ON LAND

the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
Ire brigade. They sot instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
"We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
eloty."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
'rho New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion if
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
fire in sad near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including ht the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. lierton's dyery, and 12,6001. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which mast have spread around de-
streetion and death.

" North Walshrun.—At this Ire the Portable Engine was of great
service. and by having ono of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the property new destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.

At a Norwich fire June 9, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pete of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they
will de the 17ork, whieh proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.

Portable Basins; speedily proye steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.

;Cow the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pnmps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain rumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wages two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
awl Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee:s half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the beg engineers In the world had
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new yelling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twisty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.

Most mon can enstain heavy rapid pump tilals for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at sainute time. With a best now heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, elearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clentou Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
Well is placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps tae water
Upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, au ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the ether hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain-
able character:—The Fountain Pump is the moot important improve-
'tient in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—tho greatest advancement in the useful arts in
Modern tines.

The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
Ibr man, horse. and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at lass cost than 001112114 U pumps.

To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there Is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacific, which
have an increasing interoourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is AA Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitaa capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be bronchi to a certainty within 64 or

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use if
cillinbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
maiploying them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85.
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
°T a large Portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter irn-
Poesitility in inntunerahle cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by av la'
,„, - e•—ng all a slty for its infringement, the Inge-
Ittuus ail- 'fleet-lye Itarnoneur machine has been invented. This
:volution consista of four brushes forming a square head, which
tVneana at elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
creating e ',Men or extended an even space in which the machine moves, thereby
preosure on all four sides of a chimney. T h
."Qs attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals wit
Universal spring Joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is eurrnouated with a double revolving ball, having
lieo tt universal spring joiet, Which leads the brush vrith certainty
Mat every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its mete most
eerfeeti
). The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
...1 the fact, that it is
exclusively used in the Government and
irknierous public orikes, while the patronage leestovred by a large
r of the nobility and gentry in continuing their anneal coil-
.to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
