Travelling in 1753 and 1843.—The following advers 
tisement appeared in Felix Farley on the 7th of March, 
1753 :—* Bristol Flying Coach to London in two days ; 
will set out from the White Hart Inn, in Broad-street, 
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at two o’clock in 
the morning, and continue all the summer months; each 
passenger to pay 24s. and be allowed 20lbs. weight.” On 
the 19th of July, 1843, the journey was performed in two. 
hours and forty minutes. 
Ancient Wheat—a letter from Munich states that 
in effecting some repairs in the old Castle of Burghausen, 
in Bavaria, a secret chamber has been discovered in which 
was found a quantity of wheat, placed there, as appears 
froma an inscription lying with it, in 1395. The corn was 
in a tolerable state, and bread made from the flour was 
perfectly catable. Both corn and flour hada blueish tinge. 
New Fire Escape.—A very simple and ingenious 
invention for preserving persons from being burnt in 
houses that are on fire has been. invented by Mr. Thomp- 
Son. The contrivance by which they are to be suved from 
the flames is this :—A rope, the two ends of which are 
held in the street by policemen or other persons is ele- 
vated by means of a pole, consisting of pieces fastened 
together after the manner of a fishin y-rod, to the window 
of the house from which the inmates are to be rescued ; 
the rope is then to be secured in the room by passing it 
tound a hook or heavy piece of furniture, and the two 
ends in the street being pulled apart so as to form an 
angle, a belt, which is secured upon them by strong iron 
rivets, is forced up to the window, by means of two small 
iron wheels or sheaves, almost instantaneously. The ap- 
paratus will carry a man secured by the belt up to a win. 
dow at the very top of the house, and will by means of 
the ends of the ropes being kept tight and asunder at such 
4 distance as the occasion requires, enable any one to 
descend by means of the belt without any danger from 
‘oo great rapidity. The machine was tried on Thursday 
in Sydney’s-alley, in Adam-street Adelphi, and in Wel- 
lington-street, Strand, when repeated ascents to and 
descents from windows were made with complete success. 
‘he invention is so simple and manageable that any per- 
Son can avail himself of it. 
The Duke of Wellington and the Law.—A gentleman 
residing at Preston took upon himself last week to inform 
his Grace that a certain piece of land formerly enjoyed by 
the writer’s family was now in the possession of another 
party, and as the property had originally belonged to the 
Crown he felt that he was only doing his duty In pointing 
out to the noble Duke how the Crown might gain re-pos- 
Session of jt. The answer is characteristic :—* London, 
Nov. 15, 1843.—Tbe Duke of Wellington has received 
Mr, ——__’g letter of the 1lth inst. Mr. ———_ should
