PNEUMATIC DESPATCH COMPANY.—The report of
the directors of this company states that previous to the
meeting in January last, the directors reported that the
delay in the carrying out of the Holborn viaduct would '
render it necessary for the tube to be carried under the
existing streets and over the Fleet sewers, which it was
hoped would have been avoided by the construction of the
viaduct ; and pending the consideration and final settle.
went of these points, the directors had determined to test
the oust and facility of working by a series of carefully
recorded experiments which were then in progress.
Those experih.ents having now been fully carried out, the
directorsare perfectly satisfied with the results, from
which it appear. that 120 tone of goods can be passed
throngh the tube per hour, at the rate of eighteen miles an
hour, at the cost of under Id. a ton per mile. The
directors have also ascertained from stetistieal information
furnished them by the directors of the London and North
Western Railway Company, that the line of tube, when
completed, will return a large per tentage on the capital
expended on its construction. After such satisfactory
results, the directors made overtures to the London and
North Western Railway Company is assist them in com-
pleting the line, whisk overtures were most favourably
received, and the directors are now waiting foe an answer
, from Easton.
PALACE.—Specimens of the Atlantic
amble of bat year gad this year will be on view at the
