Dear Sins :—I enclose you a printed copy o f a report received a few days since from the Chev. alier Do Gerstner, who is now engaged in ma ■ king a thorough examination of the Rail Roads atjfd their expenditures in the United States. After a careful analysis of the various expenses of conducting transportation on Rail Roads in the United States—he states the gratifying fact that their average annual net revenue is 5J per ccn t. —This result, when the number of unprofita ble lines that have been executed is considered, cannot hut be encouraging to the friends ofinter nal improvement in general, and particularly to those who have invested their funds in a work acknowledged hy all to possess a good location. Your publication of the report or extracts from it may interest many of your readers. Yours, truly, J. EDGAR THOMSON. RAIL ROADS TV THE KINGDOM OF BELGIUM COMPARED WITH THOSE IS THE UNITED STATES. The rapid increase of Internal Improvements in the United Stales has excited for several years public attention in Europe, and the friends ol those improvements desired very much a detailed report on the extent and progress of those works, and particularly of Railroads. There is no such report published in the United Stales, and even those published in England, France, and Germa ny are very imperfect. In 1824 I had charge of the first Railroad on the continent of Europe to connect the rivers Mohlau and Danube in Austria, by a line whicli is 130 miles long, and since 1832 in operation. 1 constructed in 183 G and 1837 the first Railroad in Russia, from St. Petersburg to Zarskoc-Selo and Pawlowsk, a line of only 17 miles in length, but tiic coramencementofa Railroad of 420 miles from St. Petersburg to Moscow. This Railroad being likewise in full operation, I left Europe lull fall and arrived in the Great Western on the 15 th of November, 1838. at New York. Altera short stay of a few days I went to Albany and in spected all Railroads between that place and Lake Erie; I then proceeded to the Eastern States and visited all Rail,*ads in Massachusetts, and w’ent via New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, through Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, to New Orleans, always visiting the Railroad linos in the different States. I went then up the Mississippi and Ohio, and am now inspecting the Internal Improvements of the Western States and some of those in Penn sylvania, which I have not yet seen. I have already pased over more than 2000 miles of Railroads, and have every where been receiv ed with the greatest kindness; the Presidents, Di rectors and Engineers of the different Railroad lines gave me nut only all their printed reports, but laid before me, with the grtnitest liberality, their books and accounts, in order to give me ev ery kind of information. I fulfil only my duty when I publicly acknowledge, that such a liberal ity is only to be found amongst a free and en lightened people, where all public works are based on the principle of publicity, and where sccretsdo not exist. 1 wish, therefore, to make those gen tlemen, to whom I am so much indebted, anoth er communication, which will show at the same lime what has been done during the last years in Europe. Having within a few days received the last Reports of the Belgium Railroads, I publish in the following abstract the history and progress of those communications in Belgium, together with a comparison of them with the American Railroads. According to the facts collected during my since rny arrival in New Y ork, there arc now over three thousand miles of Railroads com pleted and in operation in the United Stales,- 425 locomotives, of which the greatest number were made iu this country, run on the several Railroads, and I believe, that up to the end of 1839, the length of Railroads in the United States may amount to 41 It) miles. The capital expended on the Railroads now in operation is about sixty millions of dollars, or at an average cost of twenty thousand dollars per mile, for whicli sum the Railroads, with the buildings, have been constructed, and the necessary locomo tives and cars bought. Several Railroads have been undertaken with insufficient means, and the shareholders found themselves under the necessity of employing the income of the first years in improving the Rail road, in building engine houses, &c., and purcha- sing locomotives and oars. In consequence ofj this the shareholders got during that time no divi- j dends, but the Railroad still yielded a good in- i come. Other Railroads, when finished, paid from five to ten per cent, income to the stockholders ; others have not yet paid any dividends for want of a sulficient number of passengers and h eight. The average result of the Railroads now in oper ation in the United States is, that they girt a yearly interest of five and a half per cent, on the capital invested. This result must he regar ded as very satisfactory, because the greatest part j of the lines have only been a few years in opera tion. On all lines there, is a yearly increase of at least 13 to 20 per cent, in the gross income, so that even those lines which do not pay now will give in a few years a handsome dividend. According to these statements, based on the communications collected in this country, I have no doubt, that the large capital invested in Railroads, in the United States, will not only produce an incalcu lable benefit to the country, but likewise pay the shareholders a dividend, which under good man agement, by the constant progress in population and trade, must likewise from year to year in crease. A good book-keeping and clear accounts is in every business a matter of importance; Railroads arc now constructions, and experience, particu larly in working them, is still very much wanted. When the Superintendent of a Railroad in oper ation keeps clear and distinct accounts, he will in a few years learn by experience what can he improved, and which items of expenses can be reduced. The following statement contains the manner of making the Railroad accounts, which in my opinion must prove very useful for every Railroad Company. 1. History, length and cost of construc tion of the Belgian Railroads. The Railroads which up to the present time have been constructed in England and on the continent of Europe, had no other object than to connect two important places of the country, and in constructing them, therefore, only a local in terest more or less prevailed. That Railroads are to be considered us great thoroughfares, that they can form in a country the principal lines of internal communication—that, therefore, the means for their establishment should he such, as only can be raised by a whole nation, nobody in Europe would maintain previous to the year 1834, and is even now denied by many individuals of high standing and influence. Belgium united with Holland since 1815, had distinguished itself in Europe, by its fine roads, and magnificent ca nals ; the latter, being constructed for the greatest part in a level country, and without locks, were used not only for the transportation of goods, hut also for passengers, especially the lower classes, which there, more than in any othei country, made use of the canal boats for their travels. It is evident, that no individuals would ever have attempted to construct Railroads parallel and in opposition to such canals and turnpike roads. In the year 1830, Belgium declared itself in dependent of Holland, and elected by the repre sentatives of the nation its own sovereign. King Leopold I. soon discovered, that the country, for its perfect tranquility, wants “labor”; a series of wise legislation encouraged the nation to useful and profitable enterprizes, and every person with talent and inclination found employment and earnings in a country, which isolated from all its neighbors, was confined to its own resources.— But to gain the public opinion, a great national work was to he accomplished by the new govern ment, able to fill posterity with admiration. The time was past for Egyptian pyramids, for Roman triumphal arches, and French monuments ol war. A more useful monument, one of peace and in telligence, should remind the nation ofthat event ful period. The King ordered the whole coun try to be surveyed by able Engineers, the neces sary plans and estimates formed, and on the first of May 1834, a law was proclaimed, according to which a system of Railroads should he introduced through the whole kingdom, and executed at the. expense of the State on two points (at Antwerp and Ostend), the Railroads were to lead to the seaports, on two points to connect with France, and on one point with Prussia (Germany). The news of the gigantic work, undertaken by a State, even not yet acknowledged as such by the northern powers, and with only four millions of inhabitants, excited the greatest surprise in Europe, and few only could conceive the great results, which this grand project necessarily pro duce on the independence of the nation and its internal we!fire, its commerce and industry ; the former being the principal aim and the promotion of commerce and industry a subordinate one, al though the great mass of the people were unable to comprehend the grand idea ofthe plan. King Leopold found in his former minister of public works, Mr. De Theux, and in his success or M'. Nothomb vigorous supporters. The En gineers were vying in the swift prosecution of the work, and in the course of four years more has been done than was expected. The enlightened minister Nothomb published annual reports to the Legislative Assembly, besides other special re ports of the progress of the works, in which the public in Europe find a rich source of experience, not to ho met with in any report or work on the subject. Europe has to render thanks to the King, who the first realized such a grand idea, and to his enlightened mini ter, who judiciously con ducted the work, and so liberally communicated its results. The limited space of this report docs not allow a detailed extract from the above mentioned re ports ofthe minister Nothomb and the Engineers, I shall therefore only give a brief account contain ing the results in numbers, and afterwards com pare these results with those of Railroads in the United States. The following table contains the sections ofthe Railroads which were opened until the end of 1838, and their lengths in me'trcs and English miles. [Here follows a statement of all the Railroads already constructed in Belgium, the first of which was completed sth May, 1835; and the last, 28th August, 1838, making 159 miles in all.] According to the report, made by the minister to the house of Representatives, on the 26th No vember 1838, the above ten sections including buildings, locomotives and ears cost 34,000,000 francs; this gives per mile of Road 41,300 dollars. The Railroad from Brussels to Antwerp, 27.2 miles, has a double track, the remainder are con structed only with a single track, the rails weigh ing 45 lbs.per yard. But there are several build ings yet to he erected, and different works on tiie line to he executed, and besides a number of freight cars to bo provided for, &c.; with all this the cost per mile will amount to 45,000 dollars, i Tariff for Passengers, Speed. —There arc on | the Belgian Railroads four classes of passenger cars, differing only in elegance and comfort, but t going in the same train, and therefore with equal \ velocity. The prices are: In the Berlines, cts pr m.*] For each i “ Diligences, 2 “ “ “ ;(Fassenger “ Chars a'Bancs, 1 J “ “ “ [ with 44 lbs “ Wagons, 0.8 “ “ “ J baggage. 1 The trains perform at an average 17 English | miles per hour, all stoppages included, or from 30 j to 116 miles while running. In 1838 the total number of passengers amoim- I ted, according to the “Moniteur Beige,” to 3.238,- 1 303, romprising 56,618 soldiers,and the gross in come was 3,100,833 francs 40 centimes (581,770 dollars). As the average distance performed by each passenger in the first 10 months of 1838 is not mentioned in the Report of the Minister, I supposed the income per passenger per mile to he the same as in 1837, out of which results an average distance of 22.8 miles. In order to show how the travelling public made use of the differ ent classes of cars, the following contains the number of passengers in each class of cars, and the revenue resulting therefrom for the year end ing 31st December 1838. During this period there were 17,503, passengers, Ist class, who paid 69,322 francs 65 centimes ; 215,893 pas- i sengers, 2d class, who paid 702,502 francs 70 centimes ; 604,935 passengers 3d class, who paid 1,033,953 francs 05 centimes; 1,343,354 pas sengess, 4th class, who paid 1,087,790 francs 45 centimes ; 56,618 soldiers, who paid 45,248 francs 88 centimes ; for overweight of baggage, and freight, 162,015 francs 67 centimes ; 2,238,- 303 passengers, and total income, 3,100,833 francs 40 centimes. These numbers explain sufficiently that the Railroads in Belgium arc used principally by the lower classes of the people. Comparison between the gross income and the nett revenue. The following table contains the annual gross income, current expenses and the surplus of in come over the expenses, as is related in the Re port of the Minister of the 26th of November, 1838, to which is annexed the annual surplus lor every 100 francs of the gross income.

This surplus serves as interest and a sink ing fund for the capital. Comparison of the Belgian Railroads with those in the United States. According to Table under No. 3, the number of passengers during years, reduced for the length of one mile, amounted on the Belgian Railroads to 88,981,763, or at an average per year of 25,423,361. As the average length of road in operation during the whole time was 53,1 miles, we have 478,783 through passengers annually. The Belgian Railroads are therefore travelled over on their whole length by nearly 500.000 passengers per year. We have now the following comparison : Ca.J Cost of Construction. — A mile of Railroad with a single track, and the necessary buildings and outfit, costs in America 20,0110 dollars ; in Belgium 41,300 dollars, or more than twice the amount. fb.J Tariff. —On the American Railroads, a passenger pays at an avenge 5 cents per mile, on the Belgian Railroads, only 1 cent or five times less; foi freight the charge is, in America, at an average cents per ton per mile. (~ c._) Speed. —On the American Railroads, passengers are conveyed with a speed of from 12 to 15 miles per hour, stoppages included; on the Belgian Roads at the rate of 17 miles, or stop pages not included, at the rate of from 20 to 25 miles. f d.J Traffic. —There are at an average, 35.000 through passengers, and 15,000 tons of goods carried annually over the American Roads; on the Belgian there have been carried per year 478,783 through passengers, and the transporta tion of goods only commenced a short lime since. fe J Gross income. — The same amounts on the American Railroads, at an average per mile per year. From 35,000 passengers at 5 cents, §1750 From 15,000 tons of goods at cents, §1125 From mail and contingencies, §2OO Total, §3075 On the Belgian Railroads the gross income per mile from 478,783 passengers, and the transpor tation of freight amounts to 32,000 francs or 6003 dollars 75 cents per year. f f.J Expenses per mile of travel. —These amount on the American Railroads to 1 dollar, on the Belgian Roads to 1 dollar 5 cents, or they are the same in both countries. CK-J Number of 'passengers per trip. —ln Belgium there were in each train, at an average of 31 years, 143 through passengers; on the American Roads, a passenger train contains only 40 through passcugeis, atari average. (~h.J Number of trips per year. —ln divid ing 35,000 by 40 wc obtain 875, as the average number of passenger trips per year on the Amer ican Railroads; and in dividing 478,783 by 143 we get 3348, which represents the average num ber of passenger trains passing annually over the Belgian Roads. As at the same time the speed on the latter is greater than on the Amciican Railroads.it was necessary to employ rails of 45 lbs. per yard, while their weight is generally less on the American Railroads. fi.J Expenses per passenger per mile. — These are in Belgium only 0.73 cents, and in America 2J cents, or limes more. The rea son of it is, that the American trains contain 3) times less passengers, while the expenses per train per mite are c<}ual in both countries. It is very nearly the same for a Locomotive to carry 40 or 143 passengers in a train. (" k.J Annual current expenses. —ln Ameri ca the annual current expenses for working a Railroad, arc per mile, For transportation of 35,600 passengers, at 2.) cents. §875 For transportation of 15,000 tons of goods at cents, §975 For transportation of the mail and other expenses, $lOO Total, §1950 Or 63 dollars 41 cents of every 100 dollars gross I income. On the Belgian Railroads, of every 100 \ dollars gross revenue, the expenses are 65 dollars 59 cents, or per year per mile 3937 dollars 86 cents. CI- J Interest on the capital invested. —ln | America the annual average gross income, per j mile of Road, amounts to 3075 dollars, the an nual current expenses to 1950, leaving I 125 dol lars, which compared with the cost of a mile of | Road (20,000 dollars,) give percent, interest, j j On the Railroads in Belgium, the annual gross 1 j income per mile, is 6003 dollars 75 cents, the ex- ; i penses 3937 dollars 86 cents, leaving 2065 dol- ; Jars 89 cents as interest on the cost of 41,300 dollars per mile, or exactly 5 per cent. General Remarks. The comparison of the results of the Belgian Kail roads with those of the Railroads in the Uni ted Slates ol America, speaks evidently in favor ot the first. The extremely low charges for pas sage on the Belgian Railroads has increased the number of passengers in an unparalleled degree, and produced an intercourse not attained in any other country of the world. While the higher prices in the better classes of ears yield a considerable profit, the price in the last class or for the great mass of the people, is so low that it almost only covers the expenses. The Belgian Railroads arc, therefore, throughout a I'rcnl pop ulur, democratic establishment, which must have found the approbation of the people and every intelligent man ; the Belgian Railroads afford to the government the greatest facility in the trans portation of troops, the importance of which was evinced principally for the last years; the Bel gian Railroads yield, in conformity with the grand idea of their establishment, only the in terest and sinking fund of their capital, hut the ‘"'late Treasury has, by the increase of intercourse, indirectly gained in all taxes, in the revenue from tolls on turnpike roads and from tire mail; the most important gain, however, was that kept in view by the great founder of these roads, to bring the nation into a more, intimate contact, and to form of it one large family, on which the actual national device: "I,’Union fait la force," (“Un ion gives strength,”) becomes realized.
