ADVERTISING.

There can be "but little doubt tbat the art of advertising is but in its infancy in this colony—tradesmen do not understand it. They content themselves with a simple notification of their place of business and the wares they have for- sale. They understand adveitising decidedly better in tbe old country,.as witness the following choice business notice inserted in an east end London newspaper by an enterprising Whitechapel clothier. "To His Bile Highness the Prince of Wales, and Bis Imperial Majesty the Emperor and His Wench—Smith, well known by everybody to be the only genuine clothing manufacturer in Whitechapel and acknowledged by the natives to be the best and cheapest house in the neighborhood for cord and cloth clothing of every description. The Champion of England, slap-up tog and out-and-out kicksies builder, nabs tbe chance of putting his customers awake that he has just made his escape from Canada, not forgetting to clap his mauleys on a rare dose of stuff; but on his return homewas stunned " to tumble against one of the tip-top manufacturers of Manchester, who had stuck to the gilt, cut his lucky from his drum, and about vamoosing off to the Swan Stream, leaving behind him a valuable stock, of moleskins, cords, velveteens, plushes, doeskins, boxcloths, pilots, &c, &:., and having the ready in his kick grabbed the chance, slipped home with the swag, and is now safely landed at his crib ; he can turn out toggery very slapup to lick up all the slop-shops in the neighborhood at the following low prices, ' for ready gilt—tick being no go : Upper built on a downey plan, a ' monarch to half a finnuff.
