Total steel track. .

During the year IS ,53e ties and 1873. $40 feet
OF other timber have been kyanized at our
Portsmouth works. at q cost of about 1912 per
1000 feet. 1t is believed the process will mate
rally add to the life of the material and even
tually lead to large reduction In itam of ex-
pense of ties and other exposed timber.
Ii has been the policy of the management to
devoting special attention to the local and sub
urban business, by giving the public increased
accommodations in both the number and speed
of passenger trains and in now equipment Of
cars and locomotives.
The figures appended may serve to indicate
the satisfactory result of this policy, as shown,
by the increase of traffic and earnings.
The miles run by passenger rains have in
creased from 1904 ,616 in 1879 to 1853 704 in
1882 an increase of % per cent whereas
the number of passengers carried has increased
46 per cent; and the passenger earnings have
increased from 81 .451 ,857 in 187S79 70 81 $685.
S56 in 1882, a gain of $452, 1893, or 81 per
cent.
The freight traffic has also largely increased,
the earnings Of the past year being $4e5 .651 in
excess of those of 1889, gain Of Al per
cent.
The heavy outlay for expenses necessitated
by this increased traffic has been more than
provided for by the earnings, and the net earn
ings of 1882 show gain OF nearly IL per
cent. as compared with those Of 1878-79
The improvement in the financial condition
of the company Ia also marked one, as may
be seen by reference to the general balance
sheet OF Sept. 30, 1882. The immediate cash
assets, exclusive of investments, ETC., are $780,
081.54; the current floating debt for traffic BAL
ances, accrued interest, etc., is $728, Cos. SO,
making net cash asset of SOL ,471.69.

LONDON, Eng, Sept. ), 'S2

LONDON, Eng, Sept. ), 49,
London has become kind of social
Sahara, Since last Sunday week. when
roaring mob surged through the quiet,
grey precincts of Westminster, and the
Scots guards babe us good bye, Clubland
and Mayfair look deserted. Half the
good fellows one knows are absent. and
the addresses of men who usually would
be away in the country just now are con-
tracted into one syllable-'Gypt. Life in
London this autumn, however, will not be
he gloomy exile which has generally
signaized the days during which the
country side is turning TO golden russell
and velvety brown. Lady Lonsdale has
set the fashion of remaining in the CAPT
tal; and her house with mum erous others
may commence Il new social era, an era
in which the dull months from October to
February will be changed to warm rooms
and still warmer welcomes. And as q
matter of fact, social custom in this way
demands a change. Just when the fields
are looking at their worst. when the
hedges are dripping horrors, and the
roads are sloppy nuisance, people leave
town, exchanging the comforts of civili-
cation for barbaric horrors, and if society
stepped in the country at the time it now
comes up TO town, and stayed in town
during the months it goes down into the
country, everybody would be gamer.
And Cetewayo has arrived at last, and
it is said that it is the earnest desire of the
government that he should not DO lionzed.
In that case Cotewayo should not have
been brought TO England, for it is most
certain that he will be made the lion OF
the season if he appears much in public,
as of course the Zulu monarch will. The
bulk OF the English people rejoice in hav-
ing popular pet, and they care little
whether 1t is Jumbo Or Catewayo. The
Zulu king appears to have been greatly
surprised and pleased with his first sight OF
England, and he has repeatedly expressed
the hope that he will be permitted to have
an interview with the queen. We believe
that has been arranged. Cntewayo has
already put aside some Of tho habits and
customs of hululand, and he will make
his appearance before the English public
in the simple costume of everyday life
which he adopts with great readiness
Catewayo will visit the house of commons
on Monday next. 1t is said that on Ger
tain public occasions when CatewayC
appears he will be attended in tho uniform
of British general. If this be 50, We
shall expect to hear Il protest from the
entire British army, for the suggestion is
n supremacy ridiculous one and by no
means calculated to add to the dignity of
British uniforms.
