TUNBRIDGE WELLS, BRIGHTON, AND HASTINGS
Juscriem—This is a most excellently conceived plan. The
great thing with junction lines now is to embrace a Nvidu
area, and achieve the object at the least expense poasibls•
To do this there must be good surveying, good engineering,
and good judgment, as to which way the railway is to throw
out hs arms, so as, in fact, to embrace the whole district.
We write at the moment. from recollection, both of the pros-
pectus and the locality, but of this we are sure--that through
such a country two Siamese lines, if we may use the phrase, .
the Brighton and Tunbridge Wells 22 mileS,' and the Hast- ,
ings and Tunbridge Wells 26 miles—must succeed and pay.:
As have said before, this comes of good surveying anti
good engineering.—(From the London lercantileJournal, of
October 7, 1845.)
THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS, BRIGHTON, AND nAST-
neas JUNCTION RAILWAY.—This is the title of a new ptojeet
for snaking a direct railway front Tunbridge Wells to lifigh-
ton on the one hand, and to HaAiugs en thii ether, Oita
giving to the inhabitants of the Litter town, in addition to,
the rapid means of exchanging courtesies with its fashionable
rivals, the great advantage of the most direct line of coin -
mutt:cation with the metropolis by a jtn:ction with the pro-
posed direct line from Louth nto Tunbridge Wells. Of the
many Lw e schemes at present before the public, this
to be peculiarly worthy of favourable consideration, inasmuch
as it is not only in accordance with the direct principle, hut ac
the Same tine that it adopts this most rational principle of
great public highways, carries it out conaistently with sup -
plying, throughout the entire district traversed by the pro-
jected lines, accommodation to one of the richest and 'nest
populous aoitions of the country. The line from Tunbridge
Wells to Hastingi will be about twenty-six miles in length,
and in its course will touch the towns of Frain, Wa.dhurst,
lannberhurst, Etchingham, - Hurst Green, Robertsbridge,
Whatlingten, and Battle, its proposed terminus 'Ring at the
western extremily of Hastings. It is also proposed, we
understand, to extend the advantages of this line to the Mot-
bitants of Winchelsea and Rye, by a branch from a point tear
Battle. By 'a glance at a map it cannot fail to be Pe rceiNact
that, by formation of this line, at a point taking up the -
course of the direct line about to be made from London to
Tunbridge Wells, there will be completed a continuous rail-
way to nesting:, which, when its proposed harbors and
docks are constructed, must become the most ceevenicut
packet station in the Channel, on the male to Paris
Dieppe and Rouen. This Company's Bright, n line will, ire
observe, take a direct course, passing Mayfield, the; ',
ticktiel:l, Little llorsted, to Lewes, where it will unite with
the lire fr in that town to Brighton—its length being about
twenty-two miles. That the whole project of the company
is a good one there can be no crestion.—Radway Pakr.
LONDON AND DUBLIN APPROXIMATION RAILWAY.—Tim
prospectus of this Company will be found in our advertising
columns of this day, and we can scarcely- do our railroad
readers a greater service than to point out the principal
features which distinguish this line from others which daily
appear in the public journals. The importance of a direjt
line of communication from London to Holyhead, has lon, .
occupied the public attention ; the benefits that would 1)7:
derived from such a ready mode of communication it is
almost needless to dwell 'upon, and the undertaking front
this circumstance alone has excited a -vet') general interest
throughout the country. The difficulties of o,e„„mio, the
natural obstacles of a mountainous country, such as
r re-
sented by the northern portion of the Principality,
hitherto appeared of no ordinary character, and have been -
deemed by many well-informed and practical persons aimos:
insuperable. The achievements of science, however, tidel
by the industry of man, have rendered this bold and enter-
prising project not only feasible, but comparatively easy to b 3
accomplished ; and we rejoice to find that the schema
for attaining this very desirable object is supported by
one of the most influential committees we have ever
seen appended to a prospectus. Mr. Rastrick is the engineer,
a gentleman of undoubted talent and established reputation,
and we have the greatest confidence in his selection of thi
line, and the ability with which it will be carried out. It is
to be observed that this is wholly independent of any othce
line, and as it is designed for public convenience, it is entitled
to public support. The saving of the distance 'between the
two capitals of England and Ireland will be between sixty
and seventy miles, and, in point of time, at least of two
miles. The delays upon the route will be less frequent Clout -
upon the existing lines, which, from their crowded state,
often occasion interruptions to travellers from necessary
stoppages.: Accidents, in all likelihood, will be fewer front
the same ,cause, and there is little doubt that all the pas-
senger traffic to and from Ireland will be secured to the Com-
pany. There must also be a very large rortion of mei -
chandise and stock constantly passing along the line. his,
in addition to the former, must prove a source of gnat prof t
to the shareholders. The facilities afford to the inerztant
and trader, in the transit of goods of every description, will
secure to this Company an immense revenue from their car-
riage alone.

THE IRON TRADE.—DUDLEY, SATURDAY.--The
last of the quarterly meetings of ironmasters of this district
was held in Dudley to-day, when the prices determined to.=
at Birmingham on Thursday were fully confirmed. Some'of
the masters were inclined to make a further advance, but the
more prudent resolved to abide. by the present rate of prices.
It. appeared to be a general opinion that if a further advance
took place the miners and ironmen would require a co: re.
spondirg advance of wages, and, taking all matters into c,al.-
sideration, that such a ptoceeding would be decidedly in-
jurious to the home trade dependent upon the iron menula.c..
ture. The folloWing may be quoted as the prices now fixed:
Bars, 101.; sheets, l 11. 10.5., hoops 101. 10s., at the wo:ks,
being 40s. higher than those established at the last quar-
ter day, and 20s. higher than those fixed at Wolvcrhuiap..
ton a fortnight ago.
SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.—Mr. Hartwey, vt+o Ku

.Mr.
g Douglas. The fate of this last traveller was very tracal,
for on his return home by way of Sandwich
there fell into a pit dug lot catching wild bulls, in iv: ich
there happened to be one, when the infuriated animal gored
him to death.
