THE Publishers having often been requested to arrange some easy and expeditious plan whereby a Clergyman may refer to the Sermons he has written upon various subjects and preached in different places, have prepared the above, which, although in its Infancy, has obtained so much encouragement as to justify a hope that with the kind aid of those who adopt it, an efficient system may eventually be arrived at.

FORTUNE'S EPITOME OF THE FUNDS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, &c. This is the only authentic guide book extant on the nature and description of public investments, whether English Government Securities, American State Stocks, Foreign Loans, Railway Shares, or Joint-stock Bank Shares. There is a full and perfect history of the manner in which business is transacted in the various securities, the origin of our Funded Debt, the Negociation of Foreign Loans, and the whole instruction for perfecting transactions therein, with the periods and places for the payment of Dividends, &c. The fact of the present being the fifteenth edition, at once testifies to the value and utility of the work, which has been much enhanced by the careful and scrupulous revision effected by Mr. Morier Evans of the subject matter of its contents, so that all changes and alterations down to the middle of this year (1850) have been introduced. A New feature in the volume is, that railway shares and joint-stock bank shares-these undertakings having absorbed a large amount of capital-are fully particularised, and their character as investments specified, by the return of dividend and other minutiæ. To all persons who possess capital for outlay, and who feel disposed to make public securities their medium, we should recommend a reference to the pages of "Fortune's Epitome" for sound and wholesale data.-" John Bull,'" 20th July, 1850.

POSTAGE LABEL AFFIXOR. Although to many persons the process of affixing labels on to letters would appear insignificant, yet when the numbers are large it is far otherwise, and often painful as well as difficult; hence the above invention, consisting simply of a a metal vessel containing a sponge saturated with water, and covered with a heavy lid lined with an absorbent substance, which will sufficiently damp from eight to a dozen labels by one gentle pressure, and keep them so until used. The whole apparatus being constructed to form an ornamental paper weight when not otherwise required.

COPYING MACHINES.

Are Articles in which the Advertisers have been long since convinced that Parsimonyis very injudiciously applied. They are expensive to purchase at the outset and if not good give endless trouble and had better be thrown away. Having read several Advertisements quoting lower prices than their own and being anxious to be surpassed by none of their Fellow Tradesmen, they have sent round to inspect, and in no iustance have they seen one at an inferior price at all equal to their own, which, being made of the Very Best Iron by the Best Workmen that London can Produce, and with most Powerful Machinery, they have no hesitation in saying are at present unequalled. A great variety is always on inspection and ready for immediate use.

The following are the Prices of Machines and Tables. They have lower priced, but which they cannot warrant. They have also sold the Lever Presses but not willingly.

Instructions for use.

Upon each of your Letters place successively a leaf of Damped Copying Paper and a leaf of Oiled Paper; give them one minute's gentle pressure in the Machine; withdraw and lay them out to dry."
