Yesterday the committee, of which Mr. Baillie is the
chairman, on the proposed new railways in and around
Dublin, and *which propose to do for that city what the pro-
jected new metropolitan lines will do for London, entered
on the consideration of the fourth project for that purpose,
that of the Dublin Railway, which consists of a ramifica-
tion of 12 short lines, interlacing the various existing rail-
ways, docks, canals, and quays, at a capital cost of
£650,000 and a loan of £216,000. The line will cross the
Liffey by a bridge of three spans. It is proposed that the
London and North Western shall enter into contracts to
work and manage the line ; and as it is the first case of an
English railway proposing to work a railway in Ireland, the
railway department of the Board of Trade direct the parti-
cular attention of the committee to the subject. Yesterday
the engineering evidence occupied the committee, Mr.
Hawkahaw and Mr. Barton being examined. The Exe
Valley Railway Bill was thrown out in that committee. The
mineral traffic and general local evidence continues to oc-
cupy the attention of the Great Eastern and Northern
Junctions committee, and witnesses were examined for the
promoters by Mr. Brett, on the same subject, in Mr

. cross Railway to take additional ground on the western
side of Dowgate-hill, and on the southern side of College-
street, for their Cannon-street City terminus, to raise
£90,000 by shares, and £30,000 by loan, to lease lands at
their City terminus for an hotel, and contribute thereto
£65,000, being unopposed, was sent down to Mr. Massey.
The bill for the proposed Great Northern and Victoria
station was withdrawn. Mr Denison, Q.C., laid before Mr
Scholefield's committee the merits of the Glasgow City
Union Railway, which proposes at a cost of £BOO,OOO, and
loan of £266,600, with power to create a 4f per cent. de-
benture stock, to unite the various lines that centre and
surround that city, and carry a bridge of five arches over
the Clyde. The bills passed before Mr. Massey included
that for the Liverpool Great Central Station, and a con-
necting line of one mile, with a capital of £500,000 and
£166,000 loan; Midland Railway, for a line of 17 miles
from Bath to Thornbury, and raise £236,000 by shares, and
