PHOTOGRAPHY.— XYLG- 

 lODIDE OF SILVER, prepared solely 

 by R. W. THOMAS, has now obtained an 

 European fame ; it supersedes the use of all 

 other preparations of Collodion. Witness the 

 subjoined Testimonial. 



" 122. Regent Street. 

 "DearSir, — In answer to your inquiry of 

 this morning, I have no hesitation in sayingr 

 that your preparation of Collodion is incom- 

 parably better and more sensitive than all the 

 advertised CoUodio-Iodldes, which, for my 

 professional purposes, are quite useless when 

 compared to yours. 



" I remain, dear Sir, 



" Yours fbithftiUy, 



" N. HSNKEKAN. 



Aug. 30. 1852. 

 To Mr. R. W.Thomas." 



MR. R. W. THOMAS begs most earnestly to 

 caution photographers against purchasing im- 

 pure chemicals, which are now too frequently 

 sold at very low prices. It is to this cause nearly 

 always that their labours are unattended with 

 success. 



Chemicals of absolute purity, especially pre- 

 pared for this art, may be obtained from R. W. 

 THOMAS, Chemist and Professor of Photo- 

 graphy, 10. Pall Mall. 



N.B — The name of Mr. T.'s preparation, 

 Xylo- Iodide of Silver, is made use of by un- 

 principled persons. To prevent imposition each 

 bottle is stamped with a red label bearing the 

 maker's signature. 



rrO PHOTOGRAPHERS. — 



1 MR. PHILIP DELAMOTTE begs to 

 announce that he has now made arrangements 

 for printing Calotypes in large or small quan- 

 tities, either from Paper or Glass Negatives. 

 Gentlemen who are desirous of having good im- 

 presfions of their works, may see specimens of 

 Mr. Delamotte's Printing at his own residence, 

 38. Chepstow Place. Bayswater, or at 



MR. GEORGE BELL'S, 186. Fleet Street.

LENSES.— These lenses give correct definition 

 at the centre and margin of the picture, and 

 have their visual and chemical acting foci 

 coincident. 



Great Exhibition Jurors' Reports, p. 274. 



" Mr. Ross prepares lenses for Portraiture 

 having the greatest intensity yet produced, by 

 procuring the coincidence of the chemical ac- 

 tinic and visual rays. The spherical aberra- 

 tion is also very carefully corrected, both in the 

 central and oblique pencils." 



" Mr. Ross has exhibited the best Camera in 

 the Exhibition. It is furnished with a double 

 achromatic object-lens, about three inches 

 aperture. There is no stop, the field is flat, and 

 the image very perfect up to the edge."

PROPOSALS FOB 



REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT , 



OF 



ST. MAEY'S OHUECH, 



VINCENT SQUARE, WESTMINSTER. 



Incumbent, 



REV. A. BORRADAILE. 



CAarcAwarrfcTw, 



MR. G. FEAR8E. 



MR. G. PINK. 



St. Mary's Church, Vincent Square, West- 

 minster, was erected in the year 1837, and con- 

 tains 1,200 sittings, of which 800 are free. 



The pecuniary resources which were at the 

 disposal of those by whose tiforts this spacious 

 Church was built were only adequate to pro- 

 vide what was absolutely requisite for the per- 

 formance of Divine Service. 



There was, however, much cause for thank- 

 fulness that so large and commodious a Church 

 was raise 1 in so poor a district as St. Mary's ; 

 and a hope was then entertained that the day 

 would soon come when what was necessarily 

 left incomplete might be accomplished. 



Fifteen years have passed away since the 

 Church was consecrated ; and the time appears 

 now to have arrived when an effort should be 

 made to supply what is wanting, and to render 

 the interior more convenient, to paint, cieanse, 

 and colour it ; and to impart to it that religious 

 decency and comeliness which befits the House 

 of God. 



An additional reason for this endeavour is 

 supplied by rece"t events. Churches have 

 arisen in the neighbourhood of St. Mary's, 

 erected by the munificence of pious founders, 

 which are adorned with architectural beauty, 

 and are among the best specimens of ecclesias- 

 tical fabrics that the present age has produced. 

 St. Mary's suffers from the contrast : its defi- 

 ciencies have become more manifest ; and the 

 need of sucli an effort as has been mentioned is 

 now felt more strongly. 



While, however, the exigencies of the case 

 have increased, the means of satisfying them 

 have become less. Some of the less indigent 

 portions of St. Mary's District have been de- 

 tached from it, and have been annexed to the 

 other districtsformed for more recent Churches. 

 Thus the resources of St. Mary's have been 

 diminished : and circnmstancsof a local cha- 

 racter render it undesirahle, in the opinion of 

 legal advisers, to press for the levyine of a 

 Rate for the improvement of the Church. 

 Perhaps, however, the strength of the present 

 appeal may eventually be found to lie in these 

 difficulties, when they are more generally 

 known. 



A CojcHiTTKB, therefore, has been formed, 

 consisting of the Churchwardens of the District, 

 and other inhnbitants, and of some personal 

 friends of the Incumbent, the REV. A. BOR- 

 RADAILE, whose zeal and energy in dis- 

 charging the duties of the pastoral office in 

 St. Mary's District for mo^e than ten years, 

 through many and great difficulties, have been 

 greatly blessed to his flock, and command the 

 respect and sympathy of t'ose who have wit- 

 nessed his persevering exertions, and have seen 

 the fruit of his labours. 



The Committee arc nnweneazed in an en- 

 deavour to raise funds for the reparation and 

 improvement of the interior of M. Mary's 

 Church ; and they trust that many may be 

 found to approve and encourage the design. 



An estimate has been mepared of the requi- 

 site expenditure by MR. H. A. HUNT, of 

 4. Parliament Street, which amounts to Fivb 

 Hundred and Fifty Pounds. This sum, it is 

 anticipated, will suffice to provide for lowering 

 and reflxing the whole of the Free Seats, and 

 to make them more commodious for the nse 

 of the poor ; to improve the sea's generally 

 throughout the Church ; to alter and improve 

 the position and character of the Pulpit and 

 Reading Desk ; to naint, gr.iin, and varnish 

 the whole of the seats ; and to give an appro- 

 priate appearati ce to the Chancel of the Church.
