TRAFFIC RECEIPTS.

The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom
amounted for the week ending the 25th of October, on
10,499 miles, to £560,020, and for the corresponding week
of last year, on 10,186 miles, to £550,480, showing an in-
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 an d outh-Western to 1:1,881 ;
on the North British, to £32 ; the North-Eastern, to
£1,383 ; 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 above,
£11,517. The goods and mineral traffic on those lines
amounted to £231,181, and for the corresponding week of
1861 to £237,398, showing a decrease of £6,217. The re-
ceipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £215,205,
against £197,471, showing an increase of £17,734. The
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 iu 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.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

THE CLOSING-THIS EVENING.

The attendance at the Exhibition to-day was very great,
and as the hour of closing its doors approached the ex-
citement became intense. At three o'clock Messrs. War-
ner's peal of bells began to ring out their well !mown
chime, and this appeared to animate every person with a
desire to redouble their movements in order to get a parting
glimpse of the treasures that for the last six months have
been the chief objects of attraction to every visitor.
The Koh-i-noor was besieged, ditto the Reading Girl, and
the same may be said of the Egyptian Jewels, the French
Court and the Picture Galleries, in fact the whole building
presented such an extraordinary appearance that a hurried
description is impossible.
As four o'clock approached the company began to move
towards the western dome, as it became generally known
that the National Anthem was to be performed as a sort of
closing ceremony.

At about five minutes past tha hour the great organ of
the Messrs. Walker began to peal forth its powerful
tones, and then arose the magnificent strain of the National
Anthem. The verses being sung by a body of ladies in the
galleries, and the chorus by the whole assemblage.
At the conclusion „of the Anthem, a gentleman raised
the Union Jack from the centre of the dais, which was the
signal for long and tremendous cheering, amidst which
the greatest Exhibition the world ever saw was brought to
a termination.

At three o'clock upwards of 32,000 persons had entered
the building ; but, up W as late as a few minutes to four,
the public continued paying for admission.

A YANKEE FILIBUSLER IN CHINA,

We find in:the Shanghai correspondence of the
New York Herald a curious sketch of Col. Ward,
the American, who now occupies a high command
under the Imperial Government of China :
Two or three years ago the mate of a coasting vessel cams
to Shanghai. He was neither better nor worse than mates
usually are. He was a green, boyish-looking fellow, with a
fair skin and long black hair, which fell in glossy waves to
his shoulders. There was no very great peculiarity about
him, except that his eye showed a vigorous constitution and
a most indomitable pluck. He was pretty hard up and was
unknown. He appeared hardly old enough to have been
much of an adventurer; yet his life had been a romance
from the first. He had been with Walker in his earlier ex-
peditions, and had had a taste of civil warfare in the South
American States, But it was not in the petty struggles of
such marauders alone that he had been schooled. He hind
been in the Crimea during the terrible war which was en-
acted there. He had seen the world, in fact. He had occu-
pied almost every position in the social scale, and at last
came to Shanghai the mate of a coasting vessel, sound in
health and the owner of a good deal more brains than people
generally gave him credit for. His name was then plain
Frederick Ward.
The rebels were pinching Shanghai sadly, and the Impe-
rialists couldn't help themselves. Thirty miles or so up the
Norsung river was a city called Soonkong, a very strong
city, like all Chinese cities of importance, surrounded with
high stone walls, outside of which was a deep ditch
always filled with water. This was the sore place, and
the rebels might be coming out some fine day and make
a descent upon Shanghai. The Imperialists couldn't take
the city ; 'it was beyond their abilities, and they would
pay a handsome price to get it. So 1% and entered into a
contract with them, and promised to take the city for
forty thousand taels. He was taken up, and a little while
after he, in company with SO Manillamen, surprised the
city of 7,000 rebels, took it by storm, and then very
quietly pocketed his forty thousand taels, receiving
hardly a scratch in the encounter. This was all very
well ; but the fellow's blood was up, and he wanted to
take another city some thirty miles beyond iSoonkong,
where the rebels: had retired and intrenched themselves
more strongly than before. The Touti-chin chinned him
exceedingly, and told him to go in. He did go in,
or, at
least, as far as the walls, and fell, shot in three places.
He did not die, however, but fell back upon Shanghail. to
recover from his wounds and plan another campaign.
' He was cut again in a few weeks, but with a hole in the
roof of his mouth .of the eize of a cherry stone, which
gave a sort of nasal twang to his speech. Meanwhile the
gazettes came down from Pekin, announcing his promo-
tion to the rank of colonel. He became.a Chinese subject,
married a Chinese woman of the small-footed kind—the
worst thing he ever did—and was created a mandarin of the
blue button. One day Col. Ward received a polite invita-
tion to dine on board H.M.S. Urgent, Capt. Hire. Putting
perfect faith in the invitation, and unsuspicious of under-
handed measures, the colonel went aboard at the time ap-
pointed, was seized by order of the captainand put in irons.
News of the occurrence spread rapidly through the settle-
ment. Americans protested against it, and even threatened
to use force in his liberation. Ward swearing to the fact of
his being a Chinese subject he was discharged. By and by,
down came the rebels again, making a furious demonstra-
tion against Shanghai. Big English hongs wrote down to
Hong Kong for naval assistance, and up came the Admiral
to see what the row was. He went up to Soonkong in
the Coromandel, and was much astonished. He found an
army of Chinamen there, dressed in foreign costume, carry-
ing foreign arms, and well drilled in the evolutions of
foreign tactics. He found foreign officers to each company,
and he found the great mover of it all, Col. Ward. Admi-
ral Hope liked Ward as soon as he became acquainted with:
cthe
him; so the French and the English Admirals and the
French
forces,
forcesan
d theylea n e
d Colonel consulted, and planned out a campaign against the
rebels. Ward's Chinamen were placed alongside the Eng-
lish didn'tr

Well, the allied
effectually, news of which reached Pekin, and shortly came
the gazettes announcing that Ward was
promoted to the
rank of general, and had his button raised another grade.
-Ward landed in Shanghai with a suit of clothes and six
Mexican dollars. He is now, at a moderate computation,
worth as many hundred thousand. He has the most san-
guine ideas about crushing the rebellion in China,, albeit
his progress thus far has not been much to boast of. He
has:offered Prince Kung to do it for ten millions of dollars,
and the Prince asserts that such a reward would be insig-
nificant in comparison with the extent of the labour. He
is now quietly drilling his new recruits and swelling his
army daily, preparing for the next approach of winter.
Dozens are applying every day to join him—members of
the police force, marines and sailors from the men of war
and the shipping: but he is very judicious in taking them
into his employ. He has now some 30 or 40 European offi-
cers under him, and has his head-quarters at Soonkong,
where the striciest discipline is enforced.

HYDROPHOBIA.—A melancholy case of hydro-
phobia has just occurred at Lyons. Madame X—, a lady
of good property, was bitten by a favourite dog in May
last, the animal at the time labouring under that dreadful
malady. Everything was done at the time to prevent any
ill consequences, but a few days since the lady was seized
in her turn, and in 43 hours expired. She retained her
faculties to the last, and was able to dispose a shehoperty
and receive the consolations of religion. when felt the
violent paroxysms of the disease coming on she would not
allow any one to remain near her, fearing that she might do
them harm.—Galignani.
