RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

There is every prospect that the telegraph between
New York and Boston will be completed as far as
New Haven by the time the next stearwhip arrives at
Boston.

Snow in the Unted States appears to have been fall-
ing in such qunntiti<_•s as materially to impede the traffic
of tlp! main lines.

TQcRs AND NANTES.—The works on this line are
urged with such activity. that the section from Tours to
Saumur is likely to be finished in a year. The road-
way and the stations are being constructed at the same
time. _ _

BORDEAUX AND BAYONN E.—The conferences which
have taken place b .tween the military engineers and the
agents of the pods ct chaussees, on the subj,ct of the
direction to be taken by this line, were brought to a
termination on Monday. The result is, that the line is
to quit the railway from Thrdeaux to the Aledit, rranean
at Podensae, follow the Valley of the Ciron, and cross
the great plain of the Landes, to arrive at the Mont-de-
Marsan. Quitting that city, the line will follow the
course of the Midouze, reach the right bank of the
Adour, and arrive at Bayonne near the fortifications.
THE SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM.—A petition
to Parliument in savour of this line, SRNs our Birming-
ham correspond( nt, was laid before the iromnrtsters'
meeting at Birmingham on Thursday, and signed by all
the irontnasters of the district through which the line
will pass.
PERTH AND INVERNESS.—WINDING UP.—At a
meeting of the suberibers, just held at Perth, it was re-
solved—" That the altered state of the money market,
and of the general circumstances of the country since
this scheme was projected, render it eminently advisable
that the same should not be further proceeded with in
'the meantime, but that the deposits, less the expenses.
should be immediately returned, and all parties freed
from their obligations up to this date, leaving to the
scripholders a preference in the scheme should it after-
wards be returned."

Within the la .t fi-w weeks (says the Doncaster Gazette)
Messrs. Flower and Co., of Gainsborough whar fingers,
have established a regular steam communication between
Gainsborough and London. The railways I:(1 nearly
destro) ed the legitimate trade of Gainsborough by di-
vertir:g the traffic into other channels.
The directors of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield
have resolved not to wind up the concern at present, but,
to return 11. per share forthwith to the shareholders.

The 6heffi,ld and Manchester are ab,ut to commence
:heir locomotive establishment at Gorton. _

The clause to be proposed by Mr. Hudson, after
Easter, to be inserted in all railway Acts, provides that
registered shareholders, "at a meeting called for the
purpose of dissolution, at which meeting three-fifths of
the registered proprietors shall be present, either per-
sonally or by proxy, shall be enabled to dissolve, having
given full compensation to all landowners for any losses
which they may have sustained from the operation of
the Act." .

WINDING-"CP.--There are vigorous efforts now being
made at Birmingham on the part of the shareholders in
several of :he lines projected last year, and now In pro-
gress through Parliament, to get the directors to witi--
draw them for the present and wind-up. A great num-
ber of sharehclders in the Direct Leicester have already
signed a nu morial to the directors to call a meeting of
suhscriberi with a view to close the business of the
