We understand that it is the intention of Miss
Cushman, the eminent American tragedian, to return
this autumn to her native land. A sojourn of nearly
five years on this side of the Atlantic, marked with
the most brilliant and permanent successes, sends this
gifted artist back to the scenes of her early profes-
sional struggles, not alone with the stamp of Euro-
pean fame upon her genius, universally as that has
been accorded, but with the warm admiration and
respect of enlightened circles, who, seeking the artist,
found the woman yet more worthy of homage and
esteem. Miss Cushman's family having finally settled
in England, we are happy to learn that her stay in
America will be but for a time, and we cannot doubt
that the warmth of her reception here, where she
came unheralded and unknown, will find an echo in
the cities of her native country, where the trumpet-
blast of fame has long enshrined her as the greatest
actress of the age. Miss Cushman will be accom-
panied by her friend, the novelist and translator,
Matilda M. Hays, from whom we shall look for
fresh tidings of the New World.

NORTH KENT RAILWAY,--In connexion with the.
intended siege operations at Chatham, it may be men-
tioned that arrangements had been made for the opening
of the North Kent line of the South-Eastern Railway
from Plumstead to Rochester on the 30th instant, and
the Government Inspector had made an appointment to
go down the line on Friday evening, the 29th, to perso-
nally satisfy himself that it was in a finished state for
passenger traffic. The unavoidable postponement of the
siege operations will enable the line to be opened to its
entire length, and aflord her Majesty an opportunity of
witnessing the grand scenes at Chatham when they take
place—the Queen having expressed a desire to be pre-
sent, if conveyance by a special train on the railway
could have been effected, and which there is no doubt
will now be accomplished to the entire satisfaction of
her Majesty.

A TREAD-WIIEILED COACH.—We have already
forvvh the complete inversion of the railway
eels on the sideway and rails on the
otrfai--.so that. no one need now be surprised to hear
.en inversion of the old jog-trot highway system,
with the horses riding in the 'coach, while the pas-
sengers are harnessed to the axle. Such is literally
the fact alleged to have been recently realised in Ohio,
United States, where a single broad wooden wheel or
roller, 14 feet in diameter and 6 feet in breadth, has
been fitted up with tread-boards for the horses within,
and an axle whence s-ats are suspended for
twenty-four passengers. Iron stays stretch from each
axle upwards, and meet above in a seat for the
driver, who, it would appear, can turn about and
wheel about as quick as Jim Crow, or at least much
quicker than a coach and six. We should prefer seeing
it running straight on up-hill, however. Two heavy
draught horses, it is said, can easily bowl along two
dozen passengers (on a level, we presume), at the rate
of one dozen miles per hour, and win easy too, their
work on the tread-mill
