EXPORTATION OF SILVER COINAGE
TO AUSTRALIA.

Since the recent discCTo;y of gold in our Australian
Colonies, but more particularly now that thousands of
" fortune seekers" are hard at work in the'" diggings,"
the greatest difficulties have been experienced by the
emigrants from the want of a small circulating medium
in purchasing the various articles they require—either
for food or raiment—as hitherto they have been obliged
to pay in gold, at a great loss to themselves and profit to
the dealers. A considerable number of money specula-
tors have taken advantage of this deficiency of a silver
currency in this colony, and have embarked during the
last few months with very large sums of silver coinage,
sovereigns, and half-sovereigns, for the purpose of making
extensive purchases of gold in exchange from the emi-
grants. The demands at the Bank of England, the Royal
Mint, and the City and \Vest-end banking-houses for:silver
coinage (sixpences, shillings, florins, half-crowns, and five-
shilling pieces) have been very numerous within the last
few weeks. One party, it is said, having been able to obtain
to the amount of 10,0001., which has been shipped off,
consigned to their agents at Port Philip and Geelong, as
there exists a very great scarcity of silver bullion in the
City, and the Bank of England will not accommodate
one person with more than 500/. of silver currency at a
time, so great is the demand at present for exportation.
Very large sums have also been transmitted from Liver-
pool for the same purpose, and a considerable quantity
of gold and silver specie was sent out by the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Company's splendid new packet
the Formosa, which sailed from Southampton on Satur-
day last, the 7th inst., for Port Philip and Sydney. The
Great Britain steamer, 3,500 tons and 500-horse power,
appointed to sail on the 21st inst.; the South Sea, 2,000
tons, on the 25th; and the Sarah Sands steamer, 1,30.01
tons, on the 25th inst. from Liverpool, it is stated,
ll
also take out a very large amount of specie, besides
many other vessels that will sail during the course of
this month from the port of London with enterprising
adventurers to the diggings.

RAIL WA Y INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
The directors of nis ceeipaey hove just issued
their report to be selneeitted to the preprietees et the
hell-e-retry meeting oa Tuesday ntxt. It states that
ftc eeeeunti for the half-year End rig the 30th of
June, 1852, show the net reveeee ol tats period, after
deducting interest cn loans, and all nreferential
charges, to he 102,7181. The surplus from December
31, 1851, 8,2801., making together 110,998/. applicable
to dividend, from which the directors recommend that
a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 31 per cent.
per annum be declared, amounting to 109,4561.,
leaving to be carried over to the next
account 1,5421. The average dividends par
annum of the last three years, ending June 30
in each year, have been-1850, 3-,1,-; 1851, ;
and 1852, 41. The revenue receipts for the half-year
ending the 30th of June, 1852, amounted to 281,773/,
and for the corresponding period of 1851 to 981,5521.,
including the first two months of the increased traffic
resulting from the Exhibition ; the working charges
on revenue during the first-mentioned period. being
111,6441., and during the six months in 1851,
99,4481., showing that while the receipts have kept
up to the level of 1851, the charges are higher by
12,1961. The receipts from passengers are less than
those of the corresponding period of last year by
9,9681., of which 2.7151. is attributed to the increase
of traffic up to the 31st of May, 1851, and 7,273/.
during the month of June, 1851, in consequence of
the Exhibition. Excluding the month of June, when,
in 1851, the charge of admission into the Exhibition
had reached that low price which was found to attract
the great crowds of visitors, the passenger revenue
of the present year was as good as that of 1851 ; and
the report asserts that the stimulus given to travelling
last summer by the Exhibition has not had any bad ef-
fect, as was apprehended, on the traffic of this year. The
decrease in the passenger revenue is covered by the
increase in the goods traffic revenue. The increase
of 12,1961. in the working charges arises principally
in the following items, viz.:—locomotit-e and carriage,
6,8081.; and Corsham and Portsmouth extra expen-
diture on works for strengthening the line, and other
joint line expenses, 2,600/. The locomotive and car-
riage increased expenses arise from the increase of
outlay in repairs requisite in order to recover the ex-
cessive wear and tear to which the carrying stock was
subjected in the summer of 1851, the demands of the
carrying stock for the four summer months of that
year having been double that of all ordinary summers.
This is confirmed by the fact that the new material
put in to replace worn-out parts has cost during
the six months more this year than last year
by 7,6001. The engines of the company are
now in a better condition than they have ever yet
been. The old engines have now nearly all been
replaced by engines of improved construction. The
present engines, notwithstanding they draw greater
weights at greater speed than the older engines, con-
, sume considerably less coke per mile. The con-
sumption of coke this half.year (19.91 b. per mile) is
less by 11 per cent. than the consumption per mile of
last year. The directors regret to state that the
traffic manager of the company left this country in
March last. Up to the present time there appears to
be a deficiency of cash unaccounted for of 2,9001. on
the part of the manager. Allowances are also claimed
by carriers and others amounting to 5,0531. The
directors have &bitted the

ditidsnd of 5 per cent. must be paid to the steamboatte
company to the 30th of June. Tha position of lae
claims of railway companies to exemption from duty
on passenger-tax on fares at and under ld. per mile
continues under litigation between this company and
the Inland Revenue Commissioners. The rates for
the half-year amount to 9,1401., or 8 per cent. on the
net revenue. The rating thus continues a grievous
burden on this and other railway companies. The
provision against accident to the men working the
trains is now in satisfactory operation, the men
having generally voluntarily entered into it. The
basis of this casualty fund is, that on the servants
allowing a certain small deduction, not exceeding
ld. per week, from their wages towards a provision
fund against the consequences of accident in the per-
formance of duty, the company add an equal contri-
bution, which will afford compensation to relatives in
all fatal cases of 50/.; in all cases of loss of limb, 251;
and in case of permanent disqualification for future
employment a suitable compensation to the individual
injured. The amount charged for these and other
benevolent objects is, fur the present half-year, at the
rate of 500/. per annum. A modified agreement
between this company and the Brighton Com-
pany is now being acted upon in respect
to the Portsmouth traffic, and it is hoped that it will
'lead to the continuance and strengthening of those
friendly relations which have now for some time past
existed between the two companies. A responsible
party has offered to make a branch from the station of
the company at Wimbledon to Mitcham, a distance of
two miles, on a perfect level, on a guaranteed rent
from this company of 1,5001. per annum, being at the
rate of 5 per cent. on computed cost. This branch
will be capable of being joined with a branch which
the Brighton Company have agreed to make from
Croydon to Mitcham, on certain conditions, with the
same party who has made the offer in question to this
company. The directors, seeing the very attractive
nature of the building property between Croydon
and Wimbledon, recommend the proprietors to au-
thorize them to take up the project at any time
during the next year when it may appear expedient
to do so, and mutually satisfactory terms among all
parties can be arranged. It will, on the terms
proposed, involve no additional expenditure of
capital to the company, and be undoubtedly
of local convenience in a populous neighbour-
hood, and a productive feeder to the main line.
After adverting to the three vacancies at the board,
the report states that the north and south junction
line from Brentford to Willesden, by means of which
Sc uthampton will be connected with London docks
and warehouses, as well as with Manchester and the
whole railway system of the north, is advancing to
completion, and will probably be open for traffic early
in September. The works from New Basingstoke to
Andover are in active operation. The amount rea-
