[74
;21 .the associated companies, expressed his pleasure and
)79 surprise at finding the line so much better than he had
143' anticipated could have been obtained through Corn-
wall ; that, in answer to inquiries which were made by
different persons, he repeatedly and strongly stated
that there was no difficulty whatever in crossing Ha-
moaze ; and that no inconvenience would be occasioned
to passengers. We are also 'informed that the South
Devon Company intend to bring their rail down to the
New Passage to meet the Cornish traffic on its having
crossed the water ; and that the mode by which the
railway carriages will be lowered into and raised from
the steam-boat is similar to that in daily use at Bir-
mingham, where the Derby line runs into the station
at a considerably lower level than the main line.— West
