countries, and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Bhentsh

Portant districts of the North-East and East of France. and of the

projected to Manheim, 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 Rhino at Coblentz, which the establish-
-Bent of steamers en the Moselle, is daily and rapidly Increasing.
U,c,h of the great transit trade now going by the Rhine through
iil°.land is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais,
consequence of the great difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending
-"`„,c ?thine between Strasbourgh and Bale.
There is likewise a considerable local traffic in passengers and
mopeds in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu-
us fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine,

have since prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river

the proposed line of navigation, had, however, been considerably im-
Proved by the Company, and an important local traffic, amounting io
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
trent of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revalution
of 1830 ; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and ican,mines at
bilrbuy, of the lead mines of Maizeret, and (.1' the mange-
