About five O'Clock on Saturday morning steam
carriage, carrying nearly dozen of persons inside
and out, made its appearance on the Camden town
road. 1t proceeded through Kentish tswn and up
Highgate Hill, at the rate, as nearly as could CAL
culate, of 81 miles an hour, its velocity being the
same in ascending the hill the comparatively
level ground.-upon arriving at the summit Of the
hill opposite Holy terrace, the conductor turned his
ponderous vehicle, and Immediately commenced the
descent of the hill. at rate perhaps of four miles an
hour. Whether, however, arising from the unskl-
fulness of the manager, or from the defect of the
machinery, we cannot tell, his pace became gradu-
ally much greater, until the power of controlling its

five remaining wheels. We believe this is the first
