The Railway for which this Company has obtaine da concession, will
join the main Belgian line from Charleroi to Namur and Liege, at
some point near or between the two former towns, and will run
throxigh the whole province of Luxembourg, in the Direction of
binant, Neufchateeu, and Arlon, to Luxembourg, with an extension
to Thionville and Metz, at which latter city it will join the Paris and
Strasbourg Railway. The Whole will be about 140 miles in length.
It will thus unite all the Belgian railways with those of Franco ; and
if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, from
Belgium to Lille, Valenciennes, Dunkirk, and Calais be examined, it
Will be seen that the Luxembourg Railway will thus form by far the
shortest, and, consequently, the quickest and cheapest route from
those countries, and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Rhenish
Prussia, the Rhine (South), Baden, Wurtemburg, and the other im-
Dortant districts of the North-East and East of France, and of the
South of Germany, and also to the Eastern parts of Switzerland
and Italy, At its northern extremity, this railway must receive
a large proportion of the immense goods' traffic proceeding from.
Holland, Belgium, and the other countries north, by the river Meuse
and the Belgian railways and canals which centre in that district
trona .Antwerp, Ostend, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, and other Belgian
Provinces, and join those of' Frante on one side, and on the other
those of Germany and Holland ; thus forming continuous lines of
Communication with them all. Looking next to the south, a railway
Bs to be made (as a branch to the Paris and Strasbourg Railway)
from Metz to the extensive coal-field at Sarrebruck, and another is
Projected to 31anhelm, on the Rhine. At Thionville and Metz, the
Luxembourg line will meet the large passenger and goods traffic on
the Moselle, to and from the Rhine at Coblentz, which the establish-
latent of steamers on the Moselle, is daily and rapidly increasing.
Much of the great transit trade now going by the Rhine through
Holland is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais,
in consequence of the great difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending
the Rhine between Strasbourgh and Bale.
There is likewise a considerable local traffic In passengers and
Roods in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu-
merous fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine,
',pines of every descriptioniron, copper, lead, manganese, antimony,
Ile.; rock-salt, limestone, plaster, slate quarries (which supply the
whole province, and export to a large extent to other countries)—and
they contain numerous tanneries, salt-works, and all the smelting
_and other establishments to which mineral productions give rise.
There are 28 blast-furnaces in the province of Namur, and 41 in
that of Luxembourg, which all draw iron-ore from the Luxembourg
131111 es. Besides the local consumption of iron, about 70,000
tens
, are annually exported. On the other head, Luxembourg
Ilnports from Belgium large quantities of glass, manufactured
Roods. colonial produce, spirits, zinc, marble, and building-stone,
Coal. Sec. The importation of coal from the Belgian coal-field, at the
.01211 end of the line, and from Sarrebruck, at its southern extremity,
Would increase to a very large extent, both for fuel and for burning
tne, smelting ore, and other manufacturing purposes, as soon as an
improved means of conveyance is introduced, instead of the present
slow and expensive one of carting, which keeps that article at a high
Price. One part of these districts contains fine limestone, while the
other wants it ; and the slates would find a largely increased sale in
,steigium, Holland, and France. The wealth, fertility, and population
,"Lthe department of the Moselle, in which the southern terminus of
`ols railway will be situated, are too well known to need comment.
„In
~
1828 a powerful Belgian and Dutch Company, called the
S„,,eciete du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national
rlects—lst, ofuniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af-
_
s a perfect and eontinuous means of communication through
whole length of the province of Luxembomg, by completing the
line of navigation from the Meuse at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux-
ZZlh(alrg and Treves ; and 2dly, of bringing into active production
The great mineral wealth of this province, which had remained dor-
.Lant for want of propermeans of conveyance. For these purposes
the Luxembourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and
"oncost unlimited powers. In accordance with this project, the Com-
Pally commenced operations at the Lieu. end, and proceeded
with great vigour and success, until an was stopped by the Belgian
nf ieto. or other circumstances
have since prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river
Ourthe, which flows Into the Meuse, and was the commencement of
the proposed line of navigation, had, however, been considerably Int-
Proved by the Company, and an important local traffic, amounting fo
about 70,000 tons per annum, is now established there, from which the
Luxembourg Company has derived a handsome and increasing return
for the money expended. This Company had also obtained the
Clint of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revolution
of 1830 ; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and iron mines at
burbuy, of the lead mines of Maizeret, and of the manga-
nese mines of Bihain. Several other grants had been applied for,
and were pending, but the matter has since remained in abeyance
trona the circumstances already mentioned. The grant of Durbuy
attends over seven parishes, and 19,308 statute acres; 24,000 tons
of iron ore had already been extracted previous to 1830, and about as
ranch iron in 1839 and 1840, when the works were resumed. In
1842 these mines were let for twenty years to another company,
Who undertook to produce at least 1000 cubic yards of rough ore per
i.,„"nani. and who are actively working the mines. The Luxemt.ourg
pany receives a royalty or farm-rent of the tenth of the produce.
'-raThe, grant of the Maizeret lead mines extends over 630 acres. From
'lse result of the borings and excavations made, these mines are con-
fered ve—ry valuable, and they have the advantage of being close to
e Meuse river and to the high-road from Namur to Liege. The
es2lleession of Bihain extends over 1614 acres, and promises to be-
rme one of great value; 600 tons of manganese had already been
extracted when the works had to be suspended in 1830. The corn-
Pany had also already expl red several valuable mining localities, pro.
ding baryte,(from one of which mines 530 tons were extracted,] rock-
rt, antimony, lead, copper, iron, and other minerals, of which it
1:41 applied for grants under the powers and intent of its charter. A
ZZe number of quarries were likewise opened by the Company, and
al.tinae to be worked. It possesses property in Brussels, including
Trge mansion and premises, where its offices are situated.
t,41 order to become possessed of the extensive powers granted to
Luxembourg Company, and thus to obtain the entire command of
cole intercourse and mining property in that province and the ad-
ri 'nag districts, this Company will have to purchase the shares and
rights of the Company above-mentioned, including of course the
the mines, and all its railway roperty, interests and privileges, for
v,.801n of 260,000/. As the will effect the purposes of con
taanee and communication through Luxembourg, for which the
at
was projected, it is now intended (and It is in accordance with
miter) to complete the line of navigation only from the Meuse
sets ge to La Roche ;of which the estimated cost is under 400,0001. ;by
taLnleans the railway and navigation cannot clash, as they will
1-();`,` frout and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved
to t,.oture consideration whether the canal shall eventually be joined
,‘,ll the railway by a branch canal or railway from La Roche, or
Ine:ther it shall be continued in any other direction. In the
so,k7rltime the local traffic alone will be sufficient to produce a hand-
earee return on the capital to be invested, it being estimated upon a
pottut and moderate calculation to yield a net profit of about eight
that
eent. on the capital required. It may not be generally known
cent the Belgian canals give a net profit of from six to fourteen per
en'i and the Charleroi and Brussels Canal, which was conceded to
INAlly in 1826, is paying ten and a half per cent. on the capital.
1,1,11 addition to the great mineral traffic above described, the canal
per .croas several extensive forests ; whence large quantities of VIII-
P4r-uct wood will be sent for ship and house-building, Mel, and other
?esea, for which it is constantly in great demand.
e„, e concession of the railway is already obtained from the Go-
irlialent, for a lease of ninety years from the date of its completion.
