Railways in Uhiua.

From the London and China Telegraph
Our readers are aware that a company
has been formed in London for the pur-
pose Of introducing railways into China,
and that the first experimental line will
be between Shanghai aud Woosung, a
distance Of nine and a half miles. We
are now enabled to state that q contract
has been entered into between the Woo
sung Road Company Qimited) and Mr..
John Dixon, OF London, for the construc.
ton Of the line, and that the materials
for the permanent way have already
left for Shanghai. The engineer of the
company weRto out some time since, and
will be on the spot to commence opera.
tons as soon as these shipments arrive.
It is expected that the line will be com
pieted and in full working by hex July,
when the novelty Of seeing railway trains
actually running over the distance in a
few minutes may be considered certain
to attract a large amount Of Chinese
passenger traffic. The line being avow
eddy experimental, is constructed on the
narrow gauge of two feet six inches; the
funds at command would not admit OF
anything more, 1t is no doubt the case
that this will be found inadequate to the
requirements Of a large traffic; but the
FIRST thing to be- done is to prove rail
ways 10 China a success, and if the en-
terprise OF the company is able to make
tbis small line a paying concern. there
can be little doubt that funds will be
forthcoming in this country to PROV Q
railway communication between the
more important cetters Of commerce in
China, when future extension OF the sy .
TEN a be equipped with every requ.
site to carry the largest traffic in passen-
gers and merchandise that It would be
reasonable to expect for years to come.
We believe the promoters Of this enter
prise will Eff sct more real good in our
relations with CHINA and the Chinese
than all the t%reati.s and conventions we
can obtain.
