It appears that some time since Gould was wounded in the bead, and ever since has been of a very jealous disposition, though there does not appear to have been the slightest ground fur his suspicion.

The design was first formed in 1833; and the first law for carrying it into ef fect passed the lesislature on the first of May, 1834. Un like our English railways the Belgian lines are all con structed at the public expense, and placed under the di rection of the government. The first project that re ceived the legislative sanction embraced the execution of a railroad having Mechlin. or Malines, as its centre, and extending on the east towards the frontiers of Prussia, by Louvaine, Liege, and Verviers ; on the north towards Antwerp, and on the west towards Ostend, by Dender mond. Ghent, and Bruges, and on the south towards Brussels and the frontiers of France, by Hainault. In 1837 another law was passed, ordering the construction, in addition to the project of 1834, of a line from Ghent to the frontiers of France —towards Lille by Roubaix— :- ing near to Courtray, with a transverse line to Tournay, and providing also for connecting, with the system este blished by the law of 1834. the provinces of Namur, Lim burg, and Luxembourg, by other lines. The first section that was completed was the line from Brussels to Ma lines, which was opened in May, 1835; and the second from Malenes to Antwerp, opened in the May following thus, in two years from the passing of the law, opening out a communication by railway between the two princi pal citit sof the kingdcm. The whole length of the lines determined upon was about 137 leagues ; and of this up wards of 120 leagues have been opened, comprising the entire of the Belgi fn territory, east and west, from the Prussian frontier to Ostend. The lines are well laid out ; the arches are admirably executed ; and the traffic through out is creditably managed. Some portions of the . line eastward, particularly from Liege to Verviers, shew great engineering skill, difficulties having been overcome appa rently quite as great as any that have had to be encoun tered in England. There were, at first, four descriptions of vehicles employed by passengers—berlines, diligences, chars-a-banes, and wagons; the berlines, however, have been merged in the diligences. They now answer to our first, second, and third-class carriages; and they are even more complete and comfortable in their accommodations. The diligences have a sort of vestibule, from which there is ingress to separate and spacious apartments, handsomely fitted up. The chars-a-bane consist principally of one large apartment, entirely covered in, with comfortable and well arranged seats ; and the wagons are open cars, quite equal to the best of our third-class carriages. In th' wagons smoking is p erm itt e d, an d this privilege, v found, induced many persons, in fine weather, to pre' them to either the diligences or the chars-a-banes. locomotive engines appeared to be well enough ce- ted, though they did not give us the same degree. that we have in England ; and in one or two instances the sparks from the chimneys are excessive, and the source or considerable annoyance.—Ransay's Rhine.
