or 246,526!., by the Avon, from the Pacific and West

The total imports of the week are near 400,0001.
The ofpeelsoesehie large. The total amount of
the precious metals exported direct from London
during the week ending Thursday last we learn
from official sources was as follows :—Gold bars : To
Boulogne, 74 ounces. Gold coin : To Oporto, 8,9411.;
to the Mauritius, 260 ounces, and 6,0001. Silver
bars: To Belgium, 50,000 ounces; to Rotterdam,
20,000 ounces; to Hamburg, 47,000 ounces ; to Bou-
logne, 295 ounces. Silver coin : To the Mauritius, '1
4,250 ounces ; to Boulogne, 1,000 ounces ; to Belgium,
176,000 ounces; to Dunkirk, 43,000 ounces ; to
Hamburg, 50,000 ounces ; to Rotterdam, 199,000.
This gives a total of 334 ounces, and 14,9111. in gold,
and 590,545 ounces of silver, the aggregate value
being about 161,0007.
Besides the exports from the port of London, the
Medway for the West Indies took out 30,0001.; the
Montrose Peninsular and Oriental steamer, 10,000/.
for Spain and Portugal; and the Hellespont screw
steamer to the Cape of Good Hope, 6001.
In addition to our usual analysts in advance of the
English traffic returns for the last week, we now
transcribe a statement of the returns from the whole
of the United Kingdom, furnished by Heraputh's
Journal. On 6,139 miles, 306,0731. was received,
being at the rate of 501. per mile per week. In the
corresponding week of last year the receipts were
251,6481. on 5,790 miles, or only 431. 10s. per mile
per week. There is thus au increase of 54,4251. or
21.58 per cent. in the gross receipts, an increase of
319 miles, or 6.03 per cent. in the mileage, and an
increase of 61, 10s. us the amount received per mile
per week. As already noticed, a portion of this very
large increase is due to the Whitsun holidays. The
aggregate receipts fur the twenty-four WCCKS of the
present year are estimated at 5,937,7181. against
5,328,8671. at the same time last year, showing an
increase of 605,8311.

Herapath complains of the result which has in
several instances attended an application made to the
various metropolitan companies for information as to
what is the amount of the present excursion traffic,
as distinguished from the ordinary traffic. The com-
panies which at once cheerfully responded are the
London and North-Western, the Great Western, and
the Eastern Counties; whilst the Great Northern
declined, and the Brighton and South-Western com-
panies, it appears, have not even answered the appli-
cation. " Why not let the shareholders," asks licra-
path, "know as much as the directors, especially in
respect to the nature of the traffic carried?"
The Railway Record gives an account of an
ezpe-
riment made on the South-Eastern line on Saturday
last, for the purpose of testing the merit!! of tWu
hivotuoilve engines, one of iliem ueing constructed
according to Mr. Cranipton's patent. The result is
an opinion that the patent engine is greatly superior
in point of steadiness.
