line at a point about 214 chains from its commencement,
and also in the parish of Hadley; also a branch railway
commencing at Willesden, about nine miles and three
furlongs from the commencement of the intended main
line, and terminating by a junction with the London

THE METROPOLITAN (UNDERGROUND).
An important supplementary act of Parliament is
about to be applied for, and a bill has been prepared,
for effecting an alteration and a deviation of the for-
merly proposed line of the Metropolitan Underground
Railway between Paddington and the General Post-
otlice. The new, bill declares it expedient in its pre-
amble, and proposes to make a deviation in the line of
railway to the east of Red Lion-alley, in the parish of
St. Sepulchre, and also to alter the levels of the rail-
way situate
between Baker's row, in the parish of St.
James, Clerkenwell, and the commencement of such
deviation, and to alter the deviation line between Red
Lion-alley and the authorised termination of the rail-
way at or near the General Past-office in St. Martin's-
le-Grand. The bill also, by the tenth section, states,
" That whereas-it will be advantageous to the company
and the public that the interchange of engines, car-
riages, and trucks should take place between the Metro-
politan and Great Northern Railways, it is enacted by
this act that such communication should be effected by
a continuous line of rails, and without the use of hoists
or turn-tables. That the Metropolitan Company shall
at their own expense execute the necessary works for.
effecting a convenient junction between the said rail.
ways for the purposes aforesaid, and for ever after
maintain the same." Powers are also taken to divide
the original capital of 300,0001., which, by the original
act, was divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each, into
30,000 shares of 101. each, deposits for future bills not
being paid out of the company's capital not being gua.
ranteed.
