very w:-e and political principle—of showiny our ships in the
ports ff the Mediterranean—is beginning to be thoroughly
carried out by Sir John Ommanney. We cannot say that

Ti-o Government Inspector of Railways,. Sir
Fredeiick Smith. after a very caref sl survey of the whole of
the Brighton Railway, gives it as his opinion, in his Report,
that t' is line is one of the best constructed, and consequently

princits Ily induced by the great width and solidity of the em-
