JOSEPH COOPEIt AND SON'S
LOOKING-GLASS aim FURNITURE WAREHOUSE,
*O. 93, DISHOPSGATZ-STIUST WITHIN.

AS general traders in our particular line, we have,
for half a testury, given special satisfaction to a highly
respectable and ibribtgent Connection, to whom we take this
public opportunity of tettwning our grateful acknowledgments
for all past favours, and of expensing our aealous and determined
Intention to merit a continuation of their future patronage.
With the change of the times and eircumstanc&s, however,
which have served to give a new featare to the speculations of
trade, we must necessarily vary our arrangements in business ;
indeed, it hasbecome themes, iniperative on men of capital and
influence in their respective circles to tonsult the public neces-
sities, because the limits to which the commercial horizon has
for many years extended appear gradually to contract; and the
Manufacturer and Artisan are now suffering under the consss.
quent pressure arising from the want of export and employment.
This state of things has given rise to a class of Speculators, who
have endeavoured to benefit themselves by offering goods of
very inferior manufacture, which, although apparently cheap,
yield the greater profits ; they are showy and decorated, but ma-
nufactured without regard to durability, and consequently prove
in the result a serious disappointment to the purchaser.
There has also existed an opposite extreme : another class of
tradesmen have made such exorbitant demands for their arficlesb
as to create surprise in the minds of purchasers how the great
disparity in the charges of different houses can be satisfactorily
explained. We shall leave this question as it rests, and enter
upon our more immediate subject.
To be just in our dealings as Tradesmen, we muk have a pro-
fit, but we shall be satisfied with a moderate one; and therefore
step between the working mechanic and his cheerless prospects
--give him fair wages suitable to the times as they really are—
employ our capital in the purchase of first-rare material—and
offer the character and credit of an old-established Mercantile

I louse, to the more immediate patronage of the Nobility, Gen=
try; and Public of the United Kingdom.

JOSEPH COOPER and SON, in thus offering the nature
of their business to notice, trust they shall not be considered as
attempting what they cannot maintain and support—their Ware-
house contains every description of the best manufactured Fur-
niture. LOOKING GLASSES,
From the immense reduction which has now taken plane, can be
offered (even of magnificent sizes) so low as particularly to inte-
rest Noblemen or Gentlemen desirous of fitting up their houses
with this elegant and fashionable article, whether for the Draw-
ing pr Dining Room, Chambers Staircases, Windows, Conser-
vatories, &c. For Windows, Door Lights, or exposed situations,
their Plate Glass will be found in a relative degree cheaper than
Crown Glass. This article, for a small insurance, will be eel-
vered, free from risk or breakage, or large Glasses forwarded by
spring caravans, constructed for the purpose, to any part of the
Kingdom, at a very trifling expense.

SECOND-HAND LOOKING GLASSES

93, BISLIOLIGATE

Within the last few months, the ancient mansion
in Whitehall, which for centuries had been the abode
of the Ittcstmotso family, has been razed to the
ground, and on its scite several houses are erecting,
which Will command a beautiful view over the Thames
to the distant hills of Kent and Surrey. There is no-
thing remaining of the antique mansion except the
portico of the outer entrance, to der which the once
noble inhabitants entered. Richmond House, which
was built in the reign of the unfortunate CHARLES,
was the temporary residence of his facetious successor.
Wednesday nlo-ning, an eitraordinary fracas toolc
place in the neighbourhood of Lower Grosvenor-
place, Pimlico, between a Mr. L. C. and a Mr. M—N,
in consequence of the latter sending a very offensive
letter to Mr. L. C. who immediately replied to it, by
belabouring Mr. M----N with a horsewhip, which, in
a struggle between the parties, Issoki; when Mr. L. C.
thought proper to deprive a drayman of his teaser,
which he contrived to use with such dexterity on the
trunk of his adversary, as to induce him to take to his
heels, to the no small satisfaction of a numerous as.
semblage of persons, who collected to witness what
they termed " coming to the scratch."
At the judgment of CLonres, Cicala° gave in evi-
dence upon oath, and when the Jury, which consisted
of fifty-seven, had passed against his evidence, one
day in the Senate, CICERO and CLODIUS being in al-
tercation, CLODIUS upbraided him, and said, " The
Jury gave you no credit." CICERO answered, " Five-
and-twenty gave me credit ; but there were two-and-
thirty that gave you no . credit, for they had their
tnoriey before hand !"
Lord N. being informed that Captain F. who had
actively canvassed the proprietors of the National
Insurance Company in favour of his brother, at the
late Elesition for Directors, was an Officer of the
Royal Marines, who had seen much service, observed,
" that the Captain would have been himself most
eligible,
having considerable experience and know-
ledge of marine' risks, being accustomed to receive
premiums for taking lives, and as affording a practical
proof, that although following a profession more
than doubt!) hazardous, his tenement had escaped all
the damages of fire; but," added his Lordship, on
hearing that the gallant Captain did not possess four
shares, " his want of a sujicient stock of assurance is
an insurmountable bar to his promotion !"
UNFORTUNATE CASE.--A zealous Priest in the
north of Ireland missed a constant auditor from his
congregation, in which schism had already made de-
predations. " What keeps our friend, farmer IL owo,
away from us ?" was the anxious question proposed
by the vigilant Minister to his assistant. " I have nut
seen him among us," continued he, " these three
weeks: I hope that it is not Protestantism that keeps
him away."—" No," was the reply, " it is worse than
