ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION,
LONGBOTTOM'S PHYSIOSCOPE exhibits the human face
with its varied expressions, on a gigantic scale; curiously contrasted
with the living man. The OPAQUE MICROSCOPE magnifies ef-
fectively a succession of WORKS of the FINE ARTS ; also casts of
INSCRIPTIONS, taken by Miss Wilson from the WALLS of the
TOWER of LONDON, cut by Lord Guiltbrd Dudley and other State
Prisoners. Arrangements have been made for Dr. EVAN to deliver
VARIED LECTURES on the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday ; and Professor BACIIHOFFNER on Tuesday and Thursday

PRESERVES AND CONFECTIONERY.
The superiority of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, for Pre-
serves and Confectionery, is testified by the fact that it is preferred to
any other spirit by the most extensive Wholesale Confectioners in
the Metropolis ; for fortifying home-made wines it is invaluable ; as
an ordinary beverage it is congenial to the most delicate constitutions;
and, as a medical stimulant, it is peculiarly adapted to persons of
bilious or dyspeptic habits. Quantities of not less than Two Gallons,
supplied at the Distillery, 7. Smithfield-bars, in Stone Jars, at Ns. per
Gallon, exclusive of the price of the Jar; and in Glass Bottles, at 20s.
per Gallon, Bottles and Case included.

Consumers of Brandy are respectfully informed that J. T. BETTS,
Jun., and Co., will not be responsible for any Bottled Brandy that is
not protected against fraudulent substitution, by the Patent Metallic
Capsules, made of pure and solid metal (not tin-foil), embossed with
the words " Betts's Patent Brandy, 7, Smithfield-bars," to which at-
tention is especially directed.

Profession to their recently-invented HAIR-LINE POINTED PENS.
These Pens, in the manufacture of which great care has been
bestowed, are produced under the superintendence of Messrs. R..and

public. The points are so fine, that the up-stroke is hardly per-
ceptible, while the metal is of that flexible nature, and the whole
finish so perfect, that a clear down-stroke is insured. ' The Hair-
line Pointed Pens are divided Into three classes, Broad; Medium, and
Fine Points, and in ordering them, care will be necessary that they
are distinctly named. They arc sold in Boxes of a Gross each at 55.,
or One Dozen, mounted on a Card with a neat holder, at Is.
