LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGES.

We cannot allow the grand and astonishing
results of the late experiments with Locomotive
Carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway to pass, without once more calling the
attention of our readers to the new prospects
which open upon us from those experiments.—
Wc have already expressed our sense of the
very interesting and important character of the
results which have been attained by the Locomo-
tive Engines : but this is a subject which ap-
pears the more important the longer and more
attentively it is considered. We had intended
to give several illustrations of the effects of this
improved mode of conveyance, but this has
already been so well done in articles.which we
have extracted from the Scotsman and the
Liverpool Times, that we need do little more than
direct the attention of our readers to those arti-
cles. In mentioning the Scotsman, we should
do to the Editor of that Paper an injustice if
we did not remind our readers of the series of
able papers which he wrote four or five years
since on the capabilities of railways, and of
which we made copious extracts in the _Hercurg.
The calculations he then made of the speed
which might be attained upon railways were
ridiculed at the time, even by the engineers;
we were always convinced of the substantial
truth of those calculations, and their accuracy
has now been fully established. Great credit is
due to the Editor for the correctness with
which he made his calculations, and the bold-
ness with which he followed them up to their
results—grand and surprising as those results
were.

There is scarcely any more important means
of advancing and perfecting the civilization of a
country, than by a good system of internal com-
munication. The greater the facility of travel-
ling from place to place, the more active will be
the social and commercial intercourse ; and the
more ready the transmission of all the fruits of
the earth and all the products of manufactures,
the more rapid the communication of improve-
ments and inventions, and the more complete
the dissemination of knowledge. Time is money
in all operations requiring labour, and therefore a
saving of time will be a saving of money. In
every country there are tracts and situations
which would be highly valuable but for their
distance from towns and the more populous dis-
tricts ; by easy and quick modes of conveyance
this disadvantage is overcome, and the most may
be made of all the natural capabilities of the
country. To a manufacturing country especially
good communications are important : the supply
of the raw material, and of the various commo-
dities necessary to the manufacture, is more
quickly and cheaply obtained, and the goods are
more quickly and cheaply sent to the home or
foreign market. If railway conveyances should
be extensively adopted in this country, we have
no doubt that our manufacturers will derive im-
portant benefit from it in their competition with
their foreign rivals ; their superiority will be
still more decided than it is now, in the great
branches of the cotton, the woollen, the linen,
the silk, tire hardware, the cutlery, a►►d the
earthenware manufacturers. The mere saving of
time and money by the accelerated and cheap-
ened conveyance will make the difference of
more than a profit on the goods.
To the landowners the advantage will, if pos-
sible, be still greater—at least to those whose

lands lie near the railways. The trifling expellee
at which they will be able to send their produce
to market, and to obtain manure, lime, &c., in re-
turn, will enable them to .dispense with the Con,
Laws ; whilst the land in the neighbourhood of
the railways will become of great value for build-
ing purposes. The merchants of Liverpool
may now build their houses in the beautiful tract
lying betwen Prescot and Woolton, or indeed
half way to Manchester, far out of the reach of
smoke, and yet run down to their counting-
houses in a quarter or half an hour after rising
from the breakfast-table. For social purposes
Liverpool and Manchester will be joined, and it
will shortly be common for dinner parties in
those towns to be composed indiscriminately of
brokers and manufacturers, shippers and spinners.
It requires no great stretch of imagination to
suppose that the ladies of Manchester will ere
long begin to make morning calls on their friends
in Liverpool, and vice versa.

It see-ins highly probable that in a'short time
we shall travel on railways with ease at the speed
of thirty miles per hour, and it is difficult for
the imagination to foresee how great will be the
changes produced by such a rate of conveyance.
utp will, of course, be required to establish
railways on the great lines of communication,
and the utmost care should be taken to construct
them on the best principles ; but the success of
the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and of
the locomotive carriages upon it, renders it
certain that this mode of conveyance will become
general, and that the advantages which attend
it will be realized to the community.—Leeds
