W's find in the Boston Daily Advertiser
a notice of “ a meeting held at Medlield, on
the 10th inst. of gentlemen interested in the l
prbject of a Railroad from Dedliain, through
Medtield, Medway, &c., to VVo011s0cl£et
Falls. A committee of three persons froin
each town on the route, was appointed to
obtain information and report at an adjourn.
ed meeting. An improvement which will
unite the population and inaniifacturiiig es-
tablishments of the flourisliiiig villages in
that direction more immediately with this
city, will be of great utility, as well to the
city as to them, and we shall be happy to
see the enterprise successful.”

RAILROAD FROM CLEVELAND T0 CINCIN-

be coninie.iiced—-as we infer from the fol-
lowing paragraph, from the same paper I--
“ At a Convention of Delegates, held at
Geneva, on the 16th day of November, 1835,
in pursuance of resolutions passed at Ca.
nandaigua, on the 9th day of November in-
stant, for the purpose of adopting inea_sures_
to procure a Clltl.l‘l.Cl‘ for the construction oi
a Railroad from Auburn, through Seneca
Falls, VVatcrloo, Geneva, Vienna, Manches-
ter and Caiiaiidaigua, to Rochester.”
Delegates were in attendance from Mun-
ro, Ontario, Seneca and Cayuga counties.
The Convention was organized by the call
of NA'l‘}IANII~)L VV. HOWELL, of Canandai.
gua, to the Chair, and the appointment of
SAMUEL CLARK, of Waterloo, and JAMES A.
GUERNSEY, of Pittsford, Secretaries.
Several resolutions were adopted, and a

committee of correspondence appoiiited for
the purpose of promoting the object ot the

reject on foot for the construction of a
Railroad from Cleveland, via Columbus, to
Cincinnati. The distance is about 250
miles, and it is calculated that the whole,
distance may he travelled in twelve hours’
instead of the time now occupied by stage, "
being from three to four days. The writer ,
says, “this enterprise is one of vast mag-
nitude for a new country, but it has been
undertaken by such men as have never
been known to leave a work, when mice
commenced, unfinished ; aiidifentei'pi'ise—
public spit-it——wealth and perseverance are
any guaranty, for the completion of such a
work, then may we congratulate ourselves
in having an abundant supply of each of
these commodities, and in the full prospect ’
of success.” The capital stock is about
four millions of dollars.

cumstances detailed in it we know no-
thing.-—[ED. R. R. .l.]

0;‘? Since the above was in type, we
have received the Cleveland Daily Herald,
which contains the proceedings of a meet-
ing at that place in relation to the work, to
which We shall refer in our next.

The Louisville Journal says :—

“ On the 5th inst., a bill for the extension
pf the New-Orleans and Nashville Railroad
into Tennessee, passed the Senate of that
State, by a vote of 19 to '2, in the form in
which it was originally reported. It had
previously passed to a third reading in the
House of Representatives, with an amend-
ment, providing, that the Road should be
taxed as fast as finished."

It is surprising that the members of the
Legislature of Tennessee should attempt to
clog, or throw obstacles in the way of‘, such

a work as the New-Orleans and Nashville
Railroadfg

   

The Auburn Journal says :-

“It Will be gratifying to our readers to
learn that the work upon the Auburn and
Syracuse ‘Railroad is already commenced
near Eldridge; and that sections 3 and 4
-‘\:..l:.‘Ol.lt three miles east of this village) will
be commencedto-day: and that it will be
crowded throughout the whole line as fast
as the season will permit.”

Convention.

The friends old‘ this work may look forward
to the SllC(:e$~fS of the work under considora.
tioii with the iitiiiost. eoiilideiice. It is one
oftliose works which are as sure of success
as that the wheels of time will continue to
roll for a few years longer. It will also
be continued east from Syracuse. From
Rochester one is now progressing rapidly
towards the “ City of the Lakes ;” and it
will not, at the fartliest, exceed five years
before there will be acontinuous road from
Albany ,to Buffalo ; and we congratulate
those who have been active in the business,
that the "prospect of early success is now
so fair.

The Baltimore Chronicle says:—— _

“At a very numerous meeting of the citi.
zeiis of Baltimore, called upon 71. requisition
to that elfcct by the Mayor of the city, on
Thursday, the 19th November, on motion,

Gen. SAMUEL SMITH, Mayor of the city,
was called to the Chair, and BENJ. J. Co.
HEN and JoiiN KE'r'ri.mv1«:I..L, appointed Se.
critaries.

“ The chairman, in a few brief remarks,
stated the object of the meeting, and caused
to he read the proceedings of the meeting
held at Brownsville, in Pennsylvania,urging
a convention in that town on the 25th, with
a view to the early completion ofa Railroad
from Cumberland to the Ohio river, and to
which his attention had been called by the
Committee of Correspondence, in a letter
communicating the proceedings at Browns-
*yille, published in the Chronicle of Monday

ast.”

The meeting was addressed by Mr. C. F.
Mayer, who closed by introducing some
spirited resolutions, which were uiiani.
iiiously adopted.- And a delegation of tliir-
ty, including the chairinaii, was appointed
to attend a meeting at Brownsville, _Pa., on
Wednesday, the 25th day of November, to
be formed of_ delegates from the towns,
cities, counties, districts and states, that
may find it convenient to be represented
therein, and that feel an interest in the con-
struction of said Railroad, and of such oth-
er works of national character as may ad-
vance the welfare of Maryland and her sis.
ter States--for the purpose of considering
and adopting such measures as shall seem,

. 

most likely to insure the early completion
of said Road, and the construction of such
other works.

Another meeting was held, of the citizens
of Baltimore county, at Ellicott’s Mills, on
the same day, for the purpose of approving
of the measure of a convention, and to ap-
point delegates.

Thus it will be seen that. the friends of
internal improvement in Pennsylvania and
Maryland are moving in the great cause——-
and we most cordially bid them God speed
——-believing, as we do, that. the resources
of the |\Vest, which are being so rapidly
(leveloped,will furnish business for all the
works of communication that the people
will make.

Ohio is also stiring, as will be seen ‘by
the annexed paragraph from the Aslitabula
Sentinel ofthe 14th inst.

“ RAILROAD VCo.vvEN'r1oN.——Iii pursuaiice
to previous notice gi en to those friendly to
the construction of .' ailroad from some
eligible point on Lake Erie, within the limits
of the counties of Geauga and Ashtabula, to
the Ohio river in Columbiaiia co. to asseiri-
blc in convention at Warren on the 6th day
of November, A. D. 1835, a meeting eon-
venetl at 11 o’clock A. M. ofsaid day.”

The object of this convention appears to
have been, to adopt such measures as will
insure the commencement of operations on
what was chartered in January, 1832, under
the title of "the Erie and Ohio Railroad, the
char-tei‘ Ofjwiliicli, it appears, has become
void, inasmuch as the stock necessary to
organize, 2000 shares, has not been sub-
scribed.

Measures are to be taken to obtain its re.
vival, by aii extension of the period for ob-
taining the subscriptions of stock.

I-Iunson AND} DEL.-nv.uiii Ran. Ro.m.~—On
Monday last, Mr. Jarvis, and the other Engineers,
who have been for some two or three weeks past
exploring the route of the Hudson and Delaware
Rail Road, eoiiiinenced surveying in our neighbor-
hood to ascertain the most advaiitugcous route to
be pursued from the river. The rise at this village
can easily be surmounted at several places, either
at the north or south, without the aid of a station-
ary engine. "We learn that. it is the intention of
the company to have their surveys in this region
completed so as to be able to let out contracts as
early as practicable in the spring.-—[Newbnrgli
Cv'uzette.]

'I‘lic number of travellers on the Boston &. Lowell
railroad, is 500 daily. The distance is twenty-live
miles, and the time usually occupied in passing
from one place to the other is generally but little
more than an hour. One day last week the train
ran through in fifty-live minutes including one stop.
The time saved to each posseiiger by the railroad
over the previous methods ot' coiivcymicc, is fliur
hours, amounting on “the ten hour systeni” to two
hundred days.—[Jour. of ‘Com.]

RAILROAD -Dis.is'rzn.—-—-Yesterday afternoon,
while the two trains of cars belonging to the Balti-
more and Susqueliunna. Railroad were on their re-
turn to this city, one from Tiinoniuiiiaiid the other
from Owing’s Mills, owing, as is supposed, to the
innttcntion of the drivers, the two trains Mme in
contact. at the conjunctioii of the two I: : clies,
about six miles from the city. The COHSL; uetice
was, a most violent concussion, causing bot. 3"l.r£lll"lS
