At 155., 18s. 6d., 255., 285., to each.
Every description of
LAMPS, FOR OIL AND CANDLES,

FOR SHIP USE AND DOMESTIC PURPOSES.
A large Stock of
PURE COLZA OIL,
IMPORTED DIRECT FROM THE CONTINENT,

kept entirely for the accommodation of F. L. H.'s customers, as
pure, unadulterated Oil cannot be obtained in the English market.
The Aur4oleLamp having entirely. superseded the Solar Lamp in
England, F. L. H. offers his remaining Stock of

SOLAR LAMPS
to Exporters to the Colonies, Szc., where the coarser descriptions
of Oil only can be obtained. The Lamps will be offered
IN LOTS, FOR SHIPMENT, CONSIDERABLY BELOW
THE ACTUAL COST,

and all the Fittings which may be required, at Wholesale Cost
Prices.
F. L. H. takes the opportunity of stating,. that those Persons
who may hitherto have been deterred from visiting his Establish-
ment, by its great extent and the valuable Collection-of Goods,
are not aware that, by overcoming this impression (in reality a
prejudice), the result would he most advantageous to them, as
they would find that they could purchase Articles of a better qua-
lity, and at Lower Prices, than at any other Establishment. He
considers it almost superfluous to add, that, whether they make
purchases or otherwise, they will, in every case, be received with
politeness and attention.

A CURIOUS INCIDENT CONNECTED WITH THE LATE
EXCITEMENT IN SUGAR.—Some ten days since, it was re-
ported that part of a cargo of Barbadoes sugar put up to
auction in Cork had realized an average of 745, per cwt., duty
paid. It created no small conversation, both here and in
London, for at the time the sugar could have been purchased
in either of those markets for 10s. per cwt. less. It now turns
out that the sale did actually take place, but under the following
amusing circumstances ; at least we have the information from
an undeniable authority, and we think the sequel will
go far to prove the accuracy of it. Half an hour before
the time the sale was advertised to come off, a telegraph
was received in Cork from London, stating the position
of the Tallow market, and that there was much excite-
ment at 675. 6d. per cwt. for Spring delivery. Unfortunately
for the buyers, it happened that the paragraph was inserted
after the word Sugar instead of Tallow, and away they
went ding, dong, thinking that prices were going up to 100 s. !
indeed we are informed that there was a regular scramble.
The London market had risen ss. in the course of the day,
and why should not the Cork market advance ] Os.? The
retail price was immediately put up ld. per lb.; but next
morning, on receipt of their English letters, they found out
the delusion they had been labouring under, and, we hear,
have reduced the price to the former stndard. Verily this
reminds us of the old proverb—" Most haste, less speed."
CONCERT AT ST. GEORGE'S HALL—We understand a
very attractive concert is to take place in St. George's Great
Hall, on Friday next. The concert is to be given by the
young Spanish pianiste, Mademoiselle D' Herbil, of whom we
have heard no small commendation. She is quite a child, not
seven years' old ; yet, if we are to believe the reports of those
competent to form an opinion, she possesses much natural
talent and great facility of execution. The programme is a
highly pleasing one, and the various executants who will
appear give promise of a rich musical treat. The only name
new to us is that of Madame Bernardi, a Spanish vocalist of
eminence. The concert, which will be principally instru-
mental, will afford several local professors of standing an
opportunity of testing the Hall for the first time. Messrs.
Baetens, Lidel, and W. S. Rogers will introduce a string trio,
besides, in all probability, some solos. Mr. Streather's harp
cannot fail to delight as it has ever done ; and the noble organ,
in the hands of Mr. Best, will discourse most excellent music.
