Allen, Chester. a. P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. James Grant, Union. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. THE LONDON SUBTERRANEAN HALL? WAY.-Th? Metropolitan Railway of London will have, when completed, it is said, neither beginning nor end. It will be entirely under ground, a continuous burrow, a succession of covered ways, with troughs of vari? ous lengths, at irregular intervals, open to the sky for light, but more especially for ventilation. There are 250 trains each way daily, running at intervals of about two minutes and a half during tho business portion of the doy. The traffic on this road has trebled in four years. In the half year ending June 80, 1867, the num? ber of passengers carried was 11,488, 358. The receipts are about $5,000 {>er mile. The first portion of this ino was opened in 1863, and it is rapidly approaching final completion. Although the road is altogether below the surface of the streets, every effort has been made, whore practicable, and not too expensive, to make the road open rather than covered. In one locality, the company purohased five costly mansions in coarse of erec? tion. They were underpinned, and now rest n pon the roof of the covered way under them. Numerous other large buildings have been similarly underpinned. Many difficulties are experienced and mnch expense in? curred in avoiding sewers and gas and water mains. NEW STEAM ENGINE.-A Mr. Ben? jamin Franklin, of Westmoreland, England, has vindicated his right to the name by inventing a steam en? gine which requires only one fourth of the steam for the same power attained in other engines of equal size; dispenses with piston, crank and steam chest; al m ont en? tirely overcomes friction, costs only qnartor the usual amount, and will not easily get out of repair. Centri? fugal force is the agent employed, and it is capable of fifteen hundred re vol utions a minute. A Mississippi edi'or baring given notice that he would inform, free of charge, enterprising yonng men how to make a fortune without capital, replies to several anxious inquirers: "E^ery one of you pull off your coats, leave off yonr army sixes, quit whiskey, go to work, make a crop of corn, cotton, peas and potatoes; house them np, then marry an enter? prising girl." Aohild was killed in Norwich, Con? necticut, last week, by falling upon a pair of scissors, and striking their point into its brain. South Carolina Railroad Company, COLUMBIA, S.
