FATE OF THE LINCOLZ.qSiIIRE LINES.
In December last we published a list of the thirty-nine
Lincolnshire linestprojected)for which applications were
to be made to Parliament; ROW that the session is over,
and the warfare closed, the result of the contest will be
interesting.
Of these thirty-nine lines, twenty-two were intended
to come to or through Lincoln; out of these, seven lines
have been passed, and the branch of No. 12, and of these
three lines only come to the city.
GROUP I.
No. 1. The London and York.—Passed in its in-
tegrity. Loop included. The Sheffield and Wakefield
Branches (separate Bills) were rejected.
No. 2. The Direct Northern.—The shares amalga-
mated with the London and York. The line itself aban•
doned.

No. 3. The Cambridge and Lincoln.—Rejected in
Committee of House of Commons.
No. 4. Eastern Counties.—Extension from Cambridge
to York, rejected with No. 3.
No. 5. Eastern Counties.—Extension from Lincoln to
York, rejected with No. 3.
No. 6. Eastern. Counties.—March and Lincoln Exten-
sion.—Terms made with the Wishech and St. Ives.
No. 23, line passed from March to Spalding.
GROUP 11.
No. 7. Lincoln and Hull Line.—The money was not
deposited. Dropped through.
Na. 8. Hull and Lincoln.—Preamble declared not
proved in the Commons. 17s. 6d-.lle-allare has been re
turned on deposit (21. 26.).
No. 9. Great Grimsby and Sheffield Extension from
Lincoln to Market Rasen.—Pissed. This line commu-
nicates at Market Rasen with the Great Grimsby and
Sheffield line, passed last year. It gives a through line
from Hull to Lincoln, and running into the Nottingham
and Lincoln station there, with the Midland Counties
and the West of England. It will join the Loop line of
the London and York, about six miles east of Lincoln,
and thus give a direct line from Hull to London.
No. 10. The Great Grimsby, Louth, Horneastle, Lin-
coln, and Midlands Junctions.—Dissolved before going
into Committee. IL Is. per share has been returned on
the deposit (2/. 25.), and 10s. 6d. more is expected.
GROUP 111.

No. 11. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction line,
from Lincoln, through East Retford and Worksop to the
station of the Sheffield and Manchester line at Sheffield,
with a branch from Retford to Gainsborougb, there join-
ing the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line. Passed.
This line gives a direct communication from Lin-
coln to Sheffield, Rotherham, Manchester, and
Liverpool, and the branch to Gainsborough gives
the same advantage to North Lincolnshire, Great
Grimsby and Hull. The Great Grimsby and
Sheffield Junction passed last year was somewhat mis-
named, being, in fact, only a line from Gainsborough
to Great Grimsby, with one branch northwards to New
Holland, and another southward to Market Rasen.
The Sheffield and Lincoln line now passed gives the
junction with Sheffield and the west, and it is expected
that the Sheffield and Manchester, the Sheffield and
Lincoln, and the Great Grimsby and Sheffield will be
shortly amalgamated into ono company.
No. 12. The Manchester and Lincoln Union. This
was an opposing line with the Sheffield and Lincoln,
over exactly the same ground, with the addition of a
branch from Worksop to Chesterfield. This branch (by
arrangement with the Sheffield and Lincoln) is passed.
The line itself abandoned.

No. 13. The Direct Lincoln, East Retford, and
Sheffield did not collect sufficient funds to make the
deposit.

No. 14. The Lincoln, Wainfleet,_ and Boston Haven.
The plans were found to be very defective, and the line
nf.ver went before Standing Orders' Committee.

been returned.

No. 15. The Northampton and Lincoln.-The money
was never raised to make the deposits.

own line was rejected.
No. 17. The Lincoln and Grantham.-Could not ob-
tain any deposits.
No. 18. The Lincoln and Oakham.--The same.

propriated

ties, Cambridge, and Huntingdon, runs through Somers-
ham, Chatteris, and March, to Wisbech, thence to

EXCURSION TRAINS ON THE GREAT WESTERN.-On
Monday afternoon the first excursion train from Bristol
and Gloucester arrived at the Paddington Terminus of
the Great Western. The train %Vas an unusually heavy
one, the number who availed themselves of the trip
amounted to nearly.l,Boo persons ; the train was im-
pelled by one engine (the Ajax), and performed the
journey at an average speed approaching 35 miles an
hour. The return journey will take place this afternoon,
when it is expected a much larger number will go down,
as several missed the train on the up journey, and were
obliged to take their passage by the next conveyance.
EXPERIMENTAL TRIP ON THE ROUEN AND HAVRE.
-The first experimental trip on the Rouen and
Havre Railway took place en Sunday last, and proved
to be a remarkably successful one. The extent of the
trip was from the station at Havre to the magnificent
viaduct at Mereville, a distance of about eighteen Eng-
lish miles. The Wain was under the special and personal
direction of Mr. Charles Laffitte himself, who was de-
sirous of practically exhibiting to the residents of llavre
hP ontsChaussees resident
whose
et communes l
and its neighbourhood the solidity and safety of the line
as far as it has been prepared. Ile was accompanied.by
the sous-prifet of Havre, the mayors of Havre,
the line
runs),lou-
ile,
at Havre, the principal editors of the Havre and Rouen
journals, and many of the most eminent merchants of
Havre, who unanimously and unreservedly expressed
yandthe
engineersGr av il le (
et (through r o
theug
their approbation of the ease with which the train per-
formed its work, and the solidity of the bed of the road,
which was declared by competent judges to be equal to
that of any line in existence, either in England or France.
The train ran at the rate of twenty miles an hour, stopping
at Harfieur, and at Etainhus, the first station on the line
from Havre. Arrived at Mereville the company alighted,
and, with M. Laffitte at their head, partook of a cold col-
lation, laid out on the crown of the viaduct, after which
they made a cursory inspection of this truly magnificent
pile
of brick and mortar. It has fifty-two arches, stretch-
ing over one of the loveliest valleys in Normandy,wbere
valleys are not " few and far between;" and its appear •
ante impressed every one present with a thorough con-
viction of its great solidity. Whatever feeling of dis-
gust might have been entertained respecting this line
since the fall of the Barentin viaduct, the experiment
made on Sunday last is calculated entirely to remove it.
All present acknowledged that the company had well
profited by that unfortunate accident to place the works
on the line in such a condition of solidity and security as
to avoid any possible recurrence of the like misfortunes.
Even the local journals, whose hostility towards thecom-
pany and the contractors had become almost proverbial,
are at length constrained to give their unqualified praise
to both. Everything bids fair to see .the line perma-
nently opened, according to the present 'intentions of the
company, in the course of the month of October, The
