:" Glasgow, Jan. l, 1820.-We certify
that we tried one of Mr.. Bellingham's
new invented Steam Pressure Engines on
the most billy road in twenty miles Of this
town--that it impelled coach loaded
for the purpose, weighing in all four tons,
AT the rate Of 20 English miles in one
hour without any Inconvenience except
| the firing of the nave OF the wheel, ia con-
sequence Of the axles being common ones
Notwithstanding we we're obliged to
run it at night, to prevent the invention
being known until The patent is out.--One
man steered it with ease, and We consider
it the safest and best mode of impelling q
carriage ever invented, and not so liable
to accidents as a carriage drawn by hor.
ses.--Given under our hands this day.
