If we remember right, he ac- tually was tin Paris at or a>out the tims, and may have poor with his own eara Mirabeau hurl- ing defiance at the Court, and seen Danton ani Robespierre whispering to’ each other that thoir time was not yet come. Let us go back to other events as stat of admeasuremént. As the war ot the French Revolution and that agaiast Napoleon Bona- geste wae episodes in the ripe manhood, so was the rican war an episode in the boyhood of Rogers. He was of es to appreciate the grandeur, if not the po- litical meaning of events, when Rodney won his naval victories aud when Geueral Eliist successfully defended Gibraltar. He could remember our differences with our American colonies, and the batiles of Bunker’s Hill, Brandywine and Germantown, as wellas a man now ia manhood can remember the threo glorious days of July and the Polish insurrection. To have lived in the days of General Washington, and to have heard “discussions as to .the propriety of admitting the independence of the North American Provinces, ‘and to have been alive but pestering, seems well nigh an imporsibility; but such was case of Bamuel Rogers. When he his eyes upon the world, that great and powerfal country which is now known ae the United States of North America, wis but an ficant dependence of the mother country—a sometbing not 20 important as the Antilles, even ia their forforn condition, are at the present mement. They were just rising: to be somewhat of a little more slgniticanse than the “ plantations” to which Defve smugzied off the troublesome characters in his fictitious tales. They now constitute one of the most powerful States in the comity of nati‘us. Let us take another test—that of our Indian empire. But three or four years betore the birth of the subject of these remarks Colonel Clive fought the battle of Plassy, and lid the foundation of it. He lived through the government of India by War- ren Hartiogs, and, being in London at the time, could well understand the discussions which took place upon the subject of the India bill. Tne battle of Aavaye found him » man forty yeara of age. He was in fall possession of his faculties when Lords Hardii and Govgh won their victories in Nosth-wesiern India, but the other dey. It would be superfiuous to lay before our readers apy contrast between the dates of other political events at which this remarkable man must have assisted, at least a an intelligent spectator. Let them carry back their minds to the days of Wilkes and ths Duke of Graf- ton, and remember but the mere namea of the atates- men who have administered the alfairs of the country from that time to the present, and they will have pre- tent to their reoollection a list of the associates and friends of the late Mr. Rogers. As might be expected, his more intimate associations were naturally with the leading men of the liberal part y, but such was his cour- tesy of temper and of manner that he was received upon a trieudly footing even by these with whom he was known to differ on points of polltical principle. A mere politician he never was at any period of his career. It is, however, to the literary history of the centucy we must mainly look for correct appreciation of Roger's career. He not only outlived two or three generations of men, but two or three literary styles. The Poet of Memory, as he has been calied, mast not be rashly Judged by the modern student, whose taste has been tly exalted partly vulgacizcd, by the performances of ter writers—we are speaking of a contemporary of Dr. Johnson. Rogers must have been a young man some twenty years old whea the great lexicozcapher died, and therefore a great portion ot Johnson’s wsitings mut have been to him contemporary literature. Let those who are inclined to cavil at the gentler inspira. tioas of Rogers, think for a moment upon what English poetry was between the deaths of Goldsmith and Johnson and the Qgpearance of Walter Scott's frst great pom, Cowper redetms the solitary waste from absolute con- fiemnation as the most unfortunate epoch in our litera- ture. Rogers no doubt formed his style upon earlier models, but he was no servile copyist: he could feel, without any tendency to apish imitation, the beauties of su:h authors as Dryden and Pope. The poem by which ‘his name is principally knowa to the public will always remain a5 among the classical pieces of English lie. rature, whi'e some of his smaller poems will never ceare to hang in the memory of men while the English Isnguage is understood, This, however, is not the Proper 1) ce for entering upon any critical disquisi- tion as to the literary merits of the ramarkable maa who ‘has just terminated his long career. Our intention reaches no further than to call attention to the remark- able duration of bis life, and to pay » tribute of reapect to the memory of s man who richiy deserved it. Among the many remarkable points which may be mentioned in his career, considered as that of a literary man, the fact should be’ particularized that during the greater portion .of bis life he was a wealthy banker in the city of London, It must have been by an extraordinary combination of position, of intelleciual and social qualities of prudence nd of wisdom, that the same man who was the friendly rival of Byron, of Wordsworth and Scott, talked finance with Huskisson aud Peel upon equal terms, exchanged von mots with nd, and was the friend of all the eminent men and of many of the indigent and miserablo worn who flourished end suffered during three parts of a cen- tary. Such a man was Samuel Rogers. Paris Fashions. [From the London Court Journal, Dee. 8.] The fine weather we have been enjoying until now ha: retarded, by a fortnight at least, the frank and free adoption of heavy winter costume. The new materials still, therefore, are in the same undecided state as those ‘of last month. Silks of thick an rich fabric, gros do Lyons, figured with heavy designs in velvet or chenille, are still worn in preference to the Ronterce manufac- tures of cloth, bourre-de-soie, and velvet which have generally been seen before this period of the year. The newest stuffs are again those ited by Burty. They are.of the most magnificent description, and seem to hold with promise of immense recherché aud expenditure in the female toilet for the real Paris season, which can scarcely be said to commence till the middle of next month. These stuffs are all of moire an'ique, ateiped with abroad watered stripe of about six inches in wilth; ‘the intermediate space ix unwatered, and upon the ground is thrown up in the most: brilliant colors aome small pattern of thick semé, such as rosebuds, “orget: meé-nots”’ or strawberries; this lastis the favorite, and its success is not to be doubted. The effect of this entirely novel distribution of color has produced a sensa- tien, inasmuch as the efforts cf all our great directors of fashion have been turned of Is‘e to the keeping down of the brilliant¢ints which our fashionadles were gradaal- ty bxaggerating, almost to the exclusion of 5 and the problem has been resolvea by Burty in these de- signs, which may ag 6 be said to realize one’s idea of ar- tirtic’ perfection in the mixture cf solidity, grace and charm which they combine, The next novelty is the che. nille semi, which had never yet been tried. It is from Gagelin’s {abrique, but the ‘originality of the idea is dis. ufed, because Delile and others have fongago introduced lesigos in chenille upon thick tafeias, therefore the appli- cation of the invention is all for which we are indebted to Gagelin, but still the stuff hys a fauz air of novelty, and has been hailed as such by many who had already worn Delille’s beautiful fabrics all embroidered and embossed and covered with chenille of every colour and thickness. Plaids and checks have disappeared for awalle. There is an anticipation of their beiyg resumed after the New Year, founded on the vast quantities of stuffs of this na- ture which the manufacturers are sending from Lyons. For the present, however, theic disgrace is a fait accom- pli, and they have given place ta semes of all sorts, watch wehail with a tenderness of souvenir eomnected with the days of our yoath and the memory of our grandmothers. e dress worn by the Empress at the closing of the | Fahibition has given rise to #0 much disapproval, that we are almost ashamed to record our impressions’ con- cerning it, The whole costume was a failure, and therefore, from courtesy we abstain from mentioning the name of the couluri¢re to whom its execution ‘wos conficed. It was of rich velvet, neither cerise, nor nor dablia. This indecision of cdlor was al- ly q pel mistake, as it was rendered liable to be en- tirely effaced by the first bright frank tint placod near it. ‘The truth of this criticism was indeed so visible that, before her Majesty had reached the steps of the throne, ber head alone seemed to detach itself from the dra- and banners with which the passage to the throne was decorated, Then, for the first time, was observed a {want of distinction in the fall and movement of the skirt, which, considerably too full for velvet, completely dlaguised the exquisitely ae walk and bearing of her perial Majesty, and made her whole demarche appear rious and overburthened. The waist of the corsage wed also judged to» Jong, giving thereby a pinched and retrousee appentance 10 the bust, to which wo fod it hard to accustom ourselves, after ind éasy ald elastic car- . 7e we have been used to gave upon. Although wo do tot name the couturiere, yet wo think it but juatice due two hitherto successful artistes to declare that the iress was not made either by Madam» Vignon or by Veet Reger, to both of whom an invidious world has ‘ cribed it. Tne lace which adorned the dress was, how- ver, by way of compensation, erfection the work of man’s hand can ever be aup- yoned to ive, Tt was the work ot Lefebare, who hasat ength announced his discovery of the long lust secret of ‘he point ’e Venise, which has been sought now for thres wnturitsin vain, The embroidery in seed pearls and jamond specks, which adorned the corsage, and was in- ‘ently recognized as the work of Madame Bridaut, was iso bighty approved. We understand that ft was a mi- ate copy of that which ornamented the velvet cafran of ne Prince of Nepaul, and whish had been modellel at se time of his visit to Paris by Meurico Mayer. Sor tention is, at last, being bestowed on ball dress, before ws the list of the various materials impored upon the taste ot the fashionable ekers atter novelty. Firs of these must we mention @ gore de Piémont, first worn by the Dashess de sntebello & the ball given at the Hotel de } le to the King of Sardinia, This material is light aud in, although quite opaque.

Madame Barenne, with the firmaess and confi- dence in her own opinion which denotes the true arfive, persists 1n making the poanots to fit the head, and alt easily in her neck without faliing backwards on the shoulders, One of her dress caps sent to Queen Isabella was the t.eme of admirstion pared. our fashionab!es for some time after its exhibition. It was composed ot blonde, with bunches of scarlet salvia lying in most studied disorder all round the head, like # wreath just gathered from the garden, and tar au hazard upon the co- quettish little circle of blonde, complete in itself, and rendeved exquisite by the addition of the flowers.’ The corffeurs in broad ribbon @ la jardiniere have been also much admired; they form a half wreath, commencing a; the left ear, where the ribboo is quillel ov knotted narrow, and increasing in width as it crosses the head until it forms a cluster of con-ile- fulness on the porate side, from which depend two long ends which fall over’ the shoulder, Constantin has not lost his time during the month. Tho wreaths just completed for the Princess of Portugal hive Meme es the admiration of al Paris.

A band of the smailest of these bads crosses the iorehead and joins @ smaller rose with shortac tendrils, forming a most graceful and charming kin! of folle'ts on the other side. The great florist’s coifures @ la Clemence: chapeau d la Toulousaine are ala ost successful novelties.

Perhaps there nsver was invented a more ologan’ coif- fure than th It was first seen last month at the great concert at the Capitole, at Toulouse, where it was worn by the lady of the Hrefest as compliment to the city. Th» Clémence Isaure also originated on the sain ozcaston, and isthe most pvetical coiffure for a youthf.1 head which we have ever beheld. The hair is braided over the top of the head, and iaterminglea with a thia train- asse of violets, which continues to the back, whara it mixes with the chignon, and talls d>wn on either side in two large clusters, Nothing could be better imagined to show off the whiteness of the neck and shoulders than the deep pale color of the violet as it droops upon the skin, It has been hailed with the greatest enthusiasm, and the Empress bas chosen it as the cvilfure de préfer- ence for the portrait now painting for the Queen of Kng- land by Dubufe. Theemerald flowers just iavented arealso likely to have a great run amongst the high aristocracy to whom they are dedicated. The great expense of these flowers’ will preserve their distinction, as the smallest coiffure canuot be preduced under three or four hundred franes, We have seen several of these coif- fures most exquisitely arranged with white ostrich or marabout feathers. ‘The Duchess of Su‘horland has or- dered one for her Majesty Queen Vistoria, a cach: peigne with drooping plumes. ‘The Duchess o{ Brabant had one of the same description at the theatrical representation at St. Cloud, with a bandeau of emeralds and diamonds crossing the forehead, which was not thougat an im- provement on Constantin’s idea, and was, ia conse- quence, much criticised by the high authorities of fashion, - Our general observations:—We greatly fear that the game senseless and almost immoral extrav: oe in drees wil bring the same cause of regret censure this season which it has done now for two years past. No single effort seems to have been made by our manu- facturers to ki down expense, or to replace by thoss light and elegant fabrics for which we were once soremark- able, the moze costly materials, which should be worn by none but the very rich. “Even for youog people sian: plicity is no longer degnise. “In my white muslin”? said M’lle de Noailles, the other day, ‘I look by’ the side of the other young {adies in gold und silver tariatans as if I bad come to the ball in my petticoat without any dreis atall.” And the remark was true. No more freshness and exquisite unpretencing simplicity; all is fash and gewgaw. Unmarried ladies, to whom custom forbids the wearing of jewels, make up for the privation by sparkling ornaments of every other kind, so that a plain toilet ap- pears st once toean and poor when placed in comparison with all this glitter. Velvet bodies and jackets may be worn still, but they are no longer distingué, unless totally plain. Jet is entirely forbidden, it stamps at once both artist avd wearer as of secondary class, even embroidery and sowache are rejected. The most striking jackets wo have seen have in of the thiskest Angora, gray and white, wadded pigua and lined with blue or rosé coled satin, How sweet and fresh does a youthfal pretty face look peeping out from the fouillis occasioned round the throat bythe thickcess of the nap upon these Angora stuffs. These jackets are called a la teragaice because the best and finest material of the kind comas from the royal manufactory at Lisbon. Passementerte has become a species of fureur, and rivals in expense and rechérche the finest lace. The new pattern @ la M-xi- caine consisting of hundreds of minute tassels, one to each mesh of the netting, has, at the present moment, so much favor that the supply can hardly meet tha de- mand, and several of our first-rate couturicres have been arrested in the fulfilment of thir orders, Sometimes these tassels are of different colors, and tho effect is ver} curious and sparkling. Upon evening dress it tella weil for ditplay; but (perhaps we are too critical) wo tll chject to its want of distinction. Ribboas feem suddenly to have disappeared—no on can tell whither; and the bows, knote, and long ends, al the fuss ard flutter they occasioned, and which we con- demned so heartily while existing, and regret now that it is all departed, has given place to fiat passemanterte and gorgeous embroidery. Ribbons are decidedly passes de ‘mode, Our newest bonbon en attendant those of the new year is the Louchée Imperiale—noft chocolate filled with cream; our newest syrop for solrees, that extracted from fresh dates; our most fashionable drive ts not yet the Champs Elyseee, but the Cours la Keine, where the blackened rufus of the Manutention form a but de promenade; our most fashionable spectacle ts the Boulangere aur Keus; our most fashionable novel is La Fille du Renegat, au’ most fashionable romances are those belonging to the new album cf Clapisson.

Tuxspar Evesina, Des. 18, 1855. The Englith stock make, was weaker today, and c'osed at a decline of % to 34 per Gant. Withdrawals of bullion from the bank, the jess favorable tendency of tae continental exchanges, and the continued tightness of the money market, have combined to cause a reaction from yesterday’s improvement. The demand for mot to-asy was again very active, both in Lombard street an at the bank, and full rates were exacted. The pressure was partly occasioned by the final instalment of 10 per cent which fell due to-day upon the £16,000,000 loan, al- though this payment had been partially met in advance. ‘The opinion is expressed in many quarters, however, that the money market will remain tight during the remainder of the present month. Another con- siceration that has tended to weaken the funds is the apprehension that government eon- fomplate, a renewal of sales of stosk held by the Savings Banke. It will be remembered that, upon the issue of the proposals for the loan of £16,009,000 in April last, the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed t> abstain from any further sale of savings bank stock until the fa- Stalments upon the loan should be completed. Ho is there‘ore released from this engagement to-day. | This fact, coupled with the comparative emaliness of the Treasury balances at the Bank, rendera the deulers cau- tious. ‘Tbe powers possessed by government as regards the large mass of ‘stoek held by savings banks ate vory extensive. Any amount which the Chancellor of the Fxchequer may sell in the market he can easily replace ata time like the present, when the requirements of the war demand @ periodical creation of fresh government securities. It may be doubted, however, whether sound policy would dictate heavy salos from this source, in face of an approachirg national loan. At Paris to-day, the French funds closed at an improve- ment of 3; to 3 pereent. At Vienna the money market is,a shade better. The exchange on London is quot- ed slightly lower, at 10.45, whilst the premium on gold bas receded t9 1374 per cent, and that on silver to lL percent. At Amsterdam yesterday the Bourse was rather firmer, except for Russian stock, which was flat.

Thero has been a rather numerous attendance of merchants in tne cloth halls, Most of the principal buyes have been in the market, and an animated tone was generally preva- lent. Ths transactions have been of a more extensive character, but especially in the white cloth hall, where a marked improvement was manitost. Heppersitetp, Dec. 18.—Taere has been a better attend ance of buyers this morning, and altogether a better fee’- ing is manifested. The principal transactions have been in job lots and low priced steel mixtures and unions. There is no change of any moment ia wool. Mancuester, Dec, 18.—Cotton (00n3—There has besn a rather more active marke: for cotton clothe, bat the amount of bussiness transacted has not beea large, higher prices having been demanded. The advices from Chian are considered very favorable, both as regards exchanges ration; markets zen. and the pi t# of business, and shippers have bean in- quiring actively for the better makes of 40;inch shirtings, including 60, 64, and 66-reed cloths. Manufacturers, however, have asked ay much as 114d. and in some cases 8d. per proce advance, and this has had the effect of limiting “busines, Prin‘ers, aleo, have been active buyers of cloth suited to the home markets. There was nct so much business done for India as was expected, but some couriderable orders were in the market, the execu- tion of wi has been prevented by the demand of higher rate# In addition to more cheering accoun’s from foreign markets, an easier state of the meney market and the rumors ot peace, (though not much relied upon,) have haden effect in producing a better feeling. Men of consider- able experience regard affairs are in a much better positio than for some time past, though the complaints from ma- nufacturers and spinners, of unremunerative prices, are still very numerous. @ has been less business in yarns both by shippers and en account of manufactur- ers, but no change in prices. The suspension of large spinner and manufacturer at Firwood, near Middleton, Gir. James Cheetham, ) was mentioned on the Exrhange, And excited a good deal of surprise, The lowest sum named as the amount of liabilities, was £70,000, but there are various rumors on the subject, and it is probs- ble that the fact on this head will not be arrived a* until the balance sheet is laid before the meeting of creditors on Friday, It is feared that one or two smaller mana- facturers who were connected with the concern will be involved in the stoppage. eed FINANCIAL AND GOMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Sexpay, Jan 6—P. M. There bas not been much movement in the stock ma: ket, or much change in financial affaira since the com- mencement of the new year. A very steady movement exists in all departments cf finance and speculation, snd it will probably be some weeks before we shall lave much improvement in prices or in the demand for stock se- curities of any kind. All classes of merchants are anti- cipating @ very active season's business, and we are of the opinion that they will not be disappointed. Tho whole country is in a condition to give active employ” ment to every branch of industry. Tho manufacture and consumption of all our staples must be unusually large, and we see nothing in the futare calculated to impe le in the least the progress of most substantial property. ‘The Eurepean war will probably goon a good deal this year as it did last, with a great expenditure of mon and money, but we do not see that it can have any farther effect upon our great local interests than to keep them within gnfe and proper limits, and to prevent all attempts to rush headlong into wild speculation, If if has that effect it will be of vast service to the country, and our prosperity will become more firmly established, We axe at ail times in want of ome check upya out nterprice and extravagance, and the European war is probably as god as any other. It will do us more good than harm, It is reported that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and tho Nicgregua Transit Company have amalgamated, and will hereafter run in conjunction on both oceans. This is uot true. Nothing of the kind has been done, end nothing of the kind fs in contemplation. Mr. Van- derbilt has been appointed agent of the Nicaragua Tran- tit Company, and he will hereafter manage the line of ateamers on this side. It was fortunate for the company | that Mr. Vanderbilt was willing to resume his old posi- tion, for just at the time of his appointment the concern was much embarrassed by pressing demands, ani no- thing but the Commodore’s tact and ability saved it from serious diiliculties, It appears that about the time of the resignation of Mr. Morgan, as agent, claims amounting to about $70,000 were pressed eagerly for payment. At the Fame time large quantities of stock were pressed upon the market for sale. The object was evidently to embar- raas the company and depreciate the current value of its stock. In ita extremity, a,call was made upon Mr. Van- ¢erbilt, andhe promptly responded. But for his aid, the object the outside parties had in view would doubtless have been accomplished, and the company have been compelled, perhaps, to submit to serious sacrifices. We are in favor of a fair fight, and frequently like to be counted in, but we are decidedly opposed to hostilities when carried cn upon the guerrilla system. It was not a very shrewd stroke of financial policy, im leaving a sink: ing concera, to give it # kick by flood'ng the market with ita stock, for thus far ithas not been eucce:sfal. As that is pretty generally considered the vest point, we those immediately concerned will agree with us, that hopes are entertained that under Commodore Vanderbilt's admin- istration the affairs of the Company will improve, and its atock become # more profitable investment than it has been since his retirement. We want the entire concern remodeled, We do not want any $5,000 presidents, with no duties to perform, We want astive, intelligent, pru- dent business men, dnd no more of them than is actually required. The stockholders should at once give the Com- modore fw’ powers to cleanse the Augean stables, and make a thorough sweep of all drones, whose principal duty appears to be to call regularly for their aalaries. An advance in the market value of the stock, however com- fortable it may be for speculators, will not cause a cor- responding improvement in the actual value of the pro- perty. It requires judicious management, economy, in- dustry, energy, &c., and as the Company is pretty well provided with all the necessary elements in Commodore Vanderbilt and Joseph L. White, let the stockholders wait patiently for a time, and see what has been gained by a change in administration. ‘The earnings, expenditures, &e., of the Old Colony and Fall River Railread Company daring the fiscal year just closed were as follows:— From passengers during the year From ireight, &c. $418,931 49 + 234,567 83 Expenses, including interest, Net earnings. —which, on a capital of $3,015,100, ia over 9 per cent. The debt, bonds and floating, is $292,650, which is a re- duction on that of 1854 of $22,194 65; and there has been paid in part for a wharf estate in South Boston, purchased for the use of the road, $14,488 75. Beside which, the money which was borrowed to pay the dividend for Jan wary, 1855, has been all paid, and the company will pay the present January dividend without borrowing & 4o!a The anthracite coal trade is now pretty much confined to retail demand, which is very light. Tae tonnage by the Reading Railroad during holiday week was light. There was brought down, for the week ending, on Thurs- day, the Sd in-t., only 7,777 tons, making 108,192 tons from the first of the fiscal year, against 119,094 tons to the same time last year. Albert H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly sale of stocks and bonds will take place on Monday next, at 12% o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. William J. Bell & Co., No. 14 Wall atreet, have under- taken to pay the interest coupons on the bonds of the city of Milwaukee, issued to the Milwaukee and Horicon Railroad Compaay.

Take, for example, the chief road in this State—the New York Central. A thorough bu: « ness man owning this road would at once divest it of al non-paying branches, and confine its business to a direct line between two important points. If other pariles chose to build branches, very well; but he would preserve the trunk Jine from being overloaded with unproductive offzboots, | Now, iet us cee how the Central is situated in that ré- spect. Weay nothing of imaginary roads, bought up and incorporated at the period ot consolidation: we con- fine ourselves to existing branches actually in operation. At tho east end what do we find? A terminus at Albany, and one six miles above, at Troy. The line forks at Sche- nectady, making a branch to Troy, which, during all the years it was operated as an independent road, never paid expenses, but, on the contrary, rolled up an annual debt. It never will pay, an@ never can cease to be a blood- sucker upon the body of the Central road. Proceeding West, we find at Syracuse a branch to Oswego, leased in perpetuity, at 8 per cent, like the Troy and Schenectady road. This work never paid expenses. It will in future have the competition of a parallel wide guage track, laid dowa by the Syracuse and Binghamton Company, to connect with the Erie road. Evidently, then, the Syracase and Oswego branch is a leech, sucking out the life blood of the Centual by inevitable, 8 per cent dividends annually. At Syracuse, too, we encounter @ branch of 104 miles to Rochester, known as “the old roa3.’? This was the origi- val route, laid out cireuitously through Auburn, Geneva and Canandaigua, to gratify certain politicians and capi talista residing in those villages. At length, however, & “straight road” through Clyde, Lyous and Palmyra, became necessary, and is now a portion of the main or direct line, The ‘old road” is worked for the conve- pience of such way business as it may pick up. At Ro- chester a small branch runs to Charlotte— eight miles— which ia also under lease at 8 percent per annum. Its business is very trivial. At Rochester, also, the Central roads forks—one branch going via Batavia, 69 miles, to Buffalo, and another via Lockport, 76 miles, to Niagara Falla, Both these branohes sub-divide; the first throwing off a ehoot at Batavia to Attica, and the second one from Lockport to Tonawanda. And the Central has a perma- nent eight per cent lease of the Buffalo and Niagara Falls road, We give here the extent of these several branchca:-— Troy and Schenectady... Syracuse and Oswego... .. [dk es and Rochester, (old road) ‘hester and Charlotte, Rechester and Niagara Falla, Leekport to Tonawanda... Batavia to Attica Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Total length of branches, miles.......... 6.666664. 205 ‘The total length of the main line, from Albany to Buffa- lo, is 297 miles, Thus it will be seen that the track supporty an extent of dry and dead branches about equal to itself, ‘These characteristics of the N. Y. Gentral should be well considered by all persons disposed to take its stook as an investment, The side roads above mentioned, which it bas to carry, are so much dead weight. Ifone of them —the Rochester and Niagara Falls—pays raaning ex- penses, the rest will run in debt; while all will elsim their dividends; those held under lease receiving theirs, even though the main line should fail to make any return to its stockholders, We have taken the N. Y. Centrai as # prominent instance of this kind of railroad extrava- gance. It is by no means alone, however. Scarcoa large read inthe wountry but has, indulged in the” like ruinous cystem of dead and rotten branches. Mr. Joveph G.
