iv. B. PROMOLI,
SUCCESSOR TO THOMAS wOOLFIELD,
No. 24, CHURCH-STREET,
ADJOINING THE POSTOFFICS.

BEGS to inform his Friends and Customers, that the daily
13 increasing support he meets with has Compelled him to
enlarge his Establishment on a most extensive and splendid
scale, and that the additional Premises will be completed
and thrown open to their inspection on MONDAY next, the
13th August instant, when he will leave it to their liberality
and judgment to pronounce whether such. an Establishment,
for convenience in the arrangements, simplicity in the fit-
tings up, richness and variety of the Stock, (of which the
greater part has been manufactured by him, or under his own
superintendence,) was ever before equalled in England or on
the Continent.
W. B. P.'s STOCK of the Best LONDON JEWEL-
LERY, consisting of Suits from £lO to £6OO, Gold Chains,
Guards, Gold and Silver Snuff Boxes, &c. &c., in the great-
est variety, stands still unrivalled; and his Friends and the
Public in general will continue to find, by comparison, that
a large establishment like his must always, and in every
branch, offer the greatest advantages in price, quality, and
choice of Articles.

The Manufactory for DRESSING-CASES, WORK-
BOXES, JEWELLERY, LAMPS, and CHANDE-
LIERS is on the Premises, Church-street and Postoffice
place, and may be inspected at all times. W. B. P. employs
continually from forty to fifty first-rate Workmen, which
gives him the facility of executing Orders on the shortest
notice, and likewise the advantage of enabling him to war-
rant the superior quality and finish of his work in general.
W. B. P. also employs, in France and Geneva, a number
of 'Workmen for the Manufacture of CLOCKS and
WATCHES; and his great sale enables him to keep, on
his own Premises, clever finishers, for the purpose of exami-
ning and regulating before offering them for sale.
W. B. P.'s particular desire is to form an Establishment
on a scale of magnitude hitherto unknown, being well con-
vinced that his great enterprise and continual perseverance
will meet with encouragement from his Friends and Patrons,
and, further, that the attraction he offers will
. not fail to ob-
tain the favourable notice of the many distinguished Visitors
who frequent this important part of the Empire.

" Facts are stubborn things, and cannot be doubted."

viTl:rHii:i the last few years,. we have heard Inuch of the
' V intelligence, ability, and industry of Mr. THOMAS
FULLARD, of French Drove, near Thor y, introducing
lte
into this country, from various parts of t Continent, such
Seed as was never before known, and w b from its exten-
sive produce, has caused so much sensat on that individuals
unknown to him questioned the fact whether such desirable
change and plant could be produced so essential to the tillers
of land ; that a feeling of this kind can exist is beyond doubt,
for almost every prophet was doubted and so has been the
gentleman in question; he fears not the sceptic, for "facts
are stubborn things," and he gave on Monday last, the 16th
instant, a general and public invitation to the most respecta-
ble, wealthy, and intelligent agriculturists to dine with him
at his own residence, to inspect the various lands sown with
the respective Wheats he intends to offer to the notice of gen-
tlemen of the soil during the approaching seed time; the
number is attendance was peat, and after partaking of an
excellent repast and a glass of good cheer, proceeded to the
~, .1 w h-re th,, most prolific crops were exhibited, and not-
anlistandine fartnrre. were there from many counties, unani-
mously declared they were unequalled in appearance and
presented an undoubted character—that they would give an
increase in growth and appearance never before known; in-
deed they were dissatisfied with their own crops, and regretted
such seed had not before been known to them; amongst the
gentlemen of experience was William Tooley, Esq., of the
Abbey Farm, Crowland, who, independent of large landed
property of his own, in his own occupation, rents a thousand
pounds per annum of other parties; but Mr. Tooley is only
one of the great number : Mr. George Maxwell, late of Crow-
land, but now of Borough Fen, was so fully satisfied that he
immediately gave instructions to have much of the seed; Mr.
John Maxwell, a neighbour of Mr. Fullard's, also desired to
have a supply; Mr. Wright Crane, of Thorney, near Peter-
boro', farmer, of great experience—say forty-five years, and
residing within the lordship where Mr. Fullard lives, was so
fully assured of his ability to increase produce by selecting
proper seed, as to state that Rumour, with her ten thousand
tongues, as to the truth of what had been stated, was erro-
neous ; that he voluntarily declared Mr. Fullard's skill and
ability to be unequalled; only a very few are here selected
as the spectators, but all were unanimous; it was a blessing
that such a man was existing, to save his country from foreign
importation and famine. The Wheat exhibited and most
approved was his Britannia Waterloo White Wheat, inde-
pendent of many other descriptions. Mr. F. is also a grower
of Tares, which were much approved, and the gentlemen
present desired to have their lands sown with the same kind
of seed, and after inspecting the Wheat and Tares above al-
luded to, were shown a lot of superior Cream-coloured Beasts,
one of which is intended for the Queen's Christmas dinner
the present year, and the whole were much admired as a fine
specimen; Mr. Fullard also assured the meeting
.he had a
great demand for his Young Heifers of the same improved
breed of Short Horns.
._ .

The whole were very gratifying, and deserve the attention
of Farmers, Graziers, &C., in this neighbourhood and every
part of the country. "UNE PRESENT."

Prince would be" " Count of Paris.
