S)UTH DEVON RAILWAY.

This line of railway, the opening of which from
various causes has been so long delayed, and which was
originally intended to have been worked upon the atmos-
pheric principle, was on Saturday opened as a locomotive
line. The day was a remarkably fine one, and was
c lebrated as a holvday along the course of the line,
which runs through a most picturesque and romantic
portion of the country. The line, starting from Exeter,
passes aloeg some meadows and follows the course of the
Exe, giving some magnificent views of the city of Exeter,
the extensive estuary of the Exe, the towns of Topsham,
Lympstone, and Exmouth in the distance. On the other
side of the river, as you progress along the line, are seen
Powderham-park and castle, the seat of his Grace the
Duke of Devonshire. After passing the Starcross-station,
the appearance of the line becomes still more romantic,
for you are carried apparently through the sea, the line
running close to the mouth of the Exe ; it then runs
into a very deep cutting through the Langstone cliffs,
which are seen towering upwards of 100 feet above you.
After passing Dawlish, you come to that portion of the
line in the construction of which, running close as l&
does along the sea-beach, so many difficulties have been
encountered, and where in the most assailable part an
immense buttress has been built to protect the line from
irruptions of the sea. Having passed over the beach
at Dawlish, and through several tunnels, you arrive
at Teignmouth, which is sufficiently well known as one
of the most delightful watering places upon the western
coast of England. The first train, with the directors,
&c., among whom we perceived Lord Courtenay,
Samuda, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Henett, Mr. Gibbs, chairman
of the a istol and Exeter Railway, Mr. Saunders, secre-
tary of the Great Western Railway, &c., left Exeter at
25 minutes after 12 o'clock, being loudly cheered on it,*
departure, and during the whole course of its progress,
by the assembled multitude, and arrived at Teignmouth
soon after 1 o'eock. The line appear, dtobe in a capital
state, the carriages passing over it very smoothly, an
with but little oscillation. By this opening the metro.-
polis is connected directly with Teignmouth, without anY
ce-sity for changing the carriages, the Great Western,
Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon, being all of them
constructed upon the broad gauge principle.
