cessary to execute this line, and of this sum eight mil-
lions have already been obtained by subscription, and
three by the intervention of Baron de Rothschild, so that
only seven remain to be raised. The concession is made
for eighty years. Several branch:lines have also been
authorised. The works will be executed simultaneously
between Pesth and Vienna, and Pesth and Debreezen."
The Berlin journals state that the grand line of rail-
road between Berlin and Kcenisburgh is decided upon,

Posen and to Stargardt, in Pomerania, in order to
unite these two towns with Stettin. In this case, the
distance between Berlin and Posen may be performed in
nine or ten hours, and between Berlin and Stettin in
seven or eight hours. The surveys of the railroad be•
tween Posen and Glogan are very nearly finished.

A number of the principal rate-payers in Oldham and
the adjacent townships are taking measures with a view
to the introduction of the new Poor-law, whilst a con-
siderable body of the middle and working classes are
strongly opposed to the change. It is reported that the
late irregularities in the administration of the parochial
affairs of Oldham, and the recent mismanagement in the
conducting of Middleton workhouse have produced the
present proceedings. •

to be, that this example will be followed by a general
