Considerable attention has been called this week
to a proposition made by Mr. JOHN GRANTHAM,
C.E., for constructing a high level railway along our
dock quays, in connexion with our internal railways
and canals, by which the streets of the town will be
relieved of a large amount of their traffic, and the
process of loading and unloading the shipping in
our docks will be greatly facilitated. Mr. GRAN-
THAM'S plan provides that such railway should be
fourteen feet above the level of the present quays ;
and should run from end to end of the dock estate,
under the sheds built, or to be built, upon the east
side. This railway would at once accommodate the
coal trade. Sidings would be formed to communi-
cate with the Lancashire and Yorkshire, East Lan-
cashire, and other lines ; and by inclined planes it
might be made to communicate readily with the
leading streets of the town. To the timber trade
such a plan would, if carried out, be most advan-
tageous. In fact, it would almost settle the much-
mooted question as to the relative advantages of the
north and south ends of the town as the site of this
most important traffic. One very material question
is that of cost. Mr. GRANTHAM'S plan, we under-
stand, is to cost upwards of £300,000. Whether
or not the Dock Committee has power to raise such
a sum we know not. We should imagine, however,
that a small charge upon the merchandise conveyed
along the line would pay a handsome per centage
upon the outlay.

Late advices from Mexico state that on the 7th of Oct.
the proposals for the right of way across the isthmus of
Tehuantepec were opened by the commissioners. The de-
