An extension of the railway system from Ilanhi„,'-ost
through the mainland of Denmark, to the northertlrtio
part of that kingdom has long been planned, • art' .0.
terms on which the first section of the line is to be 1.4
troduced are now published. This section is to °°l:B,lct
of 69 miles. which will constitute the most inll3°ri.

part of the whole work. At present there is a line ":8.,
Hamburgh through Holstein to the frontier of Schles, :I of
and the 69 miles proposed will comprise an extenel°)o
the communication through Schleswig to the 1:0
port of Flensburgh—a distance of about thirty"
miles—and a junction line of about thirty-four °lv
to the port of Tonning, on the German Ocean. ° p

dangerous navigation will be saved in the passage 1-0
London to St. Petersburgh, Stockholm, Dantzici a a
Stettin, as well as to Copenhagen, Elsinore, r.
all the other ports of the Danish islands, and the a
rangements in conjunction with the North of °l.°Porl
Steam Company will enable the Baltic to be reac-1, f,b
in about 32 hours, Copenhagen in 48, and Hainbac,7r
in 36. With regard to the probable results of the en- )

influence on commerce will in every respect be g
more important, a higher and men rapidly
rate of return is relied upon. ' The calculation 13,f the
promoters as to the revenue immediately to be obta'n-io
from all sources amounts to 10 or 12 per cent. ; bu
order to reduce the position of the shareholders to c-rs,
tainty, an arrangement has been made by the contract° to
Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, to lease the line fra:, ro
the date of opening for 14 years, paying the sharebtab
a minimum rent of 6 per cent., and dividing equalli;:io-
them the profits beyond that amount. 5 per cent. is
wise to be allowed on all payments till the opening C of
line ; and, as a security for the general performanco,
these conditions, the contractors are to deposit 100,00 br
in the hands of three trustees—the Earl of Yarboro4be
Mr. Glyn, and Mr. Ricardo. The undertaking 18 Vr ol
completed within 15th months, and the concession '
the King of Denmark, which is in perpetuity, nolbrat%g
a clause against the establishment of any cornPe joy
lines for a period of 100 years. The title of, the c°
pany will be the Roy al Danish Railway.

WEST INDIES.—The most interesting portion of t,bile,
intelligence received by the steamer Parana from Id
West Indies, relates to the effect which the discover9,o,
gold in Australia is at length exercising upon the CO't,
nists. At Jamaica the desire to emigrate to Syd-1„:
Melbourne, and Port Adelaide was steadily increaslee,
and all the vessels taken up for those places were ireM,,,
diately filled with passengers. - The accounts relative se
the progress of the yellow fever do not confirm th,.°o
previously received. At Tobago and -St. Vincent it r
appeared in a very virulent form, and the troops lo g3sc.
rison were those chiefly attacked. At Barbadoes, 11(3.4,-
