_florin_ (2s.), and its divisions into sixty _kreutzers_. If he travels north-east, to the few miles of railway yet existing in Poland, he will have to pay in _rubles_ (3s. 3d.) and _kopecks_, which rank at 100 to the ruble. On the little Zurich and Baden Railway, the only one yet in Switzerland, our traveller meets again with his old acquaintance the _franc_; but this is worth 14-1/2d., instead of 9-1/2d., and, moreover, it is divided into ten _batzen_, each of which is worth ten _rappen_. If he crosses the Alps to Austrian Italy, he finds that his fare is reckoned in Austrian _lire_ (about 8d.) In many cases, the different states take money from _through_ passengers in the coin of either country; but the traveller who makes frequent stoppages, soon finds the embarrassment of the different moneys. A railway has lately been completed from Dresden to Prague--the capitals of the two kingdoms of Saxony and Bohemia--along the banks of the Elbe; it is no great distance, and yet the fees north of the frontier are charged in _thalers_ and _neu-groschen_, while those south of it are in _florins_ and _kreutzers_. There have been very busy and important railway enterprises agreed upon or discussed within the last year or two, in various parts of the continent, which augur favourably for the future of Europe. We shall shortly pass these in review, to shew what may possibly be the aspect presented by the 'Continental Bradshaw' in 1862.
