This Company is formed for Paving the Aletropolis, and
.• Inty miles round. Specimens of the principle have been
i_a! down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street,
'
• flare 2,000 yards snore are commenced. The principle is a
new section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain,
it an angle of 63 degrees 26 minutes 5 seconds and 8-10ths of a
!tend, which causes the diagonal joining of the obtuse angles of
the two parallelopipedes to fall in a perpendicular straight line,
Which, laid down obliquely, gives to a surface, perpetually even,
all the strength of an arch.
The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square
lards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,000
The
e profits of the Company will be derived from the original
laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yards
0001 profit—and also from keeping their pave-
bent in repair, which on a moderhte calculation will amount
to go
—,OOOl. per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of
One-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre-
' } Sent orders received by the Company amount to 30,0001, Ne-
i Pfittions are pending for other works to a great extent.

' `°.4 IMIZINATED ROLLING PRINCIPLE.
Dr. Birkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Len-
, . den, says-the Fountain Pump is -fres from the liabilities and
‘leileetisofthe common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect
• ~ Hydrazine Machine*. , . .
L . The Vice-President, Piofessor Jobn Millington, Ea+,
i: F, L. S., published a work in 18.30, and •therein makes a rash,
false, foul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited,
and although, from its diminished friction it has its-advantages
• in seine eases, it cannot be used for great elevations. Never-
theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as
below one hundred feet. 'Millington might surely have known
. that flexibility was nopreof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability.
The rigid teeth of mamrra and her four sisters were mostly
gone, but their flexible tongues remit ed in full activity when
their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun-
dred Tears. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun-
tain 'Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost
indestructable.

CASES SUFFICIENT.
Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,0001., have net cost
per year for all tho connectors, though twenty-four of them,
from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the
Tublio.roads from Wymandharn to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth.
A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse
S.B.er), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet.
S It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the old
Pump that wear. out. And it is the connector that rolls up
Us water in the Nevi Pump that wears out.
Mark the neat two eases, both Pumps having done the same
work.
A Sing] e-aeting Fountain Puma at Messrs. Horton's, dyers,
Norwich, (manual power). Herd' the connectors of the Now
Pump last four times as long as did the packing of the old
Puinßit superseded.
A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers,
Norwich
(steam power). Here also the packing of their old
Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three
!months, now the connectors of their new pump last above six-
teen months. This noble machine has not cost as. a year for
connectors, though constantly at work, and deliver; eight im-
perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV-
ING TPAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW PRIN-
CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE.
The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in 1838, be-
lay, en Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor
varied in effect.
The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with
them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of
them wouhi answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty.

EFFECT.
At the mane fair trials made by man, horse, and steam
Power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an
average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 30,
41,and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and
sea, certify' similar results.

CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST

TIE.
Take four Pumps of the OIM d
Plan, and four Pumps
of the
New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that amen of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with-
out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet highs three
barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons
of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument.
The number of seconds required with one pump less than
with the other, will be its gain in time and labour.
The competitors should find the the
pumps and the public
pipes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew
so much about raising water as sucking monkeys.
Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo-
sition (Newmarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun-
tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the
elelivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering
6imperial gallons of water per minute.
