generally, that in addition to their large Wholesale business, they
have new opened those extensive and commodious Premises, Nos. 12,
and 13, NICHOLAS-LANE, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY,
as a Wholesale and Retail Establishment, for the supply of none but
genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an unprecedented
mallness of profit.
Iu consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now
imported under the name :of Tea, there never was a period when

their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths of Teas and
Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confident that nothing
is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
merit.

PAMPHLET, containing a full description of all the various sorts
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.-DRY GAS METERS,

DEFRIEs,S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Clob-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, old which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are Invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry M eter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be f rwarded by post),
