RAIL-ROXI)S,-Tht,- great obstacles which havc hitherto existed with regard to the formation oJ rail-roads are now likely to be oyercome. A steam carriage, possessing powers far beyond any ever before exhibited, hilS lately been in vented by Mr. W. it. James of Birmingham.. The princi- pal superiority of Mr. James's carriage consists in its power of ascending acclivities, and thus doing away with the necessity of forming rail- roads upon dead levels, as has hitherto been tlu- uniform-practice. Heretofore it has been found impracticable for tocomotive engines to ,ascend any h ills of greater elevation than, ten or fifteen feet in the mile, with any considerable burthen attaclieti to ttieni but Mr. James's models ran ascend elevations of one yard in twelve, or of 440 reet ilI Jlw mile. with perfect ease. and the simple machine with which this is accmnplished is attend- ed with no waste of power. The enormousexjwiice of levelling the couti,.rv foi- itie forniatjon of rail- roads. and which has beellfound such as nearly to strangle the rail-road system in its. will ths be almostentirelv saved. The present liajah of Mysore's elpphant car- riage. is probably the most inagnijic.ent convey" ance ever seen. Its interior is a double sofa for six persons. covered with dark ren,velyt and gold;, aWuiug ofwcloJth of gold, in the>!fepe of two small scoll^pM^oouis^ ing ovei* the ceiim?; "a'ftff sinrouuijed w richly, Moamen tveranrla suj»poi tt, I bv ligllt,'>iegant., fluted gilt pillars the 'who I* is -«af»ab1e of coo- tanning about si ,x ty persons, mid is abrmt tweiity- two feet in height, It moves on four wfleels, the hinder ones eight feet in tUamvter; with a breadth oftwel v-e (étH between them., It is drawn by six immense elephants, with a driver on each, harnessed to the carriage by traces, as in Engv land, and their huge/heads covered with a sort of cap made of richty eiiibroidered4clofh. The pace at wh/sh li ymove is a slow trot, ofabolit seven miles an hour; they are very steady, lind the spiings.otthe carriage particularly easy.: As it is,crane-necked, the elephants .turn round with 'It' with tjie.greatest facility. The shape of the body is extremely elegant, rese/nbling a flat scol- lop-shell, and painted dark-green and gold. The elephants are nn exact match, and of an enormous size. The whole was constructed by native workmen, assisted by one half-caste Frenchman, Urtder the immediate directions of the Rajah. An eminent, physician, who will be recognised by those who know that his devotion to ttie-bottle exceeds his attention to the phial. was a: few evenings since, summoned to a ft en a a-lady at the W.H.I end of the tOWII. who liad been taken ill.- The doctor was enjoying the society of a con- vivial party, and drank much more freely than usual. On arriving, in his carriage, at the house of his patient, he was ushered into a parlour, where the lady was reclining on a sofa, attended by a female. He proceeded to examine her pulse, aiifl having felt it for some time, he found him- self incapable of forming any judgment on her on which he muttered, in aUsionohis i^wn inebriated state. drunk,drunk, on my honour!" lie soon retired, and it was expected that he would immediately send a prescription, P! but none Ciiine.

He had a boat in attundauce all the ■ way, so that no danger could be apprehended, ev^h if his strength had failed. HisLordhil) records, in a small poem, that he got the ague^bv tjiij; voyage but it Was well known, that when he landed, lie was so much exhausted, that he gladly took the oft'er of a Turkish fisherman, and reposed in his hut for several hours; he was then very, ill, and its Lieutenant Ekenhead was coin- peHd to go on board his frigate, he wäs left no idea of the rank or con- seqiience of his inmate, but paid him most marked attetitioti--iii, wife was his imrse, and, at the end of five day. he left the shore, completely recovered. When he was about to embark, the Turl, gave him a targe loaf and a cheese, and a skill friled with wine, and then presented him withl a few^prnes (about a penny each,) prayed Alia to bless him, and wished him safe home. His Lord- ship at the time mada him no return to this, more than saying, he felt much Obliged. When he ar- rived at Abydos. he sent over his man. Stefano, to the-' Turk., with an. assortment of fishing nets* a fowling piece, a brace of pistols, and "twelve yarcls of silk to make,go wns for his wife. The poor Turk was astonished, and said" whata nobte return for all act of humanity J" He then for lied the resolution of crossing the Hellespont- ani in propria person t. thanking his Lordship.— His wife approved of the plan; and then launch- ing his boat, he sailed about half way across whiii a sudden squall upset his boat, and tlie poor Til kish fisherman found a watery grave. Lord Byron was much distressed when he heard of the catistrophe, and with all that kindness of heart wh'ch belonged to him, he sent to the widow fifty dollars, and told her he would ever be her frie td. This anecdote, so highly honourable to 0 his Lordship's memory, has not been tolfl before in print.
