Cumberland Times & Western Advertiser, Saturday, January 17, 1846 - page 3 METROPOLITAN BONE MILL. - During our recent visit to Sydney, we had a view of Mr. Wilson's Bone Mill, for the manufacture of bone manure, for the use of our farmers and gardeners, and we shall make an attempt at a description of the machinery : - The motion is communicated from the steam engine by a shaft opposite to the fly-wheel shaft to a cog-wheel by a pinion, and from then to the rollers, by which the bones are ground, and then sifted by machinery with the different sizes that may be required, either for horticultural or agricultural purposes. Mr. Wilson is now busily employed making up shipments for England ; he has also sent supplies of bone manure to Hobart Town, Launceston, and Port Adelaide, and to every district in New South Wales, and we hope that a speculation which is capable of being the greatest benefit to this country may prove of advantage to himself. The best thing that we can wish Mr. Wilson is, that he may have such employment in grinding bones for home consumptio! n, that he may not be able to grind enough to supply the demand which may be required by ourselves. The season for sowing turnips for a crop is now arriving, and we beg to suggest that every one who has it in his power, to give the bone-dust a trial, and we are sure they will not be disappointed. Mr. Wilson intends to make a Compost similar to Eusor's celebrated Compost, by way of experiment. THEATRICAL. - Nesbett has lately been "starring" at the Victoria to full houses. On Thursday Pizarro was produced with great success. Nesbett, Arabin, Hambleton, Stirling and O'Flaherty taking the principal characters ; Griffith enacted Orozembo, and by his admirable acting, raised an inferior character into importance. The house was crowded, and greeted both Nesbet and Griffith with acclamation. Collins was the only drawback to the piece ; he looked and acted like a "gin palace" monarch.
