PATENT ASPHALTED FELT, FOR ROOFING, &c, &c.

TH E Undersigned has just received, ex " Camilla," direct from the Patentees, M'Neill and Co., London, FORTY -TvVO ROLLS of the above article, the first of it that has been introduced into this colony. This improved Patent Felt is used for covering Roofs of Houses, Cottages, Verandahs, Out buildings, Sheds, and every other description of building, in lieu of Slates, Tiles, Shingles, Zinc, &c. ; and for lining Granaries and Store-houses, for coveiing Gardensheds, and Frames, and Corn and Hay-ricks. It is also used for lining the outside and inside of Walls, and as a protection to Ceilings, under flooring, from wet and damp, at the same time deadening sound. It is made of the strongest and most durable materials, and saturated with the best Asphalte or Bitumen (the same as selected bj/ Sir Isam bert Brunei for the Thames Tunnel, being found the most Elastic and effective liesister of Wet). ' > The Felt has now been 'in use for many years in some of the most exposed parts of Britain, and in every climate of the globe, and given the greatest satisfaction. Its great superiority over every other description of Roofing consists in its " cheapness, light" ness, elasticity, and durability;" advantages which no other description of Roofing combines. IN POINT OF ECONOMY, IT HAS DECIDED ADVANTAGES. The expense of Felt for Roofing, as compared with Slates, Tiles, or Shingles, is in most cases — particularly where Slates or Tiles are brought from a distance — less then onehalf j and in the Timber and Wood- work, there is a still greater saving, as the weight of the Felt is only 3fbs per yard ; being onetenth of the weight of Slates, Tiles, or Shingles. The Roofing Felt will be sold, with printed directions for U'-e, to parties who may wish to lay their own Roofs ; or the undersigned will undertake to work it at a trifling advance on the price at which it will be sold — viz., ONE SHILLING per running yard, William Tattersall, Plumber, Painter, Glazier, &c.

To the Editor of the New Zcalandcr.

SIR, — As the Editor of the Southtrn Cross has not published this letter will you give it a place in your Journal as an advertisement. W. F, 27th December, 1850. To the Editor of Vie Southern Cross.

Sm, — I again take up my pen to expose the false statements and implications published in the Southern Cross of December 24th, 1850. I have not the advantage possessed by the Editor of a public journal in meeting the combination formed against me, one thing I have—/ have the force of truth. I stated on a former occasion that your erroneous reports were either •• very careless or wilful misstatements j" I am now perfectly convinced that they are the latter, and that the facts of the case annihilate most completely the veracity of yourself and informants. You dare not venture to allow a true version of th'se casei to appear in the pages of your paper, you know too well that your untiuthful charges would rebound upon yourselves. First, with relation to the Resident Magistrate— has he lost his memory ? In the first case, as examined on the 3lst October, iB3O, and as reported in the Southern Cross of November sth, 1850, it is stated "Bush entered into a contract with Mr. Forsyth to supply him with a certain quantity of timber, and in consideration of advances made to him by Mr. Forsyth, mortgaged to him the said lease; failure having been made in payment of the advance, on the 16th of Auguit last Mr. Forsyth took possei. sion according to the terms of, the mortgage.
