SATURDAY, OCT. 8. CSTTAIN DOI:ULM! °ALTON'S Report en the Railways of the United Kingdom for 1836, although exhibiting an smcont of railway enterprise below the go of many years, is, as usual, an interestiag and instructive document. The length of hoe authorised by Aot of Parliament last year was cioly 32t , miles, and the amount of money authorised to be raised for railway purposes only 6,800,0001., the average of the last six years being 616 males and 9,400,0001. The lines authorised in England mid Wales ware chiefly extension' of existing railways, or short lines which, whoa opened, will form feeders of existing railways. Down to the close of 1838 the Legislature bed seactirmed altogether the construction of no less than 16,660 miles of railway, but of these 1,610 were subseqesotly abandoned. Of the remaining 14,049 mike, 9,606 were actually open at the end of last Deotenher,and 4,643 are yet andeished. Should the whole of these be constructed there will he in England and W►iss just 10,106 miles; in Scotland 1,880, and in Ireland 2,063; but it is wen than pro- bable that oat of the above 14,049 some 2,700 miles will never be made, because from lapse of time the powers for the esmpulsory purehme of the requisite lead ham bees allowed to empire. The amount of mosey actually raised for railway purposes in the United Kingdom to the sad 41868 wee 326,300,0001., sad the amber of penes, employed ea the lines made with this mosey, to preserve the property and make It productive, was 109,329, or astsrly 12 proses per mils. The 325,000,0001. raised for the mastruction of railways represesta as expenditure of no lees them 34,2431. a mile. This amermeas avenge is governed by the inordinate outlay of earlier years —as, for ex ample, the year 1846, is which sets were obtained authorising the oosetrection of 4,600 miles of line. and the raising 0132,000,0001. In 1848 t►e length authorised wee tmly 371 ; in 18.50 is wee only eight miles. TM mettles told on railway expenditure, and the railways nide in the United King dom sines that time have met on an average 10,6001. per mile. The proportion which receipts upon railways beer to the capital invested in the hoses slowly misearliag, as is also the rate of divi dead ea ordinary abate 'spite/ la 1649 the latter was 1.88 ; in 1664, 3.311 i sad is 11166, 3.06 per coat It reached 3.801 a 1667. If railway proprietors traded with only their owa eamosy the set ressipts on railways are of an amount to give these 3.76 per cent. intense on the whole capital invested. Bet 44 per mat. of the whole capital invested in railways is advanced by way of loses or on preference shares, sod the pre portion i. het increasing. In 1849 the ordinary cap ; tal bore to the whole capital the proportion of 69 per cent. ; in 1868 It was bat 66 per cent. The preference and loam capital has accordingly grown from a pro- portion of 31 to 44 percent. in the interval. The inertias of loan capital is not great, haring been 22 at the begioning mid 33 at the close of this period, while the preference capital, which was 9 per cent. of the whole in 1849, was 19 in 1868. The interest payable en this rapidly increasing deseriptioa of capital preys epee the dividend of the ordinary shareholder by its rate as well as it. grass amount, being 4.63 per mat. per MONS ell 111111 and referee's eapital, admin e so we lave sem. the interest es ordiaery capital by .40 per cent. Captain GALION malls attentioe to • provision ■ow almost invariably required by Parliament in railway hills, that which restricts holdout of preference shares to the protlts of a limited period for the permeate( their dividend, and points out its tendency ter aggravate the terms to which railway companies raising money on preference shares will have to submit, and also to increase the difficalty of disposing of preference stock. It may vicar to an In vestor that each a restriction places it ia the power of the directors so to adjust the time of payments of outgoings chargeable to revenue, inch as the renewal of en pensive works or plant, keels by accidents, and the like, as occasionally to subject the holders of preferential shares so restricted to abatement from their dividend, to the subsequent advantage of the ordinary shareholders. If the option were left the directors of issuing the shares with or without the restriction, still ander the obligation to insert it in their certificates when adopted, both the company and the preference shareholder would stand upon a fair tooting, and the directors would have what they ought to have—power to raise money upon the cheapest terms. The only advantage for the sake of which it could be desirable to make the restrictive compulsory is entire uniformity of character it all shares comprehended under a common designation. But this cannot be secured, since there are already 60,000,0004 of preferential capital in existence which neither is subject, non can be subjected, to the restriction. 139,193,000 peseengers were owned by railway in the United Kingdom laat year, paying 10,376,0001. in Them The inereses in the number of the travelling public, as compared with the precious year, is insig nificant, being only 18.1,000. In former years the increase has often been six and eight millions: in 1862 it was thirteen millions. Looking over the records of the hut ten 'ears we find that the propor tion of first and third clam travelling is increasing, while that of second•e:ass travelling is diminishing. Of the 139,000,000 passengers carried in 1838, 13.13 per ant. were eseveyed in first-clime carriages, at an average fare of 2.0 W. per mile ; 29.93 per tont. ie eecourielase carriages, at 1.161. per mile; sad 66.80 per cent. in third-clam eariiagas. at .88d. per mile. In 1149 the first-claa pu►engers con stituted 11.42 per cent.; the second•ciate pimento% 36.84 per cent.; and the third clam pasougers, 31.6111 per cent. of the whole number carried. Gaptain WILTON, referring to the suggestions which are mole frost time to time for extending Government supervision to railways with a view to the safety of the passengers, adduces the regulations imposed on Railway Companies in France by the Government, and observes that interference by the Government is scarcely possible, unless it be carried throughout the whole sy►tem.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AUBTSIA. Th. Archduke Matinsllan and the Archdneaesa Charlotte have arrived at Vienna from There. A Vienna letter says:—" It may be remembered that daring the late war, when the treasury was exhausted and altogether unable to supply the largest wants of the army, the Emperor Francis Joseph was compelled to make an appal to the tax-payers, and accordingly decreid, on the 13th of May, a very considerable increase on all the direct taxes throughout the empire; but that aug mentation was to be limited to the duration of the war in Italy. It was therefore expected that, after the peace of Vdlafranca, the taxes would be reduced to their normal state. That hope, it now appears, will not be realised, for a tew decree hu jest ap peared, prolonging the increased rate of direct taxes to the let November, 1860. The additional burden thus imposed on the tax-payers amounts to one half on the land-tax, one sixth en the other direct taxes generally, and one fifth on the income-tax; lastly, it is directed that one fifth shall be deducted from the half-yearly payments of the interest of the na tional debt." THE DUCHIES. The Minister of Finance of Tuscany has issued an order to al: the public offices of the State, direct ing them to send all the old Tuscan money in their possession to the mint at Florence, to be re-coined. The Monitore of Bologna also oontains a decree of the Governor-General of Romagna enacting that the franc or Italian lira shall henceforth be the unit of currency, and ordering the re-coinage of ell the present mosey. Meanwhile the wade is to be calculated at the rate of Mr. 321. The Indipendente of Turin states that Prince Eugene of Carignan will probably be intrusted with the government of Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and Romagna in the name of the King of Sardinia until the congress shall hay, decided the question of their future condition. THE FATAL DIBTURBANCR AT PARMA. PARIS, Fatom The following telegram, dated Oct. 6, haa been received here from Parma: A horrible occurrence took place yesterd,iy even ing. The Count Anviti, formerly colonel of the troops of Parma, and held in detestation by the people, was passing through Parma on his way to Piacenza, but was recognised at the railway station and arrested. The populace, informed of his arrest, broke open the barracks of the gendarmerie where he was confined, and having seised the unfortunate count, he was dragged through the city, receiving blows on all sides. His hands were fastened together with a cord, and he was thus pulled through the streets until he arrived opposite a calk that he was in the habit of frequenting, where, whilst he was still alive, his head was cut oft; and then carried in triumph to the Grand Place, where it was placed on the top of a column. The cries of joy of the popu lace increased the terrors of the situation. The nationsl guard and the troops were called out, but arrived when all was over. At 9 o'clock in the evening quiet again reigned in the city, and the dead body of Count Anviti was conveyed to the hoe pital. The city was being traversed by patrols." BOLOGNA, OCT. 7.

On Sunday the principal friends of Piedmont gave a banquet to the Sardinian minister near Framed, and intended to make a night demonstration in Rome. It is stated this was prevented by General Ociyon, in accordance with a previous order passed forbidding any political manifestations in the streets. and also in accordance with the policy which the Duke de Orsament is instructed to continue.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MORI ova owx ItXT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENINO. The murder of Count Auviti by the mob of Parma is a most lamentable circumstance, not only in itself but because of the great handle which will be made of it by the anti-Italian party in Europe. This one act of Lynch law will be cited by the Austrians, the Jesuits, and the supporters of the Dukes as condo lice evidence that the Italians are not fit far self government. It will be assimilated to the murder of Count Rossi in Rome, and will be called the natural fruit of " the" revolution. It is just such an act as the "party of order" wanted at the pre sent juncture, when the cause of Italian nationality was, to all appearance, going on so well. Indeed, so apropos does the event come, that I think it not uncharitable to suggest the propriety of sus pending a definitive judgment until it be well ascertained that the parties who alone could benefit by the outrage had no hand in its perpetration. At all events the irreproachable conduct daring the last four mouths that they have been left to themselves of the inhabitants of Tuscany, Modena, Romagna, and PUMA itself, is not to be made light of and forgotten on account of one outbreak in the capital of the latter duchy. We do not yet know the whole circumstances. The entire aspect of telegraphic news, however homogeneous it may seem, is frequently changed when the whole story comes out in detail. This much appears, that the murdered man was most unpopular, and as he was a close ally of the late detestable duke, pro bably deservedly so. lie appears to have been travelling clandestinely, and in all likelihood the exasperated populace thought he was work iog for the restoration of their oppressors. It is much to be hoped, however, that the present national government of Puma will be strong enough to inflict condigu punishment upon the ring leaders of this mob-law assassination, whoever they may be. The Patrie has already received a private letter containing details which differ in some respects from the telegram. A rumour had foe some time been current in Parma that the partisans of the deposed government were conspiring to effect • restoration. On Oct. 6 Colonel Anviti arrived by railway from Bologna in disguise. He had been the president of many special courts-martial, and was notorious for his extreme severity. His known attachment to the fallen dynasty, hie former bloody 'functions, his disguise, and the fact that he had not been in Parma for five years, having been sent away by the govern ment after the death of the Duke Charles, becalm, it was feared that his presence would lead to a rising, leave no doubt that he came as an emissary of the pretender, and as an enemy of the people. For some time after his arrival he evaded observa tion, but he was ultimately recognised and mobbed i• the streets. Several citizens, seeing the danger he ran, endeavoueed to save him. But the troops were unfortunately in their quarters in the citadel, a mile off. He was not arrested by authority, as the telegram states,but took refuge of his own accord iaa guard-house held by only three or fear soldiers. The populism broke open the door, dragged the count out, and put him to death. The Petrie, while expressing the utmost horror for the savage act, exonerates the Parmese government from all com plicity in it, and doubts not that it will set with rigour against the g•ilty parties. A telegram from Pull, published by the Nord of Brussels, states that the meeting of • congress either at Paris or Brussels is certain. According to the best opinions here, this confident assertion is not founded upon any new information. That great efforts are being made to bring about • congress is certain, but 1 believe nothing is yet definitively settled. The Zurich tionterence most get its business done first. The importance of the article of the Constittaionnel ienow Toy generally admitted. The Debate, the Univers, the Back, and the Union, all cite it oon spicoossly. Curiously enough it continue' to be ignored by the Pays, the Petrie, and the Press.. I have, however, additional reasons for repeating with even greater emphasis than I did yesterday that the article comes from the very highest au thority. There are still reports that the coming congress is to restore the Dukes, but I cannot believe it. The undeviating confidence in the Emperor Napoleon's intentions manifested at Turin, the known differences between M. de Grammout and the Court of Rome, the howling. of the French bishop. and the absence of any of their manifestations in the Moniteur, the presence of Lord Cowley at Biarritz, concurrently with the appearance of the article of the Constitutionnel, the warning to a provincial journal for speaking disrespectfully of Victor Emmanuel, and many other symptoms, all tend to show th►t the Emperor has wisely resolved to let things take their course without truckling either to Austria or the Pope. It is stated that the orders for muskets and pistols lately sent to Lyons and Bt. Etienne from Italy cannot be executed, the exportation of arms from France being prohibited unless with the mows consent of the Minister of War. I presume therefore that the French government considers it politic to refuse its consent in the present instance. I hear, however, while I am writing, that forty cages of arms have actually been expedited to the Duchies from St. Etienne within the list few days. Where is the truth ! It is rumoured that when King Leopold left Biarritz he told the officers of his household that he had some reason to expect a visit from the Emperor Napoleon at Brussels. The Petrie states a fact which will probably be news to you, that the Marquis of Clanricarde and Mr. Layard, whose names appear in the lint of recent arrivals in Florence, have a mission from the Eng lish government to inquire into the state of Central Italy, and that their report will be presented to par liament at the opening of the session. The Bourse was dull. A rise of about 100. in the middle of the day was subsequently effaced, and the closing prices were G9fr. 55c. for cub, and 89fr. 45c. for account, being in the one case a rise of 6c., and a fall of sc. in the other. The speculators for the rise are thought to have overbought themselves considerably within the last week. Mobilise fell Ife. 25c. The Orleans Railway fell 12fr. 60c.; Western, Bfr. 25c.; Lyons, 3fr. 75:.; and the other lines about 2fr. 60c. The news of the massacre of Colonel Anviti at Puma h►d a depressing influence upon the market in the afternoon. Prince Napoleon has returned to Paris from his exatusion to swim-dead. Prince Jerrme, accompanied by the Pri oress Clothddir, took carriage rimiest on Thursday for the flat time since hie return to the Palate Royal. "It is stated," says the Patric, " that • speeial mega fe to be shortly formed fur as sapeditlon to China. It will be composed of 15,000 men, divided Into Ave regiments, and will bs recruited among each anon, and soldiers as may volunteer fie. the service.

According to Washington advice. he st►ted that General Harney was instigated to occupy Ban Juan by Boundary Commissioner Campbell, who asserted that the American title was unquestionable. Harney, in a reply to Governor Douglas's protest, intimated that he landed his troops for the purpose of protecting American citizens from the insults and indignities of the British authorities of Vanconrcr's Island and the Hudson's Bsy Company, who had seized an American citizen and forcibly transported him to Vancouver for trial. By the arrival at New York of the Moses Taylor, with the California mails of the bth of September and 2,000,000 in specie, we have advice' from Van couver to the 27th of August. Governor Douglas had replied to Harney's note alluded to above, denying absolutely that there had been any outrage upon an American citizen. The Governor's letter, which is a very temperate one, calls upon Harney to withdraw his troops, whose presence on the island was likely to complicate affairs. There is no further intelligence from San Juan. The cricket match between the Canadians and the English eleven bad resulted in favour of the latter. . ..

Fitri,—To you, who have given so many proofs of attachment to the cause of Italy, I address myself, to request the insertion in your excellent journal of the accompanying appeal to the Italians resident in England. Accept, for what you have done and continue to do in support of the Italian cause, my grateful acknow ledgments and those of my compatriota.—l am, &c., G. F. AVEBANI. 3, Vernon-place, Bloomsbury-square, W.C., Oct. 6. Italians ! A subscription has been opened for the purchase of a million muskets as an offering to Central Italy. General Garibaldi hoe headed the subscription with 6,000 franc*. One of the lists for the collection of subscrip tions has been confided to me, as will be seen below, and I have deposited it with Messrs. L. beren► and Co., 147, adenhall-street, who have undertaken to receive the contributions. All Italians should subscribe, whether rich or poor. Those who have neither gold nor silver can at least give their pence. Not one Italian resident in England should fail to respond to this appeal. London, Oct. 6. List No. 21, confided to the Baron Aves►ni, 3, Vernon-place, Bloomsbury-square, London. " National subscription, initiated by General Gari baldi for the parches, of a million muskets u an offering to Central Italy. "According to the ambiguous language of nutner ems and conflicting official journals, the fate of Cen tral Italy is still undecided. Hope and fear, confi dence and suspicion alternate with incredible rapidity, and daily augment the uncertainty that prevails in weak and timid minds. But for those who feel that they are true Italians, who regard only the welfare of our most sacred land, the fate of Cen tral Italy has long been decided. " It is her will to be free, to unite with the brave Savoyard chief in fighting the battleof independence, and hasten the day when liberty shall cover the whole of this peninsula, hitherto enslaved under a thousand tyrannise. Central Italy has entered upon a path in which it is impossible to pause or to return. She must proceed with undaunted energy straight to the goal, without being diverted for a moment from the cue object. If any uncertainty remains, it is with respect to the means best adapted to accom plish the end in view. Shall we obtain without a straggle, without bloodshed, the fulfilment of our wishes, or must we conquer with the sword the accursed obstacles raised by tyranny? No one is yet able to say ; but as the latter alternative is possible, it ought to find us prepared and resolute to sustain with arms our firm resolve. Universal sympathy is with us—the will of the people is unanimous and plain ; there can be no excuse ; if we fall, we fall by our own fault. Every son of Italy should become a soldier, ready to give his life for his country. Italy must arm her children, and collect beneath her banner her valiant but scattered bands. Whatever be the issue, an appeal to arms cannot render our condition worse. Feeble and antiquated diplomacy, though it may bewilder the weak and inexpert, must give way before the bold front of a patriotic and devoted army. " Arm, then, arm r is the cry of all who have Italian independ ence at heart. To provide weapons for the Central Italians, General Garibaldi, the hope and strength of Italy, has this day set on foot a national subacrip tiou, and headed it with 3,000?., for the purchase of a ;million muskets. Numbers were ready to imitate the generous example, and many more will follow in their steps. Italians! You, who cannot be yourselves soldiers, do all that lies in your power to make others so. Let those who cannot give their blood give gold. The Cartha ginian women cut off their hair to furnish ropes for the machines of war in defence of the walls of their city. Italians must be liberal of what they possess, in order to secure better days for their suffering land. History will one day, in a glorious page, record these sacrificer; and the tree of liberty, watered by so many teen, and so much blood, will extend a grateful shade over our native laud, and render the future sweet to us and to our children. " The list. when filled up, must be sent as soon as possible to Mr. Ferrigni, secretary to General Gari baldi, at the general quarters of the 11th Italian Division."
