HOLLAND, TNR DUTCA RATLWATA, Pants, Jan, 10,—Tha Journal Ofictel of to-day publishes an interesting account of the Dutch rallways, the result ol the excursion of M. Christophle, the Minlster of Public Works, M, Wilson, and M. A. Waddington, Into Holland, ‘The present total longth of the lines fn that country amounts to about 1,460 kllometres, ‘Tha primitive network, the first lines of which wrero opened fn 1838, was conceded to two principal companies,—the ' company working tho Ime from Rotterdam fo the Hsgue, [Taarlem, and Amsterdam, canstructed at its own cost, and that from Haar. lem to Zaandam and Helder, constructed at the exnense of the State, and the Rhenlsh Company working their lines from the German frontler to Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and the Hague, Theso two companles have largely pas- ticipated ju the oxpenses of construction when not entlrely borne by them, and have a cousidler- ablo capital, which ennbles them to face all ne- cessities. Thelr grosa recelpts amount to 40,0001 per kilometre, which admits of thelr paylng thelr sharcholders a dividend of from 0 to 8 per cent. The second hetwork was constructed at the expenac of the State, and the working of it haa neen conceded to a company. The network consists of a line in tha Province of Zealand, fromn Rosendaal to Flushing, of a group in the centre and south of the Kingdom, and, lnstly, of & group In the north and east an nortieast, It was tho working of this system swhich seems to have chlefly Interested tho visit- ors; and naturally so, seeing that there can Tiavo been no other reason for inspecting, th Dutch railways, by »o mecaos distinguished for anything but their farming system. About thirteen years ago, when the new network was fu courss of consfruction, the State, nirald of buraening {tself with too much admlufstration, decided, on nceepting tho offer of a company, to farin 14 for Aty yeara, the Governmient rescry- lrig the right ol revising and evon of uuwclllnfi tha contract at the end of each decennial period. To tho other companles of thould network were also conceded somo clehity kilometres of the new lines. The princl- al conditlons of the concessions wero that the B\l\m handed over to the Compauy the line o working condition, with the buildivia and fixed ml\terlfl. the Comunny suppiying the roiling- stock, signals, furniture of ‘tho stations, and other amaller material. The malntenance of the lines Iy with the Company, the extension of the lines with tha Stato, as well o8 reparation of injury to vis major. 'The revenue of the linea waa to be shared with the State only when the mean gross kilometric recoipts sxcceded nbout 8,000 tlorins, When this llmit wos possed the Company_ rcceived o fractlon of tho rofits, diminlshing with the increass of Blu gross rcceipts AU the rost wis divided, oucifth to the Company and four-fifths to the State, The minlmuin number of tralns, the delays of transports, and the limits of the tari(ls were fixed by law. The Guvernment raserved to {tself the right to exact the lowering of the tar{ffa. These conditions were, however, soon found to be fallaclous, It was not to tha interest of the cnm;xlny to in- creaso thagrosa recipts. During four out of thie thirtecn veara tho lincs have been at work there has been no dividend, and tho Stato has not, on an average, obtained I per cent on vapf- tal lafd out. In consequence of this, Jaat year tho conditions wera revised und eiapged in’ the following mavner: On the gross recelpts, 00 florins fov singla lines and 1,000 florins for double lhes were to bo de- ducted and regerved for the muintenance of the lines, This will coase when the fund has 1,000 flarins per kilometre to credit. Tho rest of the gross recelpts were to be distributeil, 80 per cent ta the company and 20 per cent to tho State, unfoss the total contributions to the fund o maintenunco were below 4,800 florins, when tha coampany was to retaln the wholo Rross vrofit, Wil.m.ho new machinery It #s hoped in Holland that the profits to the sharcholders will not descend below 4 per cent. The Stato can for somo ycargonly expect 1 per cent on her capital, but later it is cortaln of larger compensation. ‘The report terminates with commenta as to the failuro of tho system, retharking on the delavs of goods tratlic, the ludireet fourneys, the bad service, and the general Inconvenience to travel- ors, and deprecates any attempt to intreduco the system into France, 9 FRANCE.
