We understand the nuptials of Lady Elizabeth
Howard, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Carlisle, and
the lion. F. Grey, son of Earl Grey, are fixed to take place
in the course of next mouth, at Castle Howard, the seat of the
former Noble Earl, in Yorkshire. The Duke and Duchess of
Sutherland, Earl and Countess Grey, Duke of Devonshire,
Lady' Dover and Lord Clifden, Viscount Leveson, and other
members of both families, are expected to be present at the
solemnization.

POWER OF CO-OPERATlON.—Travellers on
the continent justly regard the famous military road of the Sim-
plon, constructed across the Alps by the orders of Napoleon, as
the grandest achievement of the kind in Europe. It is 45 mil s
in length, passes over a mountain 6,174 feet above the level of
the sea, and rises on each side with a uniform inclination of 2V,
inches in every six feet, or 1 in 29 : it has 50 bridges and five
tunnels, the latter measuring together 1,338 feet. in length. But
even this stupendous work falls far short of the North Midland
Railway. The latter is 721,4 miles in length, has upwards of
200 bridges, and seven tunnels, measuring together 11,400
feet in length (nearly 21 miles.) The cost of the Simplon
road was 16,000,000 francs (720,000/. sterling), but that of the
North Midland will approach to 3,000,000/. And whilst the
expense of the Simplon route was defrayed from the treasuries
of two great kingdoms, France and Italy, and the work was
executed on the decree of the most powerful monarch of mo-
dern times, and completed within six years. the more magnifi-
cent enterprise of the North Midland has been accomplizhed
by a company of private merchants and capitalists, out of their
own funds, and under their own superintendence, and within
the brief space of little more than three years. Such is the
p;w,r of co-operation
