PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INK-
STAND.
This novel and useful Inventicn insures an instantaneous
supply of CLEAR FILTERED INK in the cup of the Filter,
which can be returned into the Inkstand at any moment, where
it is secured from injury, and not affected by the atmosphere.
The Ink, thus protected, never thickens or moulds, and re-
mains good for any length of time in any climate. The process
of filtration causes the colouring matter to be held in suspen-
sion; hence the trouble and inconvenience occasioned by un-
suitable Ink, generally found in ordinary Inkstands, are com-
pletely obviated by. the use of the FILTER INKSTAND.
One of moderate size will contain sufficient Ink for six or
twelve months' writing.
THE RAVEN BLACK PEN.

THE PATENT PERRYIAN RAVEN BLACK PEN,
is not liable to corrosion, and will be found excellent for the use
of the Counting House, and for general purposes.
Sold by JAMES PERRY and CO., Patentees and Manu-
facturers, 37, Red Lion-square, London : also by all Stationers

SIGHT AND HEARING.-TESTIMO-
NIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS newly
invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE
VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.
We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses; the astonishing
t chef they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly
pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and
soften bright and brilliant lights :

In placing the above List of Testimonials before the Public, the
Messrs, Solom sins Opticians and Aurists, state that their INVISIBLE
OPERATIVEVOICE CONDUCTOR, by which thousands of Deaf
Persons have been greatly benefited, is not larger than a seven.shilling
pioce, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and
not more uncomfortable nor perceptible than haring a piece of wool
in its place. By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is
heard with distinctness.
These important new inventions are patronised b v their Majesties
the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the
Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess
Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, her Grace the Duchess
Dowager of Bedford, and their Graces the Dukes of Devonshire and
Manchester, &c. &c.

PUMPS.

NORWICH AGAINST ALL ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS
TO A CROWN.

SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS.
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 more 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 Pumps, by which their friction and leakage was abo-
lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had
been 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
snivellicg 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 coin-
minty perform for maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with-
out the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re-
markably 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 well in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's
camels.
Sinee 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.
I,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-pump 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 name 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
Hydraulic 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 be 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 mamn-a and her four sisters were mostly
gone, but their flexible tongues 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-
tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost
indestructable.
