Travellers were nervous when they first ven
,ured on a railway where the speed was at the
rate Of twenty miles per hour, yc, now that is con-
slercd ,ediousIy SLOW.
There is one remarkable fact which we wish
to impress upon the public before concluding
whithis,,hai the expense Of working by locomotive

i,ciiy INCREASE therefore to the first mode there
/. .onn termination the second is only limited BY
the speed nj which men dare travel.
To the great eSertion Of Mr.. James PIN, jr,
Of Dublin. tho world is indebted for bringing the
atmospheric system forward without his aid
Yeas nigh, have elapsed before The public would
have 5cen aware Of the advantage 10 be derived
f.on a., inv. ntion as. however, j, IS now before
the public ii remains for them to decide how
much time sh,l intervene before the interest in
volvel in tho existing railway shall give place to
this new anl improved system.
Since the above was in type, we learn that the
experiment on the Kingstown and Oakley line
conducted by Gen. Paisley, r. E., !. Bruel, Esq.
and NJ Mailc, were mos, satisfactory. On one
oecns on gross load ofsiuy seven tons was pro-
pellod mp m incline Of | in 100 at the rate Of
twenty-five miles per hour After The transit of
the carriages, the mercury gague at each end Of
the pipe was twenty four and a half inches. AZ
forwards, load OF thlny.fve tons was propelled
n, rate OF fifty miles per hour.
