BAILWAYB IN ITALY.

We aresnabled to furnish some additional imposts' t
particulars with retinue to Unmet sadertaking now
as the past of being introduced into the owlets of
Europe, under the designation of the Lombardo-
Venetian and Central of Italy Railways. As wee
stated in the Express of the 9th fast., the capital
of the Lombardo-Venetian lines ia to be 8,000,0004
sterling, in 300,000 shares of 201. each. Upon this
the Austrian government grants a guarantee for the
whole period of the concession of 90 yean of 6 2-10tbe
per mat. per annum, foe interest and sinking fend
on the whole of the pressot or any future capital ex-
pended. This Lombardo-Venetian conesoden n-
aiades the following railways, which have been con-
structed by the state, and which, with all their
rolling stock, buildings, workshops, &c., are sow
ceded to the company—viz., the lies from Venice
to Cocceglio; from Milan to Como; from Milan
to Tretriglio; from Verona to Mantua; from Mane
to Cessna; and from Coccaglio to Bergamo. Them
lines represent a total length of 437 kilometres.
Possession of tines railways is to be taken by the
company any time before the Ist of January, 1867,
and they are to be worked on account of the compare)
from the let of May, 1868. The following new rail-
ways, comprising an additional length of 366 kilo-
metres, are to be constructed by the company, viz.:
from Bergamo to Monza; Bergamo to Lecco; Milan
to Buffaloes Milan to Piacenza and Pavia; Milan
to Sento Calends; the railway encircling the pit of
Milan ; Mantua to Borgoforte ; and Cessna to Ns.
broiler- The state further concedes the free use of
the line from Nebresina to Trieste, • distance of 17
kilometre', with a right of joint use of the station at
Trieste. The capital of the Central Italian Conces-
sloe is fixed at 3,800,0001. in bonds or obligations,
with a guarantee for the whole period of the conces-
sion of 90 years of 280,0001. per annum, for interest and
sinking fund, from the governments of Austria, Rome,
Tuscany, Modems. and Parma. The Austrian go-
vernment assumes the undivided responsibility of
this guarantee as regards the company. This central
Italian concession comprise' the Centepl Italian Rail-
way of 280 kilometres, forming a continuation of the
Lombardo Venetian Railway from Piacenza and
Borgoforte via Parma, Reggio, and Modena, to
Bologna, and thence across the Apennines to Putojs,
where it joins the Tuscan railways to Florence and
Leghorn. The Austrian government gives, morn-
over, as a subvention to the company, half the Bost
of the bridge over the Po at Piacenza. The entire
system of the company wUI thus consist of 464 kilo-
metres of existing railway, and of 836 kilometres of
new railway. Theaummary of the aggregate sys-
tem will stand thus—let. A main trunk Use, tra-
versing the north of Italy from east to west,
commeneing by a junction with the Austrian
railways at Trieste, passing through Udine,
Treviso, Venice, Padua, Vicenza, Verona, Bree-
ds, Bergamo, and Milan, and terminating by
junction with the Pisdmostese Railways common'•
eating with Genoa and Turin. Secondly, •• main
trunk line, traversing (antral and sorthern Italy
from earth to south, connecting the Roman and
Tuscan states, Parma, Modena, Lombardy, and
Venice with one another and with the main routes of

oommunioation with Francs, Switzerland, the Tyrol,
and Germany. As the Austrian government is cos-
@trading a line from Veroaa to Berzeo, in the Tyrol,
it is anticipated that by means of a line through the
Brenner Pam of the Alps to Inuprack, a few years
will witness an unbroken railway communisation be
twee° Central Oartuthy and Italy. The company is
to have the peeferenos for taking any other new
railways is the district. The price to be paid to the
government foe the 454 kilos. ceded to the company
is 2,333,3301., of which 668,8001. is to bi paid in
three maths after taking posesedoe, and
the rest in flth annual instalments of, my
333,3301. each. The company also agrees to pay
one million sterling out of half the net profits exceed-
ing 7 per omit on the entire capital after the end of
the above term. The whole of the payments are to
be without any interest This price is calculated to
be equivalent to about 4.4001. per kilo., or 7,0001. per
mile, and 1,0001. per kilo., or 1,6001. per mile addi-
tional, contingent cm the railways earning moth than
7 per met. The price paid by the FreachAsstrien
Railway Company for the state lime of Rusgary and
Bohemia was 6,8001. per kilo. Ausempt the other
privileges an five years' marks from income tax

shall have been mined ea the entire capital, and a
power of perchses after thirty years, at a rent equal
to the avenge annual earningeol the five best of the
last IMO years. The sum required in the first five
years is estimated at 2,000,0001., sad for this pupae
a power is given to raise the amount which may be
required for the development of the traffic to the
extent of 3,000,0004 by the issue of obligations of
6 2-10ths per cent. The pant:tee of
260,0001. upon the Central Italian espies', being
equal to more than 7 par mat., will enable the com-
pany' to raise the whole capital by obligations fps-
elan/ devoted to the easetraotion of the Central
Italian line. In the avast of this hitter line pro-

the surplus will go to increase the dividends
on the company's share capital. For the 300,000
shares of 201. each, mastless to bearer are to be
given on payment of Si. per share. The obliga-
tions to be baited are 160,000 in number, of the no.
minal moose of 600 f., or 201. each, and reimbursable
at that rate is annual series foe 90 years, each oblige-
lion bearing 16f. (say 125.) per salaam interest, pay-
able half-yearly. Thoth bonds are to be issued at
2701. (say 10 4 51.), with interest tram the let of
May next. No further call on the shares will be re-
quired for 12 months, and very probably not foe
18 months, or longer. One obligation will be allotted
with every two shares. The deposit of 70f. per bond
is to be paid on allotment; 100 f. on the Ist July, and
1001. on the Ist of Oct. next. Interest op _ the whole
270 f. will accrue from the Ist of May. The
interest and dividends will be payable at
Vienna, Milan, Paris, and Landon. Large sub-
scriptions have already been received from
influential parties throughout the Coatinest. The
statutes authorise the formation of an Anglo-Freneli
Committee of the Administration, the seat of which
will be in Paris. The concessionsithe are as follows:
In Austria, the Credit Bank, represented by Prince
Schwarezenbarg, Count Zichy, and Baron Aussie: de
Rothschild; in France, Messrs. Rothschild Brothers,
Messrs. E. Blount and Co., and M. P. Talabot ; iz
Italy, the Duke de Genius, the Duke de Melsi, Count
Archnti, and Pietro Beatoggi; and in England,
Baron Lionel de Rothschild, M.P., Mr. Samuel
Laing, M.P., and Mr. Matthew Uzielli. In many
respects this is the most important foreign railway
undertaking that ha been announced for years peat.
The shares were quoted this afternoon 61 to 7g prem.
Another new undertaking was brought forward
yesterday, under the title of the Italian Junction Rail-
ways. 'I he object proposed is the onion of the whole
system of French, German, and Swiss Railways with
those of Piedmont and Italy, bthe Valley of the
Railway Rhone. The Italian Junction is to start
from the Lake of Geneva, and proceed by the Valley
of the Rhos* sad the Simples to Amos, when it
will strike the great trunk line of Piedmont comma.
cleating with Genoa. The first section, from the
Lake of Geneva to Sion and Bragg, is about 70 miles
is length. A concession in perpetuity has been ob-
tained, and the works are to he completed for a sum
not exceeding 13,0001. per mile. The approaching
completion of the railways from_Lyons to 0 ,
from Berne to GODIIa, and from Dole and Salute to
Lumen% ea well as the progressive opening of the
Central Italian and Lombardia Rose, is referred to
as increasing the prospect of a reasonerative traffic.
The constractioa and working of the line is to be
placed under the management of directors connected
with the leading French railways. The government
takes shares in the company for all the land and
wood required. During construction, 5 per that.
interest is to be paid on the capital called up. Tne
capital is fixed at one million sterling, in 101. shares,
" to bearer," upon which the deposit is to be 41. The
