To every admirer of real curiosities.  The noted Willliam

Golden-Hill, fitted up in a genteel manner, where he
proposes to divert the company, every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, by exhibiting his art of dexterity of hand, after a
new method different from other performers.  Likewise he
will make it his chief study to divert the company by
introducing Mr. Punch and his merry family, with new
alterations every evening.  Likewise his Italian Shade, so
much admired in Europe: He has taken proper care to have the
room well aired, and all accommodation for the reception of
those who chuse to favour him with their company.  N.B.
