Shortly will be constructed the important road which
has been projected with the view Of uniting the port Of
Trieste with the railroad of Gmund, by Vlaco, Ra-
sadt and lshel, to facilitate commercial communica-
tion between the Adriatic and the EIbe Then there is
already araiIway which connects Gmund with Bedwes
on the Moldavia, of the tributaries of the Ebe.
It may be said that the line of great roads has been
doubled In the short period Of twenty years. Hydraul
c works, net less Important have been undertaken at
other points They are now at work in improving the
navigation OF the Moldavia in Bohemia, and that OF
the Danube, betweenKrems and Raub in lower Aus
'rla, and In Hungary In the lastmentoned kingdom,
number OF small canals have been eug to expedite
navigatIon by avoiding many long bends of ibe Dam
ube. We must not pass over in silence the impor-
works executed in the neghborhood of Porte Fer
Iea upon the advice, and under the drectan, Of the
learned and celebrated Count Szecheny. In aaoiher
part OF Inc empire, many canals of the Lombardu
Venitian kingdom have been repaired the fine canal
of Pavia has been opened for navigation; and the En-
peror has recently ordered 100000 forms to appro-
prlated TO the improvement OF the habor OF Malanoc-
co, near Venice. These works, united with the new
Ioadswhich bring together, SO TO speak, the ancient
Queen OF the Adratic with the lake of Constance,
which has become the centre of great commercial ac
tlvity--wlll restore to Venice much of her pristine
importance.
Three railroads have been undertaken by number
Of stockholders; among which that of Lintz is the
hrst which has been constructed grand scale on
the continent OF Europe. Its length is nearly hun
dred miles, and it extends from Budweis, in Bohemia
10 Gmund upper Austria passing through FIystadt
Lintz, Wells and Lambach The Danubee is naviga-
ted from Jenna to- its mouth by steamboats, establish
ed by company which bears the name of this great
rivel second company has been formed at Tliest
TO establish regular communicated between that
commercial mart and the lonian isles, Greece, the Ar
chipelago, Constantinope, Smyrna, Syria, and Egypt
The construction of the northern railroad called Fer
dinand, (haisers Ferdinand Nord- Eisen Bahn,) has
been recently entrusted another society Of merchants
a road which will unite Bochnia, in GaIicia, with
Vienna, to facilitate the transportation of products for
that capital. But two proects-one of them of still
greater importance-have been recently presented TO
the appreciation of the sovereign. We refer to the
railroads from Trieste to Vienna and from Venice
to Milan.
As to the first which will connect the most com
mercia city Of the empire, with its opulen and -four
ishing capital, there great difficulties of ground
its construction whatever may be selected as it
must several times pass through the high chains Of
the Alps.
This road will be the continuation of that which will
bound side, the grand road, Ferdinand de Boch-
MIA, and on the other, that to be constructed,
from Vienna by Prague, to the frontiers of the King
dom Of Saxony. In this way. this road will offer to
commerce and to travellers the quickest communication
between Hamburgh, Leipsc, Vienna and Trieste, and
consequently, between the northsea the black sea and
the Adriatc.
The ground offers obstacle to the construction of
the other railroad projected between Milan and Venice
Notwithstanding its length, and that Of many lateral
branches designed for Padan, vicenza Verona, Man
tua, Bresca, Cremona and Bergamo, this road will not
cost more than 3OOOO 900 Austrian livres, equivalent
to about II 5000 forins) amount which has already
been subscribed by the company, which is composed
Of the richest capitalists Of the Lombardo Ven,an
Kingdom.
The commercial importance Of this road will be very
great, even in the present condition of commerce in
the Austrian empire and that Of upper aly, the Swiss
and Germanc considerations, Belgium and France
But il will become immense. should these railroads be
constucted, well the canals projected 10 Belgium
in Switzerland, and in Western Germany. countries to
which it would offer the shortest and cheapest ronte
for the transportation Of the products of their industry
to be exchanged for The productions Of the Levanl
And here it is important to observe that this route
useful to the rich and fertile LombardoVenelian pro-
vince where it will certainly produce greater deveI-
opment to agriculture, industry, and commerce,
in the least inure the route projected from Venna
Trieste because the commercial sphere of the latter
city extends to the eastern countries of the Ger
manic Confederation and of the Austrian Empire, and
consequently those which belong to the great CONNER
cia lines Of the Elbe the ODER the Danube, and their
tributaries
