the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
Jr. brigade. They act instantaneously at the oatbreak •f a fire.

" I,Y; aro delighted with the inyentioa—it is a great boot to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.

The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for oat of eighteen different properties on
tro in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
iaclading in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barra?ks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Borton's dyery, and 12,605/. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and tour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just is time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein front exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.

" North Walshaiti.—At this tre the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by haying one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
tie property new destroyed might have been saved."—Norfulk Chr•-
iicle, August 22, 1846.

At a Norwich ere Jane 4, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the pnblic. The cry was, feet the little engines end they
will de the work, whieh proved tree. The four large engines present
preyed useless.

Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozes atmo-
spheres.
Now the faet is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pimps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bed 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 Dutton, with many ether eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity et' water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeCs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwnstardirir; the beet 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 wos, and
won for ever; for friction and leakage are sow both annihilated by
the new rolling principle is pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most Min can sustain heavy rapid pump trials fur 40 seconds, but
sense men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Frie-
ties Pump an active sound-winded young mai of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,00 e ibs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,00 e lbs. is half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual lad uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
Jolla Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,111, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Hallett, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. iladdley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbask, America, as ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-feeled John Bull
aid Paddy is No. 1,153, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
b.ek, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
Melt* wiimessial the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and eusta!n-
alee character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
went is the art of rasing water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest adcalicerteat is the useful arts in
modem times.
The Consamniation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for plicate and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, aid rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at tem cost than common pumps.
