The line of railway extending from Cockermouth to the
sea port town of Workington, was opened on Tuesday
last, for the conveyance of passengers and general traffic.
The line passes through a beautiful and fertile range of
country, watered by the river Derwent, and lovely valleys
and hilly slopes attract the eye on either side. It is eight
miles in length, and there are two regular stations upon
it, at Camerton and Brigham.
RAILWAY RETURNS.—From official returns it appears
that the amount of traffic for tha last week, on upwards of
2,730 miles of railway, was £161,735, thus accounted for:
£84,223 for the conveyance of passengers only, £42,083
for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of £35,432 for
passengers and goods together, not respectively appor-
tioned; being an increase of £22,748 over the correspond-
ing week of last year, when the mileage was about 1,990.
LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRIC, AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—
A number of men have, for the last three or four weeks,
been employed upon the portion of the above line which
runs through Rufford, raising the embankments. On
Monday they struck work, some for wages, and all finding
fault with the pay-days, which the sub-contractors wished
to be only once a month. Most of them, however, were
induced to commence work again on Tuesday.
THE SOUTH EASTERN AND BRIGHTON MID-KENT
RAILWAY SCHEMES.—The Commitiee of the House of
Commons, appointed to try the merits of these schemes,
has concluded its labours. The chairman, Mr. W. 0.
Stanley, delivered the decision of the committee. It was
in favour of the S suth-Eastern North Kent Continuation
to Canterbury and the South-Eastern Mid-Kent Lines.
The committee rejected the proposed new Croydon line.
The Brighton lines are all rejected.
THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A
special train, consisting of five carriages, was taken from
London to Birmingham on Wednesday morning, in two
hours and thirty minutes. The actual time of travelling
did not exceed two hours, being an average speed of 56
miles per hour, the train being stopped four times on the
journey to allow other trains to get clear of the line, be-
