BLACKWALL RAILWAY.—The follow-
ing article, from the pea of Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq.,
111. P., appeared as a leading article in the True Sun newspaper
of the 13th of March, 1837, of which pap* r he was proprietor.
Mr. Harvey at that time advocated, with his u‘ual
the extension of the RailA ay to Leadenhall-street, although then
intended to be worked by locomotive engines, and consequently
liable to all the objections incidental to the use of such among
Louses;; Rhereashe now objects to any extension at all, although
the extension sought for (to Fenchurch-street only, about half
the distance) will be worked without any description of engine,
the trains being made to travel one way by momentum, and the
other by gravity.
We cannot congratulate the Honourable Gentleman on his
cor.sistency, but he, no doubt, will explain in his speech of to-
morrow (Thursday), when again attempting to defeat the Bill
by delay, how he came to advocate, in 1837, as advantages, the
identical peculiarities of the Blackwell Railway, which, in 1839,
he strenuously opposes, and against which he has so frequently
divided the Committee during an investigation of twenty-one
days' duration,
" Metropolitan Railways.—The Blackwell Railway is another
which cannot fail to be eminently productive of advantages both
to the public and subscribers. The object of this scheme is to
connect Blackwell, the East and West. India Docks with Leaden-
hall-street, by means of a railway carried upon arches over the
intervening thoroughfares. On the completion of this railway
all the dangers of the river navigation, particularly at that part
tilled the Pool, will be avoided, as steamers will lard their'
passengers at Blackwell, from whence they will be conveyed in
ter, minutes to Leadenhall-strect, close to the great centre of
coach and omnibus conveyances. The same journey, a dis-
sa.ce of four miles; is now performed by coaches in forty mi-
nutes, and by omnibuses in an hour. From Blackwell the
steam boats are frequently one hour and a half in working their
cautious way through the crowded river to London-bridge.
"The list of accidents upon this part of the river is quite
cppalling, and if a gain of time is made by landing at Blackwell,
there is no reason steam-boats should not be compelled to dis-
charge their pi Wagers there; at all ever.ts the public will not
overtook the facility and safety of that plan. From the improve-
ments which have been discovered there is not the least danger
to the houses, above which the trains will pass, and the noise
made by them will be much less than that of the present
crowded streets.

" The numbers of persons and the quantities of goods passing
and repassing between the tw3 points are enormous, and it ap-
pea.rs from the evidence given by Dr. Lardncr, that the forma-
tion of a railway usually increases the number of passengers
foarfold. Should it prove so in this case the profit to the share-
holders must be great. The most obvious objection to this
railway is the shortness of the line, but this is a disadvantage
sufficiently compensated by the vast populousness of the locality.
1110 e ver Dr. Lardner, who, as a general rule, has strongly in-
sisted upon this objection, said, at a meeting of proprietors last
month, From a full knowledge of its statistical and commer-
cial advantages, and from its being the most promising under-
taking he bad he..rd of, he had become a considerable proprie-
tor and that it. was Vac, first joint stock company in which he
had ever been interestcd.'"
