Yesterday, Mr. Lyons. from the select committee res
ported bill for the construction of Rail Road om the
cry 9 Richmnnd To the Ohio, 10 be- locale TN the South
SIDE OF lanes River. NJ intermediate poinls are nd>
Gated IN the bill They are hereafter 10 be designated
alter survey by practical engineers. The bill p,ovj,
that The comnany shall not be organized until three mil
lions o dollars subscribed, of which one million
shall be pad In aud the other Two amply secured and
authorizes The Board Of Public works 10 make subscrip
Tons 10 It's stock not exceeding any time t,o-ffls
OF the amount paid ia. This scheme owes lis orr.

gentleman from Nv 'rk, (Alr Ciarke,) now in This
CITY, who expresses the conf lent opinon that even Il
'he oale sa lake meme Of The stock, (and is ppba.
bic that The provision q the bill authaziro ia sul
'st5e 7E tw1i1Is will be stricken out there viii be-
no ieul5 in procuring the stock and in organizing the
Company at once. Il strikes me that il would be much
wiser, IN every point Of view, to commence the Raj
Road al the present euunaron Of the Canal and there
by form conneSion between HE James and Ohm seve-
raj years Than ii be done the space FROM
Lynchbnre TO the Ohio river Is 10 remain unimp,oved
until another great line can be constructed from K cl,
moud To | yncbborr while ana i certainly ao,n, .nf
iieeti hr existing purposes. The fate Of the bill Is un
certain however, no matter what shape ii NAV
and confess hat am not very sangune that the
stock will be taken even If il should pass.
II Is probable that consideration Of the re
lecng The South western Road Bill will be moved IN
lew days. Should it succeed the bill will probably be |
amended provide tia, the terminus Of
