f PHE Proprietor of the Wellington •*- Candw Factory begs to observe, for the information of the Public, that from the many and varied sources from whence he has been favoured with information respecting the New Light, there is not a doubt on his mind that the whole question will be set at rest. Of • course all are aware of the great sensation lately created in nearly all the families of Wellington with regard to the New and Brilliant Light. The Proprietor of the Wellington Candle Factory would wish it to be understood that he has a most decided dislike to anything that bears the semblance, or that even might be construed into anything in the shape of , puffing ; yet with due delicacy, and with great satisfaction to himself, he has ascertained beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these Brilliant Lights proceed from the ends of the Candles 'made at his Factory. This he has ascertained from the best authority, and beyond the possibility of a doubt, and consequently that they are not from the " Sydney Mould Candles," but are as superior to them as the purest sperm candles are to a common dip. The Proprietor is not now going to instance • any of the many proofs of their superiority to the Sydney candles ; nor would he wish for one moment to injure Mr. Price ; but at the same time die would recommend those who have not • tried the Wellington Candles, by a fair trial •to test to their satisfaction the superior qualities of his Candles ; and he would further recommend that families will be particular, and -always inquire at all the respectable Stores in town for the Wellington Factory Candles, where they may be had in any quantity, say

from half a Candle to half a ton.

N.B. — Wanted, a couple of active Assistants in the Wellington Factory, to whom liberal jwages will be given. April 30, 1853.
