VILVT.—The select committee on standing ordain region that
the standing orders may be dispensed with in the case of the
Metropolitan Grand IS Moo Railway. Bristol Central Station,
Gloucester and Ledbary Railway, Neath ard Brecon Rail-
way (new lines). and that the parties be permitted tc pro-
ceed but they have decided that in the case of the May•
field Railway the standing orders of parliament °tithe not
to be dispensed with. The bills for the Bromley Railway
and for the West Yorkshire Railway have been withdrawn
by the promoters. A committee has been appointed to
°Derider and decide on the following new railways for the
county of Kent :—Dover, Deel, and Sandwich Railway ;
Kent Coast Railway ; London, Chatham, and Dover (5r
the establishment of steamboats) ; Maidstone and Ashford ;
Ramsgate Railway ; Sevenoaks, Maidstone. and Toubridg ;
South Eastern Railway Extensions; and Weald of Kent
Railway.
REMOVAL OF ROYALS TOR THE NEW RAILWAY,.—
By the returns made in pursue**, of an order by the House
of Lords, it appears that the Metropolitan Railway Company
will require 103 houses io the neighbour hood for their pm-
posed extension to Trinity-square, Tower-bill, displacing,
as far as can be estimated, 202 persons, the houses con-
taining from three to ten rooms each, and 76 houses in Ker•
siugton for their Nottingthill and Brompton Extension,
dieplacint 500/ persons ; bat the promoters state that to
inconvenience is apprehended to arise, as most of the houses
taken will be rebuilt when the works are completed. The
Great Eastern, for their metropolitan station cad ralway,
propose to purchase and pall down 111 houses in St. Bo-
tolph, Bithopegate, GO in Christ Church, Spa-fields, and
186 in Bethnal-green, thereby displacing 1,071 persons ;
and a farther number of 80 houses in Bethnal-green, dis-
placing 240 persons, under their Junctions Bill. But
although compulsory power is sought to take all these
houses, the company state that probably not more than a
fourth will be taken in the first case, and not more than 14
in the second.

RAILWAY FROM SMYRNA TO AIDIN.—
The report of the directors to the twelfth half-yearly rant-
ing on the 30th inst. states that Moos the last general meet-
ing the directors have received the Erman and concession,
and have to report the entire issue of the 58,4,0001. of de-
ligatures on the terms of the subscription list previously
submitted to the Imperial Ottoman Government, and up to
the firmest period 195,000 f. is paid in (n 1411011434 per cent.
is paid !woo the balance of 390,000/. By the capital
amount it will be seen that the consolidation of the govern-
ment shares, which formed one of the conditions of the new
concession, has bees effected, and the capital now manna
of 44,600 abases of '2Ol. each, making 892.0001., and of
debentures for 892,000/.. together 1,784,000/.. the whole of
which bean the 6 per cent. guarantee. The entire line
between Smyrna and Ephesus (46} miles) has been taken
over from the contractor, and is now worked and maintained
by Vs company. The directors bear testimony to the
energetic manner is which the work. are bang carried out
under the Deli contract, as shown in the engimer's appended
report, and they are still regain) that the ultimate traffic
regain' on the finished line will fully equal the original
estimates.

Tait 13A0VorlY Ar CAPE DI VERDE,.—According
to the latest Adrian the Caps de Verdes were fast becoming
depopulated. Thecoodition of the Islands Bravaand St.Ttiago
was truly desperate. The oopnlation of these two islands
is estimated at about 70,000 souls, and for this population.
when the last advice' left St. Thiego, there were only 60
hags of rice among the entire population. But in the
Island of Brava there was no succour to be had. The effects
of the famine were such that the people were actually
dying by starvation in the very streets. The bark of the
basun tree sod the flesh of animals which few people ever
use was esteemed a delicacy. Although rein bad fallen.
yet it was too late, the seed sown was parched in the ground
and would not sprout, and although the pastures showed
green there wens() cattle to feed, they bad all died for want
of food sod water. _ _ _
