THE ROYAL 67A IV num; PliAll-TON.

In no particular branch of trade has improve-
ment ware coos]. icuously shown itself than in car-
riage building. Vehicles now, iustead of being
massive an 1 lumbering, to please the taste of
those for whose convenience they are constructed,
must be light, dnr.b!e, and elegant, and
nothing has yet proc..!edel from any of the
manufactories of the most eminent coachwakets that
can he compared to the elegant Royal Stanhope
Phaeton which is just now attracting the aristocracy
,o the errabli.htuent of Mr. Hart, of No. 79,
New Bond-street. The Stanhope phaotou is
constructed altogether on a new principle :
all the old and inconvenient points have
been removed, and in their place improve-
ments and re-arrangements have been made which
render the new " T-cart" of the Royal Stanhope
Phaeton one of the most dashing, light, and roomy
vehicles that has ever entered. Hyde-park, a spot cele-
brated for the eleganceof equipages seen therein dur-
ing the London season. The improvements that will
at once attract attention are the wheels, which in
place of being made of the u,ual style and pattern
are constructed of hickory, with steel-coated iron
tires, which is, in fact, lightness and strength com-
bined. 'I he ironwork is so cleverly constructed as to
possess strength just at the place at which
it is required instead of the large and un-
sightly arrangement which now so generally
exists. The springs are of finely tempered steel,
but one inch wide, and mounted on patent steel-
coated iron axles. The objectionable " perch" has
been removed, and thereby a most valuable im-
provement has been obtained, as the carriage, in-
stead of " locking" only half-way, now locks
entirely round, an advantage that will be
highly appreciated and approved of, as the facilities
for turning is one of the most important matters in
carriage building. Whilst Mr. Hart's new phaeton
is so peculiarly elegant and easy, it is ad-
mirably adapted for billy country use, whilst
for common and ordinary purposes it seems
to be the best constructed carriage yet offered
for public approval. With respect to weight, an
important consideration, which has killed many a
valuable horse, the Stanhope phaeton is three cwt.
lighter than the ordinary phaeton, possessing at the
same time the usual number of seats, so that light-
ness has not been obtained by the Sacrifice of space.
Another great advantage is that the new Royal
Registered Stanhope in weight comes within
Mr. Lowe's new Act, of 4 cwt. Having said
so much for the new vehicle, we have
scarcely room to mention the other elegant
equipages that are to be seen at Mr. Hart's esta-
blishment, but we cannot omit to direct the visi-
tor's attention to the miniature winter landau,
which is a most luxurious carriage, the light and
pretty miniature brougham, the dashing barouche
aud waggonette, which is easily convertible into a
Royal Stanhope Pheaton. To those curious in car-
riage; a visit to Mr. Hart's establishment, in New
Bond-street, will be a source of great interest.
