Railroads,

The various railroad enterprises Of
the country are in progress without
any cessation ofpublic interest in them,
which is clearly on the increase in ev-
cry part of the country. There are
now in operation in the United States
over eleven thousand miles of railroad.
The route from Portland to Montreal
is urged on with great yigor by its
friends, and operations have been COM
menced at both extremties Of the
line. II will most probably be carried
on to completion in spite of its great
cost, and the lack of capital which it
would command were it Boston or a
New York enterprise. If the various
railroad routes are executed which are
now proposed, and most of them will
be, the seaboard OF New England will
have much more direct available
connexion with the interior than has
hitherto been the case. Salem, Mas
sachusetts, is soon to be connected
with the new city of Andover by a
railroad, and therce TO Manchester, in
this State road will be built in the
course Of few years. Portsmouth
also cannot fail at no very distant time
To have direct road to this place
This will enlarge the market for do
nestle produce to the or at advantage
OF our farmers In other parts of the
country great progress is now making
in furnishing the inhabitants with rail-
road facilities. The great New York
and Erie railroad, from New York
city to Lake Erie, is again put in
course OF construction, being now in
operation over sixty miles. It is also
contemplated 10 build railroad from
New York city to Albany. a distance
OF one hundred and fifty miles, which
it is intended to run over in five hours,
the fastest steamboat not being able TO
I go in less than eight. In winter, OF
course, il will command the whole
/ traffic. The only railroad communiea
ton in winter is now by means Of the
I Hou. atomic railroad--a very round a
bout and irconvenicnt route. 1t is
stated that the Western railroad is like
~ to be benefited by the new free
trade system of the English, as much OF
the produce which was shipped by
way Of Montreal will now come over
the Western road to Boston. This
stock is now nearly up 10 par, and the
prospect is that in a short time il will
pay a dividend Of more than six per
cent. A railroad is now constructed
some distance above Springfield. Mass,
on the Connecticut, ard is said to do
an immense business. This road will
40 doubt be extended up the valley of
the Connecticut a. far as Wells river,
At which point the proposed Passump-
sic road will touch the river.
Of the Southern States, Georgia
seems to have taken the lead in rail-
road matters. there being in the State
over five hundred miles Of railroad in
successful operation. In 0hio eonsid-
cradle has been done within the last
year, but the Western States in gener-
al are doing but little, having so in
Iured their credit by their repudiating
proceedings that they can do nothing
or them as State enterprises, and in
iividual capital is too scsnty to make
my great advance. Several of the
Southern and Western roads have been

Fire in BoookLyn.-About four o.
clock on Sunday morning The large
Sash and Blind Factory of Mr.. Joice,
on Adams-st. near Fulton, was dis
covered to be on fire, and in short
time the building and contents were
nothing but mass of smoking
ruins; barn and shed adjoining were
also destroyed-a horse was burned in
the barn. Mr.. Joicc saved nothing but
his desk containing his papers and a
chest of tools standing near the door.
He estimates his loss at $4,000 above
insurance, which was $500 in the
North American ms. Co. The fire
was evidently the work Of an incen-
diary, as the shop was on fire in three
places when Mr.. j. first went into it,
and there was also fire in the barn be-
tween the horse and the door when Mr..
j. went to save the horse. N. York
