RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday in Lord Stanley's Committee on the
Metropolitan Railways the evidence of Sir C. Fox
was finished relative to the engineering features of
the proposed new lines at Battersea of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway, after which Mr.
Holroyd, one of the directors of the company, was
examined by Mr. Rodwell and Mr. Somerset upon
the general details of the undertaking, and the case
fur the promoters of the bill closed, atter some fur-
ther evidence from Mr. Forbes. The case for the
competing lines of the London and South-Western
Company at Battersea was then opened. It is pro-
posed to construct a railway of 711 chains at Bat-
tersaa to connect that company's Richmond line
with the West London Extension Railway, and to
carry out a diversion of the existing branch of the
West London Extension Railway, which joins the
company's main line near Falcon-bridge at Batter-
sea, the works to be completed within three years
Agreements are to be entered into between the com-
pany and the West London Extension and the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover Companies with respect
to the construction, use, and traffic of the intended
line at Battersea. The company propose to raise
for the purpose £24,000 on share capital, and £B,OOO
by mortgage. A committee, Sir F. Goldsmid in
the chair, met to consider the proposed East Nor-
folk Railway. Tne case was opened by Mr. Mere-
wether, Q.C., the witnesses examined in its favour
being Lord Wodehouse, Lord Suffield, and other
landowners. Mr. Bidder, C.E., described the line,
which is opposed by Mr. Venables for the naviga-
tions and other interests. The bill for the Knot
End andftarstang. Railway was passed. After
having previously passed the bill of the London
and North-Western for extending and improving
their traffic arrangements between England and Ire-
land, the committee of which Mr. Baillie is chair-
man decided on clauses giving the same facilities
for traffic with Irish railway and steam navigation
companies to the railway companies and other
intei eats opposing. Mr. Piercy was examined on
the engineering merits of the Wrexham,
Mold, and Connah's Quay Bill, and further
general evidence occupied the committee on the
Great Northern extension from Lincoln to Bourn.
The committee of which the Duke of Devonshire is
chairman passed the Stokes Bay Railway and Pier
Bill, but intimated that they were not in a position
to decide relative to the subscription contract.
