The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th victoria, cap. 85,
are 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-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleanstng a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
Mous and etTectivo 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
the snail or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
srcating 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 double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as ef 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, Jennyn-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.

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never he 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 SRA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glorious results. Tyr* testimonial extracts shall
suttee :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means et
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, twr. seams In the bottom
being partly lett without calking."
" The Argus brig, from CAlliZ, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, -and soon after her common primp cheated and became use-
lerazi Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Fenn-
taju rump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in AC.
Val without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely la London,
with a think God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service thaw a
ire brigade. They act instantaneously at the oatbreak of a fire.
"We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boen to so-
ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
Ire 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, alessre. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty ; Stake mustard, starch, :cad flour ,inn, and Aleears. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, Just in nine to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread aroaud de-
straction and death.
" North Waisham.—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."—Norfelk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich tire June 2, 1847, 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 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 if the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. -Yong •
and Hutton, with many ether eminent experimenters, lamented
thus : —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeis half the power consumed, 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 auginented,ftem
twelve to tweuty (or aboat seventy per cent.), and freettently.With-
out more outlay.
Most men can gustatn heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, hut
ening 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 10,000 lbs. of water one feet high in a minute, and with a }Van-
tain Pump 9,000 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, Esq., i■ his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French hump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain I'ump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. aiallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. liaddley, 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,alull
and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Milling:On's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the ether hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
alter witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the inveution the following true and susta n-
able character:—The Fountain Puma is the moot important improve-
ment in she art of ratting 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 10e barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps
