TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK.
The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom
amounted for the week ending the 20th of September, on
10,485 miles, to £624,592, and for the corresponding week of
last year, on 10,125 miles, to £587,799,
showing an increase
of 360 miles, and of £36,793 in the receipts. The gross re-
ceipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the aggre-
gate, on 7,207 miles, to £197,276 ; and for the correspond-
ing week of 1861, on 6,945 miles, to £462,642, showing an
increase of 262 miles, and of £34,634 in the receipts. The
increase on the Caledonian amounted to £606; on the
Great Eastern to £1,580 ; on the Great Northern to £4,254 ;
on the Great Western to £5,250 ; ou the London and
North-Western to £7,685 ; on the London, Brighton, and
South Coast to £3,859 ; on the London and South-Western
to £4,715; on the Midland to £3,885 ; on the North
British to £1,545 ; on the North-Eastern to £1,758 ; and
on the South.-Eastern to Z 5,003 ; total, £39,640. But
from this must 'be deducted £1,545, the decrease on the
Great Southern and Western; £3,250 on the Lancashire
and Yorkshire ; £2ll on the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincolnshire; together, £5,006, leaving the increase, as
above, £34,634. The goods and mineral traffic on those
lines amounted to £221,287, and for the corresponding week
of 1861 to £218,454, showing an increase of £2,833. The
receipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £275,989
against £244,188, showing an increase of £31,801. The
traffic receipts on 64 other lines amounted on 3,279 miles,
to £127,316, and for the corresponding week of last year,
on 3,180 miles, to £125,157, showing an increase of 99 miles,
and of £2,159 in the receipts. The increase in the traffic of
the past week, as compared with the corresponding period
of 1861,
arises chiefly from the passenger traffic to the
International Exhibition. The traffic receipts of the past
week show an increase of £3,429 as compared with those of
the preceding week, ending the 13th inst.

111 VEILLARD AND THE RON. F.

'CAI)OGAN-

- „
The -lion. Cadogan has published the following
lettek:—

" Sir,—l returned this morning from Switzerland,
where I have passed the last fortnight, unfortu-
nately out of reach of letters and papers. I have
therefore only just seen your impression of the 18th,
wherein you allude to my connexion with M. Veil-
lard in the refreshment department of the Interna-
tional Exhibition. I trust that it is not too late to
furnish you with the following explanation. My
position towards M. Vci lard was strictly defined by
an agreement drawn by rgy family solicitors, Messrs.
Fladgato and Co., which agreement was further
settled by counsel, for the double purpose of securing
me against the risks of NT. Veillard's engagements,
as also against any possible imputation of having
made an agreement which could offend against pub-
lic policy in principle or detail. The existence of
this agreement was well known, not only to the
executive, by whom my
position was fully recog-
nised, but by most of those gentlemen who, I regret
to say, are now the largest
and who form the committeet creditors of the estate,
of inspection for wind-
ing up the affairs.
The paymentin consideration
under
the above agreement was-
vices rendered for now more than twelve months to
M. Veillard, in conducting for him the negotiations
with capitalists and others incidental to the under;
taking, preparing his tenders, procuring a large
portion of the capital, superintending all the con-
structions and legal arrangements, and, above all,
in being the intermediary between the executive of
the Exhibition and M. Veillard in all the endless
questions of detail and management, which it was
manifestly impossible for a foreigner to have per-
sonally conducted. Her Majesty's Commissioners,
and most of M. Veillard's principal creditors and
supporters, can bear witness to the number
and importance of those arrangements, which for
nearly four months required, not only daily, but
constant attendance upon the commissioners and
their officers. I have received £2,400, which was
paid to me by the daily receipt of one-eighth of a
penny per head for each visitor to the Exhibition.
On the other hand, a large portion of this amount
was lent by me to M. Veillard, who still owes me a
balance of £550 on this loan account. I am further
personally liable for £1,600 advanced to him upon
my private security- It is not for me to decide
whether the services rendered, and the responsi-
bilities incurred, have been over remunerated by the
balance remaining in my favour. The sole purpose
of this statement is to reply to your natural ques-
tion n 9 to my connection with M. Veillard's con-
tract, and to refute the cruel and libellous attacks,
of which, in my absence,
I have been made the ob-
ject by some of the press and its correspondents, by
whom it is insinuated that I used undue influence
to obtain the contract for
M. Veiliard, and that I
put for ward a man of straw in
order to victimise
his creditors to my
sole profit. All the negotiations
that took place with her Majesty's Commissioners
on behalf of DI. Veillard were conducted by me,
solely with those gentlemen in their official capacity.
It amounts to an insult to them that I should be re-
quired to assert that on no occasion, either by word
or by implication, did I receive any preference or
