eyes, or other fubftantial fattening. The 
fhafts of the hind cart are to be united 
thereto in the ufval,way, and to pafs 
under the bed, and on the axle of the fore 
cart. 
When the waggon is divided an! ufed 
as carts, the thafts of the fore cart are 
to be removed back about ten inches to 
other holes, which now come in contaét 
for the hound’s pin to pals through to 
fecure the fhafts to the hou.ds. By the 
fhafts being thus moved back on the 
hounds, the nofe thereof is brought nearly 
tothe hind bolt of the fhafts, a piece of 
iron or wood being faitened on the under 
fide of it to prevent the hounds dropping 
down or patfing through the thafts. « 
In cafe the carts are to be ufed as tip- 
carts, then the fhafts of the fore cart 
being fattened to the hounds and ftruts, 
by the hound’s pin, a flrap of iron is to 
clafp the front bolt of the hounds, being 
fecured at the top and bottom fides, and 
“projecting from the front of it about 
three inches, having in fuch projection a 
morttife or fquare hole in the top, and 
another correfponding with it, only 
being a little longer in the under fide ;

thefe holes ait ane in contact with each 
other. 
The fhafts of the hind cart are ‘o be 
fixed with hooks and eyes. or other ofval 
faftening, having a ftaple fixed to, or mor- 
tife in, the front bolt, or in a crofs- 
bolt fixed thereto for that purpofe; and | 
another rong ftrap of iron, with a mor- 
tife in it, fixed to the under fide of the 
front fhudlock to the proj Sing part of 
the pole. Thefe two mortifes are to be 
in contact, fo that a tip-iron may pols 
through both, having a flop at one or 
both “ends, that a {mall iron key being 
introduced to either of the holes in the 
tip-iron, the body of the cart is deprefled 
or elevated, as occafion may require. 
The narrow limits of this article will 
not allow us to detail all the minutic 
contained in this fpecification, the lead- 
ing outlines will, however, be found in 
the foregoing defcription. And it fhould 
be obferved, that the head and tail ladders, 
and all other ufual and neceflary things 
ufed with common waggons may be ap- 
plied to the “ Patent Hampfhire Wag-

_of very confiderable p: roperty on the left 
bank of the Rhinz,which by means of 
the French Revolution he has loft. This 
induced him to difpofe of his galery of 
pictures, in the colieSting of which he had 
employed more than thirty years of his

Cimens of the arts that were>at any time 
to be procured, he fpared neither labour 
nor expence. Tbe trouble which he took, 
_ and the immente price which he paid, for 
many of tne pictures now exhibiting, in a 
degree, prove that his leading objeét and 
great ambition was to render his galery 
_the fart private colle&ion in the worid ;
