The grat Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of
the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete as far as
Lemberg. The communication is effected by means of two
lines. The first being the Northern Railway, from Vienna
to Cracow ; the second, the Carl-Ludwig Railway, from
Cracow to Lemberg.

The first of these lines pays shout 14 per emit. upon its
capital. The second was completed only at the cud of 1861.
but since its opening has paid 8 per cent. upon its capital, and
consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5
per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian Government.
The present line is the eoutineetinn from Lemberg to
Czernowitz, near the Moldavian frontier. The concession has
been granted by the Austrian Government on terms un-
usually favourable to the company undertaking it.
The proposed railway, enter ng into the heart of the grain
and cattle-producing district whence the Carl-Ludwig line
obtains its most important traffic, and being constructed at a
very considerably less cost, promises to be more profitable
than its neighbour.
The continuance of the line through Mo davia to Galatz,
on the Danube 4for which a concession has recently been
granted by the Chambers of the Prircipalitics), must nes-
sarily add lareely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowitz
Railway, which will thus form an intezral cart in an un-
broken and direct railway communication between the Baltic,
the German Ocean, and the Black Sea.
The concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti-
pulates for the commenc,ment of the works previous to the
tith January, 1E,65, and for their completion within three
years ; but provision is made for extension a these periods
in ca-e of political or flaancial crisis.
The Government guarantee a fixed sum of £150,000 in silver
money as a net annual revenue of the line.
The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, alter pro-
viding for the payment of interest (at v 5
per cent. On the
Bonds, and for an annual sinking fund, will leave a elear 7 per
cent. applicable to the share 'capital. The sinking fund will
be annually applied.by lot to the redemption of the Bonds
and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, from
time to time, redeemed will, for each 'share, receive a certifi-
cate entitling the bearer to a participation, during the re•
maining term of the concession, in all the profits of the Com-
pany exceeding 5 per cent. on the original capital.
A contract, which wilt be adopted by the Company, has
been entered into by the concessionaires with Mr. Brassey
for a sum of £2,450,000.
This contract provides for the construction of the rat way
in accordance with the terms of the concession, and for stock-
ing the same with r. 'ling stock. It includes all the preli-
minary expenses of acquiring the concession and forming
the Company ; it makes provision for interest during con-
struction on paid-u 2 capital at the rate of 6 per cen . per
annum; and it covers an ample reserve for the expenses
of management until the railway shall be opened for public
traffic.
The concession confers the requisite
power to form a So-
ciete Anonyme with Shares to bearer, whereby the liability
of the subscriber will be limited to the amount of 25 per
cent of the nominal amount of their Shares.
The capital of the Societe Anon
Yrne mill be £2,450,000; to
be issued, X1,20:',030 in Bonds, and £1,250,00 in Shares of
£2O each.
