RAII, ROADS.

An English work rail roads, by Mr. Tredrod,
has been lately published at New York. The work
contains good deal Of practical information as well
much that theoretical and is likely 90 attract at.
Cntion 10 The subject This country. lie is not quito
so sangIine Of the writers on rail roads and
although Inc thinks that in out of ten tev
would be preferable to canals he does not estimate
their comparative advantages high they have been
stated in several respectable publcationsIIo est
mates The average cost of proper Rail Road with a
donbo set Of tracks at C5OOO sterling per mile and the
annual eXpenCc, iuc'udng fair profit on the capital,
repairs, attendance, &c. at E557 per milo.
He considers two pence per ton per mile the utmost
that should be charged Tor tolls, and therefore infers
that when greater quantity Of tonnage than 200 tons
cannot be dcPc1ls1 upon with tocrabc certainty 10
pass the whole length Of the line, for tie average OF
every day, allowing - working days for year. there
will be very little chance Of rail way being profit
able speculation.
The average cost OF canal under similar circum-
stances, he estimates at 100000 per nile and the ex-
Pensc OF repairs and aendances greater than on the
rail road, and consequently double the quantity
OF business must be done the canal TO make il pro
dtable, that IS required on a rail road. Where the
country broken and uneven, the ground of preference
stronger for the rail road than where it is even as less
expensive than the locage can be provided for
ascending and descending from level to another

The Cameron jghiGndcrs.-Y csterday afternoon at
o'clock, the first division Of the 10Th Regiment or
Cameron Iiighandcrs, under command of Lieutenant
Colonel Brown, landed from the Cato transport, and
marched into the Jesuts Barrack. The arrival ofths
distinguished Corps has been for some time expected.
Notwithstanding the bicalSncss Of the day, Cousdera-
bic number OF spectators collected to witness their dis
embarbaIIon, aud march through the town. The war
like appearance OF soldiers habed "in the Cab Of Old
Gaul," excited surprise and admiration, not Unmxcd
with sentiments Of pity from the softer at the bare
idea The sTerings even these hardy montaneers must
endure If exposed TO the rigour of Canadian winter
with such insufficient protection their dress affords
We understand that these alarms rest bottofncss
foundation, and that the ghianders during tho winter
months, viii submit TO garments more suitable to
the climate Of the frozen regions. They arc Gne
looking body Of men, and landed in high order notwit
standing their long voyagc.--The remaining division
may be daily expected; indeed unless they arrive with
IN 4 very short period, II will hardly be possible for the
G7th Regiment to return TO Europe in the transports
which bring out the relief We hear tint the Cato has
not seen her COnsos since the second day after she left
