RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

OUNING OF THE BIRMINGHAM, WOLVER-

HAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY.

This most d,sirable event, so long delayed by the
dissensions which for many months past have existed
brittrecn the London and North-Western and the Shrews-
bury and Birmingham Companies, took place yesterday.
It was not celebrated by eny of those formalities and
fefAvities which nsuully give eclat to proceedings of this
description; the line being simply opened for passenger
traffic, by the running of trains in the ordinary way on
lines of railway. The first train, which (owing to pre•
vious dLappointment) left Birmingham for Wolverhamp-
ton at eight o'clock, was but indifferently tenanted; but
is it were Mr. Baker, Mr. Norris, ldr. Brucyers, Mr.
Morgan, and other gentlemen connected with the Lon-
don and North-Western and Birmingham and Stour
Valley Companies. Captain Finish had proceeded by
an Earlier train.

An amusing incident occurred during one of the re-
turn journey s from Wolverhampton. For several years
one of the chief modes of conveyance from the mineral
district to the Midland metropolis has been a lime of
canal packets, drawn by horses. In the neighbourhood
of Dudley Port, the usual water conveyance, by assist-
ance of whip and spur, wire seen to struggle up the
canal when the railway train, mach to the amusement
and amidst the mirth of its passengers, sprang by at the
rate of twenty miles an hour. Th scene was ludicrous.
The trains out of Birmingham to-day were not
crowded; but those from Wolverhampton and the
mining Cistricts were filled beyond all anticipation.
During the day, not fewer than from 2,000 to 3,000
mu.it have arrived iu Birmingham by the Stour Valley
railway. Nor can it be wondered at, considering the
imuloa:-.z., population of the db.tricr, and that a person by
this route can travel from Birmingham to Wolverhamp-
ton, a distatce of thirtezn miles, for ninepence, in forty
minutes.
