GREENWICH RAILWAY EXTENSION LINE TO
CROYDON.—WhiIst the Croydon Directors are taking
pins to obstruct the traffic over the new line of the
Greenwich Railway built expressly for their accom-
modation,. Mr. Walter has put forward an excellent
line to Croydon, by which the Croydon line, and its
inerne plane at New Cross, can he avoided altogether,
and the passengers conveyed at a cheap rate over the
Greenwich line through Deptford, thence branching
to the right, cross the Ravensbouine near the bridge,
and continuing by the Lewisham valley, fimin a junc-
tion with the Blighton and South Erst2rti and Dover
line, at their station at Croydon. [Our opinion hoW-
ever is. that neither this project, nor that to the Brick-
layerslAi ms, will be listened to in Parliament.—" Nous

Market under the cognomen of " Jim Crow," was
discovered lying in the mud between two Dutch eel
boats at Billingsgate. The deceased, when seen last
Tuesday, was in his usual avocation of visiting the
various boats that arrive at the market stairs, and an
altercation took place between him and two others
concerning some half-pence, when, it is supposed that
the deceased's companions, who, it is stated, have not
been seen since, knocked the deceased overboard, and
he was drowned. The body, on being taken out of the
River Thames, was in a dreadful condiiion, and the
face seemed very much bruised, but whether from the
effects of being wedged between the boats on the rising
of the t'Ade„ or personal violence previous to death, re-
mains for a Jury to ascertain.
