At the risk of oa- tng thought tedious, we mast persevere in our ex amination of the West India papers, which have lor some days past occupied no inconsiderable portion of our pper. It is essential that the pub lic niind should be impressed with the real fact of! the case ; and that means should exist of re- lernng to some documentary evidence of the char acter of tlie whole. proceeding, other than by trav elling through amass of papers, occupying 79 toliojpages, which few are inclined to do and still felwer have the means of doing. The con tents of title X, which we examined yesterday, present an extraordinary mass of folly inconsis tency and it is not natural to suppose that the seasoning by which the promulgation ot such doc rimetlt8, as the acts and ordinance in question is sought to be justified, is in ordinance with the liocuments themselves. j Title XI. isthe8ecnp of the two papers com municated by Lord Godfrich to the reputations: and its avowed objscV is to give a com pend ions explanation of the principal motives by which those measures (the acts and ordinances) have b?en suggested. In the few prefatory observa tions In this "compendious explication," there js on3 one single paragraph in which we can say we for the most part coincide and we only wish that the practice of government had been in accordance with their profession. This ia the paragraph: The projected laws are eight in number, he two first would be passed by Parliament; the remaining six by the different Colonial Legist lainres .

Now the patentees ofthc undulating railway maintain a proposition which ' Is the logical .contradictory of this. They holds, thatetren if theprojected road be natuually a dea4 level, ft must be artificially cut into ups ni downs, as to keep the load constantly ascending and descending until the journey is completed ; and ia.so doing, they assert that the transport is produced in a considerably less time with th rhemoviiigpower,orint with a obtained thefmeans of constractii yb much isexrture ofthe moving principle ttngline'ofml waybfsome rSnS Affam. it has been he d i as a innAtim s i . that if on a railway, it becomes! necessary to as cend from ; one level to another, the ascent is most advantageously made by a: plane uniformly inclined fmm the lower to the higher level.; On the contrary, the patentees of the und ulating rail way bold that the ascent is effected with a les4 ler power by dividingj the interyals into ups and downs, so as to cause carriage alternately to de scend and ascend until it f arrivs at the upper level. Indeed, one of these propositions iUow from the others far i C k HSft wummuia rr generated in going from one point to another of fhe same level, by undulating fin. sthe railwayl hat excess ot momentum will carry the load to I greater height than than the momentum which the same power woujd generate on a level rail- way. 4 , $ j-' j- These facts have been illustrated by a small model on a wooden- railwav in the-Adelaide Street exhibition-room. We have ourselves at that place instituted the following experiments; wittt tne results here detailed. The moving power was a spiral main 'spring ' regulated by a usee : a load v as placed on a I level railway of Such an amount that the moving power was Jbarely able to-overcome the friction but incapable of movintr the load. In this state the carriage and load were transferred to the undulating rail- Way, and the same moving power impelled the load with ease and with considerable velocity Umoa and the CtonstitntioL was "iist ihe l.!-!6."0"? riuary loasthatnwybeasf thirierland when hp tallrM ,Ut il.jaea Py W owners colonial estates, by 5fiS k.n utA?

I : Althourrh cnon tho wtmla i.m.i persuaUonof the ultimata adTirtiiofr-'' jectj yet we can see many practical ill which will require not, only expanse; m V" fcW wvercwine from one end to tbe other , and lest any differ ence of level should exist between the extremi ties, we caused the same experiment to be made ; i j til- i- ' jj in uie conirarv uireciion, wmcn was aiienaca with precisely the same result. Hence, it was evident that, at least with the model, a pow er incapable of transferring th load between two tjninta at riven distance on a IrvfI railwsc. tranufprrpd the same load with facilitv and dps- patch through the same distance on theundula- nog railway. Our second exnerimeht was as follows !We loaded the caniage in the same manner ou the level railway, so that the power was barely able . ia m to tne tricuoo, out mcapaoie ot moving tne load We then transferred the power and load to a railway, the remota extremity of which rose above the nearer extremity at the rate of one inch in eight feet. The power which wai thus incapable of moving the I load on the level, easily transferred the eame load from end to end of the undulating railway, and at the Same time actually raised it through one Perpendicular inch, for every ninety six inches 4 its progress along the horizontal line. H , Among the scientific men who have witnessed what indeed appears at first to be the case, tha the result is contrary to the established prlnci plea of mechanics. We do cot perceive, howe ver, any difficulty in the phenomenon. ' s The efTecUre impelling power when a I load is tracked nrtoti a "railwav. must ba estimated hv the exces3 of the actual impelling power above the friction. ; Now, it is well known that the friction being proportional to the pressure, is less on an inclined than on ahorizoatal railway. The same impelling power which oa the level railway, is only equal to the fncti'in. and there fore incapable of accelerating the load, becomes effective on the inclined railway, where it is greater than the friction. The excess therefore becomes a means of generating velocity, so that when the load arrives at tbe extremity of the undulaUng line, a quantity of velocity has been communicated to it, which if proportional to the excess of the friction oa the undulating above the friction on the level liae This u TheoretiJ cally speaking, a decided ad tuideniable advan tage which the inclined railway possesses over the lerel. ; We could make the point still more dear, if we wo were addressing citheaiatical readers.
