The underground passenger railways
Of London have proved a complete sue
cess, and the New York press is already
calling for such an institution to relieve
the pressure Of traffic in Broadway. A
recent number of the London EnGineer
describes as follows the business Of the
line in operation there:
Among our railway systems the
Metropolitan Is sei QeneTis. It is
unique In its mode OF construction,
In the district it serves, and in its work
ing. At the top Of the list in mileage
traffic receipts, and we may almost
add in the value Of its shares. It Is pc
eulIar inasmuch as the whole Of the line
Is constructed in or under the metropolis,
many portions oft passing under densely
populated districts and busy thorough
fares.
The number Of passengers it conveys is
perfectly enormous. In the last half
year the persons carried on the Metropol-
itan were :, 49,, Is.3, that is, two and g
half times the population OF Lon
don. The mere increase in the num-
Ger Of passengers conveyed In the
| last IS compared with the preceding half
year, was equal 70 the united population
Of 4 score of the next largest cities and
tovEs In England, including Manchester,
Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle, etc.
The Metropolitan receipts per nile per
week are as high as seven hundred and
three pounds, The nearest approach 10
this is ~ some Of the lines which have
( metropolitan and suburban traffic, but
/ all these fall shoTt oft
/ The Blsekwal Ire reaches about three
hundreds apG1 ninety-four pounds sterling
] per mile per week, and the North Lon
don three hundred and seventy-three
pounds sterling, whereas the great COM
panies having LondOn termini, and other
! large companies in other parts Of the
I country, have traffics which only yield
receipts ranging from sixty to one hun,l-
red and sixty pounds sterling per mile
per week. IN Whit Week last the Metro.
politan carried three hundred and seventy
i thousand eight hundred and forty-thret
/ passengers, and in one day alone, the
Monday Of that week, it carried eighty.
/ three thousand four hundred and forty
and as result Of the perfect system O
signaling adopted on thar line, without
loss Of life or casualty 70 single pas
senger.

Bsa- The American QCcrterlu Revieac
contains a letter from @. W. Irving,
Esq, giving a sketch Of his visit to San
Marine, small repHblic in Italy, be-
tween the AppeL wes, the Po and the
Adriatic. The territory Of this State is
only forty miles in circumference, and
its population about seven thousand.
The republic was founded more than
fourteen centuries ago on moral prinei-
pies, industry and equity, and has pre-
served its liberty and Independence
amid all the wars and diseords which
have ragged around il. Bonaparte re-
spected it and sent ~ embassy to ex-
press his sentiments Of friendship and
fraternity. 1t is governed by a Captain
regent, chosen every six months by the
representatives Of the people, tsixty-six
in number), who are ais0 chosen every
six months by the people. The taxes are
light; the farm houses are pe@t the
fields well cultivated, and on aa sides are
seen comfort and plsnty-the happy
s6eet Of ssozality.

EGF- The Charleston Courier says Of the
condition Of that city:
a. On every street and thOroughfare the
marks OF energy, industry and enterprise
are plainly visible. East Bay, six weeks
sgo, was alE,ost barren OF open business
places, while now il is next 10 an impos-
sibility 10 rent q building covered with a
roof Owners OF buildings are actively
engaged repairing damages occasioned
by IRE and water, and long before the re-
pairs are completed, applications are
received 10 occupy the premises. The
same holds good with Meeting, King,
and other principal streets. There l. a
great demand for stores and warehouses
ali over the city. Ia order 10 meet this
demand, it viii be necessary for some
measures 10 be taken toward restoring
the burnt district to habitable eondi-
ton. The rents in Charleston are in
cressing daily, which Is another evidence
of enhancing business activity. Stores,
which three months ago could be OBJ
tained fof five hundred dollars per an
mum. cannot row be had sor less than
fifteen hundred and thousand dollars foE
tke same tsTst.

From the London Times, De,. l2
THE NEW GOVERNOR or JAMAICA.
There are few officers of the same age
who have seea more active and various
service than Sir II. Storks; there are
none, perhaps, who have had equal OPP
pOrtunities OF showing thar which is the
better part of valOr in so MANY trying
emergencies. Again and again Sir H.
St0rks has been called in to solve some
difficulty which was not OF his own crea-
ton. A great part Of his life has been
spent in special services. He was on
special service at the Cape Of Good Hope
in 1916, and was Assistant Adjutant Gen
araI for the two following years in the
CSflre war; he was afterwards Military
Secretary at the Mauritius, and
also acted Cor some time as
the Private Secretary of the
Governor; he commanded a motley and
not very docle foreign contingent at
smyrna and Seufsri during the Crimean
war; having managed to organize them
effectively, he managed 10 Gisband them
peaceably when the war was over; he
filed the difficult post Of Secretary for
Military Correspondence when the new
relations between the War Office and
Horse Guards were first established; he

held at all amid the grateful applause 90
the whole population. He h8s now been
transferred for q time from the govern

at this moment engrosses the whole at
tention of the Colonial Office, and Is dis
tracted by troubles that have caused vio-
lent agitation in this country. TO this
great trust be was only Summoned by a
telegraphic message to Malta on Wednes-

of duty that Sir H. Storks was on his
way "a the course of the next day, and
