THE ZINCED or GALVANIZED IRON
COMPANY.
Capital £230,000, in Shares of £2O each.
Deposit £1 per Share.
The principle involved in the galvanization of ,metals, and the appli.
eability 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
nit!) every other establishment aiming at the same object.
The manufacture of zinc, or speltre, has long had their most devoted
coniideration, and the smelting and manufacture of iron in all its varie_
tics, is a branch of commerce in which they were educated.
In the manufacture of zinc they have arrived at an important prac-
tical improvement, by which the metal produced is fully equal to the
German, by which the price of production is materially diminished, and
by which the quantity of coal 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 staples 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-
vanization, and its general applicabilityto all cases where iron requ ices
protection against oxidation, whether by exposure to atmospheric damp
or immersion.

The value of the discovery, and its general uliity, have already been
tested in France, by the high premiums which the shares in the zinced
and galvanized metal Companies have borne and sustained in the
Parisian market, and no doubt can be entertained that in this great
commercial and maritime nation, where the economical application of
the principle must prove so eminently beneficial, the object accomplished
will be likewise sustained by public approbotion and support.
A detailed prospectus is in preparation, and will speedily be published.
Applications for the remaining shares to be made by letters, post paid,
addressed to tho Provisional Committee of Management, at 21, St.
Swithin's-lane. JAMES WILSON, Secretary.
