A project has now been matured which promises
ultimately to bring to a successful issue the long-
continued and hitherto abortive efforts to establish.
a system of steam conveyance for goods and pas-
sengers on common roads. The fact that Mr
Thomas Page, the acting engineer to the Thames
Tunnel, under Mr. Brunel, and the constructor of
'Westminster-bridge, is engineer to the company,
which has now been completely formed for
carrying out .the enterprise, is some guarantee that
its details have been carefully considered. The
system adopted will be free from the objections
Which have hitherto obstructed the general exten-
sion of tramways, as tributaries of existing railways;
it Will admit of the steepest gradients ever met with
easily overcome by the engines to be em-
ployed, and it will at once bring new traffic, to these
railways and develope industiy and production,
40W stagnating for want of ready access to markets.
The journals by the last mail from the Pacific
Publish a long list of guano deposits on the islands
and coast of Peru, many of which were made
known to the Government some years back by a
Senor Landreau, and state that the Minister of
senor Landreau, and state that the Minister of
.'uanee has notified the appointment of a Commis-
-131°4) of which Senor Landreau is to be a member,
to examine and report upon them.
On the Ist instant the quotation of Erie Rail-
Way Shares was struck from the official lists of the
New York Board of Brokers, that company
having failed to comply with a rule adopted by the
Board of Brokers several weeks since, requiring
all railway companies to establish an open and
regular register of their shareholders—a rule to
Which the other leading lines are understood to
have conformed.
In the Lancashire markets during the past week
some small failures among manufacturers, and un-
pleasant rumours and anticipations of others, ha ye
had, according to the Manchester Guardian, rather
a depressing influence, which has been partially
counteracted by the steady character of the cotton
Uarket, where the slow way in which last year's
crops are coming forward creates anxiety about the
881IPPly. It is still asserted, however, by many per-
Is that the receipts are fallacious, as 'supplies are
stopped by bad roads, and by the capability of
planters and speculators to hold back their cotton,
4 consequence of the large profits made on that
they have already disposed of.
