RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

AMBERGATE RAILWAY.—We learn from one of the
directors of the Great Northern Railway that thatture"
pang will not, after all, become the possessors of tba
Ambergate line, a rival leviathan company having dr
termined on offering the shareholders an uncondi-
tional_ guarantee, in perpetuity, so liberal as that &I,
cannot refuse to accept it, and which, when knowei
must, it is said, send the Ambergate shares up abne4
par.
INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The inctease,
of traffic since the Ist of January, over ann ,
above the receipts for the corresponding period of lam
year, has been considerable upon some of our litie3.
On the following lines it has been—
Great Northern ... £43 080
SAith Eastern ... 17,96!
Great Western ... 1509"
Eastern Counties ... 14,770
Midland ~ 12,77!
Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire 9,46'
Y*dlc, Newcastle, and Berwick ... 8,100
South Western ...
7343
York and North Midland
London and North- Western 4,546
Caledonian 4,944
The gross increase upon our railways since the 15
of January has been nearly 280 0001. The increas.
has been about 21. Wiper mile per week.
LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN AND GOO
NORTHERN V. THE AMBERGATE RAILWAY.—It ii
said that about 48 hours previously to the Great
Northern entering into the arrangement mentioned /11
ours of the 31, with the Ambergate Railway, the/
and the Loudon and North-Western had agreed CO
neither of them to treat with the Ambergate. /1/11
merely mention the circumstance as stated to us. 41`
shareholder has written to us to ask whether the late
committee of shareholders took any part of the arm
rangement with the Great Northern ? We may re'
ply that neither of them was consulted on the terms'
nor has assented to them. Oar own opinion is, fill
what we can gather from large shareholders, test
they will accept of nothing which will not bring the
shares up to par.— Herapath's Journal.
EASTERN COUNTIES AND NEWMARKET AND C

NEWMARKET,—The Committee, in reporting tal
preamble of this company's Bill for amendment
consolidation of Acts, state that the amount of captt
er
the company have at present power to raise %eel
their existing Acts, in addition to what has to.
already raised is 735,0001., and that the same isftbe
posed by the Bill to be reduced to 337;0001.;
amount of loan which they are Rmpowered to. rats
by the Bill is 112,0001., when the whole of their
duced capital is subscribed for, and One-half set! the
paid up. The works to be constructed uodel_.„t„
authority of the Bill will not necessitate further
tobteo,
lay of capital beyond what the company are eilhera
rived to raise, but will, on the contrary, enable. r. is
to reduce their capital. The proposed new. 10;bie
fourteen miles, with one tunnel, through fit"tl.o be
strata of 1,070 yards. The cost of the works wit__„,
121,500/., and the cost of those required to be tie""
doned would have been 274,7001.

The commercial reports from Antwerp state tbS.t
there has been little change in the general aspect of the PLQ:i
duce markets. There had been more inquiry for cotton ;,
relined sugar, but other staple articles remained calm. i_..•.-
only novel feature in the Dutch. markets has been an
t 7-6
proved demand for coffee, and a slight improvement in Ad
value of Java and Brazil. Raw and refined sugars are 11,1,
at firm prices, and for the latter there has been an active ti.
mand at Amsterdam. Other produce remains unalter ,
