THE BRITISH GALVANIZATION OF
METAL COMPANY.
Capital, 200,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 201.
Deposit, 21. per Share.
The object of this Company is the manufacture and sale of a
metallic preparation, hitherto) unknown in this country, to pre-
serve iron and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and
process of which are secured by patent.
In England where these metals are so extensively used, and their
preservation from rust is of such manifest importance, the esta-
blishment of this Company cannot fail to be of the greatest in-
terest ; and an enumeration of a few of the various objects capable
of being preserved by this invention will at once shew the extensive
field opened for its operation.
Iron rails, pins, screws, and other articles used in railways. The
bright parts of the machinery connected with locomotive engines
which are necessarily exposed to the weather. The filed and
bright parts, as well as the steam-boilers, of marine engines. Water
tanks for vessels of war and other ships. Chain cables, ship's bolts,
knees, and all other iron works used in ship-building; likewise
copper-sheathing ; all sorts of iron fixed or used in damp or wet
situations, as mines, docks, wharfs, &c. &c. Nails, screws, and all
iron-work used in oat-buildings. All copper and brass vessels used
for culinary purposes.
Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro-
moters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment,
in order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of
scientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and
most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public,
as an andertaking which cannot fail to yield large profits.
A prospectus, with ample details, will be immediately issued.
Applications for shares may be addressed, until the 2d of May, to
the Provisional Committee, care of William Paterson, Esq., Soli-
citor, 68, Old Bread-street ; Thomas T. Maws, Esq., Solicitor,
4, New Bridge-street; or at the Offices, 83, Cornhill, where Spe-
cimens of the invention may be seen.

The Composition of the Patent Elastic Bitumen is the discovery
of Monsieur Polonceau, Inspecteur Divisionnaire du Corps Royal
des Ponta et Chaussees, who, by his public Works on the Continent
(among which are the Pont du Carrousel at Paris, and the Roads of
the Col de Lautaret and the Simplon), has acquired a high reputa-
tion throughout Europe.
Monsieur Polonceau has succeeded in producing a Bituminous
composition, which for cheapness, strength, and durability, far
exceeds any hitherto known; and possesses this great advantage
over every other—the materials of which it is composed are all
found in England, So highly is the discovery estimated iu
France, that the authorities in Paris have entered into contracts
with 111, Polonceau for its application to the carriage-way of the
Boulevard des Capuchines. the Rue de la Paix, and other car-
riage-roads in that city, which he is now actively engaged in car-
rying into effect.
Polonceau's Elastic Bitumen is applicable to the construction of
carriage-roads and pavements, roofing of buildings, fl boring of halls,
churches, stables, &c.
Being impervious to vermin and damp it can be used with ad-
vantage and economy in the construction of granaries, warehouses,
docks, drains, baths, &c.
To secure the exclusive benefit of this discovery to the yroposed
Company, patents have been taken out for the Uniteu Kingdom,
which have been assigned over in treat for this Company.
The object of the Company will be to obtain the advantages
which, it is presumed, must arise from the exclusive use of se im-
portant a material in this country.
Application for Shares (post-paid) may be made in London to
Messrs. Murrays and Rymer, 59, Chancery-lane; and in Liverpool
to Messrs. Davenport and Collier, Lord-street; and Mr. Joseph
King, Exchange-buildings, on or before the Ist of May.

at the CABINET-MAKERS' SOCIETY, 71, LEADEN-
IIALL-STREET, Enrolled agreeably to Act of Parliament ;
being real manufacturers in all its branches. The system upon
which this is conducted precludes the possibility of competition for
cheapness, quality, and durability, as not any house in London can
manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thorougly
understood, that_they do not receive hawked or other goods for sale,
like the bazaars and haberdashers ; but they make
every article
themselves, which enable them confidently to warrant their goods
of the very best materials. If any fault appear it will be made
good, free of all charge for twelve months. A trial is earnestly
solicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which
the merits and decided advantages of purchasing at this establish-
ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the
support of industrious mechanics, the funds of valich
provide for
its members in old age and burial, they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
For ready mony only and no abatement.

• COLOMBIA, I, Wellington-street, Strand, London.
To preserve the human hair has been for a long time the unsucces,ful
pursuit of innumerable Chemists and Naturalists, and .Ithough there
have beets various compounds profess.ng to accomplish this desirable end,
:till nothing really capable of restoring and ?reserving one of the most
baalitiful of nature's gifts was discovered until 18?1, when the result of
a series of experiments tried foi- a long previous per Lid upon persons of all
ages and constitutions, fully established the infallible virtues of this most
potent restorative.
The wonderful virtues of this inestimable compound in restoring the
hair t,i its pristine beauty, and the certainty with which its conservative
agency operates in preserving it to the latest period, has received, as might
iiilegtely from

who have experienced its effects.
