LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—We un-
derstand that the experiments, with a view to ascertain the
degree of vibration caused by the passing of a train of
carriages, will be made on the London and Greenwich
Railway on Monday next, at two o'clock. These experi-
ments have been requested to be made by the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty, in order to determine the ques-
tion as to the effect of the Gra% esend trains on the Royal
Observatory, a subject which has lately so much occupied
the attention of the scientific world.

JAN. 21.—0 n Monday there was a con-
cert at a distinguished amateur's, Madame Merlin's, and
a grand dinner at Sir C. and Lady Ogle's, which the Dukc
of Devonshire and other distinguished guests attended.
On the smile day, Prince de Talleyrand (who continues in
a very weak state) was also to give a dinner to Lord and
Lady Granville, the Duke and. Duchess of Sutherland,
Lord and Lady Carlisle, and other -persons of note, but
was compelled to put it off owing to the death'of the Du-
chess de Valencay's, daughter. On Tuesday'there was a
grand reception at the Duchess de Broglie's, and a ball at
the Countess d'Estourmes. Yesterday the Minister of
Public Instruction, M. Guizot, gave a concert. To-day I
am not aware of anything going on, which is probably
owing in great measure to its being the anniversary of the
murder of Louis XVI. To-morrow there is a soire at
Lady Granville's, and a ball at the Duchess de Broglie's.
On Saturday there is to be another grand ball at the
Tuileries.

The curlers on Mr. Carule's
artificial pond at
Largs have had eight days fine curling, notwithstanding the
mildness of the climate there, and its proximity to the sea.
The ice was as true as the best billiard table.
