performed at the
rate of upwards of seventy miles per hour, and the following
mile was accomplished in twelve seconds, the wl:ole being at
a velocity of seventy miles an hour. It is, indeed, aliios,
unnecessary to add that this is the greatest speed ever at-
tained by a locomotive engine. At the conclusion of the
last-mentioned quarter the power was reduced to its ordintoy
rate of working. It should be stated that the trial was made
on a falling gradient of four feet per mile. The power of the
engine was tested a second time, while passing over a level.
The steam was cut off at 13i inches, and the rate was found
to be 60 miles per hour. It is expected that a greater speed
will be attained with the eight-wheeled engines, which are
now being constructed by the Great Western Company, at
their Swindon establiehmeut.

"These volumes conclude this very interesting work. The most
valuable portion, although net, perhaps, the most interesting, is that
in which the Count records the opinions of Napoleon upon events
in which he had himseh been a prominent actor. These records are
most valuable, as elucidations of the conduct of the Emperor in posi-
tions in which history has either misconstrued him, or been at fault
to assign the true motives of his actiuns."—sa eekly Chronicle.
