TURIN AND GENOA RAILWAY.—A Turin journal gives
some details of the inauguration of this like. The train
left Turin on the 6th at half-past nine, and, after stop-
ping at nine stations, arrived at Genoa at half-past one.
The same train which left Genoa the next day with one
of the locomotives of Mr. Stephenson was only nine
minutes in performing 6,000 metres (nearly four English
miles) on a radius of curves of 400 metres, and a rise of
35 per 1.000 from Ponte Decimo to the tunnel of the
Giovi. The passage through this tunnel, which is 3,300
metres in length, with a rise of 29 per 1,000 was made
in six minutes. The time ocupied from Genoa to Turin
was four hours, as from Turin to Genoa, being at the
rate of forty-one kilometres (about 26 English miles)
per hour.
