On Friday Mr. Moore made an experiment with his new constructed coach. He has hung the body, which is like that of a common coach reversed, between two large wheels, nine feet six inches in the diameter and draws it with a horse in shafts. The passengers sit sideways within and the driver is placed on the top of the coach. Eight persons were drawn in this carriage on Friday night with great ease, by a single horse.

Mr. Moore's new invented coach, drawn by one horse, and on the same principles, with his cart, went to Highgate last Saturday in 40 minutes, with six persons in it. The passengers get in and out behind the coach.
