NO CHANGE.
Im spito of tho humane decision of a paternal Government to relieve us of another 11 per cent, cf duty, the' prico of the " correct time," i.e. tlie Waterbury, will not bo changed this season. The gentleman who longs lor accurate time, and possesses tho necessary thirteen and sixpence, can still walk "into the establishment of onr agents and demand a brand new Waterbury, and como away fully satisfied that lie has secured the best time keeper on earth for \\h money. The Waterbury is a plain nickel-cased waCch with a thoroughly reliable movement ; and is built for use. The man who spends ten times the money on a patent double-barrelled Brummagem jewelled sccond-splittmg chronograph gets more glitter but le?s value, and needs to make a contract with the jeweller fco keep it in order for say a third of his income if he wants to be fairly near the time.
