GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR
CISTERNS,
And Portable Filters of all Dimensions.
BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE prevailing opinion of tho impurity of the
Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is
Fe well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous
Testimonials of the most Eminent of the Metropolitan
Faculty, that any comment in this place would appear
like •qtwstioning the national eotnmon sense. We will
therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by
Dr. JA MPS JOHNSON and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa-
mination- in the Hoes* of Commons.

Dr. JAsins JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on
Indigestion," pronounces the water to be die ersting to the
sight, and the etiluvia to affect the senses.

And he thns concludes—" We sneer," says the dostgr,
" at the delicacy of the Ilindoo, who 81,kos Lis thirst at
the same tank wham his neighbour is sacriscing to Cloacina ;
but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of 'Westmin-
ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from
the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou-
send eloaccr, conlaixing EVERY SPECIES OF mum AND
ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their
hideous and abominable contents. It i 3 absolutely asto-
nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and
cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
will shudder, if they can credit ii"

Dr. Kaantsott makes ns acquainted with a fact, the
perusal of which will excite the same di-gust in the mind
of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in-
specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Mine-
lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of uNnivinsn
FLOATING FILTH FROl►( ratvms;" from which he con-
eludes, that "a considerable legantity ofshuman excre-
ment, in a subdivided cod undecomposed state, actually
passes into our cisterns."

THE VALUABLE PATENT RIGHT, AND POW.

ERFtTL MODEL
Mr. R. BARLOW'S ORIGINAL MOTION.

31 It. F;Eb. ROBINS is instructed to Set
-1. by AUCTION, at the Auction Mart in London,
on Tnt:usDAT, the Stith of rebruary, at Twelve, a very
Valuable Invention, recured by Patent P.ight, of a most
INGENIOUS MECHANICAL INVENTION,
Designated Air. R. Barlow's
NEW PATENT MOTION.

he object of thi3 great discovery may be thus abridged :
•It will supersede the ordinary crank
IN STEAM ENGINES,
flee Rehinett, great beam, parallel motion, external fly-
wheel, reducing all friction, and leaving no other hamar
on the piston hat the work intetirled to he aeoomplished.
l'his " original motion," universal in its action, is simple
in its combination, and may be adapted to
XL'. KINDS OF MACHINERY,
WITH OR WITHOUT STEAM.

The propnlsion of ships, canal and other boats, chain-
fjr.s, and other pampa, to carriages of all descriptions
Amongst its manifold advantages, it may be steed that its
West is equal in every position. It is a direct and perfectly
metilinear motion, and its movement caay and smooth, by
of having only two revolving wheels to put the whole
in motion. It is more compact, and its weight less, than
other engines, and it possesses a manifest increase of
power ; besides which, its immense saving in feel, and its
moderate cost in erection, are advantages that it is believed
only regnire to be known to be duly appreciated.

This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies,
the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
erystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
destroying both SMELL' and TASTE. Its adaptation to
Cisterns enhances its valeable qualities, by obviating the
trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
ensures an effectual preventive against the poesibility of
employing any other Water than that which has passed the
Filter, either for Culinary operation*, or in' fart for any
domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra-
tion, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro-
prietor does not state the precise number of Gallons capable of
being produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so
fast as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
state.—lts moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards,
bat rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimension;
of Cisterns) liy rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers,
confers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
cause of a multitude of Diseu.ses, which are justly attri-
butable to the noxious particles contained in the Water.
To accommodate Private Families who desire to have
Portable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are
to be had of all dimensions at the Office in the Strand, and
are forwarded to all parts of England.

The Model may be viewed nt Mr. It Barlow's (tbs ps•
tentee), No. 58, Quadrant, in Regent-street, who veil
attend until the sale, to explain more particulttr:y its vn•
luable properties.

Printed particulars (with a full description), may be
Lail also at Ow Mart, and in o)eent-garden.
