Assurediy with this advantage in distance,
our city ought TO reap material advantages in
the way of reduced tariff upon provisions, fuel
&c, from the West a. well a. from the reduced
passenger fare. The distance to the Point OF
Rocks Is not only reduced - miles by the new
road. but on the completion of the extension TO
Chicago, the distance from that city to Wash
ington will he reduced to 7sf miles, against 81
miles between Chicago and Baltimore.
THE BUSINESS OPENING OF THE ROAD.
The time fixed for the opening of the Metro
politan road for business is the 18th inst, and
the officers are now busy preparing the sched-
ules. The tariff of fare is not definitely set
tied, but it will probably be about cents per
mile, or about the rate on the Wash: ngton
branch. There will be one or two local trains
run per day from Washington, and the three
through western trains per day TO and from
Baltimore will he run via Washington and the
Metropolitan road, as, though the distance by
this city is little more, better speed can BE-
made In consequence of avoiding the heavy
grades and short turns of the Patapsco. The
latter route will be given up to freight and local
business On the completion of the Gathers
burg and Laurel cutoff, the Baltimore passen-
ger trains west win, of course, make use of that
shorter line, and not come by the way of Wash
