Marino Raroaiss.—The traffic receipts of rail-
ways in the United Kingdom amounted, for the week ending
March 1, on 10,1091 miles to 466.2901. , and for the correwood-
ing week of last year on 9,871 g miles to 483,9201., showing an

week of 1861 on 6,445 miles to 370,4851., showing
an increase of 1561 miles and a decrease of 16,4251.
The decrease on the Great Northern Railway amounted
to 1,8031. ; on the Great Southern and Western, to 372/. ;
on the Lancashire and Yorkshire to 4,4611. ; on the London
and North-Western to 4,2031. ; on the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Liocolnshire to 1,658/. ; on the Midland to 2,734 L ;
on the North-Eastern to 2,925/. ; and on the tiimth-
Fasten to 1,159/.—totel, 19,3201. But from this must be
deducted 975/., the Increase on the Caledonian ; ISO:. on the
Eastern Counties ; 8771. on the Great Western; 651. on the
Londoo, Brighton, sad South Coons ; 5181. on the Lon-
don and South-Western ; and 2801. on the North British

81 miles and a decreased 1,205/. The falling off in the traffic
of the past week as compared with the corresponding period
of 1861 is principally in the goods and mineral traffieof the
great Sees, and indicates the depression of trade in the
manufacturing district". The traffic receipts of the past
week show an increase of 3,4311., as compared with those of
the preceding week ending the 22nd February.
