The Public generally are but very little aware of the uses to which Rail-roads are about to be applied. The following information, therefore, will, we trust, be ar. ceptable to our Readers: Hitherto rail-roads have been used for very litt:led purposes, and whenever they are spoken of, it is in con nection with coal-pits and stone-quarries; but they are now about to be applied for the purpose of conveying merchandi:'e over very extended lines of country, and thus they are becoming an object of great national in terest. Rail-roads, as hitherto worked by horses, pos. seas very little, if any advantage over canals, but rail roads Worked by the locomotive steam-engine, have so decided a superiority, both as regards time and expense, that there can be no question but they will be generally adopted wherever a new line of conveyance has become necessary, either from an increased trade, or from the exorbitant demands of canal proprietors. By the locomotive engine fifty tons of goods may be conveyed by A ten bone-power engine on a level toad at the rate of six mile! an hour, and lighter weights at a proportioned increase of speed. Carriages for the con veyance of passengers, at the rate of twelve or fourteen miles per hour. For canals it is necessary to have a dead level, but not so for rail-roads; an engine will work goods over an elevation of one-third of an inch to the yard. Where the ascent or descent is rapid, and cannot be counteracted by cuttings or embankments, recourse must be had to permanent engines and inclined planes, just as recourse is had to locks for canals; but here again the rail-road system has a great advantage the inclined plane causes no delay, while locking creates a great deal. Two Acts of Parliament have already been obtained, namely, the Stockton and Darlington Act, and the Moreton' Act. On these lines, which exceed thirty miles each, it is intended to adopt the locomotive en gine, and they will both be very soon ready for the con veyance of goods. There are also three or four other rail-roads pro. jected. Two years ago, several Gentlemen in Liver pool and Manchester subscribed to obtain a survey of a line between those two towns. It was accomplished and found practicable. From various cause* the pro sectition of the plan was delayed ; but a few months since it was undertaken with great spirit. A deputa tion from both towns was appointed to inspect the rail roads and locomotive engines of the North ; they in spected the Stockton and Darlington line, and inquired minutely into its cost ; they witnessed the engines work ing on the Helton rail-road, near Sunderland, and made a most favourable Report. The Committee immedi ately appointed Mr. George Stephenson, of Newcastle upon-Tyne, their engineer, who has since surveyed and adopted a new line. Its length is thirty-three 1.16 th miles, and the greatest ascent, or descent, is only 1-16th of an inch to the yard. The distance by the high road is thirty-six milts, and by the canals and river fifty miles. The shares appropriated to Liverpool and Man chester have all been disposed of, but the Committee have a small number placed in their hands, •to be dis tributed as they may deem proper. Application for an Act will be made next Sessioo of Parliament ; the cost is estimated at about 1300,000. Mr. Stephenson has also laid down a line between Birmingham and Li verpool, of which report speaks most favourably; and the Birmingham Committee will also go to Parliament next Session. It is intended to meet the Peak Forest and • Cromford Canal by means of a rail-road ; a rail-road is also spoken of at Stroud, and the High Sheriff of Northum berland has convened a County Meeting, to invite the expediency of establishing one between Newcastle and Carlisle. The attempt on the part of Canal Proprietor: to pre vent their adoption is utterly hopeless. The discovery of the Locomotive Engine will be almost as import. ant to the trade and commerce of this country as the discovery of the Steam Engine itself. In fact, it is only a new application of the power of the Steam Engine. A few weeks since we witnessed the Prime Minister and his coadjutors, surrounded by men distinguished for their scientific and patriotic pursuits, assembled far the purpose of voting a Monument to the memory of Mr. Watt, for the distinguished services he had conferred on his country and on mankind. Surely, then, Parliament will never refuse to permit the country to reap the full benefit of his discovery, by throwing out the Bills in tended to be applied for. Whatever Parliament may do, they cannot stop the course of kno,s•ledge and provement; the American Government has possessed itself, through its Minister, of the improved mode of constructing and working railroads, and there can be no doubt of their immediate adoption throughout that country. The writer of this article has reason to know, that there is scarcely a Government in Europe, even down to that of the enterprising Pashaw of Egypt, which is not informing itself, through its agents, on this most important subject. Monsieur Dom, the cele brated French traveller, has observed in his work on England, that though he could find monuments to the memory of statesmen, soldiers, sailors, and poets, he could find none to its greatest benefactor, Mr. Watt ; it would form an everlasting reproach to the spirit and en terprise of this country if foreigners should be the first to embrace generally the advantages which the disco very of the Locomotive Engine presents, and which, undoubtedly, we mainly owe to Mr. Watt. The following Memorial of the Liverpool and Man chester Company we submit to our readers; though it contains matter chiefly of local interest, there ale parts of it well entitled to general consideration : " To TUE WONSMITUL vat MATOIL AND COXLION COUNCIL Or Tat Bosocom or Livir.rooz., " The Memorial of the Subscribers to the projected Rail-road between Liverpool and Manchester, " Sbeweth—That the Merchants of this port have, for a long time past, experienced very great difficulties and obstructions in the prosecution of their business, in coniequence of the high charges on the freight of goods between this town and Manchester, and oldie frequent impossibility of obtaining vessels for days together. `• That the high rate of freight and the scarcity of vessels are owing to the monopolies possessed by the two existing Carrying Establishments of the Old *says and the Trustees of the late Duke of Bridgewater. . 4 That it is true that these two lines of conveyance are at all times open to any parties who nay choose to navigate them with their own vessels; but your Memorialists beg to represent, and to press upon your attention, that this is little better then a nominal A t . .
