OPENING OP nu NEW DAILWAY STATION
IN CAIINON-STRENT.-(THIS DAY.)

The great City tars:pintas in connexion with the
siath Eastern Railway was opened this morn-
jog foe public traSe. The event 1.611 signalised
by the display of a number of Bp outside
the building ; whilst the profusion of colours exhibited
within the station evinced a desire to render the omission
one of &festive character. The station itself amyl be said
to be complete ; and its vast extent and gigantic glass roof
of one span render it one of the leading features of the
metropolis. The hotel, through which the passengers have
to mu to reach the station, as at Charing-cross, and
which forms the front toCannon-street, is not yet finished,
bet when it is it will present a noble specimen of archi-
tecture after the designs of Mr. Barry. The various
booking offices and waiting-rooms are replete with socsommo-
dation ; and it is stated that ample arrangements have
been made for the reception of about 20,000,000 passen-
gers yearly. To carry out such an undertaking
pest foresight must be required, as was shown
throughout this morning by the frequent blocks caused
by the number of trains arriving or departing. To avoid
a repetition of the delay experienced by the passengers to-
day much remains to be done. Mr. Eborall, the general
manager, was in attendance during the morning giving
imuuctions as to the working of the trains and signals,
the latter being of a very complicated nature. The local
trains between Charing-cross and Cannon-street were an-
nounced to ran about every five minutes, but to accom-
plish that is at present an impossibility, unless the main
line service be partially stopped. Trains also run from
Cannonatreet to Dover, Folkestone, Ramsgate, Margate,
Hastings, St. Leonard', due.
