CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.
Testimonials from the mast eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be fi rwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.
Warranted to keep correct in all weathers.

ILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
1.„, and injurious Metals, called Nickel and Gerrnaa Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON", 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgete, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
It does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

Fiddle. Threaded. King's.
Table Spoons and Forks, Ms, 6d. doz. 30s. 3.55.
Desert Ditto •• 12s. Gd. 255. 28s.
Tea Spoons.. • • .
Sugar Tongs ••• • • •
C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this 3letal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is ftom all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enlogiums he re•
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.
C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had
Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address.
PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
IS wax candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new patterns; comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for Gs. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.
