TO HOTEL-KEEPERS and Others who
may be desirous of changing their situation, in conse-
quence of the complete alteration occasioned on most of the
main roads by the opening of the different lines of Railroads
throughout the Kingdom, an unusually favourable opportunity
now offers of doing so, in an eligible situation, which will emi-
nently combine the attractions of a watering-place with the
trade of a commercial port. The most liberal terms will be
offered to any desirable and responsible tenant. Full particu-
lars and terms may be had, by applying by letter, post paid,
directed to A. 8., Country Newspaper Office, No. 33, Fleet-
street, London.

SINE ARTS.—We have no doubt it will be
gratifying to those connected with the Fine Arts, to
learn that the utmost attention has been given to the manufac-
ture of DRAWING PENCILS in Cedar, by Messrs. S.
MORDAN and CO., whose excellent lead is well known in
their Patent Ever-Pointed Pencils. As they supply nothing
but the. pure Cumberland Lead, those objections so frequently
complained of are entirely removed. We have had the grati-
fication of seeing their method of manufacturing the Pencils
from the Native Lead, and can therefore vouch for its
genuineness.
