The traffic in passengers, as at present existent upon the
City, Camden Town, Kentish Town, Hampstead, Marylebone,
and Pancras Roads, is of itself sufficient to insure, if not the
greatest, one of the most decided profitable returns from the
investment of capital ensr 'ct cfror'z'ti fc prl'”*-71`00,c7e the
number passing along one road alone, the City Road, is esti-
mated, upon a fair average, at eight thousand daily, although
it has been known to exceed fifteen thousand, and never
under five tlititiSand. Oxford-htrett, thought not immediately
connected with the above district, but merely Feferreu td as a
corroborative data, equals, if it does not surpass, the City-
' rJad in number. Goswell and St. John-street Roads have a
c msiderable traffic. Deriving, therefore, a portion from each
if the above places (with the exception of Oxford-street), it
surely cannot be deemed excessive to cstiTate the amount of
;iassengers upon the London Cirand Junction Railroad, as de-
ived from what may be termed its own immediate population,
looking looking at the improvements in case and facility of conveyance,
As compared with the present method, at 8,000 per diem, or
2,920,000 per annum. This number of passengers, at
each, would produce of itself an annual income of 73,000/.,
or a return, exclusive of reduction for outlay of wear and tear,
ic., of 9/. I4s. 91-d. per cent. upon the whole of the capital.
In addition to this, we may safely rely upon a portion of the
passengers upon the Great Western and Birmingham Rail-
ways. Having such a terminus, the chief metropolis of the
universe, and directly upon quitting the Railway a tavern, the
irst of that metropolis, offers its accommodations, can it be
doubted that passengers will accept of the conveyance offered
:hem, affording so complete a termination of their journey as
this does? The London and Birmingham Company esti-
mate their amount of passengers at 488,342 per annum,
Is arriving in London by the existent means of con-
veyance, without referring to the probable increase from
the economy and improvement of conveyance ; and the Great
Western Company estimate theirs at between five and six hun-
dred thousand per annum, also without reference to the supe-
riority of Railway conveyance over the old system of animal
power and heavy irregular roads; therefore, it cannot be pro-
ceeding upon an exaggerated statement to calculate four hun-
dred thousand of those numbers as passing by the London
Grand Junction Railway, which, at sixpence each, would pro-
duce an annual additional income of ten thousand pounds. The
next means of return will be derived from the tonnage on coals,
of which there are nearly 2,250,000 tons consumed annually in the
metropolis and its environs—of this quantity, considering the
country through which the Railroads pass, the supplies to be
derived from the collieries of Staffordshire, North and South
Wales, the Forest of Dean, &c., and the population of the part
of the metropolis contiguous to the line, and its connexions
with the Thames ; therefore, of the above 2,250,000 tons,
taking all these points into considerations, we may estimate
1,000,000 tons as passing along the London Grand Junction ;
this number, at 3d. per ton per mile, would produce an annual
income of 33,333/. 6s. Bd. Another source of income is derivable
from the conveyance of merchandize and cattle. The London and
Birmingham estimate- their return at 345,761/. per annum ;
and therefore if we take the proportionate amount of the above
sum, it will be 9,3441. I6s. ld. : and in addition to this, the
Great Western Railway Company estimate their returns for
merchandize and cattle at 287,2681. 14s. 3d. per annum, and
of this also taking the proportionate amount, it will be
7,3031. Bs. 10s. In addition to the above, a small toll being
levied upon carriages, &c. by the Upper-road, as the City-
road toll produces annually between 3 and 4,000/., considering
the advantages this road will derive from the superiority of its
connexion over other entrances into the City, it will doubtless
produce annually 5,000/., taking the calculation at a minus.
The total of the above sums amounts to 138,081/. I Is. 7d.,
and from this deducting for expenses necessarily contingent,
at a maximum of expense of 30,000/. annually, there remains
upon the capital a clear per tentage of 141. 12s. 10d. per ann.
We therefore sincerely wish this magnificent project every
success, which at once offers an excellent investment for capi-
tal as well as gives a great national improvement to the me-
tropolis.

two elegant crimson:and gold chairs provided for their Majes-
ties, and other seats, placed on either side. The ceremony
of confirmation of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam-

there were on the Sovereign's side the King and Queen, the

Household.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the Archbishop of Can-
ter bury addressed Prince George in a most impressive and
affectionate gptaikt which lasted about a quarter of an hour.
The " Coronation Andierti" wag then performed in a grand
manner.
The Royal and distinguished party then prepared to leave
the chapel, and the same procession was formed as when their
Majesties arrived, passion. down the north aisle, and out of the
porch, the soldiers in the meantime presenting arms. The
Royal party immediately returned to the Castle.
After the rehearsal of the anthem yesterday His Majesty
was so well pleased with the manner in which all the young
choristers acquitted themselves that lie gave them with his
own hands a sovereign each. The King took particular no-
tice of a little boy named Wigginton, and inquired for his fa-
ther and mother. The lad said his name was Thomas Wig-
ginton, and that he had neither. His Majesty uttered an ex-
clamation of regret, and twice mentioned the circumstance
before be left the chapel.

CONFIRMATION OF THE PRINCESS

VICTORIA.

(From the Brighton Gazelle.)
The following extract from the familiar letter of a lady of
rank to her sister in this county, with the sight of which we
have been favoured, contains so interesting an account of the
recent confirmation of a Princess, upon whom the nation's
hopes are at present fixed, that its insertion, we feel persuaded,
will afford much gratification to our readers .
" I witnessed a beautiful touching scene the day before yes-
terday at the Chapel Royal—the confirmation of the Princess
Victoria by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Nobody was pre-
sent but the Royal Family, and such Peers and Peeresses as
took their places. It was a most touching scene, the beautiful,
pathetic, and parental exhortation of the Archbishop on the
duties she was called upon to fulfil, the great responsibility
that her high station placed her in, the struggle she must pre-
pare for between the allurements of the world and the dictates
and claims of justice and religion, the necessity of her looking
up to her Maker for counsel in all the trying scenes that awaited
her, &c. She knelt before the altar, being led up by the
King; her mother stood on one side of her, sobbing aloud, as
did the Queen and all the ladies. The old King wept fre-
quently, nodding his head at the impressive parts ; the little
thing herself drowned in tears and frightened to dath. The
ceremony over, the King led her up to kiss the Queen and the
royal ladies present. Her hat was taken off, and she Wore a
beautiful lace dress over satin. They were all in white satin
pelisses, hats, and white feathers. We were more pleased with
the old King than we ever had been, he showed so much feeling
and attention."
[What a pity it is if a " lady of rank" has mixed up with
her description of a ceremony so solemn, an account of milli-
nery matters—a sobbing Queen and satin—a nodding King
and white feathers to match I We hope that for " lady of
rank" we may be permitted to read " lady's maid to a lady of
rank."] 4rmesomfdaisromwo
