The conveni ence of a small poultry-yard, two or throe pigs, with a breed i Bg e sow, and a cow fur cream, milk, butter, and cheese, in an En ' country-house, appears indispensable; and to point out bow t may be obtained at a reasonable expense seems to have been Mr. Moebray's object.

The Nobility and Ladies and Gentlemen of Great Britain are' respectfully informed, that JOHN OLDRIDGE has discovered, by the power of Chemistry, the grand desideratum of PRE- V EN . f NG HAIR from FALLING OFF, in forty-eight hours from its tint application. It has proved its ability to restore a full Head of Hair on those who were bald at twenty years of age, in the short space of thirteen weeks; on those who were older it was longer in effecting the change in proportion to the age. Any per may rest assured (provided they do not wear a wig) that this helm will restore a covering of Hair in a short time, if it be regu larly used. The young Hair always appears on the part that was hall in the course of twenty-one days. Though the person who uses it be ever so old, by applying it occasionally it will prevent the Hair from falling toff. So highly efficacious has it proved in America, that R. Wharton, Esq., the mayor, and Lewis D. De bit, Prothonotary of the Common Pleas in Philadelphia, have certified, that it is not only a preventive against the falling off of the Hair, but alma a certain restorative. C. and A, OLDRIDQb are well aware, that many fr au d u l ent and deceptive nostrums have been imposed on the public, and therefore prejudice will be severe here against the discovery, until trial shall convince their patrons that such a thing exists in nature as a capillary restorative. The public may rest assured that it assists nature, and is perfectly harmless. fold at their Establishments, No. 3M, Strand, between the Eng. liah Opera House and Exeter 'Change, and nearly opposite Wate r , lon Bndge; and at No. 12, Church-street; Bighley, Yorkshire; and ma be bad of all respectable Perfumers in this city, and S ta . tioners In the country, where certificates may be seen, none being authorised to vend it but those who can show them; price Gs. per Bottle, containing ais ounces; and double the quantity, in one Bottle, 114.

Consisting of Seven Plates, including a Vignette Title Page to bind with the volume,. exquisitely cngrartd on atce from Resigns by Richard Weltsl l , kaq., RAIL-WAYS. In calculations respecting the power of a horse exerted in different modes, errors often arise from considering this power as a constant quantity, which it is not. At a dead pull an ordinary horse exerts a force of traction equal to 150 pounds ; this is reduced to less than one-half when he travels four miles an hour; to one-ninth part when he travels eight miles an hour; and at twelve miles an hour his whole strength is expended in carrying forward his own body, and his power of traction ceases. It is sa here that the horse performs pretty long journeys. P ;1 11 1: 6 n . travelling very short stages, he may exert a force consider ably greater, and his power of traction may perhaps cease only at a velocity of 13 or 16 miles an hour. Hut in com mon cases a velocity of 12 miles may be taken as the max imum ; and, for the convenience of calculation, the dead pull may be taken st 144 pounds. Adopting then, Pro fessor Leslie's rule, the force of traction at any degree of velocity (a) will be=(l2—v)2. Thus, the force exerted. at two miles an hour, will be 100 potnds ; at four 64 pounds • at six miles, 36 pounds ; at eight miles, 1u pounds; and at ten miles, only four pounds. Steam-engine makers assume a horse-power to be equal to a weight of 180 or 200 pounds, but this is to be considered merely as an arbitrary and conventional standard, adopted for a par ticular purpose. It is necessary to keep this general con clusion in view, when we speak of the application of horse-power to the traction of loaded waggons and vessels. The resistance to the motion of a vessel in the sea or a canal, is of an extremely different kind from that which a carriage of any kind experiences upon a common road or railway. In the former case it arises from the pressure ct the water on the bow and sides of the vessel ; in the la to from the friction of the axle in its box, and that of the rm. of the wheel on the gravel or iron rail. The motion of the body in both cases is resisted also by the air ; but tbis resistance, which is small in amount, generally speaking, we shall throw entirely out of view in the first instance, order to simplify our calculations. On a well-made road a horse will draw a load of 1 ton, in a cart weighing 7 cwt., at the rate of two miles an hour. (Leslie's Elements, p. 233). The whole strenvb of the horse is exerted in overcoming the friction. On such a road, therefore, a forge of traction of 100 pounds moves a weight of 3,000 pounds, or the friction is 140th part of the load (the cart included). On a railway of the best construction, it has been shown In a former paper that a horse, travelling at the same rate of two miles an hour, draws 15 tons, including the vehicles. In this case, then, a power of traction of 1141 pounds moves a weight of 33,600 pounds: the friction, cf course, is 1.336 th part, or, in round numbers, 1-300th part of the load. On a canal, a horse travelling at two miles an hour draws SO tons, in a boat weighing probab'y IS tons.• Redwine the ton to 2000 pounds, for the sake of round numbers, as in the last calculation, we find here that a power of tractiw.i of 100 pounds moves a mass of 90,000 pounds, or the re sistance which the water opposes to the motion of the vessel is equal to 1-900th part of the load or entire weight. At sea, where the water-way is of unlimited breadth, the resistance is probably one-third less ; but, as a compensa tion for this, when steam power is employed, there is pro bably a loss of one-third, in consequence of the disadvan-: tageous mode of its application. We see, then, that the effect produced by the draught of a single horse is ten times es great upon a railway, and thirty times as great upon a canal as ripen a well-made road. Yet a railway costs only about three times as touch as a good turnpike rosdt, and a canal about nine er ten times: and the expense of keeping the railway and camel in repair is probably less in proportion to the original cut lay than in the case of a road. It is ohi ions, then, that were railways to come into general use, two-thirds, more of the expense of transporting commodities would saved. With regard to the comparative advantages of cum's and railways, so far as the present fa:ta go, we may otr serve, that if a horse power effects three times as much upon a canal ar upon a rail-way, the canal costs about three times as much, and will, of course, require nearly Use same rates or dues per tun to make the capital yiebl she same interest. • Boats in some eases carry only 15 or 20 tons ; in others 36 (as the coal boats on the Union Canal); but in the one ease they tam. yel quicker, and in the others slower, than the rate mentioned. t In Mr. Telford's estimates for .portions of new road between Edinburgh and %V °oiler, we tird the expense to be from 1000:. 110 W. per mile, including the price of the grounds.
