Atticn and Buffalo Railrond.
| We are highly gratfed in being able TO announce
to tic trading and travelling community that the
| last link i, the chain Of Railroads be'"ecn the
! Hudson river and Lake Erie, is in such n state OF
| forwardne,s as to ensure its completion early in
September, ensuing-probsbly on TIE 18th of that
month. This work %as commenced in Sept. l34l
and ha, been steadily progressing, notwithstand
ing the depression of the times, the limited mean,
| # the company, and the INSCRIPTIONS opposition
Of certain wealthy and influential individuals. The
directors are deserving of much credit iot THEN
exhibition of patience and perseverance, and hive
set an example worthy of emulation by our friends
| in this city.
Thi. road is in an almost straight line from Buffa-
10 to Attica 500 miles, where it connects with the
Tonaw anda road to Rochester; it is fully equal il
not superior To any other road west of Albany and
will be completed at much less expense. The orr
FINAL cost was estimated a, $4,000 per mile; but
| by a statement signed by all the officers OF the
Company, dated May 9th, the ascertained cost
va. sI9l ,i9G Stand the balance of work TO be
done estimated at s37, 1lj-making an aggregate
| of s22s Gil 80, or about - zee per mile. We
have been shown report made by an eminent
civil engineer, who has had much experience in
building railroads, and who visited the western
part of the State in the early part OF TN. month at
the instance at some capitalists for the purpose oil
examining ihi. road, and enquriug into The lnan-
cia condition Of the company. He says;

cost about 700 900, or $3.50 per milo do
not believe it will exceed thi. and | am not
aware of any road in the United States of an
equally substantial character which has been con-
.trlctcd 50 chcuply Tho plan Of the super.trrlc-
turc j, very good-cqual, think, to that adopted
on any Of the roads between Batavia and Albany,
and better than most Of them.
In the above estimate are included buildings and
other apPendage. not embraced in the original e.
innate Of the Engineer, statement above mcn-
tened. Another extract from the same report
will furnish some idea Of the importance Of this
work to the community.
d" The following estimate seems to me To be
safe one. and can. believe. be realised if the
Tonawanda Company put their read in a state of
thorough repair, and the two works arc placed
under the management of All efficient superinen-
