rised the directors to subscribe 60;000/. towards the
British and Irish Grand Junction Railway, since it
is stated that the additional traffic which will be
derived from the route when carried out cannot fail
to pay rnpre than the interest of the money pro=
posed to be raised. At a special meeting of the
Dublin and Wicklow Company it was agreed to
authorise the directors to apply to Parliament for
power to extend the station at Harcourt road, and
for other purposes. The inhabitants of Dolgelly
have passed a resolution in favour of the Newtown
and Maehynlleth Railway. The line is stated to
present no engineering difficulties, and the traffic
will, according to estimates, be remunerative. The
directors of the Cork and Youghal Railway, owing
to opposition, have not pressed their application
on the baronies of Barrymore and Imokilly for a
guarantee of 5 per cent. on a capital of 100,0001. to
facilitate a completion of the line ; but they hope,
although they have not the advantage of a guaran-
tee, to be able to commence running trains in the
ensuing sumniei4.
