OPENING OF THE PORTS.
LORD RUSSELL and Co., it appears, have resolv'd
To amend the dilemma in which we're lnvolv'd,
And the ports of the realist, width so long have been shut,
Will, doubtless, be open'd withost " if " or " bat."
Ton perhaps may suppose, from the way we ooramenva,
We shall write in a strictly political sense ;
But no, worthy reader, E. MOSES and SON
In political matters would meddle with none.
The perts being open'd to let in the grain
Will be treated in rather a different strain.
E. 3106E8 and SON have their own open ports,
For matchless habiliments—dress of all sorts.
By MOSES and SON was the first efert made
To open the ports in the tailoring trade.
They expos'd the high prices which gevern'd the day,
And threw down the barrier that lay in the way;
And quickly Economy's flag was unfurl'd
To all in the widely-inhabited world.
E. MOSES and SON have created a stir
Throughout the vast realm by the good they confer;
And none can be fouad in the kingdom dispos'd
For the perts of E. MOSES and SON to be cloed.

BROCKEDON'S PATENT PURE PLUM-
BAGO for ARTISTS, and ENGINEERS' BLACK LEAD
PENCILS.
The perfection to which this article is new brought, in Colour, firm-
ness, entire Purity from Grit, alai ready Erasure, is fully shown in the
accompanying Testimonials from Painters and Engravers, Archi-
tects, Engineers, and other Draughtsmen, who are at once the most
competent judges, and men of the greatest eminence in their several
professions. Nothing is required to be added to this mass of evi-
dence, but to point out to Pencil Manufacturers the peculiar advan-
tages presented by the form of the blocks of this Patent Piumbago,
for ready application and the avoidance of waste.
Each of the blocks weighs about *even ouncos, and.they are to be
used by the pencil-makers for such different qualities of pencils as
are known by the centre letters stamped on the blocks. These
blocks being already tempered for such degrees of hardness and
colour as the letters indicate, cannot be made harder, or treated in
any way to make them harder, without injury to their quality. The
blocks are thus ready for immediate use, of all degrees of colour and
hardness, and possess great advantages, in the uniform quality in
the letter, and in the size of the block, which, bang two inches and a
quarter square, and about one inch thick, enables the maker to have
but one joint in each period.

approach ; and this is without the risk of snapping off the point, which
is the torment, of all others, the most vexatious : this has never once
happened tome with yours, and,l have used one of the HIM nearly a
month. There is no affectation in declaring that lam deeply:grateful
for your discovery, and though late inmaking this a, cknowledg ment to
you, I have lost no opportunity meanwhile in endeavouring to make
the great qualities of your pencils as popular as they deserve to be.—
I am, my dear Sir, yours always truly,
W. Brockedon, Esq. WILLIAM HARVEY.
From Professor Brande, F.It.S., &e. &e. &c.
Royal Mint, Feb. 13, 1846.
My dear Sir —My opinion respecting your Patent 'lumbago
amounts to this ; that by much ingenuity you have overcome nume-
rous difficulties, in the way of compressing comminuted plambago
into a solid mass of an extraordinary, homogeneous, and uniform
character ; that the fracture and texture of that which you have so
consolidated so closely resembles the flaest native specimens as to
render it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish be-
tween your artificial product and that of the finest quality obtained
from the mixes ; that the pencils from your manufacture are, as far
as soy judgment enables me to determine, equal to those made of
the best Berrodate plumbago ; and, lastly, that you have succeeded
in giving to them those different degrees of hardness which are re-
quired by the artist, without rendering them brittle on the one hand,
or pulverulent on the other.—Yours always, very sincerely,
Wm. Brockedon, Esq. WM. THOS. BRANDE.
From Francis Ronalds, Esq., F.R.S., &c., of the Kew Observatory.
"Kew Observatory, Monday.
My dear Sir,—l heg your pardon for having so long delayed to
express my opinion of your patent load in pencils ; but I do not
regret very much the omission, because it has given me time to test
the specimens fairly whilst snaking my drawings for the report eon-
eerniug this Observatory to the British Association.
I may conscientonsly say that I never used a pencil—l speak of
the Hit at this moment—with more satisfaction. It was smooth,
equally hard throughout, and possessed a quality which the harder
sort of pencils hitherto used are deficient in, viz., blackness.
Before I had tried them all,-Baron de Walterhausen and Professor
Kriel, of Prague, came here, and were so enamoured of them that
they not only took them per force, but almost abused me for not
being able to give them a nearer address than Cheapside or the City-
road, for procuring a stock to take home. I will thank you to put
the in the way of giving better directions in future.
Yours very sincerely, FRANCIS BANALDS.

51, Long Acre, Jan. 10, 1846.
Deer Sir,—All who have had to contend with the faultiness of
genuine Cumberland lead for some years past, in the manufacture of
lead pencils, ought, as well as the artist who noes them, to be obliged
to you for the riddance of those faults by your new method of pre-
paring lead. The samples that I have tried fully warrant me in say-
ing that the Arts are now independent of the natural production,
Cumberland lead.—l remain, my dear Sir, yours very sincerely,

My dear Sir,—l have tried your pencils both for tracing and redne-

freely, and, what is very desirable, they seem quite from grit, nhich

excellent transfer upon the etellin ground.—l remain, dear Sir,

My dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in adding mine to the many
favourable testimonials you have received of the great superiority of
the black lead manufactured by your patent process. I have tried
the specimens of pencils you won so kind as to send me, and I have
no hesitation in stating that, in my opinion, they possess every
quality, in a superior degree, that the artist can require.
Believe me, my dear air, yours very truly,

Extract from "Elements of trt,"by J. D. Harding, Esq., p. 94.

Third Edition.

, -
" Recently the quality of lead pencils, both for purposes of art and
for general use, has been greatly improved,in consequence of the dis-
covery, made by my friend Mr. Brockedon, of the mode of preparing
pure plumbago. For years no fresh lead has been obtained from the
Cumberland mines, and the last having been exhausted long ago,
lead pencils were getting every day worse, and insufferable from grit.
To remedy this, composition pencils have been manufactured ; but
these possess no lustre or depth of colour, and it is difficult, some-
times impossible, to efface their markings. By Mr. Brockedon's
invention we obtain the pure black lead in all its lustre and depth of
colour, without a p article of grit, and of any degree of hardness or
softness ; and the markings from are all easily effaced. So great is
the improvementin all respects, even over the pure plumbago in its
native state, thati t may truly be said that until now a perfect lead
pencil has been unknown. Lead pencils fllim Mr. Brockedon's
Pure Plumbago are now manufactured by Messrs. liordon and Co ,
and by Messrs. Winsor and Newton."
Extract from an Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of
the Geological Olociety of London, 1846, by Leonard Horner,
V.P.R.S., President of the Society.
"Every yearhas disclosed new facts in confirmation of the theory,
that accumulations of detrital matter were transferined into their pro
sent condition mainly by the action of heat, accompanied by other che-
mical actions, and the powerful agency of steam and elastic forces
under enormous pressure. A very ingenious process, invented by
Mr. Brokedon, described in a short paper real before us last year,
by which he converts, under very powerful pressure, the powder of
graphite into a solid mass having a concholdal fracture, and undistin-
guishable from the most compact native black lead, shows that pres-
sure alone may convert fine detrital matter into solid stone.

Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get oth
of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the Not increasing. I took three
of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the patina in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into mstomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young
man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report. —Yours
