MANAGING DIII6CTOR.--Mr. Richard Clark, 447. Strand.
This Company is formed to carry out upon a more extensive scale
the very valuable patented and other inventions connected with the
production of light.
Commercial undertakings are the best of any calculated to prosper,
for while there is a certain restriction upon the income of railways
and other speculations of the same kind, there Is no bound to the
extent to which commerce can be carried.
The improvements Introduced by the patentee in connexion with
lames and lighting in general, consist in the production of the ver-
tical, diamond, pearl, and other lamps of the most perfect construc-
tion for his country, surpassing all British and foreign manufac-
tures ; a complete set of lamps for India and the colonies, and patent
gas bur- ers, which, for illuminating powe-, are unapproached, and
exhibit principles in science never before brought into practice in the
production of light from coal gas.
The estimated value of the articles connected with the production
of light annually sold in the United Kingdom, and the manufacture
and sale of which will engage the attet,tion of the Company, is about
3.000,0001 And assuming that 100,000/. only of this trade falls into
the Company's hands (an xtremely low estimate), the Directors,
after the most careful calculation, are satisfied that at least 20 per
cent. per annum will be insured to the shareholders.
The cspital of the Company will become immediately reproductive
in the extension of its manufactures—the present returns exceeding
20,000/. per annum , and a dividend will be payabie to the share-
holders at the end of the first six months.
The errunent success attendant upon the adoption of commercial
undertakings s,milar to the present, such as gas companies, Price's
Patent ( 'andle Company, which last year paid a dividend of 10 per
cent., and carried '24,229/. 5s bd. to the reserv, fund, and others,
afford a strong guarantee for the successful operation of this Com-
pany.
Applications for shares in the annexed form may be made to the
Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 36, Moorgate-
street, and 447, S rand ; the Solicitor, 33, Essex-street, Strand ; at
Messrs. Brunton and son's, stock and shire brokers, south Gallery,

THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
PECTIN.- FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLOIiIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses. Stables, Dog Ken-
nels, Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains W Dwelling-houses.
&c. ; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.
Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it hex
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifytng
agent, the present n;anufactitirer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest parity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chemists and Shippinx Agents in the United Kirg-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels
at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
andause. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.
Orders executed by the Sole Agents, Messrs. Drew, Heyward, and
Barron, Bush-lane, Cannon street.
