THE RAILWAY

INTEREST.

(From yesterday's Times.)

loners

The vastness of the aggregate will be seen by compart
son with that portion of it which has been already cora•
pleted, or is now in progress. Including the session of
1845, there have been rather more than four hundred
railway acts, relating to about two hundred and fifty rail-
ways, some of which have never been completed. We
have all the figures before us, but prefer round numbers,
from the impossibility of distinguishing between integral
railways, and mere supplementary portions of line. Of
these, near a hundred new railways were authorised by
the last session, which did three times as much as any one
session before. Only 471ines were actually completed from
1823 to the end of 1844. Passing from the number of
railways to their cost, the aggregate sum which Parlia-
ment has empowered companies to raise, whether as capi-
tal or by loan, is £154,716,937. This includes the earlier
and ruder description of railways constructed for the car-
riage of coals and ore from 1801 to 1825. It also in-
cludes the relinquished lines. The 47 lines completed
from 1823 to the end of 1841 cost £70,680,877. The
quantity of railways now in progress will, perhaps, sur-
prise such of our readers as are not familiar with these
often-quoted figures. They are in number 118, the
gregate mileage is 3,543, and their estimated c
least the whole sum which there has been granted autno-
thority to raise, is £67,359,325. By adding, therefore,
to the actual cost of all completed lines. the estimated
cost of all lines now in progre,s.
