This haue of preference shares was ananimortsly sprayed at a
Reeling of English shareholders, held at Guildhall Cane-house. on
the 14th February last. The effect will he to compl•te and o;•en the
line this spring, at a cost of I,ls than 13,0001. per mile; and, as It is
continuation of the prosperouf Taunts Railway from Frankfort,
and thence reaches a conven ent landing place oppos to Bingen, at
The Pohl where the difficulties of the Rhine 114,7hr:1110,1 begin to he
moot serious, there can be no doubt as to its prontat•le tratil t or as
to the security offered by the preference shares. The Rhin. Railway
!'as obtained the concession and formed its capital for extending Its
line to Coblentz, and erecting a railway b idge across the Rhine at
that city. This will make the 'vierbatlett hallway the direct route
~from Cologne to Frankfort, and it wit thus become the connexion
between the existing trank lines of North and South iiermany, when
it is continued to Lahnstem. For the present tie company has
l.hotieht it best, under the circumst maces of fin tidal pressure, to
limit its exertions to the fir:t profitable section. The line is
' already completed to Mosbach, Schierstein, Niederwallwf, Eltville,
and Erbach, and the works on the remaining portion of the line are
an far a 'yawed as to leave no doubt of its prompt completion for tile
Sabi now sought to be raised.
