RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
OPENING OF THE AMIENS AND BOULOGNE

RAILWAY.
On Monday the section of the Amiens and Boulogne
Railway, extending between Abbeville and Neufchatel,
was opened to the public. The event is one of immense
importance to the public on both sides of the Channel,
as the opening of this section greatly facilitates and
shortens the communication between the two countries.
Neufchatel, the temporary terminus of the railway, is
within six miles of Boulogne, and with that exception
the railway and steam communication between London
and l'ari.3 is now complete. Between Boulogne and
Neufchatel there are numerous omnibuses and other
carriages which, at a trifing charge, carry passengers to
the terminus of the line in about three-quarters of an
hour.

The arrangements between the French and English
Post-offices for the transmission of the mail twice a day
between the capitals of the two countries, not coming
into operations till the Ist of January next, the railway
arrangements between Paris arid Boulogne are for the
present necessarily temporary. There are, however,
three regular trains already established each way. Tra-
vellers leaving Boulogne reach the temporary terminus
of the railway at Neufchatel in three-quarters of an
hour; and within eight hours from that time they find
themselves in Paris. The first train leaves Neufchatel
at eight o'clock in the morning, and arrives at Paris at
half past three in the afternoon; the second leaves at a
quarter before three in the afternoon, and arrives in
Paris at twenty minutes past ten at night, and the third
(the mail train) leaves Neufchatel at fire minutes past
nine o'clock at night, and reaches Paris at five o'clock
in the morning. Prom Paris the trains leave for Bou-
logne at eight o'clock in the morning, one o'clock inthe
afternoon, and seven o'clock in the evening (the mail
train), and arrive at Boulogne at a quarter to five in the
afternoon, nine o'clock in the evening, and half-past four
in the morning. After the Ist of January the arrange-
ments will be necessarily changed. From that day forth
one mail will leave Boulogne, and another leave Calais
for Dover, and no doubt additional trains will then be
established between Neufchatel and Paris.

There was no inangurative fête at the opening of the
line on Monday, that ceremony being postponed till the
completion of the line. Mr. Blount and Mr. Lewis Cu-
bit; two of the directors, went on Sunday over the whole
line to see that the arrangements were completed, and
on Monday the trains began to ply with as much regu•
laxity and absence of confusion as if the line had been at
work for years. The line is throughout in excellent
order.

It is expected that the short section between Neuf-
chatel and Boulogne will be opened about the end of
March. Some unexpected difficulties which have oc-
curred in the formation of the tunnel near Boulogne are
the cause of the delay. But for that the whole line
would have been open at the present time. Even as it
is, however, the Boulogne and Amiens Railway brings
London and Paris within little more than twelve hours'
journey of each other.
