HE OLD SHEFFIELD SOAP WORKS.
Established in the Year 1792,
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
BY T. N. BARD WELL AND SONS,
At their Auction Mart, High-street, Sheffield, on TUESDAY,
the 25th day of FEBRUARY, at Three o'Clock in the After-
noon, subject to Conditions of Sale.
These WORKS have an old and respectable connection,
both among the regular Trade and with the Cloth Manufac-
turers, all within a moderate distance, and which, in conse-
quence of the Railway Lines now opening, might, with great
facility, be extended. They are advantageously placed for pro-
curing supplies of the raw materials, the freights from London,
Hull, and Newcastle being very moderate. They have been
within the last two years, at considerable expense, enlarged and
altered, with a view to their more perfect convenience and ar-
rangement as a Manufactory, and they are in a state of the best
repair and first working order.
They have now Copper-room to turn out 30 Tons of Soap a
week; they contain two Yards, with a large Shed in the fur-
ther one, and a small plot of uninclosed Ground beyond it ;
have warehouses, an Ashwork, Mill, Evaporating Pans, and
an abundant supply of Water. There is a ready Sale for all
the Soap Ashes made on the premises, at 10s. per cart load, of
a certain measure, weighing about 27 cwt., being an advantage
possessed by but very few houses in the trade.
The Ground Plot contains 2,511 square yards, presenting a
jFrontage of 95 yards to the Road. The Works are close ad-
oining the Canal; its Basin and Wharf, and an extensive
Colliery, is immediately contiguous, and large Manufactories
around them.
These works are held of the Duke of Norfolk, on lease (53
years of which will remain unexpired next Lady-day), at the
very trifling annual rent of six g,uineas, all the land in the
neighbourhood being now exceedingly enhanced in value since
this plot and buildings were taken ; the Canal, New Markets,
and rising Manufactories having subsequently rendered this
part of the town, which was perhaps the least valuable of any,
its principal mart.
As the occupant now wishes to retire, in consequence of
other avocations demanding his time and attention, the pur-
chaser, if desired, could be accommodated by leaving two-thirds
of the amount of sale on the premises, at five per cent.
Possession can be given immediately on the completion of the
purchase.
For further information apply to the Auctioneers ; Mr. B. J.
Wake, solicitor, Sheffield ; or to Mr. .1. G. Shuttleworth, on
the premises.

THE PATENT SPECTACLES, manufac-
tured by Mr. E. SOLONIONS, No. 36, OLD BOND-
S MEET, and I, OLD JEWRY, CITY, rank in importance among
the greatest nt modern inventions, which is of th 2 greatest importance
te the pubic, in consequence of their improving and preserving the
signt; and their being of Jess specific gravity than any oti ers, will be
found highly advantageous to all persons having a cetermination of
blood to the head or eyes. Their great efficacy is most satisfactorily
authenticated by the concurrent testimony of thousands of living
witnesses, of the first respectability, in this and the sister kingdoms.
added to which, the documentary proofs submitted through the
medium of the daily journals, decidedly establish Mr. Solomon's re-
putation as an optician and scientific man. his VOICE CON DEC.
fORS, recently invented, are the most powerful instruments hitherto
discovered for defective hearing. Deaf persons are enabled, from
their minute construction (being only i of an inch in diameter) to
wear them e tirely unseen ; they are inserted and removed with the
greatest facility. By their use musical sounds, and the lowest whisper
breathed at a public assembly, vibrates on the organs of hearing in
such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief to those af_
Sicted with the distressing ailment of deafness. .. Owing to parties (1
the same name fraudulently advertising Spectacles as " newly in-
vented," the public attention is particularly directed to the address of
the above Establishments.
