for giving a brilliant Polish to Silver [Nate and Plated
Articles, German Silver, Britannia Metal, &c. The Genuine
Electro Cream (which is a true preparetion of silver, free
from quicksilver and every injurious ingredient) produces a
splendid silvery. lustre without any trouble beyond that of
laying on and wiping off, according to the directions on-the
bottles. It has been examined by eminent chemists, severely
tried by leading silversmiths, and pronounced to be worthy
in every respect of the high character given to it in the testi-
monials so kindly furnished to the proprietor.
CAuTioac.—The true Cream has been made for many years
only by the inventor, S. DAvies, Chemist, -Chester, whose
signature and address purchasers willlease to notice to pre-
vent disappointment. About the end of 1653, Mr.. Stewart,

" original Cream," and cautions the public against imita-
tions ! offered for sale an article under t

fIARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
N.../ PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French,
Russian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India
pony, the the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies,
and.other Public Bodies.
The ANTI-CORROSION PAlNrds of half a ce T has been used by the
wh
Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwantury,
have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer
and better than the very best White Lead, or any other de-
scription of Paint; and in consequence of its possessing this
invaluable quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both
for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the
above period. It has also been used in great quantities by
other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the
first distinction, to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other
Outbuildings, Conservatories Park Paling, Gates
Co. Iron all,
ing, Iron Hurdles, Copper. 'Zinc, Lead, old mpo, &c
Fronts and Tiles to represent Slating. It will be found a very
superior preservative of Iron Steamboats, Iron Bridges,
Piers, or any other extensive loan Works.
This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay
of old stone or brick Mansions, Churches. or other Public
Edifices requiring an effectual defence against the elements.
It is particularly recommended to West India and other Co-
lonial Proprietors, Emigrants, and all persons connected with
the Colonies, who will find it to of the stand all climatAnti-es better than
to
any other Paint. The superiority Corrosion
any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact
that its use has been always most strenuously
opposed by
Colour Manufacturers and others interested in the sale of
Common Paint.
Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their
Outbuildings, &c., properly preserved, will effect a very con-
siderable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti-
Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving
the enormous charges generally made by ptiinters.
The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length
of time. Colours : White stone, light stone, drab,
or Portland

MERCHANT SHIPPING.-THE APPREN-

TICE SHIP SYSTEM.

IN commenting last week on the Merchant
Shipping Bill, now before Parliament, we omitted
any allusion to a subject of peculiar interest to the
future welfare of our merchant navy. It may have
been thought a hardship to render the taking of
apprentices to the merchant service compulsory,
but when the absence of compulsion results in
almost putting a stop to apprenticeship, the neces-
sity for its revival becomes apparent. Many ship-
owners have found that, after having undergone
the expense and trouble of training boys, they had
deserted at the very time when they have become
of any value, and in self-defence have refused to
take them at all ; so that the merchant service has
become comparatively valueless as a nursery for
seamen. If, however, the compulsory system were
restored, and every ship were bound to take a por-
tion of apprenticed boys, the temptation to desert
would 'be considerably lessened, and we might
reckon on a supply for the future, which the exten-
sion of commerce will render indispensable. Sailors
are not like soldiers, the result of a few months'
training, but to be really efficient must be brought
up from youth—must, indeed, serve an apprentice-
ship, which can only be efficacious when earned out
generally, for the voluntary system has been mani-
festly a failure. In legislating, therefore, for the
shipping interest under the comprehensive measure
known as the Merchant Shipping Bill, the question
of apprentices ought to form a part ; and 'we have
no doubt that if direct reference were made to ship-
owners, who are the parties more directly concerned,
the majority of them would concur in the advisa-
bility of restoring in some form the compulsory
system. It must be remembered that the interests
involved- in this queStion are not solely those of the
merchant service. The time may not be -very far
distant when a further demand may be made for
manning the navy, in order to meet the exigencies
of war carried on upon a large scale on the-northern
and southern extremities of the Russian empire.
We have no right to count upon so short -a list of
killed and wounded as that which followed the
bombardment of Odessa, in future attacks upon the
strongholds of the CZAR ; and should any reverse
occur, so that the renewal or augmentation of a
fleet should become indispensable, it would then be
necessary to rely upon the merchant navy for sea-
men; and this would be of little avail, unless
pro Vision be made, by instantly recruiting the
merchant service with apprentices, which can only
be done by resorting to the compulsory system.
It is a subject of too much importance to be passed
over. If England is to maintain her supremacy on
the ocean, it can only be by paying strict attention
to the material of her naval service, by proviffing
beforehand for our future defenders, in a succession
of youth trained by early habits to the services
required of them ; and if this be done as it ought
to be done, the rapid extension of'British commerce
will be rendering the merchant service by far the
best nursery for the royal nay.
