In addition to the trade hitherto carried on by this establishment in Clothing and Men's Mercery, an extensive Drapsry department has been opened ; and the reputation which has been" long enjoyed by Mr Kerr for the excellence of the stock hitherto kept on hands by him, is the best proof thai; his new undertaking will be thoroughly well maintained. The Supreme Court Hotel, which is about Lo be opened in Stuartstreet by Mr. C. O'Driscoll will form a valuable addition to estabments of its Mud in Duuediu. It will contain 17 well ventilated and neatly furnished bed-rooms, »nd four sitting-rooms, as well as a diningroom and a billiard-room. Each landing will be pleateously supplied with hot and cold water, and convenient bath-rooms will be provided. The building is now completed, and only awaits internal fittings to be prepared for habitation.
