GUTTA PERCHA TUBING, &c,
The Gutta Percha Company have the pleasure to acknow‘
edge the receipt of the following Testimonials :
(Corr.)

" Stirling, January 25, 1850.

" I have great pleasure in informing you that I had a trial to-day
of the I %-inch gutta peroha tube I had from you in December last,
in presence of a Committee of the Town Council, who were higl!ly
pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 400 feeter
the same for attacking to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and
watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinion that no mate-
rial is so well fitted for the above purpose as the gutta percha, for
although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kingdom, being
upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on
the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends
the rivets in all directions.—l am, your obedient Servant,
"ANDREW ROBERTSON."

to kis late MAJESTY and H.R.EI, the Duke of Cambridge, but
now retired).

" Gentlemen,—Without reference to the 'variety of useful and or-
namental purposes to which gutta percha Is adapted, I consider it in
a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis-
covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit)
certified my decided approval of it for the under soles of shoes, and I
have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress
shoes and boots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es-
sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable,
I cannot too highly recommend the gutta percha for tubing and
lining.

" I am, gentlemen, your humble servant.
" J. TAYLOR GORDON."
(The above is the second voluntary testimonial).
FROM DR. MURRAY, OF NULL.
(Corr.)

" POrtland-place, Hull, March 28, 1850.

" Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to conceive of anything more in-
jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use
ofleaden pipes for the conveyance of water. The poisonous salts of
lead ther,by communicated are most insiduoui and subtile. I hail
with gratitude the substitution of gutty percha tubing. I have had
the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by one of
gutty percha.
" I am, respectfully, Gen'lemen, your obedient servant,
"d. SaIRRAY, Pm. D."

In consequence of improved machinery, whereby a continuous
supply of gutta percha is maintained, the Outta Percha Company are
enabled to supply the tubing in much greater lengths than formerly.

9d per boll; and flour participated in the improvement.
Barley was more inquired after, and rather dearer.
Oats and oatmeal have to be written 3d to 6d higher per
boll or load respectively. Beans and peas were in better
request, with the turn in favour of sellers. Indian corn
was held at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight.

ply, and 2s per quarter dearer since this day week. Fo-

BIRMINGHAM, JULY n.—At Gloucester and Wor-
cester markets on the sth wheat of all descriptions was
fully is per quarter dearer. atr!ey held fur rather more
money. Oats unaltered, with a limited sale. Beans and
peas inquired for. During the week but little wheat
has been offering, and a further advance of Is to 2s per
quarter has been realised. At Wolverhampton to-day
it was fully the latter dearer, but this improvement did
not extend to any other article of the trade, barley, oats,
beans, and peas being all nominally same as before. At
this day's market there was only a limited supply of
wheat, and we raise our quotations 2s per quarter, but
