THRASHING, AND DRESSING MACHINES.

THESE MACHINES have been but recently introduced, and are adapted for preparing all

kinds of Grain quite fit for market, in a thoroughly efficient manner. The points in which these new Machines more particularly excel may be stated as follows:

1st. Their compactness; being fully one-third less in size and bulk than the ordinary Machines hitherto in use for the same purpose.

2nd. The great reduction in the number of wearing parts. In these Improved Machines more than one-half the spindles, pulleys, bearings, and driving belts required for the ordinary Machines are dispensed with.

3rd. The novel arrangement by which the Dressing Apparatus is instantly varied, while the Machine is at work, to suit all kinds and conditions of grain.

4th. The very important saving in the cost of keeping the Machines in working order, consequent on the great reduction in the number of wearing parts.

BUOY.

The RECORD BUOY is intended to be kept in some place available for instant use, and to be thrown overboard from a sinking ship, or a Vessel on Fire, so as to intimate disaster, having a paper inserted therein, already filled up with the Ship's Name, Port of Registry, Official Number, &c., and a few last words hastily written, intimating the nature of the calamity, with any further information that can be given at such a time. It has capacity and buoyancy to contain besides these, the Log Book, and several pounds' weight of Papers or Valuables. It is lined with Cork between the Cylinder and outside case, so that, although waterlogged, it will not sink, but keep afloat for a long time, probably for years.

In order to DISTINGUISH IT FROM ANY OTHER FLOATING SUBSTANCE, so that the Captain of a passing Ship may recognize it as an intimation of disaster, and consider it a sacred and imperative duty to pick it up and convey the information it contains according to the directions found within, it HAS RAISED CONSPICUOUSLY UPON ITS SURFACE A SILVERED GLOBE, which, owing to the reflection of the light, will make it visible at a great distance, and when dancing on the wave it shines, in fact, like a star in the firmament, and being distinguishable from anything else, its character cannot be mistaken.

It is furnished with ample directions to the finder how to act, and has Envelopes already directed to the proper authorities, who, on receipt thereof (and they should be transmitted by the first available means), will, after verifying them to prevent imposition, immediately convey the information to the owners of the lost Ship, to Lloyd's, and all parties concerned; and if a foreign ship, to the consul of the nation to which she belongs.

In order to establish uniformity, and to prevent the uncertainty and confusion which a multiplicity of Buoys of various forms might occasion, when their utility becomes apparent, and to make ESPECIAL RECOGNITION OF THESE UNDOUBTED, MR. JOHN GRESHAM, J. P. and Alderman of Hull, has Patented his Invention, and has arranged with the old-established Firm of

ENGINES purchased for Steam Ploughing can also be used for any other operation the Farmer may wish. They are all made to move themselves by Steam from field to field, or place to place, requiring but one or two horses in the shafts to steer them.

The Engine can be used for Thrashing without taking the Ploughing Tackle off, not requiring more than three or four horses to take it from place to place.

These Engines are very useful for Pile Driving or Drawing Ballast up inclined planes; at the same time they can be used for Pumping. Farmers will find them most useful for all purposes.

T. SUFFIELD AND CO.

Call the particular attention of

SHIP-OWNERS, SHIP-BUILDERS, AND COMMANDERS OF STEAM AND SAILING VESSELS, to the Simple and Efficient Arrangements of their

PATENT PUMPS AND FIRE-ENGINES,

Both Fixed and Portable, with PATENT VALVES and other Improvements.

These Pumps are free from that liability to choke which is common to other Pumps, and their Working Parts are not susceptible of derangement either from wear or from being long out of use. They pass entirely through them, with ease, any substance that may enter the Suction Pipes. The Novelties in these Pumps are their adaptation to the varied duties of Ships' Pumps, the facilities they afford for Cleansing the Suction Pipes, and for Sounding or Examining the Valves; the readiness with which they may be used for Ventilating the Bilge, or for acting as a Syphon either for Watering the Ship, or for extinguishing Accidental Fires on board: the rapidity with which they can be converted into Fire Pumps, or be applied to the Washing of Decks; and their capability of Pumping from Several Compartments. Also, to their

MARINE ENGINE-ROOM TELEGRAPHS,

Which excelled all others in the recent series of Trials in Her Majesty's Navy at Sheerness. These invaluable instruments have been supplied and sent to almost all parts of the world, and in no case has there been any complaint of their working. Testimonials, bearing uniform evidence of the complete success of these Telegraphs, may be had upon application.
