STEAM COACHES ON COMMON

ROADS.

On Monday afternoon a steam coach, belonging to
Mr. Hills, proprietor of the Chemical Works at Dept-
ford, and which has for some time past been running on
the Kentish roads, took a trip to Seven Oaks. The
steam coach in question is 16 feet in length, weighs
about four tons, and has two engines, each of six-horse
power. 'The cylinders are 10 inches in diameter, with
18 inches stroke, and the engine works at between
601bs. and 701bs. to the square inch. At thirty-one mi-
nutes after one o'clock the steam was announced to be
" up," and Mr. Hills, who manaved the machine, pro-
ceeded to thread the mazy ins and outs which lead from
his factory to the Deptford main road, stopping, start-
ing, and guiding the vehicle with great precision and
facility. In consequence of the numerous vehicles pass-
ing to and fro, the rate was necessarily very slow until
the coach passed the Eltham-road (a little beyond the
five mile stone), which it did at seventeen minutes
before two o'clock, when the steam was put on, and the
rate increased to about fifteen miles per hour. At
Bromley Common and the Polhill Arms, who.. "r.
Hills has stations, water was taken a
about two minutes being stoppage of
in
...ae at each place, and at
eight minutes past- A'
. .aree o'clock the coach arrived at
iSnevoenA.Oaks
, making the journey, about twenty miles,
j hour and thirty-seven minutes, stoppages in-
ciuded. At seventeen minutes after three o'clock the
coach started on its return for Mr. factory at
Deptford, which it reached at twelve
.minutes be-
fore five o'clock, making the return journey in one
hour and thirty-one minutes. This line of toad,
it will be recollected, presents many vary heavy
hills, some of which have, it Is stated, a rise of one
foot in ten. In ascending these hills, which it did at
the rate of from six to twelve miles per hour, the
coach came thrice to a dead stop. The first of these
stoppages took place at the short but sharp ascent
which commences immediately after leaving Greenwieli,
hill for Lewisham, the second in ascending Seven Oaks-
hill, and the third (in returning) at the abrupt ascent
which presents itself at the diverging of the Lewisham.
road towards Greenwich-hill. Neither of the stop-
pages exceeded two minutes, and they were stated to
have been occasioned by the imperfect working of one
of the pumps, and the consequent insufficiency of water,
in the boiler. The speed war, on some portions of the
level road, upwards of 21 miles per hour, and the only
apparent difficulty was where the ascents presented a
loose sandy soil. The consumption of coke is a ton
per 100 miles, and the cost of a steam-coach of this de-
cription was stated to be 8001.

The farmers round Paris are busily engaged in
digging up their potatoe crops. The roots are said to
be extraordinarily large and abundant.
