LIVERPOOL AND MANCRESTER RAILWAY.—WC have

provision of Vie Act of last Session, " for the regulation
of Railways," which imposes any penalty not exceeding
101.. upon any aery tot of a railway company who is
guilty of negligence or rnisemduct. A servant of the
L'verpool and Manchester Railway Company was yes-
tei-day b ought before Charles Bi-c:', Esq., one cf our
County Magistrates, charged with having neg'ected t
tarn in the proper direction ce tun points or switches,
enacting the Liverpool and Manchester and Grand
joeuiction lines at Newton. The man's name was John
Bate, and be was fined 3/, and costs; but as he pleaded
guilty, the pariculsrs of the case were not gone into. It
was stated in the room, how

THE mANcligsTgli AND LEEDS RAILWAY
THROUGHOUT.—NOVEL RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The Sim_
rin-
snit Tunnel, the only portion of this Railway which _
tnained unopenei, tat ing completed, this line was opened
throughout on Monday morning last, when the D-
irectors and their friends, and a few of the print--1
pal shareholders, stared in a special train from
the Manchester station in Oldham-road. The train con-
ei,t2d of two carriages, both being of an entirely new con-
struction, but somewhat different from each other. The
body of one of them is about 18 feet by 7, and is 6 feat
inches high. There is a compartment in the centre
seven feet square, and it is built after the fashion of a'gon-
dan. The interior of this compartment is flee! up with
%Undid mahogany sofas, limed with crimson plush, and
teieiteol with silk gymp, and the top part above the sofa
boxes is composed cf plate glass with silk curtains. The
two cod compartments aro open above ; but a curtain made
aof waterproof fabric can be drawn down at pleasura to
screen the passengers from the rain, so that in these
carriages a person may enjoy all the comforts of a first-
class carriage, and, at the same time, be enabled to
survey the country through which be is passing. The
other carriage, the Touri t, is similar in its
general
a..rangemcws, but is fitted up differently. Theiec.r-
lieges, which were made by Mr. 'Melling of Green-
he,s, are adapted for summer travelling% there are
but two of them, and they are merely tor an eire-
rimeot. The fares in them will, we understand, l'be
the same as in the first class carriages. The train
proceeded rapidly; the average ?peed
maintained,
exclusive of stoppages, which were very fiequent,
be,t,gs thirty miles an hour. At the Summit Tunnel Viey
were jciacd by a band of music. The regular passenger
and goods trains commenced running on Monday morn-
kngt ani several trains passed thiough the tunnel before
tne spccial train which conveyed the directors and their
friends...-Leeds Me curl.
