THE BRIGHTON SEASON.

We (says the Brighton Gazette) may state with cer-
tainty that the town was never so full of fashionable ♦isi-
tors as it is at the present time, considering that a new
town has sprung up in the neighbourhood, composed
of first-class houses, called Clifton ville, fully occupied.
It has proved a sort of El Dorado to some speculators,
and it adds very much to the importance of Brighton as
a fashionable watering place. Cliftonville is situated
about half a mile distant from the western extremity of
Brighton, and it is really astonishing that the place
should so soon be occupied, not only by visitors, but by
persons in easy circumstances, who take every oppor-
tunity of purchasing a permanent abode in this, what
may be termed a new fashionable locality. We have i❑
Brighton our Albion, Bedford, York, and other hotels of
a first-class character, and to meet the requirements of
Cliftonville, the Sussex Hotel, under the able manage-
merit of Mr. Jones, has been built, and, from the excel-
lence of the accommodation, forms an adjunct to this new
fashionable resort of the most recherche character.
Brighton proper, as we should say in political or paro-
chial parlance, has been and is doing a great business,
and we may indeed pride ourselves upon the positio❑
which we hold in the fashionable world, which is more
than ever favourable to the interests of the town. Some
towns boast of their 4,000 and 5,000 visitors, and not
improperly so, but Brighton may boast at the present
time of its 40,000 or 50,000 visitors, and it will be
few wide of the mark. Long as we have reeided i❑ the
town, we have been astonished to see the rapidly grow-
ing increase and prosperity of Brighton. Our arrivals
continue to far outnumber the departures, as will be seen
by our fashionable columns.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN.

The adjourned special meeting of this company was
held yesterday at Radley's Hotel, to receive a report
from the directors with regard to improving the posi•
Lion of the company, and extending the line to Armagh ;
➢Tr. Lattimore in the chair. It was estimated that
160,0001. would complete the line, and it was proposed
to provide that amount by the issue of 16,000 extension
shares of 101. each, upon which 5 per cent, was to be
guaranteed as a first charge on the undertaking. The
existing shares of tho Newry Company would be con-
verted into 101. shares, in the proportion of three to
each 101. share, such shares to form a deferred stock,
having a second charge on the revenue of the railway,
and to be entitled to 4 per cent, per annum ; the sur-
plus, if any, to be divided between the preferential or
guaranteed shares and the deferred shares, so that the
former would al ways Lave 1 percent. more than the latter.
The directors recommended that application should be
made to Parliament in the ensuing session to renew the
powers for constructing the line from Newry to Armagh.
The directors did not expect that more than another ss.
call on the old shares would be necessary to clear off all
the liabilities of the company.
In reply to questions it was stated that the holders of
old shares would not be compelled to subscribe for new
shares. The Ulster carrying company were prepared
to take 1,000 stares in the new capital for making the
line to Armagh.
The report was unanimously adopted.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con-
eluded the proceedings.

LOWESTOFT AND BECCLES.
The general riveting of this company was held at
Lowestoft on Saturday ; Mr. R. Leathes in the chair.
The directors and auditors having been chosen, the
meeting resolved itself into a special one, to authorise2
the extension of the leasing of the line, and to amalga-
mate with the East Suffolk.
___

Resolutions were then ea/Tied approving of the offer
made by Sir M. Peto to extend the lease of 14 years to
the term of 21 years, at the same guaranteed rent of 61.
per cent, per annum, authorising the directors t) nego-
tiate the terms of the proposed amalgamation with the
East Suffolk Company, and to make application to Par-
liament to sanction the arrangement. Tho proceedings
then terminated.
