ANTI DRY-ROT COMPANY.
KYA S PATENT

FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ALL TIMBERS, CANVASS, CORDAGE,
&C. FROM DRY-ROT AND DECAY.
Conskituted by Act of Parliament.
THE Directors of the above Company beg to call the atten-
tion'of the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public at large to
one of the most important discoveries ever made-, " viz. that of
preserving, at a moderate expense, all Timber, Canv• ss, Cord-
age, &c. from the destructive ravages of Dry Rot, ildew, and
Decay.
As this process, disoogered by Mr. KYAN, has ow stood the
test of eight years' trial and proof, without asi le instance of
failure ever occurring, (as can be proved by uments and the
indisputable testimonials of men of the first talent and experi-
ence,) the Directors refrain from expatiating further as to the
perfect reliance that may be placed on it, but refer to the evi-
dence of Professor Farady, Sir Robert Smirke, &c. The pur-
poses for which the Company has been formed, and for which
an Act of Parliament has been obtained, are for the establish-
ment of Public Tanks in large Towns for the -preparation of
Timber, &c. ; and, in order to diffuse more widely the benefits
of this invaluable discovery, to grant Licenses for the use of the
Patent Process to Timber Merchants, Ship Builders, &c., for
the purposes of Trade, and to the Nobility and Gentry, for
their private Estates. The advantages arising from Mr.
Kyan's process are obvious. By its adoption all Wood is pre-
served from the destructive ravages of Dry Rot; and the l'im-
ber of an inferior description, such as Beech, Larch, Poplar,
Scotch Fir, &c., is rendered available fu. all domestic and
agricultural purposes. It has, moreover, the property of sea-
soning Timber at once, so that a Tree may be felled with the
leaf growing, and, after immersion in the solution, may be im-
mediately applied to those uses for which long seasoned Timber
is now conceived to be requisite, without ever being,eliable, as
every species of unprepared Wood is, to Dry-rot and Decay.
PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE PREPARED TIMBER, &C. IS
AVAILABLE.

PUBLIC \VoßKs.—Docks, Bridges, Piers and Piles, Sleepers
for Railways.
SHIPPING.—Steam-boats, Barges, Boats, Masts and Span,
&c.

BUILDINGS TN GENERAL,—Posts, Rails, Gates, Fences,
Park Palings, HOD Poles, &c. For these purposes any kind of
timber may now be used instead of the more expensive kinds.
It will also supersede, in many cases, the employment of iron,
front its acquired durability and greater economy.
PREPARED CANVASS, CALICO, ROPES for Sails, Hammocks,
&c., Tents, Awnings and Cloth Blinds, Rick Cloths, Tar-
paulings, Sacks, Bags, Fishing nets, &c.
Further particulars and every information may be obtained
by application to the Agent, 10, Old Church-yard, Liverpool.

PROSPECTUS.

EXPERIENCE in recent extensive Mining Operations in
England, and especially in Cornwall, has tended fully to
Justify the conclusion, that in no other part of the world can that
pursuit be followed up with greater advantage to the capitalist.
fo those who have noticed its progress in this country, it will
,appear manifest that in nearly all cases in which failure has en-
sued, it has proceeded either from palpable mismanagement,
disagreement amongst the adventurers, or a want of sufficient
funds to prosecute effectually the undertaking; -hence it bar,
pens that many truly valuable Mines have been -abandoned be-
fore those depths have been reached where the most valuable
deposits of ore are usually found. It will be the object of this
Company to guard against such fatal errors, and, by means of
a commanding capital, practical and experienced Agents of
known integrity and judgment, and a strict observance of eco-
nomy in every department, to secure those advantages which
others, from either of the causes already mentioned, have failed
to attain. _

The following mines have been secured on the most advan-
tageous terms :
In the neighbourhood of Callington, Cornwall,
WHEAL MARTHA. I WEST WHEAL FRIENDSII/r•
WHEAL EDWARD- WHEAL CONCORD. -
Mr. HUGH SNELL, Purser.
Near St. Austell, Cornwall,
THE WINDSOR. I NEW TRESAVEAN.
WHEAL CASTLE. WHEAL. GOFFIN.
Mr. WILLIAM JAGO, Purset.
These various Mines have been selected principally on ac-
count of their easiness of access, facility of working, simplicllY
of machinery, and mineral riches. From the great improve-
ments which within the last few years have been made in the
methods of applying machinery to mining purposes, and the in-
troduction of an improved process in smelting, as regards ar-
gentiferous ores, and from the arrangements made to secure all
the advantages of scientific assistance, combined with integrity
and economy in the management, the Directors confidently ta,-
ticipate that sufficient profits will be derived from the concern
to satisfy the most sanguine expectations of the Proprietors.
Application for Shares to be made (if by letter, free of pott-
age) to Messrs. LACY and BRIDGES, Solicitors, No. 19, King
Arms Yard, Coleman-street; J. S. MASSETT, Esq., No. 4,

Office of the Company, No. 3, Copthall-buildings, London; or

ings, Liverpool; of whom Prospectuses and any further infor-
mation may be obtained.
