century, been duly appreciated at

CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.

electable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
F that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
ieir approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
y presenting to him the freedom of the town; but with that

iat this ELIXIR

s now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
son vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would he quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION:
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,

THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,

but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age.
LE GRAND GOURMAND

will find it a most social companion to his Calepash anti
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will he constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—Numbers of workmen
are busily engaged in making preparations for the meeting of
both houses of parliament. No alterations are, however to
be made in either house. In the house of Lords all the seats
and carpets have been removed to be cleaned. The canvass
on the walls is to be re-painted, and the seats at the back of
the strangers' gallery are to be raised, to afford visitors a bet-
ter view of the body of the house. The space behind the
bar is now gradually raised up to the wall—so that visitors
standing furthermost from the bar will be able to see and hear
the proceedings as well as those close to the bar. Some im-
provements, though trifling, are also to be made with respect
to the ventilation. No alteration whatever, will be made in
the body of the house, either with respect to the seats or the
decorations. The house of Commons is being re-painted ;
and the cushions on the seats, together with the matting on
the floor, will be thoroughly cleaned and repaired. The fit-
tings for the Bude light have been tastefully painted, and are
otherwise much improved in appearance since last session.
The galleries, seats, &c, will remain unaltered.—London
