From the Leeds Mercury.

On Wednesday last, highly interesting expert.
ment was made with machine, constructed by
Mlssrs. Fenton, Murray and Wood, Of this place,
under the direction Of MIR John Blenknsop the
paentee for the purpose of substituting the agency
oil steam for the use Of horses, in the conveyance
OF Goals, on the iron ail-way, from the mines OF
J. G. Branding esq. at Middleton, To Leeds. This
achine is, 10 fact, steam-engne OF four horses
power, which with he assistance of crauks turnin.
gwheel, and iron cogs placed at one side OF the
rail way, is capable of moving, when lightly loa-
drd, at the speed OF ten miles an hour.At O'clock
III The afternoon, The machine ran from the Coal
staith to the top of Hunsletmuor, where six, and
afterwards eight wagons of Goals, each weighing 81
tens, were hooked to the back part. With this i'm
mense weight, to which, itapproached this town,
was superaddcd about fifty of the spectators, noun
ted upon The Wagons it set off on lis return to the
Coal stai,h, and performed the journey, distance
Of about mile and half, principally on dead
level, in twenty three minutes, without he slightest
accident. The experiment, which was witnessed
By thousands Of spectators, was crowned with com
pleie success; and when it is considered that this
invention is applicable to all rail roads, and that
upon the works Of Mr.. branding alone, the use OF
fily horses will be dispensed with, and the corn
necessary for the consumption Of at least two hun
bred inca saved, we cannot torbear TO hail the in
yention as Of vast public utility and to rank the in
seu.or amongst The benefactors OF his country"

From the Trenton True American.

At meeting held at the house Of James Honey
man, in the township Of Tewksbury, in the county
Of Hunterdon, on Saturday the I'd of November,
1929, for the purpose of taking into consideration
the necessity Of petitioning the Legislative Council
and General Assembly, to pass law to reduce In
terest on moneys now due and owing and which may
be hereafter borrowed in this state-.Ths following
resolutions were passed:
RESOLVED, That the present rate of Interest, as
established by the laws of this state, is, in our opin
ion, extrayaganty high and unreasonable.
Resolved, That the member of Council and the
members of the Assembly for this county, be re-
quested to use their influence in endeavoring to re-
duce the yearly Interest on debts now due, and on
all moneys hereafter to be loaned ON Interest," in
This state, from seven to five per centum per an
nun.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting
that, ii the present rate OF Interest is continued il
will together with the late change of the times, be
the ultimate ruin of great portion Of the mos
frugal and industrious part OF the community.
ReSoLred That in the opinion of this meeting
the borrower of money ought to be as much bene-
flied in borrowing as the lender is in loanng, and il
money is reduced TO FIVE per cent our manufacture
ers and mechanics as well as the agriculturasts
who, in fact, have to bear the greatest portions o.
the public burdens, would be essentially benefited
and the lender receive fair compensation for hi.
