RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT NORTHERN.—This company's branch line
from ilitchin to Royston, about 13 miles in length,
will be opened for public traffic on Monday next. It
is intended to run three trains each way on week
days, and one train each way on Sundays, between
London and Royston. The remaining distance from
Royston to Cambridge, about 14 miles, will be per-
formed by coaches, running in connexion with the
trains. There will, therefore, be some competition
with the Eastern Counties Company for the Cam-
bridge traffic, which will have the effect of increasing
the receipts of the Great Northern Company, and pro •
bably to some extent decreasing those of toe Eastern
Counties Company.
GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE.—It is ex-
pected that the remaining portion of this line will be
opened to Carlisle for public traffic early next week.
The Government officer is to inspect it to-day. Oa
the opening of this line fur public traffic, the amalga-
mation of this company, with the GlasgOw, Paisley,
and Ayr Company will be completed, and the united
companies will in future assume the name of the Glas-
gow and South-Western Company. It is believed
that the opening of the above line fur traffic will have
the effect of reducing to some extent the traffic on the
Caledonian Railway, by competing with it for the
through traffic between Carlisle and Glasgow.
NORTH-WESTERN ♦ND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNC..
TION.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of South-
ampton was held at the Town-hall on Thursday, the
Mayor presiding, to take into consideration a pro.
jetted line of railway, 31 miles in length, intended
to connect the London and South-Western Railway
at Brentford with the London and North-Western
Railway at Willesden, thus effecting a junction of
nearly the whole of the narrow gauge lines, and
opening to Southampton an unbroken chain of com-
munication with all the manufacturing, producing,
and mineral parts of the country. Resolutions were
passed supporting the objects of the promoters of this
enterprise, which, it is asserted, can be carried out at
the trifling cost of 50,000/. The construction of the
proposed railway, it was stated, would lessen very
materially the high rates of conveyance at present
charged upon goods for export from the manufactur-
ing districts, by doing away with the necessity of
merchandise being sent through London, where, on its
transit from one railway terminus to another, heavy
charges for cartage, lighterage, &c., are now necessarily
incurred.

THE SOUTH-EASTMAN RAILWAY TERMINUS.—
A large number of workmen are now engaged in
constructing this company's railway station at Lon-
don-bridge, for the better accommodation of their
Kentish and continental traffic. It consists of a
large covered-in platform, between 700 and 800
feet in length, by between 100 and 200 in breadth.
The truss principals supporting the roof are 100
feet span. There will be waiting-rooms, booking•
offices, managers' and secretaries' department, and in
two months the structure will bo completed.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]
MESSRS. HARDING and Co., 81, Pall-mall, beg to
intimate to the public that, in consequence of the rebuilding
of their premises, it has become imperative on them to
dispose of the whole of their valuable Steck, which they,
have determined to offer for immediate Sale, at a very con-
siderable reduction of price. Messrs. 11. and Co. offer to tbs
public the assurance that the Sale thus announced is bona
fide. Their entire Stock, consisting of Silks, Ribbons, Lace,
Embroidery, Shawls, Scarves. 4 loaks, Mantles, Gloves, and
the recherché Selection of Millinery, f,r all of which their
establi,hment is so eminently distinguished, will be unre-
servedly subjected to the reduction. The Sale commenced
yesterday, the 10th October, to be continued for a limited
period.
FIRE AT TRANENT.--OR Tuesday morning, about
five o'clock, a fire was discovered in a stable and outhouses
belonging to Mr. Pendrich, High-street, Tranent. A mes-
senger was immediately sent on horseback to Musselburgh
for the fire-engine stationed there, which speedily arrived
with the fire-brigade, under •• the superintendence of Mr.
Smith, surveyor, whose exertions soon got it under, there
being a plentiful supply of water at hand. The fire is said to
have originated from carelessness on the part of a boy leaving
a candle near the wall. By the well-directed exertions of
Mr. Smith and the men under him, all the live stock was
saved excepting a fine horse and about three dozen of poultry.
A quantity of harness and stabla-furniture was also deatroyed.
