line of frame, the effect is to elongote the circle and to

take uway the monotonous effect of a ring-like fnuae.
Another upright fr one his fottuoto of foliage and flowers
cut through" at top and base. A very Dint and deli-
cate sketch study by Mudise, belly a portrait of the late
Countess of 81e..M.,t0u in morning eonume is framed.

Another frame exhildti an adaptation of two drawing.,
by different 1113.k11,, to the :Sallie tableau • the upper one
being an arched square, the lower au oral, encircled by
a wreath, hanging over the line of frame, inwards and

out, .\ circular table, about 4ft. in diameter, aml
35 inches high, standing on a spiral pillar and tripod.
The top contains sixty landseapes and views, in oil, by Mr.
Pyne. All are front nature; and aM are represented as iu
gilded frames, and lying upon a light wood table, of the
colour of satinwood. A large circular disc of plate glass
covers these views and the whole top of the table, so as
to protect it from injury. The centre of the table is oc-
cupied by an oval-framed view of Clifton, near Bristol.
Above and trdew this are two upright views, of and near
Clifton. On each side are a pair of horizontal views, and
the spaces Ix tween these arc filled at. with more minute
landscapes, toast seen•, sea-pieces, &e. The table itself
is of gold and white, but differs from the usual style in

which the white pre'do.nialtes; for this table is madly of
gold or gilding, burnished and frosted, save three female
terminal figures, which are of dead white, except a wreath
of wheat-ears round their brows. These li..tures terminate
in a scroll conn-ctinu thorn with the tripod stand of the
table. The top is bordered beneath the glass with a nar-
row ring of crimson cloth, and above the glass with an

Goddard, Nuttinglron. A kitchen range. Every vmtriv-
anee for tmkiae, fryiaz, nod

all kinds of provisions appears to be provided, as well as
in • foe supplying hot water and heat for a
green Ouse. or conservatory.
Hunter, Edwin, Broomhall-street, Sheffield. A display of
scissors in a glass ease, 4 ft. 6 in. by MI. 6 in., with a
carved oak frame, containing 230 pairs of scissors of every
size and pattern, grOtllltd and mounted upon a white
around. The centre object is a pair of huge scissors, 22
inches lung, the bows and shank representing in outline
two crowns, the upper one surmounted by a thistle. All
the ornamental work i. wrought with the file, some por-
tions of the surface being cha,ml. This object is by far
the most expensive pair of scissors ever produced in Shef-
field. On each side of these appears another pair, nearly
the same size and scarcely less beautiful or costly. Oae
pair represents, in chasing, the bruising of the serpent's
head; in the centre is wrought out with the file the
l'rince of Wales's feathers, and the bow is constituted
of the emblematic groupof the shamrock, rose, and thistle,
and some curious scroll-work, all wrought out with the
file. The other lateral pair of scissors are likewise beauti-

fully chased. The depurtntent conveying the greatest
amount of instruction to the general spectator is in the left-
hand lower corner. It illustrates the process of the scis-
sors manufacture in ten distinct stages: 1. A plain piece of
steel ; 2. The mood, after the first process of forging ;
3. The forging complete ; 4. Filed; 4. Bored and shar-
pened ; G. Oround ; 7. Bow got up ; S. Fitted ; 9.
Glazed; 10. A finished pair of ordinary barber's scissors.
Over these objects there are specimens of print, woman's,
shaping, drapers', and nail scissors, MI glazed ; a pair of
dandy's whisker scissors, with a comb fabricatttl at one
side; a variety of lamp scissors, vines, flower-gatherers,
pruning and slide pruning shears,'and horse-trimmers, all
with very long stems ; massive tailors' shears and Ameri-
can ditto. Thu right hand side of the case is headed with
specimens of fancy shaping and bankers' paper scissors.
hair and nail scissors, and a great variety for gentlemen's
dressing-eases. In the centre of this side the most
striking object is a pair of leineh fancy nail scissor,
ornamented with etching; these, as their immense size
suggests, are designed only for show. Beneath them is a
group of surgeons scissors, carved, angular. and
distorted into every imaginable shape, for diffirult
operations. their very appearance being sufficient
to create a shudder. Included in the foregoing arc all the
ordinary and most useful varieties. The remainder, compri-
ing about one-third of the whole collection, are all more
or less ornamented with the tile and the process of chas-
ing. Amongst them arc a complete set of ladies' chate-
laine scissors, and about a dozen pairs representing differ-
ent kiuds of birds, the blades being the bill, the stems
forming the legs, nod the centre representing the holly,
with the plumage beautifully depicted by the skill of the
chaser. In no other kind of ornament is chasing so ef-
fertive. There are also fifteen pairs of elegant ladies'
scissors, repmenting effigies of the eagle, swan, peacock,'
pheasant (these are large and very beautiful), butterfly,
&e. ; besides a lot of fancy shaping and miscellaneous scis-
sors. All the interstices are filled up with an endless va-
riety of useful ornamented scissor, including some of the
smallest kinds, used by artificial fly-makers. Amongst
the curiosities there is a pair of scissors which, when
closed, are exactly in the form of a slogger, and the joints
are so delicately finished as to be quite imperceptible.
Another pair represents The Iron Duke " on:horseback,
in military costume, politely bowing to an acquaintance.
Mc Rae, J. J., Newark. A triple stay for all purposes
where the strength of a fabric is required; useful for
strengthening male attire; also a waistcoat of novel
form, which can be lengthened or shortened at pleasure ;
another waistcoat, so arranged as to entirely supersede
the use of braces; likewise an improved top to drawers,
.1601 will supersede the use of belts, and ensure exemp-

flail from rupture.
Millington and Son, Newark. Patent corn screen and
blower, by means of which wheat bcMg passed through
it is enhanced Is. per quarter.
Mackenzie, J. S., Newark. The Mackenzie triturator;
also a Vulcan spring.
Milner, Manchester. Twelve safes. They begin with a
safe of the smallest size, and go up to the largest, andeonsist
of half-inch wrought iron plates externally, as all the
strongest class of 'whitest safes do. The first specimen is
a safe called No. 1, which will consist of the sides only,
put together in the first operation, to show the mode of
dovetailing the iron plates. A safe of this size will also
be shown in a finished state. The safe No. 2 will ad-
vance a step ou the skeleton of the first one, and will
show the inside of the lock, the mode of fastening the
hinges, and the dog-bolts. This safe will not contain the
fire-proof inside, but a finished safe of the same class will
lee laid beside it. The whole of the exhibition safes arc
fire and thief proof. The strength is equal throughout ;
and whether the safe be large or small, it would equally
resist the fire or the burglar. Tha two largest of
these safes consist of a single and double doored
safe—the former .5 feet 6 inches high, 3 feet wide,
and 2 feet 6 inches deep • and the latter 6 feet
high, 5 feet wide, and 2 feet 6 inches deep. Thesafe
with the single door will weigh about 35 cwt., and the

other safe about 3 tons.
Mortimer, Mr., George-street, Edinburgh, has constructed a
beautiful inkstand of Scotch pebbles, upwards of one hun-
dred being employed at once a very ornamental and
thoroughly national contribution.
Noak, Messrs., Walter & John, Droitwich. A case of salt.
It contains a sample of brine from the springs, the quan-
tity of saline matter contained in which is about 43 parts
in 100. The supply of this valuable fluid seems Inex-
haustible ; its strength and quality have been for centu-
ries the same, and with the present works it is estimated
' that 260,000 tons of salt are annually manufactured from
the Droitwich brine. Also a specimen of rock Lilt, and
nine samples of the different qualities of salt most in de-
_ ma nd.

Richmond and Chandler, Salford. A variety of the im-
proved chaff-cutter known as Richmond and Chandler's
patent chaff machine, possessing the merit of a set of
self acting feed-rollers, thereby rendering it unnecessary
to employ more than one person in feeding and turning
the machine. The merit, of the No. 1 corn-crusher con-
sist (says its inventors) in its economical construction.: t
has a new and highly important feature in the employ-
ment of a setting screw on the back of the feeder (quite .
original), a slight pressure on which will increase or di-
minish
the supply on the working rollers, so formed as to
combine both a cutting and crushing action, rendering
its effect on the grain more perfect than simple pressure,
and by the new application of feeding can be regulated
to the power of one boy. Price 5/. ss.
Richmond and Chandler. Another grain crusher (No. 2),
for crushing malt, barley, oats, &c., with fine machine-
fluted rollers, possessing a simple and effective arrange-
ment, by which they are always kept parallel with each
other, and, being driven at different speeds, the smallest
grain of linseed is effectually crushed, and clogging en-
tirely prevented • is applicable for hand, horse, steam, or
water power. Price, 6/. 10s.—A two-knife chaff-cutting
machine, combining self-adjusting feed with Richmond's
tooth rollers, said to be very suitable for small farms,
private stables, &c. Price, 14. 10s.
Richmond and Chandler, Manchester. A newly-invented
chaff-machine, No, 5, made with the view of combining
the hest points of former machines with improvements
on the whole system. The mouth is made to adjust itself
to any given feed by a weight which is appended to the
extremity of the lever, which keeps a uniform pressure on
the upper roller, while it is always at liberty to rise or
fall according to the substance which the rollers are re-
ceiving. The quantity thus cut will challenge competi-
tion with any other machine made. Price 141.—Another
chaff-machine ; the first motion given to the rollers is by
a pair of level wheels, a motion always preferred by ma-
chinists to the worm and wheel, when it can possibly ho
obtained, in consequence of the great decrease of friction.
The feed is brought forward by Richmond's toothed
rollers• and presud into a compact body by a weight sus-
pended upon the rising lever, thus producing a clean and
perfect cut. Is applicable for hand, horse, water or steam
power. Price 6/. 15s.
Russell, Mrs., Dublin. A bust column of white Donegal
marble. It resembles the Parian in grain and finish, and
works remarkably well. Also a column and panel of
Connemara green marble and a block of green porphyry
from Ressmore-park, county Monaghan.
Strudwick, Thomas, 14, New Bond-street, London. Silver
r mounted dressing-cases, &c., intended to exhibit 'peel-
. mess of various woosbi, viz., yew tree, cedar of Lebanon,
pollard oak, pollard walnut, ebony, rosewood, &c., °ma-
