the port for the winter.

sandal-wood, glass beads, earthenware, looking-glass, paper,
iron locks, tin, copper, steel, cast-iron, Russia leather,
slum, needles, &c. &c., to the value of 464,299 rubles.

AIM-LA-CHAPELLE, DEC. 20.—Much as we wished
here, and could not but wish for our own interest, that the
proposals of the Cologne Rhenish Society, respecting the
iron railroad to be made from Cologne to the Belgian frontier,
and the statutes of the Society sent for approbation to Ber-
lin, might not be sanctioned, we were, however, disagreeably
surprised by the news which we received . a few days ago,
that the King's Ministers had not only rejected the pro-
posals and statutes, but had-thrown a number of difficulties
in the way of the undertaking, and diffieulties,,too, of such
a nature, that it is to be feared the Company will be
actually dissolved. The managing Committee of the
Society is summoned, as we hear, to meet at Cologne on
the 16th January, 1836, because the President of the Go-
vernment there has received positive instructions to nego-
elate only with:the Committee and not' with the Board of Di-
rectors, because the latter has not yet been recognized.
We are, of course, very anxious for the result of this meet-
ing, but fear, from many indications, that the Committee
will not be able to come to an understanding with
the Ministry upon the conditions. Should the apprehension
prove well fonnded, the whole undertaking would
be for the present at an, encl.,. aod.all..tho.time, and. pains
bestowed on this interesting v.urir, so important to the
country, and the capense bestowed on the many admirably
conducted preliminary proceedings, surveys, &c., would 'be
thrown away. As matters now stand, the only.hope• seems'
to be that. the. State itself will resolve to take up the
work on its own account. This would, perhaps, be the
best, and there seems to be no reason why. it should not
• be so, because the interest of the State is very much con-
cerned in this affair, even setting aside all the advantages
that trade and manufacture might derive from it. This
may be shown in a few words. France and Belgium are
sensible of the importance of iron rail-roads, on an extensive
scale ; and they have resolved, and will carry their resolution
into effect to connect Paris with Brussels, and Brusse:s with
\Terriers, by iron railroads. When this work is completed
the journey from Paris to Verviers will be 'performed in 24
hours, and France needs but some reinorqueurs bueilt at.
Paris to be able to convey in 24 hours a large military
force, with all requisites, from its capital to the Prussian
frontiers. Would it not be desirable that Prussia should
be able, to perform similar wonders ?—fur instance, by an
iron railroad from Magdeburg to Eufren. It must come
to this. These are not times when a State can without
danger remain behindhand in such things—least of all
-Prussia behind its powerful neighbours. Count Arnim,
President of our Government, is gone to Berlin, to endea-,
your to have the road from the Rhine pass through Aix-
la-Chapelle.—Extra Supplement to the Allgemeine Zeitung,
