RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

(From the Railway Magazine of Saturday.)

The following calculation of the last weekly returns of 44
railways, 1,636 miles in length, given in our present number,
will, we believe, be of interest :—Number of passengers on 28
railways, 362,436. The receipts for passengers on 44 railways,
482,4877; ditto for goods on 42 railways, 425,502; total,
4108,329. This is an average of 463} per mile per week. The
receipts for the corresponding period of last year ou 1,573
miles were 4102,368, or at the rate of 465 per mile per week.

STATE PIINISTIMENTS.—The late Sir Francis Burdett
was condemned to six months' imprisonment and a fine
of £2,000, for writing a letter to his constituents upon the
Manchester massacre, as it was called. Henry Hunt, for
agitating in the cause of radical reform, was imprisoned
for two years and a half ; Sir C. Wolseley, for a like of-
fence one year and a half; and Cobbett, for writing an
article on flogging by German soldiers, passed two years
in Newgate, and paid a fine of £l,OOO, besides being bound
in securities for seven years in the sum of £5,000. The
notorious Carlile was sentenced to three years' imprison-
ment, and fines, amounting to £1,500 for publishing his
blasphemous writings ; and Leigh Hunt had two years' im-
prisonment, and a fine of £l,OOO, for a libel on the Prince
Regent. Talk of the severity of the Irish demagogues
punishment.

A COUNTERFEIT FRESHMAN.—A very interesting--
looking person, habited at all points like an undergra-
duate, was brought before the magistrates on Thursday,
charged with creating a disturbance. So attractive was-
the appearance of this handsome gownsman, that hun-
dreds of men, women, and children followed him in
his perigrinations the previous evening. The anxiety of
the populace at length became so troublesome that the po-
lice interfered, and invited the youth to the station-house.
Their guest created an inexplicable commotion amongst
officers and men ; there was a mystery not to be unra-
velled, until at length a sigh burst from a gentleman in
blue, and the truth was told. No man, but a lovely woman
was under their protection. They invited the lady incog.
to make that house her home for the night, and they
would introduce her to the magistrates of the town in the
morning. Her name was found to be Hester Sale; she
had been induced to act this counterfeit character by some
ladies in Barnwell. With an intimation that the repeti-
tion of her frolic might lead her to the treadmill, she was
discharged.—Cambridge Chronicle.
DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Yesterday week a destructive
fire took place at Waterbreach, Cambridgeshire. The
following articles were destroyed :—two stacks of beauti-
ful wheat, containing between 70 and 80 coombs each.
About the same moment the conflagration reached a barn,
which, with its contents, amounting to 70 coombs of
wheat, 400 bushels of chaff, five dozen sacks, shovels,
and rakes, was speedily consumed. Adjoining this build-
ing were two stables and chaff-houses, a waggon lodge,
an open horse lodge, hen house, and carpenter's shop, the
destructi ,n of which speedily followed,—also about eleven
scores of hurdles. A large cart, and threshing-machine
and dressing-machine were likewise partially injured.
Immediately contiguous to the stack-yard was a cottage,
then a large tenement, together with a barn, stable, cow-
lodge, and shed, which were soon in flames and as quickly
burnt to the ground. Then came another double tene-
ment, which together with an outhouse or two speedily
shared the same fate. A reward of £2OO has been offered
for the apprehension of the party who fired the premises;
as the destruction is confidently said to be the work of an.
incendiary.
SCALE OF SUGAR DUTIES.—Mr. John Gladstone has
published a letter on the sugar duties, addressed to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which he suggests the
following scale of duties :—" Could the protecting duty on
foreign swear be altered to 12s. instead of 10s., it would
be highly desirable, as beneficial to the British, and that
can be well afforded by the foreign grower; but if fixed,
as proposed, at 10s. and 5 per cent., I would venture to
recommend reducing the duty on British muscovados to
215., and on foreign to 31s. 6d., and restore the former
duty on British clayeds of 55., giving facilities to the
planters to enable them to procure a sufficient increase of
labourers to enable them to make them, and add in pro-
portion a ra'eable duty on foreign clayeds of 7s. 6d., which
would make the whole on British clayeds 265., on foreign
395. This would be a fair, consistent, and just, straight-
forward measure, based on your own principles, and even-
tually will not be attended with injury to the revenue ;
but if determined to increase it by maintaining the present
and proposed duties, the principle would be the same.
I In Bengal, and even in Demerara, sugars, though not in
large quantities, are now clayed ; such a measure would
encourage the British planter, when supplied with labour,
to extend and return to that system again. I am, there-
fore, led to hope. that the disposition now shown by the
government to aid them in doing so from both India and
Africa, will practically confer an important benefit rather
than inflict an injury. The poor planters might then be
enabled to look forward with the hope of again seeing
better times before them ; so that those colonies which
were so long considered by our ancestors to be invalua-
ble, and in their preservation so much blood and treasure
has been spent, may still be preserved to the mother
country with advantage to all."
' GOLD COIN AND BULLION.—It appears from a par-
liamentary return that during the first five months of
the present year, the amounts of gold coin and gold bul-
lion held by the Bank of England were respectively as
follows : January 6, £6,574,000., and £6,848,000. ,
February 3, £6,239,000. and £7,613,000. ; parch 2;
, £6,309,000., and £8,029,000. ; March 30, X 6,790,000.;
and £7,608,000. ; April 27, £6,190,000., and £7,638,000;
t and May 25, £6,170,000., and £7,764,000. In 1843, the
amount of gold coin fluctuated between £4,120,000 and
X 5,621,000., and the quantity of gold bullion between
£5,247,000 and £6,048,000. Of the gold bullion sent by
the Bank of England to the Mint to be coined since the
passing of the act 4 and 5 Victoria, cap 50., the weight
was 71,7181b5., and the value £3,351,049., whilst the
average length of time which elapsed between the send-
ing of the bullion to the Mint and its return in coin was
thirty days. The total quantity of bullion in the coffers
of the bank, on the 4th of November last, amounted to
£12,036,000., of which £5,992,000 was in gold bullion,
£4,244.000 in gold coin, £1,737,000, in silver bullion,
and £63,000 in silver coin. The total number of bank
notes in circulation on the Ist of November, 1844, (dated
prior to the Ist of November, 1839,) amounted to 72,266,
and the value represented thereby to £908,855. Of
these 72,266 notes, 39,065 were for £5. each, 23,356 for
£lO each, 5,552 for £2O. each, 676 for £3O. each, 420 for
£4O. each, 2,015 for £5O. each, 871 for £lOO. each, 67 for
£2oo' each. 12 for £3OO. each, 210 for £5OO. each, and
22 for £l,OOO. each. No bonus has ever been divided to
the proprietors of the Bank of England notes lost or
destroyed. Between the 4th of March. 1843, and the sth
of January, 1814, a total amount of £695,578. was ex-
cluded from the returns of notes in circulation, (as lost
or destroyed,) of which the sum of £426,321 was repre-
seated by notes of £5. and upwards, and £269,257 by
notes of £l. and £2. The total amount of notes which
the directors estimate as lost from the establishment of
the Bank from the year 1694 to the sth of January, 1844,
is £507,279. All the notes comprised in this total have
been outstanding for more than thirty years. The ad-
ditional sum of £188,299., which makes up the total of
£695,578. mentioned above as excluded from the returns,
has been outstanding for more than fifteen yeirs, and is
