ILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive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 Folgate, 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 dura-
bility 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—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly 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 be tested, and from the daily increasing enlogiurns he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.
C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
Is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had
Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address.
PATENT PARAGON CAMPHIYE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus coadensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherchè and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

THE MONSTER BELL
FOR YORK MINSTER CASHEDRAL.
No doubt, gentle reader, you've lately heard tell
Of the size and the weight of the " York Minster Bell".
This bell, which was cast by the famed Messrs. Mears,
Is upwards of twelve tons in weight it appears ;
And eighteen strong horses are needed to draw
The " Monster," whose equal your eye never saw.
When we think of this Bell and its number of tons,
We cannot help wishing 'twere MOSES and SONS'.
For 'tis certainly suited remarkably well
To ring for that house which has long " borne the Bell."
Its sound, which is doubtless a powerful one,
Is just the right thing for E. MOSES and SON.
How loud could it speak with its ponderous clapper
Of a beautiful " Frock," or a " Vest," or a " Wrapper,"
With the rest of that choice summer dress, which discloses
The taste and the elegant fashion of MOSES.
Another fit use might be made of this Bell,
By letting it toll competition's sad " knell."
For all competition must quickly " expire"
Since MOSES and SON have provided attire.
No tradesman in Europe can ever excel
E. MOSES and SON, who have long " borne the Bell."
A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with
full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application,
or forwarded post-free.

viously obtained--this Plan makes a Policy an absolute security.

curity, for terms of yeW ars, repayable by instalments.
