RAILROAD

The Surveyor has completed his survey of the intended rail road from Newcastle to Maitland, which is to be proceeded upon without delay. The line will commence near to the Queen's Wharf, and run by the Beach westward, nearly in the same direction as the present high road - the Reef between the Breakwater and Wharf is to be filled up and made part of the road.
