THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—Ii is announced that
the London station of the Midland Railway, a deecriptioa
of the works of which we gave lest week, will be opea
for traffic on the let of October. The traffic receipts of
the line continue to show very good increases, and we are
informed that a considerable portion of the increase is due
to the new traffic between Bedford and London. The traf-
fic carried over the Metropolitan by the Midland considera-
bly exceeds the amount originally anticipated. and it is stated
that the Metropolitan will receive' in the shape of tolls,
more than the minimum payment fixed under the agree-
ment between the two companies. The line will be offi-
cially inspected by Colonel Hutchinson. of the Board of
Trade, on en early day next week : and if the opening is
sanctioned, of which there can be no doubt, judging from
the present condition of the works, the whole of the pas-
senger service, including the express trains, will be re-
moved from the Omit N'orthern at King's-cross, to the
new Pancras statien.—Railierry Sew..
