NOVIL MODE OP GUN CARRIAGE.—One of the
patent traction angina, or, as they are termed by the in-
ventor, " Maim hcraes," manufactured by Mr. Cheeks
Burrell, of Thetford, in Norfolk., wee a few days ego tested
over the sandy and uneven thoroughfares lauding to nor
stead-oommee, and was freighted with one of the 96 cwt.
guns attached to • gun-carriage, together With • train el
waggons, Er. It is intended to work mettoesimily en
common reeds sad for agricultural purposes, or where no
roads exist ; and It ia sainted that the engine sad railway
are capable of overcoming ddlladties which ore amount
of horee-power can possibly accomplish. The engine left
Woolwich on Wednesday under its own steam, and pro-
ceeded from the Royal Aral to the Niee-elms Railway
station for coaveyance, vie Southampton, to Cairo. It
was manufactured by order of Colonel Tolloh and Mr.
Anderson of the war deportment, at the request
of the Egyptien government, and was supplied with
Its entire scamories—namely, the tender capable of
containing a supply of water and ooale for a days work,
waggons, &e, together with • gee earthier The new
englue is on the principle of Boyden's patent, se employed
In Woolwich Arsenal, and is Stied with various alterations
end additions, tavented end patented by the manufacturer,
such as an improved method of attaching the artless rail-
way to the wheels by the instrument by which the rail is
lifted passing through the wheel irslead of at the aide, so
that the sadder railway is balanced while being tarried round
on the wheel, by which means tte friction and wear aid
tear are said to be considerably diminiahad. The patent
wheals ere also of a new constraction, beteg composed Of
wrought iron welded together, and are procouneed far supe-
rior to the wooden ones first introdaced, end which in warn
climate are liable to be speedily destroyed by the red sate
and other vermin. The rails and weenng parte are of steel,
and the unwieldy appearance which the endless railway
formerly gave to the engine, and which was the terror of
I orme and other animals on the road, is, under the present
Invention, ingeniously concesled by compact and light-
looking covers. A second engine of a similar description
la ordered to be constructed for India, at the request of the
War Department.
