ACCELERATION OF THIRD CLASS TRAINS ON THE
SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.—That travelling for the million
should be the theory of all railways has long been contended
for by the organs of public opinion. To the honour of the
South-Western Railway Company be it recorded that they
have been the first to make this theory a great fact. By an
advertisement which will be found in another column, it ap-
pears that the South-Western Company have determined,
from and after the Ist of May, to increase the number of their
trains, to accelerate their speed, and to vary the hours of de-
parture to suit the public convenience—to carry second-class
passenge:s with the r express trains—to abolish the sloto trains
altogether, and to carry third-class passengers at the Patna-
mentary fares, with their ordinary trains, fur times a day,
each way, and at hours to allow an early departure and Late
return to and fro. This last is a great step in advance,
and it shows a determination on the part of the South-
Western Railway Company to comply not only with
the letter, but with the spirit of the Act of Parliament,
which speaks much for the liberality of the Company. They
may rely upon it that the public will meet them more than
half way, and that they will he more than compensated for
the increased accommodation afforded to the public at a re-
duced cost (for they have revised the tariff of fares, and
reduced it cor.siderably), by the increased travelling which
will take place on their line. The South Western Company are
the first who have acted on the principle of " locomotion fur
the million," and we doubt not but the experiment will
prove so successful, that every other company will ere long
find that it is to their interest to follow so excellent an
example. To the South. Western, however, belongs the
honour of being the first to fairly carry out the intentions of
the Legislature in favour of cheap and rapid travelling for
the poorer classes.

THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—
A new arrangement has just taken place, agreeably to an
order issued by Earl Delawarr, the Lord Chamberlain,
with reference to the tickets signed by his Lordship fur
viewing the State Apartments of the Castle. In order to
prevent, as far as possible, the hawking about of those tickets
in the streets of Windsor, and the impositions practised upon
those victors to the town who may be unprovided with the
Lord Chanilserlain's orders, these tickets for the future will
be available for only one week from the period at which
they are dated. They are also for the future not to
be transferable. It is also stated that, at a very early
period, an arrangement will be made, so that the admissions
to the state apartments will be procured by the public, at
the office of Mr. Roberts, the recently appointed Inspector
of Palaces, in the department of the Lord Chamberlain.
The number of tickets, each to admit seven persons, issued
by the four establishments in London, where they are only
to be procured, since the Ist of January (the day on which
the new Elrr4egement came into operation), up to Saturday
last, exceeds three thousan4.
