"A PERSON who signs himself ALFRED
a FOWLER, has thought proper to in
troduce my namc in an advertisement, pub
lished without any other apparent object,
than TO crafty malignant feeling. So far as
his remarks concern me, personally, ! shall
condescend to notice them no farther than
to say, that if he be the individual who was
lately the bosom friend and associate of the
Mr.. v. T. ROGERS, whom he now denoun-
ces, his insnuations are either wholly false
and slanderous, or he convicts himself of be-
ing an accomplice III Fraud and Kidnap-
ping. He can take which alternative he
pIeases. Buff he be the person have sup
posed, he stands responsible to the broken
Commission House Of which he speaks, for
upwards of 1000, on notes, on which he
appears as principal, due three years ago.
Now if this house be broken, as he asserts, It
has been brought TO that condition by the
dishonesty of those. who like himself, pos
sessing ample means of payment, cause
their movable property to be run of, and
cover the rest by fraudulent conveyances.
The baseness, therefore, ofreproaching those
with the ruin which he is thus, so instru-
mental in causing, can only be exceeded by
the folly which invites its public exposure.

STEAM TRAVELLING ON THE Con

STEAM TRAVELLING ON THE COMMON
RoADs.-One of tho General Steam
Coach Company's coaches started from
the York and Albany Holel, near the Re.

ney to the Manor House at Tottenham
and back again, in 25 or 26 minutes, a
distance of from seven 10 nine miles, as
estimated by two several parties. This
would give on rough calculation about
Is miles in the hour. But from the OBJ
structions which we're encountered on
the road, in the shape of focks of sheep,
carts, horses and vehicles of every de-

fair essimate, and that 90 miles an hour
woGle be the more correct computation.
One fact, however, seemed TO be estima-

is capable Of running on ordinary roads
with speed, economy and safety. The

which appeared in the descent from tho

across the road when the coach was at

taken place, and no doubt serious conse.

though several flocks of sheep were met

only to say that the wheels are very

passengers it resembles the open carria.
