Reed of n. In paired off with Cotheron of a. The comparative profit of railroads in Europe and this country. The latest Railroad returns received from foreign countries com Ian d with the latest return of tint Railroad of the United state Lead to Tho unfavourable conclusion that while this country tosses be the most extensive system of Railroad in pro portion to its population it i also by far the worst Aud most fraudulently managed system and tin least profitable to its stockholders of any in the world. According to the latest authentic returns this country possess is no less than 26.000 Miles of completed Railroad or As near a Enn be calculated one nine of Railroad for every one thou Santl of it to mix Ion. Including All of the states West of the Misri in it Pic die amount of Railroad finished West of Liat nver being very Small Ami therefore not taken info the account there is a mile of Railroad to about every Dir to Square Miles of territory. Our own state a More Railroad to do Square mile than any other having a mile of Railroad to every six Miles of area and Massachusetts ranks next in this respect having one mile of Railroad to every six and a Lynw Miles of area. Next to these follow Ohio Widt thirteen Aud a half. New Hampshire with fourteen and a half new Jersey with seventeen Vermont new York Anil Pennsylvania each with eighteen. Indiana with Nineteen and in inti wit i Twenty mile of territory to every Nile of completed Railroad. Tote average Cost of All the railroads in the country in Bonds Ami Stock has been about forty to Tousand dollars it or mile making the aggregate Cost amount to die enormous total st,040,000.000.

The interest on Over 8145,000,000 of Railroad Lanula has also not been paid during the past year and on a considerable portion of the amount no More interest will Ever he paid. This is the present condition of the Railroad interest in this country in the aggregate a a profit laying investment to it stockholders and in the respect Quot it is to just about the suite footing Widt the manufacturing interest of new Grok Pennsylvania and n i a England viewed in the aggregate and it Tho present Era of their history. In great Britain and Ireland then Are 8,685 mile of completed Railroad or my mile of Railroad to every 3.000 of population and every 14 Square mile of area. In England alone there Are 6.884 Miles of Railroad or one Nile to every 2,500 in population and every nine Square Miles of area.

Same of diem live Cost Over 81,000,000 per mile. Of die whole Cost $387,000.000 Haa lion raised by loan or ito mls $265,000,000 by inuic.? of preferred Stock and the remainder by Ordinary Stork . Tie common Stork or share capital amounts to 67 Jar Centof the whole Cost.

This remit Speaks Well for the value of this kind of property in great Britain a an investment showing on the whole dint it is managed with great prudence and honesty. And that Tho average net dividend on the common capital Stock b already nearly equal to that yielded by the British Consols with the Prospect of a regular and considerable incr a a for the future.
