13ASTENNE BITUMEN COMPANY.
This Company is prepared to undertake every description
of WORK to which Bitumen is adapted, or to SELL the manu-
factured Mastic ready for use, with the necessary instructions for
its application.
Bitumen has been known and applied as a Cement for many cen-
turies, but recent discoveries, and the experience of new combina-
tions with the mineral tar, have incalculably enhanced its value for
a great variety of purposes.
The Directors request the attention of all persons interested in
The construction of Railways, Bridges, and Docks, to the advan-
tages which they will derive from the use of their BITUMEN. As
a Cement in binding arches it is incontestibly superior to any
known substance, and, being impervious to damp, it is of equal
utility for Pavings, Stations, Waiting Places, and where dryness
and an uninterrupted equality of surface is so desirable. Speci-
mens of foot-pavement laid down by the Bastenne Company, may
be seen opposite Northumberland House, Blackfriars-bridge, the
,Government Works at Woolwich, and the Rotunda of the Bank of
England, where, contrasted with the best Yorkshire stone, the
advantages will be found manifest.
This Company have an exclusive right to the best and most pro-
ductive known mines of this valuable material—a value, the supe-
riority of which is tacitly admitted by the other Asphalte Corn-
fanies, Claridge's, the Liverpool Seyssel, and the Val de Travers,
aving purchased supplies from the Bastenne Company in England,
and the sales of the material on the Continent are to a large and
rapidly increasing extent.
The great desideratum in street-paving is a waterproof surface,
with the mass so solid and compact as prevent friction at the bot-
tom, where experience has proved that the wear and tear is much
greater when the squares or blocks are loosened. The Company
feel assured they have accomplished this object in their experiment
on the carriage-way in Oxford-str!et ; and they are also satisfied
that it would prove the practicability of, in a great measure, reliev-
ing the public from the annoyance of mud in winter, and dust in
summer were the loose materials not transferred from the stone-
paving and Macadamized roads in the vicinity.
Specimens of Ornamental Pavement, suitable for Entrance Halls,
Conservatories, &c. &c., can be seen at the Office of the Company,
where a Scale of Prices, together with all necessary information re-
lative to the application of the material to all the various purposes,
Thay be obtained.

BASTENNE BITUMEN COMPANY.
The Shareholders are informed that Messrs. M. A. GOLD-
SMID, ROWAND RONALD, and MONTEFIORE, have been
obliged to RESIGN their SEATS in the Direction of theCom-
>any ; the two former in consequence of their intended residence
abroad, and the latter from indispensable private engagements.
The works of the Company have hitherto given the most perfect
satisfaction to the management ; and no doubt is entertained of the
advantages of Bitumen for all the purposes for which it has been
recommended, nor of the ultimate success of the undertaking.
11The
, funds placed at the disposal of the Direction are sufficient for
The
Purposes required, without any call upon the Shareholders.
he sales of the Tar on the Continent are rapidly increasing,
and
t e'crY effort continues to be made by the Agents of the Company
extend the knowledge of its value, which there is no doubt will
ultimately insure ample profits ; and the Directors feel the most
perfect confidence in the successful application of the Bitumen to a
great variey of purposes during the ensuing season.
A Publitc Meeting of the Shareholders will be held in the
month of May, when the state of the Accounts will be submitted,
and by which time Reports will be received of the success which
has attended the various experiments made on the Government
'works, parochial and other paving, &c.
