RAIL-ROADS AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES.
The Public generally are but very little aware of the
uses to which Rail-roads are about to be applied. The
following information, therefore, will, we trust, be ar.
ceptable to our Readers:
Hitherto rail-roads have been used for very litt:led
purposes, and whenever they are spoken of, it is in con-
nection with coal-pits and stone-quarries; but they are
now about to be applied for the purpose of conveying
merchandi:'e over very extended lines of country, and
thus they are becoming an object of great national in-
terest. Rail-roads, as hitherto worked by horses, pos.
seas very little, if any advantage over canals, but rail-
roads Worked by the locomotive steam-engine, have so
decided a superiority, both as regards time and expense,
that there can be no question but they will be generally
adopted wherever a new line of conveyance has become
necessary, either from an increased trade, or from the
exorbitant demands of canal proprietors.
By the locomotive engine fifty tons of goods may be
conveyed by A ten bone-power engine on a level toad
at the rate of six mile! an hour, and lighter weights at
a proportioned increase of speed. Carriages for the con-
veyance of passengers, at the rate of twelve or fourteen
miles per hour. For canals it is necessary to have a
dead level, but not so for rail-roads; an engine will
work goods over an elevation of one-third of an inch
to the yard. Where the ascent or descent is rapid, and
cannot be counteracted by cuttings or embankments,
recourse must be had to permanent engines and inclined
planes, just as recourse is had to locks for canals; but
here again the rail-road system has a great advantage
the inclined plane causes no delay, while locking creates
a great deal.
Two Acts of Parliament have already been obtained,
namely, the Stockton and Darlington Act, and the
Moreton' Act. On these lines, which exceed thirty
miles each, it is intended to adopt the locomotive en-
gine, and they will both be very soon ready for the con-
veyance of goods.
There are also three or four other rail-roads pro.
jected. Two years ago, several Gentlemen in Liver-
pool and Manchester subscribed to obtain a survey of
a line between those two towns. It was accomplished
and found practicable. From various cause* the pro-
sectition of the plan was delayed ; but a few months
since it was undertaken with great spirit. A deputa-
tion from both towns was appointed to inspect the rail
roads and locomotive engines of the North ; they in-
spected the Stockton and Darlington line, and inquired
minutely into its cost ; they witnessed the engines work-
ing on the Helton rail-road, near Sunderland, and made
a most favourable Report. The Committee immedi-
ately appointed Mr. George Stephenson, of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, their engineer, who has since surveyed and
adopted a new line. Its length is thirty-three 1.16 th
miles, and the greatest ascent, or descent, is only 1-16th
of an inch to the yard. The distance by the high road
is thirty-six milts, and by the canals and river fifty
miles. The shares appropriated to Liverpool and Man-
chester have all been disposed of, but the Committee
have a small number placed in their hands, •to be dis-
tributed as they may deem proper. Application for an
Act will be made next Sessioo of Parliament ; the cost
is estimated at about 1300,000. Mr. Stephenson has
also laid down a line between Birmingham and Li-
verpool, of which report speaks most favourably; and
the Birmingham Committee will also go to Parliament
next Session.
It is intended to meet the Peak Forest and•Cromford
Canal by means of a rail-road ; a rail-road is also
spoken of at Stroud, and the High Sheriff of Northum-
berland has convened a County Meeting, to invite the
expediency of establishing one between Newcastle and
Carlisle.

The attempt on the part of Canal Proprietor: to pre-
vent their adoption is utterly hopeless. The discovery
of the Locomotive Engine will be almost as import.
ant to the trade and commerce of this country as the
discovery of the Steam Engine itself. In fact, it is only
a new application of the power of the Steam Engine.
A few weeks since we witnessed the Prime Minister and
his coadjutors, surrounded by men distinguished for
their scientific and patriotic pursuits, assembled far the
purpose of voting a Monument to the memory of Mr.
Watt, for the distinguished services he had conferred on
his country and on mankind. Surely, then, Parliament
will never refuse to permit the country to reap the full
benefit of his discovery, by throwing out the Bills in-
tended to be applied for. Whatever Parliament may
do, they cannot stop the course of kno,s•ledge and
provement; the American Government has possessed
itself, through its Minister, of the improved mode of
constructing and working railroads, and there can be
no doubt of their immediate adoption throughout that
country. The writer of this article has reason to know,
that there is scarcely a Government in Europe, even
down to that of the enterprising Pashaw of Egypt,
which is not informing itself, through its agents, on this
most important subject. Monsieur Dom, the cele-
brated French traveller, has observed in his work on
England, that though he could find monuments to the
memory of statesmen, soldiers, sailors, and poets, he
could find none to its greatest benefactor, Mr. Watt ; it
would form an everlasting reproach to the spirit and en-
terprise of this country if foreigners should be the first
to embrace generally the advantages which the disco-
very of the Locomotive Engine presents, and which,
undoubtedly, we mainly owe to Mr. Watt.
The following Memorial of the Liverpool and Man-
chester Company we submit to our readers; though it
contains matter chiefly of local interest, there ale parts
of it well entitled to general consideration :
" To TUE WONSMITUL vat MATOIL AND COXLION COUNCIL Or Tat

Bosocom or Livir.rooz.,

" The Memorial of the Subscribers to the projected Rail-road
between Liverpool and Manchester,
" Sbeweth—That the Merchants of this port have, for a long
time past, experienced very great difficulties and obstructions in the
prosecution of their business, in coniequence of the high charges on
the freight of goods between this town and Manchester, and oldie
frequent impossibility of obtaining vessels for days together.
`• That the high rate of freight and the scarcity of vessels are
owing to the monopolies possessed by the two existing Carrying
Establishments of the Old *says and the Trustees of the late Duke
of Bridgewater.
.4 That it is true that these two lines of conveyance are at all
times open to any parties who nay choose to navigate them with
their own vessels; but your Memorialists beg to represent, and to
press upon your attention, that this is little better then a nominal
