EIGHT FIRES AT. NORWICH
Have recently been extinguished by
SHALDERS' 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 greatest advantages ; when they deliver their
Whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with
%alerting certainty and such surprising impetuosity, that the
fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought
hato action.
If the engine lever be worked briskly with one hand, and
the delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with
the other hand; it will show bow furiously, steadily, and irre-
sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the
terrific foe.
Engines elegant, durable, and complete in Brass 61. 16s.
esch.
N.B. There is not yet in existence a good fire-engine
uon a large scale. At Alderman Butcher's fire the Patent
rarish Pump filled 12 large pails with water per minute, deli-
vering at the rate of 50 and the two Engines 30 barrels per
hour. But with the former Parish Pump (which was one of
The best brass lift-force pumps of the London made trash) not
15 barrels an hour could have been raised, and probably the
flames would have gained the ascendancy. London is a century
Alaind Norwich in Hydraulie Machines.
See "THE Sow" paper, July 10, 1841, and "Norwich
Mercury," March 5, 1842, where all my inveterate opponents
are alarmed, hepfallen, and laughed at, for they dare not even
try to obtain the 1001. reward offered. " Because dame Nature
has entered her imperative caveat thus !" SHALDERS'
PUMP SHALL NEVER BE SURPASSED, which is now
practically proved 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
sbove 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 of that
pressure would deliver water rapidly 365 feet high, or over St.
Paul's-cross, London. W. SHALDERS.
Hydraulic-street, Norwich, June 18, 1842.

REMARKS BY EMINENT MEN UPON THE IN-
VENTION—SEPARATELY AND JOINTLY.
SEPARATELY.—" The Fountain Pump is free from the de-
tect' and liabilities of the Friction Pump, and approaches a
Perfeet hydraulic machine."—Dr. Birkbeck.—" Shalders
has copied Nature, and arrived at perfection."—Ebedour.—
" This pump is free from friction and leakage, and is not liable
to choke."--Hay, Civil Engineer.—" This is Tux Pump."
•-..Partington.
JOINTLY.—" The Fountain Pump is the most important
haprovement 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 frost fire and water to an ex-
tent beyond calculation."

SHALDERS' PATENT PUMP.
At a Vestry Meeting held at St. Michael's at Plea, Nor-
Wich, April 2Sth, 1842, the Parishioners unanimously con-
gratulated Mr. Shalders upon having, last May, fitted the
parish up with an efficient, permanent, economical, and in-
variable Pump (60 feet in length). It was rightly remarked,
that although the water delivered by the former Pump was com.
Monly cloudy, that delivered by the present one has been uni-
formly clear, and raised with half the labour.

13t1TCHER and SON beg to return their most grateful
thanks to those friends and neighbours who so kindly and
promptly rendered them their assistance to extinguish the Fire
on their Premises on Wednesday last.
And the, likewise take this opportunity particularly to re-
commend Mr. Shalders' Portable Fountain Engine, which was
fouad so efficient in preserving their premises from total de-
struction.

REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE " NORFOLK
CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES
AFTER THE FIRE:—
" About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the
premises of Hr. Botcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered
10 be on fire 1w the night watch, whe gave the alarm and called
Nr. Butcher sp. It was at first difficult to discover in the
da,k what part of the premises was on fire. Mr. Butcher
thoigrlit that it triginated at his neighbour's house, but going
ap to the top othis premises he perceived where it was ; when
he came down aid opened the door of his store-room over the
hack part of his slop, the fire and smoke but st forth so violently
that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the
ire had originatedin this store-room directly over a paper loft,
lut how, it is impo,ible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from. over the
Way, immediately irouglit two of his engines, by means of
which Mr. Butcherittributes his house being saved ; and per-
haps the whole suet. for there being . a good deal of gnn-
powder on the preriiies, had this ignited the consequences
Would have been awul. Notwithstanding the natural agita-
tion occasioned by tie near prospect of danger from fire, Mr.
I3utcher himself relieved the gunpowder from the premises,
and most of the gods from the warehouse and shop were
brought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea
Church. The engine from the Guildhall was on the spot
within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it
Was impossible to bring this into play for some time, as
the water was not turned on; but in the meanwhile
21.4. Shalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother
the other) were supplied with buckets full of water from
the pump near at sand. Mr. M. Yarington and his men acted
with much energy ind promptitude. Mr. Steel, Mr. Plummer,
Shalders, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were
snort zealous in then services. In about an hour and a half all
danger was removal. Mr. Butcher is, we understand, insured
in the Norwich Eouilable Office.
LThe delay whim appears to have occurred in furnishilig the
engines with Ovate' on the above alarming occasion, impera-
vely demands the immediate attention of the proper authori-
ties. If the New Mills Company's works are the main public
guree of supply. sime arrangements should be made for the
r*re sure and speidy turning on the water into the pipes; •r
the city will soonei or later rue the consequences. J

BY THE EDITCR OF TIIE " NORWICH MERCURY."
On Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a fire
was discovered iivthe house of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-
by the watclman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose,
and after vxaminity hi, premises found it had taken place in a
store-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being
given, Mr. Shalders attended with his patent fountain engines,
and after great exertions the fire was extinguished before any
serious consequences bad taken place. There is not the
slightest doubt that this fire would have been attended with a
great less had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was
entirely by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that the fire
wa= so promptly extinguished, it being an hour and ten minutes
before the engines could be got into play ; and at the time the
ire
was discovered the whole store-room was in flames, for on
Mr. Butcher opening the door he was twice knocked down by
the smoke and throes. but fortunately received no injury.
