RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN RAILWAYS.--COMPETING LINES.—A
meeting on this subject was held in the town of Mo-
naghan on Wednesay. The Northern Whig says—
"l he object of the meeting was to receive and con-
eider a report of a deputation who lately visited this
town, with reference to an extension of the Ulster
Railway line to Monaghan and Clones, and who
afterwards visited Newry, to consult about a railway
from that town, to join the proposed Dundalk and
Enniskillen line. The deputation made their report,
which we publish. Their visit to Belfast is repre-
sented to have been satisfactory ; but circumstances,
stated by them, necessarily rendered their visit to
Newry unavailing. The report having been read, no
farther attention seems to have been paid to it. A
deputation from the parties concerned in getting a
line from Dundalk to Enniskillen, attended; and the
discussion was applied to this—whether the people of
Monaghan would give their approval and support to
the Dundalk arid Enniskillen project. The friends of
that plan appear to have formed by much the more
numerous portion of those who attended the meeting;
hut, though a motion was proposed, in favour of the
plan, and an amendment against it, and though both
were put from the chair, and the ' ayes' taken on
both, the ' noes' were not called for, on either side ;
and the meeting broke up, after as the report has it,
doing nothing."
RAILWAY FROM EDINBURGH TO CARLISLE.—There
is no doubt that a railway from the metropolis of
Scotland to Carlisle, passing near to the flourishing
manufacturing towns of Galashiels and Hawick, will
ere long be formed. We understand that his race
the Duke of Buccleuch and Sir James Graham are
taking a deep interest in this great leading line,
which cannot fail to be of incalculable advantage to
the abovementioned places.—Kelso Chronicle.
NEWPORT, NANTYGLO, AND BLAENAFON RAILWAY.
—On Wednesday last, a deputation from the provi-
sional committee, attended by the solicitor of Lord
Abergavenny, and directors of the British Iron and
Blaenafon Company, had an interview with Lord
Dalhousie and General Pasley, at the office of the
Board of Trade, and were, we hear, most favourably
received. Mr. Blewitt, M.P., the chairman of the
committee, at the conclusion of the interview, pre-
sented to Lord Dalhousie a paper he had written, and
had caused to be printed, explanatory of the district,
and of all circumstances connected with the proposed
railway, for which Lord Dalhousie expressed his
thanks to Mr. Blewett, and promised that it should
have his attentive perusal. Lord Dalhousie said that
the interference of the Board of Trade in matters of
this nature, was regulated solely by " public con-
siderations ;" and that it was no part of his duty to
enter into questions of "private interest."—.llon-

LONDONDEFRY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY.
Lalatters have proceeded so favourably with the pro-
jectors of this undertaking that their most sanguine
expectations have been more than realised, as far as
they can be so during the earlier stages of their
negotiations. The whole amount of shares contem-
plated by the Committee as sufficient have been al-
ready sold, and applications have been made for
double that number. It is stated on authority that
the whole number of shares could have been disposed
of in Manchester alone. We trust that, now that the
chief difficulty has been overcome, no obstruction will
be thrown in the way of the Committee by the pro-
prietors of the land through which the railway will
pals, but that the Act, for which all necessary mea-
sures are being taken, will be obtained without diffi-
culty or delay, so that the works may proceed as early
as possible.—Derry Standard.
WATERFORD AND LIMERICK R A ILWA Y.—On
Wednesday last a meeting of the provisional commit-
tee of this undertaking was held in Waterford, and it
has never been our lot to witness one of so influential
a character. It would appear that the whole landed
and commercial interests of the south-east of Ireland
have taken up the project with enthusiasm. Amongst
the persons present, representing the different districts,
were the Lords Besborough, Glengall, Huntingdon,
Carew, and Duncannon ; Sir 11. Winston Baron,
M.P., and Mr. Wyse, M.P.; Sir B. Morris, Wall;
Messrs. Meagher, Millward, Strangman, J., J., and
Robert Malcomson, Newport, Lalor (Cregg), Sar •
gint, Riall, Fennell, Shaw, Davis, Denny, Sweetman,
Jacob, Tandy, Mortimer, Walpole, E. Power,
White, Power of Mount Richard, &c. Lords lies-
borough and Glengall, and the Messrs. Strangman
and Malcolmson, were deputed to confer with Mr.
Vignolles, the engineer of the Company, respecting
the various preliminaries necessary to be adopted for
immediately carrying out the enterprise—which being
done, and reported to the Mayor of Waterford, who
filled the chair, the Committee took the matter into
consideration, and unanimously decided that Mr.
Vignolles should proceed to complete the survey, and
that he and Messrs. Mortimer and Tandy should have
all the parliamentary steps finished by the 30th of
November, according to the standing orders of the
Houses of Parliament, which they reported to be per-
fectly within their power. The general business of
the Company was then proceeded with, and the pro-
spectus, which was unanimously approved of, ordered
to be issued forthwith. All the above noblemen and
gentlemen are shareholders, some to a considerable
extent. About 5,000 shares are already taken by
residents along the line only, and deposits paid----con-
sequently this main truck line, which will confer
such benefits on the south of Ireland, is now certain
of being completed with the utmost dispatch, and we
sincerely wish it success in every shape. The Corn-
