RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.•
We have reason to believe that were the London end
North-Western Railway Company to divide among the,
aharehold.xs in the beginning of 1852, all that they wild
have fairly earned in the current half-year, they would
be in a position to pay 8 per cent., but as it is not likely
that they will deem it advisable to pay more than 6 per
cent., the sum, atter paying that amount of dividend,
which they will carry over to the following half-yesr,
will exceed 200,0001.
THE RAILWAY TRAFFICS.—The traffics for the VIA
week, so tar as they are known, are greater than ever.
The London and North-Western receipts exceed
66,5001., being 15,0001. more than the corresponding
we,k of last year. The Great Western traffic is
29,2701., which, with the exception of the week of the
Windsor C tale Show, is much higher than before. It
is 11,0001, above the corresponding week of 1850. The
receipts for the London and South-Western amounted
to 19,1301., which we believe is higher than the re-
ceipts of the corresponding week last year by more than
5,000/., though the receipts for the latter week have not
reached us.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. NEW ROUTE TO
CAMBRIDGE.—By the opening of this company's line to
Shepreth a new route is furnished between Cambridge
and London.
RAILWAY CONGRESS.—The Architect says, the nigh
Dutch Railway Congress will be held this year at Nu-
remberg. Forty-six delegates of railway companies bale
been named. It would be well if a like congress ivere
yearly held in England.
RAILWAYS AND THE MAILS.—AII have been made
to feel the inconvenience of the non-arrival of the mail
trains from the south. The Great Exhibition is be'
coming a mighty tyrant, causing all things to succumb
to its potent influence. We poor country people hate
been made to wait the pleasure of the metropolis long
enough, and we are glad to hear that our term of servi-
tude has at length expired. Mr. Addison,
the super-
intendent of the Caledonian Railway, has been up to
London, and the result of a conference he has had with
the directors of the London and North-Western Rail-
way will to-night be practically proved a great advan-
tage to the north. It has been agreed, in order to
avoid the late arrivals of the mails in future, to dispatch
the mail train from the Euston-square station at a quar-
ter before nine o'clock in the morning precisely, to take
none but through passengers, and the express condition
is that it shall punctually keep its time at every station.
In this case wo may expect the arrival of the evening
mail in Carlisle about 8 A.m., nearly two hours earlier
than its usual time for some months back. A train will
follow soon after, transporting to its destination the sur-
plus traffic, which now hangs like a nightmare on the
regular—we should say—irregular mails.—Carlisle.

CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY. The shareholders
aru invited to an experimental trip, by train, from Cork
to Bandon, on Thursday. The train will leave the Cork
terminus at one o'clock.
