RAILWAYS.

The London and Windsor Railway Company
propose to use horses instead of steam-coaches.
The travelling is to be performed in carriages drawn
by a single horse; and estimating by what is done
on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the jour-
hey, it is calculated, will be about an hour and a
half, the distance on the railroad being not quite
twenty miles. The line commences at Paddington,
near the Portman-market ; will cross the Grand
Junction Canal and the River Brent, about three
n:ile's from Brentford, by a viaduct of four arches;
froo Ownce it will continue direct to North Hyde,
and t;:enc!l by Harmondsworth and Colnbrook to
Datchet and Eton, and terminate on the bank of the
Thames above Windsor Bridge. North Hyde will
become the depository for coals, merchandise, and
all bulky articles. This will unite the Grand Junc-
tion and Paddington Canals by a railroad of ten
miles, with the navigable part of the Thames above
the upper dock at Windsor Bridge. A branch road
is also contemplated from the depot at North Hyde
to Staines.
The Swansea canal reaches about ten miles, to
the confines of Brecon, near Yniscedwin ; to meet
this, the Brecon Forest tramroad extends about
sixteen miles, beginning at Castell-du (nine miles
from Brecon on the Milford mail road), and ending
at the Drim mountain. This space is filling up by a
tramroad on a superior construction, calculated for
locomotive engines, and will be opened in the spring,
The immediate obj, et of this tramroad is the con.
veyance of coal, timber, slates, and other seaborne
goods, into the western parts of Brecon and eastern
of Carmarthenshire ; and agricultural produce, lime,
&c., in return, towards Swansea and the collieries,
iron and copper works, and surrounding country.
The distance from Castell-du to Brecon is only nine
miles, and the Hay tramroad reaches from Brecon
so Hay and Kington towards Hereford and Wor-
rester.
The number of shares subscribed towards the
t3ristol and London railroad, up to Friday, amounted
to nine hundred and ninety.
Saturday was witnessed the trial of a newly-
constructed locomotive engine, made for the con-
tractors on the Leeds and Selby railway. The en-
gine is capable of conveying goods or passengers on
this line forty miles an hour, with one bushel of fuel
from Selby to Leeds.
LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAlLWAY.—Ap-
plication will be made to Parliament next Session
for leave to bring in a Bill for forming a Railway
from London to Southampton. The line is intended
to commence near Nine Elms-lane, Vauxhall, and
to terminate near the Marsh, in the parish of Holy
hood, Southampton, passing through Battersea,
'Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Thames Ditton, Kings-
ton, Chertsey, Woking, Farnborough, Odiham,
Basing, Basingstoke, Woodmancote, Weston Col-
ley, lichen Abbotts, Winchester, Bishop's Stoke,
Stoneham, &c.
LEML—The branch railway now perceptibly ad-
vances. The declivity from the Edinburgh road,
at the entrance of Portobello to Leith, amounts to
six inches in five hundred yards, and, with this
apparently trifling fall, it is estimated that a wag-
gon or rail-coach will make its way to Leith solely
by the impetus produced by this partial inclination.
NEW RAILWAY TO LIVERPOOL—The proprietors
of the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Navi-
otion and Railway, at a general meeting, have
come to the resolution (among others) of making
opplica 101 l to Parliament, in the ensuing session,
for au Act to extend their line of railway from the
Manchester and Bolton line to the notthi end of
Liverpool.

A colossal statue of the Chancellor of' the
Exchequer, Lord Althorp, has been modelled by Mr.
Butlin, an artist of rising reputation. The model is now
being cast in metal. The statue will, when completed,
be erected at Northampton, in honour of his Lordship.
Accounts from Algiers to the 6th inst. men-
tion the arrival of the persons composing the commission
sent by the French Government to inquire into the state
of the Colony, and to report whether it was advisable to
retain it or not. It was stated that the Commissioners
had declared that it would be highly dishonourable fur
France to abandon its conquest, and, besides that, public
opinion was so decided and so pronounced upon the sub-
ject that no Minister would venture to propose it to the
Chambers. A mutiny had broken out at Oran. General
D„roichels having ordered a non-commissioned officer of
the rq;iment of African Chasseurs to be punished, the
whole corps issued en masse from the barracks, protesting
against the sentence, and by force preventing the execution
of the order. The rappel was immediately beate-, and
all the troops of the jarrison got under arms, but this had
not the effect of appeasing the mutineers, and the General,
fearing the consequence of having recourse to strong mea-
sures while the men were so infuriated, promised that the
case of the non-commissioned officer should be attentively
se-examined, and by that means calmed the insubor-

flinacian,
A Coroner's inquest was held at the Wheal
Sheaf Tavern, Southampton, on Tuesday evening, and
