RAILWAY AFFAIRS.
_._

CALEDONIAN.—There is now every reason to expect
that the line will be opened to Edinburgh in the begin-
ning of December.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—A private in-
spection, by the Directors, which may be called an open-
ing of 45 miles of this line,—from Chester to Conway,—
was to take place, and, we believe, did, on the 14th inst.
A PRODIGY.—WC understand that a new company for
carrying out a railway line between Lincoln and Grantham
has been started, and that a survey has been effected
during the last fortnight.—Stamford paper.
OLDHAM EXTENSION RAILWAY.—The new line of
railway from the present Oldham station to the new sta-
tion at Mumps, Greenacres Moor, is to be opened in the
course of a few days for passenger traffic.
During the present money pressure, would it be too
much to ask of the different railway companies to issue
quarterly dividends? It would let a deal of money loose,
and be of great service, at the present moment, to a hard-
up public.
A lady suggests, through the Railway Chronicle, that
railway carriages should be fitted with tin tubes, so con-
structed as to be joined together by flexible india-rubber
tubes, uml to open upon the seat OCCUplea by the guard,
who could thus be communicated with by every passenger
in the train, and the precise ground of alarm or cause of
danger stated.
From official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3.152 miles of
railway, was £207,905 ; thus accounted for :—z100,932
for the conveyance of passengers only ; £52,506 for the
carriage of goods; and a remainder, of £46,167, for pas-
sengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ;
being an increase of £32,792 over the corresponding week
of last year, when the mileage was about 2,525.
CURIOUS WAY OF INCREASING TRAFFIC.—We heard
the other day of an instance of traffic increased, we might
almost say created, by increased facilities, which bears
strongly on the judicious extension of the railway system.
The celebrated Bianconi, of Ireland, put one car on a cer-
tain road, and it failed to pay. It was, of course, thought,
after a sufficient trial, that he would take it off. Not so,
however ; he put on two, and still success was wanting.
He then put on four, where neither one nor two would
pay, and, behold, they filled and paid ! and, if we remem-
ber the information rightly, the same road has now twenty
cars driving a profitable business.—Railway Magazine.
CONTINENTAL RAILWAY LAW— A SEVERE SEN-
TENCE.—A rich farmer of Valdbye (Denmark), named
Steernerson, has just been tried at Copenhagen, for
having attempted, by displaying a red pocket-handker-
,chief at the end of a stick, to stop a train running on the
railway from Copenhagen to Rothschield. He acknow-
ledged that he had displayed the signal as stated, but
affirmed that he did so in consequence of a wager en-
tered into by him, after a copious breakfast, well sea-
soned with wine, that he should succeed in stopping the
first train that appeared. Knowing that to display a red
flag signified danger, he had displayed his handkerchief,
as mentioned in the indictment. The court, finding him
guilty, sentenced him to 10 years' hard labour in a house
of correction, being the penalty laid down iin the Danish
law against any attempt to stop a railway train, or impede
its passage. Steernerson has appealed against this severe
pentence.

SUSPENSION OF RAILWAY WORKS.—The directors of
the North Staffordshire Railway Company have given
orders to their agtWts in Staffordshire not to pay any pur-
chase money for /and, &c. until they are absolutely obliged
to do so. The Brighton company have given direction to
their parliamentary solicitors to suspend for the present
all operations which may involve expense.
FATALITY.—Thomas Seed, a labourer, in the employ
of the Electric Telegraph Company, met with his death on
Monday, whilst at work on the Liverpool and Manchester
Section of the London and North Western Railway, a
short distance from the Barton Moss Station. The de-
ceased was appointed to paint the posts which support the
wires of the electric telegraph on this line, and while pass-
ing from one post to another, carrying his ladder and paint
can, he stopped to look at the special train which passed
him at the time, about 300 yards from the Barton Station.
He was off the line, and as he supposed out of danger,
but the passenger train which arrives at Manchester about
half-past ten, just then came up on the other line unob-
served by the deceased, and at that moment when it
reached the spot, he stepped on to the line in front of it.
So suddenly did the train come upon him, that he was
knocked down instantaneously by the engine, and being
thus thrown forward in front of the train, the whole of
the carriages passed over him, killing him instantaneously.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A serious casualty occurred on
Monday, about mid-day, on the Lancaster and Carlisle
line, close to the Milnthorp station, about seven miles
from Kendal. A luggage train from the south was stand-
ing at the station on the down line, when a train laden
with cattle, drawn by two engines, came up at a rapid
rate, and before warning could be given, ran into the lug-
gage train, throwing over and smashing the engine, and
forcing it some yards off the line. One of the engines of
the cattle train was also very much damaged, and the
stoker so seriously injured that he died shortly after. Three
other men connected with the trains were severely, but it
is thought not fatally, hurt ! 14 of the bullocks were killed
upon the spot, and lay among the ruins of the trucks in a
dreadfully mangled condition. The line presented a sad
spectacle, and was completely obstructed for some hours.
It is said that this luggage train was not in its proper place
at the time of the collision, but ought to have been
"shunted" so that the line would have been clear. The
passenger train from the south came up to the spot imme-
diately after the accident. Had it arrived a very short
time before, the most serious consequences might have en-
sued. It was said that this affair would cost the company
at least £2,000. _ _

A deputation from the Liverpool, Manchester, and
Newcastle-upon-Tyne Junction Railway Company, con-
sisting of Thomas Row,Wilsun France, W. A. S. Westoby,
Thomas Broadbent, Francis Billam, and Alexander G.
Gray, directors, with Mr. Wilson the secretary, and
Messrs. Edward Bennett and Parson, solicitors to the
company, had an interview with the commissioners of
railways at Whitehall, on Wednesday. The deputation
stated that they had either to make calls, or suffer their
Act to expire. The latter alternative would not only in-
volve the loss of all the money that had been expended
in obtaining the Act, and in making the necessary sur-
veys, &c. ; but in all probability, the loss of the whole of
what remains of the deposits, inasmuch as there were en-
gagements which the Directors could and would be com-
pelled to complete, whether they went on or not. The
deputation, to meet the difficulties with which Companies
in their situation were beset, suggested, that Government,
early in the next Session of Parliament, should introduce
some general Bill, entitling Companies who are desirous
of awaiting a more favourable period for the prosecution
of their works, to an extension of time for the purchase of
land and the completion of the lines ; they suggested that
the general Act might contain powers to extend this time
for a period not greater than five years and provide that
the Company should be obliged to give notice to the
landowners of their intention of applying for such exten-
sion of time.
DEPRESSION IN RAILWAY SHARES.—Of the few rail-
ways that did last year fall off in dividend, we believe it
was from dividing upon a larger capital than had been
brought into play, through some crotchet of shareholders
at former meetings. It was rarely, if ever, on diminished
receipts on the trunk lines per se. Take a few examples
of the present prices of shares, compared with what they
were. The London and North Western, at about £145,
which were currently sold at £252, in 1845 ; the South
Western, at £53, which, after a very great fall, were
thought cheap at £75, having been at £B4; the Brighton,
at £3B, which have been at £BO ; the Dover, which have
been at'£49 or £5O, selling at £29 ; the Eastern Counties,
at £24, now fetching £l6. With the exception of the
North-Western, which, like the Liverpool and Manchester
of old, has, for a while, sunk from 10 to 9 per cent.
dividend, all those lines are paying higher dividends ; and
some of them, as the Dover, much higher. What reason,
then, can there be, in these excessive differences of price?
if the prices of '45 were too high, every one must admit
that the prices of '47 are much too tow. We are among
those who think that railways ought, generally, to pay 5
to 6 per cent. ; though the stability and prospects of some
would justify 4to 5 as sufficient. Be, however, the par
what it may, no one can say that the North-Western,
paying above 6 per cent., is not a much better investment
than the Consols, paying under 31. What is there to
justify such a difference ? The one is a solid, substantial
freehold ; the other a mere phantom. It is true we are
all linked together to pay the interest of the Consols, but
it is paying the interest for a shadow, the substance of
which has disappeared in smoke, and leaden and iron
balls. Though we may be considered all mutually pledged
to pay the interest on Consols, it depends for accomplish-
ment nearly as much on the trade of the country as
the dividends of railways do. Were our trade and
resources seriously to diminish, the Government would be
under the necessity of applying the sponge, not, indeed,
to the substance, for that could not be found, but to the
figures representing it, or else borrow more to pay the
interest of the present.--Railway Magazine.
RAILWAYS AND DUST CONTRACTORS.—The recent
contracts entered into by the various metropolitan parishes,
for the sale of dust and refuse, disclose a state of affairs in
the building trades which will be found strangely at
variance with the ideas usually entertained of the unnatural
activity induced by railway works. Towards the autumn
of last year such was the competition amongst the con-
tractors for dust, that the offers were in many instances
tripled in amount ; and, even with this enormous increase
in the cost of a portion of the material, the consumption
of bricks went on so rapidly, that at the close of the win-
ter it appeared 150,000,000 had been entered for duty
within the Excise district of London alone. Dust or
" breeze" went up to 14s. per chaldron, and with the
prospect of an increasing demand for several years to come.
The stoppage, however, of so many railway acts in their
passage through Parliament, together with the present
financial difficulties, has caused such a stagnation in trade,
that at this moment dust is unsaleable at 3s. 6d. per chal-
dron, and there is hardly a contractor or brickmaker who
has not lost heavily by his recent engagements. The con-
tracts madefor the present year with the various district
boards offer a sad contrast with those which have just ex-
pired. The trustees of the Lambeth Improvement Act
have sold the refuse of that extensive parish, which last
year brought £1,112 10s., for £3l 10s., and have remitted
the contractor 25 per cent., or £278, on the last contract.
In the eastern division of Southwark, the local trust,
which last year received £3lO, is now compelled to pay
the contractor £3OO for the removal of the dust, making
a difference of £6lO to the inhabitants. The south mid-
dle district of the city pays £lOO instead of receiving as
before £950, a difference of £1,050 to the ratepayers. St.
Luke's, Old-street, is in precisely the same condition, and
the contractor has applied for an allowance upon the
amount of the last bond. The parish of St. Giles, Blooms-
bury, has suffered most severely, the difference between

amount due upon it ; and, of course, as in all instances,
the sums so received by the various boards are applied in
mitigation of the parish burdens, it follows that in the
six cases enumerated an addition of £6,000 will be made
to the local taxation. " At this moment the market for
ashes is wholly at a stand-still ; and so much does the
supply already exceed the demand, that it is computed
that at the close of the present season there will be enough
on hand to make 300,000,000 of bricks, sufficient to meet
the ordinary wants of builders for years to come.—Sun-
day paper.

in order to thu post, and got off well at the first signal,
the dropping of the flag in advance being answered by
the new starting telegraph, which was placed conspicu-

to the spectators. Cawroush jumped off with the lead,
followed by Ulysses, next to whom were Geraldine, Gi-

order through the ditch, Ulysses keeping his place until
nearly a quarter of a mile on the flat ; he then fell back,
and Giselle became second, Geraldine following her.
The race continued in this order to the end, Cawroush,
without ever being caught, winning cleverly by a length,
Giselle beating Geraldine by nearly two lengths. Cos-

GOOD DOG !—A MATTER OF FACT.—A sportsman all
the Ellesmere road was bragging of his dog to his shoot.-
ing companion, when soon afterwards the dog stood at 0
couple of bricks near a bridge. He was whipt away "frog
the rats," when his master, on reflection, said the dogs
no doubt, pointed them because they were a brace. Re.,:
MP
turning soon after on the same ground the dog made
point a second time; they kicked up the bricks, which,
covered a small hole, which, on being explored, contained
four brace of birds, the store-room or larder of sow
neighbouring poacher. The dog received due praise, and
his master said he would back him to point a poacher--'

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
A meeting of the Anti-Gold Law. League was held st
Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, on Wednesday evening,
which was attended by about 200 persons.
Mr. Bennock, the President of the League, in taking
the chair, after alluding to the numerous failures, wile;
orders were large, labour abundant, and food cheap, asked
why should we place all our commerce upon gold. We
should have no circulating medium which had a tendencl
to become secretal or hoarded. What would be the effect
of such a system upon the body physical ? The pre:
sent distress did not arise from the want of property, but
from the want of circulation. It was not over-productions
for many were but half fed and half clad. The apathy
_.,el
the mercantile body on the subject of the currency
most deplorable. It was not want of sympathy on th?,-
part of the mercantile body, but an apprehension that
they stirred just now, they might be supposed to be
in embarrassed circumstances. According to the cairn-
lation in Allison's History of Europe, our circulation wee
now £20,000,0000 under what our population required.
Mr. J. Duncan denied that increasing the currenci
would depreciate the value of the legal tender. The per'
perty classes in whose behalf the national debt had been
so swelled up, instead of paying their quota to the reduc-
tion, repealed the property-tax enacted for that purpoSed
on the ground that it was a war tax, whilst the war d
still remained. The consequence was a great derange...eV
in monetary matters, and as it would take ten per cent. in
property to pay the war tax which had been contracted,
those who purchased £lOO in the funds were only pro-
prietors to the amount of £9O. The speaker then went
into numerous calculations to show that Huskisson and
other economists were all at fault in thinking that the
bank had over-traded, and urged that the Government wag
unwise in stopping the railway works, and throwing
2,400,000 people on the poor-rates, by refusing to free the
circulation from its present restrictions. People seemedto
think we could do nothing without gold. Why, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and Aberdeen were built with paper ; the Clyde
was rendered navigable by paper. (Laughter and
cheers.) Give Ireland the same opportunity by a proper
money system, raise the price of labour to a remuneratint
point, and give a stimulus to industry, and Paddy would,
prove quite equal to John Bull. (Hear.) The proposal
of the League would justly tax absenteeism ; for he wha
now drew all his dividends in gold would have to tat;
them in paper pounds, and if one of these pounds would
only purchase four-fifths of the quantity of gold in

Mr. J. Bull argued, that if the principle of restrictieri
were carried out to the full extent, and gold were held to
be the only capital, all the gold in Great Britain wog°
only suffice for the payment of the taxes, and the busing
of the community would be brought to a stand still. The
proposal of the League would not rob the creditor; but
creditors must bear their fair share of national taxatios*

as the one proposed, to prevent the land going out of Cu'
