RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

EAST ANGLIAN RAILWAY.—An influential meeting was
held at Great Yarmouth, on Tuesday, when resolutions were
passed in favour of a line through Cambridge to London.
The Leeds and Manchester Railway was expected to be
opened to Normanton on Monday next ' • but some defects
have been just discovered in the Summit Tunnel, the repara-
tion of which' may possibly delay the opening for two or three
days.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—There is a curious fact
which shows the extraordinary resources of this line. It ap-
pears by the tenth report of the London and Birmingham
Railway, for August, 1838, that the receipts for three summer
months on 77 miles of railway, exclusive of the coaching for
the 35 miles then unfinished, between Rugby and Denbigh
Hall, were £41,322 Ils 9d ; the total income 'of which line
since it has been completed, has risen to about £BOO,OOO per
annum. In the Great Western, with about the same inter-
vening gap, say 30 miles of unfinished line, the receipts for
three winter months, November, December, and January,
have exceeded £64,000. If, therefore, any conclusions can
be drawn from these. data, of what the Great Western will
do when finished, in comparison to what the Birmingham
now does, we may fairly infer that for 8 per cent. the latter
pays, the Great Western will pay from 12 to 14.

'1 he Eastern Counties' Railway Company it; actively en-
gaged in manufacturing bricks in the Town Field, Chelms-
ford, which presents an immense quantity of material for the
work. A long row of huts or cottages have been erected on
one side of the field, as dwellings for the brick makers.—
Essex. Standard.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—War and dis-
cord appear to be threatening this line. A long and strong
letter has been published by Mr. Robert Caddell, who, with
his friends, holds a fifteenth of the capital of the Company,
to Mr. Leadbetter, the chairman, recommending the finish-
ing of the trunk line before any new branches are undertaken,
deprecating any new application to parliament, or any new
call on the shareholders, until to money authorised to be
borrowed is obtained, complaining of want of unanimity at
the board, and in no equivocal terms condemning the late con-
duct of the chairman, and threatening legal and parliamentary
opposition to his proposed measures.—Railway Magaziue.
