RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
FREETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST
RIDING JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Monday, at the Town Hall, Preston ; Mr. Thomas
B. Addison in the chair. The report of the directors
stated that the Burnley and Collieries Branch Bill
would be presented to the House of Lords on the
meeting of Parliament, the directors having availed
themselves of the general order, which allowed Bills
suspended to be resumed on the meeting of Parlia-
ment. The ten per cent. deposit yet remains in the
Bank of England. The first portion of the line from
Fleetwood station to the Longridge Railway, which
was expected to be the most difficult and expensive
part of the undertaking, has been contracted for upon
satisfactory terms, and is in progress of rapid com-
pletion. The Longridge line is being widened and
altered so as to be adapted for the use of locomotive
engines. Operations are to be immediately com-
menced on the second portion of the line, upon which
are some heavy works, viz., from the Longridge line
at Griwsargh to Milton.
The Rev. W. BIBLET begged that the calls might
be delayed as far as practicable.
The report having been adopted, the meeting, after
voting thanks to the directors and the chairman, se-
parated.

SOUTH DEVON.—The directors of this railway do
not intend to wait for the comple.tion of the line to
Plymouth, before they give facilities to the inhabi-
tants of the three towns to use it. It it their inter.-
tion to form a temporary terminus at. Laira Green,
for which purpose about six acres of ground have
been rented, and are now regularly staked out. The
works in the neighbourhood of Pl3mouth are pro-
ceeded with rapidly. The road down towards King-
stree is rapidly progressing ; the walls are of a very
substantial character, and are erected to within a few
yards of the street, and the space between them filled
up so as to be ready for the laying of the rails when-
ever that may be desirable.—Plymouth Times.
BORDEAUX AND CETTE.—The company to whom
this line was conceded have dismissed the engineers
they had engaged, preparatory to the projected disso-
lution of the company.
