The Anniversary of this Institution was held at. the London
Tavern on Thursday, the 30th of April, at which his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge presided, when the un-
dermentioned Subseriptimis were received. The inade-
gluey of ate present building for the reception of the nu-
merous applicants for relief, oblige the Governors to make an
*nest appeal to the public, to enable them to extend the ac-
commodation by the completion of the east wing. To effect
this object an outlay of 12,00 e/. will be required, and a consi-
detable increase of income is still to be provided for the support
4124 maintenance of an additional number of patients :

PUMPS.

NORWICH AGAINST A L.L ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS

TO A CROWN.

H ALD E R'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS.
Is..j The most powerful in the world, with which a man of
ten stone 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-half. Their practical gain 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 100 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of
raising water was effected in the simplest manner possible,
being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin-
ciple for l'umps, by which their friction and leakage was abo-
lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had
seen 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
snivellii.g about that their trade would be ruined, because
Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most 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 rnaltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with-
out the least expense or the slightest variation.. Also, so re-
markable simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car-
penters,' &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un-
dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain
Pumps retarded, Choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering
a few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon
deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly
indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000
years ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from
a t ell 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 of 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-rump is founded upon a brilliant
idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral
principle. •
3d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt.
This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder
Pumps, under every Dame and modification. All Pumps upon
this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed
:Must they be•who expect the contrary, because mostly above
'two-fifths 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 years—an unlimited sliding principle.

4th, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing
stocks 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 •
Hydraulie Machine.
The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq.,
F.L. S., published a work in 1830, 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 the used for great elevations. Never-
theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as
below one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known
that flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability.
The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly
gone, but their flexible tontine 5 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-
