This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and
twenay mike round. Specimens of the principle have been
laid saown at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street,
vakre 2,000 yards more are commenced. The principle is a
riew.section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain,
at an angle of 6:.; degrees 26 mir.ltes 5 seconds and 8-10ths of a
second, which causes the diagonA 1 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 strealgth of an arch.
The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square
yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,000/.
The profits of the Company will be derived from the original
laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yards
yielding 150,000/. profit—and also from keeping their pave-
ment in repair, which on a moderate calculation will amount
to 60,0001. 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 30,000/. Ne-
gotiations are pending for other works to a great extent.
Meqingt have been held at Liverpool and Manchester. at
which, after the principles of the Wood Pavement were ca-
plet Resolutions were unanimously passed, approving of
the cientific principle adopted by the Metropolitan Patent
Wood Pavement Company, and strongly recommending its ge-
idral use.
Application has since been made to the Inventor for permis-
Sion to lay down a quarter of a mile in length at Manchester,
and the work will commence forthwith.

Application for Shares to be addressed to the Secretary, 20,

street.
SECRETARY—Mr. John Atlee.

The object of this Company is the working of certain patents
obtained, and now in force, for rolling and compressing won by
machinery, thus producing in an immeasurably shorter time,
and at a greatly diminished cost, a variety of articles proved to
be very superior to those resulting from manual labour.
The articles to which these patents apply consist of bolts,
rivets, railway pins, and others too numerous to particularize,
of which the consumption is unlimited, and which are indis-
pensable in the construction of railways, steam boilers, and
gasometers, ship building, architectural, agricultural, and a
variety of other very useful purposes.
The patent railway pins have for some time past been used
on the railroads throughout England, and their superiority is
established, not merely by the certificates of some of the first
engineers, but practically by the repeated orders of contractors
and American agents (some executed and others in course of
execution), the whole of which may be seen on applicati on to
the Secretary, who will show specimens of the articles pro-
duced, and afford any further information relative to the un-
dertaking generally.
Application for Shares to be made to the Secretary, at the
Company's Offices.
In consequence of the demand for Shares from the country
having much exceeded the number calculated on, applications
cannot be entertained after the 15th inst. 4
