of time to the Cabinet Ministers.—Observer.

H. Manners Sutton, Under Secretary of State, at the Home-

Poor Removal Bill, now before Parliament, which, they re-
presented, would have the effect of adding more than one-
third to the number of persons entitled to claim relief in the
above places, and to urge the institution of an inquiry into its
general operation. The Honourable Secretary paid great
attention to the statements of the deputations; he admitted
the subject was one of very great importance, and promised
it should receive the best consideration of the Government.
PRINTING MACHINE INDEX.—It gives us pleasure to
notice a very simple yet ingenious piece of mechanism, the
invention of Mr. Edward Strong, machine manager at
Messrs. Cox's, printers, Queen. street, Lincoln's Inn. It is
generally known that machines are used principally on
account of the large quanti`jes of printed sheets now re-
quired for the enormous and 'ncreasing number of rea-
ders which of late years sprung up. It need not be won-
dered at, therefore, that mistakes do occur with those wha
have the duty of, giving out the paper, or those who pat
them into quires after coming from the machine. The in-
tention of Strong's Printing Machine lacier is, therefore, to
register the number of sheets printed, and this it does accu-
rately and with facility up to 100,000. When it iscontshie-
dered that 100 copies can be printed in ten minutes at a
