    Baroda Raiiavat.—It Has Been At Length R...

    Baroda Raiiavat . —It has been at length resolved , says the Bombay Standard , that the Surat section of the Daroda Railway shall start direct from the Presidency , and not from Callian , as was at one time intended . It will proceed along the Flats , in a line nearly parallel with the Main Drain , and reaching MahJm Wood , about 100 yards or so to the eastward of the present railway station , will cross the estuary obliquely to near the northern end of the Jamsetjee Bund . It will then be continued along through Salsette towards the Bassein crossing , a very formidable work , the difficulty of which is now to be braved . 1

    The Gbasd Trxtsk . Railway or Canada . —The portion of the railroad between Stratford and London has been opened for commerce . The Welland Railway , connecting lakes Erie and Ontario , has also been completed . There is at present scaffolding up for thirteen tubes of the Victoria Bridge at Montreal , all of which will be completed this season—fourteen would have been Jaid , but one was unfortunately lost . It has been determined to complete the structure in the fall of 1859 . The branch road from , the main line to co-ttnect with the bridge some four or five miles on the other side of Longueul , is rapidly advancing .

    Indian Railway Schemes . —If the railway projects now in course of execution and under consideration for thus Presidency are fully carried , out , we shall have no fewer than 2051 miles of iron way open for use in Southern India . The officiating consulting- engineer lately submitted a return to Government showing the distances of the several lines . The South-West line from Madras to Calicut , under construction , is 400 miles long , and its two branches from Vaniembady to Bangalore and Coimbatore to the foot of the Neilgberries

    90 and 25 miles respectively . North-West line from Arconurn ( 42 £ miles from Madras ) via Trittany , Cuddapah , and Bellary to the Toodgabudra , under construe-: tion , 286 miles . Great Southern of India , sanctioned , from Nagore ma Tanjore and Trichinopoly to Salem 177 miles , and from Tuticor . in via Madura to > Trichinopoly 173 miles . The Great . Southern , Maliratta Railway ( proposed ) from Poona via Sattara , Kolapoor , Belgaum and Hurry bur to Bellary about 500 miles , and from the navigable * head of the Sedashagur river via Hoobly to Hyderabad 4 . 00 miles .- —Madras Spectator , Sept . 24 .

    Railway Extension in the Highlands . —A movement is on foot among influential landowners north of Inverness to have the railway extended to Dingwall , and still further north . The project for connecting Eastern Ross with the port of Invergordou , by means of a short line from Tain , has been revived , and an attempt will be made this winter to raise the necessary capital for complying with the requirements of the Board of Trade . —Inverness Courier .

    Dundee and Arbroath Railway . —Aji agreement has been entered into between tbe directors of the Dundee and Arbroath and the Scottish North-Eastern Railways—conditional on the approval of the two companies—for a perpetual lease of the Dundee . and Arbroath Railway to the Scottish North-Eastern Company , the terms being the payment to the ordinary shareholders of a guaranteed dividend of 6 per cent , per annum , which s to rise along with and to the same amount as that of the Scottish-Midland . —Dundee Advertiser .

    Home, Colonial, & Foreign Produce Market...

    HOME , COLONIAL , & FOREIGN PRODUCE MARKETS . REVIEW OF THE WEEK . Mincing Lane , Friday Evening . Business in moat of the leading products continues dull , the dealings being confined almost exclusively to the homo trade . Contrary winds having prevented arrivals , the markets this week have been scantily supjiliad , and this has added to the prevailing inactivity . With few exceptions prices have still an inclination in the buyer ' a favour , but , are free from any material depression , and at tho close , to-day , there were some indications of a favourable reaction in several departments .

The choicest qualities of new malt are in some request , and firm at 70 s . ; choice old malt is less inquired for , and best ware cannot be quoted over 72 s . Arrivals by Eastern Conntie 3 . Rail were 6095 qrs . against 6218 qrs . delivered . Beans continue dull of sale at lato rates , Choice boiling qualities of pead " are taken rather more readilv , but other . descriptions remain without improvement . " Large supplies of oats have caused a decline of fully 6 d . per qr ., and buyers have not been induced to come in freely by the reduction . The provincial markets have generally a downward tendency . On the Continent the trade is also heavy , and by the latest advices from New York lower prices arc recorded .
