Yesterday the Bloomfield Station was opened for passenger traffic. At the new station, which is a short distance from the Connswater Bridge, there is erected a handsome station-house, with station-master's apartments, waiting-rooms, &c. The station-house is not yet completed, but when finished it will be neatly furnished. The platform at present is about 300 feet in length, but it is intended to extend it further.
