;•„. l,a i; , on.guiariti,sl,; (!tler rs to be
more teet, and -this is especi illy the case with Germany
during ;he winter months. It is proposed now, we un-
derstand, to form a telegraphic line from Vienna to Mu-
nich and Frankfort, passing by Linz and Salzbourg.
The North of France Railway Company, after
repeated conferences with the It, Igian authori-
ties, has expressed its inaoility to carry out
the arrangement t*,,r reducing the tariff on heavy
goods, of which so large a quantity passes
uetween the two countries. New art ungetnents, it i 6
stated, would lead to great changes in the management
of the line, and of a nature, perhaps, to damage its Po-
sition, which is at present satisfactory.
The New Brunswiekers object strongly to a passage
in the report of the Government Commissioners ap-
pointed to explore the various routes for a railway from
a port in the Atlantic through Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick to Quebec, on account of the following ob-
servation with respect to the Bay of Fundy:—
" In summer the transhipment of passengers and goods
to and fro would be attended with the greatest incon-
venience—lass of time and additional expense; whilst in
winter it would be even still more inconvenient,. and
liable to be interrupted by storms, and the floating
masses of ice which then occur in the bay."
A party writing from the colony observes:—
" Now, with respect to the objections urged as to the
engineering difficulties in the interior, never having gone
over the ground we cannot presume to say whether they
really exist, or whether the Commis?ioners have draw°
on their imagination for the picture by them so vividly
set forth; but with respect to the obstacles said to exist
in navigating the Bay of Fundy in the winter seaseur
we are prepared to give it a flat denial. So far to the
contrary is the fact, that instead of floating masses L,
ice obstructing the navigation, during the entire of all
and every winter known to the inhabittints of the pro-
vince, not only have vessels of burden, but even open
boats of all sizes navigated without the slightest diffi-
eulty, it we except the gales of wind which pervade the
whole of the North Atlantic during the whole of our
(so-called) inclement season ; and since the intro"
auction of steam navigation into our waters, the
steamers (certainly very inferior to those that
would be used in connexion with so great an under-
taking as the contemplated North American Rail-
road), have, and continue to traverse unimpeded every
part of this terrific Bay. It is easy to conceiver
that the crossing of forty miles of water, and, ilt!
national point or view, the line running near the Amens'
can frontier, would be serious and fatal obstacles to the
g; eat project, when an entire land route could be pro-
cured; but these were sufficient in themselves, without
making terrors in the Bay of Fundy which really do
not exist.
'° We are induced to make these observations Purelf
be
from a desire that this often-libelle countr
known to our friends in Great Brid tain asy it real
ly
exists."
The produce markets have been tolerably firm that
week, and a large business has been done in sugar
