of apparel of any description, purchased immediately. Linens, cottons, or anything appertaining to the garniture of the human race, will find a ready dealer. Cash without cavilling-ready attention-and the most important matter of all, ready money.

BOOKS.

Mr. Pearson, being a literary man himself, is ready to receive Books of every description-Musical, Philosophical, Divinity, or Works of Fiction. The fullest price offered and given.

MEDICAL STUDENTS.

There are many indeed at Bartholomew's, many at St. Thomas's, besides the splendid family of Guy's. With regard to the latter hospital, the good old bookseller affords a most splendid example of learning, combined with the honesty of intention. The dispenser of books evidently beat Edward, the dispenser of honours. Should anything in the shape of consumption occur, Mr. Pear son will immediately attend to it; if a compound fracture should take place in any manner, Mr. Pearson will

be ready with splints. Should the Iliac artery be disordered, he will quite as readily be at the disposal of the trousers that covered it.

Cases of " consumption of the chest" will be immediately attended to. In cases of atrophy, Pearson will be in ready attendance; and where lock-jaw supervenes, he will be found to be of utility. From the lecture room to any other room, Pearson is ready to prescribe. He is at all times ready with his fee, and will be found a very reasonable subject for dissection.

THE LAW, &c.

The Inns of Court are important-manifold are the mischiefs of eating terms, and doubtless many a coat is parted from thereby. He who would be a Bencher must begin by being a beef-eater. The evil of habeas corpus may be safely left to the suit. Pearson will buy the suit at once, and without any writ of error place himself in Chancery. He will be happy to attend the Rolls' Court early in the morning, and in his examination he will fully carry out the principles of a Court of Review. His Exchequer Court is at all times good. He never enters a "noli prosequi," and cares very little indeed regarding the Queen's Bench; and in offering such observations to the public, he merely hints at the Common Pleas. Ready is he for the Knights Templars. The Earl of Lincoln hath no fears for him-Gray's Inn has

his most hearty welcome-Staple's Inn will find him. a "Staple visitor ;" and from Furnival's Inn he is ready to receive any garniture whatever. Clifford will be happy to see him, Barnard will feel somewhat jealous, but, at all events he has no fear of Lyons-he, however, leans to "Clemency." He offers no protest, puts in no demurrer-nothing whatever in the shape of a writ of error. The verdict will be for the seller, and figuratively

without costs.

THE ROYAL NAVY

Has Stephen Pearson's most peculiar attention. He is at all times ready to purchase a discarded uniform, conscious that by so doing he is but extending the indomitable spirit of the English officer! In all dealings, Pearson will be found above board, and with a perfect reckoning. The most liberal cartels will be granted-ready cash for any description of outfit whatever. True blue and the union jack is Pearson's motto, in this ever-changing raiment of the wide world. The Lords of the Admiralty have called forth the necessity of the above observations, inasmuch that it seems that every change of adminīstration brings about a change of uniform. Officers in this dilemma will do well to consider Sir Robert Peel's currency question. The exchange with Pearson is never affected materially. A note presented to him will be immediately honoured.

THE ARMY.

Mr. Pearson "presents arms" to this safeguard of the British nation; and, believing that nothing can afford so good a coast defence as regular proof coats, is most anxious to obtain them. He looks to the army! He is ready to take accoutrements of any description, whether it be Prince Albert's newly-invented hat-or the last newly-invented shako, coats, trousers, shabracks, sabretaches, girdles, epaulettes, spurs, boots, and, in short, everything connected with the

"Pomp and panoply of war."

He will march to any distance; and, without throwing out "videttes" or "sharpshooters," hold himself in readiness to come on, hand to hand, with any one who wishes to possess the Queen's likeness. Cheverons, and every

other distinctive honour, find a ready recipient in the accumulated stores of Stephen Pearson. He has never yet had occasion to "fall out" of any "rank" in which he yet had the honour of engagement.

PRESENTATIONS AT COURT.

In all presentations, levees, drawing rooms, or birthdays, certain observances are of course required and exacted;

and whether in the navy, the army, the church, or any other appointment emanating from the Crown, individuals are usually presented at the next levée respectively; for which purpose it is proper to apply to some nobleman to make the presentation. The first thing to be observed is appropriate dress; then cards of address in manuscript, some three or four days previous, one to be left at the Queen's Chamberlain's Office, St. James's, before 12 o'clock in the day. Her Majesty's Gentlemen Ushers will give every extra or special information.

St. James's Palace should be reached by 2 o'clock at the latest. Take two cards with you-deliver one to the Queen's Page in the Presence Chamber-where, if you feel any difficulty, you will obtain additional instruction: with the other card proceed to the next chamber, where by observation you will readily perceive how to act. The remaining card will be delivered to the Lord in Waiting, who will announce your name, appointment, and presentation. Her Majesty will graciously extend her hand to you-you are then to kneel upon the right knee, gently and respectfully kissing the presented hand-rise, bow, and proceed on, keeping your eyes on Her Majesty, until you shall have gone some little distance, when you pass off to the right.

After having been once presented, you may attend any levee with cards on which your name is written, merely by leaving one at the office of the Lord Chamberlain.

At every drawing room you should be provided with an additional card.

Ladies to be presented at the Queen's drawing room should send their names, together with the name of the lady presenting.
