" After a careful examination of the workmanship, externally and inter- nally, and after repeated trials and hearings, your Committee feel prepared to say that this (Brown & Allen's) Piano Forte is one of the very best they have ever met with in the course of some seventeen years' observation of the progress of Piano Forte manufacture in this country. In purity, combined with power and mellowness of tone; in evenness ot tone from the bottom to the top of the scale ; in the great excellence of the action ; in thoroughness and elegance of workmanship throughout; in all the qualities, in short, which unitedly constitute a first rate Piano Forte, this instrument, in the opinion of your Committee, has not been surpassed by any Seven Octave Square Piano Forte hitherto produced among us, and they consider it eminently worthy of the highest premium in this department."

Grateful for past favors, we solicit a continuance of them, which we shall exert ourselves to de- serve, by the closest attention to the wishes of our friends and a deter- mination to please and satisfy them.

CROWELL'S PATENT STEERING WHEEL.
This new invention has already been placed upon several Ships, Barks and Schooners, and its operations thus far have proved entirely satisfactory. It is very simple and efficient in operation, requires no wheel ropes or blocks, and is ac- knowledged by all practical seamen to be the Best and Cheapest Invention of the kind ever yet introduced.
A full sized model of the above, together with letters of recommendation from Captains who have used it, can be seen at our store, where we are prepared to furnish vessels with any size that may be required.

POND & DUNCKLEE'S HOT-AIR VENTILATING FURNACE.
COLD
Front View, as set in brick-work.
It differs materially from all others heretofore in use, com- bining
Economy, Durability, Simplicity & Great Power.
It presents a large amount of Effective Radiating Surface, all of which is in more direct contact with the fire than in any other Heater. One entirely new and important feature is the ad- dition of a great amount of surface attached to the Fire Pot, in the form of fans, (see cut,) which adds very much to the power of the Furnace, and prevents the over heating and cracking of the Pot.
The construction of the Self-clearing Radiator effectually obviates the necessity of cleaning. The Radiator itself encir- cles the body of the Furnace, and is connected therewith by six flues, or distributing pipes, which, taken directly from the top of the Fire Pot, are so arranged that the fire is brought in equal contact with the entire internal surface of the Furnace, thereby rendering the Radiator and Pipes, as also the Body, when the direct draft is closed, most powerful radiating surface.
The entire structure, when set, has much less height than any other Heater of equal capacity in use, affording an oppor- tunity to give the desired elevation to the Hot Air Pipes. The Joints are all so adjusted as to prevent the escape of Gases or Smoke, and render re-packing unnecessary for years.
- A careful examination of the form and fitting of the castings will show that the liability to crack is entirely obviated by the ample provision which has been made for expansion and con- traction: For those who prefer the Lined Fire Pot, we have pro- vided a Pot of improved construction designed for that purpose. This furnace is also peculiarly adapted to the use of Bituminous Coal-a Smoke Pipe of increased size being employed.
Having but one joint, it is warranted
Also, a NEW FURNACE, designed expressly for burning Wood. not to smoke, and to give more heat, with less fire than any other pattern.
