substitute for Peach Ice, is a firs r e Dessert Fruit, and,
for Invalids, it is truly valuable, eing more grateful and
nutricious than other Fruits.
J. M. is now prepared to serve Desserts to any extent, and
respectfully solicits a comparison of his Fruits with any other
Establishment. Pines, Melons, Grapes, Peaches, Nectarins,
and Kent Filberts are of superior quality.

Limes, Tamarinds, Guava Jam, with Pickles and Sauces in

VEGETABLE OIL SOAP.
J. M. begs respectfully to recommend to Ladies and Gen-
tlemen visiting watering places or travelling, this eroolient
Soap. It renders the hardest water soft, and makes the skin
white, soft, and healthy; eradicates roughness and redness;
and will preserve the complexion in any climate. The great
objection to soap is its corrosive properties. The Vegetable
Oil Soap is not only free from those properties but highly
nutritious—is an invaluable acquisition at the toilet and in
the nursery. It preserves the delicate texture of the skin,
and its use is highly recommended, and to gentlemen to
shave, who have a tender or irritable skin, it is invaluable.
J. M. is indebted to Admiral Murray for the following testi-
monial :—" 7th January, 1821. A. M. can, from his own
experience for three or four years, testify that the Vegetable
Soap is the best he ever used in shaving; also for chapped
hands it is truly valuable."

A CUTTER.—A tailor of Plymouth announces that, at his
shop, a travelling coat, dress coat, waistcoat, two pair of
trowsers, a hat, and two shirts may be obtained—made to
measure—for the trifling cost of thirty-two shillings.

Those who have the plague of party spirit are not only in
a dangerous case themselves, but they carry about with then
a mortal infection, which they frequently communicate to
others.

—A loquacious lady witness, whom the op-
posing counsel could not silence, had so long kept him at bay,
that, by way of brow-beating her, he at last exclaimed, " Why,
woman there is brass enough in your face to make a kettle !"
" And sauce enough in yours to fill it," was the rejoinder.
The following curious anecdote is in circulation among our
gossiping townspeople :—The celebrated Dr. Hook, the vicar
of Leeds, attended divine service in the evening at the Galilee
Chapel, in the Cathedral, on Sunday last. Mr. Townsend
was the preacher, and his subject was taken, according to his
usual custom, from the service of the day ; and his text was
the difficult passage in Ephesians, chap. iii., verses 14 to 19,
which he discussed with his usual energy. On Dr. book's
opinion being subsequently asked respecting Mr. Townsend's
sermon, he is said to have answered that it was a very fair
sermon, but that the preacher went out of his depths. Ott
this reply being communicated to one of Mr. Townsend's
clerical friends, " Oh!" he answered, " I am not surprised
at that remark. Nothing is more usual than that Mr.
Townsend should go in his sermons where Dr. Hook could
not follow him." Whether this observation was more com-
plimentary to Dr. Hook or to Mr. Townsend, we leave to the
judgment of our readers.—Durham Advertiser
