OPINING OF NEW RAILWAYB.—The opening of
the new route to Brighton, ou the Horsham and Dorking
line of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway,
took place yesterday morning. The first train left Lon-
don-bridge at 5 minutes past 6 o'clock, and others were
despatched during the day, at 20 minutes past 8, 5 minutes
sit 2, and at 2a minutes to 5. The brat train from
Brighton to London-bridge left the former terminus at
6.40, calling at the new stations of Dorking, Horsham,
Wareham, Ockley, and Holmwood, and three others were
despatched during the day at 8.30,12.10, and 4.57. The
train% were well tilled. Yesterday morning also the South
London line of the rune company, from London-bridge to
Victoria, was opened throughout for public traffic. The
first half of the line, it will be remembered. way opened
last year from London-bridge to loughLorough.park, the
remaining portion to Victoria station not being then com-
pleted. The trains of the company, which ran very fre-
quently during the day, pass, after leaving Brixton, over
the old Metropolitan extension line of the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Railway, using the stations of the latter
company at Clapham and Wandsworth-road, and thence
the line is carried to the Midge over the Thames on a
light brick viaduct, there being, however, an intermediate
station at York-road, Battersea. The first train was
despatched yesterday morning at a very early hour over
the new line, and throughout the day the traffic was
carried on with great reelarity.
