crease of 313 miles, and of £9,540 in the receipts. The
gross receipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the
aggregate, on 7,221 miles, to £446,386; and for the corres-
ponding week of 1861, on 7,006 miles, to £434,869, show-
ing an increase of 215 miles, and of £11,517 in the receipts.
The increase on the Caledonian amounted to £163; on the
Great Eastern to £313 ; on the Great Northern to £1,387 ;
on the Great Southern and Western to £403; on the Great
Western to £3,706; on the London and North. Western to
£2,592; on the London, Brighton, and South Coast to
£2,013; on the London and South-Western to £1,881;
on the North British, to £32; on the North-Eastern, to
£1,388 ; and on the South-Eastern, to £1,596 ; total,
£15,474. But from this must be deducted £2,575, the de-
crease on the Lancashire and Yorkshire; 1;337 on the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire ; and £45 on the
Midland ; together, £3,157, leaving the increase, as ahoy°.
£11,517. Tho goods and mineral traffic on those lines
amounted to £231,181, and for tho corresponding week of
1861 to £237,398, showing a decrease of £6,217. The re-
ceipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £215,205,

traffic receipts on 64 other lines amounted, on 3,279 miles,
to £113,634, and for the corresponding week of last year,
on 3,180 miles, to £115,611, show ing a decrease of 99 miles,
and of £1,977 in the receipts. The increase in the passen-
ger traffic of the past week, as compared with the corre-
sponding period of 1861, arises chiefly from the Interna-
tional Exhibition and excursion traffic ; and the decrease
in the goods traffic from depression in trade. The total
receipts of the past week show a decrease of £20,898 as
compared with those of the preceding Week, ending the 18th
of October.
