TROTTING IN HARNESS.—Thursday a match to
trot in harness two miles for U. aside came off near Tottenham-•
cross, between two horses, belonging to Messrs. Wilkins and Roe, of
the City. They were driven by their respective owners, Roe taking
the lead, and maintaining it for the first mile, which was trotted In
three minutes and thirty-two seconds ; they kept on at a steady
pace the next half mile, when they were alongside each other, and the
race then commenced. Roe sprung his horse, which immediately
broke out to a gallop, and was pulled in and turned • his op,.o.ient
then had the race in his own hands, and went in die winner by a
hundred and fifty yards. The two miles were accomplished in seven

minutes, and six seconds.
SAFETY Dooß CHECK TO RAILWAY CARRIAGES.—
There have been lately some narrow escapes owing to the doors of
railway carriages fly ing open, when leased against, in consequence
of defects iu the locks which fasten them. In the carriages on the
Hague and Rotterdam Railway, as we have had occasion to witness,
this is entirely prevented by very simple means. In addition to the
usual lock, each door is provided with a stout bolt or lever working
on a join:, 'watch when the door is closed, drops into a socket attached
to the door-;acing. This simple apparatus provides an almost certain
preventative against accidents from the cause we have mentioned, -
and ought, therefore, to be adopted on all railways.—Scottish Rail- •
Nay Gazelle.
BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN JUNCTION
Ren.way.—We are glad to f.,id that Barnet, once the most cele-
brated posting town around London, and which has suffered so much
front raiways, has now a fair prospect of compei sation. A direct
railway communication between the northern districts of the
metropolis end Barnet has been proposed by influential parties,
and has test with very general support, more especially
from the inhabitants of that town. In fact, it is the only
chance of saving it from ruin. The line will proceed beyond the •
range of the Highgate and Hampstead hills, through a populous dis-
trict, and out ce the range of the metropolitan omnibuses, and connect -
Barnet not only with London and the various railways south of the
Thames, but else with the numerous towns and villages that He to
the north of London. According to the engineers' report there arc no
engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
