being provided
about two-thirds of the Company's capital
provided by the Nassau Government in Four per
Cent, bonds, evoiy one pound per cent, added to the net re-
Salts of the traffic above four per cent, will add three per
tent to the dividend payable on the share capital ;. and
Third- That a dividend of at least seven per cent, per an-
hum is thus secured to the shareholders during construction.
The Nassau Railways will continue the Frankfort and Wies-
°Wen and the Wiesbaden and Rudesheim Lines from Rudes-
heim to the frontier of Prussia, opposite Goblentz. As the
Cologne Railway already open to Bonn and Rolandsworth is
being rapidly completed to Coblentz, the line of railway com-
munication between Cologne and Frankfort will thus be com-
pleted by the Nassau Company.
The annual traffic between these two points considerably
exceeds 1,000,000 passengers and 1,000,000 tons of goods.
The concession is for a term of eighty-four years; it in-
cludes a branch line up the Valley of the Lahn, which will
'art from Lahnstein on the Rhine, and extend to the eastern
frontier of the Duchy of Nassau, there to meet the Prussian
line from Giessen. The Lahn district is rich in minerals, and
ite existing trade is sufficient to supply a large and remunera-
tive traffic to the railway.
The first eight miles of this branch have been nearly core-
Pleted (from Lahnstein to Ems) by the Nassau Government.
The Company is to take possession of these works, and to pay
Per cent, on the sums expended by the Government, until
tePayment.
The Nassau Railway Company becomes possessed of the line
from Wiesbaden to Rudesheim on the terms accepted by the
general meeting of the former Wiesbaden Rahway Company,
that those Shareholders of the Wiesbaden Company who
have not exercised the option of exchanging their old 61.
%hares for an equivalent amount of Nassau 201. shares, will
receive interest at the rate of 4 per cent. during the construe
tiers of the works, and 5 per cent, after the opening of the
entire railway for traffic, but will not be entit'ed to any fur-
ther participation in the profits of the Company.
Shareholders in the Wiesbaden Company to the amount of
shout 40,0001. have elected to exchange their shares for shares
In the Nassau Company.
The Nassau Railways will thus comprise 120 English miles
of railway, consisting of the following sections :
Miles.

1. The Line from Wiesbaden to Rudesheim,
now open for traffic 2l
2. The Line from Rudosheim along the
Rhino, pa.ssing through Lahn stein to the
frontier of Prussia, opposite Cohlentz 40
3. The Line from Lahnstein to Ems, nearly

of the Lahn to the Prussian frontier
toward Giessen 5l

1* addition to the assistance afforded by the Guaranteed
12"11s the Nassau Government has granted many important
;'o_4•alltagee to the Company. For twenty-five years the
lands is released from the payment of any taxes. All
"''AS belonging to the State, and required for the Railway,
ltro given gratuitously to the Company, together with the
building materials thereon. Stone, gravel, kc., from the
Government quarries, are also placed at the disposal of the
Company free of charge.
The Rhine Railway will be constructed, like the Rudes-
"ila section, with a single line of way, and with the earth-
lifslits, bridges, &c., ready for a second line, when require 1.
The Latin Railway will have only one line of way, with the
requisite sidings.
The estimates of most competent engineers show a margin
of upwards of 120,0001., after fully providing for all that is
required for opening tho 120 miles of railway for full traffic.
These estimates are confirmed by the tenders of able and
experienced contractors of undoubted solvency, and have
b ale admen

Y ecuted.
