ZaT - hucii - Viosice i i 7 I li 7 The prospectus of the Ton Mawr Estate and coal Company (Limited) is in circulation. The object is to purchase and develop 1,600 acres of freehold mineral land, situated about six milts from Neath, iu the centre of the great coal field of South Wales, and which are stated to have been secured on "very advantageous terms." Arrangements have also been made for the purchase of the Ton Mawr Col liery, which immediately adjoins the freehold estate I on ite western boundary, and iuto which the work ings of the colliery extend. In the purchase is in cluded, besides the veins of coal, ironstone, and 1 other minerals, farm houses, buildings, timber, and' a branch railway nearly a mile long, afford- ing a connection with the South Wales Mineral Railway. The price to be paid for the whole of the above, including plant and goodwill, is 65,0001., of which sum 20,0001. may remain for a period upon mortgage of the freehold estates at five per cent, per annum and 15,0001. will be taken by the vendors iu 3,00 , 0 shares of the com pany, having Si. per share paid thereon, thus leav ing 9,000 shares only to be issued. The capital is 120,0001., iu 12,000 shares of 101. each, of which "60,0001. only will be required until the company's operations are extended." A new project has been formed under the title of the Ind antrial Financial Society (Limited), with a capital of 50,0001., iu 5,000 shares of 101. each, which have been privately subscribed. The com pany is to " undertake and assist in the promotion and development of ownmercial, industrial, and other useful enterprises," and to conduct general financial business. NEW COMPANIES. THE BANK OF LONDON. The following important circular has been issued to the shArehohlers in the Bank of Loudon. It convenes a meeting to authorise an increase in the capital of the bank by the sum of 2e.10,000/., to be issued at 701. per share premium. The reserve fund will thus he increased to 252,000/., and, with the additions which in all probability will also be made out of profits in June and December next (by which period the new capital will begin to rank for dividends), the total of the reserve fund will not be far short of 300,0001. This is certainly a very remarkable result for a bank established only eight and a half years ago. The shareholders have great reason to congratulate themselves upon the foresight and prudent management of those whose administration ban placed the bank in the front rank of similar establishments in an unprecedent edly abort space of time : Sir,-1 beg to hand you copy of a notice convening extra *Winer, pliers' meetings of the shareholders in this bank, at the London Tavern, on Monday, May 9, motion Tuesday, May 24, at twelve o'clock at soon precisely, for the purpose of cousidering sad determining upon an increase in the capital of the bank. The directors, after mature coosidera tion, have resolved no recommending that 2,000 new shares be issued at the pries of 1201., or 701. premium per share, sad that they be offered to those ohnrehollers whose name appear upon the register on the 4th day of June next, in the proportion of one share to every three shares of their rcepec. tire holdings, or as sear thereto es to avoid fractional parts. It is proposed that the amount be called up in manner fol lowing, viz. : 2111. on the 15th June, 1864, 201. on the 15th July, 201. on the 15th August, being on account of premium; 201. on the 15th September, being 101. on account of pre mium and 11 1 1. on account of new share ; 20/. on the 15th Oct., 201. on the 15th Nov., being the balance of mew there. The amount, viz., 140,0001., to be obtained by the premium upon the new shares will be added to the reserve fund, which will thereby be augmented to a sum which, under ordinary circumstances, will not require to be increased to any eon. siderable extent out of future profits. The directors feel that in adoptiog this course it will be recognised that they are adhering to the principles which have guided them from the formation of the bank, and which have resulted in Owing A in the highly-gratifying position it now occupies. Interest will be allowed upon the several inatalrnenta from the respective days of payment at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum until the 31st December next, from which date the holders of the new shares will be entitled to participate is all dividends and bonuses which may thereafter be de ' eared. If any instalment be not paid when due all claim to the new share will be liable to forfeiture, and if the amount be received after date it will be aubject to interest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.—l am, he., C. J. IL ALLICW. Secretary. Hoak of London, April 22. LONDON, HAMBURG, AND coNrnwrrAL EXCHANGE BANK. An extraordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at the bank ermines in Lombard-street, for the purpose of authorising the hums by the directors of the remaining 5,000 shares of the meant capital of the corn. paoy. The chair was occupied by Yr. DIANN J. HOJAHL The CHAIRMAN did sot think it desirable cm that occasion to enter into the affairs of the bank, and would only therefore ' that they were in a most satiefactoey 000dition. They had experienced the on. great drawback which was common to new banks arising from want of capital. As • rule it was better to call up upon shares already Maned than to make fresh issues, but in this came he did not think that would be to the advantage of the shareholders. The dine. tors had comequeetly made arrangements to Woe the second 5,000 of their original capital, and now asked for authority to take than comae. They had received appli catnips from way important places at home had abroad to establish branches, and those applications came when the shame of the company were at par or 2 disconet. On this tees the board bad made certain ar tenements by which they could place the second true at once. The greater part of the issue would have the 131., which had been paid epee the pre sent shares, paid up at cam, and it was intended to issue the remainder at 51. paid at once, and with a all of 51. in three menthe and another 51. in six months, and then there would be a all of 21. upon the other shares, making 151. paid upon the whole. The directors bad been engaged in some most important negotiations, some of which were °se cluded subject to the vote of that meeting, and some were still pending, but were in a satisfactory state. The effect of these negotiation. he wee not at present at liberty to mention, because it might jeopardise what had gone before, but he hoped to be able to place them before the abate holders in the course of a few days, and he was sure they would be satisfied, as they would find a large increase in the value of their property. lie booed this wooldcompeneate them for the directors net being able, in consequence of carrying out the negotiations, to divide the fresh irises of capital amongst the original shareholders ; but one consequence of these arrangement, would he believed be, that in a short time the directors would have to call them together again to ask for an increase of the capital to 2,000,0001., and then be thought the directors would engage themselves to divide the new shares pro rats amongst the shareholders upon the register. ( Hear.) He coocluded by moving a resolution autho. rising the directors to issue the remaining 5,000 shares of the company's original capital in such manner ea they might think expedient. Mr. KING seconded the resolution, and expressed peat confidence in the direction. The motion was ananimousl carried. ands cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and terminated the pro ceednip. MEXICAN BANK. Yesterday a special general meeting of the share holders in this bank was held at the London Tavern, to consider the propriety of altering the name, title, and designation of the beak, and to wake other alterations in the articles of association ; Mr. Joiur PLTIZZOON In tie chair. The Cueran&N, in opening the proceedinp, explained that the priecipal object for which the meeting was held was to alter the 121111141 of the bank. They were all aware that the bank had been amalgamated with the London and South American Bank, and the resolution he had now to propose was to the effect that the bank should henoeforth be called the London Bank of Mexico and South America. The title was a long one, but it bad been considered advisable to retain the word Leedom, as it would give influence to the tans abroad and make it more highly thought of than if it were merely to be called the Bank of Mexico and South America It would too show that their headquarters were in London ; besides, the name would not in any way conflict with that of any other corn. may on the Stock Exchange. It might be satisfactory to the shareholders to learn that all the arrangements of the bank bad been completed in • way very satisfactory to the di rectors, who had been able to secure the memos' se manager of a gentleman from the house of C. De Murriete, slid Co., from whom he brought the highest possible recommenda tions and, what was of very great importance indeed, carried out from the principals of that firm letters of introduction to the most influential people of Mexico, which could not fail to be of great value to the hank, and ware also • guarantee of its success; they had also sent oat accountants of tried experience, and of well. known character for ability. lie •ht mention of the bank with which they bad amalgamated, that it was pecu liarly progressive, and the accounts last received were the most satisfactory that had come home. The motion haiing been seoanded,was unanimously adopted. A resoktion was then approved of, precluding the board from trafficking in the shares of the company, and th e proceedings termiasted.

Traffic arrangements are to be made with the Great Northern sad Metropolitan, and the London, Chatham, and Dover COO posy are fur th er to be empowered to raise by th e bill 1,500,0001. by mound shares, 1864 , as edditional capital in their general uudertaking. and 500,000/. by mortgage of that undertaking, also 1,600,0001. by Metropolitaa Etna. siou New Shares, 1864, as additional capital in their Metro politan Extensions, and 533,0001. by mortgage of these exteosioes. • The committee directed the bill to be re ferred for further consideration to the committee on unopposed bills, over which Mr. Massey presides The committee then, after considerable discussion *mugs counsel as to the ordo rerum, determined on taking in rota tion the bills of the Metropolitan Railway (for additional powers), Midland Railway (St. Pancras Branch and other purposes), and London, C Chatham, sod Dover (No. 2), Bill. Upwards of half an hour was occupied in receiving appear ances of opposition and petitions of various railway cern ponies and other parties to these three undertakings, slier which the case was opened of the RITEOPOLITAY RAILWAY (ADDMONAL POWILIA).—Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., who appeared for the promoters, after reviewing the history of - the Metropolitan Railway, stated that the object of that company iu their present application to parliament was to make a abort line near Kies's-cross to connect their main line with a proposed branch from the enthralled extension to Lianan of the Midland Railway, to alter portions of the existing ooesaxicss with the Great Northern Railway, and to widen the has of the company at the westward of the Edgware•road *taboo. The Midland Railway would thus be brought into propinquity and juoc tion with the Metropolitan Railway at Eings-cross, have the same facilities there as the Great Northern. It was also proposed to alter and improve the junction with the Metropolitan by reducing the curves and making the junction in an open cutting iosteed of a tunnel. Oilier powers were sought in coonexion with the Finsbury Extension, eo as to enable Uncommon to exercise for extended period s of three years the powers of taking land for, and of completing the rail ways authorised by the linabury•circus Exigence Act, 1861, and to change the security for the completion of the extension to Finsbury circus from a deposit of 32,0001. liable to a forfeiture, to a penalty of 501. per day. The money powers sought are the raising of 450,0001. by ordinary new or preference capital, and 150,0001. by mortgage or debenture stock. The bill was opposed on divers grounds by the Great Northern, London, Chatham, and Dover, Metropolitan Board of Works, end St. Pancras Vestry, relative to the stoppage of streets, Greed Junction Canal, and by Mr. Cooke, a land owner. Mr. Fowler, the engineer of the line, and Mr. Johnston, his assistant, wen examined in favour of the proposed improvements, and the case for the promotes having closed, the committee decided on taking that for the opponDg interests this day. The committee oe the competing lines of the Midland Railway (Chesterfield to Sheffield), and the Sheffield, Ches terfield, and Staffordshire Railway, after hearing Mr. V. Haroonit, rejected the latter bill, and framed that promoted by the Midland company. The Farnham, Aldershot, and Woking junction, was withdrawn. The Mayor of Cedilla, Mr. Can, Mr. Jeep, C.E., and other witnesses were called in favour of the Carlisle Citadel-station branch of the North British railway. Further evidence for the promoters was adduced io the committee on the Bristol Port and Channel Docks, and in those on the Mersey Docks, Belfast Improve ment, and Nottingham Gas, of which latter Sir L Bridges is chairman.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., sod Mr. M . Natnats were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Harrison for the defendants. It appeared that in 1562 Mews. Kintrea and Clench, two' promoters of the ,00mpany, called at the plaintiff, house, and asked him to obtain the services of a Mr. Muni; who war a friend of hi,, residing et Southampton, as a director of the company. The plaintiff said it would cost him money going to Southampton, sod Hintze& and Clench both mimed that he should be paid 501. for his expenses. Upon that the plaintiff went to Southampton, and ob tarned the cosseat of his friend. When he retnroed be applied for the 5W., when be was advised by KinMea and Clench to take it in shares instead of money. He con sented to that, and Klutzes paid 501. into the bank. No allotment was made, however, and the plaintiff then applied for a return of the 501. A letter was received by him in answer, Mating that a chigoe had beau made out in his favour for 501., and banded to Kintree, who had given the defendant bankers a receipt for it. The plaintiff de nied that he ever gave Hintze& any authority to receive the money for him. . . . . The; defence was that it was considered th►t Mr. Moores name as a director would be worth 51/1., which was stated to the plaintiff, but no such sum was held out to him as a recompense for getting it. The plaintiff and his friends, however, went to Southampton, and the expenses amounted to no less than 181. It was true that Mr. Mentes name was obtained, but it was shortly afterwards withdrawn. The 501. was promised on the ground that Mr. Mentz would became a Dana fide director, whereas his name was ca.ly just obtained, and then withdrawn. The ogee bated a considerable time, sad The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the defeodant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—APRIL 21.

THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.—ACCIDENT The plaintiff in this case was a labourer who had been for some years employed by the defeidants, sod whilst pushing a truck along a temporary railway to a ballast-hole at East Croydou he received an injury, in respect of which be now churned damages. At the trial before the Lord Chia Baron the plaintiff was nonsuited, insomuch as the company were not liable in respect of the injury, became it was sustained through the neglwrice of a fellow•labourer of tbs plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Parry now moved for a rule for • new trial, and stated that there was evidence that the temporary line was improperly laid. and that this contributed to the acci dent. The line was constricted under the superintendence of a person who was in a much higher positioe then the plaintiff, and who °mild Dot he called a fellow-labourer within the meaning of the rule of law. Rule granted. GALLAGHER V. PIPER.—FALL FROM A RC A ITOLD. The plaintiff in this case bad been employed to builds scaffold igloo the site of the East India House. and while so engaged be fell from it and severely hurt himself. His sued his employers for damagee, contending that there was a deficient supply of timber, and that this pre vented him from putting up guard-boards., which would have stopped him from falling over. The jury found that there was a defective supply of timber, but that the defend. ant did not know of it, though his foremen and his manager did, and that there was no negligence on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. Giffard now moved for • rule to enter a verdict for the defendant upon the ground that there was no evidence to fin him with liability. The plaintiff had undertaken a dangerous employment, and he most himself suffer the ordinary risks incident to that employment. Rule granted. LAEOLE V. ELLISON AND ANOTHEIL—IIINNING THE BLOCKADE AT CHAELEBTON. The plaintiff in this case was • shipowner, and the de fendant bad agreed to supply 250 tons of goad. so be car ried in the plaintiff's vessel to the Bermedee sod thence to Charleston, the freight to be 151. a too. The action was to recover damage* upon the ground that the defendant had not supplied the goods to be carried, and at the trial helms Mr. Justice Willes, at Liverpool, the jury found for the plaintiff for 1,8754 Mr. T. Jaws now moved for a rule for a new trial upon the craned that the verdict was against the weight of evi dence, and that the damages were anomie*. Teen was a plea upon the record that the whole transaction was void, inasmu:h as the parties had entered into an illegal contract to violate the law of nations by running the blockade ; and he submitted that the learned judge had Dot properly di rected the jury in reference to this plea. Mr. Justice Willm—l directed the jury that to make the contract void upon that grimed the blockade must be effec tive, and sot a mere paper blockade. I told them also that the plea was • good one. Mr. Jones--Of course it must be taken that the law forbade such a contract Wog entered into, and that the phis, if proved, would be an answer to the action. Now he undertook to show that the parties contemplated doing an illegal set, and the fact of the blockade being effective was shown to some extent by this, that the plaintiff's vessel bad been raptured whilst attempting to get into Charleston. Mr. Justice Wilke—Then was plenty of evidence of blockade. but it was such as no jury in the kingdom would act upon when an efficient blockade was to be proved. Mr. Jones—The correspondence showed that the parties believed that they were contracting to do an illegal act. The plaintiff wrote that he had been advised that an agree ment to break • blockade reoogaised by the government was illepl, and egaio, " I ask whether you would have hesitated to take your profits because they were illegal?' Now, as to the amount of dehisces, he contended that they were exceseive, and the whole amount of the freight upon the defeedant's tonnage would have been 3,1251., but the tonnage not having been supplied, the plaintiff filled up the apace with his own goods, sod it was admitted that the plaintiff could only charge the defendant with the difference between the 3,1251. and the amount of freight which would have been charged in regent of the cargo which be himself shipped in the space. The learned judge, however, seemed to think that the plaintiff might recover the whole amount. The Lord Chief Justice —And the jury have charged the plaintiff '1,2501. in eoseequeaos of his having lost the cargo he shipped, sod yet you are not satiated. Mr. Jones—My client is not, my lord. Mr. Justice Willes—l thought your argument the most eneasesful I had ever heard, for it certainly gained your client 1,2301. Mr. Jones—After that I can say no more. Rule refused. NUNN= N.
