OXFORD ARMS INN and COMMERCIAL
HOTEL,' KINGTON.
EDWARD ELLIS, the present and sole proprietor of ail;
Hotel, conceives it to be necessary to the advancement of the future
interests of the Establishment, upon which he has so recently
entered,to state distinctly, and thus publicly, that the business in
its various departments will be conducted under his own immediate
and personal superintendence, and he anxiously avails himself of
the earliest opportunity to assure the Nobility, Gentry, Commercial,
and Agricultural public, that it will at all times be his first and
earnest desire to seem e the unqualified approbation of those who
may be pleased to honour him with their patronage, by pursuing a
liberal and just course in the general management of the establish-
ment, blended with that respectful attention to the comforts of
visitors to the Hotel, which he has ever regarded as a duty strictly
imposed upon those who seek public favor.
Being determined to act upon those professions, E. Ellis relies
with confidence upon public support and encouragement.

THE ZINCED or., GALVANIZED IRON
COMPANY. _

Capital £250,000, in Shares of £2O each.
Deposit El per Share.
The principle involved in the galvanization of metals, and the appli-
cability of zinc to protect iron from oxidation, has long been known to
the scientific world. Several of the most eminent philosophers and
chymists of Europe have recognised its accuracy, and have bestowed
great labour, time, and attention on the subject, the object being the
practical adaptation of the discovery to purposes of public benefit and
general utility.
This desideratum has been accomplished, and the promoters of this
Company, confident of the vast advantage that would accrue to the ma-
ritime, commercial, and manufacturing interest of the empire by the
general introduction and use of zinced or galvanized iron, as also of the
efficiency and originality of the process which will be employed by the
Managers of the Company for the protection of metals against oxidation,
are satisfied that they can enter into economical and successful rivalry
with every other establishment aiming at the same object.
The manufacture of zinc, or speltre, has long had their most devoted
consideration, and the smelting and manufacture of iron in all its varie-
ties, is a. branch of commerce in which they were educated.

In the manufacture of zinc they have arrived:at an important praci
tical improvement, by which the metal produced is fully equal to the
German, by which the price of production is materially diminishes, ana
by which the quantity of ceal required in the smelting of the olende is
greatly reduced; thus effecting economy of time, labour, and fuel, a
feature equally affecting the interest of the manufacturer as of the
consumer of one of the principal stapler of commerce.

Assisted by some eminent practical chymists, they have made a series
of experiments, proving the value and accuracy of the principle of gal-
vanisation, and its rneral applicabilityto all cases where iron requires
protection against oxidation, whether by exposure to atmospheric damp
or immersion.

'1 value of the discovery, and its general uliity, have already been
testcd in France, by the high premiums which the shales in the zinced
and g .Ivanized metal Companies have borne and sustained in the
Pari:.:n market, and no doubt can be entertained that in this great
commercial and maritime nation, where the economical application of
the In inciple must prove so eminently beneficial, the object accomplished
will I.L, likewise sustained by public approbotion and support.

Th.^ Prospectus, with Certificates, proving the extensive practical
utility of the process exclusively possessed by this Company, and which
has b, en adopted in her Majesty's Dock-yards, for the prevention of the
Oxidation of Metals, will be ready for delivery on or before SATURDAY
Next.

Applications for the remaining shares to be made by letters, post paid,
addressed to the Provisional Committee of Management, at 31, St.
Swithin's-lane. JAMES WILSON, Secretary.
