LINCOLNSHIRE LINES.

The following is an enumeration of the various lines, thirty-
six in number, affecting Lincolnshire, applications for which
are intended to be made next session.

Those marked A, were before Parliament last year; B, are
new prqiects, advertised previously; C, were unknown until
notice of application.
Group I.—A I.—The London and York, from London to
York with a loop from Peterborough, through Spalding, Bos-
ton, Lincoln, and Gainsborough. joining the greed trunk line
at Bawtry, with a branch line from Stamford to Spalding.
A 2.—The Direct Northern. The course of this line is
altered so as to use the Grantham ; it crosses the Nottingham
and Newark Line, midway between Newark and Lincoln. A
branch from this line at Clanborough runs south through
Gainsborough to Lincoln.

A 3. The Cambridge and Lincoln line, from Cambridge
through Peterborough to Lincoln, with branches from Stam-
ford to Spalding, and from Sleaford to Boston.
C 4. Eastern Counties. Extension from Cambridge to
York.

C 5. Eastern Counties. Extension from Lincoln to York.
86. Eastern Counties. Extension from March to Lincoln
(known last year as the Ely and Lincoln line).
Group 2.—8 7. The Lincoln and Hull line on the Cliff
Ridge, through the villages by Brigg, taking the level of the
Ancholme Navigation to Barton, thence across the Humber
to Hessle.

B 8. The Hull and Lincoln line on the Valley of the Till
to Kirton, thence to Barton. (A branch from kirton to ore
of the York lines would accomplish all that this line is in-
tended to do).
B 9. Great Grimsby and Sheffield Extension from Market
Rasen to Lincoln, completing the communication between
Lincoln and Hull, and Lincoln and Grimsby.
B 10. The Lincoln, Louth, Grimsby, and; Midlands Junc-
tion, a direct line (over or under the Wolds), from Lincoln
to Great Grimsby (known as Carrit's line.)
Group 3.—A 11. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction
from Sheffield, through Worksop and Retford to Lincoln,
with a branch to Gainsborough, theie to join the Grimsby
and Sheffield.

B 12. The Manchester and Lincoln Union, from Chester-
field to Worksop, with diverging lines from Retford to
Gainsborough and Lincoln. Intended to furnish another
mode of communication to Manchester, by the Buxton and
Matlock line. This line is supported by the Midlands.
B 13. The Direct Sheffield, East Retford, and Lincoln
Junction.

B 14. The Lincoln, Wainfleet, and Boston Harbour Rail-
way. This line will be required to complete the communi-
cation between the Atlantic and the German oceans, through
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln; the three competing
lines from Sheffield to Lincoln will have to offer terms for
this line. At present, we believe, the Midlands and Man-
chester Union Companies are disposed is offer favourable
terms.

Group 4.—8. 14. The Northampton and Lincoln..
B 16. The Hull, Lincoln, and Northampton.
B 17. The Lincoln and Grantham. If the London and
York line should be carried, this will be the nearest mode of
communication between Lincoln and London.
C 18. The Lincoln and Oakham.

Group 5.—8 19. The Isle of Axholme, Gainsborough, and
Goole (from Goole to Gainsborough, through the Isle).
C 20. The Wakefield, Pontefract, and Grimsby Junction
(from Pontefract to Brigg).
B 21. The Cambridge and Lincoln Extension (known last
year as the Lincoln, Leeds, and York ; from Lincoln to York
direct, with a branch to the North Midland to Leeds.

Wentworth-street, Whitechapel, on the body of John
Rus-
sell, aged 54, a comb-maker. The deceased was a native of
Glasgow, and had formerly been in affluent circumstances,
but from unforeseen difficulties he had of late become greatly
reduced, and for some time past had obtained a precarious
subsistence by hawking combs about the streets. On Thurs-
day night he was very depressed, and went to bed about
eleven o'clock, and on Friday, not coming down stairs, his
landlady went to call him, and found him in bed in a dying
state. Mr. Hart, a surgeon, was sent for, who, upon his
arrival, pronounced him to be labouring under some narcotic
poison. Antidotes were administered without effect, as he
expired at eleven o'clock the same night. After his death
two phials containing a few drops of laudanum, and labelled
poison, was discovered secreted between the sacking and the
bed. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."
On Monday last the town-crier of Stamford made
the following proclamation throughout the town :—" Whereas
last night some rogue or rogues took a quantity of malt from
the premises of the Half-moon Inn ; this is to give notice,
that if the said rogue or rogues will make personal applica-
tion to Mr. Dalton, the landlord, he will give a suitable
quantity of hops for the brewing. Stamford Mercury.
