Among the private bills passed in connexion
with which the creation of new capital is autho-
rised the following may be named as including
largest amounts :—The Thames Embankment two
bills), capital 1,633,0001. ; Gas Lifsht and Coke
Company, 1,487,5001.; Clyde Navigation, 600,0001.;
Grand Junction Water,4oo,ooo/. ; and the Brad-
ford Waterworks, 360,0001.; all the other bills
go for smaller amounts, down to as low as 7,6001.
The aggregate capital in the bills petitioned for
includes street tramways as well as railways. Of
these there were three schemes for London, and
one for Liverpool. Two of the London schemes
failed to be read even a first time ; the
third—the Metropolitan Tramways Bill—was
put off for six months, on the motion for its
second reading in the House of Commons. The
Liverpool bill for a system of street tramways had
the support of the corporation, on their obtaining
certain clauses, and of many of the principal inha-
bitants, who gave evidence in its favour in the
three days' contest on the bill in the Commons'
committee. The omnibus interest, for sufficiently
palpable reasons, opposed the bill, and the London
and North Western Railway Company for reasons
less obvious. The Liverpool street tramway will
be on a sufficiently extensive scale, and will pass
through thoroughfares of such width, and
having such an amount of traffic as will
fairly test the applicability of that sys-
tem of locomotion to the streets of our
large cities and towns. The Tower Subway
Bill, which has received the royal assent,
should also probably have been classed with the
railway bills, inasmuch as the new tunnel will be
furnished with rails upon which the passenger car-
riuges will travel between the shafts at each end.
These shafts are to be about 50 feet deep, and the
tunnel 8 feet diameter. The carriages will be
lowered and lifted, it in proposed, by hydraulic
power. The passage of the river will be aocom-
plished, it is expected, in about three minutes from
one shaft head to the other. The estimate is only
16,0001., of which it is proposed to raise 12,000/.
by shares and 4,0001. by loans. The works will
be completed, it is expected, in about eight months
from the commencement. Mr. P. W. Barlow is
engineer.

• Three ere for street tramways to be worked by "animal
power."

Tann RAILWAY REPORTS.—The report of the
(heat Southern and Western Railway Company exhibits
an increase in the traffic for the half-year of 4,3821. se
compared with the corresponding period of 1867. After
paying the proposed dividend, at the rate of 61. per cent.,
there will remain a surplus of 2,7241. to be carried for-
ward against 6,7421. last year. The report of the Dublin
and Wexford Railway Company has been issued: The
directors are able to announce a very encau in-
crease in the receipts from passenger traffic of 6,
compared with the June half-year of 1867. The depres-
sion In the sulphur trade has, however, interfered with
the mineral traffic, and the decrease under this head re-
duces the net increase in the half-year to 3,8361. The
total expenditure shows an increase of 4,1671., but as
there is an exceptional charge for compen.tationaintri
arises from the Bray accident, of 6,3841., the o
eexpenditure appears to have been slightly reduced.
MORTON AND THE BRITISH ASSOMATION.—
Yesterday atown meeting was held at Brighton for the
purpose of ilfacTe British Association to hold its 1869
meeting at that . The invitation is a joint one from

tion of Railways, the following provisioxv.hpLeare *—

" I 244.17 E had occasion to use your Pain Willer
very frequently during my residence in Burmah, and have
found it very useful. I r ever visited the Jungles without it.
In chobc, diarrhea, cholera, and other bowel diseases, it
gives speedy relief. It is very popular in Burma;
among
the natives as well as Europeans. I always carry it wt
me when I travel, for my own use and the good of the people
where Igo.—Rev. M. EL BIXBY, Missionary, Methuen,
