The Parliamentary notices for the projected
new railway to Brighton are now published. The
plan is to start from the Dulwich station on the
Chatham line, and to carry the route to within a
few yards of the Pavilion at Brighton. No regular
prospectus has yet been issued, but according to the
statements originally circulated it is understood that
the means for promoting the scheme have been
raised by a subscription of £io,ooo in shares of £1
each, on which £22,500, or ss. per share, was to be
available for preliminary expenses, while £60,000
would be required for the Parliamentary depo-
sit, leaving £7,500 to meet the cost of a second
application, in case the first should be unsuccessful.
The capital is to consist of £1,200,000 (£900,000
in shares and £300,000 in debentures), and the
maximum fares are to be fixed at Gs. first class, 4s
second, and 2s. Gd. third, with 50 per cent. additional
on return-tickets. The carriages are to be upon
the American and English systems, combined with
a free passage throughout the length of the
train, and smoking and refreshment saloons at
one end.

According to the report of the Tower Subway
Company satisfactory tenders have been received
for the execution of the work. Up to the present
time the total expenses incurred amount to about
£2,000, and the smallness of the entire sum re-
quired for the whole undertaking (£16,000) is ex-
plained by the fact that, being of iron, the sec-
tional excavation of a single tunnel, to take a
full-sized carriage, propelled by stationary power,
does not exceed one-twentieth of the section of the
Thames Tunnel, and that no building of any value
is interfered with in the line of tunnel, or by the
necessary shafts. A great advantage also consists
in the whole of the ground to be traversed Ling
composed of solid London clay.
The latest commercial telegrams from Brazil in-
dicate a continued tendency to confidence in the
financial arrangements of the Government, the rate
of exchange being firm at 191 to 19k.
The Neue Freie Presse mentions, as a sign of the
cordial relations existing between the North Ger-
mans and the Austrian., the fact that when a few
days ago the Anglo-Austrian Bank closed a sub-
scription list of 6,000,000 florins of the Kronprinz
Rudolph Railway it was found that more than two-
thirds of the amount was alone subscribed in Berlin
and Frankfort-on-the-Maine.
