' arms, and a door at each side, leading to the centre com-
partment, bearing the Prince of Walea's feathers. The
roof is also surmounted with regal crowns. The hanging
blocks arc carved in wood, with a scrollwork, having a
tiger in the centre. The wheels are rimed with the
stem and leaf of the vine; the axle-guards see also or-
namented. The buffer springs and rods, hearing springs
and tension bars, are all in working order. The carriage
is supported by eight wheels. At first sight, it would
appear that a carriage of such length as to require four
pairs of wheels would not be calculated to turn curves
with safety, as the flanges of the wheels, being in a direct
line, might interfere with the curved rails. This diffi-
culty is overcome by placing two pair of wheels near to
each end of the carriage, leaving a considerable space in
the centre. This arrangement allows it to turn a curve
with nearly the same facility as if it hail hut two pairs of
wheels, while it gives the advantage of much less oscilla-
tion, and adds greatly to the security ; fur if any particular
wheel should fail—by the tire of the engine wheel break-
ing—the remaining wheel at that end of the carriage
would still support it. The model is to be fixed upon
rails, and covered by a glass case.
Malady and Sons, II arwick—Glass cam of hats, showing
the manufacture from the raw material through eight
different stages to the completed article—va. raw ma-
terial for body, raw material for nappiug, body made,
body proof'd, body rutted, body blocked, hat finished,
hat complete. A second compartment shows manufac-
tured silk hats, present fashions, and new designs; venti-
lating cork and zephyr hats, fight and Wad* weigkin
varying from 1 ounces upwards. A third compartment
'how, manufactured stuff rustic-a, novel style, Sarnbriro
hats of all colours ' • also new designs in embossed felt

Mackenzie, J. S., Newark.—The triturator, a machine for
grinding mercurial preparations, paints, printers' inks,
and such articles as require continued friction and agi-
tation in their manufacture. It consists of a pan or
mortar fixed in a wooden frame, with an apparatus so
contrived that by turning a handle it gives to a heavy
pestle a rapid rotary and at the same time a gradual
alternate centrifugal and centripetal motion, so that
the bottom of the pestle effectively acts upon the entire
surface of the mortar. This ingenious machine was in-
vented at March, Cambridgeshire, in October last; it
effects a saving of upwards of 500 per cent. in manual
labour, while the preparations made by it are greatly
superior in quality to the ordinary process. The want of
such a machine 'has long been telt, fur while chemists'
apprentices, in many cases paying high premiums, should
be acquiring a competent knowledge of their business,
their time is occupied, their faculties blunted, and their
health impaired, with the laborious and monotonous work
which this apparatus is adapted to perform. Another
article to be exhibited by alr. filackenrie is the " Vulcan
Spring." This is an extremely simple and efficacious
door spring, applied at the top of the door, a short dis-
tance from the joint. No part of it is seen when the door
is closed. It is not liable to lose its power or get out of
order, and possesses many advantages over those at pre-
sent in use, while its cost is trifling.
Moravian Establishment, Fulneek, Leeds—A piece of m edle-
work, by the ladies of this establishment. An inscription

Pace, Mr., Bury-1. A skeleton clock, 2 ft. 4 in. in height,
which goes three years without winding up. This is ob-
tained by six powerful springs, the united force being
equal to 2501b5. weight. They are enclosed in six barrels
or boxes ; three are connected with chains to a fuzee on
the right hand and three on the left. The power is thus
concentrated in the pinion on the second great wheel,
and is conveyed up the train of wheels and pinions to the
pallets, which are connected a ith the pendulum. The
power is here reduced to a few grains ; hut is quite suffi-
cient to keep the pendulum in constant motion. After
the clock is first wound up the chain unwinds from the
smallest part of the fuzee, three turns of which allow the
barrel to revolve once in 210 days. This i. believed to
be the slowest motion ever produced. It registers the
day of the month, the number of weeks and years it has
been going since it was last wound up. 2. A pyramidical
skeleton timepiece, 23 inches in height, which good three
months with once winding up. The dial is placed at the
bottom of the clock, to show the motion of all the wheels,
with Graham's dead-beat ex-aperient. The dial being
placed so far below the centre, the hands are moved by
a novel taut simple mechanism. 3. A barometer, of
unique design, in highly-polished brass, containing three
glass tubes, supported by scroll work. The centre tube
is the barometer, and those on each sidle move an index,
which rise and fall by turning a nut at the bag, of the
stand. At the same time, by menus of wheel-work, the'
turn the hands that arc on two dials, one fur night and
the other for day, indicating the state of the barometer.
The whole is covered by a glass shade, 3 ft. high, sup-
ported on a pedestal from the floor.

ing, wringing, and mangling. It consists of an adapta-
tion of Mr. Its id's lever manFle, combined with a wash-
ing tub of a novel construction, into which the clothes
and water are thrown, shut in, and thoroughly washed by
machinery; after which by an equally simple process
they are well wrung. This is managed by placing the
wet clothes in • stout netted hag, and the bag, not the
article that is in it, is twisted so that the water is thrown
. .

off, not by beings crewed out so mucias-- by simple
-
pressure.

Serymegour. Mr., Edinburgh—Model of a state bed, carved
in pine and fir tree. The materials used in the uphol-
stery arc chiefly of Scotch manufacture, the blankets,
which are of the finest Cheviot wool, being made by
Mr. Crease, of Jedburgh. The bed is profusely but
tastefully ornamented with various heraldic devices; on
the head-piece the Scottish arms being beautifully em-
broidered, while on the foot-board are emblazoned the

crowns' coronets, and initials of all the 'loyal Famiy.

cloth.
Stott, Abraham• Oldham. Sculptured figure of the Dis-
tressed Poet,•' or James I. of Scotland in confinement at

Windsor.
Skinner, John, Aberdeen—A momentary-motion life-boat.
This boat, whether sharp or full built, possesses the
power, under all interruption., of immediately resuming
her original position. Allowing 6.74 lbs. as the weight per
cubic foot sustained by this or other air-tight vessel, we
have, on Mr. Skinner's principle, in a boat whose dimen-
sions contain 247 cubic feet, a buoyancy sufficient to float
• greater number than such boat can contain ; and the
same buoyancy is maintained, whether placed with her
gunwale upwards, on her side. or in any other disadvan-
tageous position. When inverted, she will float on hr r
fore and after air-ess,s, thus preventing the contact of
mid-ship gunwale with water, whereby little water being
left to displace, the vessel is freed of that formerly insur-
mountable hindrance to self-righting; but from the boat's
peculiar construction, the inverted position it were impos-
sible to retain.
