LONDON PATENT Steam Kitchen and Hot Air Roaster, For cooking by Steam and Hot Air. FROM $ 55 TO $ 200 AND UPWARDS.
ADAPTED for private families, hotels, boarding houses, steam boats, and other vessels; warranted superior to any other appara- tus for all kinds of cooking, in the most clean and delicate man- ner; and will cook for from five to five hundred persons; uniting economy, health and cleanliness; its various operations of steam- ing, boiling, roasting, baking, stewing and broiling, and supplying constantly from one to fourteen gallons of clean boiling water, and with or without a hot closet, are all performed by the use of one small fire, and is always well understood by once or twice using, nor is it so liable to be out of repair; is entirely free from exces- sive heat, of course most particularly adapted for cooking in hot climates ; or with additional pipes to conduct the steam or hot air, might be contrived to warm rooms in the coldest winter. The ap- paratus stands in a very small compass, say two feet four inches breadth, by one foot two inches depth, and from that to three feet by two feet, according to size, and is generally fixed in the recess on either side the kitchen fire place, and half the fire that any other on the most economical plan consumes, is quite sufficient. Vic- tuals dressed on this plan, may be cooked a second time, and be as good as at the first ; or when ready for dishing, can be made to wait an hour, without being spoiled ; and the saving is calculated to be at least one pound of meat in ten, both in boiling by steam and roasting by hot air; and many families in England, who have for years had it in use, calculate that it will clear its first cost, in from six to twelve or eighteen months, according to the number in fa- mily, it being supposed there are at least two thousand families who have it now in use ; the sales by the agent in Liverpool for the
.cton's Philadelphia Annual Advertiser.
ast year solely being upwards of eight thousand dollars, and not an nstance known, where one has been taken on trial, ever to have been returned on the agent's hands.
The apparatus is now in general use in England, East and West Indies and Canada; in various steam boats at Pittsburg and on the akes; on board the steam boat Superior, captain Milnor, running between Philadelphia and Wilmington; also two on board the steam boat Virginia and Norfolk, at Baltimore; as also in many private families in Philadelphia and neighbourhood (who acknow- edge its superiority over every thing they have before seen) and to whom references will be given to inspect the operation.
Very few of the above still remain on hand, though regular sup- lies will in future be kept, and orders taken for any particular sizes wanted; as also for steam boilers, and apparatus for warming rooms, churches, and other public buildings, washing, brewing, heating baths, &c. &c.

THE Saving Fund Society. Office No. 22, South Sixth Street-open daily. Times for Deposits Mondays and Thursdays, From 4 to 7 P. M.
This institution was established in December 1816, for the pur- pose of affording a secure and profitable mode of investing the small sums which may be saved by the industrious and frugal me- chanic, labourer, and all other persons. The sums deposited bear interest from the time they are placed in, and may be recalled at any time. The money is always invested in stock for the use of the depositors, and this stock is held by the president and cashier of the bank of the United States, as trustees.
All sums exceeding one dollar are received, and as soon as these sums amount to five dollars they bear interest, and at the end of every year, the interest is, without any trouble to the depositor, added to the principal, and becomes a new capital, bearing inter- est. By those who superintend the business of the institution, no emolument or advantage is received.
An apprentice, who will deposit in the Saving Fund Society one dollar per week, for five years, will at the end of that time have $ 293. A male domestic who shall deposit four dollars per month, for ten years, will at the end of that time have $ 612 .- A female domestic who lays up from her wages two dollars per month, for ten years, and places her savings as they are made in this institution, will at the end of ten years have § 305. A jour- neyman mechanic, who deposits five dollars per week, for five years, will have $ 1468. A master mechanic, who places in the saving fund eight dollars per week, for five years, will have secured for himself § 2340. And the father of a family, who, in order to make provision for each child, will deposit fifty cents a week from the time of their birth, for each child, will secure to every one of his children a portion amounting to $ 1716, on their attaining the age of twenty-one years.
The interests, the happiness of the community, cannot be better promoted than by encouraging among all for whom the Saving Fund Society was established, an employment of the means to at- tain the benefit it assures. Pastors of congregations, preceptors of schools, heads of families, master mechanics, guardians of children, and officers of economical and charitable societies, are earnestly solicited to assist in the accomplishment of its objects.
For the officers of this Society, see " List of Contents."

THOMAS W. LEVERING,
Bell and Brass founder, and House Bell Hanger,
No. 40, south Fifth Street, below Walnut,
BEGS leave, without too much brass, to chime in with the public practice of advertising his talent and versatile merits, and to offer upon equitable terms, his services to every class of his fellow citi- zens throughout this enviable union! When it is remembered how extensively useful and necessary are services in his line, it will not be matter of wonder that he should incur expense, and take some trouble to make their value known.
Without entering into an elaborate history of the origin and usefulness of Bells, he will merely advert to their utility in church- es, from national rejoicings to national lamentations-from the modest peal of the assiduous lover to the "lost child restored"-from the tintinnabalary clatter of a dun, to the delightful tones of a din- ner bell-from the decorations of a cheerful hearth, down to the jingle of a Conestoga team, he is able and willing to supply them. And as " Love laughs at Locksmiths," he has enlisted himself as an auxiliary in Cupid's corps of rifle-men, and has contributed mate- rially to many a conquest, after Mars had done his utmost, and feels less remorse for his victories than any Hero of the world -- Washington excepted.
Neither is he selfish-his labours are not confined to any sect or party, nor by geographical bounds :- he works for all-though FRIENDS are frequently inimical to his works, he is quite as willing to dispose of his brass as they are. 0 Casting of every kind done-Brass work for Coach and Harness Makers furnished.
