Tie Raiway Mania in England. We are
able to form some IDEA of the extent Of that COM
mercial delusion which now prevails in Engf,n
from the appear anee of the English ncwspa pcrs,
which, from beginning to end, are one continuous
railway advertisement. There are now before us
several copies of the London Morning Chronicle,
one of the leading dliIy papers of London, which,
for the informing of such of our readers us do not
see the English prints. we will describe In
length and breadth the Chronicle is nearly cqnal
to the Evening Post in size, but as it is published
on double Sheet and in smaller type, it we'll con-
tain nearly twice much matter as the Evening
Post. Well, of this enormous suEace of print
seventeen solid columns arc occupied with notices
Of railroads formed, or about to be with the names
Of the directors and their respective proposed ad
vantages But this is not all for under the read
ing head Of the paper we have FIVE more closely
printed columns OF matter relating exclusively TO
railroads, and the meeting and movements of1lrir
managers. Yet the worst has to- come. The
Chronicle publishes every morning what it calls
a supplment, but which IN fact is another double
sheet of the same size as the paper ITSELF and the
great part Of which is taken up with still moro
railway advertisements. ..,ss ~. .s..s a.--- ( >
In the supplement before US, besides the twenty.
two columns which appear in the regular paper
NC have thrty-thrce additional columns of this
kind OF understanding in all in one paper alone
fifty five long and close columns of railroad mat
ter. The reader may judge of the immensely Of
this patronage when state that the daily adver.
tismcnts of this paper alone, on the single subjects
of railway would 6ll three of our ordinary papers
from beginning to end The excitement by
which such extent of advertisements is sustained
must be tremendous. Our hearts sink within u:
when think of what must be the end Of it
the disappointments, the ruin, the insanity, the
suffering. Such another bubble has not been
blown since the great South Sea,scherne and tht
explosion of it, we fear will be awtuIly disastrous
not only to England but to the nations in which
she stands in close commercial connection.
