AT BEI

numerous ships it has already gaged, and the captains gratefully Re-
krthwledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
suAiee :•

" Captain Greig, from Quchea to ',endow, states that the Fountala
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power wee the means of
swing the ship an •t 230 souls ou board, two seams is the bottom
being partly kit withlat calking."
" The Argus brig, Lone Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and aeon after her common pump choaked and becarae use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foga-
tain Pimp, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was is ac-
tion without a arnute's respite, when all arrived. safely in London.
with a thank God for the Fountale Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-englaes are of infinitely better serrico thut a
Jiro brigade. They act Instantaneously at tke outbreak of a tiro.
" We are delighted with the luveutiou—lt is a great Iwo* to so_
piety."—Editors Liverpool Mall.

The New Portab'e Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destraction, for out of eighteen different properties en
Are in and near the city, they saved eleven ,elely and seven mainly,
including in the sew!' the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Hortoa's dyery, and 12,0 l 01. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke n•u'tard, starch, a. id flour mil's, aid Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in tine to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread Arvind de-
struction and death.

" North Walshare.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt bat halt
the preperty now destroyed might have been sayed."—tiorf,lk Clue-
nide, August 22, 1846.

♦t a Ne, wick Are June 2, 1847, the twe Eertable Engines were
the pets of the public. The ery was, feel the little engines and they
will do the work, wh.eh proved tree. Tke four large engines present
proved useless.

Portable Engines speedily prove steam-botlere to a dozen atmo-
•pherea.

Now the net is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water epaarde by Motion. which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Toung
and Hatton. with many other erainent experimenters. lamented
thus : TIM quantity o: water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee:s half the rower consumed, after overcoming frictio►; and
leakage; and notwithstanding the bet engineers in the world had
trisql in ♦ain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
la hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is WOl, and
won for ever ; for flictien and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented ftein
twelve to twenty (sr about seventy per cent.), and frequently With-
cut mere outlay.

Most mem can sustain heavy rapid pump trials fbr 40 seconds, bat
Borne men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an &wive sound-winded young visa of 140 lbs weight can
raise 16,600 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain l'amp 9,000 lbs. in half a mlautc. Thus a continual and most
extra,,rdinary lucrative advantage is gained ever perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clonten Roberts, Est., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which 'most a good
deal of Felly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Itaddley, London, an everlasting pimp-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an Ignorant pump book-maker. asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,163, and in No. 496, Book-makar
remarks are preposterous. However, on the ether hand, Dz. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many ether discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and susta;n.
able character:—The Fountain rump is the meet important improve-
ment in the art of rasing water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement la the metal arts in
modern times. _

The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below anti above 100 feet altitude,
tbr man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 110 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is Guaranteed
at less coot than common pumps. _ . _
