The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 193,1291. this week, against 183,3311. in tho
same week of last year, the increase is shown to
be 14,3781., or 71 per cent. The number of miles
open was in Bat, 3,860, and in Imao, 3,760!, being
an increase of 1051 miles, or 21 per cent. The ag-
gregate average return per milo per week was m
1831, al/. 4s. lid., and in 1850, 48f. In.:. 3d., so that
the difference remains in favour of the present year
to the extent of 21. Bs. 3d. per mile. Thu receipts
are, as a matter of course, rapidly falling oft from
their late high range, but it will be seen with satis-
faction that a comparison with the same period
of last year is in nearly every instance m favour of
the present season. the aggregate traffic of tho
London and North-Western fur the whole year ex-
ceeds that of 1830 by no less than 208.9951., the
total receipts being 1,041,280/., against 832,283 i. to
the same period of lust year. Referring to the chief
instance of a falling off in the traffic, we find that
the total decrease on the Midland this year is only
8,351/., the amount received being .101,8:48/., against
410,112/., so that there does not appear any very
sufficient reason for the dead set at the shares of
this line which was made some months ago, and
from which the market has as yet only partially ral-
lied. Every week, too, is now bridging the amounts
closer together. Tho London and South Western
receipts are assisted this year by the movement
arising out of the arrival of Kossuth at Southamp-
ton, many persons besides his numerous friends and
welcomers having gone down to assist in the demon-
strations in his favour. The traffic of other districts
does not appear to have been disturbed by any other
occurrence of moment, but it may be noticed that
the Brighton receipts contrast has favourably than
usual, owing to last year's return embracing tho
Brighton autumn races, a meeting which came off
some weeks earlier this season.

In the market fur foreign exchanges this afternoon
the tendency was rather downward, but there was
scarcely any change in quotations, except for Paris
and Amsterdam, both of which were lower. The
rates negotiated were as follows :
