EIGHT FIRES AT NORWICH
Have recently been extinguished by
SH ALDERS' PATENT PORTABLE FIRE—
ENGINE.

(THE NEW PROPERTY PROTECTOR).
These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately
where they can assail the main source of the fire at close
quarters, to the grea•est advantages; when they deliver their
whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with
unerring certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the
tires are banged out before the common engines can be brought
into action. _

If the engins lever be worked briskly with one hand, and
the delivery pipe pointe.l at a window 10 feet distance with
tke other hand, it will show how furiously, steadily, and irre-
sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the
terrific foe.

Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 61. 16s.
each.

N.B. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine
Ipon a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent
garish Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli-
vering at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per
,iudr. But with the former Parish Pump (which was one of
;he best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not
IS barrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the
flames would have gained the ascendancy. London is a century
ehind Norwich in Hydraulic Machines.
See " TUE SUN" paper, July 10, 1841, and "Norwich
Mercury,"* March 5, 1842, where all my inveterate opponents
are alarmed, ehapfallen, and laughed at, for they dare not even
try to obtain the 100/. reward offered. " Because dame Nature
has entered her imperative caveat this I" SHALDERS'
PUMP SHALL NEVER BE SURPASSED, which is now
practically preyed to be the only effective, invariable water-
elevator in existence, and when well carried out the most
durable pump in the world. It stands work as well for lifts
shove as below 100 feet, and it would be strange indeed if it
lid not, as a good Connector (of a Fountain Pump) will sustain
a pressure of 50 atmospheric whilst less than a quarter •f that
iirei,sure would deliver water rapidly 365 feet high, or over St.
i*aurs-cross, London. W. SHALDERS.
Hydraulic-street, Nerwkh, June IA, 1842.

REMARKS BY EMINENT MEN UPON THE IN-
VENTION—SEPARATELY AND JOINTLY.
SEPARATELY.—" The Fountain Pump is free from the de-
fec•ts and liabilities of the Friction Pump, and approaches a
perfect, hydraulic machine."—Dr. Birkbeck.--" Shalders
has copied Nature, and arrived at iserfection."—Ebednur.—
" •rhis pump is free from friction anal leakage, and is not liable
to choke."--Bay, Civil Engineer.--" This is TIM Pump."
Partington.
JOINTLY.—" The Fountain Pump is the most important
improvement in the art of raising water, that has appeared
within the last 2,000 years. It is the greatest advancement in
the useful arts in modern times, and cannot fail to act in the
preservation of life and property from fire and water to an ex-
tent beyond ealoulation."
