_TAMES ANDERSON, Proprietor and Occupier
xr of "ANDERSON'S HOTEL," Nairn, takes leave to an-
nounce that these large and commodious premises have very re-
cently undergone various important improvements and altera-
tions, by which such additior al accommodation hasbeen obtained,
as to render the establishment amply suited for the comfortable
'reception of the increasing number of visitors to the North.
The Hotel contains several Public and Sitting Rooms,
nu-
merous Bed-rooms—all newly and tastefully painted and pa-
Pered, fitted up with ges, and otherwise arranged in a comfort..
able and handsome manner. Attached to the Hotel are excel-
lent Stables, also fitted up with gas, to which considerable ad-
ditions have lately been made, with lock-up Coach-houses.
.1. A. having spared no expense in rendering the comforts at-
tendanton a residence in the Hotel worthy of public patronage,
11 happy-to say that the House is frequented by some of the best
faxailies from all parts of the country, is well known to many
Noblemen and Gentlemen visiting the North, and is also pa-
tronhea • y
, all Commercial Gentlemen who travel on the road.
TO the Posting Department, Chaises and Gigs are always to be
I'4ll On the shorte,t notice.
The town of Nairn, at all times possessing advantages as a
vatering place, has now become more celebrated as such, on
account of its SALT-WATER BATHS.
This establishment, affording Cold, Tepid, Warm, and
Shower Sea-water Bathing, is universally allowed to be un-
equalled in the North of Scotland.
The salubrity of the climate is remarkable—and the town and
surrounding country particularly agreeable. illail and stage
coaches from Aberdeen and Inverness arrive and depart daily.
Various interest ing objects, such as Fort George, Cawdor Castle,
and Culloden Muir, are within short distances of the town, and
the district is most inviting to those engaged in Ge3logical and
Other scientific pursuits. In short, to Invalids, Families, or
ourists desirous of spending some time on the sea-coast, Nairn,
provided as it is with an Hotel and Baths of the above descrip-
tion, will be found to possess advantages not to be surpassed in
the northern section of the kingdom.

STARCIL—BROWN and PO LSON beg to in-
vite the attention of laundresses a nd the public to their
PATENT POWDER STARCH, unequalled for strength,
colour, and purity. It gives a fine ann. glossy finish, does not
stick to the iron, and requires no boiling-- The annexed certi-
ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfi., will prove that it is
free of potatoe, and contains no deletericias ingredient.
‘.I hereby certify that I have submitti d to chemical investi-
gation the starch manufactured by :Mesta s. Brown and Pelson,
of Paisley, and that I have found it to b e a pure article, conse-
quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously
even on the finest fabric. From trials .:onducted with it under
my own superintendence, I have foun d that in starching it
goes farther than the best kinds of pan sit starch, that it gives
an equally fine finish, and that articles stard.ed with it are not
liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of
manufacturing the starch in all its stz,iges, f am satisfied that
potatoe flour is not used in its nianufac•twe.

LONDON:
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 30, 1842.

It is perhaps indicative of improvement—we hope-it
is—to find persons in various stations of life at present
directing their attention to describing the condition of
the working classes. Never before, we believe, did
their condition require and 'emit-a more attention than
at present ; never, perhaps, judging from the concur-
rent testimony of different parties, was it worse than at
present. For several years it has engaged the serious
consideration of the Legislature. Corn-laws and Poor-
laws, Police Acts and school grants, votes of money to
build churches and establish new systems of prison
discipline, have all been framed with a view,
according to the Legislature, to improve the
condition of the working classes. The palpa-
ble and certain result is extreme degradation of tho
working-classes. They seem to have continually gone
from bad to worse, as our Legislature has established
fine Frenchified schemes of centralization of police, and
of regulating all their amusements, till the once inde-
pendent peasant of England, under whose tread the earth
resounded, has become a mean, starved, and shrivelled
slave ; and the stalwart artizan, who was some check on
both the baronial landlords and on the burgher capitalists
has become a poor shivering wretch, dwelling in caves
or cellars, like some of the earliest known races of men
Re is so dependent fur subsistence, that, like a dog, he
licks the hand that corrects him, while it holds forth a
miserable crust. Let us quote a specimen or two, %%ilia,
taken from different source*, may serve to show both the
condition of the working-classes and the attention which
is now, prompted by necessity. devoted to them
We have of late heard o.te party assert that agrlt ul-
tural labourers get only 7s. a melt, and others that they
gain 145., but here are some sp, cimens of their condition
CA traded from the Report of tho P wr-law Ccmmis-
sioners on the sanatory condition of the labouring popu-
lation of Great Britain, a perfectly impartkl authority,
which must set at rest all disputes as to their wages. It
may with safety be asserted, when we find the bulk of
the population sunk in wretchedtkss, that it is because
they cannot help themselves. Wages are good or bad,
not in proportion to the number of shillings they amount
to, but in proportion to the amount of comfort they com-
mand; and consequently an accurate description of com-
mon comforts of labourers' cottages, is a far better clue
to the value of his wages than the number of shillings of

in
