Sunday Trains in Scotland.

On Sunday, in accordance with the public announce-
ments, three passenger trains were run each way on tho
Edinburgh and Glasgow section of the North British
Railway, and the results so far show that these trains are
likely to be appreciated and used by the public, while the
number, respectable appearance, and quiet and orderly de-
meanour of the passengers, prove, at the same time, the
utter groundlessness of the fears professed in certain
quarters. The first ordinary train from Edinburgh, which
left at 8 o'clock, took about seventy passengers of all
classes, set down and took up passengers at the inter-
mediate stations, and arrived in Glasgow with about sixty
passengers. The express train, in continuation of the
night express from London, left at 9 a.m., with several
passengers who had booked through from England to
Glasgow, and about twenty other passengers who booked
at Edinburgh. The evening parliamentary train from
Edinburgh started with rather a larger number of passen-
gers than the morning parliamentary train.- The ordinary
train from Glasgow in the morning brought nearly a hun-
dred passengers, many of whom, however, were persons
from short distances, apparently going to church. The
second ordinary train at night, arriving in Edinburgh
shortly after seven o'clock, brought about 120 passengers,
besides setting down and taking up at all the stations.
The night express train from Glasgow, which arrived here
at ten o'clock, conveyed about 30 passengers to Edin-
burgh, and nine or ten through passengers. In the two
ordinary trains each way there were all classes of passen-
gers, but the greater proportion travelled third class. All
the passengers were highly respectable in appearance
and behaviour. The only appearance of anything
like Sabbath desecration, and the only symptoms of any-
thing like disorder, arose out of the loud denunciations of
three street-preachers, who about six o'clock gathered a
large crowd of people around them opposite the entrance
to the station, to hear them holding forth against Sunday
trains with more noise and gesture than sense or effect.
Pointing to the train that starts about six o'clock, one of
the preachers—an old man, with two boards hanging on
his shoulders, walking advertisement fashion, on which
were printed, "Testimony against the Edinburgh and
Glasgow apostate Railway Company," and several Scrip-
ture texts—cried out, " There they go to hell at a penny
a mile." Cries of " Shame," " Over the bridge with him,"
loud :cheers, groans, and laughter followed this remark.
After denouncing the railway company and the people
who travelled by the Sunday trains in the most extrava-
gant terms, the preacher got the length of abusing the
Scotsman. It was characterised as " that ungodly paper
the Scotsman," " that graceless newspaper," &c., and woe
unutterable was graciously prophesied as its doom. We
are sorry to say that the crowd, excited by these observa-_
tions, gave us a cheer. The well-known cabman, who
frequents the races with placards containing Scripture
texts, next delivered a harangue against the Sunday
trains; and the crowd, by way of commentary on his re-
marks, got up a cheer at every cab that passed, and erica
of " What about the cabs ?" About seven o'clock the
cro ivd increased, and the bridge was almost impassable.
The preachers, as they warmed with their work, began to
make personal remarks, selecting some one of the crowd,
and shouting out, " There's a young servant of the devil,',
or, " Young man, you are a servant of the devil," &c.
The crowd at this began to jostle the poor preachers and
kick the "advertising boards," and two or three more dar-
ing youths rather ill-used the old man's hat. He natu-
rally got angry at this, and vented his rage by crying out,.
" The devil's a coward, and so are you his servants !
man, apprehend them !" The crowd laughed heartily and
cheered ; but as the only policeman who appeared on the
scene did not choose to apprehend any of " the servants of
the devil," the preachers went away, and the crowd after-
wards quietly dispersed.--Scotsman.

PROSPECTUS.
, The Transatlantic Steamship Company (Limited) is
Lernied under the auspices of the important Interests con-
11.,cted with Southampton, for the purpose of establishing
ne of first-class Passenger and Carge Steamships be-
rec Southampton and New York, for which there is now
a
admitted necessity.
Southampton, from \its central position, its close proxi-
-1112..tY to London and the Continental ports, its safe and easy
mess in all states of the tide, possesses unrivalled advan-
es for the American trade.
be Southampton route to America is very imperfectly
fiarved by the present line of steamships under foreign
ge, Which touch at Southampton from Uamburgh and
k erase
on their way to New York, and clear out with im-
64se freights of German, French, and British manufac-
arl and largo numbers of passengers of all classes, and
A eminently successful.
a line of steamers under the British flag between South-
.7ll‘oll and New York direct would bring very large im-
Lrtations of American butter, cheese, bacon, pork, flour,
;",„rd, oil-cake, and other articles of practically unlimited
laaareption ; and such goods would be delivered in the
4don market in the best 'condition, in 11 days from New
trz, at moderate through rates of freight.
h.:be Transatlantic Steamship Company therefore pro-
ae in the first instance to provide for a regular fortnightly
p:lrice between Southampton and New York, by means of
tial.ew steamships of 3,500 to 4,000 tons burthen, to perform
107, voyages within ten days, and each capable of carrying
:v, first-class, 120 second, and 600 steerage passengers,
la 2,000 tons freight; added to which will be the Conti-
-144tal service between Southampton, Antwerp, and other
66gthern Continental ports. Two screw steamers of about
tons; eaeh will be necessary for this purpose.
and he Directors propose to avail themselves in the design
men so
of the ships of the most modern improve-
tr'llta, so that the utmost speed may be obtained and the
keatest amount of available space for cargo and passengers
fuel ared, together with economy in the consumption of
bil'ending the construction of the necessary ships, the
at rectors will be in a position, if needful, to open the traffic
be aa early date by means of existing steamers, which may
Viartered or purchased for the service.
botvbe Company Atlantis contemplated arrangements on
sides of the c, will command facilities possessed
BY„ u,c, other line of American steamers. At the port of
Caleampton important advantages are secured ; the
and South-Western Railway Company and the South-
fen'lPtcn Dock Company have adopted a liberal tariff in
:eur of this Company, and will promote its success by
/..Lel.3' means. Through rates of freight from Antwerp,
,afTe, London, and Southampton will convey merchandise
LarePean origin, not only for the supply of the New
cair4 market, but to the whole area of railway communi-
au comprising the chief cities of the United Stat.ee.
tte There can be no doubt but that the proposed line of
itmaratire will be highly remunerative. The calculations
a by parties of admitted experience have been based
jnon the existing trade only, without regard to that largely
eraaaing development which the restoration of peace must
trtably bring with it.
ble4;,be Proposed capital is considered adequate for the im-
ti Purposes of the New York service ; but as opera-
teataua in connection with the Southern ports are also con-
tuivPlated, the Directors will take advantage promptly of
°Paning that may arise to establish a line to a South-
so Pert, by steamers expressly. adapted for that service,
ateaecu as circumstances may justify the step. A line of
viiiara communication between the continent of Europe,
Southampton, and a port in the Southern States must
and :nntually becomeo a commercial necessity of the first class,
