MONTHLY COMPENDIUM OF LITERARY, FASHIONABLE, AND DOMESTIC ADVERTISEMENTS; For AUGUST 1, 1807, and to be continued Monthly. THIS department of our Work, will exhibit a perspicuous display of such Advertisements of any length whateve, as shall be sent to us, on or before the 25th day of every Month, for insertion, on the Terms usually paid to the most respectable Newspapers. It will be needless to expatiate at much length on the advantages this plan will afford, in preference to any other mode whatever of advertising; as it must be sufficiently obvious to every person, that Adver tisements thus printed, in a Work of Elegance, will not only be introduced into the most extensive and polished Circles of Society monthly-but will also be bound up, and transmitted in this Work to posterity, as a record of the Commercial and Fashionable Concerns of the present Times. TO THE LADIES. THOMAS and Co. respectfully inform the Nobility and Ladies of Taste and Fashion, that they have, (through the medium of Mrs. Thomas), introduced into their Show Rooms a great variety of elegant and useful articles, in Mantles, Pelice Coats, Morning, Dinner, and Evening Dresses, with every description of elegant and fashionable Millinery for the Spring Season, suitably adapted for Routs, Balls, the Opera, &c. most of which will be found to excel, in point of taste and ele. gance, the collection found in any other house in London, Amongst which are suudety articles for Ladies Dress not to be found elsewhere. The whole of the above are kept in all sizes; so that Ladies, or Gentlemen having Ladies commissions, may be immediately accommodat ed. A great variety of new and prime Straw Hats and Bonnets, of their own manufacture. T. and Co. take this opportunity of recommending every article generally kept by Haberdashers; also a large and elegant assort ment of Shawls, with cheap and elegant Fancy Muslins; but in the present instance, particularly their Hosiery, Dress Gloves, and elegant and cheap Dress Fans. Also a new Thread Veil at the low price of 15s. sufficiently wide and deep, and much adapted for Mantles, which is allowed by impartial connoisseurs to be the best resemb lance hitherto produced to a real French Thread Veil, and at one third the price of the Silk Patent Veils.Warranted both to wash well and wear well. STAYS, BY HER MAJESTY's STAY-MAKER, The elastic cotton long Stay invented by Mrs. HARMAN, who alone can make them in their genuine perfection. These so much admired Stays obviate every objection complained of in Patent Stays, not being subject to the disagreeable necessity of lacing under the arm, or having knitt gores, so very elastic as to be in effect no stay or support whatever. Mrs. Harman's Stays adapted to give the wearer the true Grecian form, must be seen to give Ladies an adequate idea of their beauty and utility, therefore Mrs. H. has various sizes ready to send for the inspection of those Ladies who live at a distance from London. Those Ladies living at a distance from London or Bath, applying by letter, (post paid) will be informed of the proper method to send their measure for Stays, No. 18, New Bond street, London; or No. 6, Westgate Buildings, Bath. [624 TO THE LADIES. A Card -J. DELCROIX, has the honour of informing the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, that after a variety of Chemical Experiments and intense application, he has discovered the incomparable Vegetable CREAM DE SULTANES, a preparation which, for embellishing the skin and heightening the charms of personal beauty, is unrivalled. It is the only prepara❤ The proprietor can tion of the kind ever known. N. B. Thomas and Co. have consigned to them, from the first manufactures in the kingdoin, upwards of 500 dozen of superfine and prime Ladies Silk and Cotton Hose, which they sell in no less quantities than three pair of each sort, but at such prices as will yield to the purchaser an advantage of from one to two shillings on each pair.

Any Lady of respectability in want of a real Friend at the hour of anxiety and peril may meet with one, who (presumingly, says she), studies to combine elegance of manners with strict secrecy, attention and refined delicacy to the utmost minutia. Any Female involved in distress from an expectation of inevitable dishonour, may obtain consolation and security, by addressing a line (post paid), to Mrs. Grimstone, No. 18, Broad-street, Golden-square, when a private interview with the Advertiser will be appointed.

He has brought to perfection a Flageolet capital. as large as a full sized German Flute, the tone of which has been approved by all who have heard it, it is called the Cromatic Albion Flute; it has by one simple contrivance the power to produce every half tone that can be played, and as easy as any other note, it requires no exertion to play it. W. Bainbridge has the pleasure to inform the Public, the same easy plan is now added to his Octavo Flageolet. He likewise cautions the Public against a daring attempt to make them believe that others have made improve ments on his first Patent, granted in 1805, but he challenges any one to produce one improvement in fingering or in tone, or any improvement. I wish the Public to examine those pretended new Flageolets, and compare them with his old improvents in 1802, and they will find that in this large Metropolis there are men that will say any thing to impose on the Public. [636 RESOLUTIONS OF FORMING A NATIONAL LIGHT AND HEAT COMPANY. At a numerous and respectable Meeting, held on Friday, at the Crown and Anchor, Strand,-Agreed unanimously, That it appeared from a detailed official Experiment made with Mr. WINDSOR's PATENT LIGHT AND HEAT STOVE, that it can be used without danger or difficulty-saves the whole produce or value estimated by him-and offers the richest prospect of national and individual benefit.

In consequence of the above Resolutions, the scale of 10s. deposits is closed; but the subscription of 11. and upwards, remains open a few weeks longer, till the first 15,000 deposits are complete, when the terms of subscription will be advanced at least 50 per cent.
