Yesterday the steam-carriage constructed by Messrs.
Dietz and Harmann was inspected by the Jury of the exhibi-
tion of French manufactures. This locomotive machine,
having a thirty-horse power, set out from the Faubourg St.
Antoine, drawing after it two omnibuses, in which were up-
wards of 60 passengers. As it went along the Boulevards,
the crowds, whom its appearance drew to the spot, cheered
as it passed. After running up and down the Champs Elysees
several times, the steam-carriage took the road to Neuilly,
where it was inspected by his Majesty, who, after expressing
his satisfaction, desired that the constructors, Messrs. Dietz
and Hermann, should be presented to him, and ordered 300 f.
to be given to the workmen, who were perched upon the roofs
of the machine and the omnibuses. The steam-carriage then
returned to the Faubourg St. Antoine, without any accident
or interruption.—French Paper.
A steam-carriage, on a new construction, invented
and built by Messrs. Yates and Smith, engineers, Colchester-
street, Whitechapel, came out, on its first trial, last Tuesday
evening ; and, considering the imperfections to which all new
and untried machinery is subject, it appeared to work very
well. It travelled along High-street, Whitechapel, at about
ten or twelve miles an hour. It is intended for the Brighton
road.

The mercantile accounts received yesterday
.from
St. Petersburgh furnish the following particulars relative to
the trade of that port since the navigation became open. The

151 were British, 20 American, and 411 foreigners. The
total number that had arrived up to the corresponding period
of last year was 374, of which 156 were British, 17 American,
and 210 foreign. There had sailed, since the present season

and 179 foreigners. Up to the same period of last year 115
