continuation of the Newcastle and North Shields—fell
in, about the centre, on Wednesday morning. As the
circumstance (says our correspondent) has given rise to
many exaggerated rumours, it is satisfactory to be able
to state that neither loss of life nor injury to limb has
been sustained, and that the occurrence is not likely to
postpone the completion of the line much beyond the
anticipated period.
AUSTRALIAN LINES.—By the last mail from Sydney
we learn that a deputation comprising several members
of the Legislative Council and the Mayor of that colony,
waited upon his Excellency the Governor, with the view,
principally, of ascertaining how far he would be dis-
posed to recommend her Majesty's Government to intro-
duce or sanction a Bill for authorising free grants of
whatever Crown lands might be required for railway
purposes. We understand his Excellency expressed his
readiness to make such a recommendation, so far, at
least, as relates to the actual lines, and a reasonable ex-
tent of land on either side.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN LINE (SYDNEY).—
A public meeting has been held at Sydney, for the pur-
pose of adopting measures for the formation of a line
from that port to Goulburn and Windsor, to be called
the Great Southern and Western. The Mayor was
called to the chair. Mr. Bradley, M.L.C., in moving the
first resolution, proceeded at some length to explain the
great advantage the colony would derive from the in-
tended line, and that the outlay would not exceed
1,000,0001. Mr. H. G. Smith said that amount would
be the capital of the company, to be held in 50,000
shares of 20/. each, of which three-fourths would be re-
served for British capitalists. They were not going to
make railways on the scale they were formed in Great
Britain. Probably they would not lay down more than
a single line ; this might be laid on wooden sleepers.
Resolutions were then approved of in respect to the for-
mation of the company, and the provisional committee-
men, who were chosen by the meeting, were empowered,
on 9,000 shares being subscribed for, to apply to the
Colonial Legislature for an Act of incorporation.
BATHURST AND SYDNEY.---A meeting has also taken
place at Bathurst, to promote the construction of a line
from that town to Sydney. Major-General Stewart pre-
sided. It was resolved, that the growing importance of
this and the surrounding districts, and their increase in
trade and commerce, coupled with the great advantages
they possess for the growth of grain of all kinds, and
for pastoral pursuits, render it highly desirable that a
railway communication should be established with
Sydney. A committee was appointed for the establish-
ment of a company.

REMANETS FOR NEXT SESSION.
The legacy of legislation (says the Railway Chronicle)
left by 1846 to 1847 turns out to be much more for-
midable than has been supposed. Upwards of sixty pro-
jected railways, lost last session, are to be brought for-
ward in the next. Already, also, a couple of new lines
are projected from London directly west by Oxford and
Cheltenham; one by the broad, and its rival by the
narrow gauge promoters. Neither of these is a solitary
line, or a final measure. The dispute is all for Wales;
and each of these will merely be the trunk for a
group of Welsh lines, by which the Great Western
and the North-Western will dispute the large traffic
intermediate between the broad and narrow gauge
districts.

The Leicester and Bedford is another new project
for 1847. It is a child of the Great Northern, and
Messrs. Cubitt and Gibbs are the engineers. The line is
to proceed from Leicester through Bedford to Hitchin,
there to join the Great Northern. There are to be
150,000 shares of 101. each, one-half of which are
for the shareholders of the old Leicester and Bed-
ford, and the other half for the Great Northern Com-
pany.

jects are competing lines. These are indicated by
