Buffalo, January 26, 1853. ) 
Mr. J. Stuart Gwynne, New-York. —/Sip; we have the Pump 
purchased of you in operation. It gives us great pleasure to 
say that of all pumps we have ever used in our business, this 
is the only one that has worked to our satisfaction. Pre¬ 
vious to putting in this one, we had four cast iron lifting Pumps, 
of twelve-inch bore, and one rotary Pump in use, but they all 
did not answer the purpose. This one (your Re-acting Centri¬ 
fugal Pump) throws double the quantity of water, and with 
one half the power to drive that they did, and never refuses 
to do duty. Yours, B. BRADLEY & CO. 
Russell, January 20, 1853. 
J, Stuart Gwynne, Esq .—Dear/Sir: We take pleasure in 
saying that your Centrifugal Pump works to our entire satis¬ 
faction, and that we consider it one of the most durable and 
economical Pumps in use.—Very respectfully yours. 
Signed, JOHN SMITH A CO., 
Per F. SMITH.

J. Stuart Gwynne, Esq.— Dear Sir: I reply to yours of the 
10th, requesting our opinion of your Centrifugal Pump. We 
have now had in constant use for about three months one of 
your No. 3 Pumps, during vrmcb time it worked to our 
entire satisfaction, throwing an amount of water equal to 
that given by our old pumps, of which we had three double¬ 
action six-inch cylinder. We draw the water 190 feet, with 
eight feet rise, and force it 22 feet high. We consider them 
superior to any pump we have ever seen, and will have great 
pleasure in showing and recommending it to all requiring 
such. We may add that we find a very great saving of power 
in driving this pump, employing a narrower belt for it than 
was used for each of the old ones. 
Signed, J. R. GREENFIELD, 
Trenton, N. J„ June 29,1853. 
Denr Sir: I take great pleasure in giving you my opinion 
of your Pumps. Last winter the enlargement of our canal 
made a great deal of pumping necessary. For this work ten 
of your pumps were procured and put in constant use, each 
worked by a separate steam engine. The water was mixed 
with mud and other foreign matter, and yet they all worked 
without stoppage or delay; and since the completion of the 
work, upon their being carefully examined and inspected, 
they were found to be in perfect order, requiring no repair. 
In fact, they seem to be entirely free from liability to get out 
of order. Their portability is another advantage they pos¬ 
sess; it was constantly necessary to change their location, 
which was done with but trifling delay. For our work, or that 
of like character, I believe them to be better adapted than 
any other with which I am acquainted—so, as they have been 
of the greatest service, I can very confidently recommend 
them. J, G. STEVENS, 
Resident Engineer Delaware and Raritan Canal. 
Hammell Mills, April 27,1853. 
Mr. J. S. Gwynne, New-York .—DearSir: I take great plea¬ 
sure in saying that the Patent Centrifugal Pump, purchased 
from you in January last, is satisfactory tome in all respects. 
For the amount of power employed, I am well satisfied it will 
throw more water than any other pump I have seen or used. 
When it was first started it was driven with a Gutta Percha 
half-inch cord, but the difficulty of keeping the ends of the 
belt fastened induced my foreman to substitute a piece of 
hemp twine, such as bundles of paper are tied up with, and 
for the past two months we have been driving this pump with 
this trifling cord. I use the Pump for bleach liquor, and it 
raised 27 feet at the rate of 40 gallons per minute. 1 will for¬ 
ward you an order for another Pump in a few days. 
(Signed) Yours truly, E. N. COPE.

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, anil 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, Ac., 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 heat, 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, and demonstrated its practical utility and 
application to metals and other substances. Address orders
