We gave a few weeks back a cornpiratire st2le°,
of the receipts of the principal lines of railway clurig:'-to
half-year to June, and it must be highly in:e:est'nb„o
pursue the investigation, as the season advances, ar'"l.-6
much anxiety is felt concerning the stales and fut,u
prospects of railways. We will give our figures fl,
and comment upon them afterwards; and it will b 3 °cif,

One of the first things that will strike the. realerl
scanning this table will be the decrease in the r,cciris'',.o
of some of the old lines, that upon the Great Vir°`b.je
being nearly one-fourth of the whole, or ecrisidera4o
more if we take into account the additional 60:1 yore'
opened. The North-Western, with 42i miles ,131,.,%,'•
shows a trifling reduction in receipts, and. liatis"„--;
companies are in a similar position. One cank;
avoid the conclusion, upon pondering (ever tia a,
results, that the competition of new lines has snitch tog
with them, the more especially when we observe
great addition to the takings of some of the int'g'rtis
they become developed; but we really see nothing Pl`^the
cular to excite despondency in regard to, at least' id
majority of the companies. A diversion of traffic /113tii
ier
be the consequence of the novelty alone, and if kre-..
facilities are afforded, a temporary reduction in the rat
ceipts of the old companies is a matter of cousse•
tid
the latter, however, with increase of population Ili
national wealth will find as much as they can POlB/.,4
do in the course of a few yeare, and that pearl e' 'to
line may ultimately be brought to yield a fair return Id
the shareholders, we feel perfectly assured,-and iirt%
impress upon the minds of timid holders with°l4
th
any way seeking to influence them in respect to
disposal of their further surplus means, that grossaiti
ceipts do not always give a fair measure of unit prouhat
'We have seen by the example of several companies
there may be large earnings and small profits, ti,ie,t-oe
pease of extra trains, &c , dragging heavily ou the ta•tho
This we believe will partly explain the falling off 1,11; of
Great Western and other receipts, and a 1.0(11;611-dig
outlay may assist in sustaining a dividend. That 'to
shall be carried, however, to an extent affecting
public accommodation, we trust never to see.

The steamer Caledonia has arrived from Americo,
the letters will not be delivered in due course un
to-morrow. In the meantime, the outline received r

formed parties believe that it is much more likely theici

Brazilian Old Bonds are 86. Portuguese Four per

what more satisfactory accounts from Lisbon. Th(P

Spanish are flat this morning.
Railway Shares hare lost part of yesterday's aria*
and are quieter.
An every-day reader near Huddersfield, if we right'''.
clecypher his writing, should be aware that the official
share list in the first edition of The Stan, and of course
the remarks upon it, aro up to one o'clock, and for the
closing list he must get a later edition, although the
remarks will not apply to changes after that hour, tin"
frequent as they are. The strictest attention is Pa'
under this head to describe the market from the autho-
rized prices only, and not to please mere speculators.
