Michael Micelo Taylor. Psq Chairmen's of Me Committee
made the following statement:—
" I was applied to about six 'weeks ago to take Warwick
in my tray to London, for the purpose of seeing the (overacts
which were used in the works of Mr. Parkes. 1 of coarse
appointed a time, and on my arrival at Warwick, in com-
pany w;th Mt. Denman, a Member of this House, went into
the inaitufactory of Mr. Parkes, and made every °barren.
11011 I could to astirfy myself °I its efficacy i■ tweeting the
object which 1 have in view, that of diminishing the
smoke of faraaces erected fur the purposes of heatiug the
boilers used fur working steam etigistra, and fair fur-
ls:mew necessary in different brandies of manufactures,
as well as in• b►ewbouses I never thought, na far as
my present inquiry and plata vatiun was directed, that
the experiments which bad been made, and which bail
been reported to me by Mr. Parkes and other gentlemen,
I.saen the smoke that antics from furnace.' used in the
smelting itfrres, or in' the vitrifying of glue. My object in
citing to Mr. I'Arkes's was to ascertain bow far hie experi-
ment conlil succeed in furnaces of the description I have
before alluded to, let their power and extent be what•
they might, and w judge from every experiment I could
l• there make, whether his plan would be generally applicable.
going into MK Pukes. premises I could not perceive
the least smoke ariiiing from•any chimney in the place, so
mush so that I was at a lees to ascertain which was the
chimney attached to the furnace which supplied the heat fur
the steam engine. I also noticed very accurately the garden
which immediately adjoineditbe furnace, to see if from the
Butters mud from the ,liflrreut•plants that were in that garden
there was tiou thenithe affection of soot or smoke; I could
perceive untie, though I impeded them very narrowly ; I was
anxious to snake this trial, knowing from experience that the
volumes of smoke which issue from the furnaces on every-
side of the river Thames, opposite my own house, actually
blacken every flower I have in my own garden at White-
hall. I•aflerwardt went to the bleaching-ground, to judge
wlietiniv there were earmarks of quilt ur invoke upon the
tenter-rail, on which were always hung the different articles
tsar Me/whine; on appearance of soot or smoke ; the
bleriching.groend was almost adjoining to the furnace. On
going iwiu the place where the (irritate we...retied, I desired•
that Intight he allowed to assail the furnace in whatever
way I cruse, and Ly soy experiment I thought proper to
make; If mean by the word email, to see if by any experi-
ments of mice I•cunkl create smoke. Its the first place,
I desired' that the furnace witglit be opened and raked
for a considerable time; no smoke was occasioned,
indeed noise 11:01 issued. I• then directed that the valves
whit h 'emeriti! Mr. Parkes's experiments, and gave effect to
Ins object, should be shut, and immediately the place was
involved in smoke, which erased em resorting to the app.-
131115 again. Nut satirfiril with that, I &aired that a very
large body of coal might be put into the middle of the fur-
nate, and that Mr. Parkes), apparatus should remain in the
way it did remain when lame no smoke ; l•tbeu inspected site-
ther or out, front that immense body of feel, which I twit on•
tided tt i t lonely, any smoke issued; none appeared. Ou the.
shutting of the different air-valves, an i 111 l erns, body of
smoke hayed; this convinced me that his apparatus was per.
(wily adapted to the object I had lung its view; and that•
though many others had met my observation, yet notteappear-
cd to me so simple as his, and I'desired Mr. Parkes to come to
Loudon, and apply iu stay name to persons who had steam-.
echoes, and see if they would permit him to have their
furnaces so altered, that the paddle might judge whether or
nu his apparatus would give as fair a promise of success in
London as it had done at Warwick. I'wgitell on Messrs.
Barclay sod Perkins a few days ago, in company with Lord
Harrwood, Lord Iteinlyes, and several other gentlemen,
many of them Members of this Howse, to see whether the
eiperimest bad succeeded in the furnace° attached to that
brewery. Every trial was made in my presence, and every
trial succeeded; and I have no doubt that if there was oc-
casion several Minakers of this House, who were present,
would attend and give evidence to the same fact. The sac.
cessof the experiment was a. complete et Memos. Barclay.
as it was at Mr. Parkes's at Warwick."

The building of the new Caldew bridges, we are
glad to state, is going rapidly forward. The arch
next the town was closed this day. The main
bridge consists of three arches, of 100 feet ; the
middle sroh is 40 feet span, and one foot higher
tlom the other two, which are 30 feet span each.
The old bridge was built in the year 1756, of red
stone, we suppose from I'owbeck, where the pre-
sent' red statue is obtained for the new building. It
is of excellent quality, and considered much supe-
rior to the more perishable and expensive grey stone
of the Cove quarry.. of which our I.utisontites
thought pwper ts build the non-desciipt
over the Eden. Mr. SAANDERSONI, the builder of
the Caldew bridges, is very active its his operations,
and expects that in about three weeks time a safe
carriage road will be ready.—(Carlisle Journal.)
