WATER POISONED BY LEADEN PIPES.

"The above engraving represents accurately a section of a leaden pipe, which was employed for a short time in conveying water from a well on the grounds of Mr. Dick, of Bonchurch, Isle of Wight. The original section of pipe is 8 in. long, 2 in. diameter, and 5-16 in. thick. A great part of the internal surface is corroded by the action of the water; but, as shown in the drawing, four deep excavations have been made, and another is shaded out of view by the manner in which the section of the pipe has been cut. The water has cut these deep pits almost through the pipe, and not only upon the portion which we have illustrated, but has formed similar chasms throughout the entire length.”— Expositor.

DURABILITY OF GUTTA PERCHA TUBING.

Many inquiries having been made as to the durability of Gutta Percha Tubing, the Gutta Percha Company have pleasure in giving publicity to the following Letters from parties who have had it in use for a considerable length of time :

From SIR RAYMOND JARVIS, Ventnor Isle of Wight.

(Second Testimonial.)

"March 10th, 1852.

"In reply to your letter received this morning, respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for pump service, I can state, with much satisfaction, it answers perfectly. Many builders and other persons have lately examined it, and there is not the least apparent difference since the first laying down, now several years and I am informed that it is to be adopted generally in the houses that are being erected here."

From C. HACKER, Esq., Surveyor to His Grace the Duke of Bedford, Woburn Park.

(Second Testimonial.)

"Office of Works, Woburn Park, Jan 10th, 1852. "Gentlemen,-In answer to your inquiries respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for Pump Suctions, I find that the water has not affected it in the least, although it will eat lead through in two years we have adopted it largely, being cheaper than lead, much easier fixed, and a more perfect job."

Every variety of Gutta Percha Articles, such as Soles, Sheet, Tubing, Mill Bands, Pump Buckets, Fire Buckets, Bosses, Flasks, Bottles, Bowls, Curtain Rings, Talbottype Trays, Galvanic Batteries, Union Joints, &c. &c., manufactured by the Gutta Percha Company, and sold by their wholesale dealers in town and country.

R. FEAST begs respectfully to inform the Public, that the partnership which has existed for the last 18 years having been dissolved, he continues in the same premises as heretofore to carry on the old-established Business in all its branches; and while returning his sincere thanks for the great patronage shown him so many years, takes this opportunity of soliciting a continuance of those favours, assuring his friends that nothing shall be wanting on bis part to merit them.

R. FEAST respectfully informs the Public of the United Kingdom, the Continent, and the Colonies, where the articles of the late Firm's manufacture and his own have been so long favourably received and approved, that he continues to manufacture and forward goods of every description of first-rate quality known as OILMEN'S STORES, properly prepared for every quarter of the world as well as for home use, consisting of the most admired Pickles, Sauces, Fruits, Oil, &c., and requests the attention of his friends to the following articles, which he can safely recommend for quality and price.

Genuine Essence of Anchovies.-Dr. Kitchener's Universal Sauce, and every other approved Sauce.-Pure Mushroom Catsup from Leicestershire.-Feast's Worcestershire Sauce, greatly preferred to any other of the same name.-Preserved Fruits of the finest qualities, in bottles. -Jams and Jellies of the best qualities and flavour.-Potted Ham, Tongue, Beef, Game, Bloaters, Pate de Foie Gras, Sardines, Strasburg Meats, in Tin Canisters, Glass Jars, and Pictorial Pots.-Brunswick and all other Sausages.-Anchovy Paste, of superior quality, in handsome Pots and Jars.-Potted Parmasan (an entire novelty).-R. FEAST was one of the Inventors and Original Proprietors of the CELEBRATED CALF'S-FOOT JELLY, comprising the different flavours of Lemon, Noyeau, Orange, Punch, and Vanilla. This original and highly-useful production is put up in hermetically sealed bottles. This is one of the Articles which his late partner and R. Feast had the high honour of submitting to Her Majesty on one of her visits to the Royal Exhibition.-Syrups from Pine-apples, Raspberries, Currants, and other kinds of Fruits for making cooling Drinks.-Dried Herbs in Bottles for seasoning.-Superior Durham and London Mustard in Bottles and Jars.-English Vinegar, of extra strength and superior quality, in fancy Quart and Pint Glass Bottles, beautifully emblazoned, and warranted, &c. &c.

CAUTION.-Purchasers and Friends of R. Feast are respectfully but earnestly requested to observe that all goods and preparations sent out by him have on the labels fac-similes of the Prize Medal granted by the Commissioners of the Royal Exhibition of 1851 to the late firm, for the superiority of their Pickles, &c.; and this being awarded in the names of Batty and Feast only, a Prize Medal and the Certificate being in the possession of R. Feast, it is unnecessary to remark, that no other house can claim the like distinctive honour.

Copy of Certificate.

I hereby certify that Her Majesty's Commissioners, upon the Award of the Jurors, have presented a Prize Medal to BATTY and FEAST, for Pickles shown in the Exhibition. (Signed) ALBERT, Exhibition, Hyde Park, London, 15th Oct., 1851. President of the Royal Commission.

R. Feast has likewise secured goods sent from his house by an additional label printed in red, and bearing the number and class of the goods exhibited, and finally by the use of Bett's Patent Capsule, having on the face the medallion portraits of Her Most Gracious Majesty and Prince Albert, which is placed on every Bottle and Jar: without these distinguishing marks, R. Feast cannot guarantee or be answerable for the contents or quality. R. F. is sorry to trouble his friends with so lengthened a description of his trade marks; but it becomes absolutely necessary from the attempts of parties to endeavour to mislead, by imitations of his labels.

FOR WINDOWS, PARTITIONS, FACTORIES, WORKSHOPS, WAREHOUSES, GREENHOUSES, COTTAGES, STABLING, GRANARIES,

AND OTHER BUILDINGS, RAILWAY & PRIVATE CARRIAGES, &c.

IN CHURCHES and PUBLIC BUILDINGS, also in SITTING and BED ROOMS, NURSERIES, and enclosed places generally, where people assemble, the impure air of the breath, the burnt air of the lights, the odour of dishes, &c.-because heated, and therefore specifically light-all ascend first towards the ceiling; but as, in ordinary rooms, no opening exists there for escape, they soon contaminate the whole of the air in the room to the level of the chimney mouth, from which only can any portion ultimately pass away. From this arises great, though often unsuspected, injury to the health, and finally to the constitutions of the inmates.

MOORE'S PATENT "LEVER VENTILATOR," forming a regular current of air, is calculated to effect all that is required for improving animal and vegetable health. The vitiated air is emitted at the opening left for that purpose.

For FARMS, DAIRIES, OUTBUILDINGS, &c., the Ventilator can be made to form a complete window. Iron Frames and Rough Plate Glass, &c.

VENTILATORS made to any size, and to most forms of Sashes; also for Sky or Fan Lights, and other purposes. A considerable saving and additional safety by having fixed Window Sashes.

To Shopkeepers they are particularly recommended, as from their capabilities of removing the foul air caused by the gas in the shop and windows, they effectually preserve the stock in good condition, and prevent explosion of gas.

THEY CAN BE FITTED INTO METAL SASHES IF REQUIRED.

Stained and other Ornamental Glass Louvres to correspond with design of window.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT,

Specially patronised by the British, French, Russian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East-India Company, 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 balf 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 description 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 Out-buildings, Conservatories, Park Paling, Gates, Iron Railing, 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 Colonial Proprietors, Emigrants, and all persons connected with the Colonies, who will find 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 Out-buildings, &c., properly preserved, will effect a very considerable 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, 34s. per cwt.; invisible green, 50s., bright green, 60s., deep green, 60s., and blue (for carts and wagons), 60s. per cwt.; in casks 28 lbs., 56 lbs., 112 lbs. each, and upwards. Large tied Brushes, 3s. 6d. ; small tied ditto, 2s. 6d. ; and Sash Tools, 1s. 6d. each.

OIL AND TURPENTINE AT

PER GALLON.

One cwt. casks, 1s. 6d.; half and quarter cwt. ditto, ls. each. Same allowed for returned empty Oil packages, as charged, viz. 1s. per gallon.

The Expense of the Colours at 34s. per cwt., when the weight of the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb.; and those at 60s., about 6d. per lb.

The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of
