Delaware journal., 1827-11-09
From a late English paper.

About five O'Clock on Saturday morning steam
carriage, carrying nearly dozen of persons inside
and out, made its appearance on the Camden town
road. 1t proceeded through Kentish tswn and up
Highgate Hill, at the rate, as nearly as could CAL
culate, of 81 miles an hour, its velocity being the
same in ascending the hill the comparatively
level ground.-upon arriving at the summit Of the
hill opposite Holy terrace, the conductor turned his
ponderous vehicle, and Immediately commenced the
descent of the hill. at rate perhaps of four miles an
hour. Whether, however, arising from the unskl-
fulness of the manager, or from the defect of the
machinery, we cannot tell, his pace became gradu-
ally much greater, until the power of controlling its
impetus seeming to be almost lost, it was propelled
so violently over paved gutter, that one of the
wheels gave way and put an immediate termination
to its further progress by steam A horse was then
procured, and the machine dragged away upon its
five remaining wheels. We believe this is the first
steam carriage that has been brought fairly into ac-
ton before the public. In size it undoubtedly ap
pears unwiedy compared with the common stage
coach, being somewhat more broad and nearly twice
the length Of those vehicles; but it appeared. not
withstanding its bulk to be thoroughly under the con-
troll of the steerer until the disorder of the machine
ry, the weight of the body, proved too heavy for
the wheels.

The fact is that young ladies of the present day,
finish their education before they have actually com

introductory part of their education for the com

be dated from that period when mind and faculty

Education.--If there be not now less of crime
in country, taking into view the great increase
of population, than in preceding generations, there
more abhorrent features. And this is the conse-
quence of that advanced state of civilization and
generous culture of the moral virtues, which are
sure to result from the genial influence of education
diitused among all classes. The mind in early you'll,
imbued with a proper sense of moral right and OF

that every possible effort be made. to extend the
benefits of education to each and every inhabitant

AMERICAN SYSTEM.

The following declaration Of, or perhaps plea for,
Independence, is made by the editor Of the Norfolk
Herald, OF the 29th ult. Our friends of the south
really speak out.
We have copied to day from the NJ York Jour-
nal of Commerce, an article intended to shew the
impocy Of setting up manufactures in the Southern
States, and the great superiority of the free labor of
the North the slave labor of the South, in man.
ufacturing establishments To which we would re-
ply: the North is getting rich by its manufactures,
while the South, obstnaely depriving itself oftheir
aid heretofore, is daily growing poor, in spite of its
large capital Even in small town, it is
computed that we have half million lying idle for
want of profitable investments, and we have, more
over, eariully large portion of our population eth
er entirely idle, or employed not more than half
their time single cotton mandatory in our
town would, we are confident, materially alter the
aspect of our afairs-t would set the idle to work,
and gradually draw out the imprisoned boards of
wealth to nourish and revive dropping trade.
If the agricultural States of Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland are rising to prosperity by manufac-
lures, why may not Virginia and North Carolina
After all that has been said to the contrary, we are
of opinion that slave labor may be advantageousy
employed should be necessary to resort to it-but
we have besides an abundant free population to
whom such employment would be blessing Let

handsome octave volumes, Of above 500 pages eacn,
on fine white paper, and beautiful type. About
one third of the work, as we have been informed, is
substantially new, consisting chiefly of letters writ

not published. If would of course be superhuous
for US to speak of the talents and requirements Of the
author, or of the and luency Of his style: and
the public have already been made acquainted with

Pei, about the period at which the European Mis-
