AIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
SAMBRE AND 11Et:sE --We understand that all the
differences betwr:en the-contractors and the directors of
this railway having now been amicably settled, circum-
stsmses aro bdieved to Vein a fair train for the company
reee.,ving a3sistance from the Belgian Government, in
the shape.of a gurant;ed dividend, to enable the com-
pany to complete the line, which can be done for about
170,000 Z

SOUTH DEVON.--We can state, from the best autho-
thority, that the accounts of the last half-year's working
of this line exhibit a much more gratifying result than
wits anticipated by the most sanguine shareholders.
A dividend on the original shares will consequently be
forthwith declared, with a moral certainty that in the
course of the current year it will be increased to 2, if not
2i per cent.
THE GREAT NORTHERN..—The great Northern
Railway undertaking in this neighbourhood advances
satisfactorily ; the line is nearly on a dead level about
Newark, and the works being very light, are nearly
completed. Rails are being laid down in aid of the
river operations, upon which about 200 men are em-
ployed. The company are fortunate in securing the
enterprising agency of Messrs. Rennie and Logan, of
_ Newport, Montnouthhire, who have spiritedly engaged
in the Trent works, at a very moderate contract. The
Newark dyke will be crossed by an iron bridge with two
openings of 105 feet span each (probably there will be
three openings) ; and about halt a mile beyond it will
be a river cutting, about 300 ft-et in width, and nearly
1,000 feet loag, which will be crossed by a viaduct 280
yards in length, comprising two end series of 12 arches,
18 feet span each, and 5 central ones, 40 feet span each.
A formidable embankment will fill the gap betwixt the
bridges, and obstruct the present course of the Trent ;
whilst a " stop bank" will serve as a dam to that river
(at the auxiliary point of the " elbow") about half a
mile higher up, at the junction of the new cutting which
will be the-Trent's future course. This part of the com-
pany's 'magnificent undertaking is likely to be finished
in Bor 9 months. The site of the station hes not yet
been determined.— Lincoln Times.
RAILWAY THAFYIC.—It appears from a return of
traffic upon all the railways in the United Kingdom
during the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1850, that
the length of railway over which the traffic was conveyed
was at the commencement of the half-year 6,032 mile%
and at the end of the half-year 6,308 miles. The num-
ber of passengers conveyed was 31,766,503, of which
3.17_;005 -were first-class passengers, 11,905,919 second-
class, 7,055,181 third-class, and 9,023,397 parliamentary
c'ais. The receipts were respectively 927,6081.,
1,205,968 L, 307,3171., and:569,463/. ; total receipts for pas-
sengers, 3,010,357'.; and forgoods,parcels,cattle, and mails,
3,046,933/.; together, 6,057,2914 The receipts for the
corresponding period of 1849 amounted to 5,455,9361.,
namely, 2,822,673/. for 28,767,867 passengers, and
2,633,262/. for goods, cattle, parcels, mails, &c. The
length of railway over which the traffic was conveyed at
the commencement of the half-year ending the 30th of
June, 1819, was 5,127 miles, and at the termination of
it 5,447 miles. The return shows an increase in the
number of passengers for the half-year ending 1850 of
2,998,636 as compared with the corresponding period of
1849, of which 441,917 were first-class passengers,
705,015 second-class, and 2,046, 563 parliamentary
class. A decrease of 139,264 is shown in the third-class
passengers. The total receipts on the Scotch lines
during the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1850,
amounted to 603,2451. on 692 miles; and on the Irish
lines to 239,614/. on 515 miles. The increase in the
mileage on the Scotch lines was 129 miles, and in the
receipts 61 635/., and the increase on the Irish line's 104
miles, and in the receipts 54,7721., as compared with the
corresponding period of 1849.
RAILWAY ACTS PASSED IN 1850.—From a return of
railway Acts passed in the session of 1850 it appears the
number was 34, of which 2 were for lea-es, &c.; 14 for
extension of time and amendments of Acts; 6 for•de-
viations, extensions, and other works, and for which no
new capital was required; 3 for branches, and for which
new capital was required; 3 for dissolution of company
or reduction of capital; and 6 for additional capital for
works previously authcrized. The aggregate length of
railway authorized was 43i miles, and the length of rail-
way abandoned 55i miles, causing a decrease in the
mileage previously authorized of 1t 4 miles. The capital
authorized to be raised during the above session amounted
on shares to 1,920,000/. and on loan to 2,195,6321; and
the reduction in the amount of capital authorized pre-
vious to 1850 amounted on shares to 646,7001., and on
loans to 214,9001., making the total increase of capital
1,273,3001, and of loans 1,980,7321., together 3,254,0321.
An Act incorporating the class A shareholders in the
St. Andrew's and Quebec Railroad Company was also
passed, and the capital authorized 80,0004 The total
amount of capital.authorized in the session of /950 to
be raised for railway purposes was 333,0324
MAILS ON RAILWAYS.—It appears from a return just
issued that the amount paid by the Post-office to the
railway companies for the conveyance of mails during
the year 1848 was 318,5841., and during 1849, 253,585/,
and for other services, 821. for each year.
