THE METROPOLITAN EMPORIUM OF ELEGANCIES.
AMONG THE SIGHTS OF LONDON n•ne are
more interesting and extraordinary than its shops; and
for a combination of taste and elegance, there is not one so
conspicuous as Mechi's, 4, Leadenhall-street;near the India
House. There may be seen the most recherche productions of
English manufacture, displayed in the most attractive form.
At night the brilliancy of the illumination gives an additional
effect of great splendour. Those who are about to visit Lon-
don, will certainly miss one of its most remarkable public
features if they do not call at Mechi's. There may be suited
the economical and the luxurious. Industry and amusement
may there be alike furnished with their implements, made in
the most finished and faultless manner. The Merchant, the
Traveller, the Housekeeper, in short, every class will find at

NEW ATTRACTlON.—Determined to take the lead in taste,
Mechi has brought out some most superb and novel speimens
in PAPIER MACHE. Finding it impossible to. display them
advantageously in his former space, he has, at considerable ex-
pense, fitted-up a splendid show-room, to which he invites all
those who are desirous of seeing the most brilliant specimens
this country can produce. Among the recherche specimens of
Papier Mache articles will be found some decorated with ad-
mirable copies of Edwin Landseer's most popular and modern
paintings ; together with some exquisite landscapes of Windsor
Castle, Virginia Water, the Isle of Wight, Szc.
N.B.—Letters from the country, accompanied by a postoffice
order, or a reference for payment in London, will meet prompt
attention, and the goods will be carefully packed.
