SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALBATA
PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON-FOL-
GATE, aided by a person of science in the amalgamation of metals,
has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article
ever yet offered; possessing all the richness.of Silver in appearance
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in
use—undergoing, as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is
nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted-4esisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article ibr

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal is pecu-
liarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold, than
his metal is from•all others ; on its intrinsic merit alone he wishes It
to he tested, and from the daily increasing enlogimus he receives, lie
is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an article of uni-
versal wear.

The support of this hospital materially depends i
upon benefactions and bequests. As that part of i:s
income which is permanent is far short of maintain-
ing
the usual number of children, whose education
qualifies them for the Church,, the naval service, arid
for every station in life, according to their abilities;
and as the principles of religion, as well as the due or-
der
of civil society, are points to which their attention
is constantly directed, it is hoped that all charitable
persons will readily contribute to an institution, which
is not only of local, but of national good.
The expense of repairing and keeping up the
buildings of this hospital (many of which were very
ancient, and originally formed part of the old Grey
Friars's Monastery) having . been found to be ex-
tremely burdensome, a fund was established in 1802,
by subscription of the Governors and other friends of
the hospital, with a view to the gradual and complete
rebuilding of the whole fabric ; and a great part has '
accordingly been restored in a most commodious and
substantial manner, without reducing the number of
children upon the establishment during the progress
of the works. Much, however, yet remains to be
done; and the Governors regret to state, that the i
fund originally subscribed is completely exhausted, 1
and a very considerable sum has been expended from 1
the general funds of the charity ; but they are willing
to hope that the generosity of the public will afford
the means of completing this great .work, and pre-
vent the necessity of encroaching further upon the
permanent income of the hospital, and thereby di-
minishing the scope of its usefulness.
