A MERICAN DAGITERREIAN
GALLERIES, 30, BOLD-STREET,
LIVERPOOL (entrance in Concert-street,
side of the New Music-haII.)—EDNIONDS'
DAGUERREOTYPE PORTRAITS, from
Four Shillings. EDMONDS' ENAMELLED DAGUERREO-
TYPE MINIATURES, Twelve Shillings and Sixpence.
EDMONDS' newly-discovered INDELIBLE GOLDEN
MINIATURES, Twenty Shillings, surpassing every other
production in the above art. Only to be obtained at the
American Galleries. _ _

All Persons who visited the Crystal Palace during the Great
Exhibition must recollect the great superiority of the Ame-
rican Daguerreotypes, and to those who did not, it will be
sufficient to state that the Premium was awarded for American
Specimens.
Mr. EDMONDS, in soliciting the inspection of the Public,
begs to draw attention to the fact, that his resources, and
nine years' experience, must ensure to his patrons First-class
Portraits, at the lowest Prices, finished in half the time that
they can be obtained in any house in town,
Any person visiting the Gallery will be immediately con•
winced that all Portraits shown WERE TAKEN ON THE PRE-
MISES, which is not generally the case through town ; many
having been purchased and others imported, for the express
purpose of being exhibited at the doors.
Mr. E. can vouch for the above, and deems it wise to caution
the Public against such impositions.
SUGGESTIONS FOR DRESS.—Ladies are informed that Dark
Colours are most suitable. Colours to be avoided are White,
Pink, and Light Blue.
. _

P.S.—Examine the clearness of the Eyes, the bold, soft, and
brilliant finish of all Portraits sent out from the
AMERICAN GALLERIES,
50, BOLD-STREET (Entrance in CONCERT-STREET.)

ARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
C PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French,
Russian, and Sicilian Governments, the lion. East India Com-
pany, the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies,
and other Public Bodies.

The ANTI-CORROSION PAINT has been used by the
Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who
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, Iron Rail-
ing, Iron Hurdles, Copper, Zinc, Lead, old Compo, &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 Iron 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 rind it to stand all climates better than
any other Paint. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to
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 painters.
The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length
of time. Colours : White stone, light stone, drab, or Portland
stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark
oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate,
bright and dark red, copper, and black, 348. per cwt. ; invisi-
ble green, 50s. ; bright green, 60s. ; deep green, 605.; and blue

OIL and TURPENTINE, at per Gallon.
One cwt. Casks, is. Gd.; half and quarter cwt. ditto, Is.
each. Same allowed for returned empty oil packages, as
charged, viz., Is. per gallon.
The Expense of the Colours, at 345. per cwt., when the
weight of the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb. ; and those at
605., about Gd. per lb.
The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of
WALTER CARSON and SON,
(Successors to the Inventors,) No. 9, GREAT WINCHESTER-
STREET,OId Broad-street, near the Royal Exchange, LoNnoN,
who will show'between 500 and GOO most flattering Testimonials
