We note that a Select Committee of the House of Commons have passed a Bill authorizing the East and West India Dock Company to construct a new deep-water dock at Tilbury, in immediate proximity to the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway, with which the new dock will be con nected by means of sidings. The proposed dock will have a depth of water of 42ft at the ordinary high-water spring tide, while at low water the the depth will not be less than 26ft. The dock will be constructed in the form which has been recently adopted by the Mersey Dock Board at Liverpool, involving the obtaining of the largest amount of lineal quay space
