* f PHE Proprietor of the Wellington ~*~ Candmc-Factokt begs to observe, for the information of the Public, that irom the many and varied sources from whence he has been favoured with information respecting the Naw 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 Wel- > lington with regard to the Nxw 'And'Bkili^tant' Light. The Proprietor of the Wellington -Candle Factory wonld 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-BitiLLiANT '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 ajny of the many proofs of their superiority to • the Sydney candies ; nor-would he wish for one -moment to injure Mr. Price ; but at the same time he would recommend those who have not tried' the Wkllington Candlbs, 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 Factobt Candlxs, 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 wages will be given. April 30,1853.
