RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE EXHIBI-
TION oar 1851.—The following notice has just been
issued by the Great Western Railway Company, and
duly . signed by Mr. Saunders, the secretary:—" The
directors of the Great Western Railway Company hav-
ing resolved to allow to each of the officers, clerks, and
servants on the establishment of this company leave of
absence for four day, to visit the Exhibition, ind a free
pass to.and from London for that purpose,- to be used at
some period during the months of July, Augttst,-,ue,
September, the superintendents of the Loudon. and
Bristol divisions, and the heads of. departments, are re-
quired to make out a list of all in their respective dis-
tficts or offices, fixing to each person a particular date
and period of leave of absence, which is to be mainly e e-
termined by the exigencies-ot the service. The arrange-
ments for leave must be so made as, in every instance to
insure the proper performance of every duty, and due
caution for the safety of trains, &e., the numbers lesvit.g
at any time being limited, so that others may undertake
their duties during their absence. The directors, sub
ject to this condition, wish that the convenience of the
oldest servants should be first ascertained and consulted,
and as far as practicable, the arrangement for leave, dis-
"tributi d over the three months, should be made in a
manner most suitable to the objects of all the company's
officers, clerks, and other servants."
