Third-Class Sleepers.

The intimation that the three railway companies at Home have decided to introduce third-class sleeping accommodation on their systems will meet with the unqualified approval of long-distance travellers. The London, Midland and Scottish, the London and North-Eastern, and the Great Western Railways are the three companies which have taken this step, and the important experiment will be watched with interest.

The subject of fares has, of course, still to be decided, but they will be adjusted, no doubt, on the present first-class fare level.
