WILKINSON'S ANTI.- CORROSION
PAINT.

. .
REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside.
J. It. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to
the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbe wish to paint their
houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
tive to damp or rea spray in exposed situations ; it will not
blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
common paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves..
sell, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
wark.bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
ether colour miry be imposed upon them for his. A liberal
allowance to the trade. .

ADHESIVE STA m ps,Pera using usng these
stamps will do well also to write " paid" on the letter, under-
neath the stamp. Then, should the stamp be rubbed off either
by acci3cnt or fraud, the word " paid" roust thereby be un-
veiled, and the receiver of such letter would, of course, resist
any charge for postage.
Mr. Edward Howard, private Secretary to Lord
John Russell, presided at the grand dinner given by the Noble
L,rd at the Clarendon, on Monday, to a party of 20, in honour
of her Majesty's birthday. The Hon. Col. Anson occupied the
Vice-Chair. Lord John was, however, present, and sat on
the right of the Chairman.

GRAND MILITARY DEMONSTRA
MIL TT CHATHAM.

On Monday, in honour of her Most Gracious Majesty's
birthday, Chatham was the scene of one of the most inte-
resting military demonstrations that have. for a long time
taken place.
The whole of the troops in the garrison,
including, with those of the line, a fine force of that distin-
guished corps the Marines, were drawn out, and manned
the noble fortification which renders Chatham so complete
a specimen of modern military engineering. All the evo-
lutions attendant upon the defence of a besieged fort were
exhibited. Nothing could be mere picturesque than the
spectacle which the troops afforded, ranged as they were
along the imposing line of fortifications, diversified with
every species
of elevation and erection, and when tbe ar-
tillery on the battlements were fired, and from one extre-
mity of the line to the other continuous and connected vol-
lies of musketry flashed from height, to height, proceeding
with the utmost regularity, and without a moment's inter.
ruption between the furthest points, the scene exhibited all
the excitement and all the activity of a siege. After the
firing was concluded the assembled troops gave three hearty
cheers for her Majesty, which were heartily responded to
by the thousands present. The troops then maarcmhdi Col.r
marched to
the line, and under the inspection of Col. Warne
Murton, of the Marines, performed a variety f and
evolutions. The artillery, we may state, were fired
by
many Waterloo veterans.
