ANDREW SMITH'S PATENT WIRE ROPE, FOR
STANDING RIGGING.
THE notice of Shipowners, Shipmasters, and others, is
respectfully requested to the following testimonials of
the superiority of the above Rope over Hempen Cordage.
The Patentee, in consequence of his Rope coming greatly
into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per
cwt. to 60s. per cwt., making it fully 30 per Cent. cheaper
than Hemp Rope.

" Stu.,—l have much pleasure in giving my fullest appro-
val of the excellency of your Wire Rigging, of which I judge
from experience. The Steam-ship Liverpool, under my
command. six voyages to New York and back, during which
period the Ship experienced much severe weather, the Wire
Rigging stood admirably, and in no instance failed.
" I would recommend your Rigging being set up with
Dead Eyes and Rope Lanyards, and to go over the Mast-
heads in the usual manner.

GENTLEMEN,—As Captain and Owner of the Marshall
Schooner, I have much pleasure in stating, that Mr. Andrew
Smith's Patent Wire Rope has been used on board my Ves-
sel for Stays, Shrouds, Tompast Rigging, Jib Guys, Martin-
gale Stays, Bowsprit Shrouds, &c., for upwards of five years,
and in no instance has it failed. On stripping the Foremast
Rigging, after experiencing very severe weather in the North
Seas, and elsewhere, during the above time, I am proud to
say that the Patent Wire Rope was as perfect as the first
daj it was made ; and, so confident am I of its advantages
over Hemp Rigging, that I shall not only adopt it in all ves-
sels that 1 am connected with, but consider it my duty to
the Patentee, 4nd also my Brother Owners and Commanders,
to recommend it generally for their adoption.
`• I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
" Sincerely your weliwisher,
" THOMAS MARSHALL.

" GENTLEMEN,--In reply to your letter of this morning,
I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope
for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on board
of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-go-Bragh, and
which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of
its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging
of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Origntal, and
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
first put on board those Steamers,. and, as regards the two
first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I
find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for
as it becomes
andi like a bar of iron when well set up,

" GENTLEMEN,-At the request of the Patentee, Mr.
Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent
Wire Rigging fitted to the iro❑ ship John Garrow, of 711
tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England
to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was
tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel-
lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces-
sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has
performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite
to do so.

" I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its
great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen cordage,
being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the
latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have,
experienced, much more durable. The .Tohn Garrew s
Lower Rigging is only 3i inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas,
had it been Hemp, 81 inch would have been required.
