jeces mehtioned underneath? My book- 
feller tells me he cannot meet with ’em in

not to be had but in private or public li- 
braries. 1 dont know of any of- Jon-

If any are in your poflefiion, I fhould be

Dr. Stonhouf have been pleafed to give 
me. Jl entrufted the paper relating to Dr. 
Bihop with a gentleman, who could not 
meet with the Doétor at home: when I. 
receive his anfwer, I wiil forward it to 
you, with his Sermon, which was printed’

¥ am vicar in this town, is St. Sepulchre’s. 
It isa very curious ftructure, and faid go 
be built after the holy fepulchre in Jeru-

MR. JOSEPH RUDDART’S ({SLINGTOR) 
jor a new Mode of making great 
CABLES, Ge. fo as to aitain greater 
Strength, by a more equal Difiribution 
of the Strain upon the Yaras. 
HE method adopted by the patentee 
cannot ke explained to the general 
reader without the-ufe of feveral figures. 
But having deferibed the various parts of 
the machinery and implements tobe ufed, 
the opcrationis as follows. — The bobbins, 
which are made fomething in the form of 
the barrel in a watch on which the chain 
runs, being al] wound full of yarn, they 
are put upon the fpindles, and the ends of 
the yarns led through fimall holes and ends 
of the fpindle. One end of the fpindle 
is put into the end of the axis, and the 
other end dropped into a notch in the 
rail; then fome of the yarn is drawn off, 
and the fprings regulated, till of equal 
force and fufficiently tight. The yarns 
are then to be driwn off, leaving that 
from the bobbin long enough to reach the 
fore-part of the machine, where it isto 
be knotted to the yarns of the firand,’ 
- 
having fixed as many bobbins as intended 
yarns in the frand. he bands (if hands 
are ufed and not wheel-work) fhould alfo 
be made tight to carry the axis, which ts 
done by a fcrew, adjufting the friction- 
wheel. The ftrand is then to be run and 
laid upon the rails or fupporters, each 
yard in its proper notch; and for expedi- 
tion one of the rails may be ufed for fe- 
parating the yarns, and layimg them in 
the rails, dropping a whole range into the 
notches at once; which being done, the . 
yarns of the ftrand are to be fmooth- 
knotted to the refpeétive yarns from the 
bobbins, and the machine is ready for 
ule. The yarns at the other end of the 
ftrand are then to be put through the re- 
gifter, taking care fo to feleS% them, as to 
clear each other when ftretched to the 
holes in the regifter. The holes in the 
regifter being completed with yarns, let 
the ends be collected together upon a 
ftretch, and made faft to the heok which 
turns the ftrand in regiftering, and flide 
the regifter back near to the hook, and 
adja it by fcrews. Laftly, put round
