The North-Western Railroad.

The vexed question of the "right of way" was settled, so far as the action of the House of Delegates is concerned, by the passage by that body, on Monday last, of the bill granting a charter to the "North-Western Railroad Company" to construct a railroad from Three Forks, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to Parkersburg. The bill imposes certain important conditions the effect of which has been thus stated by the Whig:

Those conditions require that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad shall complete a single track, with the gradations, bridges, tunneling, and masonry necessary for a double track to Wheeling before the North-Western Railroad Company shall be authorized to use their road. The bill also provides that the North-Western Railroad should not make a double track until the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad should complete a double track to Wheeling. It is also provided that the Western terminus of the North-Western Railroad shall be at some point on the Ohio river, not above Parkersburg.
