ECONOMY IN CARRIAGE BUILDING.—A very unique
description of Brougham has just been peifeeted by Walker,
Brothers, carriage builders, White Lion-street, Norton Fol-
gate, which promises to attract attention•flom the novelty of
its construction and the principle of economy introduced.
The vehicle, which is in every respect the size of the ordi-
nary Brougham, can be rendered double or single; that is,
to hold tOur or two persons, according to the desire of the
owner, and in so ready and facile a manner, that not the
least difficulty is experienced in making the change. Like
all similar inventions, its extreme simplicity stamps its uti-
lity, and to the medical, legal, and other professions, its con-
venience will prove a great recommendation. The improve-
ment is protected by the law, and the necessary steps have
been adopted to secure it a place in the Great Exhibition.
