RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GRAND JUNCTION, GREAT WESTERN, AND
SOUTH WESTERN.

On Friday a meeting was held at Bicester, to take into
consideration the merits of this line.

—..„...
Mr. J. PAXTON presided, and in opening the proceedings
adverted to the advantages Bicester would derive from
having a line right through it. He believed there were
no fewer than seven lines preparing to rim through the
district.
Mr. MALEY, solicitor, and local agent to the Company,
proposed the first resolution, to the effect, that a line through
Bicester, connecting it with the Great Wnstern at Slough,
and with the Oxford and Rugby at Heyford, would be a
great advantage, as it would enable them to reach London
and Birmingham direct, and to obtain communication with
the coal fields.
Mr. W. PAXTON seconded the resolution. There were no
engineering difficulties, and it would not interfere with
ornamental property.
Mr. PowELL described, the line. It would be 64 miles,
commencing at the Farnborough station of the South West-
ern, crossing the Great Western between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminating on the Oxford and Rugby line at
Lower Heyford, on the route to Birmingham. In its course
it would accommodate Bracknell, Sunning• hill, Bagshot,
Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe; Princes
Risborough, Thome, Bicester, and several other places at
present without a railway communication, and form the most
direct route from London to Banbury, Warwick, and Bir-
• mingham, and by the Grand Junction to Manchester, Liver-
pool, Lancaster, and Carlisle; and by the Caledonian Railway
to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; and from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead and Holyhead ; thus opening the most direct
communication with Dublin—also by the branch to Oxford,
in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, it
would form the most direct route to South Wales,' Water-
ford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and
to all the central portions of Wales, thus forming
the shortest route to Wales and Ireland. It
would save an average distance of fourteen
miles to each of the before-mentioned places as compared
with the route now traversed by the Great Western. There
were no engineering difficulties, and the land was the least
valuable of any in the counties, avoiding parks and orna-
mental property. To the saving about fourteen miles in the
transits to London, was to be added that of connecting with
the South Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, af-
fording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adjacent
places, without the necessity of passing through the metro-
polis. In compliance with the suggestions of landowners,
the Committee had decided on forming branches from the
Thome station to Oxford and Aylesbury. Sir J. Macneill
and Mr. Thompson were the engineers. Shareholders in the
Grand Junction, Great Western, and South Western, would
have a preference in allotment of shares.
Messrs. Douglas, Mills, Chapman, and Harris, addressed
the meeting. An amendment was proposed to the effect
that further time be given for consideration of the various
other schemes, but the original resolution in favour of the
proposed line was carried.

The following is an enumeration of the schemes, twenty-
five in number, projected up to the present period, for sup-
plying the west of England with railways :—The West
Cornwall, with a capital of 500,0001.; the Cornwall Coast
Line, capital 1,500,000/. ; the North Devon and its branches,
capital 1,750,0001. ; the Launceston and Tavistock, capital
100,000/., ; the Tavistock and Plymouth Line. These two
are extensions of the South Devon ; the Cornwall and
Devon Central in connexion with the Yeovil, capital
3,000,000/. ; the Bideford and Tavistock (Hepkin's), in
connexion with the Central ; the Direct Plymouth and
Bideford, capital 800,000/. ; the Great Western and Falmouth
Junction, capital 1,500,0004 ; the South Devon, now con-
structing, capital 900,0004 ; the Direct Exeter ar.d Ply-
mouth, via Ashburton • the Great Western Extension
Atmospheric, to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, capital 950,000/. ;
the Dartmouth and Exeter Line, via Newton, in conjunction '
with the South Devon, capital 300,0001. ; the Dartmouth,
Torbay, and Exeter Direct, in connexion with the Central,
capital 600,0001.; the Exeter and Crediton, now in progress;
the Exeter, Topsham, and Exmouth, capital 120,000.
(Head's); the Exeter and Exmouth, capital 130,0001.
( Daw's) ; the Direct Western, from London to the Land's
End, capital 3,000,000/. ; the Taw Vale Extension, capital
700,000/. • the Ashburton, Newton, and South Junction, ca-
pital 133,0004 ; the Bridport and Exeter, or South Coast
Junction, capital 900,000/. ; the Great West of England, or
South Western and Exeter Extension, capital 1,600,000/. ;
the Exeter, Dorchester, and Weymouth, capital 1450,0304 ;
the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, capital 1,300,000/. ; the
Direct London and Exeter, capital 3,000,0001.
MANX LINES.—The Isle of Man, in common with every
other isle, is to have a railway added to its patriarchal and
picturesque possessions Two companies, the Isle of Man
and the Great Manx' court the popular suffrage. The former
is supported by the Earl of Uxbridge, and the latter by Dr.
Eowring. Surveys are in progres, and application has been
made to the Legislature of the island to give power of ex-
tension by means of an act of Tynwald
The report that the dividend of the Newcastle and Dar-
lington will be increased to 10 per cent. this half-year, and
that new 251. shares will be created for each 25/. share of
the present stock, has received confirmation. The Lancaster
Guardian asserts that the high tides have done considerably
less damage to the Furness Railway at Salthouse than has
been reported.
At the last meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council re-
solutions were passed in favour of the Welsh Midland Railway.
The contracts on the Berks and Hants line are let, the line
is staked out, and the works will be commenced immediately.
A contract has been entered into by Brassy, Stephenson,
and Ma"kenzie, the contractors, for the construction of the
Trent Valley at 611,619/., at the rate of 12,0001. per mile, to
be completed by the spring of 1847.
DARTMOUTH, 'TORBAY, AND EXETER.—Arrangements have
been made within the last few days for co-operation between
this Company and the Taw Vale Extension, the Cornwall
and Devon Central, the Exeter, Dorchester, and Yeovil, and
the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Companies • so that there
will be one continuous line of railway with the same gauge,
and without change of carriage, from the London station of
the South-Western Railway, at Hungerford-bridge, to Brix-
ham, Dartmouth, &c. By the Taw Vale Extension a direct
railway will be opened between the harbours of Torquay,
Paignton, Brixham and Dartmouth, on the English Channel,
and those of Barnstaple, Bideford, and Ilfracombe, on the
Bristol Channel, and the long-contemplated scheme of
connecting the two channels with a direct line to London
and Ealmouth will be effected. It is scarcely surprising that
this line should be supported by the local parties, when it
is considered of how much importance it is to Dartmouth to
have railway accommodation and in the shortest line pos-
sible. Dartmouth is one of the finest and safest harbours
on our south-west coast. Its situation and natural advan-
tages porticularly fit it for a packet station. In case of its
being chosen for such purpose, it would then become, from
a small town, a large and flourishing seaport. The commis-
sioners for inquiring into harbours expressly state that it
would be, had it good communication with the interior, the
best port for landing and shipping the West India mails.
They say that its waters are perfectly safe and tranquil in
the most tempestuous weather, so that the mails could at all
times be put on board or landed, and coals be taken in. It is
not our object to establish a comparison between Falmo ith
and Dartmouth ; but it is sufficient to state that Dartmouth
has merits of its own which make good its claim to a large
traffic. The Dartmouth and Exeter line gives the necessary
connexion with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Exeter,
and so with Bristol, Gloucester, Birmingham, Liverpool,
Manchester, Leeds, and the north ; while the Yeovil lines,
or other direct lines, will give the main thing—a short com-
munication with the metropolis. Brixham is another im-
portant point which is accommodated by this line. Brix-
ham is the port of Torbay anchorage, and has shipping be-
longing to it of 20,000 tons, besides fiishing craft. Brixham
employs 1,500 seamen, and the merchants are very desirous
of having railway accommodation. Torquay, an admired
watering-place, is now a steam-boat station to the Channel
Isles, and there are also the towns and stations of Paiguton,
Newton, Chndleigh, and Moretonhampstead.—Exeter paver.
CENTRAL STATION AT CARLISLE.—The formal adhesion,
says the Carlisle Journal, of the Newcastle and Carlisle
Directors to the plan for forming a united station for all the
railways which now have their termini in Carlisle, was re-
ceived this week, and since then considerable progress has
been made in the purchase of property in Court-square,
where it is proposed the station shall be. The Maryport and
Carlisle Railway Directors still stand aloof; but we trust
they will soon see the propriety of joining the other three
companies in one general plan which will be ornamental to
the town and useful to the public. They ought certainly, and
that without any loss of time, to put an end to their danger-
ous mode of backing out, the carriages from the present
station. The Caledonian Railway, it is expected, will come
into Carlisle nearly in a line between the two bridges across
the Caldow, and so forward to the general station. In this
way they will save much of the embankment across the
Willow Holm, which would have been necessary upon the
' original plan. We understand that the railway companies
have been met in a most liberal spirit by the owners of pro-
perty required for carrying out their plans.
NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.—A dispute has for soma time
existed between the Directors of this line and the owners of
certain collieries and stone quarries with respect to the rates
of carriage. The owners of coal and stone complain that the
charges for carriage are not only high of themselves, but
higher in comparison than those of any other line in the
kingdom ; and that their complaint is not an unreasonable
one may be inferred from the fact that two of the collieries—
namely, those of the Blcnkinsopp and Haltwhistle Com-
panies—have actually ceased front working for upwards of

six months, in consequence of the high charges. Committees
have been appointed, and meeting after meeting has been
held to consider the subject ; but still with the same result—
an obstinate, and what we must call a suicidal adherence to
high rates, on the part of the Directors, who, although they
live in the nineteeoth century, have not yet found out that
two and two do not always moke four. The Blenkins'pp
Company has for many years paid them, on the average,
between 8,000/. and 9,0001. per annum ; the precise
amount paid by the Haltwhistle Company we do not
know, but it must have been considerable. The last
meeting was held at Newcastle on Tuesday last, when
blind obstinacy again prevailed by a majority of eight
to five, and thus the two sources of income above stated have
been effectually destroyed. Surely it is time for the share-
holders to interfere in this matter, and no longer suffer their
best interests to be set aside for the mere sake of gratifying
the pig-headed propensities of men unfit for the emergencies
of the time they live in and the position they occupy.—
