RAILWAY REVENUE OF 1845.—The receipts of
the first half-year amount to upwards of 3,680,0001., being an
increase of 600,0001., on the corresponding half-year of 1844.
Putting out of consideration the London and Birmingham,
the Grand Junction, and the . Midland, whose receipts, we
know, have largely increased, but which are difficult of
comparison owing to the amalgamations, we may attribute a
large portion of the increase of 600,000/. to the following
lines, and in the following proportions :—The Eastern Coun-
ties, 40,0001 ; the Great Western, 47,000/. ; the Blackwall,
10,000/.; the Brighton, 20,000/. ; the Croydon, 27,000/. ; the
South-Western, 13,000. ; the Manchester and Leeds,
36,000/. ; the Newcastle and Darlington. 49,000/. ;
the Preston and Wyre, 7,009/. ; the Sheffield and Manches-
ter, 23,000/. ; the South-Eastern, 48,000/. ; the Taff
Vale, 6,000/.; and the York and North Midland, 21,0001.
The total gross receipts of the railways for the United King-
dom for the year 1845 have been almost 6,650,0001., showing
an increase of 1,100,000/., or 20 per cent. over those of the
year 1844; 1,800,000/., or 37 per cent. over those of 1843;
and 2,3000,0001., or 54 per cent. over those of 1842! These
are most encouraging prospects for future honest enter-
prise. The working railway property of Great Britain may
therefore be reckoned as worth from twenty to twenty-five
millions more at the present moment than at this time last
year; in other words, a clear increase of that amount has
been added to the productive capital of the country. It is
true that some additional lines of railway have been opened
during that period, but their amount is small, and is more
than counterbalanced by the omission of certain items of re-
venue not included above.—Railway Chronicle.
STEAM-BOAT COMPETITION ON THE THAMIs It
is the intention of one of the steam-boat companies to.c7m-
mence travelling between the Red House Pik.. Battersea,
and Chelsea, to London-bridge, for the sum of two-pence,
and another company has reduced their fare to Greenwi
to three-pence._

SAVINGS' BANNS.--We uuderstand that there is
now in course of signature by all depositors in savings'
bank:, petitions to the Howls of Commons, under the au-
thority of the managers, for a modification of such parts of,
the Amended Savings' Bank Act, 7th and Bth Victorii, as
refer to the amount of interest paid to depositors, with a
view to an increase in the rate of each interest.
