its introduction into the county of Lancaster, upon the best prin-
ciple, by the formation of a numerous body of Proprietors, as
Subscribers for Shares at each, to be paid up at distant
dates, in cony enient,sums. All applications for Shares being
accompanied by a Deposit of 2s 6d per Share.
The object of collecting this small deposit, is to put the Pro-
visional Committee in funds to negotiate with the parties who
may have it in their power to facilitate the introduction of this
important discovery into Lancashire, and also to enable them to
remunerate any individuals who may render useful assistance in
maturing and improving its application here.
The Provisional Committee will devote their time gratuitously
to the service of the Company - and has soon as an adequate
number of Shares have been suLscribed for, they will convene
a Meeting for, the Nomination of Directors, by whom the Com-
pany will be organized, and to whom the Provisional Committee
will immediately render an account of the money collected, and
return to each pplicant the Deposit upon any number of Shares
which may be applicant the Deposit upon any number of Shares
which may be allotted to him short of the number subscribed

for.
The Mastic is applicable to the formation of foot-paths, roads,
and highways in general; to the covering roofs of all kinds of
buildings; to the flooring of conservatories, stables, halls, kit-
chens, forecourts, yards, &c, instead of the common pavement
stones or gravel.
It is peculiarly adapted for the formation of terraces and gar-
den-walks, and for the flooring of churches'aud other public
buildings.
It is applicable in place of mortar and cement to all kinds of
hydraulic works, and for bridges, aqueducts, reservoirs, baths,
arches, tunnels, &C. and to a great mail), other purposes, both
useful and ornamental.
One of its most valuable properties is, that it is alike unaffected
by heat or cold, and is impervious to rain, damp, or vermin. It
will consequently be of great use in granaries and malt-houses.
Engineers and scientific men of the first distinction, both in
France and England, have tested the material, and are unani-
mous in their opinions of its excellence and durability.
In France the ASPH A LTE has been used for several years with
unqualified success. The Place de la Concorde, in front of the
Tuileries, the footway of the Bridge of the Pont Royal, part of
the Boulevards, the f:avalry Barracks, and various otherplaces
where it has been laid down as a pavement instead of stone, all
bear testimony to its superiority for the purpose. No,better
proof can he given of its estimation in the French capital, than
its universal adoption by the Government, and the fact of the
Shares of the French Asphalte Company hein gat a considerable
premium, the Company having declared a dividend of 30 per
cent.

„....
The like success - has attended the formation of a Company in
Belgittm, where the facilities for the introduction and use of the
material are much inferior to those of this country.
Application for Shares are to be made to Messrs. LowNnEs
and ROBINSON, Solicitors, Brunswick-street, Liverpool, by
whom a Receipt for the Deposit of Two Shillings and Sixpence
per .Sharo will be, given in the name of the ProvisionnlCommit-

WELLS & M'NEILL,
MANUFACTURERS OF
IMPROVED PATENT FELT FOR SHEATHING
SHIPS' BOTTOMS, 4-c.
FACTORY AT LA•MB'S BUILDINGS, BUNDILL-ROW,
.office,at No. 31, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, London.
'THE present Manufacturers, (who have recently purchased
the Patent of this valuable concern,) in re-offering the
IMPROVED PATENT SHEATHING FELT to the no-
tice of Ship Owners, Ship Builders, Railroad Companies,
Builders, and others, deem it unnecessary to say anything with
regard to the importance of such a material, as its character and
uses are now so well appreciated, particularly by Ship'Builders,
that scarcely any
,ship proceeds to sea without it;_ and when. it
is stated, that the Improved Patent Felt now offered dues tio'
greatly exceed the expense of tarred brown paper, it may be
confidently expected that it will supersede the use of every ma-
terial for a like purpose now employed for sheathing Ships'
bottoms.
The Patent Sheathing Felt now submitted is made of a much
stronger and more fibrous texture than the Felt hitherto in use,
and will bear much greater extension under water in the work.
ing and straining of a Ship; and, added to its valuable proper
tiesfor resisting the worm, its compressed closeness and tough-
ness of fabric, combined with its evenness and uniformity o
surface, entirely remove the objections inseparable from the
Felts hitherto in use, owing to the thickness, inequality, and
sponginess of their material, by which a quilting or puckering
is produced, very detrimental to the nailing and even-wearing
of the copper, to say' nothing of the risk of the nails drawing,
from the expansion of the old Felts when saturated with water.
The Felt now offered being entirely free from these serious ob-
jections, and the copper dressing on it so much better than on
any other, a greater degree of durability and safety. to the cop-
per.sheathing itself, may, by its use, be reasonably inferred. It
likewise possesses the advantage of being easily separated after
being packed or laid together for any length of time, which is
an important consideration in shipping it to hot climates.
The price is now reduced to about one-fourth of the cost of
the old band-made Felt, and to less than half the price of the
IFelts now in Use. It is manufactured in similar sized sheets to
those (32 inches wide by 20 inches long, and sold at FOUR
iPENCE PER SHEET. It is also cut into sheets of double
and treble the above length, but it can likewise be delivered in
,a continuous roll'Of any extent, at the above proportionate cost,
:and afterwards cut into-any lengths required, by which means
the number of joints in laying it on, can be diminished at 'dis-
cretion, offering an immense increase of'security wherever the
copper may
-be rubbed off.
A second description of a much thicker quality, adapted for
use under Wood Sheathing, is also manufactured in any lengths

:required. • • •
For. Baling and Wrapping, the present Felt is impervious to
wet, and much cheaper.than Tarpaulin. For Roofing, Out-
buildings, Sheds, &c. it excels either Sheathing
:or Roofing
'PaPer; being far more durable, and not liable to crack with the
,changes of temperature.

*** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and
Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weakness
&c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or
have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady.
Dr. DAVI ESON continues to direct his attention to those dis-
orders arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence
of the pa.s.iims,which not only. occasion a, numerous train of
nervous affections, but. also entails on its votaries all the ener-
vating imbeeilitieS of old age. In that distressing state of de-
bility an.d.,,deficienev, whether the consequence of, baneful ha
bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers
of the constitution become enfeehled,.he offers a.firm, safe, and
speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousand's fall victims to the ve-
nereal diseaSe,.owingto.the unskilfulness of illiterate men,.who,
by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution,
and when.the great. Doctor Swedour. became.Professorfat -Ley,
den UniversitY,.he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man
kind by•the discovery, of his grand. Panacea, for the cure of this
deplorable complaint.' Never did a discovery excite a greater
sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the
undeviating success in, the,most minute and intricate cases of
the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so
long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany,
• caused their speedy introduction into,aimost.every country. The
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long conti-
nental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard
of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained. What medicine can he more appropriate
• than that which has given such general satisfactinn ? The Hyge-
ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison• puri-
fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different
functions of the body expelling the grosser humours, and in a
manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most
sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. . The
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be
taken without the slightest snspieinn of discovery—they require
no restranet of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but
effect a complete cure, without the least expOsure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion "nay exist, it will be
well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken
before the disease has made its appearance it 'acts is a certain
preventive; by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
The deplorable state in' which many persons have been when
visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necessary to'catition the public against that dangerous
mineral when' injudiciously administered.
These Pills should forma portion of all Medicine Chests, by
sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going
a long voyage Or journey. their properties arc such that neither
heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent the due
effects on the constitution. •
