MOSLEY’S METALLIC PENS.—The decided superiority of these Pens over all others has long been acknowledged by the Public, and MOSLEY and Co., by anxiously embracing every opportunity of improving their manufacture, have at length brought them to such a state of perfection, as utterly to defy competition. M. & Co. in returning thanks for the very liberal support they have received, would beg at the same time to observe, that us few persons can write with the same description of Pen, they have manufactured a great variety of kinds, being thus enabled to suit the hand-writing of all.
MOSLEY’S PENS are sold by all stationers, and other respectable pen dealers throughout the Kingdom, and Wholesale at No. 8, Hatton Garden, London.
To guard against the many spurious imitations palmed upon the Public, every genuine Pen is stamped “RICHARD MOSLEY & Co. London,” and it is requisite that particular attention be paid to this circumstance, as the name of MOSLEY has been marked upon articles of a worthless description, the name being wrongly spelled, or the Christian name left out—“RICHARD MOSLEY & Co. London,” is the only genuine stamp.
BENTLEY’S Patent PORCELAIN LETTERS, for shop-fronts, hotels, merchants, shippers, &c., are 23 per cent. cheaper than the projecting; they are the most beautiful and imposing to the sight possible, and by far the most durable of any yet introduced; it is a fact worthy of remark, that every new letter that has been brought out within the last ten years has been Bentley’s invention: also Bentley’s newly-invented Zinc and Brass Shop Window Plates, both flat and circular, with raised letters, without a particle of wax, which never get out of order. The Queen’s, Prince Albert’s, and the Prince of Wales’ coats of arms in wood and metal. Observe.—The only Manufactory is Bentley’s, 234, High Holborn.
LETTERS FOR SHOP FRONTS.—Use Mason’s Imperishable ones, made in patent Iron-stone China, which have stood the severe test of 20 winters’ exposure in front of their manufactory at Fenton, in the Potteries.

PATENT TRANSPARENT VENTILATORS.—The increasing patronage afforded to this invention, which has been extensively introduced into the palaces, public offices, most of the principal banking and club houses, and many private houses, warehouses, offices, &c., has induced the proprietors (FAIRS and CO.) to an effort for their more general adoption, in furtherance of which they have prepared a graduated and greatly reduced tariff of prices, which will be forwarded, post-paid, on application to Fairs and Co., 22, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square; the Factory, 15, Gillingham-street, Pimlico; or Messrs. Bunnett and Corpe, 26, Lombard-street, where orders are also received.

THE PATENT FIRE PUMP AND ANTI-FRICTION PUMP.—They are both simple and cheap, and not so likely to get out of repair as the common Pump. The Fire Pump combines, without any alteration, the common domestic Pump, the Lifting Pump, and the Force Pump. The Fire Pump is adopted by her Majesty’s Board of Works, and one is fixed in the House of Commons. Patent Water-closets, Portable ditto, Self-acting ditto, &c. &c.
Freeman Roe, Plumber, Engineer, &c., 70, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre.
SMITH’S PATENT IMPROVED WATER-CLOSET combines all the requisites considered indispensable to form a perfect machine of this nature. In its action it is rapid, certain, and complete; simplicity of construction (the want of which in every other kind has been the fruitful and constant source of so much perplexity) is the distinguishing characteristic of Smith’s Patent Improved Water-Closet.
The value of these Closets has been confirmed, after the severest tests in which they could be subjected, by persons holding important situations in various public institutions, and must be considered conclusive in a matter so nearly affecting the comfort and convenience of the establishments under their care. Such is the confidence of the Patentee in the completeness of this invention, that he distinctly holds himself responsible for the perfect action of every Closet fixed under his own superintendence, and undertakes to remove, free of expense, any that may be found not to fulfil the conditions of his prospectus.

DOUBLE PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INKSTAND.
JAMES PERRY and Co., Manufacturers to Her Majesty and H. R. H. Prince Albert,
Having effected considerable improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which they have united with their First Patent, under the title of “DOUBLE PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INKSTAND.” The eulogy bestowed on thePatent Filter Inkstandby the public journals, and the preference obtained for them over the common Inkstands, were almost unprecedented. The present novel and scientific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it; in this state it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or climate. When the Inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for four or six months.

TESTIMONIALS.
It possesses the advantage, from being air-tight, of preserving Ink for almost any period of time.—Times.
One of the most useful inventions of the present day that has come under our observation.—Morning Herald.
It is really most ingenious, and not in the slightest degree liable to get out of order.—John Bull.
Very ingeniously constructed to keep the surface of the Ink at a uniform level, where it is presented to the dip of the Pen.—Morning Post.
We have tested the PERRYIAN INKSTAND, and have every reason to be perfectly satisfied with the trial.—Atlas.
PATENT PERRYIAN GRAVITATING INKSTAND.
As Cheap as the Common Inkstand.
This neat and novel invention is exceedingly well adopted for general use; it preserves the Ink in great perfection for months together, without the trouble of refilling; it excludes dust, &c., and at any moment the writer is supplied with Ink in the most perfect state.
The Patentees strongly recommend it to the notice of Bankers, Merchants, Solicitors, Government Offices, Public Companies, Shops, Schools, &c., as a great improvement over the ordinary Inkstand, both as regards convenience, and considerable saving of Ink. This Inkstand will be found invaluable in keeping the Ink always clear and fit for use in every climate. It is of a cylindrical form, with a gravitating action, adjusted so as to supply the Dipping Cup with Ink, which can be returned into the Cylinder when not in use. Economy, cleanliness, and usefulness are secured by it, and it cannot get out of order.
