TO COKRESPONOEMTS. 



Ju couscquntce of the great adrantagrs tii enrrfspnudeucc hy tliv universal 

 iutnidur/iau of tlie penny jiost throiighintt tlie United Kingdimi, ire hope flint our 

 readers will do us the favour to forward aeeouiits oj all new huiltliugs, public 

 works, new inventions and discoveries, rcjiorts of scientijic mtctings, nciv engines, 

 .tteaiu hoat~i, dorks, canals, harbours, ^e., if a tithe of our readers will only take 

 the trouble to forward a dozen lines monthly, it will be the means of a/fording 

 such a mass of information, that ronlil not fail to be most valuable to the profession. 



We Ihauk our correspondent at Moulreat far his letter, we Ihinic that he ami his 

 professional brethren might obtain the Joiirmd in afar more direct manner, than 

 through the eirruiiinis and erjieusire ehuiinei of New York. iVe. advise him to 

 consult a respectable bookseller, or some agent who is iu constant corresjiondenee 

 with England. We shall be happy to reeeiee the information lie proposes. 



If'e feel particularly obliged to our correspondent ^Ir.Vt' .\{.i-'}ibey of New Yorki 

 for his valuable eoiitributions, we hojie to have a continuation of them. 



A corresjiomlent reijuests us to jmblish the description of the Epieycloiilal motion 

 fur a steam engine which we stated was not new. We will, ij we can find room, 

 do so ve.rt mouth, ro refer him to ivorks and places lehere it may be .fcen. The 

 last time we visited the Arsenal at Woolwich, we saw the motion ajijilieil to the 

 workiiiij of a jierjieiidieular saw for cutting timber. 



K. W . T.\s' last letter we will answer next mouth. Ills former communication 

 was received, wr did not insert it as we were desirous of avoiding the insertion of 

 any further articles on railway curves, 



l)iop;enes' apparatus for stopping carriages on railways will ajipear ne.it month, 

 will Dioyencs be .10 good as to inform us if it be the same apjiaratus as Thompson's 

 alluded to in his jiajier in last month's Journal. 



T. /.'s drawing for a paddle leheel with reejing jxuldles, coustrneted by Boulton 

 and Watt, in 1815. will ajipear ne.vt month. 



11. B.'s syphon for a high pressure steam gauge we will notice if we can sjnire 

 the room next month. 



We have this month made an alteration in the Journal by the introduction of 

 engravings iustead of wood cuts ; this plan we shall occasionally adojit when the 

 subjects for illustration are of a luivnle character. At the end of the year, when 

 the numbers are bound up, the plates will be placed ojiposite to the lefterjiress 

 referring to them, 



Comiiiunieotions are requested to be addressed to "TlieKditor of the Civil 

 Kngincer and Architect s Journal," No. ]\, Parliament Street, Westminster, 

 or to Mr. Clrooinbridge, Panyer Alley, Paternoster How ; if by post, to be di- 

 rected to the former j)laee ; if by parcel, to be directed to the nearest of the two 

 places where the coach arrives at in London, as we are freipiently put to the 

 exjienee of one or two shillings for the porterage only, of a very small parcel. 



Hooks for review must be .tent early in the month, eominunieiitions on or before 

 the 20th ( if with wood-suts, earlier), and advertiseinruts on or before the 25th
