A project for an underground railway at Naples, made by Mr Lamont, English engineer resident there, has been submitted to the municipality. The projected lines will not only connect tho east and west ends with the centre of the city, but present the novelty of reaching the villages on the heights by lifts carrying tho passengers to stations above. These lifts, worked by steam, are ingeniously contrived to preclude accidents. The lines will have an extent of fourteen miles, and will bo worked by compressed air.
