S MPROVED PORTABLE GARDEN ENGINE, MANUFAC- 
tured by Win. G. Creamer & Co. The best machine in use 
for watering gardens—washing windows, trees, fences, car- 
ages—putting out fires, or keeping a building wet in case of 
fire adjoining. It is not liable to the objections that are made 
riagainst all garden engines, (getting out of order,) as the 
valves are ground brass; the chambers, piston-rod, cap, &c„ 
brass and copper. These machines can also be used for spread¬ 
ing liquid manures on trees, shrubbery, &c. To each machine 
is attached a sprinkler, jet, and hose. It is, every way, a first- 
class article, and we recommend it as such. They can be sent 
by express to any part of the Union at trifling expense.

T&TE PLUS ULTRA.-THE STEADY PERSEVERANCE 
ixl and practice of a great many years have enabled J. 
LASCALA to discover what all the endeavors of men have hi¬ 
therto found to be useless. J. Lascala's Vegetable Hair Re¬ 
generator is the very specific to cure the diseases of the inte¬ 
gument of the head, which cause the deterioration or the 
loss of the ornament of the head, so that it prevents baldness, 
causes the hair to grow, makes the dandruff disappear, and 
renders to the hair a beautiful gloss. This article will be 
found at Lascala’s Perfumery Store, 584 Broadway, Metropoli¬ 
tan Hotel, where there is the best assortment of French Per¬ 
fumery, Shirts, Cravats, Handkerchiefs, Canes, and Umbrellas, 
and every kind of fashionable toilet articles. 1-13

ONE-DUST MANURE AND SUPERPHOSPHATE OF 
SB Lime.—The Eagle Chemical Co., having recently made 
extensive additions to their works on Staten Island, are now 
prepared to meet the increased demand for the above-named 
invaluable manures, and are ready to supply tile agricul¬ 
turists with any quantity that may be required. 
The bone-dust manure will be of the same quality, and will 
be delivered at the same price as that heretofore furnished 
to the farmers of Staten Island, Neiv-Jersey, and other parts 
of the United States. It will be ground into a fine powder, 
and warranted pure; and being perfectly dry and well packed 
in clean barrels, can be transported at a small cost either by 
steamboat or railroad. 
The advantages of ground bones for manure are too well 
known by the experience of the past twenty years to make 
any further recommendation necessary. 
The Superphosphate of Lime or Sulphated Bones may not 
perhaps be so well known in some parts of the United States 
as the former, as it is a comparatively recent mode of apply¬ 
ing the same ingredients; but from the great results already 
obtained by the agriculturists in England and the United 
States, it is likely to he preferred to all other manures in use. 
The proprietors of the Eagle Chemical Works have, for seve¬ 
ral years past, been extensively engaged in the manufacture 
of this article in England, where they have had the assist¬ 
ance of the most eminent agricultural chemists in Europe. 
The Superphosphate now prepared by them has been tested 
on every variety of soil and crop in Europe, the United States, 
and the West Indies, with the most invariable success. The 
manufacturers do not hesitate to guarantee it to be the most 
perfect manure that can be made. No ingredients will he 
used until they have been carefully examined, and their 
purity tested; and the mode of preparing such ingredients, 
and the proportions used, will be such as the manufacturers 
have ascertained, by long and patient applies tion of chemical 
science, to be the most perfect, and which they have proved 
to be so. by the practical tests of agriculturists on almost 
every description of soil, and in every variety of climate. 
It will always be kept at the highest standard of purity and 
excellence, and every lot made will be carefully analyzed and 
tested before delivery. It is warranted to proven more valu¬ 
able manure than the best Peruvian Guano, being both more 
inmediate in its effects upon the plant, and of more perma¬ 
nent benefit to the soil, besides being less dangerous in its ap¬ 
plication. 
It will be composed entirely of Superphosphate of Lime, 
combined with such proportions of Ammonia and other ingre¬ 
dients as are necessary to restore that which has been taken 
from the soil by previous crops. 
Raw bones, in addition to fat or gelatine, are composed 
of phosphoric acid and lime combined, called Phosphate of 
Lime. It is the Phosphoric Acid that is of great value as 
manure to the agriculturists; and the object of applying sul¬ 
phuric acid to dissolve them is, that by its alliance with the 
lime which is in the bones, the phosphoric acid is rendered 
more soluble or easily dissolved by rain; and the difference 
between raw ground hones and dissolved bones may, in a 
plain way, be stated to consist in the fact, that by a careful 
addition of the proper proportions of sulphuric acid, the Phos¬ 
phate of Lime in the raw bones is converted partly into Sul- 
Dliate of Lime, which is a valuable manure; and a considera¬ 
ble portion of soluble phosphoric acid is left free to combine 
at once with the soil, in readiness to act on the plant. 
Thus it is that a small quantity of Superphosphate of Lime 
will force a crop of turnips in greater weight than a larger 
quantity of raw ground bones, bringing them to the hoe at 
least ten days sooner. 
This is one of the most important properties of this Phos¬ 
phate, derived from its peculiar preparation; and it will al¬ 
ways be found, where used, to cause such a speedy develop¬ 
ment of the plant, as to enable it to escape the ravages of the 
fly and wire-worm. 
It is calculated that one bushel of this prepared Superphos¬ 
phate is equal in its effect to six bushels of ground bones in a 
raw state. Thus the concentrated form of this manure, and 
its small bulk, makes it exceedingly convenient, and dimin¬ 
ishes the cost of transportation and handling; 250 pounds to 
350 pounds to the acre is sufficient for any ordinary condition 
of soil, and the whole cost will not probably be greater than 
the extra expense would be in the mere handling and carting 
the necessary quantity of stable manure to produce the same 
It may be sown broadcast, and ploughed into the soil; or it 
may be drilled in with the seed. It may also be applied in the 
hills during the cultivation of corn or other crops, when it will 
stimulate the most sluggish growth into immediate action. 
It will be delivered in bags or barrels, in such quantities as 
may be required, at the price of 2'f c. per lb„ and each pack¬ 
age will be branded Super-l’hosphate of Lime, Eagle Chemical

1 ALL EXHIBITION OF THE NEW YORK HORTICUL- 
tural Society.—The Society’s Fall Exhibition will be 
held at Niblo’s Garden, New-York City, on Tuesday, Wednes¬ 
day, and Thursday, September 20th, 21st, and 22d, 1853. The 
Committee would call attention to a very liberal list of awards; 
and to afford encouragement to those who live without the 
city, they will pay freight on all articles sent from a distance. 
The Committee will spare no pains to make this exhibition 
worthy of New York, and they look to the public for a liberal 
support—at least as liberal as is almost daily extended to 
raree-shows, which have no legitimate claims upon the public 
regard, since they aim at no public good, and effect none. The 
objects of the Society commend themselves to the considerate 
regard of all good citizens. Not the least among these objects 
is the establishment of a Horticultural Garden for New-York, 
a bill for which, on petition of this Society, was passed at the 
recent session of the Legislature ; and for the means of estab¬ 
lishing this Garden, the Society looks, in no small measure, to 
the proceeds of its public exhibitions. This of itself ought to 
be sufficient to secure it the cordial support of the entire public, 
and more especially of those who feel any pride in the embel¬ 
lishment of the city, and desire a pleasant place of public re¬ 
sort.

varieties of Marble. Also. Window Liutels, Sills, Balconies, 
and other castings for buildings of every description. 
The above Company beg leave to call the attention of Archi¬ 
tects, Builders, and the public generally, to their assortment 
of Marbleized Cast Iron Mantels, and other articles, which 
they are now manufacturing on the most enlarged scale; the 
beauty and design of which, and their exquisite finish, have 
never been equalled, and cannot be excelled. Their exact 
imitations of the finest varieties of Marble, such as Egyptian, 
Sienna, Brocatelle, Verd, &c., has elicited the unqualified 
commendation of connoisseurs in Marbles, and established 
their popularity with the public. 
Some of the advantages of this discovery consist in its 
capability of withstanding a high ukat, of resisting acids 
and oils, which stain and deface Marbles, and their cheap¬ 
ness, (being about one third the cost,) in comparison with all 
other kinds of Mantels; also the advantage of being packed 
and sent with safety to any part of the country. 
The Marbling department is under the superintendence of 
Mr. E. DEEMING, who first introduced this invaluable disco¬ 
very to the public, aud demonstrated its practical utility and 
application to metals and other substances. Address orders 
and communications to CHARLES CROSBY, Secretary.
