MESSRS. WINKS AND HALL'S NEW PREMISES.

We have much pleasure in drawing attention to these new premises, which are now rapidly approaching completion. They are situate immediately above Messrs. Winks and Hall's old premises, and were formerly known as the Crescent Hotel. The building haa, however, undergone very considerable alterations, to adapt it to the requirements of Messrs. Winks and Hall's business. The whole ot the storey on the street level has been converted into a spacious show-room, by the removal of the numerous partitions, and the walls and ceiling have been repainted and papered. The front portion of this floor, which measures 7o feet m depth by 33 feet in ■width, will be used a» a furniture show-room, the rearward portion being set apart as a carpet and floor-cloth room. There is a spacious yard at the back, which will be used for stowing timber, in order to allow it to season, as material for household furniture. Contiguous to this yard, and communicating with it by a side door, is the large workshop behind Messrs. Winks and Hall's former warehouse. Beneath the new show-room there is a number of apartments formerly used as bed-rooms. These, having been somewhat modified, will be appropriated as mattress-makera v room, polishers' room, storage rooms, &c. A side door on the west side of the show-room communicates with a flight of stairs leading to the second floor. Hero is a large upholstery, and another room for storage of goods which are required to be kept free from damp. There is also above this a feather and hair store. Altogether these premises are peculiarly well suited to Messrs. Winks and Hall's extensiva business, the various departments being so arranged as to conduce to convenience and efficiency. The alterations have been carried out by Messrs. Matthews and Bartley, and the manner in which the work has been executed is highly creditable to them.

The Toilet. — The duties of the toilet, and the due preservation of the gifts of Nature, are so intimately associated with the preservation, of our health and well-being, that it is impossible to neglect their important claims without paying a severe penalty for our negligence and want of care. Among the most important objects which claim our notice in this respect, the hair, the skin, and the teeth, obviously require the most sedulous attention. For the whole of these the perseverance and success of Mesai'S. Rowland have provided specifics of unfailing efficacy and virtue. The celebrated Macassar has obtained universal celebrity — has been celebrated by the lays of the poet, and is patronised by rank, beauty, and fashion for its inimitable qualities in preserving the hair in a state of healthfulnees and beauty. The skin has, in like manner, claimed their attention; and in the production of their Kalydor they have achieved a discovery no less beneficial to that delicate and vital portion of our frame. The same result has been achieved with, their Odonto or Pearl Dentifrice—which, as a preserver and beautifier of tb.» teeth and gums, stands unrivalled by any dentifrice of past or present times. To be obtained at most of the principal stores and chemists' shopa throughout the country.
