I An expectation appears to be entertained that the
East India Company are upon the pint of taking another
step likely to delay indefinitely the effective introduction of
the railway system into their territory, it being proposed to
send Mr. Simms, their railway engineer, to Bombay and Ma-
dras, to examine and report on the lines projected in these
Presidencies, before any further encouragement shall be given
to the respective companies, As regards Bombay, this course
will involve a delay of between one and two years, and for
that period the advantages which would be derived from
facilitating an increased supply of cotton, the main incen-
tive to which must consist in improved means of transit,
will consequently be lost. If further examination were
necessary on account of any doubt as to the eli-
gibility of the line proposed in that Presidency,
or if the outlay were such that it could only be

the entire period of the threatened delay, the proceeding

appears that this would be so small as to prove comparatively
of no importance, and to be within the limits even of what
might be raised within. the Presidency. The delay, more-
over, now likely to arise would scarcely be limited to two
years, for under the proposed course the present company
(the Great Indian Peninsular) would most likely follow the
recent example of the Madras Company, and break up for
want of a distinct prospect of Government support, after
which there would be little chance of an early resumption of
the design.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON TUE EASTERN COUNTIES
Rati.waz.—Tuesday, at the Hertford station of the above
railway, an engine-driver, named Edward Williamson, while
engaged in shunting some carriages upon the rail, endea-
voured to pass between two of the carriages. Unfortunately
in the attempt he was struck by one of the buffers in the
abdomen, and forced against the preceding carriage. The
poor fellow was taken up insensible, and every assistance
rendered him, but he expired after lingering three hours in
great agony.
