MESSRS. RIME and SON solicit attention to their
Establishment,
No. 57, CHURCH-STREET,
where may be seen, the most important improvements in the

THE EXTRA-SIZED SIX-AND. HALF OCTAVE
PATENT GRAND SQUARE,
WITH GRAND PIANO-FORTE ACTION,
_ THE SCHOOL-ROOM PIANO-FORTE,

peculiarly adapted for the younger branches of players; the
SPLENDIDLY-FINISHED BOUDOIR COTTAGE,

THE HIGHLY-CELEBRATED BICHORDA,

CAUTION.—HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the
1. VA liberal patronage he has received for so many years,
and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them
against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted
upon them under the various d9nominations of BEST
PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH,"
" PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-FACED STARCH,"
" SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &C. These invariably
disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only
Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as
his make ; and he begs further to caution them against pur-
chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made
from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be
distinguished from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer
knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior
strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when
exposed to the atmosphere,
It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a Patent for his invention before he brought
the article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the
case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requestei to ask for
HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.
No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.

PLATE, PLATED GOODS, AND JEWELLERY.
THOMAS DISMORE, SILVERSMITH and JEWELLER
to the QUEEN, 35, BOLD-STREET, respectfully informs
Merchants, Exporters, and the Public, tha,rbe supplies the
best Manufactured Goods at the same Wiles as if purchased
in London. The following is the Pride per Ounce of New
London stamped SPOONS and FORKS, of the plain Fiddle
Pattern. The Weights may be either heavier or lighter, at
the option of the purchaser :

12 Table Spoons 30 oz. at 7s. 2d. per oz., 10 15 0
12 Table Forks
12 Dessert Spoons 20 „ 7s. 2d. „ 7 3 4

If for Exportation, a drawback of is. Gd. per oz. will be
deducted.

The PLATED Goons are of a superior manufacture, and,
having Silver Edges, are, with confidence, recommended,
particularly as the same quality has been proved to wear
thirty to forty years without showing any appearance of being
Plated.
Parties having purchased common Plated Goods, or having
any which, from long use, require Re-plating, are informed
that they can be Re-plated by the new Electro-process,
Specimens of which may be seen.
As Messrs. DISMORE and SON confine their attention ex-
clusively to the Manufactory in London, 'Dios. DismortE
has greater advantages for executing orders in the newest
fashion (so important in Jewellery) and with better work-
manship than he could otherwise offer; and, at the same
time, begs to observe that, as it is not his object to astonish
the reader by the low prices at which Goods can be made, he
feels confident that, the quality being considered, the prices
will be found extremely moderate.

ANECDOTE OF GARRICK.—In 1759 Dr. Hill wrote a
pamphlet, entitled " To Davd Garrick, Esq., the humble
Petition of I, in behalf of Herself and Sister ;" the purport
of which was to charge Mr. G. with mispronouncing some
words including the letter I, as Arm, turtue, &c. The fol-
lowing answer was returned to Dr. H. by Mr. Garrick :
" if 'tis true, as you say, that I've injured a letter,
I'll change all my notes soon, and 1 hope for the better.
May the just rights of letters, as well as of men,
Hereafter be fixed by the tongue and the pen !
Most devoutly I wish they may both have their due,
And that /may never be mistaken for U."

EARLY RISING.--In the will of the late Mr. Sarjeant, of
the borough of Leicester, is the following singular clause :-

my executors that they have got out of bed in the rnorniog,
and either employed themselves in business or taken exercise
in the open air, from five o'clock till eight every morning
from the sth April to the 10th October, being

first seven years to the satisfaction of my executors,ma)
excuse them in cases of illness, but the task must be made up
when they are well ; and if they will, not do tins they shall
not receive any share of my property.
