London, liss one article likely soon to become universal
on the washing day. Among the numerous washing
machines which have been invented, there have beer.
woe thst we hare ever before seen which would pro-
duce the desired effect, namely, to dispense altogether
with hand labour. They would loosen the dirt, but not
in all portions of the garments get rid of it in conse-
ouenoe the machine's operating only upon certain
parta In Willismson'e patent washing machine these
defects are remedied. Its mode of action is to squeeze
the linen between two ridged or beaded boards, and
the spring board being convex and the dasher concave,
the position of the linen is being continually changed.
sad the soap and hot water forced through it in all
parts alike. It is the most complete machine we have
ever seen, and is not calculated to wear out the clothes
one half so much as by hand labour. At the Foundling
Hospital, London, in April and May Last, one man in
three days effectually washed 3,853 articles, consisting
of the wearing apparel of 35 of the officers and servants,
blankets, nip, sheets, counterpanes, dtc. Further
comment as to the value of the machine is unnecessary.
Messrs. J. B. Bryon& Co., of 18,Cannon-Bt., London,
stand BM, have in view a large quantity of ornamental
sire work, consisting of garden arches, flower stands,
ornamental fencing, !cc., of the most tasteful designs,
which cannot fail to please the most fastidious taste in
matters of thii description. Their cast.tron vases for
terraces and Sower gardens are so tasteful and so well
executed that they cannot fail to impart pleasure
to the grounds where they are placed. Not only
are they permanent, but as specimens of iron castings are
nuequilled for the sharpness, delicacy, and perfect
beauty of outline which they display, the figures being
classical designs, and 'tending out in bold and vigorous
relief, awl convey the very spirit of the famed originals.
Another primmest feature in their exhibition is their
far-famed iron and wire fencing, gate., hurdles, wire net-
leg. and fencing wire,ltc. However, the landing feature
in Mews. Brown and ("o's. stand is their display of the
celebrated Shanks' lawn-mowing machines, which have
taken the first position this season. The sell-delivering
apparatii., which is so beautifully simple and effective, is
a peat laving of time and labour. Indeed, the saving in
using these machines is now so well known, and the
much nester manner in which they perform their work
than can he done with the scythe, make them quite in-
distensible fir lawns. These machines attracted great
attention in the yard—Sec Advertisement.
Mr. Thomas Bradford, of 63 Fleet-street, London
and Manchester, stand 71. Considerable attention has
been attracted to this stand to inspect the washing,
wringing and mangling oerformed by their combined
nicotine. 114 principle of working is very different to
Williamson's, but the exhibitor claims for it superior
excellence. One fact, which speaks greatly in its praise,
is the sery great number which are lolling daily, and
the large number of medals and prime which at has
pined. The machine effects great saving in soap, and
m wringing there is no strain upon the fibre, which is no
small recommendation.

Wallis and Heebun, Basingstoke, Hants, Stands 39
and 40, are exhibiting harrows worthy of special notice.
lst—the greatest amount of strength is placed where
there is the greatest strain, viz., at the point of attach-
ment to the tooth. 2. The number of nuts are reduced
three-fourths, 3. The non-liability of the teeth to get
loose, as is the case with other harrows, as the teeth
clip the beams. 4. The peculiar construction of the
teeth, and the depth of beam, exceeding the thickness,
the strength is increased in the direction of the train.
The peculiarity of their registered plough is that its
construction allows it to luck under the beans and
therehy to turn the ends shorter than other wheel
ploughs without turning over. Their patent spherical
self-adjusting bearings for shstta or spindles, working
lite the eye in its socket, are superior to all we have
ever seen, and will undoubtedly become very general.
Messrs. Pickaley, Sims, and Co., Bedford Foundry,
Leigh, Lancashire. Stands 2, 26, and 72, exhibits,
amongst numerous other machines, a quite new 1-horse
gear, for driving machines of various descriptions, the
numerous advantages of which is apparent upon the
slightest inspection. The driving wheel is an internal
one, so that tbe cogs cannot come in contact with the
legs of the horse, while the strength and power is greatly
increased by the arrangement. Their pulping machines
possess the advantage that the jnioe is preserved in the
pulp; while their hand mill for grinding corn, although
metal rollers, are cut like mill stones. Their chaff
cutters for steam, horse, or hand power, are upon • very
improved construction, and possess advantages which
we aid not observe in any others in the yard.

TRIAL OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
On Tuesday a trial of the mowing machines in the
yard wu made in a field of clover about half-smile
from the show yard. The clover was very young and
soft, and would not stand against the knives well.
Wood's prise combined reaping and mowing machine,
an American invention, e.thibitcd by Mr. W. M. Crans-
ton, of King William-strret, London, Stand 84. was Put
in competition with two English mowing machines, and
while our own countrymen's mowers were, we regretted
to see, signal failures, the American combined machine
performed its work admirably, and what was besides of
no small importance, was far lighter of draught, more
simple in its arrangernenta, and far more easily managed
than the others. Wood's improved grass mowing ma-
chine, also exhibited by Mr. Cranston, was then put into
operation, and performed its work so admirably that it
excited the surprise and admiration of all who witnessed
it. Indeed its superiority of these machines was so
great, that we understand the exhibitor obtained two
orders for Wood's combined reaping and mowing ma-
°bine, and one order for the grass mooring mac:line
while in the field, and we have no doubt it will become
• great favourite in this pert of the country.
The reaping machines were tried on • piece of green
rye. Four eutered on the oompetition—Harwoods'i
}Ward's, Cuthbert's, and Wood's American combined
reoper and mower, exhibited by Cranston. The rye
Wina very heavy crop, and well calculated to test the
Powers of the manholes. As the American is by far
Uie lightest machine, many supposed that the heavier
oars would have the best chance, but the revere* MN
tlie CLIC. Although two homes would work Wood's
machine as easily as three horses would either of the
Others, it did its work as it had done in the mowing
hid, far better than either, and consequently proved
itself the best machine for the use of the farmer,
"PcciallY as ibis the most simple in its arrangement
and consequently the less liable to get out of order.
The steam plough or rather cultivator was worked
00 Wednesday, in a field belonging to Mr.
Maio. The engine was of 7 horse-power, and the out-
tivotor bad three tines. It requires six men to work
the Plough. From the amount of ground which was
gone over on Wednesday we should say that eight acres
could be marilled in • day in • 6•ld of from 12 to 20
wes. The field operated upon was a ley which bad
ant been broken up for some years, and consequently
fully proved the power of the machine.

THB CATTLE YARD.
The show of cattle commenced on Wednesday morn.
• There were 1313 head of stock, 364 sheep, 60 hones,
and 33 pigs. Some of the &newels were very superior,
