RAILWAY DITELLIGEACE:

YORK AND LONDON 'RAIL:A/AV.—lt was announced
on Thursday that the directors of the Wakefield, Lincoln
and Boston Railway have' united with the London and
York Direct Railava/.
BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.—The first
half-yearly meeting of this company since the completion
of the line was held on Wednesday. A. dividend of
41 7s. 6d. was declared.

GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND GREENOCK RAILWAY.—
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Wednesday. The receipts, with last half• year's balance,
amounted to £23,177, and the expenditure to £11,572. A
dividend of ss. on the £25 shares, and 2s. 6d. on the
£l2 10s., or half-shares. was declared. The goods traffic
has greatly increased.

The Brighton and Chichester proprietors have agreed
to allow the Brighton Company to take the unappropriated
shares of their undertaking, on the option of leasing the
line wken it is completed, at 41 per cent. The directors
have experienced great opposition from the landowners
on the road, and in the case of the Duke of Norfolk com-
pensation to the amount of £42,000 is to be paid.
DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.—The Dublin and
Drogheda Railroad Company. at the half-yearly meeting,
announced an increase of £6,000 on the value of their
stock. Sir J. M'Neill stated that Dublin station would
be finished in October. Receipts of the company from

The meeting of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway was
for the purpose of issuing £30,000 debentures at 4 per
cent to pay off the loan received from the Commissioners
of Public Works on account of the Dalkey branch, which
loan bears interest at the rate of 5 per cent. It was stated
on this occasion that the receipts from the Ist of March
to the 26th of August were this year £28,662, or £4,000
in excess of the amount received at the same period last
year. The revenue of the line steadily increases, and the
Dalkey branch, which is remunerative, is regarded as an
important feeder to the general line. It was suggested in
the course of the proceedings to extend the Dalkey line to
Bray, every confidence being expressed in the economical
working and good order of the atmospheric principle.

PROJECTED RAILWAYS.—The directors of the :Midland
Railway have given notice that early in the month of Oc-
tober a special general meeting of the stockholders in that
company will be held, for the purpose of sanctioning an
application to parliament for powe. s to make the follow-
ing lines of railway :-1. From Nottingham to Newark
and Lincoln. 2. From Swinton to Doncaster, Bawtry,
Gainsborough, Lincoln, Boston, Spalding, and Wisbeach,
joining the Eastern Counties Railway at March, by means
of which the communication will be continued to Ely,
Cambridge, Norwich and Yarmouth. It is the intention
of the ork and North Midland Railway Company to
make a branch from their line at Burton Salmon to Don-
caster in connexion with this line. 3. From Syston and
Oakbam, Stamford and Peterborough.
RAILWAY EXCURSIONS.—Cheap excursion trains con-
tinue to form an important feature of railway traffic—a
new proof of the public usefulness of railways—a new
element in their own revenue—a valuable addition to the
recreations, amusements, and moral culture of the English
people. The Dover excursion trains did not for the first
two weeks meet with adequate success, but the directors
persevered, and now their Saturday trains, not returning
up till Monday night, are crowded with passengers, who
can thus spend part of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in
France, going and returning from London at a single fare:
The number of excursion tickets issued for the six excur-
sions, from the 27th of July to the Ist of September in-
clusive, was 45,532, being an average of 7000 each excur-
sion ; the last excursion consisted of 14,000 persons.—
Railway Chronicle.
LONDON AND CROYDEN RAILWAY.—The half-yearly '
meeting of the above company was held, on Thursday
last, in London. The report, which was adopted by the
meeting, stated, that, " the accounts present an increase
of the receipts upon Croyden traffic, as compared with
the corresponding half-year, of £2,500; upon the toll of
th. Brighton Company of £1,200; and upon the toll of
the Dover Company of £2,300; and, although the ex-
penses have slightly increased and the dividend is payable
upon 7,000 new shares, now first participating, the sum
divisible for that purpose will admit an increase, as com-
pared with the corresponding half-year, of twenty-five
per cent." The directors recommended, therefore, that
a dividend of 5s upon 40,000 shares be declared, free of
income-tax. In answer to a question, the chairman said
an estimate had been made of the toll that would be taken
by it from

nine o'clock, after the arrival of the York train at the
Sheffield station on the North Midland line, the engine,
as usual, was detached from the train—and having been
on the turn-table, was on the point of proceeding to the
engine-house, when a railway inspector, named Russell,
attempted to cuss just in front of the engine, by which
he was knocked down, and his body was found in a few
minutes nearly severed in two below the shoulders.
