IMPROVEMENTS.
Rebert Patterson, professor of Mathematics in
the University cPennsylvariia and CaletKler Irvine.
Sup. U. States, have signed the following cenifi-
cate which is pabushintr irt the newt papers.
We have the pleasure to inform the hovers of
domestic improvements, that a satisfactory, experi
ment, at which we were present, was lately mde in
this eity, by Mr. Thomas Leiper, of the great utili
ty of rail ways for the conveyance of heavy burdens
an improvement which was a lew Years ago in
troduced in England and some other parts of Eu
rope, as in many cases, a cheap and valuable substi
tute for canals. " .
In the above experiment, a rail way was laid; of
two parallel courses of oak scantling, about four feet
apart, supported on blocks or sleepers, about 8 feet
trora each other. On this rail way which, hod an
ascent of one inch and a half in the Yard, or 2d S3,
a single horse, under the disadvantage of a path of
loose earth to walk on, hawled up a tour wheel car
riage, loaded with the enormous weight of 9 1-x
hundred or 10,696 pounds l
' We are informed, that Mr. Leiocr is about to
lay a rail way at Crura creek, in Delaware county,
r . . 1 . r r ( .
tor tne conveyance 01 stone, irom '' quarry to uie
landing ; a distance of about one mile." '

The following is a list of Turnpike Roads Zc Bride-
es in tlie butes of New York, with the amount of
the Capital Stock of the Companies, and the dis
tance of the Roads to be made. Extracted from
a -communication of Dr. De Witt, to the Society
for tha promotion of Useful Arts.'.'
fAll these companies have been formed and these
improvements Usen made wttfcuvbo last 12 or U
years. - Though we would hardly require as much
from North Carolina for the next 13 or 14 years,
yet sohiithing requires to begone, and this exhibi
tion of what hat been effected tmght to excite us to
attempt something here. I hese roads are bo ex
cellent in all seasons and produce can be carried
with such ease to market, that they have already
greatly enriched the Agricultural interest in those
parts ot the country through Which they have been
carried. The toll is a mere triflle compared witb
the advantages of the roads and the pleasure andfa
cility they afford the traveller. In this State . turn
pike roads ought to be made down along the princi
pal rivers to our seaport towns, and across the
state where the mail otaget run. The meicantile
and farming interests would be equally benefitted
Bad at our roads now are they are so much superi
our to those of Virginia that tobacco in those coun
ties bordering on Virginia which Wat once seut to
Petersburg is now sent 'to rayetteville. : liy a pro-
per attention : to roads the commerce of this state
would be doubled, and the wealth of the farmers in
the same proportion increased. Making good roads
is opening for every mat) a ready market and doub-
