GOLD WATCHES.

J. DENT, by Special Appointment, Chrono-
F 4, meter and Watchmaker to the Queen and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, offers an extensive assortment of
HORIZONTAL WATCHES at 10/. 10s. each. From their
great advantages over those of the vertical description in per-
formance, appearance, and flatness, he recommends them for
Ladies' or Gentlemen's wear. They have elegant engraved
or plain gold dials and cases; and the movements are jewelled
in four holes, and the performance guaranteed. An abstract
from Mr. Dent's Lectures on the Construction and Manage-
ment of Chronometer Watches and Clocks,
.may be had gra-
tuitously by customers, or to the public price Is.-82. Strand.

ACCOUNTANT.

MR. FOSTER has instructions to submit for

tised for Auction on the Premises, CORNER of FLEET-
STREET and FARRINGDON-STREET, trading under
the firm of HEBBLEWHJTE and CO., notice having been
given that an auction is not permitted by the lease.
Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods,
begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to
realise more than half the original cost, tLe object being to clear
the whole off the premises, and any portion remaining must of
necessity be removed to his Auction-rooms. Ladies are soli-
cited to make allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants,
being mostly young men from his office, consequently unused
to this method of selling goods over the counter.
The following is about the reductions intended to be made.

some warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0
The sheetings and table-linen require particular notice. The
respectable family trade carried en for thirty years at the esta-
blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but fine and war-
ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the
chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durahiliity.
Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the
length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at 10s. 6d.
being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having
originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found in
convenient a further reduction will be mads in the price. The
tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled,
consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb
damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d.

may depend that every article will fully answer the description

houses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying
in large quantities, no obstacle wal exist in the way of price ;
also a liberal discount will be •allowed off the bill when it ex-
