RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND NORTH* WESTERN.----A t a recent
meeting of the inhabitants of Kilburn and its vicinity,
to receive the report of the deputation appointed to
wait on the directors of the London and North-
Western Company, it was stated that the directors
would take measures for the construction of a station
at Kilburn, so soon as the new route by the East and
West India Dock Railway, from Chalk Farm to the
Blackwell Railway, shall be completed. Every ex-
ertion on the part of the inhabitants would be made to
improve the approaches to the intended station and to
obtain the removal of the turnpike gate, which at
present forms a barrier to the entrance at Kilburn.
The Bell Tavern gardens having been considered as
the most eligible site, the landlord of the tavern ex
pressed his willingness to do everything in his power
to assist the directors in forming the station by
letting them have the requisite land at a reason-
able rate.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AY.D WOLVERHAMPTON.—
It appears that arrangements have been entered into
with this company by the Shrewsbury and Ches-
ter and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com-
panies for working the line, when completed,
between Worcester and Dudley. It is expected
that the arrangement will be mutually advantazeous
to all parties; that it will enable'the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton Company to complete the
best portion of their line, and that it will have the
effect of increasing the traffic on the other two lines.
The Oxford line will join the Stour Valley line at
Tipton, and passengers will be conveyed over it from
Worcester to Wolverhampton, and thence over the
Serewsbury and Birmingham, and Shrewsbury and
Chester Railways, to Shrewsbury, Cheater, Birken-
head, and Liverpool.
CLYDESDALE JUNCTION.--The committee of share-
holders, appointed to confer with the Caledonian
Railway directors respecting the guaranteed shares
of the above company, state that while counsel
strongly recommends a compromise in consequence of
the points at issue being very complex and involved,
he at the same time advises the immediate institution
of legal proceedings by
all against the Caledonian
Company, that those parties who have had recourse
thereto might not obtain a preference. The commit-
tee recommend this course to be adopted by the share-
holders to protect their interest, and, with a view to
save expense, to co-operate with the Messrs. Baird.
They conclude by stating that if any reasonable pro-
position of compromise be made they trust that the
shareholders will accede to it.
CARNARYON.SIIIRE.--Surveys for a line from
Bangor, on tne Chester and Holyhead Railway,
through the north-west of Wales, are now being
made, and should all the landowners be favourable,
the line will be commenced at once, and made during
the winter from Bangor to Port Dinorwic.
RAILWAY RATING.—At the various Quarter Ses-
sions just held, the important question of railway
rating, in connexion with the railway companies ap-
pealing against assessment, has come under the con-
sideration of the .magistrates with different results.
in the case of the Midland Railway, on the section of
their line from Derby to Leeds, a-rrangernents have
just been made with the seventy parishes along the
line, by which a reduction of about one•third on the
sums paid for parochial rates during the last six years
has been agreed to. The magistrates have confirmed
the rate of 5001. per mile in the town of IN olver-.
Rail-
way, against the claim of the com p an to be rated at
hampton, on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham
only 150/ per mile, the amount of asy sessniont on other
portions of the line. The South-Eastern Company
have been assessed at 5001. per mile on their Isle of
Thanet line; but their appeal against being rated for
their Chilian line has been respited until the decision
of the Court of Queen's Bench on the
general ques-
tion of railway rating is made known. An order has
payment of
been served on the company for paythe
on their Folkstone line, other wise a distress
.lissue ;
rates
and an order has likewise been issued against the
London and North-Western Railway for payment of
instead of 1001. per mile, as contended for by the com-
pany.
the rate of 4681. per mile in the Saddleworth district,

THE DIS•UNIONISTS..---It is said that two Tracia-
rian Bishops have been in communication with the heads of
the minority at the late Bristol Union Meeting, and that an
effort will be made early in the ensuing month towards
compromising matters by proposing a new form of dec'ara-
tion of faith, which may detach some of the less advanced
of the Romanisers from their chief. It is not, however
anticipated that the motion will find much favour, as a larg '
proportion of the rank and file of Dr. Pusey's Ma ;
jority large
believed to be so completely Romanised that the agitation
against State ascendancy is only entertained as a means of
facilitating communion with the Church of Rome, unfet-
tered by State enactments and restrictions.—Church
