ROSS'S PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE LENSES.--These lenses give
correct definition at the centre and margin of the picture, and have their
visual and chemical acting foci coincident.
_Great Exhibition Jurors' Reports_, p. 274.
"Mr. Ross prepares lenses for Portraiture having the greatest intensity
yet produced, by procuring the coincidence of the chemical actinic and
visual rays. The spherical aberration is also very carefully corrected,
both in the central and oblique pencils."
"Mr. Ross has exhibited the best Camera in the Exhibition. It is
furnished with a double achromatic object-lens, about three inches
aperture. There is no stop, the field is flat, and the image very
perfect up to the edge."
Catalogues sent upon Application.
A. ROSS, 2. Featherstone Buildings, High Holborn.

respectfully inform the Nobility and Public that they have invented and
brought to the greatest perfection the following leading articles, besides

Ventilating Fronts, Bandeaux, Borders, Nattes, Bands à la Reine, &c.; also

all colours, and never fades nor acquires that unnatural red or purple tint
common to all other dyes; it is permanent, free of any smell, and perfectly
harmless. Any lady or gentleman, sceptical of its effects in dyeing any
shade or colour, can have it applied, free of any charge, at KERR &
STRANG'S, 124. Leadenhall Street.

PROPOSALS FOR REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT OF
ST. MARY'S CHURCH,
VINCENT SQUARE, WESTMINSTER.
_Incumbent._
REV. A. BORRADAILE.
_Churchwardens._
MR. G. PEARSE.
MR. G. PINK.
ST. MARY'S CHURCH, Vincent Square, Westminster, was erected in the year
1837, and contains 1,200 sittings, of which 800 are free.
The pecuniary resources which were at the disposal of those by whose
efforts this spacious Church was built were only adequate to provide what
was absolutely requisite for the performance of Divine Service.
There was, however, much cause for thankfulness that so large and
commodious a Church was raised in so poor a district as St. Mary's; and a
hope was then entertained that the day would soon come when what was
necessarily left incomplete might be accomplished.
