B 



URBIDGE and HEALY'S COOKING APPA- 

 RATUS, combining: Sylvester's Patents.— This Cooking 

 Apparatus is believed to possess greater general advantages than 

 any yet submitted to the Public, both as regards strength of 

 material and workmanship ; in fact, the laws of heat are so 

 applied as to produce the greatest effect with the least consump- 

 tion of fuel, without destruction to the Apparatus ; and B. and H. 

 can safely recommend it from experience, as unquestionably 

 superior to anything of the kind hitherto made, A Prospectus 

 can be forwarded, upon application, detailing particulars and 

 prices, to 130, Fleet- street. 



METCALFE'S NEW PATTERN TOOTH-BRUSH 

 and SMYRNA SPONGES.— The Tooth Brush has the im- 

 portant advantage of searching thoroughly into the divisions of 

 the teeth, and cleaning them in the most effectual and extraor- 

 dinary manner, and is famous for the hairs not coming loose- 

 It. An improved Clothes Brush, that cleans in a third part of 

 the usual time, and incapable of injuring the finest nap. Pene- 

 trating Hair-brushes, with the durable unbleached Russian 

 bristles, which do not soften like common hair. Flesh Brushes, 

 of improved graduated and powerful friction. Velvet Brushes, 

 which act in the most surprising and successful manner. The 

 Genuine Smyrna Sponge, with its preserved valuable properties 

 of absorption, vitality, and durability, by means of direct impor- 

 tations, dispensing with all intermediate parties* profits and de- 

 structive bleaching, and securing the luxury of a genuine Smyrna 

 Sponge. Only at Mktcalfk's Sole Establishment, 130b, Oxford- 

 street, one door from Holies-street. 



Caution— Beware of the words M From Metcalfe's/* adopted by 

 some houses.

JOUENAL OF ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENTS, MECHANICAL INVENTIONS, 



PUBLIC WORKS, &c. 



Theuk has been created within the last tec years a Productive Property iv Railways amounting to more than Stxty 

 Millions sterling, with a Kkvk.vue of nearly Six Millions per Ann cm. This addition to the wealth and resources of England 

 has been produced by the Investment of the funds of nearly«Fifty Thousand Individuals, who form the Railway Constituency of 

 Great Britain. It affords employment to a great body of our Workmen, tends to the development of our industrial Capabilties, and 

 is a boon to the whole travelling Population. 



It is strongly felt that Railway property, involving interests bo extensive, should not be exposed to the injurious effects which the 

 want of sound information and the circulation of erroneous statements for party purposes so constantly produce j and it has 

 appeared, to those most capable of judging, that the mutual interests of the Proprietary, the Managers, and the Railway Executive, 

 and the Public interests with which they are identified, have as yet found no organ in which they can be fairly discussed and satis- 

 factorily adjusted. The HatltDap <fff)T0nfclc has been projected to supply this deficiency, by the establishment of an authentic 



AND IMPARTIAL MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE GREAT RAILWAY COMMUNITY; having 



especially in view the free communication of useful information, the promotion of the common interests and the general circulation 

 of sound intelligence in all that relates to Railway property. 



The Conductors of the £ailtoap (Chronicle are men of practical experience, who possess peculiar facilities for obtaining the earliest 

 information, and who will use their anxious endeavours to advance, in every way, the great interests of Railway property, avoiding 

 ail indulgence of personal feeling, the expression of party prejudice, or the advancement of exclusive interests :— they desire, in 

 6hort, to furnish an unbiassed Chronicle of facts, and a fair arena for the discussion of important opinions and principles. 



The Kailtoaj? (Sfjronfcle will contain the earliest and most authentic information on the following subjects:— 



THE CONDITION AND PROSPECTS OF RAILWAYS NOW 

 IN USE. 



POSITION, PROGRESS, AND VALUE OF FOREIGN RAIL- 

 WAYS. 



PROGRESS OF RAILWAYS IN EXECUTION. 



PROJECTED NEW RAILWAYS. 



THE TRAFFIC AND REVENUE OF RAILWAYS. 



THE ECONOMY OF WORKING AND EXPENDITURE. 



THE VALUE OF SHARES. 



PAYMENT OF CALLS, DIVIDENDS, AND DEBENTURES. 



THE PROCEEDINGS AT RAILWAY MEETINGS, WITH THE 



DOCUMENTS LAID BEFORE SUCH MEETINGS. 

 WEEKLY REPORTS ON THE MONEY AND SHARE 



MARKETS. 



THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE AND 

 OTHER PUBLIC OR MUNICIPAL BODIES, SO FAR 

 AS THEY AFFECT THE INTERESTS OF RAILWAY 

 PROPERTY.

To eludicate which, Illustrative Maps and Engravings will be given, when necessary. 



Arrangements have been made for the purpose of supplying in the Sailtoap (Chronicle the earliest information concerning the 

 French Railways (the figures being in English money), in which so much British capital is now invested, and the other Railways 

 on the Continent which are in progress or in prospect. Intelligence will leave Paris every week in time for insertion in the 

 Xatltoap Chronicle, which will thus contain the transactions in the Paris Railway Stocks, and receipts of the various lines up to 

 the latest hour, and furnish the earliest notice of whatever may affect the British holder. 



Weekly Reports from the London, Liverpool, Manchester, and Northern Share Markets will afford the Capitalist the means of 

 judging of the condition of Railway investments. 



Another peculiar feature of the Kalimap tfffironicle is to consist in a series of papers on each of the Great British Railways— in 

 which the Past History, Present Condition, and Future Prospects of every Railway will be concisely developed. It is hardly to be 

 presumed, that the great number of persons who have of late years begun to interest themselves in Railway Property, can have

♦h *° r*. API £h LXSTS ' Bankbrs » Solicitors, Stoce-brokers, Insurance Companies, and all who hold Money for investment 

 tne fvatimai! Oromcle will furnish such sound unprejudiced information as shall enable them at once to make a judicious choice for 

 the investment of funds at their disposal. J "^ 



To Engineers, the fiatltoap (Chronicle will afford information on all points of Practical Engineering that may tend to the 

 advancement of the profession, and to the perfection of that Railway communication which their talents have placed in its oresent 

 admirable condition, and which it remains for their skill to render more available to the Public, and therefore more beneficial tb the 

 snarenoioer. l hrough this channel of intercommunicatio n every intelligent person will have an opportunity of contributing to the 

 common stock of knowledge, and consequently to the general welfare. s 



Thus the columns of the Katltoap (Chronicle will open a market for the labour of the Contractor, the inventions of the Mechanist 

 and the commodities of the Manufacturing Engineer. ««««■»,
