1796.) 
An exptriment was alfo tately made of a 
mew portabie telegraph, lately invented by Mr. 
BpcEworTH. It was found to anfwer com- 
pletely the purpofe for wiich it was intended, 
viz. that of convey'ng orders throughout an 
army, fiom one pe to another. 
A tral was Jatuly made at Limehoule ey. be- 
fore a numaber of milita-y officers, &c. of anew- 
invented gui -Calriage, calcr wlat-d to produce 
a very confidérabie faving in the number of men 
neceflary to work the guns. The experiment 
Was made on an cighteen- pounder, which was 
accordingly worked, with great eafe, by four 
mien, and may even be worked by three. Is 
motion of traverfing is fo dexterous, that. it 
may always be thrown round to the fide, and 
leaded in board; a circumftance of material 
advantage, as it not only does: execution with 
much greater facility and certainty, but alfo 
preferves the men who work it from being ex- 
pofed to the aim of {mall fhot. It js alfo tux- 
nifhed with an inclined plane, which’ may 
beeither raifed or deprefled, as tl ne fituation of 
a‘fhip may require. 
Ata generat meeting of the Grand function 
Canal Company, held lately at the Crown, and 
Anchor tavern, the whole body of proper: etors, 
engiteers, &c. exprefied their decided conyic- 
tion, that the wide, orriver, boat is fuperier, 
in all reipe&ts, to the nairow one ;—-by this re- 
gulation, as oe object of the compary is to 
bring the Staffordthire potteries, &c. to Lon- 
don, in river boats, the neceflity of trans-fhip- 
ping, and the rey table loffes attending it, to 
ax iucalculable annual amount, wil! be avoided.
