There are some distinguishing features in this projected railway
calculated to give it a decided preference over foreign railways
generally.

let. The preliminary concession for ninety years, under very fa-
vourable terms, has been already obtained from the Belgian Govern-
ment, so that there is no risk of present or future competition, or
necessity for agreeing to cib'advantafzeous terms in order to obtain
such concession. As, according to the law of England, a certain
amount must be deposited before a railway Bill be read in Parlia-
ment, so a deposit must be paid into the public treasury of Belgium,
to be afterwards a• propriated to the construction of the line, which
deposit completes the agreement already entered into.
2. This railway is the second that has been offered to private en-
terprise, as distinguished from the State system of railways. hitherto
prevalent in Belgium. It embraces a line of country inferior to none
in Europe. As elements of profit the traffic and transit will be very
great, the line running through the richest, most fertile, and mos po-
pulous part of Belgium, abounding in minerals, coal, iron, lead, zinc.
&c., with quarries of building stone and marble: and connecting it-
self with the railways of the State, and also with the great line from
Calais to Cologne, and, by an intended branch from Mons to Manage
(for which the preliminary concession has also been obtained), uniting
itself with another great line between Brussels and Paris, which con-
nects the capitals of two kingdoms.
3d. Its length from Namur to Liege is 4S English miles, and the
line from Mons to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the
Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 6514 miles of railway. The line
fiom Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government survey
undertaken by M. Magis, has been subjected to the inspection of Mr.
Rennie, and the estimate applied to this line carefully checked by
him.

4th. On the banks of the river and on the line of this railway there
are already twenty-two smelting furnaces, two foundries, three roll-
ing mills, twenty-three forges, several zinc and copper works, glass-
houses, saw-mills for wood and marble, paper-mills, potterieP, and
fire-brick manufactories. What these may be when the railway is
in operation may be gathered from the evidence adduced before Par-
liament in England, that the average effect of railways has been to
quadruple the transit and traffic previously existing. The increase
in Belgium has hitherto more than doubled this ratio, which must be
further increased by the opening of the German markets, through the
operation of the Zoliverein.
sth. The reprm,ibility of Shareholders is limited by the Belgian
law to 3- Mtn of the amount of the value of the shares.

Applications for prospectuses and shares (see form) may be made
to Joseph Cary, Esq , at the emcee of the Company, 52, 3loorgate-
street.

Report of George Rennie, Esq., C.E., F.R.S., above referred to.
To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur

to Lie ze.

Gentiemen,—Agreeably to your' request I proceeded to Pelgium in
the earl, part of the present month, and on the sth and 6th instant,
in company with Monsieur Magic, the engineer of the Government,
and by whom the plans and other documents were prepared, having
made a minute examination of the whole line of country through
which the railway passes. and compared the plans and sections of
the same, and having also investigated the various calculations rela-
tive to the cost Of constructing the railway, and compared them
with similar documents relative to the existing railways of the
State, I am of opinion that the proposed line of railway Is laid out
with judgment anti accuracy, and every way worthy of the repu-
tation of Monsieur Magic ; that it is very easy of execution, that it
presents no difficulties of cutting and embankments, or works of art,
that the inclinations scarcely exceed the inclinations of the river
Meuse, to which it runs parallel, and that it is one of the easiest and
best lines in Behium. The works can be executed for the estimate.
And, finally, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most
fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals,
with which it abounds, and that as a main trunk line from the cast
to the west part of the kingdom it combines great local and great
political advantaces, inasmuch as it unites the mineral and manu-
facturing districts with the passenger traffic from Calais to Paris,
Calais: to Cologne, Calais to Dijou and Lyons, and to the countries
eastward of Liege, and it: only requires the junction of the
Manage and Mons Rail rays, likewise comprehended in the con-
cession, to render this one of the most complete railways on the
Continent.
I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
London, March 22, 1845. GEORGE RENNIE,
