Buffalo and New York City Railroad.—We have received an invitation from this company, to attend the celebration on the 25th, of the completion of the high bridge across the Genesee river at Portage and of the opening of the Railroad from Attica to Hornellsville. The bridge is two hundred and thirty-four feet above the bed of the stream, and about one hundred feet above what are called the Upper Falls, some sixty feet high.
The completion of this road to Buffalo on the same wide guage as the New York and Erie Railroad, will enable the passengers to make the trip in from New York to Buffalo, via the New York and Erie to Horellsville, thence by the Buffalo and New York city to Buffalo, in twelve hours—the entire distance 434 miles.
The number of visitors to see the bridge and the falls, of which there are three in as many miles, already equal the arrivals at Niagara, and for wildness and grandeur of scenery, the Genesee, from Mount Morris to Portage, is unequalled in the United Stales. The perpendicular banks in many places are from four hundred to five hundred feet high.
