RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
I 1% TUNBRIDGE WELLS LiNE.—On Saturday General Pasley,
90 tiw i tor-general, accompanied by Messrs. Harding and
Bro},--w, Directors, and Mr. Peter Barlow, the resident en-
-2-h gincer, latide an oxperimental trip over this line, which runs
-- from the Tunbridge station the South-Eastern Railway to
- the pleasant summer rcsiti i ,3 of Tunbridge Wells, from
whence we understand ii• :r.,+,,1c:1 to carry on the line to
- Hastings. General Paste us: pre-, himself satisfied with
the stability of the work's;" and condition of the line. The
length of the branch to the proposed permanent station is
five miles, but it is at present open to the temporary sta-
tion at Jenkwood's spring, situated about a quarter of a mile
from the town. The permanent station will be in the centre
of the town, and is approached by a tunnel, 800 yards long,
under a portion of the town. The works to the temporary
station are heavy, there being half a million yards of earth-
- work or cuttings chiefly in rock. There is also a tunnel of
a quarter of a mile near Lomer-hill Park, and a brick via-
-_ duct, 270 yards long and 40 feet high. The line was com-
menced in July, 1844, as a single line, exactly twelve
months' before the Act was obtained, and in April, 1845,
it was determined to make it a double line. The cost
to Jenkwood's spring, including land, has been 100,000/., and
he extension into Tunbridge Wells will be 80,000/. more.
Ti-_—_ The line passes near Lomer-hill Park, the residence or man-
- sion of James Alexander, Esq., and near Colebroke Park, the
residence of Benjamin Smith, Esq. A most remarkable
feature connected with this line is the fact that it will be
opened within a few weeks after the obtainment of the Act,
and that the cuttings intersect the headings of the ancient
_ iron works of this country.
The understanding between the Grand Junction and the
Chester and Birkenhead lines is considered a wise proceeding,
and the talk is that the arrangement is mutually advantage-
- ous. The Chester and Birkenhead Company are to work
their own line between their own termini, and the , Grand
Junction is, on paying a fixed toll, to have the privilege of
running their London, Crewe, and other trains on it, thus
securing to themselves a direct approach to Woodside—a
mode of communication of which they purpose abundantly to
avail themselves. The Cheshire Junction is to be worked on
a similar plan. The talk is that as the Holyhead line will.
have to adopt arrangements similar to those agreed to by the
13% Grand Junction, and that as all the new lines approaching
Chester will claim and no doubt 'obtain, the same privilege,
the Chester and Birkenhead Railway will be, by and by, in a
condition of unwonted prosperity.— Liverpool Chronicle.
Several owners and occupiers of land at Windermere and
Grassmere have determined to withhold their consent to
any line passing through the lake district.
A compromise is said to have been agreed upon detweeu
the promoters of the Deion and Cornwall, the Darthmouth,
Exeter, and Torbay, and Bideford and Tavistock lines.
Meetings have just been held of the Directors of the Black.
burn, Chorley, and Liverpool, and Blackburn, Darwen and
Bolton lines, relative, it is rumoured, to an amalgamation
of the two.
, Naw LINE FROM WINDSOR TO LONDON.—A new line
has just been projected to proceed from Windsor to Staines,
with a branch from Datchet to join the Great Western Rail-
- way at Slough. The atmospheric principle is to be adopted.
3% It is to proceed from a terminus near Windsor- bridge, cross-
- ing a portion of the Thames to an island in the centre of the
stream, and thence over the remaining portion of the river to
Datchet and Staines.
CONTINENTAL LINES.
FAmroox TO HAZEBRUCK..—The O'Neill Company has
given orders to have this line staked out immediately, and
it is expected that the works will be completed by the end of

1846.
NEw COMPANIES.—In addition to the companies already
in existence for the Paris to Lyons line—namely, Laffitte,
Ganneron, Lappinsonniere, Calon, and the South-East, there
are that of Union, formerly united with the Orleans Com-
pany, but since then with the house of Rothschild, the
Messageries, that got up by the. old Directors of the Rosamel
Company for the North ; the old Company Deccan, for the
North ; and the Vertant. The plan of the latter is to get a
number of persons to subscribe, and then, when it appears
certain that the capital will be made up,•to call a meeting
of the subscribers. and
.nut of them choose the Board of
Directors.. From the Cecil to St. Quentin, line there are five
companies in the field, viz., Cysacus, Colbert, and Carette, all
old, and.Amous, and Antoine,, new. The Arnous Company
has made up its capital; of the latter but little is known, as
its prospectus is not vet out. For the Lyons to Avignon
line there are Talabot, Lecointe, and the Meridionale, all old;
and that at the head of which is General Friant, the King's
aide-de-camp and an Anglo-Fretich Company. For the Tours
to Nantes line there are
,six companies, viz., Mackenzie,
Carette, Drouillard, O'Neill, and Lefebre, all old, and the com-
pany Reigecourt just constituted, formerly under the presi-
dentship of Count de Sparre, since . deceased. For the Great
Western of France (from Paris to Rennes) there are three
companies in the field; that formed by the junction of the
two Versailles companies; another formed by the Duke de la
Force, and a third, of which but little is known, called the
Company Antoine, the same as that mentioned for the Cecil
and St. Quentin line. For Paris to Caen Railway there are
two, that of Lafitte, Blount, and Co. ; and the other, Dela-
marre, both some time formed.
ROUEN To HAVRE.—The report of the Prefect of the
Department of the Lower Seine confirms all that has been
said upon the satisfactory progress of the works on this
line, and states confidently that it will be opened in May
next.
PARTS AND LYONS.—The starting point of this line has
been decided upon ; it will run from the Rue Contrescarpe,
near the Bastille, quitting Paris by Bercy and Charenton,
and following the Valley of Yeres, will reach as far as Melun,
4N from whence it will take the direction of Nlontereau. This
2% plan is in accordance with the recommendation of.M. Jullien,
engineer in chief.
BOULOGNE AND ANIENS.—The important question relative
to the spot for the principal station of this line at Boulogne
has been decided. Two plans have been proposed, one by M.
Love, engineer, and the other by M. Bazaine. That by the
latter has been preferred. The station is to be fixed upon an
unoccupied spot near Capecure, called Le Champ de Ma-
noeuvres. This spot has many recommendations for a station,
and affords an easy access to the most important part of the
town and quay.
The Publicateur of Arles states that the works 'upon the
railway at that place are being carried on 'with the greatest
rapidity. Between Durance and Sarascon all the rails have
been laid down, and between the latr place awl Arles half
the rails are now laid. At t-.1'.1 viaduct of Arles, one of the
most difficult 57,14 Wipartant works, fifteen piers have been
.1441,1 WOO krft in a very advanced state, and three of the
apchea ire completed. There will be in all thirty-one arches.
Within two months 24,000 metres of rails have been placed
botlyeen Arlea and the Coup Perdu, the limit of Jatres.

PUTT HOUSES BURNT.. -Soon after midnight, on
Saturdky Morning last, a fire broke out in a bakehouse at
AttOretonliaMpsteaci (a small town situate about 12 miles from
Exeter), and as nearly all the houses were thatched, the
flames spread with great rapidity, and were not subdued
until the greater part of Cross-street was consumed, the num-

a working state, so OA the, eAly, smiiiable means of stopping
the progT4i 4 iillyi tire was by pulling down some houses, until
attedtive fire-engines arrived from Exeter.
STOCK. ExcuANGE.-,-The Committee of the Stock
Exchange, having het-Mot their consideration the proposal
nt?,,le hat stuns oftlie leading brokers tbr an earlier doming
q the Markets, have agreed that an alteration shall be made
in the hours of business on and after the Ist of next month.
• The markets will then open at eleven o'clock in the fore-
ii4ol And close at three o'clock in the afternoon. This is the
seeend alteration that has been made during the last few
months iq tho ho tly& of dealing, consequent upon the pres Sure
