,lallvrays have not yet as a:system been constructed in Switzer-
eend (the only existing line being one of 14 miles, connecting Baden
With Zurich), but this has not arisen from the country offering any
I,l,ious engineering difficulties, nor from indifference to their adva.n-
14g,s, nor from the traffic being insufficient to guarantee an ade-
quate return for the outlay, but:from the fact that railways have
eelY recently been introduced into the great States surrounding
Witzerland, and the attention of capitalists was naturally first
attracted by the more important lines in those countries connecting
the Capitals of Europe. The large operations for constructing these
international lines being in au advanced state, approaching to com-
pletion, the attention of the Federal Government of Switzerland was
anxiously turned to the subject; and, by its direction, Mr. Robert
Stephenson, the eminent English engineer, after a careful survey,
reported upon certain lines of railway; which he recommended as
the most easy and practicable in that country.
The first of these tines, commencing at liomes and Lane:eine, on
the Lake of Geneva, and terminating at Yverdon, on the Lake of
Neufchatel, it is the object of the present Company to construct.
This is the most important section ofthesystem ; not °rip as the
Sole possible line of traffic between this Lakes, bat as the main
rratwo
line of railway communication from . nee a...d Sardinia into the
heart of Switzerland by Geneva.
The population of the Swiss valleys generally is computed at
2,..,300 persons per square league as contrasted with 2,210 persons in
England, and 1,450 in Franco ; but the particular district traversed
by the proposed Railway mast contain many more than anof this average,
and
for besides the inhabitants of the important
v
Lausanne, there are no less townsthan6B, andvillages

To complete th elsyetem recommend—./3Y Mr It• Stephenson's report,
the other cantons, through which thalines pass, will grant conees.
51°1,- They will together embrace a continuous Railway and Lake
communication from Geneva to Lake Constance, and from Lucerne
to
(Sale. The object of the Company, for tho present, is limited to
the section from Merges and LAUSNFEtIe to yverdon, so Important
cc‘inimercially, so much frequented by tourists, the first link of the
Germany
of Railways connecting Italy and the South of France with
and the North of Europe through Switzerland.
The estimate is based on that made by Mr. Stephenson. The line
Passes through an easy country, and will be made according to the
surveys and reports before-mentioned. A responsible
engaged, by a contract signed in Switzerland, to purchase the
Land, construct the works, erect the se ations, and supply the rolling
_Stock and has likewise b Auld himself to the English directors, to
ntractor

vay interest on capital during construction, at the rate of 4 per cent.
Per annum, as well as the preliminary and all other expenses; the
Whole of these outlays to to within the limits of the capital. The
contractor has also engaged to deliver the line complete, ready fur
trete,, within eighteen months.
. The concession is for 99 years, with the right of further extension
to this
Company, and is granted on most advantageous terms. The
Cantonal Government reserves the right to purchase the Railway, at
rho end of eo years, upon a two years' previous notice, at the market
;ice of the day, with a bonus thereon of 10 per cent. The traffic in
_ rengers and goods has Men carefully ascertained from authentic
r° turns and data, obtained by the Swiss Government. After a care-
;in calculation of the present traffic, deducting 50 per cent. for work-
",Y
.expenses, the result promises a very satisfactory profit on the
ea
Responsible parties have offered to lease the line for 21
year., at a rental of 5 per cent. on the capital, dividing the surplus
