LONDON AND NOZTH WESTERN RanyrAr.
In the report just issued it is said, for the past
half-year the receipts from pmengers, parcele, matte, &c.,
hafts bean 910,2631. ; income, 49,7981. ; from merchandise,
ha., 221,8024 ; decrease. 60,3291. ; working expense,
669,3631.; increase, 63,6931. There is an increase in the
passenger traffic, which may be attributed in part to the in-
flame of the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition ; on the
other hand, owing to the state of trade in the manu
districts of Lanosehir• and South Staffordshire, wltah=
districts this company is so closely connected, the inerehan-
dim traffic shows a demise, as compared with the corre-
sponding period of 1866. The loss irking from this canes
was enhanced by the rockier competition originated and car-
ried on by the Manchester, Sheffield, and Linoolnshirs,
end the Great Northern Computes for the Mae between
London, Manchester, and Liverpool, at rates and under cir-
cumstances which must have subjected those companies to
meal lees. In addition to the extra mileage in the passenger
t in conveying toe excursion and other traffic to '
=la
the Manchester Exhibition, the working expense'
have been affected by the necessity of running special trains In
order to retain the traffic attacked, on the lines of this coin-
pany. Of the increase shown under the head of mainte-
I name of way and stations, a large proportion hoe been in- I
I cert.; for extra line signals and enlargement of sidings, dc., I
which, though charged against revenue, under the Amid of I
maintenance, are, ia fact, additional works. The bowed In-
mess et expense, however,th under the head of locomotive
power. seising partly from extra mileage ran, but very cm-
siderably also from the circumstance of the Lancaster and
Carlisle Compsay, on the termination of the locomotive em-
bed to work that railway, having exercised their option of
pertaining arty of the company's engines, thirty-ono of
each engines having been replaced, during the half=
engines of a superior description, and at a
cost. In the course of the past half-year, differences arose
between several of the companies interested in the traffic
of South Staffordshire with London, which led to a
competition at reduced rates, and neceseitated a corresponding
change in the rates of this company. Conferences, however,
took pace, which resulted in en agreement, under which the
rates were restored from the let of February. The proprie-
tors are aware that an arrangement has for some time sub-
sisted between this company and the Great Western, under
which the traffic has been carried in competition at equal
rates by both routes; year directors have now to repoet,
that the outlines of an agreement with that company have
been signed by the respective chairmen, and refited to,
by which undue and tusemmerative competition may hence-
forth be avoided, and at the same thoesat opportunity given to
each company to enter upon such farther redaction of ex-
pense in the districts where the two systems meet es will tend
to secure to each a better return ilormery dneoriplke of traffic
meted. The details of that arrangement are WAR under con-
sideration before it can be carried out ; end It would be unwise,
therefore, as your directors consider, that they should ester,
upon this occasion, more fully into that "abject. The two ma-
earfeleamoted by this company in the preeentamion are
A bill for a seven-mile line, from the termination of the
Torithire lines of this company at Staleybriden to a junction
with the main line, three miles south of Manchester. The
other sthesere embraces numcrona objects, the prin-
cipal of which are :—Power to sthege the Victoria

mespeay the ancashire and Yorkshke, end which has
bag been bad inadequate for the acommedstka of the
