TIIE TRANSIT BET WEBN LIVERPOOL
4Ifl) MAATCHES TER.

For some considerable time past con.wlaints have
Caen loud and numerous as to the difficulty e,xpe-
ijkneed in transferring heavy goods, particulai-ly
cotton, from Liverpool to 3 liAnchester with sufficiect
rapidity to answer the requirements of manufac-4
tuters in that city and its vicinity, whilst com-
plaints ,similar in character have been equally fre-
quent as to the delays in transmitting manufactured
goods from that neighbourhood for shipment at
, Liverpool. To obviate these grounds of grievance
the different railway companies have made great
exertions to increase their available means of con-
veyance, and the carriers by canal have also exerted
themselves to attain the same end. In the midst.of
those exertions, however, the efforts of both were
in a great measure paralysed by the recent severe
and protracted frost. It is true the traffic; on the
railways was not stopped by that cause, but that
by canal' was entirely suspended, thus throwing an
inordinate as well as unexpected amount of demand.
upon the traffic resources of the railways. To such.
an extent was this true that the goods stations
were completely gutted with the influx of heavy
goods, chiefly cotton, and still heavily loaded teams
continued to pour in ceaseless streams towards the
respective stations, although from the extent to
which they were filled it was impossible to admit
the vehicles within their yards. So true was this
that on Tuesday and Wednesday last long ranges
of heavily laden floats and lorries stood along
Great Howard-street, and other thoroughfares lead-
ing to the principal railway stations, for many hours
together, in vain expectation of getting their loads
admitted within the station-yards. The loss of
time, and consequently of money, entailed by this
detention of men, horses, and vehicles has caused
loud complaints; On Monday a meeting of team-
owners was held, at which it was resolved
tb at loads intended for the railway stations or canal
wharves would be refused unless the sum of eigh-
teenpence per hour was allowed for each vehicle
while it was so detained, and public intimation of
this determination, signed by 48 of the principal
;warn° vvners in Liverpool, has been extensively poste d.
all over the town. On Wednesday a meeting,.
which was attended by the heads of the commercial
associations, was held in the Mayor's Chamber at
the Town-hall, the Mayor presiding. At this meet-
ing resolutions were adopted calling on the different
associations to represent to the various railway
companies the necessity of doing all isitheir power
to facilitate the transit of goods; and so request-
ing that the commercial associations of Manchester
and the adjoining towns will co-operate with those
of Liverpool in urging the rail way companies to
afford additional facilities for the ,extensive and still
rapidly increasing goods traffic between Liverpool
and the inland towns.
