The Lords of the Treasury ha7ing fixed the 6th of May
nett, for the issue of Postage Stamps : on and after that day,
Letters 'Written on stamped paper or enclo.ed in stamped

area sus being equal in value or amount to the rates of Postage
Iry ehargeable on such Letters if pre-paid, will pass Free of

In trote easel *there the value of Stamps on the letter is leas

weighting more than half-an-ounce, and not exeeeding an

„ioir he same regulation applies to Letters pre-paid by money,

Letters, Stamps may also be used en Foreign, Colonial, and Ship

Practicable cases, to the writer. Stamps are not permitted to he

PUMPS.

a.m.

NORWICH AGAINST A: L ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS

TO A CROWN.
SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS.
The most powerful in the world, with which a man of
ten steno weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty-
three feet high in a minute. but with no other Pump yet tried
in a minute and a•haif. Their practical gam is most extraor-
dinary, seldom below 70, and mote frequently above 100 per
cent., taking the average of the results of every altitude from
1 foot to 10.1 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of
raising water was effected in the simplest manner possible,
being merely lily substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin-
ciple for Pumr, by which their friction and leakage was abo-
lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had
been made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years.
For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly
introduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre-
dicting that it would prove limited and frail, who are now
snivelli. g about that their trade would be ruined, because
Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the mast durable, whe-
ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are
so economical and invariable in their action, that they com-
monly perform for molesters, brewers, and dyers for year. with.
nut the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re-
o.i.rkably simple, that smiths. millwrights, wheelwrights, car-
penters, &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successtully un-
dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain
Pumps retarded, choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering
a few tons of sand, although k very little of that material soon
deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pump. Slowly
indeed, the art of raising stater approached perfection 4.000
years ago. The beautiful :Miss Rebecca brought tip water from
a tell in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's
camels.
Since then appeared the four principles; namely, two limited,
and two unlimited principles—two if them sliding principles,
one a spiral principle, and one a rolling principle.

. .
1 t. The Chain .pump in action is direct and simple ; but by
friction and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain,
and from its Numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain-
pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a
limited sliding principle.

2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant
idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limitod spiral
principle.

Id. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt.
This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder
Pumps, under every name and modification. MI Pumps upon
this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed
must they be who expect the contrary, because mostly above
two-fiftks of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their
friction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the
new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines.
Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the
last 2,000 Tears—an unlimited sl.ding principle.

4tit, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing
stock; of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising
water to a science.. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor
less than the Pump made absolute, because without. any dis-
coverable defect or imperfection it possesses every essential
property for the purpose intended in the highest degree.
AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE.
Dr. Birkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Lon-
don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and
defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect
Hydraulic Machine.
The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq.,
F.L. S., published a work in 1530, 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 some cases, it cannot he used for great elevations Never-.
theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as
below ono hundred feet. Millington might surely have known
that flexibility was nopreof of frailty, nor rigidity of dui ability.
The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly
gone, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity when
their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun-
dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun-
tain Pumps i.rove also not only surpassing durable, but almost
indest ruct able.
