RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE, DONCASTER, AND GOOLE.—
Mr. Sheridan reported from the Committee that the
objects of the Bill were to make a diversion of the
main line, 1 miles in length, near Doncaster, and of
a short branch therefrom, a quarter of a mile in
length, the construction of which will not involve
any further outlay of capital beyond that which the
company are at present authorised to raise, the
steepest gradient being one in 107, and the smallest
radius of a curve one furlong ; three roads to be
crossed on the level. The clauses for the increase of
tolls had been struck out by the committee. A clause
was inserted in the Bill enabling the company, at the
discretion of a general meeting, to give a priority of
dividend, not exceeding 7 per cent., to certain of their
shares.
The other Bill, for the amendment of Acts devia-
tions, to Wadworth, &c., will not involve the neces-
sity of any further outlay of capital beyond that
which the company are at present authorised to raise.
The steepest gradient is 1 in 63, upon a coal branch,
on which the traffic will descend, and smallest radius

Ms• Grtoom's TULIP SHOW.—Th, private view of
the superb collection of tulips cultivated at the garden of
Mr Groom, at Clapham, was afforded yesterday to many of
the nobility and others inte.rested in II ,riculture. The bed,
containing upward:. of 2,000 tulips, displayed the scientific
skill of the grower, and exhibited some of the rarest speci-
mens of the flowers. Amongst the varieties were the Victoria
I:egina, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Sutherland,
Marshal Soult, Imperatrix Florum, &c. The coldness of the
weather has in some degree prevented the full development
of the flower-, which are, nevertheless, in a perfect healthy
sate. The collection is among the best which the cultivator
has produced lit t t,e course of the day his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge paid a visit to the grounds, and a
large number of the aristocracy.
