'HE FIRST RAILWAYS AND THEIR OPPONENTS:—
When Jacquard, the inventor of the wonderful loom that
bears his name, was arrested and carried to Paris, witlihia.-
machine, Carnot, in the presence of Napoleon, roughly-
said to him, " Are you the man that pretends to do th.i.
iinnossibility—to tie a knot in o,stretcLed string ?"
r----daiiiptirri ors-or tyons,-Thiqffliiossabiltty- being stircncunteck.
• broke his machines in /806, and raised a statue to his me-
mory in 1840. All those who are in advance of prebEr
opinion must bear ridicule or persecution. In 1825., the-
Quarterly Review thus ridiculed the notion of certain ea--
gineers, Telford amongst the number, that a railway en-
gine could go eighteen or twenty miles an hour : r The
gross exaggerations of the powers of the locomotivestectit.
engine, or, to speak English, the steam carriage, may de-
lude for a time, but must end in the mortification of.thosa
concerned . We should as soon expect the people
of Woolwich to suffer themselves to be fired off upon one.
of Congreve's ricochet rockets, as trust themselves to the
mercy of such a machine, going at such a rate." In that
year, the common belief was that railways were altogether
-
delusions and impositions. The Liverpool and Mancheee
ter Railway was opposed in Parliament with ele:y form, el-
invective. One member, in 1825, declared his opiniCek-
" that a railway could not enter into successful competi-
tion with a canal. Even with the best locomotive engine
the average rate would be but three miles and a half per--
hour, which was slower than the canal conveyance."`
(Hansard, 2nd series, vol. iv. p. 853.) Another assertinne.
which Mr. lluskisson was obliged to meet doubtfully ata
apologetically, was, " that there were two or three canals
which were sufficient for every purpose of commerce in:
the districts through which the'railway was to pass." Let
us he just to what we have been accustomed to decry aa-
the dark ages. Let us be tolerant to those who impri-
soned Galileo, and rewarded Columbus with chains. lEf:-
there be a reality in any discovery—a true thing, and not
a sham.—if there be strength, or utility, or beauty, in ally-
work of mind,—it will live and fructify, whatever critizse
or orators, or inquisitors, • or even kings, may do team:de
it. And so it is with railways. On the 15th Sept-mbar,.
1830, the first passenger line, the Liverpool and Man-
chester Railway, was opened. The conveyance of pasaerr-
gers appears originally to have been an inferior considerre
t! on to the conveyance of goods; end the Directors-sno-.
dottly anticipated that one half of the passengers traveling:
by coaches between the two towns merht venture oa t
railway. In the first year after the opening there veers
e3nveyed four hundred and forty-five
.412011.assengers 5,7,
sand Passea-
rzers ; in the year ending let July, 184& the p
conveyed amounted to eight hundred and ninety-seviact.,.
thousand. - On the 24th April, /847, there has gee .a

seventy-eight millions sterling; and in the last week tfi4 -
a geTegate receipt. upon these railways was one httrireilE-

and goods.—The Land tee .Live
