Usiimpad, id. Additioadj RAILWAYS. THE NEW METROPOLITAN COMMUNICATIONS, One of the most important considerations arising oat of the Report of the &dot Oooimittee on Metropolitan Goasitanloaticu is the effect the new lines will leave on the misting railways having termini in London. A map will scarcely show all that is needed for the consideration of this subject ; for although a map indicates the situation of each existing and proposed line, it may mislead as to the *idioms proposed to be affected ; and as regards *Listing railway intonate, these junctions are the matters of pa:Lance. Of all the lines entering London there can be no doubt that the London end North Western and the North London will be the most benefited by the line proposed to be adopted. The new temiseground railway front the Hampstead•road to Charing-crass will bring the Loudon and North Western and the North London by a direct route to that "groat centre of human exestesm." This new line will be, in fact, an extension of the North London from he present somewhat remote station at the foot of Primrose-hfil to the great centre at Charing- moss ; I thus enabling it to reach Southwark, London-bridge, and Cannon-sheet. The Loudon and North Western will also have the =Matey of the Charing-cross elation for its tea & , and will obtain a direct communication through London with all the southern railways. It is somewhat curious Wit, by an unexpeeted decision, the London:and Faith Western should hive this greet advantage forced upon it at • moment when it has been struggling to prevent any metropolitan lines from being adopted. The London and North Western have professed that they did not want to get to Charing-isms. Thee were satisfied with their existing communications with the railways south of the Theme by way of Willesden and the West London Railway. The London and North Western management thought no ad vantage was to be gained by getting to Charing-cross ; whilst on the other band their rivals, the Midland and the Great Northern, have been ardently longing and elaborately scheming to get • communication of any sort with that sta tion. The result, by one of those curious accidents which attend railway affairs, is that the London and North Western finds itself with exclusive powers to get to Charing crom by a r3ute which can scarcely be said to be available to it. rivals ; for although the projectors of the Hampebeed and Cluuitiveross line propose to form • junction in the tunnel with the Metropolitan Railway at Euston-square, and ea to afford facilities for Midland and Great Northern traffic, yet it is obvious that such an arrangement will pre sent comparatively small advantages compared with the direct communications which will 'Wet between Charing cross and the London and North Western and North London How at Camden-town. So great will be the ad vantages conferred upon the London and North Western Company, that its shareholders will scarcely be surprised to Sad a proposal laid before them, when the bill passe, either to make the new line, or to subscribe • very large proportion of capital towards it, so as to keep this communi cation in London and North Western hands, as IS now done with the North London. The decision of the joint committee (as to the Charing cram line can scarcely fail to disappoint the Midland Red Great Northern Companies. They both hoped to get to Charing-cram by Mr. Hawkshaves Chariot:4ms Northern ' Extension scheme, which was planned with the direct object of effecting those oommunications. Coder the arrangement proposed by the joint committee, those lion will probably be more than ever driven to direct their traffic over the Metropolitan,and Landoll, Cluithain,"and Dover, by the first of which they will reach the City at Finsbury. whilst by the other they will obtain somas to the southern suburbs and to the West-end Station at Victoria. In regard, how ever, to the latter 'amnion, it is tolerably obvious that the London and North Weirto' at Charing-cress will have the advantage over the other northern lone. The interests of the Great Western do not appear to have been in any way considered by the joint committee, nor does it appear that that railway will materially benefit in any war by the new limn proposed. The Inner Circle line, from the Metropolitan at Conduit-street (Paddingtoe) to Victoria-street, will not help the Great Western, for the Bee effect' no junction with the Victoria station. For the same reason, although the Inner Cirole may be mid to reach Charing-crom by the Thames embankmeet, yet is consequence of the differeace al bevels it will afford so means of reaching the Charing.oram station. The Great Western, therefore, will derive no benefitfroin the western ixteisslotik of the M44°1,011611 Lllway. It b U caution° to work its traffic over that railway to Farringdon-street and Finsbury-circus ; and for access to a station in the south west of London it most continue to rely upon that it at preasot pommies over the Kensington line, by which it is able to reach Victori► One of the peat objections to the Inner Circle railway is that it passes all the existing stations on its routs—Victoria. Cherintorces. Cansowstrest, Feschurch etre*, and Liver pool-etreet—without forming junction with any one of them. At Charing-cross, Feochnrch-street, and Liverpool-street, when, the termini are on high levels, it will probably be impossible to make junctions with a line in tunnel, but this can scarcely be the ease at Victoria-street and Cannonetreet, where the stations are on the level ; and it would certainly be very desirable that junction should, if possible, be made at each of those points. It is somewhat cations that the joint committee should have altogether lost night of this important fact, seeing that their report in favour of the Inner Circle line was expressly agreed to, " with a view to the distribution of passenger traffic arriving by the main lines of railway maw within the metropolis ;" an object which the Inner Circle, se at preheat planned, entirely fails to accomplish. The joint committee will appear to many who read their report to have beta very careful of the interests of the Great Eastern Railway. It may be doubted, however, if they have not done a great injury to that railway by throwing over the Tottenham and Farringdon-street Railway —a line which was divined to connect the Cambridge line of the Great Easters with the Ferringdonstreet Station. thereby put ting the Great Fasten into direct communication with the Great Western and Midland Railways; and which would also have 'forded peat accommodation to the populous localities of Stamford-hill, Stoke Newington, Highbury, Islington, Ac. It is the more curious that they should have thrown out this bill, as it was a distinct recommendation of the Lords' committee of 1863 that the Great Eastern should be brought into communication with the western railways, which this line would have effected. By the Fist London (Thames fusee') Railway, proposed for adoption by the foist committee, the Greet Easters and Blackwell lines will be ►ble to communicate with the Brighton and South Eastern Railways at New-orces. The joint committee also recommend that this East London Railway shall be connected with the North Loodoo line. which in fact is proposed to be accomplished by a junction in Liverpoolotreet. The value of those junctions, however, must be greatly modified by considerations which the joint committee do not appear to have bad before them. At, line of railway at the extreme east end of London must be chiefly serviceable for the pump of merchandise and mineral traffic from north to south. But how are heavy merchandise and mineral traits to be worked on gradients of 1 is 50, as will be necessary to pt into the Thames Tanned wader the London Docks, or on a rising iocliee of 1 in 70, which will be required from the south shore of the Thames to the juvotion with the southern railways? The cast of working heavy Scathe on such gradients must almost absorb receipts. The scheme is a very good one for selling the Thames Tunnel, but for the purposes of • railway company, it seems difficult to hoagies any one embarking is it, especially considering that the line is esti mated to cost three millions. It may be supposed ►hat the Brighton and South Eastern Railway Companies might derive advantage from being able to work their traffic to Fenchuroh•strnt or Liverpool-street, or on to the Metropolitan Railway, by • Sae through the Thames•tunnel. These companies, however, will presently have a series of stations at Loadon•bridge, Canaon.street, Charing-cress, mad Victoria, which can seareely be exceeded foe public ceavenicom, and it la t►anfore difficult to loggias t►at say Dow route into the City would beat service to them. The arrangement which would probably brat accommodate the traffic of the Brighton and South Easters would, as already indicated, be the formation of junction with the Metropolitan Inner Circle at Gummi-street sod Victoria. AN reprde t►e Loedoe, Chatham, sad Dover, the report at the joiat oommittes cannot be ommideeed ualsvostable [TWOPENCE to the interests of the line. Although oommunicationa are to be meek between the north and loath, both to the west and east of London, yet the Blackfrius Extension to Farringdon.strest will still be the mistral link in the chain of metropolitan communication, and with this through line no direct competition is sanctioned. As regards the London and South Western, it does not appear to be in soy way affected by the report. The management continues to think the station in the Waterloo-road "everything th►t could be wished." The public, we believe, anxiously anti• cipate the day when this company will afford them some facility for getting to Charing-croes and London•bridge, by the tr.eans now available to them, if they choose to use them. CHARI24O.CROBS RAILWAY. At the oommenoement of this week an entrance to the station of this railway was aided from Charing cross— thus avoiding the 0001111111ity at geweisig down Villiemetreet. The entrance is only temporary, but it communicates . _ directly with the platform, and thereby accommodates the public. It is satisfactory to kern that the traffic on the line has considerably increased since it has been opened. That traffic, hi. waver, is still very much leas than it ought to be. Much complaint is made that the main line and North Kent trains of the South•Esatero are sot even yet run up to the Charingerma station. A few trains from Bkklity. Bromley. and &atheism, are run to and from Charing arose, bat the South•Eistorn will sot receive the eihelthfilla it ought to receive from the use of this station until the whole of its train service is run into it. The station arraogneeete are still, we regret to au, is a very backward state. It will take a fall mouth to complete them ; and it can ecuoely be expected that the new hotel buildiop will be dabbed for many Loathe to come. STEERING SHIPS BY TELEGRAPH. At the Royal United Service Institution yester day a highly Interesting lecture was delivered by Lieutmant A. H. Gilmore, R.N., upon the application of electric tele graphy to the stewing sad general management of a men-of. war. The lecturer stated that it was sow Pewee years since his late brother directed attention to the subject, and pro posed ao apparatus for the purpose to We Admiralty, which had then berm tried with perfect success on board some vessels of small aim. The same system has recently been accepted by the Admiralty, sad is now in use, with certain improvements, on board the Resistance, the Hector, Prince Consort, Gilead°, Oracles, and the Queen's yacht, the Vic toria and Albert, having been first adopted in that ship on the occasion of her voyage to bring the Princess of Wales to England. The great value of a stream of perfect communi cation throughout any ship must be evident, as it is from the want of this that so many accidents happen. Shim come into fatal collision in fogs arid dark nights before it is possible to alter the course by word of command. The man at the look-out has first to give his signal, and this is taken up by the next man, and so the word is carried, often in a gale of wind, through several men to the steersman, who possibly gets an imperfect, or even a directly contrary order, while, if he gets the right one, it is often too late. Nosy hair breadth escapes in this way are commonly to be heard related by seamen, and no doubt small craft are eometimes run down which might have been, avoided had it been possible for the man at the helm to act with sufficient promptitude. The apparatus appears to be extremely simple, and it is only surprising, now that we are shown it, that it was not adopted long ago. There is in front of the wheel at which the helmsman is stationed, a seat stand, somewhat like a sna-dial stand, with an upright dial plate, upon which week. a band or indicator, and this plate is made transparent at night by a lamp. When the ship is steering " steady." the hand is vertical, or at lest, by its own gravity chiefly, cad pte to the word • steady ;" when the course is signalled to " port," or "starboard," the hand moves to the left or right hand, as required by the officer in COOl. maod, who of course directs the key-beadle upon a similar dial-plate before him. Bat by an ingenious contrivance • tharpsonading meg . is struck with every signal, so that the man's attention se called to the dial-plate before him. If he is ordered to steer so many spokes of the wheel to port or starboard, the Aker gives three, or aoy other , number of stokes upon his dial. and the gon g sounds at the mine time. If the order " hard down" or • hard up" helm is to be given, it is only neomeary to repeat the strokes rapidly. Mr. Gihnore showed the apparatus in action, and it worked in the most exact and unmistakable manner. for ships of war, and especially the cupola ships, it would seem to be quite au indispensable means of working them efficiently, as ceders may be mot about the ship with emu. racy under any circumstances, and with • rapidity quite impossible in the 114•11 either of • storm or a beetle. M. Gilmore purposes to have • kind of table pith Pe'rethi plates upon it, each of which I. in comtnnuicatioe with a cer ' tan part of the ship, as the fi g hting quarters, the room, the cupolas, and soon ; this would be placed in the captain's pilot-house on deck, and this the aecessay orders tp tight the ship by wanceurnag in any way, to the maga zines and totoll,. orOnhaide Suss, prepare to are, to c h ange or revolve cupolas for the other Eck, sad in CYO of attack. tog as • ram, to charge or to back off as needed. The im menee advantages of all this need sot be dwelt nem, but the lecturer pointed out especially that in modern warfare by steam it would be of great importance to be able to manoeuvre the ship rapidly, end to fire instantaneously at a ship moving with high speed. The double screw propellers which are now coming into use would not, he thought, be fully available without this method of conveying orders in stantaneously. As to the ems with which salon would learn the meaning of the signals and the working of the system. Lieutenant Gilmore felt quite sure that there was is. difficulty in this method of steering than in the old one of steering by the PROPOSED STATUS TO SIR ROWLAND HILL AT BIRMINGHAM. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Birming ham, conveosil by the mayor in compliance with an in fluential requisition, was held in the committee-room of Mill Town-hail. yesterday (Friday) at noon, the Mayor (William Holliday, Esq.) in the chair. In motile; the lo=ahis worship said that he had received • number from gentlemen who were unable to attend, ap proving of the movement. He was happy to say that the object of the requisitionista was to do that for a public max which bed generally been deferred till he waned to exist. But on the present occasion they wished to do honour to a public man in his lifetime, and be hoped the example would be followed in many instances. He did not know any member of the community who had not derived bessat from the introdootios of the penny postage ; and he therefore hoped and trusted, as be be bevel would be the we, that the movement would be carried ont with an energy which had seldom bees witnessed in that energetic and liberal town, and that the enemas would be unprecedented. lie would not detain them any lone'', further than to remark that the move ment originated with Mr. James Lloyd, who had first Galled public attention to the subject, and he should therefore call upon that gentleman to move the first resolution. —Mr. James Lloyd, Wakes, in movie* the first resolution, said be tat sure that all would agree with him that no one had dope so much, not only for the benefit of this cannery, but for the whole thrilled world, se Sir Rowland Hill. The erste= of the penny postage which be had originated bad been adopted in almost every commercial country is the world ; and the people of this country had not only derived benefit resulting directly from the system of the penny pottage , but from other benefits which had bees brought into existence through that system, as the money o rde r ogees, and the system of book postage. Had the meeting been called two days earlier it would r sca . r t zli . have fallen en opportune es the protect, as yesterdays papers announced th e resignation of Sir Row a.d Hill in consequence of ill-health, and therefore the present was a most graceful and appropriate time to orichiato the movement by which some taproom" of a nation s gra. titude should be paid to him on retinog from public life. He had much pleasure in moving—" That as a permanent monument of the public appreciation of the eminent services rendered to the commercial and social progress of this and other countries by Sir Rowland Hill in originating, and, not withstanding great obstacle', in carrying to • soooessful issue the system of penny postage, • statue be erected to him in the town of Birmingham."—The motion yes seconded by Hoary Von Wart, Esq., who expressed a bops that all classes would join is the movement, and that means would be adopted fee receiving the piece of the working dames. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Thomas Short, jars., East Indian merchant, moved that *committee be appointed for carrying into effect the fore going resolution.
