OPENING OF THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY LOOP FROM LINCOLN TO PETER-
BOROUGH.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was the day appointed for the
commencement of passenger traffic on the loop line of the
Great Northern Railway Company. The first train left the
swine at Lincoln withina few minuses of the time appointed
—7.26 a.m. The scenery oa the line from Lincoln to Boston,
though fiat, is of • very interesting character. Near to Lin-
coln are the ruins of the Monks' Abbey. Five miles further
down, the remains of Baling's Abbey can be seen. Nine
miles from Lincoln the line panes close to the site of Bard-
nay Abbey, where one of the Saxon kings is buried. Various
other ruins of monasteries and religions brume are In the
neighbourhood, and 10 miles further on the rose to Boston, is
Tattenhall Castle. For the next part, the line between
Lincoln and Boston was on the banks of the Witham,
leaving the river oecasionally to avoid the bends in the
stream. The train reached Boston at rine o'clock, where a
large concourse of persona were waiting its arrival.
From Beaten, Wealth Spalding to Peterborough, the line is
entirely straight. About four miles from Peterborough the
line forms a junction with the Syeton and Peterbormigh
Railway, and in a meadow near Peterborough, with the
London and North W. stern and Eastern Counties lines. The
train reached Peterborough at half-part ten, having per-
formed the journey, 624 miles, in something lam than three
hours. Neer Kirkstead the first train fir Lincoln was reseed,
which would arrive there at 9.25, a.m. Five trains will
arrive at and depart from Lincoln daily. At Boston they
form a connexion with trains to and from Healthy the Beet Lin-
colnshire line; at Walton junction with trains to Leicester,
Derby, ete ; and at Peterborough to the Bast and West of
England, with the choice of two routes to London by the
Eastern Counties and North Western lines, both of which
run trains in conjunction with the Great Northern. The
advantages presented by this new line to the inhabitanis of
the district through which it passes are many. By means
of it they will obtain a reedy interchange of cotton,
coal, and cutlery for their cattle and coin, working on
that great principle of trade, reciprocity. The line, by
means of its local accommodation, will raise the price of
laud, and, from analogy of what by the some method has
been mooomplished in Norlolk, will greatly benefit the
landowner and farmer. Hitherto, nearly all the trade of
Lincoln has gone to the north by water, until it got to
Wakefield, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire line, aid via
Boston, Spalding, and Lyr:, by era to London. Now it
will all be accelerated direct by railway. The dealers
in fit cattle will find this greatly to their advantage. The
logs of time and produce by the old method was very great.
There is a loss equiv lent to flubs on every sheep driven to
London, and of 281 he on every bullock, or from Ms. to 305.,
besides the lase of time, the journey taking eight days th-
awed anise, as it will is future. Then eight days on an
average are equivalent to three or four market days, and
daring this period the cloaca for the market foe the farmer
might be much affected. Moreover, during the year at ham
donble the journeys may be made, double the number of
animals may be conveyed, and the dealers will be able le
regulate the demand and supply of the markets. Still essMar
advantages will arise from not takioff the animals to market
wire, seeing that they become deteriorated by the braider/
they receive per railway ; and hence there is no doubt that,
as is Norfolk abattoin will be established in connexion
with the great stations in Lincolnshire, where the beasts will
be slain, and their carouses brought to town. The e.nvey-
ma of large droves by rail, instead of road, will prevent the
cattle from taking what is called the " murrain." The
railway facilities opened up will also enahle the far'er to
improve his land by availing himself of the esteems of soils,
and bringing chemical manures to bear upon it. In cense.
queue of the want at peeper sesmaniesticm, the Winn km

Mon compelled to sell his corn at a lass instead of being en-
abled to take @Aventine of a rise in prices, and transport it to
advantageous markets. Theo at of tranamittiug a quartrrof
wheat, by the &! Gum Roston 20' , Wit 8a ; by
rail it will be 4s 61., iceboat a quarter of tbe time. Again,
the supply of crab f r the entire district depends on water
communication, which is impeded by drought in summer,
a-,d by tenet in winter, when cnils have been k.n.arn to le
41s. and 50s. a ton ; but by semi of the rail they will be
supplied at from 10s. to 2N,, and even at London for 208.
The Waffle in corn may he eapected to be large, when it is
known that 200,000 quarten of corn an annually exported
for a distance of seven miles around the railway between
Lincoln and Began. An opinion appears to pneail, that
now the loop line Is nearly completed, it is all the Great
Northern Railway need do; and that, with two trunk rout a
into London, the one by the London and Nor:h Western
and the other by the Eastern Counties, a third, of their own,
Isom Peterborough into Laudon is rendered ann. emery.
Nevertheless, the works upon this, the main line, are
proceeding vigorously; and upwards of one million *tit-
ling has alreatiy been expanded an them. When cont.
pieta, which will not, however, be until the dawn of 18.50, it
(urniab the shortest and cheapest route from the north.
The present " loop has " has cost about one million.
The visitors to Peterborough lart at 4.15, and reached Liccola
at 7.15 p.m. Tbia day ( Wednesday) there is to a general
rejoicing at Spalding in banner of .hr opening of the lure ;
and on the 25th, at Boston, there will be a very grand cele-
bration of the event by a public dinner and a ball, wnich the
chairmen and directors of the company will attend.
