His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe
Weimar, attended by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar
and Count Reust, honoured the Royal Polytechnic In-
articularl
sr it ution yesterday with his presence. His Royal High.
ness expressed himself highly gratified with the nume-
rous scientific wonders exhibited in the museum of the
establishment, t, y Mackintosh's engine
and a model more p
which has been lately deposited here, called
Claasen's safety railroad, which, consisting of an addi-
tional rail (termed the guide rail), being placed in the
centre of the line and elevated nine or twelve inches
above the train rails. This rail being formed of wood
or metal; under each carriage is placed two sets of guide
wheels, each set consists of one horizontal and two ver-
tical wheels, so arranged that the horizontal wheel shall
come within a very short distance of the upper part, while
the verticle, which comes touch either aide of the guide rail,
none of them, however,
bing so long as everything
remains in perfect order; ut no sooner has the carriage
a tendency to run off the line than the vertical wheels
comes in contact with the sides of the guide rail and
keep it down in its position; or should an axletree break,
a wheel become displaced, or a rail removed so that the
carriage has a tendency to drop, as it were, from its po-
iition, the horizontal wheel then comes in contact with
the upper part of the guide rail and carries it on in per-
fect
safety. It is even shown by the model that two rails
may be removed opposite the other, and still the truck
willha t proceed in perfect safety ; this is a test, however,
we may say it would never be subject to in practice.
FRENCH pEks.—Some arrivals of peas have taken
place from France, which, as a raw vegetable, are free of
duty, and arriving at this early period, before the home crop
t
has become sufficiently abundant to be very cheap, have no
doubt met with a ready market, and have well answered the
expectations of the importers. The steamer Columbine,
from Havre, brought 141 baskets of the article, and the James
Watt, from the same port, 157 baskets, the produce of France.
Other arrivals have also taken place, but there have been
none, that we are aware of, from Holland, or any other of the
Foreign States, so that, in this particular, our near neighbour,
France, is first in the market. They are not considered so
good as the peas grown in this country, particularly in the
famous market gardens in the neighbourhood of the metro-
poli., but they are of very excellent quality, and at the same
time that they command a fair, and, no doubt, a remunerative
price, assist in bringing the vegetable into general consump-
tion at an earlier period than would otherwise have been
the case,
