LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAlLWAY.—Notwith-
standing the reduction altogether of 25 per cent. in the pas-
senger fares, and as much in their good charges, the last
week's traffic is 2001. over the corresponding week of last
year. This is pretty forcible evidence of the results of low
fares and quick ,trains, combined with a skilful adaptation of
them to the public wants. We have given it in one week,
but if carried over the year it will exceed 140,000/. per annum.
