TO THR EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—My attention was the other day arrested by a ea-;
ment in The Sun of the 28th ult, regarding the Manehesteo
and Birmingham Railway. I have cut out of the paper, arl
attach hereto, the article alluded to. It says :
" We are informed that no railway in the country eshibita
so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and Birrniagi
ham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as compare
with the corresponding period of last year, are as follows
1845. 1844.
Week ending August 8 £4,453 £3,035
Ditto 15
I have referred to the official returns, and find that the al/
quoted returns are incorrect. The receipts Bth August,lB44
should be 3,6351., and the receipts 15th August, 1844, shot
be 3,5321. This gives an increase on the first quoted wee"
at the rate (dropping fractions) of 23 per cent., and on the
second week about 19 per cent.
Allow me, by way of contrast, and for the information oar
your informant, and through him the public, to direct his ati
their attention to another, as yet comparatively little ILE.°o
railway—l mean the Preston and Wyre—leading to the flourish'
ing port of Fleetwood. It is only 19 miles long, and the Ma
chester and Birmingham is 31, or nearly double the length'
The receipts of the Preston and Wyre for the last month hat''
been as follow, and I defy your informant to point out another
railway in the kingdom where the increase has been go great _

Mr. George Robins's beautiful Marine "Villa, which
t
faces the Duke of Devonshire's (and luckily has a south-oe,,s,t
aspect instead of an easterly wind to contend witir), is to be .I,:e
on lease, unfurnished, but we happen to know that within i'd
last few days he was heard to say he would furnish it splendid
or moderately (as it might be required), but not for ale sr
period than three or five years. He would not like to let it it'd
a season, and then find all the gold taken off the giwyertnet:
and this would be the case if it is to be furnished, as he is u'op
sirous to do. The four or eight stalls and double co ach-hottf:
at the rear is an advantage that very few at Kerap Town °-

boast of.—Brighton Herald.
