This Company has been formed for paving the Metropolis
,d twenty miles round, with wood. Specimens of the Kin-
14Ple have been laid down at Whitehall, -Buckingham Palace,
ftd part of Oxford-street,• below Wells-street and Newman-
street, which have proved its superiority over every other Tr ode
Wood pavement hitherto adopted. Prom authentic returns,
It
„Lappears the paving-rates in the Metropolis alone amount to
(),000/. annually—the repairs in Oxford.street are 5,0001.
Per annum.
.The economy of wood paving on this principle, compared
With every other model, ensures to this Company an ample
telattneration per square yard ; and, that their operations may
`l6 carried to any extent, it is only necessary to state that the
roads in the Metropolis now paved with stone and Mac-
441taised comprise between five and six millions of
square yards. for which there is no doubt wood will be sub-
stituted, removing, ai it effectually does, so many long-
!? mplained-of nuisances. The present orders received by the
`-143,1npany amount to 20,0001. Negotiations are pending for
'Wrier work to a great extent.
Models and reports as to the merits of the invention, by sur-
-yors and other competent persons, may be seen at the offices
of the Company as above.

TO4 the Directors of the Metropolitan Potent Wood Pavement

Company.
Gentlemen.—As Surveyor to the Commissioners for Paving
the Regent's-park, Regent-street, and Whitehall districts, by
;those order the wood pavement on the above principle has been
'aid *.Own at Whitehall, and in reply to your note requesting my
union of its merits, I have to inform you that the work has not
fly given me and the Commissioners entire satisfaction, but has
ti-eited the admiration of the public generally. I have no
duubt but this mode of pavement will be universally adopted,
as it is not only free from noise and mud, but the wear and tear
°C Public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The
Wvvs'l Pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in
% goc;d condition as the first day it was 'Laid down.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

To the Direeters of the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement

Company.
Gentlemen,—ln reply to your application to me for a certi-
Sea te of my opinion of the Wood Pavement laid down by your
Corn oany in various parts of Lomlon, I have much pleasure in
bearii3x testimony to its evenness of surface, as well as to its
oompae,'ness and solidity, and I am sere when it comes to be
generally adopted, the wear and tear of horses and carriages
Rill be grei:tly reduced. As Manager of the London Convey-
amee Compan.v, who are Proprietors of Omnibuses, running be-
tween the Nightingale Tavern, and Elephant and Castle, I
'leave remarked tat the draft is less for horses, when going over
:your experimental pavement at Whitehall ; and I think the
tame sort of paving would be found much superior to all others
is stable stalls and )'ards.
flopjfig to see it generally adopted,
I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,

WILKINSON'S ANTI - CORROSION
PAINT.

REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
$4, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside.
J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to
;vie Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their
louses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
I,Te to damp or tea spray in exposed situations; it will not
Waiter or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
ilat.‘ng, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
far► ~ or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
ftristr, on paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
'can la) it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of yes-
&c., it be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
nor to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
sears on wond and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
7wark-brit'ge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
.their orde-s for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
:ether coleus miry be imposed upon them for Isis. A liberal
'allowance to the trade.
