DINNER TO MR. GEORGE STEPHENSON.—On the oc-
casion of Mr. Stephenson's recent visit to Belgium for
the purpose of inspecting the line of the Sambre and
Meuse Railway, a grand dinner was given at Brussels, on
the 4th of Aprirrast. M. Masai, the Director-General
of the Belgian Railways, presided.
The Parliamentary Session, so far as the merits of
competing railways are concerned, may be said nly to
have begun yesterday. We have now got within three
months of the end of the session, and not a single rail-
way Bill hr:s as yet gone into Commtlee. At this period
last year nearly all the Bills had already made much pro-

comma

PENRITH AND RICHMOND.—LeveIs have been taken
for a line from Orton, near Penrith, by way of Raven-
stone•dale Kirkby Stephen, Bowes, Barnard Castle,
Greta-bridge, Newsham, Dalton, Ravensworth. and Gil-
ling, to join the proposed line from Cowton to Richmond.
The line passes through a rich mineral and agricultural
country, and the gradients are said to be good.
BLACKBURN AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—The works
on this line are now* proceeding rapidly. Upwards of
100,000 cubic yards of earth have been removed, and in

several places active preparations are now being made for
laying down portions of the permanent way, The piers of
the viaduct over the river Darwen, at Hoghton, which
have formed one of the most difficult portions of the un-
dertaking, are now up to the level of the water, and seve-
ral of the bridges on the Houghton contract are com-
menced.

THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.—A special
meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held
at Derby on Saturday last to consider the terms for the
lease of the Birmingham and Gloucester, and Bristol and
Gloucester liailtvays.—Mr. George Hudson, chairman of
the board of directors, stated the heads of agreement en-
tered into with the above companies, which was that the
amalgamated lines of the Birmingham and Gloucester and
Bristol and Gloucester should be leased in perpetuity to
the Midland Company at an annual rent of £6 per cent.
on the share capital of £1,800,000; the Midland Com-
pany to take upon themselves the liabilities of the other
party to the extent of £450,000; the stock of the other
company to become the property of the Midlands; these
arrangements to commence on the Ist of July next, and
any difference which might arise to be referred to the ar-
bitration of the Board of Trade.—These terms received
the sanction of the meeting, which then adjourned.

THE KENDAL AND WINDERMERE RAILWAY.—The
Kendal and Windermere proposed line leaves the Lancas-
ter and Carlisle Railway at Oxenholme, and curving
round by Staveley, terminates near Bowness :—its length
is 10 miles 23 chains, and it is to be worked by the Lan-
caster and Carlisle Railway Company. This project is
not of an expensive character, and may expect to com-
mand a remunerative traffic, and will afford a very de-
sirable outlet to the Lakes from the manufacturing dis-
tricts; nor are we aware of any objection, except one
which has been strongly urged, viz. : that in the event of
the railway being made, the privacy of the locality will be
invaded, and the comforts of the residents in the neigh-
bourhood will be materially diminished. We are pre-
cluded from taking into consideration the private interests
of individuals ; but, where a general local feeling, made
up of the feelings of individuals, who are personally,
though privately, interested, exists, it is right to notice it.
We must therefore state that an argument which goes to
deprive the artisan of the offered means of occasionally
changing his narrow abode, his crowded streets, his wea-
risome task and unwholesome toil, for the fresh air, and
the healthful holiday which sends him sack to his work
refreshed and invigorated,—simply that individuals who
obj ct on the grounds above stated may retain to them.
selves the exclusive enjoyment of scenes which should be
open alike to all, provided the enjoyment of them shall
not involve the infringement of private rights, appears to
us to be an argument wholly untenable; and we are of
opinion that there are no public grounds which ought to
be decisive against the Kendal and Windermere proposed
railway receiving the sanction of parliament.—Report or
the Board of Trade on Proposed Railways in Lancashire. ,
