Wholesale GrocerH '^ Biirker, Joseph, Importer of Millinery and Fancy Dry Goods 40 Baths, The BayliB, James & Co., Carpet Warehouse Charleaworth, John ith their Montreal friends, they would more generally keep travellers out, and not let year by year a large amount of trade slip past them. By this means they would place their goods before the Western merchant, and he at once^could see the advantage h« would have in selecting his stock in Toronto. That goods are not sold cheaper in the East, the writer has had many proofs, by close buyers, on their return homeward, sorting up, and frcoly admitting that they paid more for tlie same goods in Mon- treal. In many instances the country mt-.chant over buys, and finds as the season advances that he is unable to take advantage of cheap lines offering towai-ds the close of the wholesale season, but just at the busiest in the retail. Now it is well known that buying light, and often, is most profitable to the retail merchant, and ii compelled to sort up to shove off a heavy balance of stock, he is in a way obliged to go again to a distant field for his supplies. Several days of time are wasted, and much money thrown away in travelling expenses, all of which would be saved to the country merchant if he used the Toronto market. True, he may have larger stocks to select from in Montreal, but as most houses in this city keep regular buyers in the home markets, forwarding goods by every. uteatn(!r from Englund, tl , stocks hero are very large, and will be found, wc be- lieve, as well selected as any. The trade is also done with mure care and prudence, and with less risk, than in any other city in Canada. The arrange- ments for purchasing in the best markets in the world are also equal to those of any other point, for the capital employed here is larger in proportion to the extent of trade done than elsewhere in the Province. Another advantage the Western dealer would have would be that he could do the same amount of busi- ness with at leant one^third the stock, seeing that in going Kast it does not pay to buy only for immediate want, therefore, as was before remarked, he over buys himself, and late in the season finds his shelves full, and has again to visit the East to sort up, the trip aione eating up his profit on the goods he pur- chases. In Canadian mauufactured goods the "Western section of this Province produces the great bulk of our tweeds, blankets, flannels, yarns and cotton?, which it is an acknowledged fact are sold cheaper in Toronto than in Montreal. We have all the advantages of having the mills almost at our very doors, whilst in Montreal the buyer has to pay extra for the cost of carriage there and back. By purchasing in this market, that expense at least would be saved. This year manufacturers have it all their own way. The eagerness displayed by a few of our largest wholesale warehousemen, to secure the whole productions of the millh of Western Canada, has run prices up at least 30 per cent, over what thty can be produced for in open market, however, that cannot last long as all attempts of the kind react on the monopolists, and prudent houscst stand off rather than pay more than the real value of the goods. A look through the extensive ware- houses in Toronto, and a trial of the goods and terms offered by the merchants is all that is wanted to convince buyers that Toronto is a first class market, and one which taken all in all is equal in every respect to any other in the Province, and one which from its central situation and other^ad vantages is the natural com- mercial centre for Upper Canada. With reference to Groceries, the same arguments can be used. Our merchants have for years had to compete with a somewhat unscrupulous opposition, for the trade of Western Canada, but for fair prices and liberal terms they have never been excelled. A great cry among many country merchants is that in Montreal they can buy cheaper, from the fact that Montreal men are direct importers ot Teas and Sugars. Wc grant that they are direct importers, but have not Toronto men the same advantages ? Have not Toronto Grocers ample means, and good connections, equal to any enjoyed by Montreal houses ? Have not Toronto men the same amount of experience in business, and what is more, have not some of our leading houses here, buyers from this city in Cuba, and are we not daily receiving this valued article from the first hands ? W^hat more is wanted to convince men that Toronto is as cheap a market as Montreal ? Our buyers pay cash and un- donbtly can command as low rates as houses in any other city. Moreover, in the case of Sugar buyers, who act for Toronto houses are in many cases the same who act for Montrealers, and can any one show us how prices can be difierent ? In- deed our rates of freight from >few York are much less^than to Montreal from that place, and this alone is a slight advantage. We read of cargoes of Teas im- ported fr-om China direct to Montreal, but it is well known that_only eight car- ^ 8 goes !iavo over really been importnd, and those turnoil out so unprofitable to tho shJpptTH thut it is not intended to import further anpplies. All Tiaa are imported thron^jfh English houses, and these latter give Toronto men just rh niuny fueilitioa OS their neighbnurH, in t'uct Toronto standH on tho . luno footing thut New York doc8. Kverything is bouj^ht direct from tho nwnufiicturerH, and Toronto men are thas enabled to compete for trade uh well as any on the continent. In Ihinlwuro, we are in the same position. In some articles of heavy hardware the geographical position of Montreal make dealers import to better advantage, but with tho benefit of low rates of freight from the States, close buying, and being near thepoint.s of manufacture, goods can bo laid down here cheaper than in Montreal ; the stocks are well assorted, and there is always u constant supply in the markel. In Crockery, although Montreal has large .stocks, Wchtern merchants admit that in no place can they better supply their wants than in Toronto, or at more eatia- factory prices. It is admitted that in the Boot and Khoo trade, Toronto ofiers very superior advantages. Th(! trade of Western Canada requires a varied and fine description of goods, and Toronto manufacturers being thoroughly conversant with tho rofiuirenionts of tho trade, and having every facility at their command for manufacturing, are enabled to compete most favorably with Montreal. In conclusion, all that Toronto merchants ask, is a fair comparison between the prices at which they offer their well selected and complete stocks, and those current elsewhere — not the quotations of a fe.r leading articles purposely rated low, but of the general assortment which every retailor has to buy. A. R. McMASTER tt BRO.'S DRY GOODS WAREHOUSE. There is no interest more largely or intimately connected with the prosperity of Toronto than tho Dry Goods trade. "With tho developemeiit of that trat huiidrod packajfos can bo oaHJly Htored at one time. A visit to this diipartmunt of tiio warohotiso, Hurrounded an ono id on every tilde by immonse unbroltoii bales of morchandide, which, be it rnmnmbpred , IB but the rcHCfve stocit kept l>y tlio firn», affordn an idea of the inimenao trade which is carried on by tlionj. The Hocoud flat coinprises ono long room, ex- tending tho entire lcnf,'th of tho warohonso, measuring 110 feet by 49 feet, and lighted by a Hkylight from tho roof, and by four largo windows in front. Along the extent of this room run four rows of coiuiters, upon which aro piled in tho most scrupulous order, and according to thoii respective prices, immense assort- ments of dross and stulT goods, silks, hnHi««ry, glovoa, hollands, linens, laces, ribbonds, trimmings, &e., &c. Tho third flat is of equal extent with that beneath, and is arranged in a similar manner. In it are stored woollens, doeskina, prints, shawls, parasols, straw goods, &c , &c. Tho top flat contains blankets, wadding, batting, druggets, and whole packages of light goods. Tho warehouse is under the management of Mr. W. F. McMaster, Mr. A. R. McMaster attending to tho financing and counting-house department. One member of the firm resides permanently in England aa buyer, and lie is besides assisted by the partners from the house here, one of whom goes home iwice every year, the better to secure a good selection of the newest and best goods. THE ST. LAWRENCE FOUNDRY. This foundry, situated on Palace Street, Toronto, directly opposite the old gaol, and under the proprietorship of Messrs. William Hamiltou & Son, is so well known in this Province and in the United States, that more than a passing notice is unnecessary. For the last fifteen years this firm have been doing a business that year by year has rapidly increased, and from a small commence- ment they now rank among the first foundrymen in Canada, and employ in the different departments, such as pattern making, turning, moulding, and black- smithing, no less than seventy-five men, their wages amounting to from $700 to $1,000 per week. Their principal business is in all cla.sses and descriptions of mill gear, refineries, still and general castings, &c. A visit to their establish- ment is really a treat, and the stranger cannot but admire the clockwork regu- larity with which the different works are characterized. Under the guidance of the energetic senior partner of the firm, Mr. Wni. Hamilton, we pleasantly whiled away an hour amid the buzz and clamor of noisy machinery, and having ajoenc/mnHor mechanics, the visit was both interesting and instructive. As we leave the small office of tho firm, we take a glance through the long ranges of sheds, where piled thickly on shelves and stands, are over $20,000 worth of patterns, h-om the size of a small bolt to that of the immense shaft weighing ten tons. As we enter the blacksmith shop, we are struck by the appearance in rear of the building of a large triangle, pendant in the centre of which is an irou 10 drop, weighing over one thousand pounds, which ia raised by a Ci'atKwench, and used for breaking iron, prior to its ueing melted iu the large capola of the moulding &uop. In the blacksmith shop all is stirr and bustle, the men with besmeaied faces are] hard at work fashioning the heated iron, and the clang, clang, of the^hammers seems bat to incite them in the prosecution of their labor, as music dojs a soldier^to step out. We find ourselves next in the moulding shop, where dozens of men are at work, some engaged in pouring the molten metal inio the proper rjoulds, and others carefully unfastening the " flaskn" and pj-eparing the sandy [mould for the reception of the molten metal. In this department the firm are now manufacturing an immense hollow cast iron shaft, weighing ten tons, for the flax-mill of Messrs. Gooderham & Worts at Streets- ville. It is perhaps as^lerge a specimen of the kind as has ever been made in Canada. Wr cross the yard between the foundry and moulders' shop, and glancing at a'machine used for brightening bolts, by placing several hundred in a box, and moving them fo and fro, we find ourselves in the machine shop, where steam engines and machinery appertaining to such, are manufactured. In thifl department, engines for all parts of America have been manufactured, and in 1862, six steam-engines, of eight-horse power each, with blowing cylinders, &c., were made for a large sugar refinery in the Havana. Perhaps one of the finest pieces of machinery in the shape of engines, is that which the firm manu- factured for the Glohe Steam Printing establishment, and which for beauty and finish could not be excelled. Above this shop is the pattern making depart- ment, and carpenterjwork. a.s well as a long store-room full of the most valuable patterns. The most interesting shop to the uninitiated is that where the bolts and nuts are made. Tht bolt machine which was designed and made by Mr. William Hamilton, senr., can turn out every day 1,800 i bolts, their bolt screw- ing machine will each thread 1,300 i bolts per day, and their nut screwing machines will also f ap from 1,000 to 1,300 J nuts per day of ten hours. Messrs. Hamilton & Son have been steadily extending their business during tho past year, and the reputation which their work bears is of the most satisfactory cha- rac*^er. The firm are also largely engaged in the manufacture of pipes for the Gas Compan.'' in this city, and the Metropolitan Water Company. Their prem- ises cover over an acre of ground, and their facilities for manufacturing cannot be surpassed. The stationary steam engines manufactured by this firm are of equal finish, and can be sold for less, than those made in the United States, the buyer also saving a duty of twenty per cent. The intention of the firm is t-o prepare for the manufactory of oil engines and other machinery connected with oil wel's upon a large scale. Orders for such will be promptly filled. MESSRS. KURD, LEIGH §• CO. The fact is not so well known as it ought to be, that the art of painting and *%nw*tt\, .A 4/\ m*Aa^ i-tAi*fVi/itl/*kn \\m a firm in Toronto, Messrs. Hard, Leigh & Co. Designs patterns, crests, ano8» 11 . flwtwgraraa, &c., are executed in their estftblishtnent with extreme accuracy, and at exceedingly low prices. Among the many specimens to be seen in the wareuouae, ■which is situated on Yonge Street, is a very georgeoua cup and saucer in rich .'scarlet and gold, a dinner service of the same costly pattern, having been painted by the English firm with which Messrs. Hurd, Leigh & Co., are connected, for His Grace the Duke of Devonshire. There is also to be seen in their warehouse a lovely arabesque pattern in maroon and gold, a simUar design gracmg Her Majesty's toilet service at Osborne ; a dinner set in broad bands of pale rose colour, richly decorated and chased with gold, can also be seen ; also a great variety of toilet sets in narrow lines of delicate colour, and water jugs in majolica ; presentation cups of every size, style, and pattern, and desert services of simple and graceful design. Designr similar to the above are furnished in dinner or tea services, or in single pieces, for the cabinet, mantle piece, or drawing-room table, at a price remarkably moderate, and equal in quality and appearance to anytbiug tumea out by the best English establlshi-ients. The firm are also largely engaged in the wholesale trade, importing all kinds of earthenware, china and glass, which they sell to the trade on the most favorable terms : the Journal of the Board of Arts and Manufactures for Upper Canada, speaking of the firm, and the progress which Canada has made m the art of ornamental painting and gilding on earthen ware and porcslain, says : — i. c * ♦• "Thisele-'ant ornamental art was introduced into Canada for the first time, "by Messrs." Hurd, & Leigh, Yonge Street, Toronto. The exceedingly beau- "tiful wares of tho English potteries are so attractive to all who have the least " taste that almost every family regards the possession of a set of beautiful china « as among the first requisities of housekeeping. Unfortunately, however, the ■ " loss by breakage in transporting this class of goods from England to this country, " is 60 great as to raise the price of the great articles above the convenience "of many to purchase. The Messrs. Hurd & T^igh, familiar with the pottery " business in all its practical detail, resolved to remedy this state of things by im- " porting their fine porcelain without the ornamental work, and having the artistic " embellishment executed here at their own establishment. They accordingly sent " to England for a family of artists who had been educated at a school of design in " connection with the potteries, and had long experience in working for some of .« the best establishments. Besides working for the trade, this firm takes o.uers « from private individuals, such as completing seta, painting and gilding mottoes, " cr<»ts, and designs of any required pcttern. " K> A. W. RUSSELL, ■ WHOLESALE IMPORTER OV WATCHES AND JEWELLERY. Mr. A. W. Russell, wholesale importer of watchefi and jewellery, 57 Yonge Street, over the Express Office, came to Canada from New York, in the autumn of 1862. As the war had produced a perfect stognation in the English w^ch trade there, he opened at 20 Toronto Street -business increasing and the office being rather confined, he removB'J last fall to bis pfcscut vcrjr eommodioa- " SI? ve**^— - - 12 The rooms are comfortably famished and suitably fitted up to display to advan tage the samples of the diflTerent varieties of goods, affording to his customers a comfort, not generally regarded by the trade. Mr. Russell had a great deal to contend against in establishing this present business. The retail trade had been dealing with the same houses for upwards of twenty years, which were princi- pally located in Montreal. His customers had to be seduced from these im- porters, and to do this, it was necessary to supply goods at moderate rates, and of a thoroughly reliable character. The Montreal houses had, to a certain extent, abused the confidence of the retail trade by selling inferior and unrelia- ble goods. When the genuine article purchased in the 1-jitimate course ol trade, was offered, and a corresponding price demanded, it required at first al) the powers of persuasion and business tact, to effect sales. It has taken four years to convince the trade that Mr. Russell could import for them as advan- tageously aa the Montreal houses, and to establish, as it were, Toronto as the centre for Western buyers. His efforts, however, have at length been highly successful, for there is now hardly a watchmaker of any pretensions whatever, in Western Canada, who does not deal with him, and a great many almost exclu- sively. The celebrated watches manufactured by Thos. Russell & Son. chron- ometer makers to the Queen, (of which firm Mr. Russell is a partner), he makes a speciality of. The watches have gained a wide spread celebrity in the Pro- vince, for being superior and reliable time keepers. His stock of watches and jewellery is very extensive and well asssorted, embracing all the different varie- ties of English and Swiss watches, fine gold, plated and the other kinds of jewellery; offering to the Western trade one of the best assortments both in respect to value and variety. As Toronto is the most central market, and the most accessible from all points in Upper Canada, it offers great advantages' to the Western buyer. This fact is fully sustained from the fact that not one of the retail trade West of Kingston now go to Montreal, to purchase stock, either in the spring or fall, all now make Toronto their centre or market. To Mr. Russell this is in a great measure due. The superior manufacture of his goods, and consequent entire satisfaction which they afford, especially the Russell watch, together with a judicious outlay in making the public aware of the advantages possessed by him, has done much to bring about this very desirable state of affairs. An assortment of their superior and well known watches constantly kept in stock by the foUowing thoroughly reliable houses-— In Toronto, by J. Robinson & Co., J. E. Ellis, W. Wharin & Co., J.

BRYCE, McMURRICH Sf CO. The firm of Messrs. Bryce, McMurrich & Co., Dry Goods importers, is one of the oldest and best known Dry Goods firms in the city, having been m exist- ence about 35 years. The business was first established in 1832. The establish- ment, situated at No. 34 Yonge Street, although architecturally neither imposing nor showy, is very large and commodious, and one in which an immense business is transacted. The building is three stories in height, exclusive of the basement. The first flat is devoted to the purposes of a sale-room for Canadian woo"ens, a very large selection of which are manufactured at the Columbus Mills, near Whitby, of which the firm take the entire production. In front, to the right and left of the outer door, is the counting-house and private office, and in tue rear is the commodious packing and entering room. The second flat 'a appro- priated to the purposes of a general salesroom. The walls, are surrounded witu shelves filled with goods, and along the length of the room run rows ot counters, upon which are deposited goods representing many thousands ot pounds sterling in value, in the shape of tweeds, flannels, bleach-cottons, silks, hosiery, ribbons, linens, umbrellas, &c., &c. This flat, like the first and third, is lighted from the roof by a large skylight, and well, and by windows :n front and rear. It is one large room extending 130 feet in length and 40 in breadth, the roof being supported by massive pillars. It is without doubt, one of the largest and best lighted rooms in the city. The third and top story is of equal extent with the second, and is likewise one long room lighted by the same moans. It is devoted to prints, dress goods, shawls, &c., &c. The basement extends the entire length of the building, and is airy, dry and well lighted. It is used as a bonded warehouse, and for the storage of heavy goods, such as cottons, heavy linens, &c. A visit to the warehouse of Messrs. Bryce, McMurrich & Co., will serve better than anything else to convey an accurate idea of the extent of their busineaa, and the facilities they possess, for carrying it out in all its branches. DODGSON, SHIELDS 8r CO.'S CONFECTIONBUY ESTABLISHMENT. The manufactun and sale of confectionery have become a branch of trade of coneiderable importanoo. in which a large amount of capital and a great number of people are employed. The consumption of the country yearly increases, and the demand for the finer qualities is larger every year. The largest firm •^^i^^'^y «°- gaged in the above jnanulactnre, is the one which heads this notice. Unfoftai»tely u m the fall of last year, the devonring element completely destroyed their fine estublishment on the corner of Yonge and Temperance Streets, bat Phcenix like n has again arisen, and is now one of the largest factories in Canada, and ia perhaps, one of the handsomest stores in the Province. Their trade in confection- ery, biscuits and groceries, is one of the largest in the city. Their store is, indeed, a marve'. The skill of the painter, and the knowledge of the car- ^nter, have not been spared in its "get up." Since it was ©Fned in February last, it has been to strangers one of the " wonders" of the city. The rear portion of the ground flat is devoted to the storage of sugars, ttas, ooffets, and other bulky articles of the trade, which are imported by the firm direct from the English market; while the upper flats of the building on Temper- ance Street are occupied as an extensive manufactory of confectionery and biscuits. fn proof of the enterprise of this firm, we may state that they are connected with one of the largest provision businesses in Upper Canada. Both the partners are -eminently practical men, and by close attention to business are rapidly increasing ■their trade, and gradually marching onward in the path of fortune. PETER R.

Super - Phosphatb ov Lime, and Ground Bone Dust. This extensive establishment situated in the North-eastern portion of the ^ity, has been greatly enlarged, and is now complete with labor-saving machinery and steam heating apparatus for boiling, &c. By cautiously adding to their facilities, increasing their machinery, and extending their works, they are ena- bled to oduce articles of a superior quality at low prices, and thus commend them to general use. They were the first to introduce the manufacture of the above articles, and the first to establish a Bone Mill in Canada. Success is re- warding them for their energy and enterprise. For the purpose of Grinding Bones, Super-Phosphate of Lime, Ivory Black, and Animal Charcoal, they have in operation a steam engine and massive mills, and by the aid of steam for boU- ing, they are enabled to make glue of a better quality as regards purity and strength, than they otherwise could do by the direct use of fire. Lamb's Blacking is now in general use throughout the Canadas; from Que- bec to Sandwich there are none but know and appreciate its good qualities in ^y'mgo, brilliant jet polish iohooisoT shoes, and being prepared with neat's- foot oil, it preserves the leather from getting hard and liable tc crack.

The firm first commenced business in Hamilton, but believing that Toronto offered better inducements to enterpKsing firms, and was iaol Decomioti wi« 16 commercial capital of Western Canada, removed here over seven years ago, and opened a warehouse on Wellington Street, bringing with them a large sec- tion of the Western trade, which had previously entirely confined itself to Hamilton. By their enterprise in building a cotton mill at Thorold, now pro- ducing over 4,000 yards of cloth per diem, they also contribute greatly to attract to Toronto, Western, Northern, as well as ICastern trade, thus enabling purchasers to supply themselves here at first hand, with a fabric largely consumed and quite indispensible. The late American war unsettling all values in cotton, their dividends from this scource are far short of their expectations, and we may add their deserts, yet determined to carry out what they began, and the more successfully to compete with the huge concerns producing these fabrics, the firm now contemplate increasing their mill to double, or treble its present capacity. As importers the career of the house in Toronto has been uninterruptedly pro- gressive. Last year the business of the firm was found to have increased to such an extent, that an enlargement of the premises became absolutely necessary, and accordingly the neighbouring warehouse, then occupied by Messrs. Thompson & Burns, was negociated for, and the two were thrown into one, forming one of the largest and most commodious Dry Goods warehouses in the country • On entering the warehouse, owing to the arrangement of the oflSces, the full extent of the premises becomes at once apparent. Different from most other wholesale warehouses, the counting-house, receiving, entering and packing rooms are built to the rear of the building, thus affording on first entering, an umnterrupted view of the premises. The first flat is occupied as a wo 'en room, a branch of business for which the firm enjoys a special reputation. Im- mense stocks of all descriptions of cloths are here displayed on a labyrinth of counters. Below is the basement, which is divided into two rooms, one of which is used as a bonded warehouse, and the other for the storing of the heavier classes of Manchester, and their own cottons, with Dundee and Dun- fermiline heavy linens, and jute goods. From the first floor an elegant and massive stair-case leads up to the second flat, on which are the print and fancy JOHN CHARLESWORTH 8r CO. Messr;. John Charlesworth & Co. are among the most P'-;"""«"2i'"^n!J in the Dry Goods trade.

Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. devote the principal portion of the wa el o„He to fancy Dry Goods, a very large stock of which is dways kept n 3 The warehouse consists of two buildings, Nos. 42 and 44 Yonge Set Communication from one to the other is provided by means of archways brTken through the brick wall which divide the buildings. The premises are thus very capacious, but although every available foot of space >« economised they are scaLly found sufficient for the rapidly increasing f^e enjoyed by the fim The warehouse is divided into different departments. The firs floor South contains the Woollen Department, including Tailors' trimmings of every description. The stock comprises all classes of English, Scotch, and Canadian tweeds and cloths, ladies' mantle cloths, summer coatings, &c. On this floor are also to be found umbrellas, carpet bags, and rolled m.ngs. On he second floor immediately above is kept an immense variety o ^-^7 ««^; ;-;/!?* the r( ..'i.ements of Milliners, Hatters, and Fancy Goods dealers generally. To enumemte these goods would be no easy ta.k. We may mention some of the leading articles, vi.. : hair nets, bonnet ornameots, fancy lace aud muslin goods, jewellery, parasols, bonnet fronts, dress and mantle ornaments, fancy wool goods, infants' Cashmere hats and hoods, Millinery, bonnets, and caps, men s felt hats, &c. On the corresponding floor North, is the Straw Department, »" connection with Shawls, Mantles, Flowers, Feathers, and Bonnet shapes.

The people of Canada have had during the last twelve months so much " oil on the brain," that the trade in petroleum has not only been very active in itself, but has also imparted considerable activity to other departments of business, especially those engaged in the working of iron. No man is better deserving of success both from business talent and from the superior quality of the work which he manufactures, than our popular fellow citizen Mr. Nei! Currie, of Front Street. Mr. Currie has foaght the battle of perseverance under every possible discouragement, but his labor has not been in vain, and with that busi- ness tact characteristic of the nation to which he belongs, he is now reaping what he richly deserves— a reward for his labor. His establishment is complete, his machinery being of the best description, and the boilers and oil stills he has sent to the Oil Districts have given the greatest satisfaction. He produces boilers, stills, iron agitators, tanks, &c., and some of the largest oil establish- ments in the country have been fitted up with machinery by him. In the different branches of his business he emnloys between thirty and forty men, and a visit to his works would be most interesting to the stranger. The machine shop is fitted op with all the modern mechanical appliances for finishing all kinds of work, and with an extensive blacksmith shop, he is able to turn out work of the best description, and on short notice. His facilities are unsurpassed, and the works are a credit to the enterprise of the proprietor, and gratifying evidences of our progress in the mechanical artg. It is fourteen years since Mr. Currie com- menced business in this city. He is a thoroughly practical man of business. He gives a personal supervision to his works, and every article made -is keenly inspected before being sent out of the shop. At present he is constructing a erry-boat at Windsor for the Great Western Railway Company of Canada, and between his works in this city, and those at Windsor, he gives employment to about two hundred hands. He is now manufacturing a new style of boiler and engine, adapted expressly for boring and pumping oil wells, and has more orders 25 than he can fill Mr. Cunie imports his boiler plate from Great Britain, and be keeps on hand an ample stock of tubing, fire brick, angle iron, &c., &c. Mr. Carrie's principal business is in manufacturing Boilers for Steamers, and Stationary Boilers, and he also supplies the trade, particularly manufacturers of engines, with boilers to attach to the engines they manufacture. His work- manship ie to be found throughout the entire length of the Province. He richly deserves the success which his sfforts have met. JAMES BAYLIS 8r CO.'S CARPET WAREHOUSE, 31 KING STREET EAST. The trade in car[)ets has assumed so much importance in Canada, that year by year, dealers encouraged by their success, evince a desire of go-a-headitiv- ness, and improve their establishments, and the style of goods which they import. No firm in Canada in the carpet trade has made more rapid strides to perfect- ion than that of Messrs. Jas. Baylis & Co. Their business has now assumed gigan- tic proportions, and amply attests the. fact that they can satisfy to the fullest the wants of the country, as well as those of traders in Western Canada. Their warehouse is situated at No. 31 King Street, directly opposite the Globe news- paper office. The firm first opened in Toronto thirteen years ago, in the premises now occupied by Mr. Andrew Henderson, auctioneer, the business being con- ducted under the firm of Robert Campbell & Co. In 1859, Mr. James Baylis withdrew from the firm of Campbell & Co., and assumed the Toronto business. Pour years ago, the capacity of their Tonge Street establishment being too small, Mr. Baylis, removed to No. 3 King Street, but so rapidly did the business exceed the expectations of the firm, that they were again compelled to remove their establishment to their present place of business, which is central, and one of the best stands in the city. It is very commodious, and runs from King Street to Colborne Street, a distance of 200 feet by 30 feet wide, neither post or partition disfiguring the whole range of this immense flat. The show-room is lighted by two handsome plate-glass windows on the King Street front, with three large skylights in the rear half of the flat, making it one of the best lighted warehouses in the city. The front portion is used for the display of carpets, and on each side flat rollers are provided, for the purpose of exhibiting to purch. sers the different patterns. With a large variety of hues and colors, they form at all times a most magnificent display. The firm have always in stock window shades of every style, the devices being painted in oil colors . They also sell an improved curtain window blind, which for durability and cheapness is to be much preferred to the ordinary holland blind. A large quantity have been sold, and buyers assure us of their excellence. Below the show room is the basement, which is used for the storage of oil cloth and matting, &c. One of the newest and most useful articles in lieu of floor cloth is Kamptulicon, which combines beauty and durability and has had a large sale. The firm are now receiving their stock of new carpets, velvets, I 26 Brussels and tapestry carpets, ^rugge^;-;^^^^^^^ Tli^S. ;tlso bTacVoU three ply, including John Han & Co. « «;« ^ d and plain table cloths! ducts, drills, &c., -'^ ^ Z^^jl'^'CZsl cllil.^ fringe trim- cloths, in green, scarlet, cnmson a^d « ca g ^^^^^^.^^^ ^^,^^8, and xnxngs.

They were generally either compelled to do without what they wanted or go to the retail dealer and pay a higher rate for the goods than they would in a house in which the tmde was a speciality. This difficulty is now obviated, and country dealers can now find in Toronto a house where goods in every variety, and good q".alitv, can be bought on very favorable terms. Messrs. Gillespie & Co., have, since 'they have come amongst us, been well received by the trade, and from what they have already performed, and their reputation as business men, there is every guarantee that they will give perfect satisfaction. MR. ROBERT WILKES. Mr. Wilkes is extensively engaged as a wholesale jeweller, and dealer in watches, clocks, fancy goods, &c. The business was first established in Toronto by Messrs. M. Rossin & Brother, long and favorably known to the trade of W estern Canada. Mr. Wilkes succeeded to their business in 1858, and has up till very recently carried it on in their old stand. The business however, has extended so greatly within the past few years, that in January last more commodious premises were found to 'oc necessary, and Mr. Wilkes accordingly negotiated for a lease of the adjoining building, a large ^lock on the corner o'' Yonge and Wellington Streets, lately occupied by the City Bank. By' throwing the two buildings into one, he is now poFsessed of a very commodious and handsome warehouse, in keeping with the extensive business which he carries on. The interior throughout is most beautifully fitted up ; the stock of jewellery being unsurpassed in the Province-consisting of watches in great variety, jewellery of every description, clocks, druggists' sundries, cutlery, and fancy foreign goods. ITie stock of the latter class of goods is always varied and complete, and great attention is given to the importation of goods suitable to Western Canada trade. Mr. Wilkc3 acts as Canadian agent for the " Americaii Watch," a large stock of which is to be found in his warehouse. As a time keeper this watch has an excellent reputation, and although comparatively high priced, has hod an enormous sale. American clocks also form a large part of Mr. Wilkes' stock. The walls of the warehouse are literally covered with them m all shapes and varieties, these clocks have now become an institution, found in all parts of the habitable globe, and are sold wonderously cheap. Mr. Wilkes also deals in electro-plated ware. So varied is the stock in this large warehouse, that a visit, and that only, can enable one to appreciate its extont, and the skill and taste evinced in the production of the different articles that meet the eye. SINGER SEWING MACHINES. Norris Black, No. 18 King Street Bast, Toronto, is now agent for these un- equalled machines, ajid he would assure all manufacturers who require machines- 29 for either cloth or leather, that the No. 2 Imperial Singer Machine is the best for use. It will do better work, keeps in order easier, and lasts longer than any other machine offered for sale in Canada. Prices low. Sinr^ev's New Family Ma. chine combines all the excellence of the other machines, i. neat m de-ign, almost noiseless, is speedy, runs light, is convenient in every respect, and need not be taken apart to oil or clean, and families or dressmakers who may purchase it, will find it a perfect treasure. „ . ■„ . ,, u wi, + •= Other Sewing Machine agents talk about " World's Fair Prizes, but that is nonsense, as the Singer l^-ter A, our style, was not instituted at the^time of the last World's Fair, thoug, took the prize last fall at New York State, where competition was more extensive and more keen than it was many years ago m London or Paris. These considerations should decide all in favor of our im- provement upon the letter A machine by the Singer Company themselves. All machines warranted for one year. ARTIFICIAL LIMBS. Norris Black continues to manufacture the very best artificial legs and arms. Persons requiring limbs should not allow themselves to be carried away by plausibl. pl-.mplets, and certificates from the United States. The late war has drawn out a great number of new makers, and in most instances nothing more than old worthless ideas passed off as new ones. N. B. has worked for the last nine years at the business, and keeps posted on all improvements which may be made in the manufacture of arm8>nd legs, and he intends to give the benefit of every real improvement that may be introduce^ together with what of his own practice and experience shows^, is needed to those who intrust him with work. Price of arms, $60 to $150 ; Leg, $70 to $100. P. ROONEY 8r CO. Men of enterprise and business " push" are always acceptable to the business community, and when from a small beginning they push ahead, they deserve every encouragement. So has it been with the above firm engaged in the sale of tunics, Scotch tweeds, black sillicas, Irish poplins, &c., at their warehouse, No. 60 Tonge Street. With good facilities and connections they have secured for themselves a good share of a general business, and a very large portion of that in Irish linens and Scotch tweeds, to which they specially devote them- selves. In their trade of British and Fo 3ign staple and fancy goods, they have exceeded their expectations, and since they first opened in Toronto, they have shown that they deal only in goods required for a first-class trade, which can be depended on as being of superior quality. J. E. ELLIS 8f CO. The firm of Messrs. James E. Ellis & Co., watch manufacturers, jewellers, and silversmiths and importers of silver-plate, electro-plate, &c., is the oldest 30 iewellery establiahmeat in the city ; the business having been carried on in the present place, No. 43 King St., opposite the Olohe office, for thirty years, fifteen of which has been under the present proprietors. With each successive year, the appearance of the stand has been improved, and the stock of goods increased- The building is about 25 feet front and runs back a distance of 90 feet. The windows are of handsome plate glass, and the store itself is well lighted from the rear as well as by a large skylight. The fittings of the store are excellent, and everything is so arranged that the| valuable stock is shown off to the best advantage. Their stock includes|papier-mache goods, and English and French fancy goods. They are the only importers of the Argentine silver-plate, the best substitute for silverjknown, and they have obtained the reputation in this city of giving articles of superior quality at fair prices. Their stock of Diamond rings, broaches and bracelets, as well as of English and Geneva watches is very great and varied : the rings and chains imported by this firm are fully equal in at- tractiveness of pattern and purity of metal to any in the Province, and their watches should be seen to be understood, and appreciated. Within the last year the demandjforj watches has been average, but dealers admit that it is now on the increase, and there is also a perceptible improvement in the class of work sought for. In importing, Messrs. James E. Ellis & Co. have, to judge from their stock, displayed considerable energy and ability, and in conducting their business they have shown a desire, which is appreciated, to meet the wants of the community to the utmost extent. Canadians are now getting tired o^ the endless stocks of cheap goods which come, year after year, from the United States, and prefer now to deal in the large, varied and well-selected stocks, such as those shown by the firm whose name heads this notice. The firm we should mention do a large trade in clocks, and while the articles they sell are at prices which surprise one, still the quality of the goods is excellent and cannot but com. mand attention. In " presentation" watches, plate, &c., Messrs. J. E. Ellis & Co. are very popular, and daily are receiving from all parts of the Province orders for watches or pieces of plate, tea-sets, breakfast sets, goblets, &c., in- tended for presentation by friends. Out of the many we can but point to the handsome Tprizes, gotten up for the Rowing Club last fall, a presenta- tion plate to Mr. Izard, of the Provincial Telegraph Co. Messrs. J. E. & Co.'s stock has to be seen to be appreciated, and no one could do better than to give it personal inspection. Their beautiful and varied stock are looked upon by our citizens with pride and pleasure, as evincing an enterprise, taste and judg- ment to be found in but few firms in the city THE BATHS— TORONTO. That " cleanliness is next to godliness" is a quotation true to the letter, no one will we think deny. Hundreds and thousands in this good Canada of ours, although they hear the remark repeated day by day, pay little attention to it.

AVe know of no establishment in T^to in the wuolesale bardwa^« busi^^^^^ thath^heretoforedone a more satisfactory and remunerative rade, and one which s lrTra;^ly increasing, than the establishment of Messrs Ly.a & Ma^ ab^ King Street, a few doora east of the Globe pnntirg house. The busmess was 82 originally built up and carried on by the late Mr. John Harrington, and is not? nnder the proprietorship of two gentlemen well known to the merchants of Western Canada, for their upright and honorable dealings. The warehouse i» fitted up with every convenience for carrying on the business, and their stock is large and comprehensive. Entering from King Street we have on our right the business office of the firm, and the first flat devoted to samples of heav^ goods, such as spades, shovels, hinges, nails, &c. The rear of this flat is devoted to bar and bundle iron, to the sale of which the firm devoie much altentioDj In bar iron, sheet iron, hoop and round iron, cast steel, spring steel, German steel, and in tin, comon plates, coil chain, trace chain, country merchants will find it speci- ally to their advantage to give the firm a call. The second floor is principally occupied with shelf goods, cutlery, &c., and certainly from a passing glance their stock looks particularly complete. The shelves are filled with a well-assorted stock, and as during the ensuing summer it is likely that a large number of build- ings will be erected in the country, we doubt not the firm will have a prosperous season. With Toronto builders, they have the reputation of supplying good articles at fair prices, and for that reason their wares are much enquired after. The farmer and the hardware merchant have interests very much •identical. In good times the farmer wants new ploughs, harrows, spades, shovels, hoes, scythes, axes, picks and iron, and other house furnishings from the hardware merchant, and when the farmer prospers, the hardware man prospers, and vice versa. This year on ac- count of the good harvest the business of the firm has been very brisk. In the third flat of this establishment will be found bolts, planes, scales, &c„ while the fourth flat is replete with an immense stock of spades, shovels, &c. The firm also deal largely in glass, putty, paint, cordage, cut, pressed and horse nails, an- vils, vices, with every " notion" pertaining to the business. From acquaintance with the firm, we can assert that in doing business on favorable terms they are unsurpassed by any hardware house in the country. We are among those who are inclined to give every man his due. This firm with the experience they have got, their ample means, and the thorough determination which they show to make use of the best possible facilities, are therefore sure of success, and country merchants will do well by calling on them when in the city. MESSRS. JOSEPH ROBINSON 8r CO. SHEFFIELD HOUSE. — DIRECT IMPORTERS FROM THE MANUFACTURES. The firm of Messrs. Joseph Robinson & Co. are so well known to the public, that their name and that of " The Sheffield House" has become almost a house- hold word in Canada and their extensive premises and varied stock hardly requires to be called attention to by us. Their establishment, situate on the south side of King Street west, between Yonge and Jordan, is most com- modious.and fitted up in a style which shows their stock to the public with ample justice, and places them in the front rank as one of the finest in Canada. The store is a three story building, 25 feet front, with a depth of fully 100 feet. The 83 windows on King Street arc plate-glass, with hamlsomo Btting, and on each side of the store are glass side-cases, filled to repletion with valuable stock, while the coun- ters are covered with show cases, containing the finest ar^A most recherche articles of jewellery. Messrs. Joseph Robinson & Co.'s display of jewel ery is un- surpassed in the Province, and their stock include* every variety of silver ware, pitchers, tea and coffee sets, Irays, knives and forks, and presentation plate. They are also dealers in jet, silnr and steel jewellery, combs, brushes pertumery, soaps, spectacles opera glasses, papier mache and cabinet ware. Messrs. J. K. & Co. have also a full supply of Rodgers & Sons' tabic and pocket cutlery in handsome cases. For the travelling community they have a stock well worth looking at, comprising satchels, travelling and dressing bags, and other little appurtenances which add much to the comfort of the traveller. Those who enjoy sport will find an ample stock of cricketing, and archery material, fishing tackle, croquet, bagatelle tables, &c., while for the younger elates of the community there are to be found guns, toys and dolls, in great variety and at exceedingly moderate prices. To the fancy goods business Messrs. Joseph Robinson & Co. have paid particular attention, and they have at present the largest and cheapest variety of English, French and German fancy goods to be found in Canada. This firm were the first to introduce the highly fashionable, amusing and healthy game of croquet, and so large a run was there for the game, that the firm have comnienced its manufacture here, and give complete sets at very low prices. While the firm do the largest part of their business by retail, still they cultivate a large wholesale trade, and will be found to be extensively liberal to purchasers. To describe the rich stock of this enterprising firm would take more space than we can devote ; indeed, so varied is the assortment of silver and electro-plated ware, watches, and jewellery, that a visit, and that only, will enable one to appreciate its extent, and the skill and taste evinced in the selection and importation of the different articles that meet the eye. Parties from a distance can be furnished with copious cata- logues giving every information, prices, &c. E. M. CARRUTHERS fy CO. STEAMER " ALGOMA." Business first, pleasure afterwards, is a good motto for the merchant. When the hot days in summer arrive, and the spring trade is over, the Western merchant should rest from his labours, and along with his family, take a hcjliday. His wife and little ones would show thereby healthier and happier faces, and he him- self, his mind relieved for a ime from business and its care, would be afterwards all the better able to grapple with difficulties, and successfully conduct business. There is no tour more calculated to be of service to the worn out and jaded merchant than that from CoUingwood to Lake Superior. The fresh cool breezes of these northern latitudes must impart new life and energy to the frame, and the picturesque and magnificent scenery of the route, unequalled on this continent, cannot fail to divert the mind, and elevate the conceptions, lifting man's thoughts 34 from nature unto nature, (iod."

In the second flat the display of Ribbons is rich and varied, and the dazzling and different hues and colors do much to set off the department. We find here also Parasols, Mantles, Trimmings, Bonnet fronts, Muslin and Jaconetts, Laces, Crapes, Netts, Falls, &c. The upper or fourth flat is entirely devoted to the display of Straw Goods, Flowers, Feathers, pattern bonnets and shapes, with bonnet ornaments and trimmings, — an assortment well worth inspection. The whole stock the most casual observer can see has been selected with care, and the wants of the Western trader have been carefully looked after. » The building is fitted up with a patent slide for the transfer of goods from the higher or intermediate to tliS iower flats, in a moat expeditious manner ; and with liberal termg and well assorted stock, we trust the firm will enjoy a large and extensive patronage. JOSEPH BARKER, MILLINERI AKD FANCY DRY GOODS. Mr. Joseph Barker commenced business in the beginning of the year a? a Wholesale Dealer in Millinery and Fancy Dry Goods, and he is almost the only one in the city dealing exclusively in that branch of business. The Warehouse is situated at No. 10 Wellington Street West. It is three stories high, is large and well lighted, and in every way adapted to the purposes for which it is used. The first flat is devoted to Straw Goods and Ribbons, which are made by the firm a speciality, and of which they have always a very large assortment on hand. Crape3],from 40c. upwards, black and colored, parasols in great variety, corsets, fancy handkerchiefs, velvet ribbons, hair nets, veils, lace gooda, mechUns, collars and cuffs, gloves, buttons, jet trimmings, bonnet and hat shapes, black and colored cloakings, and lace shawls. The second floor contains a large selection of Flowers, both British and French, by the packet, by the dozen, by the box, and by the spray ; mourning flowers in satin, silk, crape, Ac, r.~^ In the basement are stored the heavier class of goods, and on this flat arn the ex- 43 • tensive bonded warehouses. The second story is one nnbroken wareroom, a broad archway uniting what originally was two rooms, forming an excellent and well lighted sale room. In it are stored dress goods, silks, linens, muslins and all classes of fancy goods. The third story is taken up with woollen cloths, of all discription, from the medium price, Torkshirelto the finest West of England cloths, Scotch tweeds, &c., &c. Each department ic under the charge of » competent head, the whole being under the superintendence of Mr. Patnck Hughes, the senior partner of the firm. Mr. B. B. Hughes, a member of the firm, goes regularly twice a year to England, to buy goods, and from his long experience as a buyer, merchants can rely uponjalways finding a good assort- ment of the newest patterns and designs onihand. A visit to the warehouse, and a look through the immense stock of goods there exposed for sale, will go far to convince the Western merchant that he needjnot go further than Toronto to buy goods well and cheaply. PRINGLE Sf CO. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DRY GOODS IMPORTERS, STREET AND MARKET SQUARE. CORNER OF KINO This firm, about two years ago, commenced business in the above old stand, long celebrated in the occupancy of Mr. Walter McFarlane. The business of the firm increased so rapidly, that Messrs. Pringle & Co. soon found the prem- ises to small for their business, and accordingly they greatly enlarged the store- adding some fifty feet to its depth, putting in a new front, and otherwise vastly improving it, until it is now one of the finest business houses in Toronto. T^ie building occupies 30 feet on King Street and 136 on West Market Street, from both of which streets are entrances to the warehouse. Inside the scene is one of bustle and excitement,— piles of dry goods lie around in every direction, crowds of customers line the counters, a large staff of assistants are busy at work. The cash boys are running to and fro, and the din of voices is almost deafening. A handaome double staircase leads to the second floor, forming a room 150 feet long, divided into two departments, one of which is devoted to mantles, shawls, silks, and the richer class of dress goods, the other being usedaa a general clothing warehouse, where may be seen woollens, and all kinds of cloths suitable for gentlemen's dress. This floor occupies about 5000 super feet, and is magnificently fitted up in the most modern style. The third floor is of equal extent, and is occupied with carpets, general house-furnishing goods, and the reserve stock for the wholesale trade. The position Messrs. Pringle & Co., have already taken, and the facilities they possess for buying in the best markets, place them in a favorable position for serving customers well. Their large and varied stock offers splendid inducements to country merchants, pedlers and others, who may require well assorted parcels of lengths and quantities required ; the policy of the housi being to serve the million. Tourists and visitors to Toronto should visit Pnngie & Co. 44 it IRVING 8r THOMSON. The " Head Centre" of attraction for eager devourers of news and fiction ia tmdoubtedly the depot of Messrs. Irving & Thomson, the enterprising and oblig- ing wholesale and retail news dealers, corner of King and Jordan Streets. Having recently enlarged their premises, this worthy firm have iacilities for supplying the public with all the newspapers of the day, as well as the most recent books of the most popular authors of all countries, that are possessed by few in their line of business. Packages of newspapers, books. *•-> arrive hv every steamer from England, and they are daily receiving the pa current literature of our neighbours across the lakes. The want of a fli, „o whob- eale and retail news agency has been for many years felt in Toronto, and our citizens have shown but a just appreciation of the ability of Mr. Irving, who has had a long experience in the business, in the handsome patronage they are now bestowing on the firm. Mr. Thomson, the junior partner, is a gentleman of much experience in the fancy goods business, and with countey dealers has always been considered a "popular" man. To countiy newsdealers and booksellers, this firm ofier great facilities for the quick transaction of news-stuff, and our own citizens who want newspaper, stationery, S^.c, will do well to patronize Messrs. Irving & Thomson. W. A. MURRAY 8r CO. IMPORTERS OF DRY GOODS, v.,C. One of the oldest established importing firms in Toronto is that of W. A. Murray 4 A. Sr S. NORDHEIMER, IMPORTERS OP STEINWAY, CHICKERING, AND DUNHAM PIANOFORTES. FACTS ABOUT PIANOS. Without a Piano, what would become of our modern civilization ? Consider for a moment what an important part this instrument performs in the social economy of civilization. Consider how extensively it serves as a medium for expressing tlie whole range ot our emotions and sentiments. The disastrous con- sequences that would result from suddenly cutting off this organ of expression are almost incalculable. It would be like abolishing one-haJf of our language. Cei^ tainly our Pianoforte makers deserve to rank high among public benefactors. It would be an interesting investigation to trace the growth and influence of this instrument from ita first rude beginning to the present time. Its course has been parallel with that of modern culture, and the philosopher might almost find in ita successive modifications, from the first rude harp to its latest and most highly perfecteil descendant, a Chickering or a Steinway Grand, an epitome of the world's history for hundreds of years. It is, however, not our purpose to indulge in philosophical or desultory fancies about Pianos, but to note a few facts in con- niction with them of practical utility. Accordingly we proceed to state some ol the results of our experience, and particularly as to the purchase of a Piano. An instrument made of the very best material and workmanship, by a first-class maker, has proved, in our experience, the cheapest, although costing originally perhaps, a few dollars more than the more showy ones, by other Boakers. In buying therefore a Piano for musical purposes, get the best ; but if wanted only as a parlor ornament, where fine quality of tone and true sympathetic expression is no object, the cheapest will answer as well. There are, 'however, a number of Pianoforte makers who all profess to make the best instrument, and it is very diffi- cult for a buyer (exci^pt a thorough and high standing musician, whose opinion cannot be influenced by mercenary considerations.) to choose between them. The rule that ought to be adopt4?d is to patronise the most prominent malcers. bay from those who have the highest reputation, and whose popularity 'uas been of the longest standing. A popularity that has stood 20. 30. or 50 years, is certainly a muoli ^urtr iiwlcation of uniform excellence than one that dates back only a few 49 years. A sham reputation may sometimMi be built np by pufs and glaring advertisementa, paid testimonials, large commissions paid, and other tricks of charlatanry, of which the general public is not aware, and for a w!«^ SOHO FOUNDRY AND STEAM-ENGINE WORKS. DICKEY, NEILL & CO. Situated on Beverley Street, near the head of John, and but a few paces North of Queen Street West, is the above-named works, long known to the Canadiaa public, as one of the most successful Steam-Engine Manufactories in the country. The location is a favourable one, being within ten minutes' walk of the several railway depots. To a passer-by, the buildings themselves, bear evidence of the progressive character of the business for which they are used. All recent addi- tions (which we may remark are very extensive), being built with a special view to having them as nearly fire-proof as possible. At present the firm are engaged in erecting a very large and substantial wing, to the south of the original block — a three-story brick building with slate roof, 50 x 120 feet, and on the North wing a handsome suit of oflBces of the same material. On entering the gate the first object that strikes the view is a large brick building used as a forging shop where the sons of Vulcan, begrimed with dust and sweat, keep up an endless din. The foundry or smelting shop where the molten mass is passed into the sandy mould, is fitted up with cranes, furnaces, and hoisting machines, capable of doing the largest kind of work. We next visit the finishing shop, where amidst the whirl of pulleys and shafting, the several machines used for boring, turning, planing, shaping, and bolt cutting, are at work ; and aa nearly all these machines are self-acting, and perform iheir work with the greatest accu- racy, they suggest to the mind the idea that they are almost conscious. In the erecting shop we observe a great variety of machinery for both oil and water, and some twenty steam-engines, of various sizes and construction, from four to fifty horse power. Perhaps the most complete idea of the extent and variety of the work turned out by this establishment, is to be had by visiting the pattern shop ; here wheels and pulleys from twelve feet to six inches diameter, and every conceivi able variety of models for steam-engines, water-wheels, pumps, columns, pedestals, tobacco presses, ornamental fencing, &c., &c., are classified, and piled away. In the boiler shop are situated the ponderous machines for cutting, punching, and rolling the plates, and complete corps of workmen are here at work in the deafen- \ 58 ing busineaa of boiler making. The boilers are all tested by water or steam bpfnr^ To onto, there were no railroads in Canada, and comparatively few steam-enl^ L V.1 r "f ^°*"""^ P'^'-P^^^- They were the first to introduce the MaT' o^ the valve for the purpose of economising fuel by working the steam expansivX a prmc^le they have since carried to the high Jt degree'of perfection Tnt^^. five d,fferont establishments in the city of Toronto, the macWnery is driven bj S bmld of engmea, and on the line of the Northern railroad alone, they have er^^ more than hf^ steam-engines and mills, moat of which are in ^ucce^ful op S to-day.

From Mr. Lailey's long experience in the clothing trade, and by his keeping only aucb goods as are well suited to the wants of the country, he is enabled to compete successfully with dealers in other markets, and is favorably known to those who are considered close buyers, both in Montreal and Toronto. Mr. Lailey aims at keeping always in stock clothing in good saleable styles, at prices that will leave a good margin to the country dealer ; but, while always ready to meet the demands for the latest styles, he does not neglect the wants of that numerous class who do not follow the ex- tremes of fashion. Mr. lAiley is about to increase his facilities for manufacturing, in order more fully to meet the demands of his increasing business, His goods of British manufacture are all bought by himself personally, or by a buyer in the English markets.] J. G. JOSEPH & CO., WHOLESALE IMPORTERS OF WATCHES, JEWELLERY AND FANCY GOODS. This firm is among the oldest houses in the above trade in Toronto. They have been established over 28 years, and since they first commenced to the present time the business has steadily increased, until it is now second to none. For a number of years the firm confined themselves entirely to the retail branch of their business. To purchase an article from them was a guarantee of its genu- ineness, and this, on account of the difficulty those not acquainted with the trade experience in judging valuable articles, established their reputation. Within the last five years they have added the wholesale business to their retail, and by con- ducting it in the manner that has won for them so favorable a reputation as retail merchants, Ihey have been able to increase it, until they have now theii' whtylesale warehouse separate from the retail. THK LONDON AND PARIS R0D8B. The retail branch is situated on King street, three doors east of Yonge, and is considered one of the best business stands in the city. The firm have fitted it up in the most elegant and costly style. The first floor extends some 85 feet in depth, «nd contains one of the finest stocks of watches, fine gold jewellery, silver ware, electro-plate and general fancy goods in the Province, llie second floor ie approached by an elegant winding staircase, and is fitted up as a show-room for cricketing and archery goods, croquet, bagatelle boards, and various other games and fancy ware. This may be considered, and really is, among the handsomest etores in the city, and Toronto may feel proud of it, as there is nothing nearer than New Tork to surpass it. The rear portion is fitted up as a workshop, where are manufactured every description of silver ware, jewellery, &c. We believe this is the only firm in To- ronto who manufacture their silver cups, &c., for presentation, on their own TirPTDiaPH and untler f.hptr nwn imniA<1in.fp annpriniondonoA.

We particularly recommend all who ▼isit the city not to leave without going through the establishment, to show which always aflfords pleasure to the firm. THE WHOLKSALE DEPARTMENT. The firm have had erected at No. 47 Yonge street, comer of Wellington street, a splendid three-stoiy brick building, withfcut stone front and plate glass windows, which they devote to their wholesale business. The establishment is fitted with every convenience for carrying on business. A member of the firm visita the best markets in Great Britain and Europe twice every year, and pur- ehases all goods direct from the manufecturers, and not from commission houses. Watchmakers and jewellers throughout the Province may therefore rely that they will always be supplied with reliable articles, as new in style, and at as cheap rates as can be done by any other house in the trade. To Messrs. Joseph & Co. may be given the credit of establishing a first-class legitimate trade in watches and jewellery in Toronto, and thereby keeping much of the trade of Upper Canada from Mouireal houses. In the article of watches, they only import those made by the best manufacturers. From their practical knowledge ol the trade, they are enabled to discriminate between those of good and bad makers, and are thug enabled to supply superior watches at a price lower than those of unprincipled makers, who seek to establish a reputation by putting on their watches names of manufacturers who never made them. They have won the confidence of the trade of Canada West so thoroughly, that in almost every town they now have custom- era whom they supply. They are agents for the best English and Swiss watchmakers, and furnish the goods at the same rates as if buyers imported them direct. They also import largely of French fancy goods, clocks, electro-plated ware, Brittannia metal goods, Ac, and we may safely say that the trade cannot find a more reliable house to deal with. MESSRS, JAQUES, TRACY Sr CO., FORWARDERS. This firm is among the oldest forwarding firms in Canada. The business was first estabhshed in 1825, when steamers were unknown on Lake Ontario, and before the St. Lawrence canals were built. In these days goods were transported by means of the old French bateau, and over portages. Did space permit, we might enlarge upon the vicissitudes which forwarders had to endure in these early days of Canadian commerce, and on the difficulties which this firm had to con- tend with as pioneers of steamboat navigation on the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontano. They now own the largest fieet of freight steamboats trading between Montreal and Canada West, one of their boats leaving each end of the route daily, thus afi-ording to merchants prompt and satisfactory despatch, both for produce down and merchandize upwards. The confidence enjoyed by the firm in wmmercial circles ia proved by the fact thut many of the largest and most 56 respectable houses in Canada West have done business with them for over thirty years. To merchants who import direct from Europe they ofier very superior advantages, having a large staff of clerks in Montreal, whose sole duty it is to perform the custom-house work of the firm, and to receive goods from ocean ves- sels. Mr. Jaques, sen., and Mr. Tracy conduct the business of the firm in Mon- treal, and Mr. Wm. Henry Jaques superintends the business in Canada West, having his headquarters in Toronto, with agents at all important ports throughout the Upper Province. Mr. Stephen T. Cattley acts as agent in Hamilton, Mr. James 0. Guy at Oshawa, Mr. Thomas Christie at Bowmanville, Messrs. Ander- son & Ford at Kingston, Mr. J. D. Purkiss at Prescott, and Mr. John Anderson at Quebec. The line consists of the following well-known first-class steamers :— Huron Taylor, Master.

The Boiler is made of heavy plate, with fire box 4 feet 6 inohes in length, and has a proportionately larger heating surface than any-other Boiler in use ; it has wrought iron water space in front likea LocSSo- tive Boiler, giving additional heating surface, and doing away with the cast iron front, which is a constant source of trouble from its liability to fracture, besides detracting from the heating surface. The Engine is built on a strong caat iron frame, aU complete and independent of the Boiler ; two platforms are bolted on the centre of the Boiler ; with planed surface on top, on which the Engine is placed, and from which it can be removed at pleasure, thus preventing any side strain or unequal weight, as in the case of Engines bolted on the side of the Boiler.
