conduct they bad pursued. A most important.'
useful, and remarkable scene bad been witnessed,
namely, that of a Representative being called to ac-
count for his conduct by his Constituents, in a tone
and temper that added dignity to the independence
they bad achieved. He could not but feel grateful
also to his friends for the generous and honourable sup-
port they had rendered him, lie remembered, how-
ever, that the greatest man of the age had admitted he
had fallen, because be had sinned against the spirit—
s* whenever he sinned against the spirit of his consti-
tuents on a setions subject, let him fall. He should
on any intimation, however delicately given by the
body of his constituents, resign his seat, certainly
ith regret, but not with shame, for those only could
feel shame who were conscious of corrupt motives in
their conduct ; but lie should have the consolation to
know, that when he paid this penalty, he should by
the example contribute to the cause of independence,
or they would not express the wish.

WALKINO ON WATCH, Juxa 19.—0 n
Tuesday aftertmon, Nlr. Kent exhibited his apparatus
for ti talking on the water, at Newhaven ; and after
going about the piers for some tune, walked out to the
Roads, and round the guard ship, returning to the pier
in a boat. *I he week before he walked aeross the
Frit!. from Nee haven to Burntisland, a distance be-
tween six and s..ven wiles, and on Thursday he
crossed the Queenst-rry, about two wiles broad, in
presence of the Doke of Atholl and several other No-
ble and lI oatlemeo. On Friday afternoon, he exhi-
bited in the sea, At Portobello, before a great concourse
of spectators. lie ‘‘ en: out about a mile from the shore,
and walked backwards and forwards for seine time.
Mr. Kent then left his apparatus, and made several
movements in the water, his head anti shoulders only
appearing above the surface with the paddles by
which lie gives the impetus to his aquatic velocipede,
arid a kind of life•preserver bound round his body, he
moved about for some time with apparent ease. Alen
were stationed at (litre-rent places with boxes to collect
money from the people assembled; and we understood
a handsome sam %vas obtained, which will enable 31r.
Kent to proceed to London, n here he prop .ors to ex-
hilsit his apparatus.
Mr. Turner, the celebrated Blacking 31anufacturer
of L option, has arrived in this town, un his usual
round, in a machine hitherto unknown in the annals
of travellinz. Itis a four-wheeled carriage (invented
by s Mr. Johnson). which. though es neat and easy as a
plosion or curriele, from haying no iron springs, avoids the
duty on spring caniages, by coming under the appellation
of a " stage waggon," and as such is regularly lirensed at
Somerset-house. The wheels are extremely nest and light.
wills patent a ‘letrees. and stand upright, by which a cetnai-
derable degree of friction is avoided. Tar axletrees are
iron : from the hinder one, near the wheel, on each side.
is fixed a bar of iancewood : these meet on the centre of the
fore axletree, and serve at once for connecting pole and
springs, the body of the carriage being poised in the middle
of them. The front axletree turns on a small circular pinte,
and is neat and secure, though entirely without the frame-
work hi the front of ciirricles and other carriages. The
shafts, which are of the cubriole construction, are imme-
diately attached to the axletree by joints. But the greatest
novelty and advantage (if, indeed, so ingenious an evasion
of the duty be sot of tantamount Importance) is the manner
by which the lioNe, should he he restive or run off. may be
inst.intly detached from the carriage by a simple operation
of the driver. Tuffs is contrived without any sacrifice of
neatness, or of ease to the horse or rider : the traces are
short ; attached to each Is a small plate of iron so formed as
as to enr.race t:iree sides of the square shafts; throng!' the
parallel sides of these irons is a hole, as there also is through
tor shafts, to which they are, consequently, easily :Axed,
by means of as ire.' pin. Directly over this there is a curve
er bridge of brasi screwed to the shaft: throut.h the top of
this arch a strap leads, fastened to the top of the pin, so as to
p1;11 it straight out ; when the pins are inserted, anuther
strap is pet thrnegh them in the manner of a linch-pin, to
prevent them from starting out : the straps are, et a eon-
vient distance, united, and lead along the shafts to the
front of the carriage, like a bridle. On pulling this. the
straps that fasten the pins below, being the shortest.
theiziselves ; and the upper ones then draw out the pins ;
the horse, with his hernias, is thus et freedom in a moment ;
and the shafts, as ;its rein does not draw along them further
than is necessary to pull out the bolts, are, by the sante
operation raised from the ground. The whole machine
which is neatly paiutod and decorated, and is as handsome as
any etirriele ; widgits only about 3f, cwt. and may be dragged
shout by a school-boy. The body is the same as that of a
gig. In the front, according to the act, is the far-famed
owner's name, and the somber of the waggon ; and above
it, in shining, but not conspicuous letters, is painted what
may he seen on the street corners of every town In Great
Britain, from the Land's End to Johnny Groat's House.
