well-known firm, at whose establishment in Oxford 

 Street may be seen other private coaches, two of 

 which attracted my attention, namely, one built for 

 the Duke of Hamilton, and the other for Mr. Gordon

 and Guildford will, I may venture to predict, be well

 throughout the distance was very remarkable. 



Colonel Stacey Clitherowand Mr. Freeman will put 

 their coach on the Brighton road in due course, 

 affording an opportunity for those tired with the 

 monotony of the journey by rail of varying the 

 mode of travelling to the far-famed City by the Sea. 

 Lord Helmsley and Baron Schroeder will work the 

 road between London and Sevenoaks, affording an 

 excellent opportunity of viewing the scenery of the 

 most beautiful part of the lovely county of Kent. Mr. 

 Bailey will reappear with his well-appointed mail- 

 coach, and do the distance between Piccadilly and 

 Windsor in the same excellent style as it was done 

 last year. This will be found a most delightful trip, 

 the coach passing through Richmond, Twickenham,
