th 't which cannot be
doubted, that the North London Junction Railway Company
and the Eastern Counties Railway have adopted measures
which will advance their mutual interests. It has been re-
solved by the contracting parties that a branch line shall be
made from some point on the Eastern Counties Railway in
the parish of Bow, to the North London line at Islington ;
thus the Eastern Counties obtain a western terminus at Pad-
dington, and the North London Junction a powerful ally,
and ,as we have good reason to believe, a valuable accession
of capital. It: is now therefore certain that a continuous and
unbroken line will be formed from the terminus of the Great
Western at Paddington to the Eastern Counties—a link
which. in point of fact, connects the East and West of England.
Mr. HUDSON AND THE GAUGES.—The Broad and
Narrow Gauge Commission examined Mr. Hudson on Satur -
day. Mr. Hudson is a strenuous advocate of the narrow
gauge. on the plea of economy, and he affirms that it pos-
sesses all the capabilities, as regards safety and speed, of the
broad gauge. The main points of his evidence were to the
following effect:—" We have been enabled to do every-
thing on the narrow gauge which the Great Western has ac-
complished on the broad. Economy was the great induce-
ment for adopting the narrow gauge. It would be impolitic
to enlarge the gauge, as they would gain nothing with.
re-
gard to speed or power by it, as they have already suffielene
power on the narrow gauge lines. The narrow gat.ige lines
were more convenient for traffic. A truck weighing f
seven to nine tons could easily be moved by one hu.csien;
