LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the IVA liberal patronage he has received for so many years, and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted upon them under the various denominations of BEST PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH," " PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-FACED STARCH," " SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &C. These invariably disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as his make; and he begs further to caution them against pur chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be distinguished from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when exposed to the atmosphere. It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr. HALL took out a Patent for his invention before he brought the article to the perfection for general use to which it has now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the case, their premises and situation would not be suitable. Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully requestel to ask for HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH. No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it. &c. in the Ki ng d om. P ATEN T STARCH WORKS, Wh o l esa l e Agents, J. and R. RAIMES and C o. , Edi rr b urg h .

Adjoining the House of Lords is a publi c -h ouse which enjoys the exclusive patronage of the coachmen and footmen in waiting upon the hereditary wisdom of the empire. Some years ago it was discovered that one-third of these motley gentlemen rejoiced in the name of Smith, one-sixth in the name of Brown, and one-sixth in the name of Jones, whilst the remaining third had their patronymics from the varied columns of Pigot's Directory. In order to remedy the confusion consequent uon this unfortunate similarity of names, it was enacted : p " That on and from the 12th day of June, 1839, every member of this Honourable Public -house shall be spoken of and bpoisen to by the title and designation of the fortunate indivi hi dual who has the honour o f paying him his wages, and supplying m his livery.

PATENT TRANSPARENT INDIAN CORN STARCH, REQUIRES neither Boiling nor Straining, in Packages of Ilb., Ilb., Ilb., and Id. each.

The stiffness is retained in the most humid atmosphere, and the satiny gloss, which, of all other Starch, this alone imparts, remains to the last. It is only necessary to mix a table spoonful of it in a pint of boiling water, and upwards of a pint of liquid Starch, of the most translucent splendour, will be immediately produced, at a cost of little more than One Farthing ! Manufactured only by SAUNDERSON and LITTLE, The Patentees, London. WHOLESALE AGENT, Mr. J. SAUNDERSON, 2, Cook-street, Liverpool. RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling_of fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Papers of Ac compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all combustible materials, that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused in again in viting public notice to their Patent Fire-resisting Deposito ries. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the principal towns, they have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties; and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investigation into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen, to whom permission of reference is kindly given , THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER, BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq., L. GRAHAM, Esq., R. FRODSHAM, Esq., WM. STOCK, Esq.. S. Woons, jun., Esq. The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle:— Trial of Milner's Patent Fire -Resisting Principle, as a Protection of Gunpowder from Fire. Liverpool, June 20th, 1842. We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Milner's Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of twelve inches external, and six inches Internal diameter and height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and a packet of Gunpowder. The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting of five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity of wood, and remained therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of intense beat. Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor occupying the chamber of each cell. In proof of the intense heat of the fire, the wood was wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into coke, and the bricks upon which the fire was made were taken out red hot.
