USEFUL INTELLIGhNCE.—How to obtain Si-
tuations is the question now earnestly, and, alas !
almost despairingly. asked by hundreds, nay thousands, who ars
idle, not from choice, but hard necessity. To many of these we
would suggest, that one of the most useful requisites (and for want
of which many an opportunity of being permanently and eligibly
settled have been lost), for almost every situation, is the writing a
good and expeditious hand.
To all such as may labour under a deficiency on this head,
LEWIS, No. 104, High Holborn, engages, in a few easy Lessons,
on to improve the very worst HAND-WRITING, as to fit the
person for any situation whatever, as far as writing goes,
LEWIS also teaches SHORT-HAND In the completest man-

B LAST-BUT TWO,

BISM respectfully acquaints his best Friends, the
• Public, that the New Somme, which has been advertised
N: length, is inevitably the last but two that can be submitted to the
Public, as Parliament has decreed that, nt the expiration of that
period they shall for ever cease. T. Rish therefore advises those
peeves who wish for an opportunity of gaining a large Sum for a
small risk, to love to time, as it is more than probable, as the end
atiprosches. Tickets will get scarce and much higher in price,
without any increased chance of success. The main points of the
New Scheme are--it womerwen

useful article was well known to, and much approved by, the late
Sir Joseph Banks. It may be applied with equal advantage to

purpose in either case.
