IL RAILWAYS, THB BUILDING OF WHICH APPEARS
PRETTY CERTAIN.
1. Magdeburg to Oschersleben, about 611 German
miles • cost computed at 1,700,000 rixdollars. anpfuly
already formed, and shares taken.
2. Oschersleben to Wolfenbuttel, about 6i German

Government ; will cost the same as the former.
3. Breslau and Freiburg Railway, with side-line to
Schweidnitz, 8i miles long ; will cost 2,000,000 rix-
dollars.
4. Rhine and Weser Railway, from Deutz (near Co-
logne), by Elberfeld, Westhofen, and Ham, to Minden,
will most likely be built, as it is a highly necessary one;
will be 34 German miles long, and may cost about
6,120,000 rixdollars.
5. Bonn and Cologne Railway, 4 miOs long, will cost
750,000 rixdollarsdjhas already gained the permission
of the Governmen
6. Nuremberg ut-Bamberg and Hof on the frontier
continued ' • one ofstlia Saxon and Bavarian lines. The
expense of this line, which will be about 20 German
miles long, is computed at 4,667,000 rixdollars. The

Company wish to build it as far as Riess, which will cost
in all 3,500,000 rixdollars, and be 15 German miles long.
9. Brunswick and Hanover Railway to Minden.--
This forms a part of the grand line from Magdeburg to
Minden. A treaty is already made between the various
Governments through which it passes for its erection.
The divisions to Magdeburg, Oschersleben, and Wolfen-
buttel are already mentioned. The Hanover division
will be 17 miles long, and cost 3,230,000 rixdollars.
Uncertain whether the Government of Hanover will
build it or a private company.
10. The railway from Altona to Kiel appears to be the
most likely for the joining of the North Sea with the
Baltic ; it will also be the most profitable line. A
company already is formed and privileged. It will be
13 German miles long, and the cost is computed at
2,794,000 rixdollani.
The line mentioned in this division will have a gross
length of 124 German miles, andls.ottihencyosctoiNnTrEemunrdLAnz

RESIGNATION pF MR. SERGEANT ARABIIi.
—We are happy to bear that the above Learned Gentle-
man is going On very favourably, considering the painful
operation he underwent on Saturday last, but it is under-
stood that he will never resume those judioial duties
that he has performed for many years, hence the Judge-
ship of the Sheriffs Court fur the City, and his seat in
the Central Criminal Court, will become vacant. W 0
understand that Mr. Hyland, who has long been the
senior barrister in the former Court, will be elected to
the first situation as successor to Mr. Sergeant Arable
without opposition. We hear that the Learned Gentle
wan has declared that in the event of his elevation to the
Bench he will, if business and public convenience require
it, preside three times weekly, instead of twice afortuh_.l;t7
