Only Patented Machine-stretched ir the United States,
Has again been awarded the highest premium, a Gold Mec (the only bands which have received this distinction), by the American Institute, at the Fair of Oct., 1849, after severe tests in competition ; thus recognizing from a thorough practical and public trial, that rank and posi- tion which manufacturers have long since assigned it, as the
Best Leather Banding manufacture in the United States.
This Banding is made of the solid part only of the b Oak Leather, is thoroughly stretched, cemented and 1 eted, will run straight, and has a perfect bearing uj the pullies.
ix
ADVERTISEMENTS.
From the superior mode of its manufacture, it possesses remarkable
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY,
vond any Banding manufactured. It also excels in its running quali- any band made upon other principles and of other materials. The belt made of leather is the only one that can be relied upon to per- m well in all situations. It neither melts with friction, sticks to the llies, nor frets into shreds ; nor is it subject to sudden combustion and truction-all which are marked characteristics of Beltings made from ms.
The Patent Machine-stretched Leather Banding,
made by the Subscriber, will stand more heat, more cold, more fric- 1, and it is far more durable than those above referred to, and for all ictical purposes ; it can also be made waterproof.
The best evidence of its quality is its adoption by nearly all the exten- e manufacturers and machinists throughout the city and country, the ver and Sound Steamers, and (with marked approbation) by the vari- 3 lines of Ocean Steamers. Since its introduction by the Subscriber it 3 revolutionized machinery to the general exclusion of gearing ; and approval of practical mechanics is further emphatically expressed the steady increase in the demand for it fromn year to year. Every It is warranted to possess all the qualities requisite for durability and od performance, or the money returned.
They can be furnished of any length and width, from 1 to 24 inches, ner single, double, or round. Also, superior Lace Leather, with rivets, rrs, punches, sets, &c. WM. KUMBEL.

Are suitable for INSIDE or OUTSIDE Stairs (spiral or straight) -are lighter, stronger, and twenty per cent. cheaper than the old plans- and, being made in sections, can be packed in a small space and transported at a trifling cost.
Their great advantage is that the steps are formed in constructing the railing, which prevents the balusters from ever becoming loos- ened, and obviates the necessity for bracing-the Stairs being self supporting.
Prices from $1.25 to $5.00 per step.

These are the only Safes manu factured which combine the two Pa tents. Rich's Patent was granted i September, 1842 ; Wilder's Paten was granted in June, 1843. Bot] being combined in the manufactur of these Safes, they are rendered fre from dampness, and are warranted FIRE PROOF.
From the numerous certificates t be seen at the subscribers' store, w have only room for the following ; bu they are sufficient to show the capability of these Safes to resist an amount of heat, under any circumstances. The great fire of New York in 1845, and the Camp-street fire, New Orleans, 1850, wer two of the hotest fires ever witnessed in this country, and in eacl fire Rich's Safes came out triumphant. In no one instance has ther ever been a single book or paper, or a single dollar lost by fire, o thieves, in one of Rich & Co's Safes.

These repeated occurrences prove incontestably that Wilder's Pa tent Salamanders, with RICH'S IMPROVEMENT, are the best Safe: made in the United States, or in the whole world. They can be had at the Depot, 146 Water-street, and at the Factory, corner of St Mark's Place and Avenue A, New-York.

For boldness, depth of tone, and truthfulness, they are not surpassed .- FAMILY AND SCHOOL GROUPS taken without difficulty .- Plates containing 20 and 30 persons, all perfect, on exhibition.
DAGUERREOTYPE LIFE SIZE .- All attempts formerly to take large Pictures have not proved satisfactory, in consequence of their distorted and magnified appearance. This has been obviated by in- creasing the size of the Camera. Mr. L. has just completed one of immense size. It is the largest Camera, and the only one of its size, in the world. Notwithstanding its size, several artists have pronounced it the most perfect instrument that they ever saw.

READ THE FOLLOWING LETTERS.
NEW-YORK. October 1. 1950.
I have made a chemical examination of the Vegetable Powder prepared by Mr. Emanuel Lyon, for the purpose of destroying in- sects. I do not find it to contain anything deleterious to health, or what might be considered poisonous to the human species : but it is very destructive to insects, whenever they are forced to inhale the fine particles or dust occasioned by throwing the Powder forcibly in places where they frequent.
JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.
New- York Hospital, June 9, 1850.
I have analyzed Emanuel Lyon's Magnetic Powder, for the de- struction of insects, and certify that it is entirely free from mineral or other corrosive poison. As the result of my examination, would say that it is a combination of various vegetable substances having a peculiar influence on the insect kingdom, and that it may be used with perfect safety. In reference to its utility, its effects and astonishing. I believe it to be a skilfully prepared substance by which a valuable result is obtained, which does effect what Mr Lyon says, and is well deserving of public patronage.
LAWRENCE REID, Professor of Chemistry. The genuine articles work within five minutes after applica tion. thus every body will easily find out impositions.
