strong. The betters against and hackers of, Paganini, are so cquallyi
divided, that he keeps in the same position assigned to him for the;,l
last fortnight. The Sister to Green Mantle, however, although no-fi'l
minally half a point worse, and hacked as yet for a trifle only, is al- 1
most, if not quite, as good a favourite. Osprey has several friends.

COAL HOLE TAVERN, STRAND.—This old esta-
blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con-
tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night,
by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say, evince
the highest gratification from the well conducted and unril
vaned convivial meetings. The singing ;e, as it
has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of the
choicest quality.

- - The first journey on the London and Birmingham!'
Railroad was made on Thursday afternoon, when the directors,
accompanied by the engineer, the architect, and three of the;
non-resident directors from Liverpool, started from the station'
at Euston-square with a locomotive engine and a train of car-
riages, and proceeded to Boxmoor, near Hemel Hempstead,
being a distance of twenty-five miles from town. We consideri,
this as an event of so much importance in the progress of our.,
civilization, and as giving such an accelerated impulse to Oct
march of social improvement and the increase of our national.
wealth, by the facility and rapidity of communication which its!
affords, that we are glad to have been furnished with somei
particulars of the journey. The train started from the station.
between one and two o'clock, and as it was intended to be
trial of the carriages, and in some sort a tour of inspection on
the part of the directors, the engine was not forced to great.,
speed on the road from London. The tunnel under Primrose-,,,
hill, which is three quarters of a mile long, was passed through:
in a minute and fifty seconds on departing from town, but in._
returning it was passed in a minute and a half. When it W'!.,
recollected that the late Mr. Rennie, who was, perhaps, the 7A
most eminent engineer of his day, failed in makingi a tunnel
through Highgate-hill, owing to the difficulties he had to con-1
tend with, some idea may be formed of the improvement which ',.;',4
lists taken place in modern engineering, and the genius and re-. 1
sources of Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer of this rai4
road, who had the like difficulties to overcome at Primrose-a
hill. The train stopped at Watford in going and returning,4
and remained for half an hour at Boxmoor. In coming back le
they travelled at the rate of thirty miles an hour along a con- N
siderable portion of the line ; so that little more than half an ,
hour will be, we imagine, the time required to go to Watford.'`'!,
Tbi rail road is a stupendous undertaking, and does vast,6,
credit to the talents of the engineer.
