the new Swan Inn at Bedford was his work; and many new and excellent farm and other houses and buildings on the estate, some of them of pix; besides which, Mr. S. was not uncommonly consulted, and gave designs to the neighbouring gentry, for the alteration or rebuilding of their mansions, or he was called in by them to value and arbitrate in disputed matters, relative to buildings or machinery. In the taking down of Houghton House, near to Ampthill, wherein the late and present Dukes were born, Mr. Salmon found, concealed behind a very old wainscoting of one of the rooms, some very curious large paintings, on the plaster of the walls; these he felt a desire to preserve, and contrived, by first glueing a strong canvas on to their fronts, and then sawing off the plaster entire from the walls, and after cleaning off this plaster, to obtain the painting in a state, in which its back could be cemented by drying oils, on to a prepared canvas, as perfectly and as durable as if originally painted thereon: after which, water was used to detach the glue of the first canvas, and the second canvas being stretched and framed, exhibited these paintings perfectly transferred. The printed transactions of the Society of Arts, preserves a full detail of these processes, and of others in which Mr. Salmon succeeded, in transferring paintings from old and worm-eaten boards, to new

canvas.

Venetian window blinds, outside, which are so apt to receive injury from the wind, and at the same time yield a disagreeable noise, received great improvements in these respects from Mr. Salmon's ingenuity.

Mr. Salmon invented, and had a patent for, a weighing machine, which exhibits the weight by the hand of a dial like that of a clock, which has been introduced on several of the turnpike roads round London and elsewhere; and prevents the frauds of machine-keepers on the carters.

Being himself unfortunately afflicted with a bad hernia, Mr. Salmon, after trial of several of the trusses most in repute, contrived a very improved self-adjusting truss, for which he took a patent (now expired), under which, in conjunction with Mr. Oddy of the Strand, immense numbers have been sold, both here and in Paris, where they had an establishment for the manufacture and sale of these trusses, which the first surgeons are in the habit of recommending.

A plunger lock, for the saving of water on canals, was invented by Mr. Salmon, of great ingenuity; and a self-regulating horse-machine, for drawing water-buckets from a deep well, were both of them rewarded by the Society of Arts.

Agriculturalists have been indebted to Mr. Salmon for a variety of useful inventions, viz.

His chaff-cutter, the knives of which, instead of being radial and curved, cutting with very different effect at the beginning and end of the stroke, are straight (as easily ground as a scythe), and pass always through the straw with the same angle and effective power; have come into extensive use.

Mr.Salmon greatly improved the hay-making machine, and had a patent for the same; he made very numerous experiments, and advanced, perhaps as near as any one since has done, towards the invention of an effective reaping machine.

He invented a lever drill for sowing corn and seeds, which is not liable to be turned out of its rectilinear course by any irregularity of the horse's motion, but is perfectly at the command of the holder of its levers or handles.

On the plough Mr. Salmon made a very extensive series of experiments, and proceeded some way in the MS. of a work intended to improve its construction, as to effectiveness and ease of draught.

On the excellent large thrashing-mill, at the Park Farm, constructed under his own directions, Mr. Salmon afterwards made numerous experiments, by an apparatus which he contrived, and has published, whereby he ascertained the quantum of power necessary for working every part of the machinery, at different speeds, separate or in their different combinations, as feeding only, thrashing only, thrashing and throwing out the straw, performing these and winnowing the corn at the same time, &c. &c.

It would too much extend this article, barely to mention the various other experimental researches in which Mr. Salmon was engaged, in the last five and twenty years of his active and useful life; suffice it to say, that at almost every one of the Woburn sheep-shearings, he produced some useful novelty or other, and frequently obtained the premiums offered by the late and present Dukes, for useful agricultural machines. The annual sessions of the Society of Arts, for several years, usually brought forth one or more of Mr. Salmon's inventions, for which he has been liberally rewarded with many pecuniary as well as honorary marks of their approbation, as the volumes of their transactions will continue to attest; and so will those of the Repository of Arts, furnish a record of the several inventions for which Mr. S. has taken patents; in Dr. Rees's Cyclopædia several of his inventions have been drawn and directed by Mr. Farey jun.

Within two or three years past, Mr. Salmon finding his health declining, had been desirous of relinquishing his duties at Woburn, to which his Grace at last reluctantly assented, and two or three months ago, his accounts having been nearly wound up, different parts of the various duties he had performed, were turned over to three young men who had long been his assistants; and Mr. S. engaged a cottage for his future residence in Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth, where he went to reside in the beginning of September last, and staid there a fortnight, when his concerns at Woburn requiring his attention, although much indisposed, he went thither, and was there taken ill, and after a confinement of ten days, in the latter part of which he suffered much from inward complaint, perhaps connected with his hernia, he died on Saturday, the 6th of

October,

October, deeply lamented by an only sister who attended him, and by a brother who also survives, by several nieces, and a large circle of friends.

His Grace was at Woburn during Mr. Salmon's illness, on account of which he manifested great anxiety, offering repeatedly to send for any medical assistance which Mr. S. or his friends might think desirable; but Mr. S. was too sensible of his approaching end, to which he was perfectly resigned, to allow this to be done. By desire of his Grace, nearly all his servants in the Woburn establishment,

followed Mr. Salmon's remains to the grave. He was interred in the same vault which, about ten years ago he provided in Woburn church-yard, to receive the remains of an affectionate wife; and which, to his inexpressible grief, had three years after been opened again to receive the body of his only child, a very promising girl. It is conjectured, that his Grace means to cause a suitable monument to be erected over the grave of this trusty and valuable servant of his noble family, and benefactor to his country and species.

The workmen employed in it had been selected as the prime, from the whole of the extensive works, and the ventilation was considered as complete as that of any mine on the river. There is a band (i. e. a stratum of stone) in the coal, and it was necessary to use candles in blasting it. At the time above-mentioned, when fifty-five persons were in the mine, an explosion of dydrogen gas took place, which killed fifty-two of them, dreadfully burnt two others, one of whom is since dead, and only one miraculously escaped unhurt. The explosion shook the ground like an earthquake. The body of one boy was blown high out of the shaft, and fell again to the bottom. By this lamentable event twenty-six widows, and between eighty aud ninety children have been deprived of their support. Forty of the sufferers were under forty years of age. One of them told his wife on the fatal morning, that he had dreamt the pit was blown up, and she affectionately entreated him not to go, but he waved her advice. The man who escaped, in the course of an hour, bravely ventured down again to the mine, to assist in bringing up his companions. An inquest was held on the bodies, and the verdict was, that "the sufferers accidentally came by their deaths by an explosion of hydrogen gas in the workings of the colliery." They were decently buried in Walls-end Church-yard, at the expense of the owners of the colliery, who presented each family with a guinea for present use, and will afford them houses, fuel, &c. as long as they may need them; but we have little doubt but the benevolence of the public will, on this occasion, step forward to alleviate the anguish of this long train of mourners.

Six men perished lately at Newbottle colliery, from inadvertently breaking down a stopping that led into an old waste, whence a suffocating gas issued.

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. The alterations on the road between Kendal and Penrith are of such a magnitude and extent as will render the passage through that mountainous district easy and accommodating. The bridge on the road betwixt Penrith and Appleby, is undergoing alterations long wanted, to raise it out of reach of the floods. Betwixt Kendal and Milnthorp,the steep hill at Sizergh Fell is now avoided. Various improvements in the roads are rapidy taking place in Westmoreland, as at or near the village of Gateside, the ascent and descent at Hollowgate, High Burrowbridge, &c. A new line of road is recommended through the vale of Petterill to Carlisle- also an improvement of Lowther Bridge, near Brougham Hall.

Actions for assault have been commenced against Major Birley, Capt. Wittlington, Mr. Alexander Oliver, and Meager, the trumpeter, for their conduct at Manchester, on the degraded 16th of August.

A number of inhabitants of Bolton and its neighbourhood have agreed to present Mr. Hunt with a white counterpane, highly worked, and bearing an apposite inscription and devices. Others intend to present him with a richly worked Marseilles quilt,

and other articles.

CHESHIRE.

The object of the plan for opening the corporation of Chester has been defeated, owing to several individuals chosen refusing to act. The old, close, self-chosen corporation seem to be confirmed in their pristine authority. The matter will, no doubt, produce an appeal to law in the Courts of 30 Westminster.

Westminster. The following is the view taken by the Chester Courant :-The new corporation should have been fully created -in all respects finished, by the formal acceptation of the individuals elected. But many individuals were elected who would not willingly accept their appointments, and who could not be compelled. As they refused, the new corporation has never been in legal existence, and the old has never been superseded. The corporation cannot die, and that by usage has a legal existence, till ousted by one with a stronger title.
