-WATER-PROOF CLOTHING, FREE
OF EXTRA CHARGE. —Encouraged by the sly.-
cess of the NEW VENTILATING WATER-PROOF,
W. BERDOC, by whom it was first introduced, now offers
first-rate Clothing water-proofed, without extra charge, viz. :
Superior Coats, 31. 10s. ; Frocks, 41. ; Trousers, 305., &c. ;
the best Coats, 4/. ; Frocks, 4/. 10s. ; Trousers, 355., &c.
Better cannot be had at any price. W. B. also invites attention
to his New Light Water-proof Frock, which to all who are ex-
posed to the weather will prove a great acquisition. It is gen-
tlemanly, and adapted for all seasons. Eighteen months' trial
and a very large sale have fully established its merits ; as also of
the process itself, as a thoroughly efficient and unobjectionable
protection from the most drenching rain, entirely free from the
objection of confining perspiration.

THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES OF
PLATE.

CAUTION.
It having been represented to RIPPON and BURTON that
everal persons are vending a spulious metal as their NICKEL
SILVER BRITISH PLATE, they assure the Public that
the Genuine Article can only be had at their Warehouses, 12,
Wells-street,. Oxford-street.. The Nickel Silver British Plate
inanufactured by Rippon and Burton, is, by a chemical process,
',tundered superior, to any other so called, in appearance and
durability ; it is equal to silver ; all the articles being solid and
of wrought material, they improve with use, and are war-
ranted to stand the
named
of that strong acid aquafortis. The
ollowing prices are as a criterion

MR. JAMES'S NEW NOVEL.
This day is published; in 3 vols, post Bvo., price 1/.lls. Gd.,
THE KING'S HIGHWAY : a Novel.
By G. P. R. JAMES, Esq.
' -

. .
Author of " Henry of Guise," &c. &c.
-' It is not easy to find new language on every occasion to
express the pleasure we receive from this gentleman's writings,
suffice it to say, that we look forward to them as we --ere wont
to do to those of the great man whose footsteps he is following,
and never suffer a disappointment. We cannot pay him a higher
compliment; and we rejoice to say that ' The King's Highway'
will rather elevate him in, than depress him from, the rank he
has so gallantly won among the most popular authors of his age
and country."—Literary Gazette.
