AMIENS TO BOULOGNE.—Tho municipal council of the
latter town :have approved by a great majority of the ter-
minus of this line being placed at Capecure on the exercise
ground. The Chamber of Commerce has :Aso approved of
that locality. It is presumable, therefore, that the plans
presented by the company will not meet with any serious
opposition.
NEVERS TO CLERMONT.—A company has jast been formed
at Paris to send in proposals for this railway, as well as for
that from Moulins to Roanne, the Marquis de Raigeanot,
peer of France, being president. The preliminary surveys
are being urged on actively.
CHATILLON AND TROYES. —Both these towns are to have
branch lines on the Lyons Railroad. The necessary surveys
are completed,

PARIS To LYONS.—Three new companies have lately been
formed for this line—one, that of the maitres de poste; the
second, the Compagnie de Commerce, which, however, does
not give the names.of its board of Directors; and the third,
that of the receivers-general. Of these three companies, the
first would have no difficulty in making up its capital, had it
entered the lists earlier; the second requires a capital of 505
millions, which it will be almost an impossibility to find at
this late hour; the third, the receivers-general, are so strong
in local interest, that they will be sure to obtain their funds,
if the Government permits them to stand for the line, which
is not yet certain.

PARIS TO STRASBURG.—A new company has opened a
subscription for this line, under the presidentship of General
Anthouard. The name is an unlucky one, as the Anthouard
company for the Orleans and Bordeaux line was, it may be
remembered, rejected by Government.
PARIS TO STRASBURG.--It may not be uninteresting just
at the moment The day for the adjudication of this line is
announced, to state what are the names of the Companies
now formed for the line. They are nine in number, viz.
Hainguerlot, Ganneron, Aymard (better known in France by
the name of the banker Gentilet Fol), Bechet, Caumont-

Laforce, Doudeauville, De Hell, Arno.ux and Anthouard.
The three last have not, it is thought, made up their capital,
nor will they be able to do so. A fusion is talked of between
the other six.

NORTHERN OF FRANCE.—The double woy is completed as
far as Pontoise, and a single one to Clermont, a distance of 40
English miles. An experimental trip was made this week as
far as Creil, by M. Oofroy de Breville, head engineer of ponts
et chaussh, who directed the works on the first section of the
Northern line ; 31. Petiet, another engineer, and M. J. Pereire.
