BRITISH WATERPROOFING COM-
PANY, 432, WEST STRAND, near the L•wther
Arcade.

The Directors of this Company invite the attention of the
public to the following report received from the Commissioners
to the Metropolitan Police Force, addressed to H. C. Moreton
Dyer, Esq., one of the Directors of this Company :
" Metropolitan Police Office, Whitehall-place, 2.3 d Feb. 1839.
" Sir,—The Commissioners of Police beg to acknowledge
.the receipt of your letter of the 16th instant, requesting to be
informed of the reports made by the police constables who
have been wearing the clothing prepared and waterproofed by
the British Waterproofing Company.
" The Commissioners have to acquaint you, in reply, that
one suit has been in the use of a constable whose beat is situa-
ted on Blackheath. He reports that frequently during the month
of January he was out in six hours successive rain without
getting the least damp underneath the clothing; that, on
the night of the Bth instant it rained the whole nine hours he
was on duty, and that when he took off his great coat, in the
presence of the sergeant at the station, it was found as dry in-
side as when he put it on ; that since he wore the waterproof
clothing he has been out in as much wet as at one time would
have saturated three suits of the ordinal), clothing. The other
police constable is situated at Kingsland. He reports that he
has worn the waterproofed clothing night and day, and has
been under severe rain and snow storms, none of which pene-
trated any part of his clothing, except a little wet through one
of the legs of the trousers, on the first day he put them on, but
since then he has observed nothing more of it.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
" C. ROWAN."
Agents continue to be appointed to all parts of the kingdom.
