SMOKE.— The following remarks on RODDA'S PLAN were made 

 at the meeting of the Leeds Smoke Committee, held Jan. 26, 1813 : — 



The Rev. J. A. Rhooes said, that, if the meeting would permit him. he 

 would mention what plans he kne'v to be very effectual. He had been for 

 years annoyed at his residence at Mytholm by the smoke arising from the 

 mil] of Messrs. Robinson and Co.. at that place. He hail remonstrated with 

 them on the subject, but. being the owner of a mill himself, he thuught it 

 best to try to prevent smoke at bis own mill, in order that, if lie succeeded, 

 he might have good srrounds for his remonstrances with Messrs. Robinson 

 and Co. The mill of which he was the owner was that of Me-srs. Walker, at 

 Milshay : and at it Mr. Rodda was employed, and he had since seen that 

 gentleman's plan in full operation there, and had examined it closely, and 

 certainly the apparatus had been put up to his (Mr. Rhodes's) entire satisfac- 

 tion, and was quite effective in preventing smoke. — Mr. Maclea had had 

 Rodda's plan in use for six months, and he could testify to its good effects. 



Mr. HoLDFoaTH said that he had found Rodda's plan better than rive or 

 six other plans that he had tried. He had persevered in the use of Ko Ida's 

 apparatus, which prevented smoke, effected a saving in the fuel, and had 

 other advantages — such as raising the steam quickly, and keeping it up a 

 regular height with very little attention on the part of the fireman. As soon 

 as ever smoke was generated, the apparatus possessed means of destroying 

 it; and the only time when there was smoke was when fresh coals were 

 thrown on the fire, and then there was not much smoke, and that was not 

 visible more than half a minute. The coals he was using were unriddled 

 slack, which he found to answer verv well, and his mill was quite free from 

 smoke. He believed thru Mr. Rodda's plan was applicable to dye-house pans 

 and to all sorts of furnaces except to the rotatory (Bruuton's) grates. 



Mr. Atkinson inquired if any plan that was known could prevent a large 

 quantity of smoke being emitted when a fire was first lighted? — Mr. Hold- 

 forth replied that Mr. Rodda's did to a great extent. 



Mr. LrcrocK said that Messrs. Pease and Heaton, and also Mr. George, 

 had applied Rodda's plan to their dye-pans, and found it to answer exceed- 

 ingly well. — Mr. Holtjforth had seen the plan in operation at Messrs. Pease 

 and Heaton's, and he could testify that it was quite effective. It was only 

 when Mr. Rodda's instructions were not obeyed that smoke was generated. 

 With regard to the best means of ensuring attention mi the part of firemen, 

 Mr. Huldforth stated how he did with his men. He went to the fireman and 

 said, when the plan was in effective operation, " Mow, you see there is no 

 smoke, and vou see. if the apparatus is properly attended to, there will be no 

 smoke.'' " Yes." said the man. " Well, then," replied Mr. Holdforth, 

 •• Hike notice and remember, that if I see any smoke coming out of the top of 

 the chimney, you must take that as a month's notice to quit." This he 

 found had the effect of making the man attentive to his duties; and if he 

 managed well, and to his (Mr. lloldlorth's) satisfaction, he occasionally gave 

 him a little reward. 



R. RODDA is now in Leeds, and begs to inform the proprietors of steam 

 tv, \is. Sec . in Yorkshire. Lincashire, and elsewhere, that he has reduced 

 his prices, and is also furnished with numerous testimonials as to the jwrlect 

 success of his plan for CORSUHTNe sin ok k and savins rat i— Communications, 

 addressed to ll. Briggate. Leeds, attended to immediately. 



DREDGE'S PATENT IRON BRIDGES. 



THIS econoinic.il and powerful system of construction is founded 

 upon the principles of the lever — therefore, it is adapted for the hea- 

 viest traffic on rail and oilier roads, and for the largest or smallest spans in 

 all situations. It is no; ball' so expensive as timber bridges ; and, taking an 

 average on the old principles of suspension, this 



system admits of the erection of 10 powerful bridges for one, there being so 

 much less material and labour in their const ruction. The Clifton-bridge, 

 upon this principle, ciuld lie erected for A'10, 000. in six months. The prin- 

 ciple was first used by the Victoria Bridge Company, over the Avon at Bath, 

 in 1836, in a bridge 150 feet long, and 19 wide. Afterwards, the government 

 adopted it in five bridges in the Regent's Park ; and Sir James Colquhoun, 

 Bart., used it over the Leven, in Scotland ; this bridge is 292 feet long and 

 20 feet wide. Another is erected at Wraysbury, near Windsor, for G. S. 

 Harcourt, Esq., and one across the river Froine. for II. Miller, Esq. The 

 elevation, plan, sections, and description of Mr. llarcourt's bridge is pub- 

 lished in the "Architect, Engineer, and Surveyor," No. 36. It is 100 feet 

 long and 17 broad, and its cost was less than the centering for a stone bridge 

 of the same magnitude. 



*,* J. Dredge will undertakp the construction of bridges, and guarantee 

 their stability ; and he will take shares in any loll bridges he mav erect.

BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. 



GERISH'S PATENT DOOR-SPRINGS, FOR CLOS- 

 ING EVERY DESCRIPTION OF DOOR— Manufactory, 16, East 

 Road. Hoxton New Town. 



these springs consist of parallel and rising hinges in Brass or Iron, and 

 swine centres for doors opening both ways. 



These improved spring-hinges or door-springs merit general attention, 

 as they can be applied to any doi r. in every situation, without defacing the 

 wood-work ; their action is easy and noiseless, neat and not visible when the 

 door is shut, and are made to surpass the best now m use for nearly one half 

 the price ; they allow the door to go quite back, and are not likely to get 

 out of repair. 



The Swing Centre possesses in a simple combination of power double the 

 strength of any hitherto invented in a much smaller size, and at little more 

 than half tbe expense.
