AT grk
kamerous ships it 111.1 already saved, and the captatns graterally ac-
knowledge the gloriosa results. Two testissonlal extracts shall
sullies

" Captain Greig, Nom Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great rower was the weans of
saying the ship hat 230 mule ox beard, two seams ix the bottom
being partly left witiiiit soaking.'
" The Argus brig, from Cadia, sprang a leak when tlir.:e plays eat
at sea, and aeon after her common puwip sheaked and beeline ase-
less. Captain Rutherford states all thee depended upon her Foun-
tain Pimp, which for nineteen days cad eighteen nights was ix ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrival safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LINT?
the New Portable Fire-engines are of inflaitely better service that a
Are brigade. They act instantaneously at the out►reak of a fire.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great hoes to go-
eiety."—Editors Liverpeol
The New Portable Eire-engines have preserved a large portion •f
Norwich from destraction, for out of eighteen different properties en
Ire in aid sear the city, they saved eleven ,elely and seven maiily,
including in the sevea the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and iu the
eleven, Messrs. Hortoa's dyery, and 11,1001. 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 gee-
powder therein from exploding, which must have Roma areand de-
struction and death.

" itortk Vfalshara.—lt this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, ant by having one of them ready, there la no toabt bat half
the property now destroyed might have been sayed."—lcerfulkCbre-
nista, Augast 22, 1346.
At a Nerwich tire Jane 2, 1147, the tw• Portable Engines were
the pets of the pablia. The icy was, feed the little engines and they
will to the work, which proved tree. The four large engines present
proved useless.

Portable Engines speedily prow* stoam-boilors to a dozen aims-

spheres.
/low the fast is this, all former Force Pimps, Lift-force Pamps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scraps the water ',wards by Motion, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Teung
and Hatt**, with many other eminent experimenters. lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exess•Ce half the ►ower consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had
tried in rain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
is hydraulie machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is word, aid
won fir ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to tweaty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out mere outlay.
Most men sun sustain heavy rapid pump trials fbr 40 seeends, bit
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise le,eoo lbs. of water one foot high in a mutts, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 0,000 lbs. in half a minute. Ties a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained ever perpetual and unl-
♦ersal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in hie popular work, /co. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Puntp Abortion (that slaps the water
upWard) side by side with tie Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. 'Lanett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. 11 addley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps'were identical. Slut the 'Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,113, and in No. 496, Book-maker Milliegton'e
remarks are prepesteroas. However, on the ether hand, De. 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 most important Improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
theasand years—the greatest advaiceineut in the useful arts in
modern thaw
The Consammation Fountain Pumps ars successfully carried out
for private and public Uses, at lifts below and above 100 stet Altitude,
fir man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to ISO barrels of water per minate, and rendering every fair
trial at cenapstitlon ridicaleus, whilst their durability is guaranteed

To carry out effectually and economically steam eoramuilsation
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
ear numerous and valuable celenies in the Souther' l'acifle, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portiens of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland rents has beau exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioaed by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metreplitau capital of the whole of the
♦ustralasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
66 days of Lendoi (frequently in 60), and within lest than 20 slays
of India. The coal stations are convenient, excellent coal from the
pits at Newcastle, New South Wales, can be pat on board there at
75. to 7s. 6d. per ton.
