OCT. 14.-London to Wadhurst Castle. The scenery, as observed from the railroad to Tunbridge, is pleasing, from the fresh green of the pastures, and the rich yellows of the oak woods on each side; but, as there are but few deep cuttings or high embankments, nothing occurs that makes a very strong impression on a railroad traveller. We leave the railroad at Tunbridge, and proceed on the common road by Tunbridge Wells, passing a number of new villas, in various styles and degrees of taste, and some ornamental cottages with neat gardens. Beyond the Wells the cottages are more numerous, and many of them are highly ornamental. In short, we do not recollect a road, at the same distance from London, where so much has been done in ornamental cottage building. The impulse has, probably, been given by the Earl of Abergavenny, who has erected many lodges for the different entrances to Bridge Park, besides others seen from the road for his numerous tenants and dependants. Pass several of Read's improved hop-oasts; and also Highlands, an extensive establishment for insane persons, remarkable for the beauty of its grounds, 60 acres in extent, and the elegance of the buildings. Here, we were informed, Mr. Read was gardener for many years, and invented his very excellent syringes, which, with his subsequent improvements, far surpass all others.
