The project of a central railway sta
tion and hotel in Belfast is making ra-
pid progress in the direction of practl-
cal solution. Its promoters, who are
not likely to lend their names to any
visionary or impractical scheme, have
lost no time in enlisting, IT not the &C.
tive support, at least the careful and
sympathetic interest and attention Of
those bodies most interested in the sug.
gested contradiction of the different
railway lines On October 15th,a depu-
tation, consisting Of Major j. ,Eustace

ranks of the Irish party, the Land Pur-
chase Commissioners have conveyed a
slice of the evicted tenants property at
Luggacurren to the planters" On
26th Sept. the sum of 100000 was ad-
yanced by Land Commissioners Lynch
to thirteen planters to enable them
to purchase the farms which they have
rrapbed on the Luggacurren estate.
Last March the application of the Lug
gacurren ''planters'' was refused by the
4 and Commission after due inquiry into
the circumstances of the applicants.
Adyancesshave now been sanctioned,
though there has beenano change in the
conditionsor prospects of these emer-
pency settlers to make them eligible or
proper objects to obtain the benefit of
the Lard Purchase Act. Of course it
is the evi citing landlords who will bene-,
at BY the grant. They will get the pur
chase money, in the first instance; and
then, when their ':emereercy' tools de-
fault in their annual instruments, as
/ they are certain to do. the landlords ex-
pect to buy.back the land on their own
terms,
