The practicability of running steam-carriages upon common
roads with a degree of rapidity far beyond the utmost speed of
horses in draught, and at from one half to a third less cost, has
long since been proved by the Report of a Committee of the House
COmmons, after a most minute asd searching inquiry. This
Opinion has since been confirmed by some of our most talented
engineers, amongst whose names will be found that of the late Mr.
Telford. Those who are acquainted with the history of the steam-
engine, from its earliest infancy down to the period when Messrs.
Bolton and Watt effected their invaluable improvements, those
who in later times have seen the obstacles which impeded steam
navigation, and are acquainted with the degree of perfection to
which it has now been brought, will not readily fallinto the error
of concluding that because the attempts to run steam-carriages
lip‘an common roads have hitherto been unsuccessful, that that
object is unattainable.
Mechanical men have long agreed that the paramount means of
ensuring, success was the constructing a boiler having such a dispo-
sition of its parts as would rapidly produce the most dense steam,
combined with such strength as permanently to resist the utmost
internal pressure, and all possible external collision, whilst the ma-
chinery should be so arranged as that the concussions and agita-
tons of the common roads should not operate upon it prejudicially.
Sir James C. Anderson, Bart., after many years of study and
perrvering application, has succeeded in perfecting a boiler pos-
sessing invaluable properties ; and has also devised a simple
to
th eetive arrangement of the machinery for applying its power
„ e opulsion of carriages.
on
t. e-eel ng confident that the difficulties which prevented the adop-
i of this most important improvement in our internal communi-
cation have at length been overcome, the Directors of the Steam
Carriage Company have made arrangements by which the Com-
pany will possess the exclusive right of using Sir braes C. Ander-
son's Patent Steam Carriage upon common roads, as also the boiler
for all locomotive purposes in England.
A, carriage is nearly completed, and will be speedily submitted to
sum proof as the Directors may require, and will be kept in repair
for twelve months free of expense to the Comp . •
The boilers of all the carriages will be insintaainnved in good repair
for the first twelve months at the sole cost of the Patentees, who
seek no payment or remuneration until the first carriage shall have
been proved to the full satisfaction of the Directors. The Patentees
will keep in repair, at a certain mileage, any number of carriages
which may be required by the Company ; thus determining the
amount of expenditure, and reducing the profits to a certainty.
No capital need be sunk beyond the cost of each steam-drag and
carriage, as they may be required; and as each gets into work, an
immediate return will be made upon the capital invested.
As a profitable investment for capital there is not the slightest
doubt that this undertaking offers much greater advantages than any
that has been brought before the public for many years.
So far as regards the probability of this mode of conveyance ob-
taining the patronage of the public, it should be observed that the
following causes will operate to bring it into use,
The preference now given to canals and waggons for theotrlrr of
trans-
port of goods shows the appreciation by the commer law
cheapness in comparison with speed, but by this mode of conveyance
cheapness and speed will be united.
Passengers or goods destined for the towns established on the
turnpike roads will derive considerable advantages
carriages passing through them, thereby, o tar as regards those
roads which come in competition with lines of railways, compen-
sating for the difference of speed by avoiding the inconvenience of
getting from the stations on the railways to the places of destination.
It is very probable that railways be limited to a certain num-
ber Gf grand lines, the vast cost of laying down railroads rendering
a profitable return doubtful except in cases where the traffic is very
great
Supposing that railroads should be laid down upon all the main
lines, and found to answer the object intended, the steam-carriages
will be invaluable adjuncts, as supplying the place of railroads from
the places lying between the railwaystd iliinuess.forming tributary streams
fpassengers and goods to the
Passeners and goods can be cgoranatny eyed by these carriages at double
half the expense, and at the same

Decrease of expense will, therefore, it may be fairly presumed,
