PROSPECTUS.

The numerous and extensive robberies which have been
recently effected constitute a new era in the annals of crime,
both as regards the value of the property stolen, and the
secrecy with which the burglaries have been accomplished,
and against which all ordinary means of security are ap-
parently of no avail.
. The modern thief and housebreaker sets at defiance the
most approved lock, the best constructed iron safe, the
strongest fastenings, and the most vigilant watching; so that
the property of bankers, jewellers, and other important
establishments, the occupants of hotels, the commercial
warehouse and the private residence, are alike accessible to
his reckless skill. _ _ _

Happily the ingenuity of the age is as fertile in defensive
as in aggressive measures ; and however singular the proposal
to establish a company for the prevention of burglary and fire
may at first appear, a calm consideration of the various useful
and novel purposes to which the discoveries of science are
now applied ill dispel much of the wonder that may be felt
at such a proposition, and a cursory examination of the
very simple, yet highly ingenious and efficacious invention,
the general use of which it is proposed to carry out through
the instrumentality of &Joint-Stock Company, will convince
the most sceptical that scientific means are capable of being
easily and successfully applied to the protection of both life
and property. _ _

Before going further into the matter, and (on account of
the startling nature of the proposition) to propitiate the
mind of the . reader, the promoters beg to call attention to
extracts from many daily and weekly London newspapers,
published within the last few weeks, which may be obtained,
with the prospectuses, at the Offices, to show the opinion
entertained by the Press of the invention in question ; nor
is such opinion confined to the Press alone, for scientific
men, of the highest standing, have equally borne testimony
to its merits. The adoption by the public generally of this
invention amounts almost to a positive certainty, and must
in consequence, in a pecuniary point of view, insure results
highly remunerative to the Shareholders.
The invention is most efficient, inexpensive, and simple.
Its operation cannot be better described than in the words
of the Illustrated Loudon News :—" It consists of a small
spring, concealed in every door, window, shutter, or desk, to
which it may be thought proper to apply it; and it is so
arranged that when any attempt at burglarious entry, oreven
of tampering with a lock, is made, an electric current is com-
pleted, which causes an alarum-bell to ring in the bedroom
of the master of the house. In tho day-time the current can
be shut off by merely turning a handle."
It also affords a timely and effectual warning against fire.
In tho event of more than ordinary heat being generated in
any part of a house, or on board ship, a warning will instan-
taneously be given by the Alarum, and an Indicator will point
to the word " Fire."

Upon premises left at night au Alarum may be fixed on the
top of the buildieg connected with every nook, corner, door,
shutter, window, &c., and upon the occurrence of unusual
heat, or any attempt to enter, this poworful Alarum will
immediately arouse the whole neighbourhood.
For attaining the objects before adverted to, for detecting
the attempts of prisoners to effect their escape, for guarding
game preserves (however far removed from gamekeepers'
lodges), giving timely notice of undue heat generating fire in
Government and private depots, arsenals, warehouses, &c.,
this invention has no parallel. It is as nearly certain of
general adoption as the gas now burning in our crowded
streets. _ _

The way in which the invention is intended to be applied
to public use is, as before stated, both simple and eheap,
The occupier may, at his option, either purchase the appa-
ratus, or pay the Company a small annual sum for the use
of it.

Arrangements have been made with the proprietors of the
patent for the transfer of the same, together with the models,
&c., &c., to the Company,
To carry this out, and to afford an ample margin for duly
working the patents and inventions, it is proposed to esta-
blish a Joint-Stock Company, under the Limited Liability
Act, with a capital of 100,000/., in 50,000 shares, of W. each.
Upon an estimate that only a very molerate number of
houses iu London and throughout the country will use the
apparatus, at a minimum rent of 2/. 2s. per anmum, and
upon careful calculations made, it is estimated that, at the
eud of the first year's operations, a dividend of 15 co 20 per
pent. will be paid to the Shareholders.

In addition, the use of the apparatus in ships, to give no-
tice of undue heat, spontaneous combustion, tize. , and the
other sources of income above referred to, and various use.
ful purposes to which the invention can be applied, such as
an alarum in shops, and for domestic purposes, aro calcu-
lated to produce a further considerable increase of duty.
A large number of the shares have been already applied for.
Applications for prospectuses and for the limited number of
shares remaining to be issued may be made to the Brokers,
Messrs. Ballantine and Read, No. 4, Austin-friars, London ;
or to the Secretary, 25, Poultry ; or the Solicitors, 7, St.
Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square.
Applicants will be required to pay the sum of 10s. per share
on the shares applied to the Bankers of the Company, or to the
Secretary, for which they will give a proper receipt, which
amount will be retained on account of the shares allotted.
The remaining 1/. 10s. per share will be called for after the
Certificate of Incorporation has been obtained. In the event
of less than the whole number applied for being allotted, the
amount paid in excess will be repaid ; should no allotment
be made to the applicant, the money lodged with the Bankers
will be forthwith returned.
NOTICE.—The apparatus may be seen in operation daily, be-
tween the hours of eleven and five, at the Offices of the Com-
pany, 25, Poultry. 11. IL DENNYS, Sec.
