of proper horizontal and vertical ship- 
lines, as described above, or founded on 
the same principles. And my -said in- 
vention consists also in a new method of 
rendering a ship or vessel (when properly 
rigged) capable of sailing uncommonly 
hear the wind, and of weathering in a 
manner superior to any other ever yet 
practised. And this I propose to ac- 
complish, by means similar to those 
above described, or to some of- them, 
and to_be used to the extent necessary 
to produce the very desirable effect 
above mentioned. And the proper inode 
of accomplishing this grand object last 
mentioned, is by means of the very ex- 
tensive head and stern ship-planes, con- 
trived by me, and placed, with respect to 
the other parts of the ship oy vessel, in a 
proper situation and direction, as descri- 
bedabove. And it is a circumstance 
peculiarly fortunate, that the very form 
and construction which I have invented, 
and which I have discovered to be the 
most advantageous for ships and vessels, 
supposing that the gills invented by 7: 
be used, is likewise the exact form and 
construction which is the most scientific 
and the very best for ships and vessels, 
exclusive of the use of gills. And all 
such ships and vessels as shall be con- 
Structed agreeably to my said invention, 
I shall term “ Stanhope Weatherers,” 
mm order to diftinguish them from all 
ships and vessels built upon any ether 
principles of naval architecture what- 
soever. 
A Stanhope weatherer is said by the 
Inventor, to be particularly well calcu- 
lated to counteract or diminish the dan- 
ger of submarine explosions, on account 
of her various and remarkable combined 
Properties, arising from her form, her 
small draught of water, her general and 
also local strength, and her various rooms, 
cabin, and chambers. 
Observutions—We have been more 
particular in the description of this in- 
vention, as we have seen persons who 
witnessed some of the noble iord’s ex- 
periments, and according to their reports 
the improvements in the art of ship- 
building are of considerable importance. 
It may, however, be doubted, whether 
sailors, who, except by’ their own com- 
manders, are not the most manageable 
of all human beings, can be induced to 
give the invention fair play. Lord Stanhope 
has. printed upon the stereotype plan, 
and with one of his own presses, the 
specification for distribution among his 
friends, and from one of these copies, 
the foregoing account is taken,

MR. JAMES BRADLEY’s, (SOUTHWARK), 
Jor anew Kind of Iron- Bar to be used 
in Fire-places for Boilers, Furnaces, 
Hot-houses, and any other Fire-place 
where Bars are used. 
This invention consists in making the 
bars hollow instead of solid, and leaving 
them open from one end to the other, 
so that the air inay pass through them. 
Care must be taken in placing these 
bars in the fire-place, so that the air may 
have free entrance and exit at both ends, 
by which means they will be kept cooler 
than solid bars, and will not, like them, 
be subject to be burnt and wasted from 
violent heat. ‘lhe advantage of making 
furnace bars hollow, and giving the air 
a free passage through them is consi- 
derable ; for, imdependently of their 
being capable, by this means, of en- 
during a greater degree of heat than 
solid ones without injury, they will last 
longer, will in a great degree prevent the 
coals irom burning toclinkers,and may be 
afforded for the same, or perhaps a 
less cest, even in the first instance.

ME. JOHN Nt toN’s, (FRTTER-LANE), 
jor a new invented Pump. 
By means of this pump a continued or 
uninterrupted stream is produced by pla- 
cing the piston or plunger, worked in a 
new and peculiar manner, (if the barrel be 
fixed horizontally) between four aper- 
tures, two of which furnish the water, 
or other liquid, from the sacking barrel 
into the working barrel, and the other 
two conveying the same away mto the 
delivering pipe. - The peculiarity of the 
mode of working this piston is to make 
it raise the water or other liquid alter- 
nately through each of the apertures 
connected with the suction-pipe, and 
to force it alternately through each of 
the apertures connected with the deli- 
vering-pipe, whence it issues in a conti- 
nued or interrupted stream. 
MR. ROBERT JOHN STANLEY'S, (GAINS- 
BOROUGH), for a Method of Tanning 
without the Use or Application of Bark 
or Mineral Astringents. 
This method of tanning does not differ 
froin that used by tanuers in general, 
except in the saving of time and ex- 
pense, and the preparation of the astrin- 
gent liquor. Vhe hides and skins pre- 
viously to their being put into the liquor — 
are plunged into a preparation of bran 
and water, where they remain two days. 
The astringent Hquor is composed of 
seventeen gallons of water, half a pound 
of Aleppo galls, five pounds of tormentil
