This Issue of preference shares was unanimously approved at a
meeting of English shareholdera. held at Guildhall Coff.•e-house, on
the 14th February last. The effect will he to complete and open the
line this spring, at a eost of less than 13,0001. per mile ; and, as it is
a continuation of the prosperous Taunus Railway front Frankfort,
and thence reaches a convenient landing place oppos to Bingen, at
the point wiser the lifilculties of the Rhine navigation begin to be
most serious, there can be no doubt as to its profitable traffte. or as
to the security offered by the preference shares, The Rhine Railway
bas obtained the concession end 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 vierbaden Railway the direct route
from Cologne to Frankfort, and it will thus become the connexion
between the existing trenk lines of North and south flermany. when
It is continued to Lahns•etn. For the present the company has
thought it best, and dt the circumst ,noes of tin ncial pressure, to
limit its exertions to the first highly profitable section. The line is
already completed to Mosbach, Schierstein, Niederwallete Eltville,
and Erbach, and the works on the remaining portion 01 the line are
so far a tv.tnced as to le ,ve no doubt of its prompt completion for the
sum now sought to be raised.
By order .1 the Council.
