JUFFING AND PUSHING.
Puffing and Pushing, though orthographically similar, bear no
resemblance whatever in practical meaning. Where one is warrant-
able and honourable, the other is unwarrantable and dishonourable.
The prevalence of puffing has been very justly deprecated by the
public, and has called down the anathemas of an indignant press.
The etymology of the word " puffing" is familiar to everybody; and
a child is aware that its meaning is neither more nor less than a
"bubble full of emptiness." The "speciousness" and apparent fea-
sibility of puffing have thrown a gauze over many disreputable prac-
tices ; and thousands have thus been deceived and injured to a se-
rious extent.
The validity of such a system in business IS, however, soon tested,
and its depth easily sounded.
A trial is sufficient to lay bare its superficial character, and as a
discerning public have no particular inclination for deceptions and
double-dealings, the dishonourable practices are abandoned, and their
promoters left to their deserts.
In an age of advertising like the present, it behoves the public to
use the utmost discrimination, and to weigh well the many assertions
put forth, in order to ascertain which is the mere gilt and which is
the solid metal.
That " all is not gold which glitters" is proverbial, and this axiom
is particularly applicable to those false representations and artful
blandishments in trade, the prevalence of which call so loudly for
public reprobation.
A system of pushing (which is simply a practice of public appeal)
can suffer nothing by comparison with that already considered. The
test which proves the hollowness of the one—is equally effective in
demonstrating the solidity of the other. A trial will expose the
ephemeral character of the former and the durability of the latter.
Pushing its trade is but publishing : while puffing, on the other
hand, is emphatically profession without practice—promise without
performance.
The public Having applied the gauge to Ilyam and Company's sys-
tem, have acknowledged a unanimous acquiescence in its favour,
and have evinced this in a mariner not to be mistaken.
The advertisements of L. ilyam and Co. are merely a programme
—a libretto of what is actually performed at the proprietors' esta-
blishments ; and the present Spring Stock is a further substantiation
of this assertion.
Such a stock is unquestionably the most superior which Ilyam
and Co. have had the honour of preparing during the quarter of a
century which has elapsed since their commencement.
If novelty, elegance, and durability of material, originality of de-
sign, grace, neatness, and adjustment of fit, and firmness and beauty
of workmanship, are recommendations in the tailoring trade, then,
indeed, do Hymn and Co. appear before the public in a favourable
light.
The grand Bazaar, during which there will be a convention of
countries—a congregation of kindred—has influenced all art—all in-
dustry ; and Hyam and Co. have failed not to embrace the favour
able opportunities thus afforded.
The proprietors have made the most of tile markets, and have im-
proved their purchases by engaging as their emplemploy vs the first-class
artistes and the best workmen which liberal enaelument could pro-
cure.
This is a plain and unembellished statement of facts : and Hyam
and Co. feel assured that their reputed accuracy will secure them an
audience of a candid and discerning public.

Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill positively vacates the super-
intendentship of the Deptford Dockyard, on promotion.
Captain Milne, one of tin Lords of the Admiralty, will not
succeed him, as reported ; but it is believed that the appoint-
ment will be conferred on one of the most popular captains
in the navy—an officer who is a C 8., was formerly at the
Admiralty, and has recently paid off one of the happiest ship's
companies that ever sailed under the royal pendant.
Anollo, 8. troop-sloop, Commander Rawstorne, with the
92d Regiment, arrived at Corfu on the 27th March, after a
favourable passage of 18days, from Cork; but in consequence
of a case of measles, and another of small-pox, the ship had
been put in quarantine for a week, much to the annoyance
of the troops.
Diligence store transport, Mitchell master, arrived at De-
vonport from Woolwich on Friday, took in some stores on
Saturday, and sailed on Sunday morning for Bermuda.
Magicienne new steam-sloop, at Devonport, having had
her ballast re-stowed, was again taken out to sea on Thurs-
day, in charge of Mr. Brown, master-attendant, and returned
on Friday afternoon. She is said to have answered much
better, carrying her sails and standing up more stiffly, &c. ;
but it must be recollected that it was in an easy breeze and
smooth water.

Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master-Commander
Belam, had her defects made good, was paid advance on
Saturday, and sailed from Devonport in the evening for
the Cape.
Duck lighter, Savage, master, arrived at Devonport with
stores from Woolwich on Saturday.
Woousvien, APRIL 7.—The Rattler, 6, screw steam-sloop,
of 200-horse power, Commander Arthut Cumming, arrived at
Woolwich, at two o'clock, P.M., from the Coast of Africa,
and is to be paid off at this port. having been in commission
since the 12th of February, 1849.
Lieutenant Leckie, with a part of the crew of the Penelope
steam-frigate, arrived at Woolwich on Friday last to navi-
gate the I'eazer steam-vessel to Portsmouth. She will then
accompany the Penelope to the coast of Africa, and serve as
a tender to th.t vessel. The Teazer is now barque-rigged,
her former commander, Lieutenant Selwyn, having suggested
the alteration from two to three masts to render her a
better sailer when her steam is not used.

The Birkenhead atcam troop-ship, Master-Commander
Robert Salmond, will leave Woolwich, with four companies
of Royal artillery on board, on Wednesday evening or
Thursday morniag for Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada.
The baggage of the companies arrived at the dockyard this
afternoon, and the companies are to embark on Wednesday.
The whole of the four companies assembled in heavy march-
ing order to-day on the guard mounting parade, and were
inspected by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman,
C.B , K.C.H., commandant of the garrison, accompanied by
Colonel Cruttenden, Brigade-Major Bingham, and the com-
manding officer and adjutant of the 10'1 battalion.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
REVOLVING LIGHT ON CAPE PINE, NEWFOUND
LAND.

Admiralty, March 29.
Notice is hereby given that on the Ist of January •last a
revolving light was established on Cape Pine, the southern-
most point of Newfoundland. The iron lower, which is cir-
cular, and painted with red and white bands alternately, is
56 feet high, but the light is elevated 302 feet above the sea,
and therefore, in clear weather, may be seen at the distance
of 22 miless. The light revolves so as to be visible at inter-
vals of 20 seconds or three times in every minute, and may
be seen in all directions from seaward.
The light-tower stands at the distance of 452 feet in from
the shore, and is in lat. 46 deg. 37 min. 12 sec. N., and long,
53 deg. 34 min. 5 sec. W.
Cape Pine lies 22 miles to the westward of Cape Brace,
and 10S miles S.E. by E. half E. by compass from the fixed
light on St. Pierre Island.
