_BANDON AND BANTRY.—A deputation from the English
accompanied by their Secretary, William Black,
an interview with the Directors of the Cork and
Ptsgrandohite-tatad:ailway, and the Provisional Committee of the
Bantry Extension line on Monday, when arrangements of a
most satisfactory nature were arrived at, and the necessary
documents prepared for coming before Parliament with
encouraging prospects of success. The deputation will in-
spect the line previous to their return to London, with a view
of carrying out other objects contemplated of the most im-
portant character in connexion with the project.—Cork Re-
porter.
CONNAUGHT.—It is proposed to open a communication
from Ballinasloe to Ballina, meeting there a line to Sligo,
with a branch to Tuam and Galway, completing a communi-
cation between Galway and all the northern lines, and afford-
ing to Mayo ample fac►lities for the transit of produce,
Mayo Constitution.
KILLARNEY TO TRALEE.—The projected line of railway
from Killarney to Tralee in conjunction with the Waterford
and Valentia trunk road, has been staked within the last
and present week, the main line, having been previously
marked and staked as far as Cahirciveen. The branch line
between Killarney and Tralee, as projected, will pass in a
north-western direction from the main road, until it arrive
to the right of Ballyhar Ci►apel, within about a hundred
wards of the old straight road which forms the shortest pas-
sage between the two towns. Here it diverges a little to the
north-east, when it joins the road again, and running parrallel
with it for half a mile, curves off gently to the north-east,
and eventually comes round the eastern base 01 the Tralee
mountains.—Tralee Chronicle.

THE GREAT Mom.Ett.—Mr. Brown, one of the en-
gineers connected with this project, has been in town for
some days during the p-esent week, having completed the
survey of and laid down the line from Listowel to Tralee.
In a past number of our paper, we stated that the levels be-
tween the former town and Listowel were only equalled by
the geological facilities presented. Mr. Brown's report of
the line from Listowel to Tralee is equally favourable. In-
deed, it fully bears out the statement made to us not lone.

gutting of any considerable extent, through a part of Bal-
lyrow-hill. The soil, however, is one easily worked. This
line, it is very judiciously proposed, shall terminate within
a few hundred, yards of the basin of our canel. The depu-

veying the ground for a line of railway, through the centre
of the country, commencing at Clones, in the county Mo-

DUNDEE AND ARBROATH.

On Monday a special meeting of the Proprietors of this
Company was held in the Town Hall at Dundee, Mr. Wil-
liam Thorns, Dean of Guild, •ne of the Directors, in the
chalr, to receive a requisition for the formation of a branch
from Broughly Ferry to Forfar. There was a numerous
attendance.

The report of the Directors stated that after considering
the subject fully, and having a report by a deputation from
their number before them, they had come t) the determina-
tion that it was inexpedient for the Dundee and Arbroath
to undertake the proposed extension.
Mr. ARCHIBALD litsms, M.P., said he had expected that
some of the requisitionists would have have come fonvard,
and have stated the grounds on which they subscribed to the
requisition, and moved the approval of the report, which was
seconded by Mr. D. Thtxmii.
Mr. GEORGE KINLOCH, thought tllB Directors had come
to a wise decision in rejecting it. But lie would have liked
to know what led the Directors to that conclusion. At the
same time he thought it very likely that such a line would
be take i up in these days of railway speculation, but still he
considered that the Dundee and Arbroath Company should
stick to the good concern which they already had by the
hand, and endeavour to increase their revenue by lowering
the fares and otherwise promoting traffic on their line.
Lord KINNAIRD differed in opinion from the gentlemen
who had already spoken. He thought that a direct railway
