LOCOMOTION AND TRANSPORT. 



150000 persons have been dismissed from the direct employment 

 of the railway companies, and who must now he obtaining support 

 from other occupations. It is, however, certain that a large 

 increase of the demand for labour has been produced by the 

 creation and operation of railway traffic, such as that which arises 

 and must arise from the establishment of founderies, carriage, and 

 engine building, and other branches of railway business, not 

 only in the United Kingdom, but in other countries which are to 

 a great extent supplied by British industry. 



We shall on another occasion notice the progress of locomotion 

 by railway in other countries.
