RAIL TVA Y INTEL LIG ENCE.

A new railway is projected from London to
Brighton, Sussex, England, on which it is contem-
plated to run carriages upon a combination of the
American and English systems, with a free passage
throughout the length of the train, and smoking
and refreshment rooms at either end. The Ameri-
can luggage system might at the same time be tried.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Railway Company, though its President has entered
a protest against any further payment of the tax
levied by the Legislature of Delaware on travel, and
its refusal, any longer to collect it from travellers
crossing the State, those entering it from other
States, or those leaving it for other States. It will
be remembered that the United States Supreme
Court last winter decided this per capita passenger
tax by the States to be unconstitutional.
Ile gross receipts of the Oil Creek and Alleg-
heny Railroad Company for the six months ending
the Ist of October amounts to $920,000. Of this
$348,591 is appropriated for operating the road,
and $65,000 for construction and equipment, leav-
for the six months $506,509 for interest on bonded
debt and dividends on stock. The company having
no floating debt, contemplate, we learn, in future
to divide their net earnings. The old Oil Creek
Road used to divide 25 per cent. in dividends.
The receipts for September reach $200,000, an ave-
rage of over two millions per annum.
The location of the Des Moines Valley lowa
Railroad is now completed northward thirty-three
miles to Alton, Dallas County. The line passes
four miles north-east of Adel, the county seat of
that county. Contractors are pushing the work of
the lowa and Minnesota Railroad from Des Moines
to Ames, on the Chicago and North-Western Rail-
road, with vigour.
ERIE RAILWAY EXTENSION.—Parties in the inte-
rest of the Erie Railway Company are surveying a
line of railway between their track in .Buffalo and
Niagara Falls, and we understand that the work of
building the line is to be commenced immediately,
the probability being that it will be opened for
business early next summer. '1 he new track will
begin at a point near the Cattle Yards, and take a
direct line to Niagara Falls, avoiding Black Reek,
but touching Tonawanda. The route, as surveyed,
is, we are informed, considerably shorter than the
present line of the New York Central Railroad to the
Falls. Trains on the new route will depart from
the Erie depot on Exchange-street. This is a very
important piece of work, not only for the Erie Com-
pany, but for the great Western Railway of
Canada and for Buffalo. It will give the Erie
another route to Chicago, independent of its con-
nection with the Lake Shore line. It will give the
Great Western another route to New York and the
east, independent of its connection with the New
York Central, It will give Buffalo the advantage.

of another route to the Falls, and will inevitably
bring a great addition to its railway traffic in busi-
ness which has hitherto gone by the way of Sus-
pension-bridge and Dunkirk. It had been known
for sometime that the company were preparing to
send the bulk of their through business by way of
Buffalo instead of by Dunkirk as formerly.
The great repair and construction shops, also,
we are informed, which are located at Dunkirk,
will soon be removed to Buffalo. Several hundred
mechanics have already been transferred. The
Erie Railway Company have a still more important
project in view, and one which, we believe, is to be
consummated at an early day. This is nothing less
than laying a third rail the entire length of their
track between New York and Buffalo. We are in-
formed that this immense undertaking has passed
beyond the point of consideration—the work having
been resolved on, and the iron contracted for.
The object, of course, is to secure for the Erie
Railway an unbroken narrow gauge route front
New York to Chicago; both by the Buffalo and
South Shore route and by the Canada and North
Shore route. The recoat issue by the Erie Com-
pany of ten million dollars of convertible bonds,
we believe, was to meet the expense involved in this
third rail enterprise. The next important job which
the company have resolved upon, we learn, is the
construction of a magnificent new passenger debt
in Buffalo, on the site of their present buildings, at
the corner of Exchange and Michigan-streets, where •
the company have long required better accommo-
dation for their rapidly increasing passenger traffic.
The building of the Niagara Falls branch, and the
third rail addition, forbid a longer delay in the
needed improvement. It is probable that the now
passenger depot will be begun very soon, to be
ready by the time the Niagara Falls branch is corn-
pleted.—Buffalo Conzniereiul Advertiser.
The Erie Railway now connects with Newburgh
by a branch road from Greycourt, but a new road
is to be built from Bamapo to a point adjacent,
which will shorten the distance from New York
city to Newburgh fully 13 miles. A new road is also
to be constructed from Newburgh to Kingston,
which will give the Erie Company important con-
nections with the middle and northern sections of
New York State.

A new railroad route between Chicago and the
Mississippi, via the Illinois Central and the Toledo,
Peoria and Warsaw Railroads, was formally opened
on Thursday, October 29, by an excursion through
train. This route is by the Illinois Central Rail•
road to Gilman, where, without change of cars, the
traveller goes on the recently finished Toledo, re"
oria and Warsaw Railroads to Keokuk, lowa. The
distance from Chicago to Keokuk by this route i 0
284 miles.

In the matter of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway Company, which came before Vice-Chan'
cellor Giffard last Monday afternoon, all parties
having consented to withdraw the various pending
suits, a decree was granted sanctioning the earl'
ing out of the proposals of the new directors for s
reorganisation of the company's affairs, and th°
receiver for the debenture trust in England was
duly authorised to take the necessary steps for the
immediate removal of the receiver at present in
control of the property in America.
Massachusetts has one mile of railway to ever/
six square miles of territory, Connecticut one t°
seven, Rhode Island one to eleven, New linor
shire one to fourteen, Vermont one to seventeen,
while Maine bas one to every sixty-two square wiles
of territory.
REVIVAL IN RAILROAD ENTERPRISES IN TgE
SOUTH.—The Lynchburgh Virgtnian has the fol-
lowing in regard to the proposed railroad from
Louisville, Kentucky, via Harrodsburgh,
—" The last reconnaisance made by Mr. Patton
would indicate that the route by Round Gap is at''
tracting the attention of the Kentucky Company
This route would include the valley of the Net
River and connect the Kentucky Road with 011 t
Virginia and Tennessee Road at or near Central
Depot, in Montgomery county. The practicabila
and utility of this route was very forcibly illy'
trated in a series of articles furnished to this paPe,,
last summer over the signatures of " New River'
" Virginia," &c. It would furnish almost an 31'„
line from Louisville via Lynchburgh to Norfolirci
avoiding the great detour via Cumberland Gap and
Bristol, and develope a rich and productive county/
now wholly without railroads. It would be tll
nearest route for Louisville to the sea that could b°
opened, and would make our Southside line rail-
roads the great highway of commerce between the
West and the East, and Norfolk the golden her°
through which it would be poured.
The Board of Directors of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company, at their last meeting in
Richmond, Va., resolved that the Chief Engine:.
be authorized at once to make surveys and °ll'
mates for connecting the Chesapeake and 013!1
Road with tide-water, and the York River ftejc;
road by horse-power ; also estimates and plans
new depots at Richmond.
The Governors of Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, 3
fit
Missouri, have called a convention to innet.ier
Prairie du Chien on November 10th, to consider
the subject of improving the Fox and Wisenlisna
Rivers and connecting the Mississippi River an
Michigan by a canal.
