B AIL WAY ACCOMMODATION.

We hear with much pleasure that the South-Western
Company have arranged to carry passengers between'
the Nine Etme and Waterloo Stations for one penal.
This is designed with the special object of accommodating
the large body of skilled artisans employed on this (the
London) side ; thus aft.ir.iing the opportunity of ester
ing the crowned streets, to the erjoyinejit of purer sir
and cheap rents. We . understand thafihe people ein-
ployed iu several large establishments, as Clowes's print"
ing-office, in Duke-street, and Maucitley's in the West-
minster-road, have availed themselves of this eon"'
nienee, which, indeed, was designed.for.their accommo•
dation. Such fares are, however, confined to traine
running into Waterloo by eight o'clock in the morning,
and at half-past eight in the evening. The relief tie
family men must be very great. .
A similar movement is, we are informed, on foot on
the Easterh amnties, between Stratford and Shoreditebt
but whether in operation or not we are not offlually in.
formed. Great advantage mu-t result from such arrange'
merits to the popu:a.tion, and with very trifling trouble
to the company.—Railway Record. .
