" The advantages of tne system ate so-im mense, and of so much national importance, thic we cannot but cokratulate the Pliblic on there sult of this first, practical application of Mr.Cl.ty'll Invention, principally that of operating, in com bination, with other machines, by a stupeodous roller, that can be loaded to almost any weight, and by means of which we have seen on one day a road raised two feet, and on the next, after hav ing been just subjected to the operation of the machines, exhibiting all that solidity and smooth isess hitherto peculiar to the best roads, and in•, their state of greatest, perfecticni. • " The thanks of the Pohlic are emineriq doe to the Commissioners Of the Leeds and Wakefield *road, for having so judiciously perceived the ea t cellency of Mr. Clay's mode, and for having 'so promptly enabled OW gentleman to lint the. counts try in 'possession of -its advantages. The . tffect seems almost that of magic. The roads are at once:tendered smooth, hard, and even; and _what is most importaot, by the regular application of the mathines, they must alway.s remain so. , A narrow-wheeled waggon apparen ly makes not the slightest impreSsion, but passes over lire impenee trable•surface or the road as if upon marble..-1. The system eminently cooduces• to Safety, as 'welt pis to beauty and duraniloy, for it-is- impossible that anYloose stones or other material can exist upon the surface. All is reduced into one loos movable mass, by the ponderous roller, %Oriels either forces the largest4tones into their_ bedi•ot r e a.to, • • • -.

The toad now under iiper• ration was the vv.,rst in this neighbourhood, hod - perhaps - one of, the worst in the king lore. One of the worst pars of this wretched road lay be tween Leetls and the further extretuit y tit the - township' of Iliii let., lir the. conrse of • a few days it has heel' rendered.the best i and though hundreds of coal and .otrer narrow-wheeled Carta and carriages have daily passed over-it, they have made no perceptible inspt4ssion on Mr. Clay's work. But Mr. Clay widens -and levels thsi road, at the same time that he comumnicates to it smoothness and durability. ,Not an inch of•the original width is Snikred to•le useless ; and every part of the road is rendered equally good. -At Hunslet, the iinprovement,• in these respects, and by the removal of nuisances, is veil peat. That part of the road ascending the 'hill to Roth welt Haigh has been new-formed; and widened, by the removal of loose material and. litter, -apparently ••about one-third. Proceeding on towards Wake field, we were glad to observe that - the COntrue., tor was lowering the hill at Newton, and that-by . removing the late miserable material, he is widen - Jug the road not less, as we estimate, than front nine to twelve . feet throughout the village: In short, • every species of nuisance and • obstruction is ra pidly disappearing from the whole- line of the road, The proprietors on its course, perceiving. .the greatness of the advantages, have most cor dtally with Mr. Cloy, in giving every facility to widening, by Ehe liberal sacrifice of such portions of their land as stood in the way of improvement. • " After what we have- seen effected by the 'roller, we think it might be most beneficially ap.., plied to paved streets, itmnediately after the phtie meta has been laid, or Willie it is loose, after the breaking up of frost.
