The most important features in this undertaking are the
following
First—That twenty miles of the Railway are already open
for traffic, and eight more are nearly completed.
Second—That about two-thirds of the Company's capital
being provided by the Nassau Government in Four per
Cent, bonds, every ono pound per cent, added to the net re-
sults of the traffic above four per cent, will add three per
rent, to the dividend payable on the share capital ; and
Third— That a dividend of at least seven per cent, per an-
num is thus secured to the shareholders during construction.
The Nassau Railways will continue the Frankfort and Wies-
baden and the Wiesbaden and Rudesheire Lines from Rude's•
helm to the frontier of Prussia, opposite Goblentz. As the
Cologne Railway already open to Bonn and Rolandsworth is
being rapidly completed to Coblentz, the lino 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 lino up the Valley of the Lahn, which will
start 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
its 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 com-
pleted (from Lahnstein to Ems) by the Nassau Government.
The Company is to take possession of these works, and to pay
4 per cont, on the sums expended by the Government, until
tepaysaent.
The Nassau Railway Company becomes possessed of the lino
from Wiesbaden to Rudesheim on the terms accepted by the
general meeting of the former Wisebaden Railway Company,
viz., that those Shareholders of the Wiesbaden Company who
have not exercised the option of exchanging their old 61.
shares for an equivalent amount of Nassau 201. shares, will
receive interest at the rate of 4 per cent. during the construc•
tion of the works, and 5 per cent. after the opening of the
entire railway for traffic, but
fur-
ther participation iu the profits'ill not be entitled to any
of the Company.
Shareholders in the Wiesbaden Company to the am
alma 40,0001, have elected to exchange their sharesfoorusnhtaroefs
in the Nassau Company.
Tho 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 Rudesheim along the
Rhine, passingthrough Lahnstein to the
frontier of Prussia, opposite Coblents 40
3. The Line from Lahnstein to Ems, nearly
completed
4. The Line from Ems through the Valley
of the Lahn to the Prussian frontier
toward Giessen..

, 51

Total l2O miles.
In addition to the assistance afforded by the Guaranteed
Bonds, the Nassau Government has granted many important
Advantages to the Company. For twenty-five years the
Railway is released from the payment of any taxes. All
hinds belonging to he State, and required for the Railway,
aro given gratuitously to the Company, together with the
building materials thereon. Stone, gravel, Icc., from the
Government quarries, are also placed at the disposal of the
Company free of charge.
The Rhine Railway will be constructed, like the nudes-
beim section, with a single line of way, and with the earth-
works, bridges, he., ready for a second line, when require I.
The Lahn Railway will have only one lino of way, with the
requisite sidings.
Tho estimates of most competent engineers show a margin
of upwards of 120,0001., after fully providing for all that is
required for opening the 120 miles of railway for full traffic.
These estimates sire confirmed by the tenders of able and
experienced contractors of undoubted solvency, and have
been,
moreover, tested and proved by the cost of the works
already executed.
The official traffic tables show that, taking only the present
traffic in the Lahn Valley, and one-fourth of the traffic along
the Rhine, the receipts,ta of the Nassau Railway Company will
suffice, on this
moderate
llimrsate, to secure a dividend of 15
per cent. t• the Shareholders,
portion of the capital being ,in consequence of the larger
supplied in Nassau Government

nrco
'
of the most colossal and crushing political

the denun-
ciations of the Income Tax with which Exeter -hall
will ring to-morrow , and the inevitable result will
be, that before many days of the coming
session
have passed away—probably before the first bas
elapsed—we shall hear an announcement from
Ministerial lips, that a great modification of th,
cruel impost will be forthwith made. But in order
that there may be no mistake on this point, and
with a view to let Ministers know betimes, what
they have to expect from the people, s " ignorant
impatience" of this tax, what could be more appro-
priate than that Major Reed, as Chairman of the
Association, should announce to-morrow that he
will, on the very first day of the session, give
notice of a resolution on an early day, in favour of
a revision of the Income Tax, should Ministers
themselves make no sign on the subject I Such an
announcement from the gallant gentleman would
be received with such peals of applause as weie
never before heard within the walls of Exeter-Lall.
