11/ AISING Ve ATER discovered by the FOUN.
_IL%) TAIN" which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse-
quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land.

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
suffice :

" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain

. .
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly left with put calking."
" The Argus brig, f:orn Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump clunked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. ,
The New Portab:e Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, fo- out of eighteen different properties on
fire in and near the city, they saved eleven ,olely and seven maiuly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks; and in the ••
eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyers, and 12,0V0/. worth of consigned pro-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, a.A flour miPs, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.

" North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfak Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they
will do the work, whlch proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.
Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus : —The quantity 01' water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee:s half the power consented, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best 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 rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented front
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best now heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 Ilse. 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
extrasrdinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esi., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French rump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side wills the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. it addley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewhank„kmerica, an ignorant pump lsook•maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. Bat the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millinglon's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after wihiessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the folio wing true and susta'n-
able character: —The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
ment in 'he art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; deliv,ring from half a pint per
stroke to 102 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps.

TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Ang. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the lierbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hal r on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whale of her hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was beesre the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weeliley inserts this testimony to tho virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund-
ance, butt as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a plesenre in answering any
•ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant ancl'eurly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
Bair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
/lest aromatic herbs end flowers with confldsnce ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes is a ue,st necessary companion
t the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the grown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
h-nir. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on thildreits heads in a few appplications. razed on infsnts'
i h2ads, t has 541 a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair,—See

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing, them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
arc continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
Ihe old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringersent, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
be small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at Intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolving ball, baying
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route melt
Perfectly. The capabilities of this machine arc best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a largo
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be'obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermy►►-street, St.
James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s,. brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the
principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where
applications for shares may be addressed.

the stomach from the admission of damps, and to relieve those who
suffer from difficulty of breathing.

111 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
titter Pm latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosNr, hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social context. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice denaalol tkat health should form au item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
