UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD BoNDs.-We have several times stated. upon the strength of representations from the off cers of the Company, that the price of the Union Pacific Railroad First Mortgage Bonds would be advanced at an early day. It is now announced that so rapid has been the sale of these bonds, and so great the de- mand for them, that on the 31st of January the price was advanced from 90 to 95 cents on the dollar. Ten million dollars of these bonds have been sold already, and so ac- tive was the demand that five millions more would probably have been sold during the nrst week of February if the price had been permitted to remain at 90. Those purchasers who needed the advice to buy at the lowest figures while they could, can now congratulate themselves upon the handsome advance already realized. The Company have large surplus of cash on hand for the vigorous prosecution of it's work, and its financial condition is entire ly satisfactory to ali concerned.

 THE BOSTON AND ERIE RAILROAD. There Is a movement on foot at Hartford to give up the extension of the Boston and Erie railroad westward, and to enter upon the new project of building q road from the Hudson through the northern tier of towns in Litchfeid county. and thence extending 1t to Hartford. If this scheme succeeds both Waterbury and Litchfield will be left out in the cold, and the people of Litch field county, who have been persuaded te oppose bridging the Connecticut, because they feared that measure would prevent the extension of the Boston and Erie roaG hy creating a too powerful rival to it, may find out that their troubles come from Hartford and not from the Air Line.-Neu HgreR Journal.
 There Is no movement, whatever, to give up the extension of the Boston and Erie and there Is nobody in Hartford that has any desire to give 1t up or has the right or power to do 1t. The contracts are made and the work is in actual progress. The completion of the line from Boston tc Fishkin Is as certan as capital and business energy can make 1t. Count it as a "fxed fact" But the northwestern road from Hartford or from Collinsville through New Hartford, Winchester, Norfolk, Canaan Salisbury, &c., has strong claims on it. own merits, and it has vigorous friends, with the warm good will of the public gen. erally.-CoMrant.
 Several employees on the Fishkill Roai are now stopping in town, and others are expected here soon. Everything indicate. that there will be busy times along the en tire line of this road the coming season.- DIHbavy JefeTsonO.

 CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD BONDS CHANGE, OF PR1cE.-The sales of the First Mortgage Bonds of the Central Pacific Railroad Company have recently been so rapid and extensive that the full amount which tue Company had proposed to sell at the original price of 95 and interest, has been marketed, and the price has been ad- vanced to par and accrued interest. The progress of the road, the prosperous condition of the Company's affairs. their abundant cash resources, and high credit, would seem to fully justify the advance in the price of their First Mortgage Bonds, and to afford sufficient guarantee of an active demand at the advanced rate.

Allowing the cost of the remaining eighty six miles of the eleven hundred assumed to be built by the Union Pacific company to be S90,0OO per mile,
