GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR

CISTERNS,
And Portable Filters of all Dimensions.

BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE prevailing opinion ofthe impurity of the
Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is
1.2 Well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous
itatinionials of the most Eminent of the Metropolitan
I'!citilty, that any comment in this place would appear
.4te questioning the national common sense. We will
‘ltiefore confine our observations to the evidence given by
'IT James JOHNSON and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa-
thiation-in the House of Commons.

Pr.'JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the "Treatise on
fight, and
pronounces the water to be disgusting to the
and the effluvia to affect the senses.
he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor,
vat the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at
40 same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ;
13
tit what shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin-
-4el, Who fill their tanks and stomachs with wafer from
the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou-
lcid doacce, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND
aLL lIITETTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their
"eras and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto-
nishing,that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
roils 'whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and
Cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
Will shudder, if the can credit it."
Dr. KERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the
perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind
Pf the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in -
11V.p, ling the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
ige says be saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane-
get sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
tud the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED
ttOATINO FILTII FROM PRIVIES;" from which he CM-
-1,66, that "a considerable quantity of' human exert-
futt, in a4ubdivided and undecomposed state, actually
kases into our cisterns."

This--;;Kieoiiiittation not only clarifies, but purifies,
"44 most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
itZetalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
t=oying kith SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
L 0
b littertts enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
d repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
:Ittres an effectual preventive against the possibility of
pfiloying any other Water thin that which has passed the
either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any
t°lSestie purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra-
stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro-
-silet-or does not state the precise number of Gallons capable of
s produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so
as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
~."4it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
ite.,,,its moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards,
ft,lt tardy exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions
,
to cisterns) by rendering it attainele to all Housekeepers,
Ilrers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
Ctise of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri-
titable to the noxious particles contained in the Water.
t To accommodate Private Families who desire to have
141;rtable .Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are
had of all dimensions at the Office in the Strand, and
'e forwarded to all parts of England.

IN SHROPSHIRE,
BORDERING ON WORCESTERSHIRE.

The Caton Estate, with a superior Residence, Gardens,
and Grounds, a very fine Freehold Investment, includ-
ing upwards of 1,560 Acres of excellent Land, in a
Ring Fence, and Tithe Free ; Four Killers, extending
over 5,000 Acres of Land, with the Advowson ; a
Paper and Corn Mill, superior Farm-houses, and the
Public-house midway between Kidderminster and
Bridgenorth, and Woods abounding with Game; the
present value 2,700/. a-year.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis-
faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, May 21, at Twelve, in
One Lot, at the Auction Mart, London, a singularly ad-
vantageous Investment for Capital, comprehending
THE COTON MANSION AND ESTATE,
THE ADVOWSON OF ALVELEY,
AND 1,560 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND,

TITHE FREE,
AND IN A RING FENCE,
very desirably situate on the borders of Shropshire, the
Turnpike Road from
BATH THROUGH WORCESTER

to SHREWSBURY and HOLYHEAD pissing through
the Property. There are so many and such self-evident
advantages connected with this Invest:uent, th•tt a few
of the more prominent will exhaust the usual limit of an
advertisement. There are

FOUR MANORS,
EXTENDINQ, OVER THE WHOLE PARISH,
OF 5,000 ACRES,

which has an immensity of Game upon it, independently
of ROYALTIES, HERIOTS, CHIEF RENTS, AND APPURTE-
NANCES. .The Residence is of modern structure, ADAPTED
TO A FAMILY OF GREAT RESPECTABILITY, built of Free-
stone, at an expense exceeding 12,0001. It is delightfully
situate, and environed by Pleasure Grounds and Plantations,
laid out in good taste, and presenting A PARK-LIKE AP-
PEARANCE. The Kitchen-gardens are extensive and en.
compassed by lofty walls ; the Offices connected with the
Residence are very commodious and good. The FARM-
HOUSES ARE EXCELLENT, the Agricultural Buildings of the
best description, and the Tenantry highly respectable. The

WOODS ABOUND WITH PHEASANTS.
There is Gravel and Freestone upon the Estate, and it is
hardly doubtful that

COAL AND IRON
may be included in the long list of inviting properties con-.
netted with the Estate. The Markets in the vicinity are
good, and the river Severs approximating upon the Cotes
Property, gives additional facility to the export of the pro-
duce to distant markets. There are Corn and Water Mil;‘,
and the INN ON THE ROAD MIDWAY BETWEEN BRIDGE-
NORTH AND KIDDERMINSTER iS an additional feature.
Indeed it would be very difficult to suggest sr, satisfactory
an Investment, in a County proverbial for all the advan-
tages the most favoured can aspire to.
