DIAMOND OIL LAMP.-NEW LIGHT.
The Diamond Lamp is the best light in the werld—is used la
all the palaces in Europe—is free from all the imperfections of ordi-
nary oil lamps—so simple it cannot be anistaanaged—no cleaning re-
quired for years—costs less in burning than any common oil lamp—
gives double the light of candle lamps, at one-half the expease—this
is beyond doubt. Designs suited to every taste—the Diamond Lamp
is perfection in Light—the public, will have none other—it can be
fitted to any person's lamp pillar.
To be had only at the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light
Company, RICHARD CLARK, Resident Manager, 447, West Strand.

THE AMERICAN METALIC TABLET
STROP, of G. SAUNDERS, is used and recommended by
the first cutlers in Europe, and they are convinced that the Tablet
make the razor shave with more ease than by any other method.
Gentlemen are requested to bring in a dull razor and try them before
they purchase. For sale at the Depot, 275, Strand.

R&ISIN G WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; Gouge-
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
sufnee :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the 'cleans et
saving the ship and 230 souls on heard, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked 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-englaes 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-
eiety."—Editors Liverpool Mall.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, lbr out of eighteen different properties en
fire In and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly.
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and In the
eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, a•id flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in Um. to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction arid death.
" North Walsham.—lt this fire the Pertable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt bat half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfelk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich fire June 2, T 847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.
Now the fist is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift PunipA, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water ups ards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage. which I)rs. Young
and Hatton. with many other eminent experimenters. lamented
thus : —The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceek's half the rower consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage; and notwithstandirg 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 from
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 new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,100 lbs. of water one font high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,001 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esc, 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 Pimp, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. 13addley, London, an everlasting pump-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. 1.183, and in No. 496, Rook-maker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. 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
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
fir private 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, and _rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps.
