THE Upper Nile railway. although
lately thrown into the shade by the
projected line from Suakim to Berbcr.
will undoubtedly acquire considerable
importance whenever the British ad-
vance southwark is resumed. Its
originator. the ex-khedive, lsmail
Pasha. carried it up tine river from
Wady Halfa AS far as Sarras. He.c
the British took it up last summer,
and had laid down fifteen Of the sixty.
two miles on the Sarras Fcrkct section
(which avoids the formidable Dal
rapids) when the want o: material and
of native labor stopped the work Oct.
% last. Gen. Wolselcy now reports
that the completion OF the remaining
forty-scvcn miles Of Ferket. and the
laying down Of light tramways at
Fatmeh and khalbar in order to avoid
the cataracts, would establish uninter-
rupted communication by rail ana
water between Wady Halfa, Dongola.
and Korti at any season Of the year.
lie adds. however, that any project Of
a perman. mt and continuous railway
would involve the necessity Of various
heavy cuttings. one il not more bridge
