 | On Saturday afternoon, the Locomotive Engine Nest Point, underwent trial of speed, with ihe bar~ Tier car and four for passengers. on ihe Raib Road.

 | There were IF passengers, of which number 5S- were Ladies, in the four cars, and persons the engine, with bales Cotton on the Barrier car, and the trip to the Four Mile House, 9 3-4 miles from the starting point, wGs completed in II minutes, when the cars were stopped minutes 10 oil the axles-and the IA miles 10 the Fork of Dorches- ter Road was completed in minutes. | The safety which has been insured by the ntro- duction of the barrier cur, and the improvements in the formation of the flanch of he wheels, which we learn, was made by one of the young mechanics of this city, (Alr J. Petsch) steam engineer in the Com pany's service, will no doubt elicit portion of pat- ronage. In the ensuing week We hope to be able 10 announce to the Stockholders the opening of II miles in continuation frcm the City. The new Steam Car works admirably, and the safety valve being out of reach of any person on the engine, will doubtless contribute to the prevention ofuccidents in future. ht The work is in active progress along the line of Road, and we learn thut many of the Contractors between Cypress and Edisto have already complet- ed considerable portions of their work That near est town is, and will be in continued progress, not withstandng the warmth of the weather. gt
