THIS Company is formed for the purpose of making and
1. improving harbours by means of coating breakwaters.
affording complete protection to shipping, and for other im-
portant works, beneficial to the maritime and commercial in-
terests on the coasts of the Uni.ed Kingdom, where the great
want of shelter and security is daily productive of the moat
disastrous consequences, involving an annual loss of upwards
of 1,200 lives, and the destruction of property to an extent
of £3,000,000 sterling.
The deep interest which has been expressed in Parliament,
and the reports of the Government Commissioners, and the
Parliamentary Committee, prove incontestibly the absolute
necessity which exists for the immediate reparation of all our
present harbours, and for the formation of at least 250 new
ones. The Commissioners in their report state that three
alone will (if formed upon the old principle of the Stone
Breakwater) cost the nation no less a sum than £6,000,000
sterling, and the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a very
recent debate in the House of Commons, at the same time
that he admitted the urgent necessity for the required ex-
penditure, found himself compelled to declare that the state
of the public revenue and present finances of the country
could not provide for so immense an outlay. By means of
Captain Tayler's meritorious invention the expense offers no
longer any obstacle, inasmuch as by the adoption of a float-
ing breakwater, and a new mode of mooring, 180 harbours of
refuge can be formed at a cost of less than the amount esti-
mated by the Government Commissioners as the sum re-
quired by the old modes for the construction of three.
The principle upon which this invention acts so effectively
is simple, and carries conviction with it to minds the least
scientific ; it is that of yielding and giving way to the force
and violence of the sea. instead of opposing to it a fixed and
and solid resistance, by means of sections of timber, which,
at the same time they yield to the shocks of the sea, admit
the waves to pass under, over, and through them ; and thus,
by giving vent to the fury of the waves, so dividing and
breaking them as to reduce them to an open and harmless
state, thereby converting all within the inner circumference
of the breakwater sections to smooth water.
In addition to the high sanction and support of the above-
named distinguished patrons to this invention, it has also re-
ceived the toll approval and recommendation of numerous
harbour-masters, and other nautical and scientific men, the
best able to decide on its merits. The efficacy of this break-
water has been practically tested, and found to possess im-
mense advantages over all other breakwaters hitherto known.
These advantages are too numerous to be particularised
within the limits of an advertisement, but are detailed in the
Prospectus, which may be had at the Company's office.
Suffice it to say, that by the adoption of the floating break-
water for the purposes recommended by the Goveninient
Commissioners, incalculable benefit will accrue to the na-
tion, and several millions sterling advantageously saved to
the public, thereby ensuring to the shareholders a most pro-
fitable return upon their invested capital, far exceeding the
most sanguine expectation.
That the government of this country will avail itself of the
ready means which the facilities of this invention afford to
effect the required national works of such paramount impor-
tance, and which it has hitherto been deterred from attempt-
ing solely because of their apprehended cost, there can be
no doubt. The increasing necessity of commerce must alto
secure its adoption by the corporations of all maritime places,
and we may further rely that there is scarcely a single port
in the United Kingdom* which will not avail itself of the
benefits and advantages now presented. Its adoption at all
fishing ports will greatly tend to increase our fisheries, by
affording, at a very moderate outlay, refuge and security in
all

slid
ddaily exposure and
every protection to our
meritorious
exertions have such pressing claims on friend to hu-
manity. The profits arising from the
w eath weather
r
various important
benefits which this Company alone can accomplish,. atn colt
within the reach of all, cannot fail to ensure a large and im-
mediate dividend to the shareholders. It is calculated that
the town of Brighton would, by the use of 40 sections of the
Floating Breakwater, realise an income of many thousands
per annum. The authorities of Dieppe
arc alsoequally alive
to the • immense advantages this new invention presents.
Dieppe Harbour will then
become the first and most produc-
tive haven in France, and being in a direct line from London
to Paris will materially benefit the town of Brighton.
The Directors have great satisfaction in stating, that they
are in active negotiation with several places of the highest
maritime importance, and that the Admiralty, zealous for
the promotion and success of the undertaking, have granted
the use of anchors and
.ground moorings to enable Captain
Tayler's plan to be put in immediate operation at Brighton.

Parliament. will be forthwith obtained to limit their respon-
