In announcing the early appearance of this long-desired addition
to our daily literature, it seems only necessary to remark, that with
all the attractions usually offered to the reading public, THE CUR-
TAIN addresses itself more peculiarly to three classes
I. To the Lover of the Drama, in all its varied forms of Tragedy,
Comedy, Opera, Farce, Vaudeville, and Ballet, it will present a
complete herald and record of every occurrence of interest in the
vast theatrical world.
2. To the Literary, to all who love to trace the workings of fancy,
or relish wit and humour, abundant food will be offered and sup-
plied fro n the pens of the most celebrated and popular writers of
our time.
3. To advertisers it will prove of the highest importance, as a ve-
hicle for the widest possible dissemination of their announcements,
and afford the most unwonted facilities, inasmuch as, independent
of its general circulation, TIIE CURTAIN will, by exclusive au('
express appointment of the several managements, be sold nightly,
as in Paris, in every theatre in the metropolis ; and on the first clay
of publication, no less a number than Ten Thousand will be gra-
tuitously distributed in the various theatres.

.ROCKEDON'S PATENT PURE PLUM-
BAGO for ARTISTS, and ENGINEERS' BLACK LEAD

'ENCILS.

The perfection to which this article is new brought, in Colour, firm-
ness, entire Purity from Grit, and 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-
dense, bat to point out to Pencil Manufacturers the peculiar advan-
tages presented by the form of the blocks of this Patent Plumbago,
for ready application and the avoidance of waste.
Each of the blocks weighs about seven ounces, 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. 'I hese
blocks being already tempered for such degrees of hardness and
colour as the letters indicate, cannot be made hatter, or treated in
any way to make them harder, without injury to their quality. The
blocks are thus reedy 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 Nock, which, being two inches mid a
quarter square, and about one inch thick, enables the maker to have
but one joint in each pencil.

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,' have used one of the HIM nearly
naenth. There is no affectation in declaring that I am deeply grateful
for your discovery, and though latein making this acknowledgment 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 Brands, F.R.S., &c. &c. &c.
Royal Mint, Feb. 13, 1846.
qty dear Sir—Sly opinion respecting. your Patent Plumb:leo
amounts to this ; that by much ingenuity you have overcome nume-
rous difficulties, in the way of compressing comminuted.
into a solid mass of an extraordinary, homogeneous, and 'mina ni
character ; that the fracture and texture of that which you have so
consolidated so closely resemble, the finest native specimens as to
render it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish be-
tween your artificial product and that of the finest .qivality obtained
tom the mines ; that the pen:lls from your manufacture are, as tsar
as may judgment enables me to determine, equal to those made of
the best Borrodale pitunbago ; and, lastly, that yon have succeoded
in giving to them those different degrees of hardnass which are re-
quired by the artist, without rendering them brittle on the one h md,
or puiverulent on the other.—Yours always, very sincerely,
Wm. Brockedon, Esq. WM. THOS. BRANDE.
From Francis Ran:adds, Esq., F.R.S., &c., of the Kew Observatory.
" Kew Observatory, Monday.
My dear Str,—l beg your pardon for having so long delayed to
express my opinion of your patent haul in pencils ; but I do not
regret very much the omission, because it has given me time to test
the specimens fairly whilst making my drawings for the report con-
eerning this Observatory to the British Association.
I may conscientiously say that I never used a pencil—l speak of
the Hll 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 ale 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
me in the way of giving better directions in future.
Yours very sineerely, FRANCIS ZDNALDS.

My dear Sir,—ltt reply to your letter of yesterday's date, I have
much pleasure in being able to state that the specimens of ptncila
which accompany it are of a very good quality and quite free from
grit. —Yours very truly, THOS. COLBY.
Prom Charles G.Lewis, Esq., Engraver.
My dear Sir,—l have only just now commenced using the pencils
you were so kind to send to ire ; they are the best I have ever used,
so very tree from grit ; they are just the thing for the use I am now
making of them, viz., reducing. The 1111 is quite delightfld to draw
with, and a groat relief after the many gritty pencils I have been in
the habit °Cueing, and which break incessantly. I regret that I had
non earlier an opportunity of giving them a fair trial.

Dear Slr,—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 uses 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 reduc-
ing, and flnd them every thing that can be required ; they work
freely, and, what is very desirable, they seem finite from grit, a hich
is not the case with pencils generally ; they also leave a clear and
excellent transfer upon the etehiag ground.—l remain, dear Sir,
yours faithfully,

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 were so kind as to send me, and I have
so hesitation in stating that, in ny opinion, they possess every
quality, in a superior degree, that the artist can require.
Believe me, my dear sir, yours very truly,
To William Broekedon, Esq., F.R.B. E. DUNCAN.
Extract from " Ele.nents of Art,"by J. D. llarding, Esq., p. 94.

Third Edition.

" Recently the quality of lead pencils, both for purposes of art and
for general use, has been greatlyimproved,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 improvementi it all respects, even over the pure plumbago in its
native state, thati t may truly be said that until now a perfect lead
pencil bas been unknown. Lead pencils from Mr. Brockedon's
Pure Plumbago are now manufactured by Messrs. Morden and Co ,
and by Messrs. Winsor and Newton."
Extract from an Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of
the Geological society of London, 1846, by Leonard Horner,
V.P.R.S., President of the Society.
"Every year has disclosed new facts in confirmation of the theory,
that accumulations of detrital matter were transformed into their pre
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 read before us last year,
by which he converts, under very powerful pressure, the powder of
graphite into a solid mass having a conchoidal fracture, and undistin-
guishable from the most compact native b'ack lead, shows that pres-
sure alone may convert fine detrital matter into solid stone.

Wm of Royalty and the!GovernmentDepartments,with similar attempts
at deception, whre they copy the Labels, Bills, Advertisements, and
