A simple and ingenious method of condensing 
smoke, metallic vapours, and other sublimed matter, 
not liable to be infused by admixture with water, has 
lately been made public by Mr. Jeffreys, of Bristol. 
It consists in having connected with the fire a fur- 
nace, two parallel funnels communicating together 
at the top, wp one of which the smoke or vapour 
ascends, and then passing into the other, is imme- 
diately condensed, and carried down by a shower of 
water, which falls unceasingly from above, and passes 
off by an opening below. 
A meeting was lately held, for forming an Associa- 
tion to build Piers and establish a Steam-boat across

ditious communication, over the Severn, with Chep- 
stow, Piercefield, Tintern Abbey, Monmouth, and 
Hereford, from Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, and

was opened by the Duke of Beaufort, and nearly half 
of it taken at the meeting.
