NEW INVENTION.—THE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.—A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can' hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Itudhall
and Co., IS the bent We have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a sebond inirettEd.barrdli above the itriting nib; and this barrel
can be taken otiit at. any time, so the pert can be kept perfectly
cleaniVithat y bluinte Of being chtrqd6cl. Affother,fetitute

quick writing. The pen itself Is of the finest deSeriptiati, anti
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried.this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
'; re all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour,
