The ATMOSPHERIC RAILwAY.-The London Me-
chanics Magazine Of October lS43, says
Another trial Of the Atmospheric Railway,
which is now nearly completed between Dublin and
Oakley, on the plan of Messrs. Clegg s. Samuda,
took place last week. when the results obtained were
even more satisfactory and surprising than before
We have seen letter from gentleman who was
present, who states that the speed attained fully
sixty miles hour and that all parts of the. machi-
merry worked with great exactness 1t would seem as
if we might now almost venture to pronounce the
days of the steam railway as numbered. A speed Of
mile minute is great stride beyond the pres
en railway speed as that was beyond the stage coach
rate Of twenty years ago"
