tribute to the prosperity of your affairs, and cordially to testify

A
Ia jesty and the Duke and Dutchess of York, does himself
the honour to announce to the Subscribers in'particular, and
0.1."; Public in general, that the Two Plates remaining to
complete this great Work are now finished, and, when printed,
will be faithfully delivered in rotation, as was the Centre
Plate. At the same time that he congratulates himself upon
their being finished within the time-agreed upon in the Pro-
posals, he must beg leave to return the Subscribers his sin-
cere Thanks for the liberal Patronage with which he has hi-
therto been favoured, and to inform them and the Public,
that upon and afttr the day Mr. Porter shall have the dis-
tinguished honour to present the Two' remaining Proofs to
His Majesty, the Royal Family, and the Hon. Dire tors of
the East-India Company, the Price of.the Three Prints,
which is now 61. 6s. will be raised to 81. Ss. the Proofs, now
rzr. I2S. will be 181. &Ss. and he conceives it necessary to
add, that an early application can alone ensure the best'im-
pressions-. Specimens of the Three may now be seen at his
House in Newport-street, where Frames and Glasses, at va-
rious Prices, are always ready.

JOHN HICKINBOTTOM respeafully informs
the Nobility and Gentry, that he has fitted.up and opened
an HOTEL, in the most fashionable style, distinguished by
the name of the BRITISH ROTE 1., No. 88, I ermyn-street,
'St'. James's : Adapted as.well for the accommodation of Fa-
milies as Single Gentlemen.
He ventures to solicit the Company of the Nobility and
Gentry; as his Charges will be moderate, and the most mi-
nute attention paid in every repel to their covenience.
HI CKINBOTTONI 'begs leave ,to return!' his grateful
thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and others, for their Patro-
nage already received in the WINE TRADE, at his House,
No. 15, Duke-street, which he continues on an extensive
Scale, as usual: and it being in his pottier to serve them
with Wines:of the first Vintage, he trusts his exertions will.‘
ensure their future favours.
LIQUORS, and every other article in the above branch ,
of superior quality.

ARCHER and HAUGHTON, from -Dublin
Irish Poplin and Tabbinet Manufacturers a:id Mercers
to Her Majesty, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales, Duke and Dutchess of Bork, Dutchess
of Wirternberg, and the Princesses, No. 8, Henrietta-street,
Covent-garden, London. ,
The elevated Patronage of .Her Majesty, the different
Branches of the Royal Family, and Ladies of the first Rank
and Fashion,• it is hoped has sufficiently established, in the
opinion of a discerning Public, the decided superiority of
Archer's and Haughton's Poplins and Tabbinets, Gold,
Sliver, Figured, and Plain Chamberry Muslins and Italian
Cambric Sarsenets for Court, Ball Dresses, Turbans, &c. to
render it unnecessary for that House to reply to the Adver—
tisements of others, whose chief pretension to the trade is the
copying of their Advertisements.
CAUTION.

Whereas Archer and Haughton have been credibly 'in-
formed, that a great many people in this kingdom are now,
and have been, for some time past, manufacturing and sel-
ling Poplins and- Tabbinets, as Irish, Ot an inferior quality,
under, the name of Archer and Haughton's ManufaCtory, with
a view to discredit and injure their Henise, and a gross impo-
sition on the Public in general ; they are derhbuned, •as• far
as lies in their power, to prosecute to Conviction any person
or persons so vending Poplins and TabbinetS' under the
name of their Manufacture, that was not aauilly bought at
their House

*** Merchants supplied to any Amount.
They have the honour. to acquaint the Nobility. and Gen-
try, that their Warehouse is stocked with a greater variety
Of Mourning Goods than is to be found in any other House in

whole being of their own manuladure :—they consist of'
white and black Bninbazeens, Cliamberry Mullins, Cambric
Sarsenets, Rastiiitiores for Widows, Annozines, dress Bar-

NEW INVENTED WATER-PROOF BOOTS and
SHOES.

E\v-Ago MOGpRIDGE, 4.4,. Ludgate.
hill, Leaden, begs leaVe to intOrm his Friends and the
Public in general, that after many Ve4rS attention and expe-
rience, hehas to offer them BOOTS and SHO ES, WATER-
PROOF, with perfed confidence of their being far superior
to any ever made. He makes the lightest dress Shoes and Boots
Water-proof, preserving the Leather soft anal pliable. He is
particularly induced to make it pUblic at tnts season of the
year,- when people of all descriptions have their health im-
paired by wet or damp in the. feet. He recommends them to
Gentlemen on shooting excursions, as no water can pene-
trate. Leather prepared in this way, has the advantage of
lasting twice as long as Leather dressed in the common way.
An article of such general utility will no doubt attract the
attention of . the Public, and induce those who nave a real
valhe for their health' to apply at his ManufaCtory, as above.
He has no connexion with any other House in London.
N. B. A large assortment of Boots and Shoes, Waterproof
and otherwise, constantly kept for the East and West In ha
Trade. Merchants and Captains liberally treated with.
