THE OLD YEAR and the NEW YEAR.
Time flies apace—another year hath perished—
Perished and joined th' irrevocable past ;
Hopes, in its progress, brightly born and cherished,
Have been by shade o'ercast ;
And sorrows that seemed evils to our sight
Have " turned their silver linings to the light."—DELTA.

The event which stands out in the boldest relief with reference to
the past year, is undoubtedly that which called together the various
tribes of the civilized world.
" Each with his native handiwork and busy tongue."
This grand convention of the world's artificers caused the capital
of Great Britain to become a centerpoint of attraction, and the tri-
umphant results which attended this memorable Congress, will not
soon be obliterated from the memory of the many who were specula-
tors of the grand display.
It is not, however, the province of tradesmen to take discursive
views of a year's occurrences, except in connexion with their own
immediate speculations. It is a generally received opinion, that the
Great Exhibition produced effects in trade contrary to those naturally
anticipated ; nor can it be denied that this is true, to a certain ex-
tent, in certain quarters.
But, whoever may have to complain of a year of disappoint-
ments, it is demonstrable, from positive fact, that HYA3I and CO.
are exceptions in this respect. While the money market unsteadily
fluctuated—while trading speculation seemed, for a time, stagnant
money was diverted from purchase to pleasure—and while
a generaland c.r disappointment and complaint were prevalent—llYAM

resolved that the year 1952 shall be distinguished by advantages in
their trade surpassing those of ally previous year.
•
The successes of 1851 will be reproductive in 1852, to the essential
benefit of the public.
By an advantageous availment of the markets—by a judicious and
liberal expenditure of capital—by a progression, in opposition to a
retrogression in artistic improvement—by an adherence to refined
taste in all articles of dress—by an employmeet of the best foreign
and native skill in manufacture—by an equalization of interests of
the buyer and seller, and by every other possible recommendation in
business, do 11YA3I and CO. resolve to distinguish themselves
during the year which has nuw dawned, and with this assurance
they beg to conclude, • wishing their thousandfold supporters " a
happy new year."
