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, 4 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 I in 63, upon a coal branch,
on which the traffic will descend, and smallest radius
of a curve 12 chains. The two deviations are to-
gether nine miles in length, and the extension of the
Elseoar branch 21 miles ; the extensions and devia-
tions to cross 18 roads on the level. Estimated Mgt
of works 208,0001. Land required, 1'25 acres.

GILOONCS Tula* Snow.—The 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 interested in floriculture. The bed,
containing upwards 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
Regina, 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 flowers, which are, nevertheless,: in a perfect healthy
state. The collection is among the best which the cultivator
has produced. In the course of the day his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge paid a yitiit to the grounds, And a
large number of the aristocracy,
