This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the
Concentrated Essenees of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by
licence from the Patentee.

The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has
been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is
this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex-
tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved.
The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention
of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee
used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown.
The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences,
secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of
climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im-
modiate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy
itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use.
One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be
sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of
the finest quality.

The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub-
loined

" I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and
wholesome beverage ; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process,
which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent
matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the
exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put
up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un-
changed for any length of time.
(Signed) "ANDREW URE, M.D., FRS.,
"Analytical Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c., &c."
The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of
the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea
Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent
judge is the result :
"W. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es-
sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them
clean, full and perfect.

" By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely
preserved, and without the crude or fibrous property which ordinary
methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive
flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, Sec., are completely preserved,
so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any
number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused
after the common method. This result may be regarded as the
acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda-
tion.

"The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro-
matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without
the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the
Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so
naturally developed as rot to be mistaken.

LEA. and PERRIN'S WORCESTERSHIRE
SAUCE is pronounced by connoisseurs to be " the only
good sauce" for enriching gravies, or as a zest for fish, curries, coups,
game, steaks, cold meat, &c. The approbation bestowed on this
sauce having encouraged imitations, the Proprietors deem it necessary
to caution purchasers to ask for "Lea aed Perrin's Worcestershire
Sauce," and to observe that the same is embossed on Bett's metallic
capsules, which they have adopted as a protection to the public.
Sold, wholesale, retail, and for exportation, by the proprietors,
Vere street, Oxford-street; Crosse and Blackwell, Soho-square;
Barclay and Sons, Farringdon-street ; and by venders of sauces
generally.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
possess the following properties, and are now practically
admitted to be the only security for effectually preserving the con-
tents of bottles, jars, pots, &c.
They are applicable to these vessels, of every size and shape, from
the smallest phial to the mouth of a jar or pot three inches in
diameter : _ _

They are made of a metal free from every impurity, non-corrosive
in its ngture, and consequently, not subject to oxidation, nor pervious
to moisture. . . _

They preserve the contents of the vessels to which they are applied
perfectly air-tight ; thus securing them from becoming vapid, mouldy,
or fetid. _

They effectually protect the Corks from the ravages of insects, and
the noxious influence of the musk rat and other vermin.

They supersede the use of wire, wax, bladder, &c., and the uni-
versally acknowledged inefficiency of tin-foil ; the capsule being made
of solid metal, has not only sufficient strength of itself to secure effer-
vescing liquids, but is much handsomer in appearance than the above
useless tinsel, besides having the advantage of being applied with
much greater ease and rapidity.
They have also the very important property of affording absolute
security against the possibility of fraudulent substitutions.
In addition to the advantages before enumerated, the use Of the
Capsules prevents the liquid from oozing out of the mouth of the
bottle, completely removes all cause of complaints (particularly in
tropical climates), against the adhesion of the wax and other coating
matter, to the fingers, when tke cork is extracted—staining every-
thing with which it comes in contact ; and prevents the falling of
such offensive matter into the bottle or glass, which frequently dete-
riorates, and even destroys, the natural properties of the liquid.
Exporters desirous of availing themselves of this valuable inven-
tion, in giving their orders for Wines, Ales, Porter, Cider, Preserved
Fruits, Vinegar, Pickles, Sauces, Chemicals, Oils, Mustard, Ink,
Blacking, &c., &e., need only direct their tradesmen to cover the
bottles, or other packages, with the Patent Metallic Capsule, which
will not incur extra expense.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the teste six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Cleb-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, sad 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 Dofries'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 most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be ferwarded by pest),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.
Warranted to keep correct in all weathers.
