The following extract of a letter from Eng
land to gentleman Of this place, will show
to some extent the anticipations of the people
in England, of the power of steam and the inn
provcments in travelling facilities:
You will be interested in hearing some.
thing about the railways in this Kingdom
They now travel in the first class of coaches
in about an hour from Manchester to Liver
pool, say SO miles, and line will be opened
from Manchester and Liverpool to Birming-
ham in the month of June, and the journey
will be performed (between 80 and 80 miles)
in four hours. The Birmingham and London
rail way will not be completed before June,
1888, and it is then calculated they will travel
from Manchester and Liverpool to London in
nine hours---nearly 200 miles. There is no
doubt but that after little experience, the time
will be reduced one half; as few months ago
the journey from Manchester to Liverpool took
up an hour and half, and is now performed
easily in an hour. Such is the mighty power
ofsteam, nsw even though, ,c be in its infsn-

personal feelings merely, would not again
leave my home on public business of this kind,
but when you assure me, as you do, that my
resignation at this time would in all probabili-
ty, operate as dereliction Of duty to my con-

of my own immediate and personal friends, l
feel myself compelled to make my own incon-
venience give way TO my duty to my friends,
to whom owe so much.
At your solicitation, gentlemen. have con-
cluded, therefore, to write to the Governor inn
