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.
SlR,—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 electri
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.,

ROYAL HOSPITALS OF BRIDEWELL AND BETHLE-
HEM.- On Monday a general quarterly court of governors
of these hospitals was held in the great hall of Bride-
well Hospital, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars; Sir P.
Laurie (president of the institution) in the chair. The
attendance of governors was pretty numerous. The
minutes of the last court, as well as those of the inter-
mediate meetings of a general committee, were read and
duly confirmed. Mr. Josiah Wilson moved—" That the
sixteenth standing rule and order be suspended, and
that, in consideration of the long and faithful services
of Ralph Price, Esq.,
the late treasurer of these hos-
pitals, he be and he is hereby chosen an honorary mem-
ber of the general committee for conducting the of sirs
adopted.
during which was duly seconded and unani-
(lush, his life,"
Mr. Atkinson Morley, seconded by
mMr. J. Wilson, then proposed—" That the privilege of
appointing one governor annually to these hospitals be
continued to the new treasurer, provided always such
governor so appointed do pay to the funds the sum of
501., as is the custom in the other royal hospitals." Mr.
Henry Kemble moved, as an amendment to this resolu-
tion—,, That during the presidency of the preseat presi-
dent no alteration be made in the privileges of the trea-
surer." This amendment, having been seconded, was
put to the vote, and. being negatived, a show of hands
was next taken in favour of the original motion, which
was carried. by a considerable majority. After the dis-
patch of some further business of a merely routine cha-
racter, the court broke up.
