PATENT J;;WEABLE AXLE.

A pamphlet has just been published by Mr,
ACKIIIISIANN, of the Strand, explanatory of the
Priuciples of the Patent &loveable Axle for Cur.
riages, of which he is the Patentee. We have had
of late pamphlets written for the improvement at
the Newtonian Philosophy—we have had others, not
disputing, but contrii.;itig for particular inventions;
but this is the first pamphlet we have seen-whirls is
written fur the express purpose of proving the valuer
of oil invention, which. upon every principle of
met:Lilacs, demonstrates its man utility. Early in
toe season we noticed the prculiar simplicity of the
construction of these carriages in the Park. We
pointed out the great advantage of their short turnip
the option of building thou fifteen or Tightens
inches shorter than on the old plan, their high,rr
fore-wheels, which diminished the draught, tiiv.r
superior security ag Mist bring overturned, the
durability of their axles, rand iiicreased security of
the perch-bolt. Three improvements are dht 01,1 y
remarkable fur the superior ease and elegance of
the carriages built on this plan, but for the great
economy tf the constructeon in point of •exiiionse,
and the applicability of the patent movetbre axle
to old as well us new carriages. This invention, it
appear. by Mr. AcKenagaaa's statement, and the
documents appended to it, has been adopied by the
most respectable cosichtnakeis in the metropolis.
but it seems it has hero opposed by others of the
trade. The Patentee is very indignant at-this op-
position, as if it %ere a matter of course that the
evident utility of :In invention roomed iM f Viral-rite
