ROADS, WHEELS. AND HORSES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MIMI PEW.

Sea—l see M►. Protherne is drawing the attention of Par-
liament to the above loogneelected subjects ; here is none
of greeter emu ream. I venters to affirm, that if we were
to legislate oh ioeipio, and as on another question take all
the brevities of it, we might save t►ousand. ■nnnally, pro-
cure awn at one-third its present coat, and sere that noble
animal the horse sofferines that really want a name. I
Fame the other night by the mail from Exeter, and
over Bartell Heath one lung whip was not enough In ha-
rem four line creatures to death, but • short one most be
used to torment the wheel horses to such an excels, that the
poor enslaves were obliged to run with their heads between
the pole-piece, to save thews from their ravage driver. My
remonstrative. were only answered by impertinent hints that
I knew nothing of driving (though I hate driven myself
with a pair of horses swirly twenty years), soil that " They
must keep fkeir Moo." Now, Sir, I bold that Bsgsbut
Heath itself (not le say a word bow mach better our
cribbed and tortured fellow-ereateres, eipe•aively trews.
ported, might be employed there, or in cultivating Dart-
moor, or grabbing up old stumps in Madam. Epping, or
the New Portal, and planting others; or in exploring the
bowels of the earth, or In cultiveting the Admits% or ern-
derieg the pavenx•ta of this town passable; or Arty other
things one might suggest) may he reordered good truly
by the witenc. That they shueld be crtgenens, every
body loms, wide In proportion to the weights. Then
Mr. Protherce may remit hie immured overcharge on
the weights instead of Wows. The heavier the weights,
the More the roads would be rolled, and the oftener
the wheels go trier them the better. But again ; let the
sales of diffeiest carriages be of different widths by all
means ; and let every wheelwright make each hay-cares
axle half an inch wider than Ow last, with a latitude of six
or eight inches, then beck again ; no two carts could then
follow in each other's track ; and hegi•niagst Midsummer,
ruts you'd Ire abolished fur ever ; the reads world be always
in order; one-half or ear-fourth the iturither of buries world
do the work; she ferriage, would last tire times as long;
the arable land, sow coosnmed in Ow growth ef nate, beans,
hay, clover, tares. &c. would Ire used for wheat, and the
Agricultural Pelitiosters gratified as well we the public;
plenty would once more smile ow the lead, and peace be no
brume unaccompanied by her fairest comparison. The
hills sherd., have • granite railway on the near side for
the wheels to roll on, and two horses wieeld be a match
fur any of them.
Excuse this hasty but well-meant sketch of a picture my
time does eat permit me to fini►h more completely at pre-
tent. Should you wish it on a future day, I world try, for
the sake of that noble creature, whose safferines we occasion
by our neglect and want of common serve, to word yes more
detailed particulars. Yours, &c.

In addition to the very luminous opinions, and instances
