CHANDLER AND OLIVER (315) HAVE ENC WINDING ENGINES AND PLU are now tant by steam. The Engine can be used for Thrashing without taking the Ploughing Tackle off, not requiring more than three or four horses to take it from place to place. These Engines are very useful for Pile Driving or Drawing Ballast up inclined planes; at the same time they can be used for Pumping. Farmers will find them most useful for all purposes. Messrs. CHANDLER and OLIVER are prepared to receive orders for separate Windlasses, which are light and simple, and generally useful.

From TRUMAN, HANBURY, BUXTON, & Co., Brewery London. your "In reply to your inquiry, we have much pleasure in bearing our testimony to the advantages, both as regards economy and saving of time, effected by the use of Patent Gutta Percha Bands in lieu of Leather Straps. The stoppage of one portion of our works through the failing of this annoyance we are now never troubled. the leather strap used to be of daily occurrence-but with We have had these straps in operation for nearly three years, and are assured by our Engineer that they effect a saving to us of at least THIRTY POUNDS a year." "We have now had Gutta Percha Bands working here for three years. One of them has been driving the fan blast for our smith's shop for all that time, and for anything we see, may drive it as long again. The speed of the fan is but 1,200 per minute. We have used them with complete satisfaction, driving circular saws, and in some cases where leather bands would have been quite inappli cable from damp. We have uniformly endeavoured to have the drums and pulleys so proportioned to the strain, as that there is no chance of the band slipping; and with this precaution, and taking care in using cross bands that they do not rub, we are quite satisfied that they are superior in every respect to leather-stronger at the same weight, and keeping quite straight in working-requiring no lacings, and very seldom any repairs."

THOMAS GLOVER takes this opportunity of thanking Gas Companies and his other Customers for the very liberal support and patronage he has received during the past year, which has far exceeded his most sanguine anticipations, having sold a greater number of his PATENT DRY GAS-METERS since the dissolution of his partnership with Mr. Croll than he was ever previously enabled to do in any one year. THOMAS GLOVER confines his sole attention to the business of Gas-Meter Making. The propriety of his doing so is satisfactorily proved by his success; and, without the practice of any quackery, or any attempt to delude the public by an absurd exhibition of "Old and New Valves," his Meters are in general use by the Metropolitan Gas and other Companies in this Country and abroad. For example, one Metropolitan Company have now in use above 12,500 of his Patent Dry Gas-Meters; some of these Meters have been fixed for Fourteen Years, and are still in working order, without complaint from either the Company or the Consumer. THOMAS GLOVER thinks it necessary to put Gas Companies on their guard against parties selling Patent Dry GasMeters constructed in imitation of his, but unskilfully made on erroneous principles, and with improper and unsuitable materials. THOMAS GLOVER's Workshops are now the most extensive in this or any other country, and he is thereby enabled promptly to execute orders to any extent required. Purchasers may at any time inspect his Works and the Materials of which his Meters are constructed. He is ready to enter into Contracts with Gas Companies and others to uphold their Stock of his Meters for Twenty Years at an annual charge varying from 24 to 5 per cent., and to leave always in the hands of Gas Companies Three Years' charge for upholding, as a guarantee for the fulfilment of the Contrac..
