The Inner Circle,

The line sanctioned by Lord Stanley's committee
commences by a double junction with the West
London Extension Railway between the Richmond-
road and Kensington, and passing through Earl's-
court, forms a connection with the Metropolitan E-
xtension Railway at High-street, Kensington, where
there is an exchange station, and by another fork
turns to the south to Gloucester-road, where another
exchange station is made, and thence it continues
parallel to the Metropolitan Extension Railway to
Alfred-place, West Brompton, where the terminal
station of the Metropolitan Extension Railway is
intended to be made. By these junctions, and the
exchange stations, opportunities will be given to all
the railways to find their way to the West London
Extension, London and North. Western, Great Wes-
tern, Brighton, and London and South-Western,
to communicate with the inner circle, and distribute
and exchange, and receive their traffic from it. The
first station is in Sloane-square. The lice passes to the
south of Thurloeasquare and thence across the Ful-
ham-road, and across a number of secondary streets
to Cadogan-terrace, at which point the Metropo-
litan Grand Union Line down to the Victoria Sta-
tion is adopted, as it avoids a good deal of opposi-
tion from the district of Chester-square and other
places. At the Victoria Station the Metropolitan
District Line is adopted for a short distance, then
the Grand Union proposed line, for the purpose of
avoiding passing down Victoria-street, to which
there was great objection made. By taking this
line, and running down Tothillastreet, and widen-
ing it from a 30-feet street, to a 60-feet street, a
very great public improvement will be accomplished.
At the Westminster Hospital the District Railway
is taken, and from that point, eastward it alone is
adopted. It is proposed to form a station at the
Victoria Station, taking a clump of houses between
the Victoria Station and Shaftesbury-terrace. At
Westminster a station would be formed between
Bridge-street and the ThaMes Embankment. It
was in contemplation to have had a line under cover,
to have given access to the Houses of Parliament,
but that is the private property of the Queen,
and the proposal has been struck out of the bill.
The Crown probably knows as much about it as the
Khan of Tartar;, but Mr. Gardiner, the agent, is
entitled to object if he likes. From Westminster
Station the line goes through the embankment to
Charing-cross. It passes under one of the openings
ofethe bridge, and does not interfere with the Char-
ing•cross railway in any way. There is to be
another station at Blackfriars of a similar character
to that at Charing-cross—namely, for the locality,
and also an exchange station with the railway which
intersects it there, which is at that place—the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover. From Blackfriars the
line follows the route of the new street which is
called New Earl•etreet, and along that street up to
very nearly the point where that new street joins
Cannon street. Then it diverges from that and runs
parallel to Cannon-street, coming to the station of
the Charing-cross Railway. The line pass 10ft. be-
low the level of their rails. So far the line is kept
through an inferior class of property, At Trinity-
square the line will run into the station of the Me-
tropolitan Extension Railway, which had just passed
this committee, and that will be an entire comple-
tion of the inner circle. All the questions affecting
sewers and works under the control of the Metropo-
litan Board of Works have been agreed upon.
There is only the question of compensation to be
paid. The length of the line through is 71 miles ;
that which constitutes the completion of the inner
circle—the connecting link from Brompton to Tria
nity-square--is 4 miles 75 chains ; the remaining
lines are 2 miles 44 chains; the length actually pro-
posed by the bill is 7 miles 39 chains. The total
area of the property required will be 27a. lr. 19p. ;
the total number of buildings permanently removed
will be 234, and the total number of buildings in-
terfered with 808. This estimate includes every-
thing except the Thames Embankment and the
streets, distinguishing that from property ; includ-
ing earerything, it would be 41a. 3r. 23p. The
quantity of property permanently retained in the
city is loss than an acre—it is 3r. 23p. Ono prac-
tical effect will be that instead of terminal stations
there will be, comparatively speaking, only roads
side stations, and the terminal business will be done
off the line. Eleven dwellings, 19 dwellinghouses,
warehousesrera oTe dor large buildings, will be with shops or offices, five shops or offices only, and
perma-
nentlyfour
rin the city of London, and during
the execution of the works 32 dwellinghouses, 117
dwellinghouses with shops or offices, 11 shops or
offices only, and 32 warehouses or large build-
ings,

?RE NAVAL YARD, DEAL.—By order, of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the impor.
tant freehold estate containing the whole of the Naval
Yard. with the extensive buildings, dwelling houses, &c.,
with a large house in Queen-street, formerly the Port Ad-
rairal's residence, and ground in Prospect-place, Deal, was
sold by auction yesterday, at Garraway's, by Mr Murrell,
auctioneer, under the direction of Mr Bristow, the solicitor.
to the Admiralty. In consequence of the opening of the
new pier, wnich extends far out into the sea, and the pro-
posed erection of harbour and docks, the sale excited more
than ordinary interest. Garraway's was crowded to excess
After various questions had been asked, the bidding com-
menced at £5,000, and after a most spirited contest the pro-
perty was knocked down to the Conservative Land Society
at £13,200. A portion of the property can be retained as a
naval yard, and the remainder turned into building land,
the want of houses being much felt at Deal. The esplanade
frontage to the sea is 800 ft, and the frontage to the Dover
and Walmer-road is more than 800 ft. The property abuts
on Desl Castle, and commands fine views of the sea coast,
and is also opposite the anchorage of the fleet when in the
Downs

TnE EXPRESSION OP DRESS.—Women are more
like flowers than we think. In their dress and
adoenment they express their nature, as the flowers do their
petals and colours. Some women are like the modest daisies
and violets—they never look or feel better than when dressed
in a m?rning wrapper. Others are not themselves unless
they can flame out in gorgeous dyes, like the tulip or bush
rose. Who has not seen women just like white lilies? 'We
know several double marigolds and poppies. There are
women fit only for velvets, like the dahlias; others are
graceful and airy, like azaleas. Now and then you see
hollyhocks and sunflowers. When women are free to dress
as they like, uncontrolled by others, and not limited by
their circumstances, they do not fail to express their true
characters, and dress becomes a form of expression very
genuine Rnd ueeful,—George I►leredith's ".Ernilk in Eng-
