The asphaltic concrete patented for use on tramways and railways by Meesrs Harper and Dennison was tested here yesterday, and withstood a much greater tensile strain and crushing weight than the best samples of cement concrete. It is probable that a new patent will be issued in the several towns in the colony shortly.
