ECONOMY AND CONVENIENCE COMBINED.

VVILLIS'S PATENT PERIPURIST, or
Portable Economical Cooking Apparatus, enables any
person in a few minutes to prepare a comfortable meaI—BREAK.
FAST, as it prepares coffee in a very superior manner, boils
Eggs, end cooks a beef-steak or a slice of ham, and all in less than
ten minutes. For Dinner it will prepare soup, steam potatoes,
and cook a mutton chop or stake, &c. at the same time, and for
this one FARTHING'S-WORTH of FUEL is more than suffi-
cient, and the operation may be performed upon a dining table
without soiling the cloth or producing smoke or unpleasant smell,
and travelling in a Carriage without danger or inconvenience, and
for pedestrians it may be carried in the hand, and in cold weather
answer two purposes, for Tea, it answers the purpose of an Urn,
and saves the trouble and expence of lighting a fire; it is admira-
bly adapted for warm weather, and hot climates, for Taverns and
Ceee Houses, and parties of pleasure in rural rambles; also on
board of vessels in rough weather, as the motion of the vessel does
not affect it, and the saving of fuel will more than pay the ex-
pence of it the first voyage.

had cultivated the ground, not knowing they were doing any
wrong, they appealed to their Lordships to prevent them from
losing their labour.

Returns ordered by their Lordships, so long ago as February 14,
had not yet been made, and he moved that the order be forthwith
complied with.--Ordered.
