which these works are proceeding, it is contemplated that
the branch line will be opened for traffic in the course of the
ensuing summer. The excavations between Slough and the

Windsor side of the river. There will be two entrances to
the terminus at Windsor—one near the White Hart Hotel,
in the High-street, and the other from ;Peascod-street; the
occupants of the houses have just received the usual notices
from the solicitors to the company.
