metal, for the purppie.olexamining and seeing the
several machines.. worked by the unflermentioned
Candidates for the premium, fOr sweeping •chironies.
. The first machine introduced, was one ,by Mr.
Ortsa•E, late an Officer in the Army, 'tieing a brush
curiously construed upon the' end of arielastic pole,
cornpmed of whale-bone, with twosrojeding wings
made of strong leather, the end of which was lined
'with steel, to torte a scraper. To the pole were so.
peradded various lengths made cif the sante materials,
and lapped round with a cord, resembling the handle
of a drayman's .Whip, and sb contrived, that by the
'elasticity of the pole, joined tlitis together, and
suspended from the brush, it took the chimney in all
direftions. The ChinineY to the top was 45 feet
high, and in three minutes the machine, thus con-
trived, completed the Operation.;
The second was Mr. BER. His machine was
.also fixed upon the end of a pole, being six brushes,
forming a sugar-loaf, with a Scraper affixed to each
brush, being so well contrived, that when the ma-
chine ascended to the top oldie chimney, the smallest
touch in pulling, a conduning cord, the whole of the
'brushes spread in their several directions, so as to
completely fill the flue and crevices of the chimney,
with a scraper and brush extended in every direr-
tion. This machine ascended the chimney by the
assistance of several pieces of wood, • occasionally
linked together, at the extremity of each link,-
which formed an angle, with a caster or roller at
each angle. The machine in its experiment, by
.some accident, broke the chimney pat, and left the
brush at the top; but on the second trial, in a back
parlour, it completed the design in five minutes.
The third was ,rt Mr. GRl'Fi'lN—his being con_
strutted with a coarse brush, nearly in the same
manner, with the exception of a spring„ and a top
brush which was tofall.over the chimney-pot; but
by some .defed•,he 'could not raise the machine.
During this time Mr. Came observed a small Auk:.
ing oven with a floe to it, and in less than three
minutes, be, by his mentioned machine, completed
his' expel intent, by Sending iris brush, &c. to the
top of the chimney and down again.
The fourth was a Mr. DAv ts. His machine was
dearly construned the same as that of Mr. BALZER'S;
forming only four: brushes-,- with serger affited im-
mediately before •each brush,, with inflexible joints,
and•several pieces of lath itlond, forming an handle;
by the addition of these handles, it six minutes,
ascended the chimney,
4$ • r
cet, and completed ills
operation.

The Stiff and last was a Mr. SMART; this was a
brushforming: live squares, upon the end cf a hol-
low pole, thiough which was a small rope, and was
followed by a vast number of short lengths of wood,
with a hole and rope
,through each ; at the end of
each of those pieces of wood there was a piece of
brass forming a kind of bell, the end of each wnod
followed in succession, into the groove of each of
those bells,., so as to make them stationary ; and by
tightening this, rope, which was done by a pulley,
they became substantial,, and yet ,so pliable as to
take the zig-zag of the flue ; but by some mischance,
one of the pieces of wood broke ; and notwithstanti.„
in he had tried the experiment before with succes4
in this instance he failed.

On. Tuesday night, about ten -o'clock, a Gentle-
man and Lady teturning to town a post.chaise,
were stopped on 'Caphinn Common, by •a single
highwayman; AOio di:ruanded the Gentleman's mu;
ney, at the same time presenting a pistol. The
Lady being much • frightened, he begged her not to
be any way alarmed, as he ufroul&not do them any
harm. Gentleman Gentlean gave him a purse euntabling
about 201. `l'lm highwayman then wished thetil a
good night, and ,gallnped off towards Mitcham.

Castle- of r:u the wonderful 1-13rNemanship of
