RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.
I The report of the directors, to be submitted to the
shareholders
of this company at the half-yearly
meet-
ing, states that a very great improvement has taken
place in the affairs of the company, both in regard to
its present position and future prospects. Tile almost
unparalleled difficulties which have so long emb-
rassed the directors have been considerably red
ced - and they have no doubt that the financial liabilities
ar
lities'
in a short time, will be entirely removed, and the
undertaking placed on a substantial basis. The lia-
bilities which, in a previous report, were stated to be
50,0001., have been cleared off to the extent of
40,0001., so that an additional 10,0001. will liquidate
the existing claims and leave the company entirely
free from debt. A further sum of 10,0001. will enable
the company to purchase the requisite quantity of
rolling stock and close the capital account. The com-
paratively large outlay in the revenue account during
the half-year is owing to the payment of certain out-
standing claims for stores, &c., which were previously
included in the account of liabilities. • The abstract
of working expenses for the last six months shows
that a profit has been realised by the traffic depart-
ment, which the directors consider satisfactory.
During the half-year considerable progress has been
made in the completion of the Knockwilliam con-
tract, and in the construction of the new works be-
tween Knockwilliam and Mullinavat; and if no un-
foreseen impediments take place, the railway will be
finished to the point of junction with the Waterford
and Limerick Railway in the ensuing spring. Al-
though the expense of constructing the first 17 miles
of railway has been unreasonably high, the economy
which has characterised the arrangements for com-
pleting the remaining portion will reduce the average
so that the cost per mile will bear comparison with
any similar undertaking; and although the popula-
tion has been considerably reduced by emigration,
yet, as the traffic of the district will to a large extent
consist of agricultural produce, the directors still en-
tertain the most favourable opinion as to the remune-
rative character of the line when the traffic shall have
been fully developed. The report of Mr. C. Nixon,
the engineer, states, that the works between Jerpoint
and Mullinavat were commenced in the month of
June last, since which time considerable progress has
been made in the construction of this portion of the
line. Between Jerpoint and Knockwilliam, a dis-
tance of four miles, the greater part of the railway is
completed, so as to receive the permanent way. All
the bridges and culverts on this contract are nearly
finished. As the most active measures are being
taken to obtain possession of the remaining lands to
Dunkitt, or within two miles of Waterford, the en-
gineer hopes to have the line completed to this point
in the course of the ensuing spring. The contractors,
Messrs. Hasler and Ellis, are fully prepared to pro-
ceed with the remaining works in the most active
manner on their being put in possession of the lands.
The locomotive and carrying stock of the company
are being put in a thorough state of repair, and mea-
sures are being taken to obtain contractors for the ad-
ditional stock that will be required on the opening of
a further portion of the railway towards Waterford.
The capital account to the 29th of September shows
that 330,4311. had been received, including 83,0001.
Government loan and 5,0001. other loans ; and
229,000/. expended, including 4,8841. advanced to re-
venue account; leaving a balance in hand of 1,4311.
The revenue account for the half-year ending Sept.
29 shows that 1,7311. had been received, including
421. from last account, and 2,5361. expended, leaving
a balance against the company of 805/. The sum
advanced by capital to revenue account amounts to
4,884/., to meet which there is due to the company
a Mal of 2,1011. from the Irish South-Eastern Com-
pany, 413/. from J. Burke, 1621. for mails, and 7541.
on outstanding debts ; together 3,4311. ; the cash in
hand being 2181., leaves a balance of 1,2381. against
revenue. The cost of locomotive power, including
repairs, averaged 9kd. per mile run. The engines
consumed 301 b. of coke per mile, and ran in the ag-
gregate 20,627 miles during the half-year. The
actual receipts for the six months ending Sept. 29 are
stated to amount to 1,689/., and the actual expenses
to 1,5101., showing a profit on the half-year of 1791.

HACKNEY AND WANSTEAD.

IMPRESSIONS
t the
LONDON. A of the Royal Institute
OF FOREIGN ARCHITECTS AS TO
opening meeting
of Architects, on the 17th inst., the Foreign Secretary said—
" I am gratified in being able to state that the impression on
the minds of most of these intelligent and experienced
architects in regard to the state of our art in this country, is
extremely satisfactory. Unfostered as the English architect
is by the immediate patronage of the Government, generally
limited in the means placed at his disposal, they have found
that he has sought, and not without success, to ennoble his
conceptions, not so much by the refinements of decoration or
the concurrence of the sister arts, as by the largeness of dis-
position, by simplicity of design, and by the dimensions of
his work. The noble—the useful—the convenient—the ne-
cessaries and first wants of life have been sought in all their
highest development, rather than the ornamental ; and suc-
cess has to a great degree attended this peculiar and sober
treatment of architecture in England. The variety and ex-
cellence of our materials, now being fully brought into play
by skilful adaptation, also seemed to strike our foreign friends.'

Redman, Mr, Braithwaite, Mr. Grisseil, Mr. Phipps, Mr.
Wishaw, Mr. Howell, Mr. Renton, Mr. Beardmore, Mr.
Turner.

Mr. PEARSON had prepared a model of the proposed
improvements, but, previous to opening it, he wished to
make a few prefatory observations. He said that he
occupied his time for the last fifteen years mainly with
three great cbjects—improvement of prisons, cheap gas,
and a central City terminus for the railways. In the
two first he had succeeded, and was happy in having
saved the city of London 67,0001. a year the price of
their gas.
Now his great object was the central ter.
minus, and o now or never" be believed was the time
for carrying it out. The corporation had got an Act for
the construction of a new street from Farringdon-street
to Clerkenwell Sessions-house, through the valley of the
Fleet, but he was confident they would modify their plan
into whatever might meet with the public sanction.
London was the metropolis of the world, and had a right,
therefore, to look further than the interests or views
merely of her own immediate citizens. During the last
so
few years, the. obstructions had '*
much increased in
at
several of the thoroughfares that men of business b • a found
the greatest difficulty in getting to the various public
establishments, and the shopkeepers in the City had been
seriously injured by the difficultye ersf
banished people of condition frost their
which almost
eir. warehouses. Be
attributed this greatly increased crowding of the streets
to the distance of the various railway stations from
. the
centres of business ;in short, he believed that. if all the
termini were so distant it would bei ()amble every
night to empty London of its migratory
The next cause was the situation of the population.
depots for goods. Gresham-street iv:areaway City
blocked up, so was Lawrence-lane, so was Basing-lane,
completely
and so was the Old Bailey, and the passage of
c
arts and
vans backwards and forwards rendered these
r
completely useless as lateral channels of communication.
The next cause was the now migratory character of the
citizens
citizens of London ; it seemed as if they were acted
upon alternately by a centrifugal and centripetal force
flying out of town at night, and into it again in the
morning. From the census calculations it would appear
that the City population had decreased one half in the
last half century, but if the census had been taken in
i
the day time instead of at night t would have been
found to have increased to sixfold in that time. he
had himself made calculations, from which it appeared
that the value of property had increased 129
per cent.—(bear, hear.) This arose from the City
being the habitat of so many of the great establishments
of the country. The late Sir Al. Wood had, so fer
back as the year 1817, endeavoured to provide
for the then growing traffic by some new streets which
formed part of his (Mr. Pearson's) present plan, but in
rain. Now, however, the time was come when some ar-
rangement of the kind was indispensable. Hedid not mean
to say that the plan he submitted to them was the best
that could be proposed, but he contended that it had two
'advantages, a surface way for ordinary traffic, and a sub-
service for the railways. One of the great difficulties in
urban railways had hitherto been the expense of site, as
ail the building- ground in the vicinity was rendered use-
less, but his plan would improve the site as building
ground, and create an •enormous estate in ground rents.
He bad only to say that he had expended fifteen years'
labour and 2,000/. on his plan, but he demanded no
money for it. All he said upon that score, that if, when
his plan had been two or three years in full operation,
the shareholders should think fit to vote him a grant of
money, he would be very much obliged and accept it.
—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Pearson then uncovered
his model, and proceeded to explain in detail the dif-
ferent alterations he contemplated. His explanations
were similar to those which have already been published
at length in the proceedings of the Court of Common
Council, and amounted substantially to thia—
that he proposed to construct a great ar-
terial street, to be called Victoria-street, from
King's-cross to Farringdon-street, the roadway to be
tunnelled all through, the tunnel serving as a railway.
This railway is to be 100 feet wide with fear double
lines of rails, and down the sides are to be great markets
for meat and vegetables, receiving-houses for goods, and
passenger stations. Two great passenger stations at the
two corners of Farringdoa-street, and various new cross
streets aro to relieve the contemplated increase in the
number of persons drawn to that locality. Viaducts are
to be thrown over Holborn-valley, and the Valley of the
Fleet, and one great street is to run from St. Martin's-
le-Grand to Carey-street, Chancery-lane. Mr. Pearson
entered into minute calculations to show that the accom-
modation for foot-passengers would be six times as much
as they at present possessed in Fleet-street, and that om-
nibuses and cabs would be similarly accommodated. Of
the probable cost of his plan he would not speak, as Mr.
Walker and Mr. Higgins were at present making calcu-
lations by direction ut the Corporation; but this much he
would say, that he believed it would be ridiculously
small in proportion to the benefit to be derived. It was
.the opinion of far-seeing people that the iron road
would aliiinqtely supersede our coasting trade, of which
the city of Lornlcn, in pos.essing the Thames, held the
key. But if the Thames ceased to be the key, they
must endeavour to get command of the iron road, or
• hey would soon lose all the advantages of their position.
Mr. Pearson was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his
observatious.
