Grifritn’s Steam-Carriage, we think 
it proper to state, that the delay in the 
intended public exposition of the ear- 
riage now building, has arisen from 
some important improvements. Many 
“experiments have been satisfactorily 
made respecting the self-movement of 
the carriage in every direction: but, 
in consequence of the distance from 
the fire, at which were placed the 
higher ranges of tubes that compose 
“the boiler, a sufficient quantity of 
steam did not continue tobe gene- 
rated with ‘the ‘celerity required. ‘It 
was therefore found expedient to re- 
move such ranges of tubes, and to 
place them nearer the influence of the 
firc, that the efficient elasticity of the 
steam might not be interrupted, and 
the action of all the tubes secured. 
This work has, of course, employed con- 
siderable time; but of complete ulti- 
mate success no doubt can be justly 
entertained. 
The Chronology of the last Fifty

nual registers ; and the promised’ edi-
