DRY GAS-METER is never affected by Frost or Time, and
may be hired at a trifling expense of all Gas Companies rho supply
Meters to their customers. .Nearly 30,000 have been sold, and the
first judges of the day have pronounced them to be unequalled, while
the patronage of Government, the public, and of all the London, and
Most of the provincial companies confirm the fact. —N. DEFRIES
begs to state, that in addition to the large meter he recently con-
structed for the Royal Italtan Opsra house, Covent-garnen, upon the
order of the Chartered Gas Company, and which passes 6,000 feet of
gas per hoar, he has been honoured by that Company with the addi-
tional order for the meter for the New Mouses of Parliament, which
,1s calculated to pass 10,000 feet of gas per hour. and to supply 2,00
lights, and has been universally pronounced to be the most superb
and effective measuring machine ever constructed. It will remain

THE MOTION OF H ETR G U N S ;
E MONSTERS.
Again imagination lends her aid,
In kind suggestions to the bard of trade ;
And under her instructions I describe
A recent meeting of the cannon tribe.
You'll understand that at a certain hour,
I trode the Purlieus of our
ancient Tower;
When strange to tell, the subjectsof my ditty,
Were holding a discussion in committee.
Vast numbers of the Guns
fortress trembled.were here assembled,
And as they spoke the far-famed
So down I sat, and down I took the speeches,
And underneath you'll understand what each is.
" I rise," said
callingFulminatort"with a notion
.
Of notice
to a special motion ,
take amiss
Nor will your mighty Gunships
My well-meant proposition—which is this :
• That Messrs. MOSES' 2,laft of wide repute
Be duly honoured with a grated
salute.'
I'm sure," said he, •• en looking at their
CLOTHES,
You'll acquiesce in what I now propose.
d arrison,

son
far beyond comp= .
Yo
All who behold the articles admit
and fit."
The beauty of their style, and make,
rec' oned,
.. you've rightly ,s
"Just so," said Thunderbolt, 3'
And willingly your motion will I second.e
Th Mart at which I'm pointing with my muzzle,
To competition is a downright puzzle.
THE HATS OF MOSES
In the way they suit,
Are equally deserving a salute.
These valued tiles are ouch as no one shuns, ,
go get your touch-holes ready, brother Guns. '
" I beg," said Fury," to support the motion,
For I have often entertained the notion.
And when I see the worth of
I think MOSES' BOOTS,
they merit fifty grand salutes.
The Boots and Shoes of MOSES, firmly wrought,
Cause, like the Tower Guns, a good report."
" That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow,
"The Mart of NI OSES never had its fellow
And this, you know, applies to
So, fire-avra MOSES' FUR,
y, and make a glorious stir."
Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your noses,
And don't forget
THE HOSIERY OF MOSES.
You know the it a saHosiery is go,j and cheap,
Clive lly, boys, let no one sleep."
And I
The motion being put, at once was carried.
The firing soon commenced, when all . around,
The City echoed with the moving
sod.
And while the Guns in grand salutes were firing,
Th at MOSES' Warehouse were attiring ;
And often was the observation made—
That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.
E. MOSES a SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants toa
