cally purified material has been before it (made into every usefUl and
ornamental article usually made is silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability el silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and ether so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

litlE LORD MAYOR'S DINNER.
The recent dinkier given by the Mayor
Seems to have been a very line affair.
The papers tell us it was very splendid,
And that the Mansion-house was well attended.
'The dresses of the ladles did their duty
In giving to the scene an extra beauty;
Nor can we justly pass unnotic'd by
The lords and gentlemen that met the eye.
The dresses these distinguished persons wore
Were such as never were design'd before.
MOSES and 'ION, by this display of art,
Have gain'd fresh laurels for their princely Mart ;
The beauteous styles of which unequall'd stand
In England, or in any other land.
Reader, we wish sincerely you'd been there,
Not only to base toasted to the Mayor.
But to have seen what all must much admire,
IT_ MOSES and SON'S display of choice attire.
