To MANUFACTURERS, &c.— The 

 attention of manufacturers is solicited to the 

 following letter addressed by Messrs. S. and J. Holme, of 

 Liverpool, to Messrs. Price and Manbv (patentees), 4, 

 Chester-place, Belgrave-street, London, and 13, Nelson- 

 street, Bristol : — 



*' We hare delayed writin» until now, that we might 

 give our Drying' Stove a lair trial before we expressed 

 any opinion upon its merits. 



" It has now been filled and emptied three times, and 

 it has certainly exceeded our expectations. The stove 

 holds about 30,000 superficial feet of inch boards, and 

 upon our late system (steam pipes) occupied us nearly a 

 month in drying; jour apparatus, with rather less fuel, 

 has thoroughly dried each stove-full in ten days, thus 

 sparing us considerable extra labour, enabling us to expe- 

 dite our business, and saving us the consumption of 

 twenty days' fuel. The average temperature is 104 deg. ; 

 and as the continuous stream of pure air, passing between 

 the metallic plates, is divested of its moisture, it carries 

 off the dampness from the timber in an imperceptible but 

 most effectual manner. We find it a very great conveni- 

 ence, from the superior way in which the timber is dried, 

 and beeause it will not be liable to shrink in the least. 

 We are satisfied that the apparatus would be invaluable 

 for many purposes in our national manufactures, as it 

 combines etfieacy with simplicity. Our yardmen and 

 night watchmen attend to it successively, and it seems 

 mpossible that it can get out of order.

PATENT PORTABLE WATER 

 CLOSETS, on WISS and HAWKINS' PRINCIPLE.

 tablished their superiority, but the decided conviction that 

 they cannot be improved. ROBERT WISS, the actual

 attention to the above as the most simple and perfect 

 article of the kind. Also Water Closets, for fixing on the 

 same principle, are particularly recommended for the 

 country and exportation, the machinery and cistern re- 

 quiring no more room than is occupied by the seat. To 

 be seen in great variety at the manufactory. Plumber's
