' NOTTINGHAM, 
At a meeting lately held at Thurland 
Hall, Nottingham, it was refolved that a 
pian “which has been propofed for ere€ting a 
“new churcb in the parith of St. Mary, fhould 
be immediately carried into effe@, and a fub-~ 
{cripti n was entered into to defray the expence 
of the building which already amounts to up- 
wardsor 8oool. © . 
Mr. Tarratt, of Nottingham, has made 
repeated experiments of the utility of wafhi- 
ing by fteam with unvaried fuccefs, and finds 
its: pperation much fupetior to wathing by 
hand, even in point of colour, fetting afide 
the prefervation of the linen from*a confide- 
rably reduced quantity of fri€tion. The mode- 
he has purfued is to place over a {mall copper, 
a copper cylindrical fteamer or veffel, with a 
bottom full of holes four inches from the 
bafe of the cylinder, after the manner of a 
potatoe fteamer, with a fimilar top or cover 
fecured bythree clafps ; the copper being previ- 
eufly filled three-fourths with water; the ca- 
pacity of the copper fhould’ be, at leaft, equal 
to that of the fteamer. ‘The linen, &c. muft 
be foaked from ten to twelve hours in cold 
‘water, wherein pearl-afties or foda is diffolved 
In thé proportion of one ounce of the former, 
er two of the latter to every four gallons of 
‘water. After being wrung out from this fo- 
Jution, every article muft be feparately 
flightly rubbed with foap and water (one 
Pound to two gallons), in the dirtier parts, 
{prinkling the remainder, and then laid 
slightly, in fucceffion, in the fteamer, taking 
€are not to fill it quite full, The copper 
Should be continued boiling three hours; a 
cloth being wrapped round the bottom of the ’ 
ficamerto prevent, 28 much as poflible, the 
efcape of the fleam, after which let the 
clothes be’ put in. warm water, wrung out 
wathed as after the fcald in the common way, 
then rinfed, No coloured prints, flannels, 
or woollen cloth, muft be wathed after the 
above procefs.
