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, the 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 ma'.-.e 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.

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 durabiliity.

originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found in
convenient a further reduction will be mad., in the price. The
tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled,
consequently-the reduction must be immense. Some superb
daa)..sk cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d.
each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from
Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six
