and elsewhere, II will be seen, were on
the rise. The, London market advanced con-
siderably-nearly e. per quarter. The remorks
which we have made on one or two occa-
slons recently, still apply to the Corn market The
present harvest will yield ndifierendy. and this,
combined with the failure OF the crop on many parts
Of the Continent, from which, in former years, has
been drawn large portion of the supplies, cannot
fail to send the price of bread suffs" up to higher
figure than they have yet seen. The general failure
OF the potatoe crop Is, have before stated one
of the primary elements, in this upward tendency of
prices. IL may be observed, however, that, as re-
CARDS England, the disease in the potatoe in many
districts has nearly disappeared leaving only small
scab behind, which will not materially inlure the
properties Of that valuable escuent.
Letters from Hungary inform us that the Royal
Viceroy has given orders to the various comtas or
counties to lay up stores OF provisions and corn ma
gaines, in order meet the famine anticipated here
next year, from the failure OF this years harvest
We regret to say that this humane order meets
with opposition from the soi-disant liberal party in
several comltats although all parties should support
measure so beneficial for the country and the
people.
Progress of Railroads In the World.
-, From the London Railway Monitor, Oct Al
We cannot but regard railways as a great branch
OF commerce, standing in regard TO our home trade
and rnal traffic the same relation as shipping
does to our foreign trade. We must, however most
emphatlcally express the distinction which we make
between railways themselves and stock exchange
speculation in railway shares-hey are two things
AS tar apart things can be, both in their enden
ces and utility. The first inquiry the subject of
railways, to afford us the means of forming an ac-
curate opinion, not only to their existing extent
and importance, but alsoa to probable means of
carrying those great internal improvements into et-
feet in the future, is know what has been done in
the past. The first application to Parliament for
bill to construct railway in 1901 called the Sur
rey Railway, to be constructed between Wands-
worth and Croydon. A bill tor that undertaking
was passed in the same year. From that time to
The end Of 1925, acts were obtained for twenty
eight railways, only some of which, however, con-
slsting chiefly of short lines in the coal and iron
districts for private use, and the Stockton and OAR
llngton Extending from Stockton to Wilton Park
Colliery), for which the act was obtained in 1923,
were carried into execution. The following shows
the number of railways for which acts have been
obtained, to be constructed In Great Britain, and
the amount provided to be raised by those acts for
the several works. in each year.

more, and, reckoning that one half Of the middle
class are completed as far expenditure goes, it
may be said that. l5,5O0,0ON have been invested,
and that II viii require 49, 900 OOO more to complete
the entire system as at present determined upon
These do not include any Of the numerous projects
which have been made during the present year
in America, upto lS40 the total number Of rail-
way companies incorporated was l76, whose lines
embraced altogether 1921 miles, OF which 5000 had
been completed at an average cost of 4SOO per mile
BY statement made up to more recent PERIOD (the
end OF lS44) we find that 81 lines are opened, EN-
bracing S,6SS miles, and have been made at the cost
OF l7,7O2, 4OW. The remaining 1924 miles to COM
plete the projects OF the companies alluded to, part
Of which are now far advanced, will require fur
Their sum of 26 995 2OOi, without including any Of the
new projects OF 1874 and l945 The following re-
sumo, therefore, shows the whole amount of capital
present invested in completed railways in actual
operation, and that required to complete those in pro-
gress, and for which acts OF the Legislature have been
obtained, and exclusive of all the new schemes.

The country in Europe next in importance to
railway system, is Belgium, which was the first to
adopt general system TO embrace the whole king
dom. This was done by two laws, one of the lst Of
May 1884, and the other of the 18th of May 1897,
and which laws authorized the government to un-
dertake their construction These two laws COM
pretended system of 343 miles IN length and for
his act on the part of the government, which must
be considered a bold one, when we remember how
people are entirely indebted to the individual opin-
ions and determination OF Leopold. The first part
that was opened, was the fifteen miles from Brussels
to Malines, in May 1885, and which was completed
to Antwerp In May 1876. The whole was compile
ted thus:--
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1845-10-29

And the cost OF the whole has been 5,S72 1901 or on
an average IL, l2 per mile Some considerable por-
ton, however, OF the distance is constructed in
single line The railways now in progress, and con-
templated, are to be constructed by private compa-
MES, authorised by the government
In France, the first law authorizing a railway
was passed IN 1923, from st. Etienne to Lyons a
distance OF 81 miles, but which was not completely
opened until 1892 The next law which was passed
was In 1879, and from that year up to 1872 various
other lnesw sanctioned, IN all amounting to 49,

YOUNG IRELAND AND OLD lRELAND.-Ihese two

dagger-drawing. The Nation, of Saturday, outra-
geous at the prospect of new paper, founded ex-

hypocrisy in their pretended mourning for the late
Mr. Davies, and threatens terrible exposures. The

Nation speaks in these TERMS " The Most Rev Dr.
newspaper stating broadly, that this ustrous Pre-
late is insane and forging chain OF circumstan-
tla evidence, in which there is not one solitary
word of truth. The infamy OF this fabrication is
heightened by the fact, known to all men who have
watched the course OF that abandoned journal that
the lie systematically invented and propagated
for temporary factious purposes. Beyond doubt,
II was calculated, with nice inquiry, what proper
