RAILWAY ASSESSMENT.—The Lancashire and York-
shire Company was rated in November last for a portion
of the main line and the branch passing through Horbury.
The rateable value of the main line was fixed at £l3OO
per mile, and the branch at £2OO per mile. The com-
pany appealed recently against the rate to the West Riding
sessions at Wakefield • the case occupied nearly three
dare, and the court allowed the appeal with costs, and
ordered the rating of the main line to be reduced to £750
per mile, and that of the branch to £5O per mile.—The
result of the appeal of the Shrewsbury and Chester am-
pany, after a lengthened inquiry, has been the reduction
of the total lengthened inquiry,
Ruabon from £977 to £631, of
£125 per mile ; and in Gwersvilt from £464 to £203, of
a reduction to £125 per mile.—The estimated parlia-
mentary cost of the East Lancashire Company's proposed
branches to Clifton and Salford is £130,000, and of those
to Southport and Skelmersdale £84,000.
TERRIBLE.—The Cleveland Herald tells of the loss of
a steamer by the carelessness of the captain, who stood
upon the pilot-house, the wheel making twenty-two revo-
lutions in a minute, and a rock appearing ahead, in trepi-

" back her." The engineer obeyed both bells, and the
boat parted in the centre 1
