west through the centre of the island would
bring the two extremities together, and would,
besides, render the communication between all
parts of the island rapid and effective, especial
ly if short branch lines we're constructed as
they were found to be required. A line from
Kingston to Montego Bay would be about
100 miles in length, % miles of which are
covered by the present railway from Kings
ton to Old Harbour. It is not proposed, Of
course, that such a large scheme of railway
extension should be undertaken at once. It
might be carried from point to point, as the
necessity arises and the paying capabilities
of the line become more fully demonstrated.
The first place to which the line could be
a~dvantageously extended is Porus, which is
about 26 miles from Old Harbour, where
the present line stops, and about so miles
from Kingston. In this stretch of road there
are no steep gradients to overcome, nor does
any unusual engineering difficulty present
itself. The traffic of the existing railway is
principally derived from the western part Of
the leland, which is thus connected with
Kingston, and it follows that if she line were
carried further westward, the facilities for
reaching the capital would be 80 much grea-
ter, that a large increase of traffic would be
the immediate result. Short as the present
line is, and inefficient as it is reported to be-
it has regularly paid q dividend, and the
farther the railway is taken into those dis
tricts from whence q considerable part
of the present traffic is drawn, the more Sc
cure will its business become, and the more
rapidly that business will expand. It must

THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

Some little time has now elapsed since the
Jamaica Government announced the intention
of proceeding with a survey of the proposed
railway route. The time is quite ripe for ac-
ton. Every mail may bring news of the ap-
pointment of an engineer to carry out this work.
A preliminary step like this need not be very
difficult, as a superficial survey was made some
time ago by Mr.. Archibald Fairlies civil engi-
neer, and his reports and plans, together with
much valuable incidental information, are
doubtless in the possession of the Government.
The present Governor Of Jamaica has signi-
fed his approval of scheme of railway extern
sion, and the matter seems to have been taken up
SO warmly by the inhabitants that, if any
more time is lost before a partial begin
ming is made, great disappointment will be felt.
The question of railways ranks in equal impor-
tance with that of the supply Of labour, to the
development of the latent wealth Of the colony,
Jamaica is 144 miles 10 length, and its width
varies only from IS to 40 miles. It's area is
about 6.400 square miles, and its population
numbers. more than half a million. Kingston,
which is situated on the south coast towards
the east, and which is the seat Of Government
and the commercial centre of the island, would
naturally be the starting place for a line Of
railway, and Falmouth and Montego Bay, on
the northwest, are important places which
would be greatly benefited by being brought
into effective communication with the capital.
Speaking broadly, a line running from east to
, 1874-12-30

way does not secure all the business that it
might, and which an extended and thoroughly
Efficient line would very soon command. A
large quantity of produce is now sent by road
in preference to the rail, and SOM idea of the
amount of new traffic that would be acquired
might be gathered from the fact that in 1869
and 1870 the traffic passing a given point
on the public road between Old Harbour and
Porus, averaged weekly just 900 tons of goods,
nearly 600 cattle, and 5000 passengers either
walking or riding. There 10 no doubt that
the greater part, if not all, of this traffic would
pass by rail. With a moderate scale of charges
the profit arising from such an amount of bust
ness would be a satisfactory interest upon the
capital employed. Of this there can be no
doubt after all the investigation the subject
has undergone, and the Trustworthy estimates
which have been made. Upon the question
of the gauge that 10 best fitted for q line Of
this kind there are different opinions, but the
balance of authority is certainly on the side Of
the narrow gauge, as being more economical,
and better adapted to the nature ofthe ground.
The cost Of construction has been estimated
at between $1,000. and 6,OOOl. a mile, and a
capital of about 800, O0O1. would probably be
required to take over the existing line (assum.
ing of course that its proprietors would sellh
10 dAtoE lilo gauge put the FOlIlng STOCK IN goOu
order, and construct the new line from Old
Harbour to Porus. To raise this capital the
practical encouragement of the Government Of
Jamaica is essential, and seeing the immense
benefits that railway extension would confer
upon the whole of the island, no undertaking
more legitimate and more worthy of support
could be found. There are two ways in which
the Government can give its support. One
OF theseis to pay a certain sum per mile as a
subsidy, and the other is to allow the promo
ters to raise the capital under o Government
guarantee extending for a specified number of
years. The former seems to commend Itself
most to the Governor, although it would neoes-
state expenditure Of the island funds, but the
guarantee, which probably would cost the CO.
lony nothing, would be the most effective sup
port which could be given 80 the scheme. In
the latter case there would be no necessity for
an increase of taxation. The burdens Of the
colony are sufficiently heavy, and no one could
sincerely recommend an addition to them. A
large sum of moneyis being spent upon irriga-
ton works, the object being to bring unpro-
ductive land into cultivation. But something
more is necessary. Means must be provided to
carry the produce to shipboard or to market as
speedily and cheaply as possible, and this lat
ter part of a great scheme for developing the
resources of the island can be best advanced
by a Government guarantee.

FOUR LITTLE ITALIAN SLAVES Res
cUED FROM THE STREET.-Last night at
s o'clock, while on one of his charitable
rounds, Capt. Caesar Moreno, who has
already made the hard-hearted padroni

Broadway and Fourth street, four little
Italian slaves suffering intensely. They

two youngest wee things of ). They
were all in most wretched condition.
thinly clad and dirty, shivering, with
cold and suffering for want of food. The
eldest had harp, the next violin. but
neither was able to bring forth much
music of any quality from his instru-
ment. because of the numbed condition
OF the fingers. The two babies of the
little band carried triangles. with which
they kept melancholy time to the dolor-
Gus strains of the harp and violin while
crying p1te0usIy.
Capt. Moreno, after taking in at
glance the state of affairs with his little
countrymen, went to Capt Byrne of the
Mercer street station, who sent an officer
to render the good hearted Italian what
ever aid might be needed, and in a few
minutes the children were safely enscon.
