METAL COMPANY.
Capital, 200,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 20/.
Deposit, 21. per Share.
The object of this Company is the manufacture and sale of
Metallic preparation, hitherto unknown in this country, to pre-
serve il-on and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and
pros' 55 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-
lishment 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 neeessarily 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 (lamp or wet
Isituations as mines, docks, wharfs, Sz.e. &c. Nails, screws, and all
,r°o-work used in out-buildings. All copper and brass vessels used
for 'culinary purposes.
Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro-
!noters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment,
Itt order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of
%cientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and
most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public,
atiatt undertaking which cannot fail to yield large profits.
pros pec tus with ample details, will be immediately issued.

It"ni...''r cautioning the public against this Company appeared in.an.
ti!.43mous form, the Provisional Committee deemed it unworth) of 4"(7111r notice, but the time has at length arrived when some explana-
" is due to their Shareholders and the public at large.
th;°°tne time back, and until a very recent period, the promoters of
patse_,°lll. pally were in treaty with the French proprietors of Sorel 's
pokin°l, in order to introduce it into the United Kingdom ; but upon
ig the opinion of an eminent English engineer, there appeared
orProbability of its being worked with such success in its present
its at as to justify them in paying the enormous sum demanded for
. purchase. In this stage of their proceedings, another process
With machinery was brought under their consideration, which, ac-
teiaornding to the report of the same engineer, after a careful examina-
tion of the specifications and experiments made upon both inven-
„ s, was more easily worked, and attended with much less expense
mkt the French process, and to such a degree as to constitute a dis-
tinct patent.
This patent, which will soon be completed, is secured to the Corn-
tre:tPany on the most advantageous terms, which must necessarily
ly enhance the value of its shares ; while its management will
be ntrustcd to a Board of Directors, whose names will be published
without_,, loss of time, which will of itself be a guarantee for the
safety and value of the undertaking.
