THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE
have induced JOHN JAMES RIPPON, Ironmonger, of
Wells-street, Oxford-street, to MANUFACTURE a SUBSTI-
TUTE for SILVER, possessing all its advantages in point of
appearance and durability, at less than one-tenth the cost. His
-uttITISII PLATE is of such a superior quality that it requires
the strictest scrutiny to distinguish it from Silver, than which it is
It °tea durable, every article being made of solid wrought material.
~` ins proves with use, and is warranted to stand the test of the
strongest of acids, aqua fortis. The following is a sample of the
Prices ; but purchasers are recommended to apply, post paid, for a
Catalogue, which can be forwarded for a single postage:-

CAUTION.-In consequence of the objections so justly urged
against the article called German Silver, the Manufacturers of that
metal are now calling it British Plate, although the materials re-
main unchanged. The British Plate manufactured by John James
Von undergoes a Chemical Process, by which it is rendered pure
¢n'llperior to any other so sailed.

t:,, 36i OLD BOND-STREET (nearly opposite the western
.I,4c:flange), whose recently invented and highly approved SPEC-
-4:I4CLES may be adapted to the various circumstances of indivi-
, eases appertaining to defective •ision. Whilst these Specta-
es.
, excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro-
Port}- , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad-
l'aetage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same
time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as
tender vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool-
ties, and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally impor-
tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes
of common glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec-
tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect-
ing and stiingthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most
decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their
I,eperior efficacy is attested by the following eminent professors, who

laii'h Your Balm and after using two bottles the effects were most sur-
