DIAL WEIGHING MACHINE&

HIqARRIOTT having obtained his Majesty's
.Royal Letters Patent, for an improvement in Weighing
,Machines, begs leave to recommend them to the Public, as the
most perfect and useful article for that purpose ever constructed ;
for accuracy, simplicity, expedition, and portability, it stands
unrivalled, as it INSTANTLY ,hews the exact weight of any article.
from One Ounce to a Ton, without the use of Weights, thereby
saving time and labour. Being perfectly portable, it may be
used in any situation—its universal utility must therefore be un-
deniable for Doine•itic purposes; in Shops; Warehouses, Coach
Offices, Market !louses, Barns; on Wharfs; at Races and Fairs;
for Cattle, Corn, Hay, Wool, &c.; or for Loading heavy Arti-
eles, itnnay be attached to the chain of a crane, and shew the
Weight at the time of craning ; it may be also made with a chair
to weigh Persons. From its extreme simplicity, it is scarcely
possible to be inaccurate ; yet, if it ever should be so, there Is
an adjusting Screw which will momentarily correct it.
11. Mauston begs to Caution the Public against several Spu-
rious Imitations of his excellent and useful !mention, which are
attempted to be introduced; none are on his genuine Patent
Principle that have not a label with his name over the King'sAnns.

TO A GREAT MANUFACTURER,
IN ST. GEORGE'S-FIELD&
T SING not of heroic ire,
1 A humbler willing theme I choose;
I sing of what you all admire,
• I sing—and help me every Mese—
Of Turner's Dye for blacking shoes.
Its qualities tenequall'i shine,
Both high and low this Blacking use,
He ranks the first In all his line.
Many indulge the fond conceit,
That rich attire will credit bring;
But far more polish'd they, and neat,
Who use the Blacking that I sing.
Gay as the lark in blooming spring,
The youth and maid Winds= appear,
Because from Turner's polishing;
Their boots and shoes shine bright and clear.

Most highly favour'd sure is he,
Who by the shining of his bOot.
Charms the fair damsel, so that she

Coyly accepts his modest suit.
And happy the mean beyond dispute
Who found this potent way to charm,
And whilst he glosses shoe or boot,
Can keep the leather free from harm.
Tinter, the lustre of your art
Gives real brilliance to your name,
Though aiming not at bead or heart,
Yet your's is sure a poilids'd fame.
Well may the master vei'd complain,
If on his shoes the lustre's lacking,
Turner—babe you forgot the manse ?
You know I circled Turner's Blacking.
What wretched mixture have you brought?
Will this keep out the rain or snow ?
You know it is not with is groat,
• And common sense must tell you so.
Give me the thitt Will shine,.

Though water fail and wow come; down;
But as for this, it may be thine,
'Twill suit a rusticated clown.
He walks in brightness who steps forth •
With Turner's Blacking on his shoes; . . .
Nay, stranger shall he be to mirth,
And lova and beast's seller profuse, •
Fit only for the ntine or steerse . ,
Who in Sue weather plodslda way,
And takes no thought or makes no dill-
Of Turner's splendid bright display.
In London-road the Factory stands,
The Exportation Warehouse seek, -
But agencies are all at. baud.
In every town and every creek.
Then sing of Turner all the week,
And'aport his Biacitiog Gray day,
'Ti. cheap and good. and truth to speak,
. . ,
Turners as grateful as you're gay !
Take notice, this Blacking may be had Wholesale and Retail,
at the Exportation Warehouse, 114, London-toad, Southwark ;
and by all the Groeerl, Perfumers, Oilmen, and Boot.makett
in the Metropolis, andla evert Town in England. 1

Cadiz. the handsomest, richest, and most cele+
brated town in Andalusia, is built at the extremity of
an isthmus, upon a pile of rocks, which are washed
by the waves of the sea. On the WA. d side its ram-
parts are flanked by a regular fortification, which
thus renders it one of the strongest places in Europe.
The immediate environs are sterile,•exhibiting in ge-
neral a sandy soil. In Cadiz there are no fountains, but
in almost every house there is a cistern to receive the
rain water that flows from the terraces. However, a
great part of the population are compelled to bring
their water from Port St. Marie, a distance of two
leagues by sea, and five by land. To the west of
Cadiz is Fort St. Sebat.tian, coihtiucted in the midst
of a ledge of rocks that mend all round it to a con-
siderable distance. The fortress is connected with the
town, by a causeway hewn in the rock. It is flanked
on the side of the sea by an advanced battery and
light-house. In order to avoid a bombardment,
similar to that which Cadiz suffered from the English,
in 1797, a cut, or carte:dims, has been made through the
rock, on which the causeway runs, which allows
the gun-boats to pass from north to south, with-
out being obliged to double the reef of rocks upon
Which the fort is raised.

About 300 toises from Cadiz is Aguada, a circa.
lar redoubt. It is called Aguada, from being the
place where ships water. All about this place it
is a very deep• sandy soil, upon which, however,
they have contrived to ral•.e kitchen gardens that
partly supply Cadiz with excellent vegetables.--
Through these sands there is a paved road, a Royal
route. On the extremity-of a tongue of land, on the
north side of the isthmus, and halt a league from Ca-
diz, is the fort of Puntales, which defends the entrance
of the port. It is surrounded by a great number of
wooden buildings filled with naval stores. Half a
league further, on the same side of the isthmus, is the
fortification called the Cortadura, constructed by the
Spaniards in 1808. It is situated in the narrowest part
of the isthmus ; so that'at full tide, when its walls are
washed by the sea, the breadth of the isthmus is only
about fifty or sixty toises. Upon the south-east side
of the isthmus, a league from Cadiz, is Torregardo,
a little fortress surrounded by a battery. From this
signals from the eastern stations are transmitted to
the city. AU about here is a deep sandy soil.
From Cortadura the isthmus becomes broader and
more elevated, and about the mill of Santibonez
commence the saltmarshes, which ate terminated by
the Rio Atilt°, a canal or arm of the sea= which for.
mesly Separated the tile of Leon froM ;hat of Cadiz;
but its course having been choalted up by sands,
theme two islands now form but one. There is a
wooden bridge over thisicanaki which after passing,
we find ourselves in the distaka of the Isle de Leon,
which is separated from theSontiaent by -an arm of
the sea, and the centre 'or Which is 'two leagues from
Cadiz. The population or the Itle de Leon, be-
'fore the last epidemic, amounted to 32,000. The
little town of Nueva Poblacion de &. Cai los was
qik
_in 1774-5,e
Leon and is about half wa
aracca. y between the
4sl d
A great part of the space between the 'Rio Ariffo
.and this place is marshy and impassable. There is
a stone bridge 'over the canal Which is in front of this
little town, that connects it with the road to Caracca.
The powder magazines of Fadrica; are situated upon
the bay, not far from the Rio Arillo. On the other
side of the isthmus, nearlT opposite these, are the
powder magazines of Setina, situated upon a height
two leagues from Cadiz. Tone Alta is a tower si-
tuated upon a little it is furnished with a tele-
graph that communicates with Torre Gordo and
Cadiz. In the neighbourhood of this tower, and
about the heights of Setina, there is some excellent
pasturage. Ca-erna de Oseo, situated on the bay, not
far from the Nueva Poblacion,de St. Carlos, is a ma-
gazine for Royal naval stoles. Puente de SIIAZO is
a stone bridge which connects the Isle de Leou with
the continent; the two extremities of the hi idge are
flanked by redoubts on each side of the road, and pro •
tected by trenches which fill with water at high tide.
—The soil all round is swampy and impracticable.
The only firm footing is on the paved road, and
about three feet on each side of it. Beyond this to
considerable extent are salt marshes. The arm
of the sea that separates the Isle de Leon from the
Continent can only he entered from the South, and
that not without considerable danger, even to small
craft, from the multitude of sunken rocks.. La
Caracca is the principal naval arsenal ; one of its
fronts is towards the bay, the other upon the canal of
the Isle de Leon; here are the principal wet and dry
docks, magazines of naval stores, &c. This import-
ant establishment is completely isolated, and between
it and the high road there is nothing but salt marshes,
which are altogether impassable. Puerto Real is a
little town on the Northern side of the bay ; it is di-
vided in two by the high road. Castillo de Matagorda,
is a fortress on the North shore of the bay, and.oppo-
site that of Punt ales, with which it defends the entrance
of the fort. It lies on the border of a creek called Cano
de Trocadero, and on the other side of this creek is
the chateau Fort Luit, hod) of sirhich serve to guard
the entrance of the creek, as well as-that of the port.
Beyond these is the Rio San Pito°, an arm of the
sea, which, during the high tides, overflows and
renders the country impassable. There .is over this
canal a bridge of boats. The town of Port St. Marie
is built upon the right bank of the Guadalete, and
nearly opposite Cadiz, which it partly supplies with
water and provisions. • There is a bridge of boars
across the Guadalete, which joins the Ho) al 'road- to
Xeres; as far as which town the river is navigable.
On the extremity of the right bank of the Guadalete,
where it touches the,bay, ss situated the Castillo Santa
Catherine. Usis fortress is surrounded by ledges of
rocks. It is 'wily apposite to Cadiz, with which it
forms the mouth of the port, but without being able
to defend it, as the distance across great. How-
ever,' the passage through It is a Jet y dangerous ore
For those out acquainted with the kinked rocks.
