PROSPECTIVE POSITION OF THE LARGE

LINES.

From various circumstances that have recently occurred,
we think we are now:able to form something like a true
estimate of the relative positions which the great Eng-
lish railway companies will ultimately maintain in sup-
plying the public with railway accommodation. Let us
state the facts, and draw a few practical inferences.
The London and North-Western evidently aims at
securing the principal traffic between
,London and John
o'Groat's. To accomplish this the main lines to Scotland
have been leased, and the key to the command of the
traffic farther north has thus been secured. We have
the best authority for stating that arrangements are
nearly completed, by which the London and North
Western will extend directly to Aberdeen. Now, ob-
serve what a powerful hold this gives to that company.
The Caledonian will form a continuation of the Lan-
caster and Carlisle in a straight line northward to a
point midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow,
branching off right and left to both these cities, while it
joins the Scottish Central, and continues right on by
Stirling to Perth, and thence by the Scottish Midland
to Friockhem, the southern terminus of the railway
from Aberdeen. At this point the Grampian-hills practi-
cally shut out any other project on the east side thus
far north, and consequently the great stream of
traffic in this direction to the southward and northward
must pass over the Aberdeen line. From Aberdeen the
Great North of Scotland conducts to Inverness, and the
Northern Counties to the seaport and inland towns of
Caithness. The Great North of Scotland, being an ex-
tension of the Aberdeen line, if the London and North-
Western command the former‘ it is bound also to lease
the latter, and hence the whcile of the east coast and
central district of Scotland will be linked in the great
iron chain. Having got access to Edinburgh by the most
direct route, it will, no doubt, be a comparatively easy
matter to secure as many licks in that direction as will
serve to strengthen the position of the company in that
locality, so that the east coast of Scotland may be fairly
said to be now in its hands. The branch of the Caledonian
that leads to Glasgow will give the London and North-
Western a perfect command of the west coast traffic.
The Caledonian leased the Caledonian Northern Direct,
for which a Bill was obtained last session, and as this
line is joined by the Scottish Grand Junction, which
leads from Dumbarton to Oban, and thence by the Cale
donian Canal and Great North-Western to Fort William
and Inverness, both of which projects, if made, would
no doubt come under the same management, the com-
mand of the whole traffic on the west coast would
thus be secured. It is clearly evident that this is what
the London and North-Western is driving at, and
if it secure such a position, what a tremendous
power will be in its hands ! First, it will have a main
trunk line direct from London to Scotland of upwards of
300 miles; then a right arm encompassing the whole of
the east coast, and a left arm embracing the entire
circuit of the west, joining hands at a point that enables
it virtually to include the whole country, and practi-
cally to defy opposition. Within the territory of this
giant monopolist, when once he gets a chartered right
to govern, there will be a power exercised, either for
good or evil, of which no real estimate can at present be
formed.
While the London and North-Western thus seeks to
reign centrewardly in the foreground, and circumferen-
tially in the distance, " the Railway King" aims to es-
tablish himself in the east, and there reign without a
rival. Having linked the Great North of England to
the Eastern Counties and Midland line, he pushes on
from Newcastle to Berwick, and from Berwick to Edin-
burgh, in one unbroken chain. The North British at
one time essayed to get a footing northward, and hoped
to get forward by means of the Edinburgh and Perth,
but the leasing of the Scottish Central and Midland by
the London and North-Western appears to have ren-
dered that prospect doubtful. Had the Edinburgh and
Perth and Perth:and Inverness secured Bills last session,
the North British, it is understood, would have worked
its way to the capital of the Highlands, and thus given
competing lines to Scotland from end to ends but as the
one failed from defective plans, and the other on the
merits, there is not much chance that either will be re-
vived at least for some time again. Mr. Hudson will,
therefore, for the present have to confine himself to the
east coast and midland counties in which there is
room and verge enough truly for him to reign.
Leaving the Railway King in the east, the London
and North-Western in the centre, we now come to the
Great Western, whose territory would now appear to lie
more than ever to the west. With one competing line
from London to Birkenhead the public interests would
be pretty well secured; but while this is so far likely to
be realised by the London and Oxford and Birmingham
and Oxford Junction, the leasing of the Shropshire line
gives command of another district to the London and
North-Western, by which the Great Western will be
again thrown back. To compensate for this, the broad
gauge seeks to betake itself more largely to the west
side, and Wales; and if amalgamations and leasings are
to be worked out there as they are being worked out in
the centre, and on the east coast, the Great Western
will be able to boast of an extensive and important
domain.

Here then we have "great facts" before us in the
railway world—three great companies, all in process of
consolidation, and whose individual and separate interestsi
cannot be said to be directly under public,control. Were
they';so situate that publicly " the interest of one would
necessarily be " the interest of all," and the "interest of
all the interest of each," their consolidation would be a
subject of small concern; but the constituent elements
of the three are not exactly those of the vox populi, and
therefore kx supra= must be administered by other
hands. Whether these will be rightly guided, and by
whom they are to be controlled, are questions yet to be
settled.

NELSON RELICS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—The; is nothing either foolish or fanatical in the
curiosity and interest which all men feel about relics and
souvenirs of distinguished men, provided they be genuine
and authentic. The sword alleged to have been worn by
Nelson at Trafalgar, and just presented by Lord Saye
and Sele to Greenwich Hospital, would be an object of
well•merited interest and worthy of being enshrined in
that noble institution, did it not, unfortunately, lack the
proper evidence of authenticity, and, in spite of the war-
ranty given it by the curiosity-dealer, prove to be more
probably the dress-sword of Mr. Alderman Smith. The
relic, therefore, has been most wisely declined by the
authorities, as a more fitting trophy for Guildhall than
Greenwich Hospital.
By the good taste and munificence of his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert the undoubted coat in which Nelson
fell is in possession of that institution, and forms an ob.
ject of great interest to the thousands who visit the
Painted Hall. It is much to be regretted that the bullet
also which killed him, and which bears an undisputed
pedigree, should not be placed in the same keeping. On
the death of Sir W. Beattie, who extracted it from the
body of the hero, and ever afterwards wore it about his
person, it was natural to expect
. he should have be-
queathed it to Greenwich Hospital, where he was many
years physician ; but, dying intestate, the relic fell to
his brother, who loyally presented it to the Crown.
There could not be a more popular and graceful accom-
paniment to Prince Albert's gift of Nelson's coat than if
her Majesty should see fit to be pleased to present the
fatal bullet to Greenwich Hospital ; which then, instead
of being locked up at Windsor, would be visited from
time to time by millions of her Dilajesty's loyal subjects.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
GRENOVICENSIS.

THE HOLBORN IMPROVEMENTS.—Circumstances
are favourable at this moment to the improvement of
Holborn, and it is to be hoped will be taken advantage
of. The official referees have just now confirmed the
condemnation of some of the houses in Middle-row,
unless certain specified works, amounting' almost to a
rebuilding, be done ; and this, therefore, is the right
time to treat for their purchase, with the view of getting
rid of the whole block of houses which now stand so
much in the way. To suffer them to be rebuilt, and the
nuisance perpetuated, would be really disgraceful. In
Field-lane, too, as our readers know, many of the houses
are to come down.

Three of the captains' out-pensions of Greenwich Hos-
pital, relinquished on promotion, have been conferred on
the following officers :-
Captain George Hayes (1829), a brother of the late
distinguished Admiral Hayes, a lieutenant of 1793, and
commander of 1814. When lieutenant in command of
the Experiment, lugger, he beat off a French brig and
two row-boats of superior force ; was lieutenant of the
the Lively, in St. Vincent's action ; and commanded the
Daring, gun-brig, in the expedition to Flushing in 1809.
Captain Edward Sparshott, K.H. (1830), a lieutenant
of 1807, and commander of 1821. He was lieutenant of
the Niobe at the attack on two French frigates under
the batteries of La Hogue, 1810 ; and destruction of

he had the misfortune to receive a coup de soled.
Captain Samuel Burgess (1830), a lieutenant of 1799,
and a commander of 1816, a most distinguished officer
as -a lieutenant. He was midshipman of the Impreg•
nable in Howe's action, and of the Isis in the expedition
to the Ilelder; senior lieutenant of the Sylph, when she
twice beat off the French frigate Artemise; and com-
manded the Carteret cutter in the attack on Granville,
in 1803; lieutenant of the Prince at Trafalgar; and
commanded the Pincher, gun-brig, at the destruction of
the
_batteries at Cuxhaven and Gessendorf. Subse-
quently he was flag lieutenant to Lord Exmouth on board
the Queen Charlotte, at Algiers.
Vice-Admiral Sir F. W. Austen, the commander-in•
chief in the West Indies, as we stated he would, left
Halifax in his flag• ship the Vindictive, 50, Captain
Stanley, on the 21st ult., for Bermuda. The Vesuvius,
steam-sloop, Commander O'Callaghan, left Halifax two
days before for the same port.
Commander Sir James J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.H.,
K.C.8., appointed to Woolwich Dockyard, it is ex-
pected, will likely come up to Sheerness in the Terrible
steam-frigate, on his way to Woolwich, and will there-
fore keep his broad pendant flying until that time. The
Admiralty have offered Sir Gordon this alternative.
Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., the newly-appointed
Comptroller General of the Coast Guard, entered upon
the duties of his office yesterday.
Commander Henry James Lacon (1842), a lieutenant
of 1835, who was lieutenant of the Castor, 36, in her

promoted.
Lieutenants Arthur Grose (1815) has been appointed

Excellent, 48, gunnery-ship at Portsmouth, vice Wallis
promoted.
The St. Vincent, 120, Captain A. Milne, flag-ship of
Sir C. Ogle, at Portsmouth, is ready at that port, but is
at least 50 seamen short of her complement.
The Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. Leeke, flag-ship at
Devonport, has her full harbour complement of 760.
She had her lower rigging set up and her maintopmast
pointed on Saturday, and will be ready to leave the har-
bour on Wednesday. She is ordered by the Admiralty
into the Sound, where she is to be paid wages, and to be
kept ready for sea at the shortest notice.
The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, fitting at
Portsmouth, will not be ready for sea before the 6th of
next month. She is more than 100 short of her com-
plement of 430.
The Belleisle, 20, two-decked troop-ship, Captain
Kingcome, at the Nore, has drawn charts for the Medi-
terranean station and the South American station, and
is ready to sail for Plymouth, to make her complement
of 290, of which she is about 25 short, and to receive orders.
The Crocodile, 26, will be ready fur sea at Ports.
mouth, on the 26th inst. She will most probably resume
her old station as flag-ship, at Cork.
The Rose, 18, Commander Pelly, arrived at the Little
Nore on Sunday at noon, and saluted the flag of Sir
Edward King. Orders for paying her off at Sheerness
were waiting her, and she will go into harbour for that
purpose. Her complement is 130.
'The Columbine, 16, sloop, Commander (now Captain)
Booth, was at Bahia, from Chatham, on her way to the
East Indies, Sept. 30, repairing damages, having sprung
her bowsprit on her passage out. As she is one of the
" intuitive" vessels, we presume that the bowsprit was
rotten, and was only intended to last exactly up to the
time when it was sprung.
The Albatross, 16, Commander Farquhar, hoisted the
pendant at Chatham on Thursday last. Her comple-
ment is now 120, 10 less than before.
The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, was yesterday
towed from Chatham to the Nore. She is ordered to
proceed to Spithead to have her compasses adjusted, and
will then be paid advance and proceed to the Mediter-
ranean to relieve the Syren, 16. This brig, as we have
before stated, has 120 men, her complement having been
increased by 10. She has been six weeks in com-
mission.
The Raven, 3, cutter, Commander Stephen, will be
paid off this day at Sheerness, and will then have her
defects made good, and be re-commissioned.
The Seagull, 6, packet brig, Lieutenant Commander
Dickens, was paid wages at Devonport on Saturday, and
will be ready to sail for Falmouth on Wednesday.
The Belvidere, frigate store-ship, Captain Layton, is
to be paid advance at Deptford, and is to proceed without
delay with her provisions to the west coast of Scotland,
where she is to be stationed as a provision depot for the
distressed population of the Highlands.
The Andromeda, store-frigate, Commander Gilbert, is
ordered to be sent from Cork to Killybegs, there to be
moored as a provision depot for that part of the coast of

GOV-FR/COTT OF BOMBAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF TITE SUN.
STR,—I was pleased to observe that your attention had
been drawn t,, the manner in which the chairman of the
Board of Directors of the East India Company has dis-
posed of his patronag2. Three months have elapsed since
the vacancy in tl e government of Bombay occurred.
At length, after the toxin had been inundated for weeks
with reports of various appointments, a gentleman, not
now in Europe and himself uneonsulted, is fixed upon ;
it being confidently believed at the same time by the best
informed persons, that from ill-health, or other causes,
he will not accept the appointment. I would thank you,
Sir, if you would explain to the public the mode in which
this East India patronage is disposed of. Should
the question be put to one of the ordinary directors,
he forthwith informs you, that he knows nothing of the
matter, but that it entirely depends upon the sic cub
ctC jubco of the chair, as the phrase goes, viz., of Sir
James Weir Hogg. Another will tell you that the
whole affair is concocted and arranged between the two
Chairs, and the President of the Board of Control, Sir
J. Ilobliouie ; whiht the journals state that the ap-
pointment has been the result of the unanimous opinion
expressed by the Court of Directors. Passing by the
mischief tint must arise to the State from the uneer-
!ainty in which the public is thus left as to who is re-
ni:snt mb

of Control, having unfortunately no influence
with tke Directors, the 'whole patronage of India
becomes entirely at the mercy of the aforesaid-Chair-
man, Sir James Weir Hogg, to whom it is abandoned
by the other directors, as a species of compensation for
his aid and assistance to them when requisite, and the
pernicious consequence of this is, that at the pres, nt
moment, who shall govern the different Presidencies,
or rule one hundred and fifty millions of people, as
Governor of India, entirely depends upon the good
pleasure of Sir J. W. Hogg, who, from his naturally
poliical prejudices, naturally prefers a Tory to -a man
of liberal politics ; but if, from any untoward accident,
a Tory appointment for the moment should be found
premature, or inconvenient, he will so arrange it
that a temporary substitute, or warming pan, may
be introduced, till the more convenient opportunity
may arise. But, at all events, appoint whom he may,
such a man will declare war to the knife against any one
of any liberal tendencies or comprehensive views, be he
ever so cautious, reflecting or wise. The people of :Eng-
land have a great and national interest in the commer-
cial prosperity of our Eastern empire ; but they do not
deem this the only object worth striving after, nor will
they tolerate such a course. They know that men who
have cautiously, but wisely, and firmly, and successfully,

lent their aid to work out benefits for the mother coun-
try, are not less likely to succeed in procuring great
advantages for our colonial dependencies. They know
that the man who, with these views, would also seek to
improve the moral and political condition of our Indian
possessions, has a claim upon their support, which neither
partialities, nor prejudices, nor intrigues, shall, or can,
defeat.

Ireland. -
The Andromache, store-frigate, Master Commander
Thompson, has been ordered from Cork to Galway,
there to be moored as a provision depot for that portion
of the coast of Ireland.
The Naiad, old 46 gun-frigate, Master Commander
Langton Brown, fitting at Portsmouth as a store-ship,
for Valparaiso, will be ready when she has received her
guns and anchors, and has been painted.
The Terrible, steam- frigate, Captain Ramsay, as soon
as her defects are made good at Devonport, is ordered to
Portsmouth. to land the Royal Marines belonging to that
division, and then to Sheerness, with those belonging to
Chatham. She is to wait further orders at the latter
place. The Terrible has some defects, which arose from
an accident, and will take four days to make good. The
upper part of the framework near the inner bearing on
the port side, in consequence of the two main beams
having shrunk, has severed ; consequently she was
under
obliged to come on with one engine only, and these
circumstances reached Devonport, from
Lisbon, with 600
marines comfortably stowed, on the night of Thursday
last, having left Lisbon on the previous night of Thursday
last, having left Lisbon on the previous Thursday
The'Penelope, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, fitting at
Port,mouth, for Sir C. Hotham's broad pendant on the
coast of Africa, is daily picking up her crew by twos and
threes. Her complement is 260, to make up which she
requires at least 80 petty officers and seamen. Originally
we believe she had above 400 men, but the great mistake
in her " conversion" obliged them to reduce the number
to 320; and these she could not properly stow. She has
now a less number of guns, and will therefore be efficient
with a less number of men. The liroomen which she
will get on the coast will fill up her number to above 300.
The Gorgon, steam-frigate, Commander Crouch, ar-
rived at Falmouth from Monte Video, has been ordered
to Woolwich to be paid off, having been in commission
since November, 1842. Her master, just promoted, and
the Assistant-Surgeon Evan Evans, are the only officers
on board who have been in her during the whole time.
It is well known that but for Sir C. Hotham, her late
gallant captain, and his equally gallant officers and crew,
this vessel, or her wreck, would have sever left the
shore of fiouth America.
