MANAGING DIRECTOR.—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
to which commerce can be carried.
The improvements introduced by the patentee in connexion with
lamps 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 ern, which, for illuminating power, are unapproached, and
exhibit principles in s,.iience never before brought into practice in the
production of light fr.an coal gas.
The estimated value of the articles connected with the production
of light annually sold in the United Kingdom, and the manufacture
and salt ot which will engage he atteiAion of the Company, is about
3 000,000/. 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 sitisfled that at least 20 per
cent. per annum will be insured to the shareholders.
The cApital of the Company Rill become immediately reproductive
in the extJision of its manufactures—the present returns exceeding
20,000/. per annum , and a dividend will be payable to the share-
holders at the end of the first six months.
The eminent success attendant upon the adoption of commercial
undei takings similar to the present, such as gas companies, Price's
Patent candle Copany, which last year paid a divid Iper
cent., and carried m 4,2291. 5s bd. to the reserv, fund,end andof others,
afford a strong guarantee for the successful operation of this Com-
pany.

THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
FECTIN, FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLOvIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses. Stables, Dog Ken-
nels, Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, W ater-closets, &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 has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal apnlication as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, 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 purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels
at 65. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. 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.
