RAIL WA Y INTELLIGENCE.

ABERDEEN.—The directors of this company have
arranged with the Scottish Midland Company to trans-
mit the whole of their traffic north over the line of the
latter company, the condition being that the Aberdet n
Company are to receive 20 per cent. out of the earnings,
which are to be taken as 75 per cent. of the gross ium
received for traffic. This arrangement will prevent the
Dundee and Perth Company receiving any of tLe north
traffic.

SOUTH-EASTERN.—The directors have determined on
opening the Bricklayers' Arms Station in the Old Kent-
road, now used only for the goods traffic, and which cost
300,0001.. as a west-end passenger station for the North
Kent line. The electric telegraph is laid upon this line
as far as Erith, and will soon be completed to Gravesend
and Rochester.

- LONDON AND SOUTEI-WESTERN.—This company's ex-
tension line to Farnham was opened on Saturday.
CALEDONIAN.—To meet the accommodation of the
working classes of the two capitals, this company notify
that they have resolved on attaching third-class carriages
to the trains leaving London and Edinburgh every Sa-
turday, by which a passenger can go through either way
for the sum of 30s.

MONMOUTHSUIRE.—This company have just opened
their improved lines for mineral traffic, being obliged by
Act of Parliament to do so, and become carriers by the
Ist of September. They will commence passenger traffic
presently.

CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—At an inquest held by
Mr. J. W. Payne, deputy coroner for the City, at the
Goldsmiths' Arms, Southwark, on the body of an infant,
aged two , ears, alleged to have died of cholera, the fol-
lowing gross case of cruelty was detailed:—The mother
of the infant was a street-walker, and she rented the
half of a back kitchen in a house in Rodney-street, and
in this miserable place—not large enough to admit a
bedstead—she lived with a man with whom she coha-
bited, and with her infant child. She was constantly
out, as was also her companion, and the child used
.to be
left locked in this den without any one to care for it for
many hours together. On Saturday, whentheemh
was out, a woman residing in the same housea mother

and he directed that it should be wrapped in blankets,'
and some beef tea given to it. Tke mother paid no at-
tention to these directions, and went out as usual, leav-
ing the child alone. Mr. Rendell, a surgeon, saw' the
child on Thursday, and gave the mother an order for
some beef, which she obtained, and after boiling it for
a short time she ate it herself, giving the liquor to the
child. The child was also to be placed in
warm bath,
which the mother also neglected. The mother used to
beat the poor infant in a shameful ms.nn, r, and often
wished it dead. W hen it died on Friday, she said,
" Thank God, my hands are free at last." (This wit-
ness was severely reprimanded by the Coroner for not
informing the police of the conduct and expressions
of the mother.) Mr. Rendell, a surgeon, proved that the
child died of diarrheas ; of course, the nr.glect it had (:x-
-perienced would be pr, judicial to it, but the noxious in-
fluences of the locality were such that he could not
venture to state that the treatment the child had re-
ceived from its savage mother had caused death. The
Coroner having adverted to these facts and to the opinion
given by Mr. Rendell, the jury returned d a
verdict of
" Natural Death."
