OYAL PATENT STOVE DEPOT,
No. 58, King William-street, London Bridge.
AIL)
PATENT PORTABLE STOVES, in full action in five
minutes. For conservatories, hot and green houses, harness-
rooms, coach-houses, pantries, store-rooms. shops, and all
places requiring warmth, or where damp is to be removed or
prevented ; also adapted for carriages, gigs, coach-boxes, &c.
Ste., to burn from six to twenty-four hours, without any care
or trouble whatever. Also sizes particularly suitable for wine
cellars, warehouses, halls, passages, and all other places where
economy and regularity of heat is required, burning from
twelve to twenty-four hours without attendance. Cost of coke
for that period from 2d. to 3d. only.
The PATENT TUBULAR STOVE for warming churches,
chapels, public buildings, banks, insurance offices club houses,
halls, lobbies, shops, Ere., decidedly the best and most perfect
stove ever invented, as well as the most convenient. At
the cost of one farthing an hour for fuel t for a stove sufficiently
large to warm a church, capable of holding 2,000 people,)
the fire (which is self-feeding) may be kept up without cessa-
tion for any period, requiring attention only once in twenty-
four hours. The quantity of pure warm air, at a mild summer
temperature, which, from the extent of radiating surfaces,
is equal to that supplied by three stoves of the ordinary con-
struction, is diffused se regularly throughout the building, as
to obviate the necessity of burning or over-heating the air, and
rendering it noxious and unhealthy. The heat may be regu-
lated at pleasure ; no sparks can escape, so that accidents by
fire are almost impossible. The chimney requires no sweep-
ing; and the elegance and beauty of designs are such, as to
please the most fastidious taste.
The Stoves may be seen in constant operation, and pro-
spectuses and drawings as above.

THE SPEAKER'S LEVEE.—The Speaker of the
House of Commons will hold his first levee, at his residence :n

MR. BURKE'S NEW PEERAGE AND BARG..
NETAGE.—A new edition of this splendid volume for the year
1810, containing all the new creations, has just been published
by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-s'reet. "After a very
long and laborious revision," says the aethor in his preface,
" amounting to the recomposition of a great portion, and the
emendation of Ow whole, this sixth edition of the Peerage ; nd
Baronetage is now offered to the public. To judge by the
anxiety evinced for the appearance of the work, it is now become
one of importance and general interest—the most flattering
condition which the labou of a literary man could attain, and
one vthick if he did not strain every faculty to preserve be would
be unworthy to enjoy. That such an effort has been made
strenuously, the enlarged size of the book—the great mass of
matter it comprises—the numerous families it includes, embrac-
ing the whole privileged and titled orders, with their wide-
spreading connexions, generation after generation—will, it is
hoped, sufficiently attest." Mr. Burke's work, comprising, as
it does, matter nearly equal to thirty ordinary volumes, with
upwards of 1,500 engravings of arms, &c., must certainly be
looked upon as one of the most complete, the most convenient,
and cheapest works of the kind that have ever appeared.
Tuesday, the 18th inst., being the anniversary
of the birth-day of the Marquis of Douglas, was as usual ob-
served at Hamilton by the ringing of the town bells, and the
discharge of cannon at the palace. His Lordship having en-
tered his thirtieth year, a like number of shots was fired, fol-
lowed by a general volley from seven cannon; but what was
still more interesting to the poorer classes of Hamilton,
Strathaven, and some of the neighbouring parishes, his Lord-
ship, with that kindnet4 of disposition which has always dis-
tinguished him, caused a donation of two hundred and twenty
carts of coals to be distributed on the occasion amongst them,
which will prove a most acceptable act of charity at this incle-
ment season of the year, to many a poor family. Although no
public entertainment was given, on account of his Lordship's
absence, some private parties of gentlemen met at home to
drink his health and long life and prosperity to him. They
spent the evening in the most joyous and agreeable manner.—
