LINENS.
RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.
9IIE well-known reputation of HUGH BEN-
-NETT'S LINENS needs no remark. Mr. BENNETT has
sent his entire STOCK to BROOKS'S, in the Borough, for SALE, at
half the cost. Private families will do well to avail themselves of this
opportunity of making purchases, more particularly as no linens now
made are of an equal strength to those of this celebrated maker, who
has been established 50 years. The reductions to be made are the
following :

840 pieces of stout Irish, warranted all flax, to be sold fbr 21s. for 27
yards.

Hugh Bennett's celebrated soft bleached linen 26 yards for 305., the
real value being 2s. 3d. per yard.

Bennett's celebrated 'pinafore diapers reduced to 9d. per yard, and
fine nursery diapers at 4s. 6d. for 12 squares, lower qualities being
28,6 d. for 12 squares, all linen.

Linen sheeting, without a seam, from 4s. 6d. the pair; a large lot of
this celebrated bleach, at 12s. 6d. per pair, are three yards wide, and
worth 3s. 6d. per yard.
_

Damask tablecloths, two yards square, 2s. each ; superb damask pat-
terns, 3s. 9d., three yards long ; rich damask Cloths, 7s. each ; and
richest double damask, three yards long, 10s. 6d.

About 400 splendid double damask cloths, from four to six yards
long, are marked from 15s. to 30s. each, many having cost Mr. Ben-
nett as much as five guineas each.

A superb lot of damask table napkins, many of the dozens being a
little soiled, are wonderfully reduced, fish napkins being 2s. the dozen,
and damask at 3s. 9d. ; also, about 1,000 dozen, nearly yard square;
from 6s. to 21s. the dozen—those at 21s. being double damask, and
the finest possible quality.

Altogether this stock of linens amounts to 17,0001., and fresh bales
will be opened daily until all is sold. T. Brooks having made con.
siderable advances on the goods, no reserve will be put on them.

TESTIMONIALS.—(BY PERMISSION.)
" To Mr. Silas Bentley.
" Sir,—As to the Varnish, of which you require my opinion, I can
only say, as far as I can judge from its immediate application, I should
decide favourably. It is clear. It bears out well ; and dries well. I
have no hesitation in saying, that if the Composition in question shall
be found to possess the properties you describe, it will be a very valu-
able acquisition to Artists. "Sir MARTIN ARCHER SIIEE,
" President of the Royal Academy."

" To Mr. Silas Bentley.
" Sir,—l have had the pleasure of making trial of the Varnish you
politely sent me, and am of opinion that you have succeeded in pro,
ducing a brilliant desideratum in art.

" ABRAHAM COOPER, R.A."

" To Mr. Silas Bentley.

" Sir,—At your request I have made trials with your new colour-
less ' Porcelain-Lustre Varnish,' on divers and valuable pictures.
The result has been most completely satisfactory, in all respects. It
is certain you have discovered a process new in art. I Shall never
use any other kind of Varnish.

"ItAMSAY RICHARD REINAGLE, R.A."

" To Mr. Silas Bentley,

" Sir,—On trial, I find that your Porcelain-Lustre Varnish is as.
colourless as the Mastic Varnish, over which it possesses one very
great advantage—it does not chill, and dries well and hard.
" C. R. LESLIE, R.A."

"To Mr. Silas llcsntley

" Sir,—After a trial of six months, I find that your Porcelain-
Lustre Varnish bears out perfectly.—WlLLlAM ETTY, R.A."

" To Mr. Silas Bentley.

Sir,—Your Porcelain-Lustre Varnish will apply erfectly to plc-

tures painted In opaque colours. I have tried ioixi 'Varnish on two
oil paintings, and I like it so well that I shall continue to use it. It
appears to be greatly superior to any I know of.

EJALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, a Sure Cure
for Bad Legs, Scurvy, &c.—Read the following wonderful
account of Halse's Scorbutic Drops. It'must convince the most
sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary com-
pound of Herbs. This important letter Is sent to Mr. Raise by Mr.
W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent,
Devon :—"Brent, March ist, 1842. Dear Sir,—l consider It a duty
incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of
your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you,
that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor
suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying
but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she
continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was
no longer able to walk; her body and head were covered all over
with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite hat vanished, the erup-
tions 'would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll
herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what-
ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told me you were
eertaiu your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken
one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, sad
she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. . By the time she had taken
the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her
limbs was restored to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as
good or better than it ever was.
" I remain, dear Sir, yours respectfully,
" WILLIAM MATTHEWS."

OPINIONS OF THE PREIS&
'! We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on stir minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from
Indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.
" The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.
