CAUTION.

TAYLOR and Co. (successors to M'Adam and Co.)
beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur-
porting to be M I NERA L PAINTS which are not supplied from
their Manufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many
persons are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Works
(which has been proved by the highest authorities to be most inju-
rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the
name of their Paints, which have for upwards of twenty years (not-
withstanding the great and open competition) received such extended
patronage from Government, who still continue to use it, and the
following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished Often
in his Majesty's service, will fully prove its durability and economy,
notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and ineffi-
cient imitations. The ingredients these Paints are composed of are
Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late
Earl of Dundonald's Patent, to which no other house has access.
The Mineral Paints are a cheap and durable coating for all out-
door work, sueh as Wooden, Iron, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds, Barn,
Out-housei., Fences, Palings, Gates, Boat and Barge bottotus, Ships'
sides and upper works, Wood and !ton Bridges. I)ocks, Chain
Cables, and all Wood and Iron Work under water, or exposed to the
weather; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent them imbibing water and
being injured by frost ; and for coating Brick walls to prevent damps.
No wood coated with these Paints will be worm-eaten, nor will
insects or vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed frames, or other
places, coated with them, and they wilt be found an effectual cure
for the dry rot; being composed entirely of Mineral substances they
are insoluble in water, and thereby rosin moisture in a manner su-
perior to all other preparations.

Government Certificates of the cheapness and durability of
'Messrs. Taylor and Co.'s Mineral Brown Paint, granted to Messrs.
M'Adam and Co.

" Barrack Office March 14,1814.
" We hereby certify, that the Wooden Barracks in Great Britain
have been, for several years past, covered with Messrs. M' Adana
and Co.'s Mineral Brown Paint, for the preservation of the wea-
ther boarding, and it has fully answered the purpose for which it
was applied.

the Affairs of Barracks. "JOHN STAPLETON, Sec."

" This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at the
desire of Messrs. M'Adam and Co. we made experiments with
their-preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep-
tember, 1806. The situation of the wood and iron work' made use
of In this experiment is. very high, and entirely exposed to the
wind from the Quaint!, where it is difficult to find any coating
able to resist the weather. The paint, after _having withstood the
winter iii the above situation, has formed a very hard and com-
pact body on both wood and iron work; the wood when cut is
hard and very dry ; the iron free from every appearance of rust.—
From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown Paint, its
bard, solid, and impenetrable state, there isivery reason to believe
that it will defend the wood and iron work for years against the
effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ; and we give
it as our opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron
work exposed to the weather or to damp, and consider it to be
cbeaper than any other that can be procured.

" We hereby certify, that Messrs. M'Adam aad Co.'s Mineral
and Brawls Paint has continued in general use in this Department,
for all kinds of fences, since 'the date of the above certificate of
May 26, 1807; that it has also latterly been used on sentry boxes,
travelling magazines, side arm racks, carts, and otheir wood work
exposed to the weather, with every probability of success; we,
therefore, after nearly eight years' additional experience, have no
hesitation in confirming that certificate, as to the general good qua-
lities of the Paint hi question, for the preservation of wood and
iron work. " BEN. JONES. Clerk of Works,

THE BEAU TROOPER ; OR,
COMMAND SUPERSEDED.

ATROOP of Dragoons, when on duty sent out
To scour for marauders the country about,
And, stationed the men in a village obscure,
The lack of convenience constrained to endure,
Their Captain, due care of their comfort whu took,
This edict promuled in the Orderly-Book :
The troop being now under general privation,
Is therefore exempted from all obligation
Of high polished Pouches or Boors; though each man
Will shew these on duty as clean as be can.
Now this was considerate, and gained much good will,
Yet beau Pat O'Brien would be a beau still ;
For when all his comrades in brown Boon and Pouches
Attended parade, honest candour avouches
This fact that Pat constantly came to his duty
In Boots with Pouch of superlative beauty.
0 Why, Pat, you well merit the tide of beau," •
His Officer said, " How is this that you shew,
Thus daily, bright Boon with Japan that may class,
And those of your Captain and comrades surirassr
" Your honour," Pat answered, " I hope no offence,
Though General Privation, a man of much sense
May be, without doubt, yet his order to try on
Of brown Boon and Pouches, with Paddy O'Brien
Won't do, with your lave, while this jewel's not lacking,
A small box producing of WA RIM'S Paste BLAczpia.
Will pleased with the theme of O'Brien's oration,
The Captain assur'd him that General Privation
No longer commanded ; and WA RAIN'S Jet Pais,
Is now in the Regiment the acme of Taste.
