The shareholders of the Pernambuco Railway
have been much gratified by finding that the French
mail, just in from Pernambuco, has brought them
the welcome intelligence of the company's petition
for an increase of the guarantee having been
granted by the government. The informa-
tion was conveyed to the directors in the
shape of an official letter from his Excellency Senor
Sinimbn to the company's manager, of the date of
24th July, a certified translation of which the
directors immediately forwarded to the Secretary
of the Stock Exchange, where it is publicly posted
up. The extension promised is upon the amount
that should be found upon the czainination of the
accounts to have been fairly expended in the con-
struction of the railway, provided it shall not
exceed the amount guaranteed to the Bahia Rail-
way. This concession is, however, to be subject
to conditions, which there is no doubt will be only such
as are fair and reasonable. The public journals of
Brazil also communicate the satisfactory intelligence
that upwards of 10 miles of the fourth and last
section of the line has been officially inspected by
the president of the province and other official
authorities, with the intention of being immediately
opened for traffic. The remaining portion of the
section is in active progress, and the whole line is
expected to be completely open to the Una before
Christmas.

the public was respouded to in the most satisfac-
tory manner, more than double the whole number
of shares constituting the guaranteed preference
capital of the company having been applied for
within one week of the publication of the pro-
spectus, and more than one-third of the whole
amount of such capital having been already paid."
