Committee Room, October 15. 1829. off, and performed the seven miles in the incredibly short space of fourteen minutes, being at the rate of 30 miles an hour. This was an highly interesting exhibition, and gave universal satisfaction, tending, as it does, to prove, that the power of locomotive engines has been under-rated fully one-half, and leading us to hope that, when all the merits of the various engines now exhibited an4 elsewhere existing shall, as they most undoubtedly will, be combined in one new and complete locomotive power, there will be no desirable velocity that cannot be obtained and that, having, for all practical purposes, perfected the speed of the machines, any further augmentation of its powers will be exclusively appropriated to enabling it to carry additional weight, and to ascend inclined planes. When The Rocket had run, The Novelty started in order to make a fair experiment of her power, her load being attached.

The engine went off from the starting post at the rate of 12 miles an honr, and her velocity rapidly increased during the whole trip. The whole time between the tents of the judges at at each end, being exactly mile, was performed in 4 minutes and 39 seconds, being at the rate of 17J miles per hour. There is no doubt that, on a continued forward journey, The Novelty would have travelled freely at the rate or 20 miles per hour. The average rate of her two trips was nearly miles an hour and, even including the stoppages of almost three minutes at the top of the inclined plane, at the rate of 13 miles an hour, loaded always. MONDAY, Oct.

12. No determinate trials took place nor indeed any of the Judges or Directors on the ground, but some of the engines TRIAL OF LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGES. A brief notice of this most interesting exhibition was given in our last; but from the great interest excited by these trials of scientific skill, we are in duced to give it this week at greater length. The Directors of the Liverpool and Manchester rail-road having offered, in the month of April last, a prize of M0. for the best locomotive engine, tiie trial of the carriages which had been constructed to contend for the prize commenced on Tuesday week.

The running-nround was on the Manchester side of the Rainhill Bridge, at a place called Kenrick's Cross, about ten miles from Liverpool. At place, the rail-road runs on a dead level, and formed, of course, a fine spot for trying the comparative speed of the carriages. The Directors had made suitable preparations for this important, as well as interesting experiment of the powers of locomotive carriages. For the accommodation of the ladies who might visit the course, (to use the language of the turf,) a booth was erected on the south side of the rail-road, equidistant from the extremities of the trial-ground. Here a band of music was stationed, and amused the company, during the day, by playing pleasing and favourite airs.

The Directors, each of whom wore a white ribbon in his button-hole, arrived on the course shortly alter Ten o'CIock in the forenoon, having come from Huyton in cars drawn by Mr. Stephenson's locomotive steam carriage, which moved up the inclined plane from thence with considerable velocity. Meanwhile, hdics and gentlemen, in ureat numbers, arrived from Liverpool and Warrington, St. Helen's and Manchester, as well as from the surrounding country, in vehicles of every description. Indeed, all the roads presented on this occasion scenes similar to those which roads leading to race courses usually present during the days of sport.

The pedestrians were extremely numerous, and crowded all the roads which conducted to the race-ground. The spectators lined both sides the road for the distance of a mile and a half and although the men employed on the line, amounting to nearly 200, acted as special constables, with orders to keep the crowd off the course, all their er-forts to carry their orders into effect were render ed nugatory, by the people persisting in walking on the ground. It is difficult to form an estimate of the number or individuals who had congregated to behold the experiment but there could not, at a moderate calculation, be less than 10,000. Some gentlemen even went so far as to compute them at Never, perhaps, on any previous occasion, were so many scientific gentlemen and practical engineers collected together on one spot as there were on the rail-road to witness this trial. The interesting and important nature of the experiments had drawn them from all parts of the kingdom to be present at this contest ot locomotive carriages, as well as to witness an exhibition whose results may alter the whole system of our existing internal communications, many and important as they are, substituting an agency whose ultimate effect's can scarcely be anticipated for, although the extraordinary I ILLERS, IRONMASTERS, ORTLV WILL BE OFFERED FOR SALE IY AUCTJOIf rWMIE Valuable WATER CORN LL, situate m.

Things ab they were, and things as they are." About twenty years since a manufacturer at Bolton was charged before the Methodists, "leaders' meeting," "with having reduced the price of weaving 6-4 50 reed cambrics to one guinea a piece." The charge is preferred by two of his weavers, who were" and still are Methodists; but who are not now weavers. One is a spinner arid manufacturer, and the other an extensive manufacturer. The last one declared that he could welly dee wi'th thouts that poor folks could not get a living at sich praaces." This same individual, who has risen from the seat-board of a loom to the driving seat of his own gig, is now paying only 5s. 6d. a piece for weaving 5-4 GO reed jacconets, 120 picks in the inch, and 24 yards long.

I do not. however, hear that any charge is to be brought against him before the lead ers' or that he says now that he could welly dee wi'th thouts as poor folk cannot get a Ii-vin at sich praaces."

He has exacted very trifling terntorj cessions, an indemnity for the expence, war, the freedom of the Black Sea to all nat at peace with Turkey, and some commercial vantages. The first article promises in tnity, peace, friendship, ami good intelh i The second restores to the Sublime Ported daria, Wallachia, and Bulgaria, with Adrian' pie, and all the other places occupied by theR sians.

The third continues the River Prutb limit of the two Empires.

The fifth ar tide regards Wallachia, refers to another Trw ty by which its independence, under the suzerain of the Porter is to be secured. It is undarshvo that its Governors, which have hitherto been movable by the Sultan, hall be elt C- life, and the Empkror of Russia shall have veto on their appointment.

"And if, which God forbid! any of the stipulations contained in the present article should be infringed, and the reclamations of the Russian Minister on that subject should not obtain a full and prompt satisfaction, the Sublime Porte recognizes beforehand the riht in the Imperial Court of Russia to consider such an infraction an act of hostility, and immediately to-retaliate on the Ottoman Empire." Such are the words of the Treaty. The eighth article provides for the payment, in eighteen months, of indemnities for losses and injuries sustained bv Riw-sian subjects since the war of 1806 part being for claims not liquidated under the Trean i Ackenuan, and part in consequence of the measures adopted respecting the navigation nf the Bosphorus. The ninth article grants an indemnity for the expences of the war the amount be regulated by mutual accord, and the region of a small portion of territory in Asia, stipnL-ted by the fourth article, to be made in part ot" payment.

TUESDAY. This morning. at an early hour, the Judges were on the ground, and Mr. Ackworth's engine was pronounced to be ready for starting. It was weighed and the regular load assigned.

The first printed card having stated the weight of the Sans Pareil" to be 4 tons cwt. 2 qrs. the load assigned to it, according to the conditions, would be 13 tons 5 cwt. 2 qrs. making in all 17 tons 13 cwt.

for the total weight of the engine and load. Soon after ten, the Sans Pareil" started to do her assigned performance of seventy miles and for two hours this engine performed with great speed and regularity, averaging full fourteen miles an hour, for a distance of upwards of twenty-five miles, whilst dragging that enormous load. Unfortunately one of the pumps which supply the boiler from the tender was out of order, and, inconsequence, some accident occurred, which it was necessary to stop to remedy. This is no proof of the failure, because it has nothing to do with principle and we are assured that when the "Sans Pareil" has got into good working order, she will rank high in the list of competitors, and may well be considered as having fulfilled all the original conditions. Beyond the above, we believe little of importance took placa, with the exception of the exercising of Mr.

Stephenson's carriage, which, without carrying weight, performed several journeys, at a speed exceeding its former performances, to the great delight and surprise of thenu-merous spectators who were, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, assembied on the ground. The experiments to be made to-morrow (Wednesd-iy) are expected to provehighly interesting. WEDNESDAY. We may consider the trial ofthe Locomotive Engines virtually at an end. In consequence of the number of petty accidents which had occurred to the London Engine.

The Novelty, the ingenious inventors Messrs. Braithwaite and Eriksson, (rather unadvisedly as we consider.) took their engine to pieces after the performance of Saturday, and they had only the joints of the boiler pipe closed this morning. Every engineer knows the effect of a high pressure upon a green joint, but as The Novelty had been entered for this contest, the proprietors determined upon starting. Accordingly, at one o'clock the engine set off, and performed about seven miles in a manner highly satisfactory, going at one time at the rate of 24 miles an hour with its "accustomed load, when the green joint of the boiler pipe gave way, as might have actually been expected, and the engine was obliged to stop. In the early part of the day Mr.

Stephenson's engine ascended the Ramhiil inclined plane several times with heavy loads of passengers, and did this at the rate of 12 miles an hour. Mr. Burstall exercised his engine, but we believe we are correct in stating this gentleman is conscious that his engine is not sufficiently powerful to compete with the other three. He will however continue to try its powers. It is now understood that Mr.

Ackworth 's engine is overweight ror tne original conditions. Mr. Brandreth will also exhibit again, but as he an have, under the present circumstance no chance of succeeding against what has been done, it is pro-bable his appearance will not be as a competitor. The course is thus left clear for Mr. Stephenson, and we congratulate him with much sincerity on the I probability of his being about to receive the reward of 500.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Manchester. Oetober 12. This mornimr hptn-pon the hours or five and six o'clock, this town, and more particularly the neighbourhood of Piccadilly and Dale-street, was thrown into the utmost state of consternation, in consequence of a report having been spread that the extensive warehouses belonging to the company of merchants trading to and from Liverpool, Leeds, York, and Halifax, had taken fire. The fire-engines of the Royal Exchange Assurance-office.

the Norwich, the Manchester, and the various other offices which have stations in the town, were immediately upon the spot, and commenced playing upon the building but notwithstanding the plentiful supply of water (Rochdale Canal adjoining the premises.) the destructive element had proceeded too far to entertain any hopes of checking its progress until the demolition of the premises had been the consequence. The firemen therefore directed their Ltbours to those warehouses adjoining, belonging to private indviduals, which appeared every moment to be in danger of taking fire, from their having a communication with the company's warehouses. The engines played incessantly upon the buildings in the neighbourhood, but unfortunately the warehouses ot" Messrs. Barmby and Falkner, carriers to and from Manchester and Hull, being in the immediate vicinity of the company's warehouses, fell a victim to the devouring fury of the flames. About half-past five the fire appeared to assume a most formidable and terrific aspect four barrels of gunpowder, which belonged to Messrs.

Holland St Curtis, druggist, exploded, and shook the tottering timbers like an earthquake, and caused them to fall instantaneously down, and w.ch them a part of the brick-work. The warehouses being full of bales of cotton, burnt with a rapidity that may easily be imagined the firemen endeavoured, amongst the burning ruins, to rescue some property which was in the further end of the premises, and being of very great value, they had played upon it with the engines for a length of time 16 or 17 of them, however, proceeded to venture their lives in endeavouring to procure it from the flames, but just as they had reached the spot, a part of the wall gave way upon them, and buried several beneath the ruins; fortunately, however, they were all most miraculously preserved, with the exception of one poor fellow, named Thomas Taylor, a fireman of the Roval Exchange Assurance-office, who was picked up in adreadfully mutilated state, and carried to the Manchester infirmary, where he expired a few minutes after his arrival. He has left a wife ami three children to deplore their loss. How the fire originated it is impossible at present to divine. It appears that the persons employed by the company, during the whole of Saturday and Sunday, had been engaged in shipping goods, and recommenced their labours at half-past twelve on Monday morning A blacksmith, named Eaton, was the first to discover the fire and it is reported rhat the origin ot it was, that one of the workmen of the company fell asleep upon a quantity of flax with a lighted candle by his side.

If that is the case, the poor fellow has most likely perished; though as there is no confirmation of the fact, it is merely given as rumour. The extent or damage sustained cannot as yet be estimated 700 bales of cotton in the company's warehouses, belong to various persons in Manchester and the towns in the neighbourhood, together with 8M) loads of malt, the property of a Mr. Taylor, maltster, of Car 1-ton-upon-Trent, near Newark, in Nottinghamshire, were amongst the property destroyed. The warehouses, we understand, though not the goods, were insured in the Norwich and Royal Exchange Assurance-offices. The warehouse of Messrs.

Barnaby and Faulkner, as well as those of the Liverpool and Wakefield company, were reduced, bv ten o'clock in the forenoon, to a heap of rubbish. The canal, which runs alongside the warehouse, appeared like a lake of liquid fire, the surface for a considerable distance being covered with burning cotton. cuange in our river ami coast navigation by steam- beats may afford some rule of comparison, sti'l the I effect of wind and waves and a resisting medium, combine in vessels to present obstructions to the full exercise of the gigantic power which will act on a rail-way, unaffected by the seasons, and unlimited but by the demand for ita application. There were only one or two public-houses or ta verns in me vicinity ot tne trial-ground these were, or course, crowded with company as the dav advanced, particularly the Rail-road Tavern, which was literally crammed with company. The landlady had very prudently and providently reserved one room lor the accommodation of the better class or isitors.

The good lady will, it is imagined, have substantia reasons for remembering the trial of locomotive carriages. But there is nothing like making hay while the sun shines. The locomotive carriages which appeared on the ground on Tuesday were No 1. Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson, of London "The Novelty;" weight.

2 tons, 15 cwt. 2. Mr. Ackworth, of Darlington The Sans Pareil weight, 4 tons. 8 2 qrs.

3. Mr. R. Stephenson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne; Rocket;" weight, 4 tons. 3 cwt.

4. Mr. Brandreth, of Liverpool; The Cyclo- ped weight, 3 tons; worked by" two horses. Mr. Burstill, of Edinburgh, did not bring his carriage out, in consequence of its having met with an accident on its road from Liverpool to the course.

The locomotive carriages attracted, of course, the attention of every individual on the ground. They ran up and down the road, during the forenoon, more tor amusement than experiment, surprising and even startling the unscientific beholders by the amazing velocity with which they moved along the rails. Mr. Robert Stephenson's carriage attracted the most attention during the early part of the afternoon. It ran, without any weight "being attached to it, at the rate of twenty-four miles in the hour, shooting past the spectators with amazintr velocity, emitting- verv I little smoke, but dropping red-hot cinders as it pro-j ceeded.

Cars containing stones were then attached I to it, weighing, together with its own weight, up- wards of 17 tons, preparatory to the trial or its speed being made. The precise distance between the point or starting, at or near the weighing shed, to the point or returning, was If mile; but in the adjudication i or distances, it is understood the judge allowed a i forlong at each end for the acquirement and abatement or speed. The observations recorded applv. however, to the whole distance. With a load or tons gross, the Rocket travelled the above space of 14 mile, four times forward and backward, equal to 14 miles, in the space of 75 minutes, exclusive of stoppages but including the stoppages, the average rate was 10J miles per hour.

But in the fifth course, the rate of speed, with a load augmented by passen-i gers.until equal to 13 tons, was full 15 miles an hour. The engine of Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson. of London, was universally allowed to exhibit, in appearance and compactness, the beau-ideal of a locomotive engine. Its performance, whilst exercis-ing without a load, was most astonishing, passing over a space of 2J miles in seven minutes and a quar- I ter, including a stoppage.

With this delay, its rate I of speed was about 23 miles an hour. While running, the progress was upwards of 28 miles an hour. Owing to a variety of circumstances, this engine wn6 prevented from being ready to start with a load until a late hour, when, at the request of the Directors, 1 its exhibition was postponed until Wednesday. The i velocity at which it moved surprised and amazed every beholder. It seemed, indeed, to fly, present-ing one of the most sublime spectacles of human in- genu itj and human daring the world ever beheld.

Ji It actudly made one giddy to look at it, and filled thousands with lively fears for the safety of the in- 1 dividuals who were on it, and who seemed not to run along the earth, hot to fly, as it were, on the wins of the wind." It was a most sublime sight a sight, indeed, which the individuals who beheld it win not soon forget, WEDNESDAY. It is stated, that there was an experiment made on Wednesday, with the carriage of Messrs. BraithwaTre and Erickson, preparatory to the grand trial which is to be made on Saturday. The carriage is said to have travelled at the rate of 25 miles an hour, three times its own weight. In consequence of the bursting of the bellows of one of the engines, the commencemet of the contest was postponed to the following day.

THURSDAY. The powers of Mr. Stephenson's carriage, the Rocket, were this day put to the test in the performance of a journey of seventy miles. with loaded woggons attached to it. This, we are I informed, was done at the average rate of eleven miles in the hour, including stoppages, and the time lost after stopping to return, before the recovery of the general speed.

On one occasion the distance of thirteen miles was performed within the hour. After this trial, in consequence ol the promulgation of a new set of conditions by the judges, the further trial was postponed until Saturday at eleven o'clock. SATURDAY. It had been arranged, that the I London engine was to start this morning; accord-! ingly, at the appointed hour, the engine was weighed, I and the load assigned to it by the judges. The steam was got up in 54 minutes from the time of lighting the fire.

The engine went one trip by way or rehearsal, when the accidental explosion or a small copper tube caused a delay until it could be repaired by the time matters were adjusted, it was considered too late to commence the running with a view to a decision. Between the occurrence and the repair of this misbap, Mr. Stephenson's engine was run twice down the course and back, making in all seven miles. The boilers were filled, the steam got up, and all load was taken off from behind, including even the tender-carriage with the water-tank. Thus stripped for the race.

Hie Rocket was started.
