THE FAST-DAY.—Thursday being the half-yearly
nmtcaonlyivepyearnscomuls., aTs huesduaayi, being exceedingly
fine, the town was almost deserted. A large proportion availed
themselves of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and in the
evening the terminus at Haymarket was surrounded by an im-
mense crowd. According to the Glasgow Herald, the five
o'clock train from Queen-street (the Glasgow terminus) was
so densely crowded that it had to be taken up the incline in two
divisions, and when it departed only a single carriage remained
in the railway yard; a circumstance which, we believe, has
not occurred since the opening. of the line." We understand
the number booked at the. Edinburgh station was 1,729, of
which 717 went to Glasgow. Almost the whole passengers
returned in the evening. The aggregate number travelling
along the line to and from the different stations is calculated to
have been upwards of 4,000. On the Dalkeith Railway there
were the immense number of 6,661 passengers, being nearly
700 beyond any sirrillar day. The steam-boats to different
parts in the Frith, and the various stage-coaches, were al.°
crowded beyond all former precedent. The only accidents we
have heard of were that of a man falling out of one of the
coaches on the Glasgow Railway, and that of another having
got his foot struck by one of the coaches on the Dalkeith line ;
but neither of then were seriously injured.—Edinburyth Paper,
