STEAM CARRIAGES ON TURN-

PIKE ROADS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
RESPECTED FRIEND,—It iS with much pleasure
that I am enabled to communicate the result of a
careful examination of the subject above alluded to,
in conjunction with a thoroughly practical engineer,
well acquainted with the principle of steam, and in
particular with the working of the Cornish engines,
that in our opinion there is now no doubt finally
of the most complete success of Sir James
Anderson's steam carriage for turnpike-roads, and
that the public will shortly have the opportunity of
being conveyed with great ease, and with perfect
safety, at the speed of from ten to twelve miles per
hour, at the average of not exceeding one penny per
mile, and yet afford a large profit to the proprietors,
thus doing away with the necessity of trunk rail-
way companies making costly and profitless branches.
—Yours, respectfully, THOS. MOTLEY, C.E.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—Having made a discovery in the sciences
which I consider to be of the greatest importance to
mankind, and feeling certain of its reality and im-
portance, I desire to make it public. And I beg,
Sir, you will be instrumental in my so doing by in-
serting my letter in your valuable paper, by which
means it will meet the eye of some of the friends of
science, who, if they will communicate with me and
fix their own opportunity, I shall be prepared to
demonstrate, by irrevocable proofs, the universal
system—the two extremes—infinity—causes primitive
of the difference of the sexes—of mirage—of eleetri
city—heat—light magnetism the nature and
formation of the celestial bodies—principle of life—
cause of cholera; in fact, I shall give solutions to all
phenomena which until now was considered the mys-
tery of science.
I beg to state that the above explanations will be
given in the French language,, and not to any one
individual, but to several together. .
I have the honour to remain, Sir, &c.,
