ALCOCK FOR EAST SURREY
Four days only hare elapsed since at one of the largest
meetings ever held in this county, THOMAS ALCOCK,
Esq., was rominated with acclamation to be the champion of
the Liberal interest. A personal canvass at this late period is
obviously impossible, but he has already visited many districts,
and will attend meetings in other parts of the county, so as to
afford the fullest opportunity of ascertaining his sentiments.
We are delighted to state that we have found the independent
Electors true to the great cause of civil and religious freedom.
The returns now sent in prove that, by a continuance of the
noble determination and exertions already displayed, success
must, and will be the result.

The object of this Company is to carry into profitable em-
ployzent the patent which Mr. Taylor has obtained for Eng-
land, Scotland, Ireland, and the Colonies, for cutting wood by
machinery after it has been steamed.
For a quarter share of the profits arising from the manu-
factories, and one-halt from the licenses, the Patentee has con-
sented to vest the whole patent right in a Company, providing
adequate capital to carryout the great basiness likely to arise from
it. That business nay be measured by the fact that it is calculated
to supersede all the cooperage in the kingdom in the making
of casks, inasmuch as, if the materials mild be had for nothing,
under the present system, the expense of labour alone would
be greater than the entire cost of both materials and labour
under this latent.
The machinery with but two-horse steam power, performs
120 evolutions, andwith two cutters cuts 240 staves per minute,
making no sawdust, and occasioning no further waste of mate-
rial than the inequalities of the surface of the blocks.
The machinery cnn be applied to all other wood cutting, as
we'l as the making of casks, and the patent granting the exclu-
sive privilege of cutting wood softened by steam, cannot be au-
per±eded or rivalled by any other mode of cutting, of which the
steaming of wood is a necessary element.
A very large manufactory would be required in London for
the business to be carried on in the metropolis alone—other ma-
nufactories might be established in the large maritime towns of
the United Kingdom, or licensee might be granted to residents
in such town, upon terms to be settled by the Company. At
present the square tower and adjoining premises east of Wa-
terloo-bridge, on the Surrey side, are used for the purpose. In-
dividuals desirous of embarking in the Company may see the
machinery at work daily, and satisfy themselves of the immense
capabilities and great probable profits of the undertaking.
The capital may be expanded or contracted as may be expedi-
ent, and no public Company, whether large or small, can fail in
profitably employing its money. The business may be carried
on with 5,0001. saecessfully, though ten or twenty times -that.
amount would create a much mere than proportionate return.
Sixteen patents have been granted by foreign Powers, but
it is not proposed to include them i■ this Company.
The Standing Orders of Parliament have been complied with,
and a Bill in the present Session may be expected to be passed,
authorising the transfer of the patent to more than twelve per-
sons, and empowering the Company by Actef Parliament.
Should all the Shares not be taken before the passing of the
Act, the Company will go on with such capital as shall have
been subscribed ; but no further Shares be issued after the
passing of the Act save at a premium, for the benefit of the
original Shareholders, who shall have the pre-emption of claim-
ing them at such premium.
Application for Shares may be made to Edward M. Elder-
ton, Esq., Solicitor, 40, Queen-square, Bloomsbury ; W. S.
Northhonse, Esq., Parliamentary Agent ; J. H. Buckle, Se-
cretary ; or W. H. Taylor, Esq., the Patentee, at the Manu-
factory.
