According to a contemporary, his Worship of Ohristchurch wears <i dress of the following description :—"The robe is composed of purple velvet, with a train of eighteen inches, trimmed with ermine, and lined with ambercoloured silk, and large open sleeves. The band or collir is made of black velvet edged with handsome gold braid, and four gold stars on breast of same, and attached to the point is the citv coat of arms, embroidered in gold and silver, with gold border. The first link of a chain is also appended to the coat of arms, the intention being to add the links of the preceding Mayors. The cap is made of the same velvet, with gold buttons and ermine bonier." There are no bella on the cap as far as we can learn. The inhabitants of the Cromwell district are. sometimes puzzled to know which is the best and cheanest establishment to purchase their supplies of drapery and clothing at. They should no longer remain in doubt on that score. If they | will only pay one visit to W. Talboys' London I House, they will discover for themselves that I it is not only the cheapest but the best store at I which to deal for these articles. Mr Talboy* \ has made arrangements to import his stock direct ; from the Homo markets, and the public can rest assured that everything will be sold by him at an advance only sufficient to repay the original cost, and return a fair percentage on the outlay. Every article in Mr Talboys' establishment is marked in plain figure?, from which no abatement is ever made. A fuller description of tbs stock will be found iu advertuKmoit ia another column.—{Abvt.]
