It is rumoured that the Banks of England and France are
about to make arrangements fur the reciprocal remittance of
railway deposits, so as to obviat e derangements in the currency.
On Friday a deputation of bankers waited on the Chancel-
lor cf the Exchequer to know whether he would take stock wi
in Exchequer-bills for the railway deposite. enc
Arrangements, we understand, have been made for the
amalgamation of the Brighton and Croydon lines.
A communication, amongst other rumours, has reached us
to the effect that Mr. Hudson is to join the Birmingham and ort
Boston, and that Mr. Gl3 n is to be the Chairman.

The Tring, Reading, and Reigate line proposes to form a
triangular route, and to establish a triple terminus, by adopt-
ing the Birmingham Railway for its northern, the Great and
South-Westerns for its western, and the Dover and Brighton
for its southern extremities.

We learn from the Railway Telegraph that at a meeting
of the Directors of the Eastern Counties Company, on Tues-
day, Mr. Bagshaw in the chair, a resolution of thanks was
passed to Mr. Bosanquet, the late Chairman, for the manner
in which he had presided over the Company's affairs for the
last ten years, requesting bite, at the same time, to retain his
free pass-ticket over the railway and its branches.
At a meeting of the Kendal and Windermere, on Wednes-
day_, it was agreed to lay down a double line of rails.
DIRECT LONDON AID M.ANCIIESTER LINES.—The amal-
gamation between the two companies (Rastrick's and Re-
mington's) has been finally concluded. Yesterday the two
engineers met the Directors at the:offices in Moorgate-street,
and gave the board the assurance that the survey of the
line from London to Manchester was completed, and ready
for Parliament.
GREAT WESTERN. The Directors have given notice
that they have entered into the agreement recently pub-
lished, fur the permanent possession of the Bristol and
Exeter Railway, subjected to a fixed rent-charge, for the
express purpose of promoting, with perfect fairness to that
Company and a due regard to the interest of all parties, the
very best direct line, on a continuous broad gauge, from the
south-western ports of Cornwall and Devonshire, through
Exeter, to the metropolis, thus affording comprehensive com-
munication in the district between Yeovil, Bridport, and
Exeter, recognised by Parliament in last session. The Di-
rectors will recollect, that at the forthcoming special meeting
the undertaking and extension of their own line from Hunger-
ford,
through the Pewsey Valley, to Westbury, with abranch
to Malvern, will be considered. By a change in the direc-
tion of the Wilts and Weymouth line, between Westbury
and Frome, the main western traffic, direct from London,
will reach Yeovil within a distance of 126 miles, of which
91 miles of railway have been either constructed, or already
sanctioned by Parliament. A new Company will be formed
for a line between Yeovil, Bridport, and Exeter, by an asso-
ciation of residents and landowners, with guarantee and
prospective increase of dividend. The surveys are said to
be in progress, together with the necessary applications for
the coming session.
