CERTIFICATE.

" In. a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta-
blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
N'. 4, 49 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner."

T. W. REATES, Consulting Chemist,
J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.

The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly-
technic Institution, and may he had and seen from 11 till 4, at the
Patentees. GO, St:Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; at of all Gas Fitters.

WEST WHEAL JEWEL MINING ComrANT.—Wed-
nesqay. a special meeting of this company was held at the
office in Old Broad-street. Mr Heron took the chair.
The object of the meeting was ler forfeiting a number of
shares on which the last call remained unpaid. After
some discussion it was agreed unanimously that all
shares on which the last call of 10s. remained unpaid
should not be forfeited till the end of October. In con-
sequence of some of the Cornish shareholders having
disapproved of this meeting, a resolution in its favour was
passed unanimously, so as t.) julify the directors in their
proceedings. As regards the mine, the chairman said
they had diminished the extent of the workings in the
northern part, which had reduced the expenditure from
80(Ul. or 9001 to 4001. or 5001. From the last report it
would appear that they had about 9,0001. worth of cop-
per ore in prospect. The prospects of the tin lodes were
also favourable. A shareholder observed that this was
the most favourable news they had received for the last
four years. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the
meeting adjourned.
Mr. Thomas Score, of Okeford-Fitzpaine, Dorset,
has, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop,
with his usual liberality, again reduced the rent of his

si.,.cerely to be hoped that every wealthy landowner will
follow so praisew)rthy an !MI ple.—Salisbury Journal.
