The actual remit. therefore, Le a gross receipt at the rate of upwards of 41.600,000 a year at the present exchange, with 100 miles still to open, and a large Increase of traffic only waiting for a further supply of rolling stock. This large traffic is owing to two causes : 1. The Atlantic and Great Western line forms the central libe- nk of the greatest hoe of through traffic in the world, viz., that tween the Western States of America and the Atlantic. Prom its shorter distance, and advantage of forming pert of o p Wl broken line of 1,20 u miles on a tubiform six-feet gauge, it must always be the best line of cornrow:deal:on by which the enormous goods and passenger traffic centering In the Western cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, and Si. Louis, can arrive at New York and the sea-board. 1 The local trillion eciaafly enormous, owing to its traversing the newly-discovered oil districts of Penusylvaula, and the great coal fields of Northern Ohio. Some idea of the local teak thus waiting for development, may be formed from the Insole fact, that this oil district now yields at the rate of 1.000,000 barrels per senum, for the conveyance of which sa much as 3d. to 4d. per ton per mile is willingly paid. A eoneolidatles of the several dtvielons of the Atlantic and Great Western kailwq under one eiecutive has beeu made, auil a mortgage for 30 mllllons dollars, or 6 millions sterling of bonds has been crailed,and alms, esnatel of SO maltase dollarsof shares of 50 dollars each, based on the whole property of the Company. The new shares will supersede those prevtously Issued, with the eiception of 1,910,000 dollars of prefereuce shares pledged as part of the security t o the certificates of debenture issued in November, WA, which will therefore remain prefereunal until those certificates are paid off, when the whole will become ordi nary share capital. Provision is made in the mortgage deed iuuder which e consolidated mortgage bonds are honed for securing the ri gh ts of the existing mortgage lsonds, and also for their exchange at maturity, or earlier, by consent of the holder, if authorised by the Board of Control this being completed, the present consolidated mortgage will become the e rat mortgage over the whole railway, with its branches, extensions and ....quip meats. The consolidated capital therefore will consist of $69,000,000, hall In shares and half In mortgage bonds, which provides for the completion of the entire line. To meet the interest on these bonds at 7 per cent. In sterling after payini, all working expenses, It calculated by Mr. Forbes theta gross annual remipt of 16,442,000 would be runt. dent, which is cocolderably less than the actual receipt, and 3,5T/1,000 dollars lees than Mr. Forbes's estimated , the annual receipt when the additional 100 miles are opened, so that the security for the bonds is ample, and there Is every prospect that, In addition, a high rate of dividend will be paid on the 30,000,0e0 dollars of share capital. The consolidated bonds have years to run, with conpone for int-rest at seven ,per cent. per annum, payable quarterly, free of Income tat, at the Company's offices ILondon or New York, gold. interest is payable on nth January, 15th April, 15th July, and 15th October of each year. It is proposed to appropriate the total authorised issue of 130,1-410,000, or Z 6,000,0 00 sterling sionsolidated mortgage bonds as follows : 1. A reserve of $ 18,144,400 will be placed with trustees to meet. either by conversion or payment when due, the existing sional mortgage bonds. being the total amount that has been issued, or autlairistal to be tooted, as certi fi ed by Messrs. Cole loan, Turqaud, Youngs, and Co., after due examination of the Company's books and resrs,equal to L3,e25,400. This in cudes bonds issued t o tg te the por e ublic, and also the bonds de positedl with rustees for the certificates of debentures Issued in November, 1884, the security of which remains unaffected by the preseut arrangements. 2.

The special advantages to be derived from the employment of capital through the medium of joint Mock cempanies, with Bruited liability, in purchasing and woridog colonial properties, have been demonstrated by the great success atleMapt watch. operations in India, Ceylon, &roe° tad elsewhere, and ft Is considered that no properties can be Made to benefit to a greater eitedt or to produce more remunerative molts treed the Intro duction of joint stock capital trout West India sugar estates. The object of this Company is the purchase and extension of the sugar plantations and the business of the well firms of Steam. Cavan, Lubbock, and Co., and Utilall. William Burnley Borne and Co. The estates and real securities to be transferred to the COOP I puny by the vendors are in Demerara, Berbice, Trinidad, and Barbados. The estates are fertile, well Winded, and in a high state of cultivatton. They are provided with an ample supply of Coolie, Chinese, Portuguese, and Creole labour. On normal of these estates powerful nuichinery of the best description ban been reoentiv erected at a considerable M coorest, and con the largely increased profits which have resulted, clusively' the advantages to be derived from the further appli cation of roachiew y on a still more eateuded scale. The in creased capital which will be thus employed, in addition to the large amount already invested in real estate, renders the busi ness more suitable to the resources of a public company than to those of private firma. The imports of the two firms in sugar alone have for the last three years averaged over 46,000 hogsheads per annum. The vendors will transfer to the Company, free of any claim for goodwill, their large and profitable commission and the aver agencyage busmen, which has yielded In net commissions, on of the past three years, an amount exceedlog t.e0,000 per annum, and la capable of being greatly extended. The terms of the purchase have been discussed and settledwith the vendors, after very careful amonination Into the returns and profits of each firm, and atter obtaining indepen dent f aluations and reports on the several properties. These inquiries were in stituted and conducted by Mews. Chadwick, Adamson. lillienna. and Co., and by directors entirely unconnected w ith the two Irma, before they agreed to loin the peopmed compseY. The vendors are only to be paid the mere value, thus ascer tained, of the est.ites, plant, mai Misery. stores, stock, and ad vances, which will amount to about 1t576,000, and by testaments . . • _ a follows: £225,000, or one-third, In 10,000 shares of the Company, to be credited as paid-up to the extent of £ 52 10a per share, £22.5,000, or one-third , in debentures, bearing interest at 5 per cent. £25,000, or the balance, In cash by Instalments In two years..

The vendors have agreed to guarantee. to the extent of the annual dividend on the above 10,000 shares, a net profit In each sear, for the first live years, of 10 per cent. on the paid-up capital for the time being ; such guarantee, however, is to cease U Co at or alter the expiration of three years th e net profits of the m pany shall have amounted to a sum equivalent to an average of 10 per cent. per annual on the paid-np capital, for each of the said flee years, calculating the capital for the last two years at not more than £25 per share. Each litho will liquidate their own liabilities and obligations, independectly of the Company, except where the Board of Directors deem it to be desirable for the Company to undertake any of such liabilities or obligations. The Company will enter into possession of the business on tat January next. rties prope and securities Is to take effect The transfer of the as from the hat Judy het, In Trinidad and Barbado s : and from let January next, in Demerara and fierbice, which are the usual periods for the Monster at property in the respective co lonies. It Is arranged that two members of each firm shall remain as Directors for a perlodot at least five years, and the large interest in live capital of the Company taken by the vendors gives the fullest proof of their entire confidence in its success, and the surest guarantee of their beat oftexeri. es being need to develop its resources. Alt the members cab tuna hind themselves not to enter into any businesa of a similar character without the sanction of the Board. The Directors confidently estimate that the net profits of the business of the Company, taking into cm:olds:math the revenue trim the real estate, for the ensuing five year', will he equiva lent to from fifteen to twenty per cent. per annum on the paid up capital of the Company. This estimate has been derived from the existing state of the properties and busineas of the two thewithout taking into consideration the increased returns from estates which will follow upon an improved system of cultivation awl manufacture, or the effect which the Impending abolition of slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico will have in augmenting the value of the estates and increasing the profits of the company.

The American residents in Paris had a splendid banquet yesterday at the Grand Hotel, to celebrate the national " thanksgiving " for the termination of the civil war. As many as 300 sat down to dinner ; Mr. John Jay, of Bedford, a well-known and in fluential American citizen, presided. After toasts to the President of the United States, the Emperor of the French, the memory of Washington, and the memory of Lincoln, the "Army and Navy" was proposed. General Schofield rose to return thanks, and all eyes were at once fixed upon him. He is one of the many distinguished soldiers who rapidly attained high rank during the gre at war. Re is only 34 years old, and scarcely looks more, notwithstanding all he has gone through. He is about 5 feet 8 inches high, rather thick aet,with large head and shoulders, and figure altogether adapted for hard work. As might well have been expected, he said not a word to throw any light upon the question of the day, whether or not he is here with a " mission." He paid a glowing tribute to the American army, which he proudly declared fit for any service, and dwelt particularly on the grand spectacle of the numerous disbanded regiments quietly laying down their arms and resuming their peaceful duties as citizens, after victory had crowned their efforts. He was ver y loudly cheered both i n rising and sitting down. Mr. Bigelow, the United States Minister, returned thanks for the Corps Diplomatique, and the evening was wound u p by some occasional verses recited by Mr. Boker, an American poet, known as the author of an admirable translation of " Faust." It is given out, in or der, I suppose, to afford a colour of courtesy to the prospective abandon ment of Maximilian by the French army, that negotiations are going ou at Vienna to get him 10,000 Austrian sold iers, instead of 2,000 of which it seems he has already a promise. It is suggested that the reductions in the Austrian army will make this arrangement all the easier. The Prince and Princess Hohenzollern left Feria to day for Compiegne, by a special train. A l i tt l e -k no wn person, Dr. Ramolino, who has just died at Rome, was a grandson of Madame Letitia, the mother of Napoleon 1., and the great aunt of Napoleon 111. Dr. Ramolino enjoyed a pension from the French emperor. His will leaves his savings, which probably were not large, to pay priests to say masses for his soul. The news that Verdi , no w in Paris, was about to bring out an opera at the Italian theatre, entitled King Lear, is contradicted. Ho has in his port folio two works, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet; but they are not destined to be launched in Paris. Another Prussian military band is shortly coming here to give concerts. At the Bourse, Rents rose sc. for cash and 20. for account, but the market was heavy at the close. Mobilier left off without change. The Cain: rtantl. From the papers re ceived from the country this morning it appears that during the last week the range of the cattle plague has been extruded in Cambridgeshire, though the deaths have in some plains rather diminished inconsequence of the prior annihilation of large herds. In the Yorkshire district the disease is still prevalent in the neighbourhood of Middles borough, Mahon, South Holderuess, Beverley, Think, and other places. It has sot extended any further in Comber land, but veterinary skill seems to have utterly failed to destroy it. In Norfolk there have been fresh oattreakp is the Erpiogham Union. In Staffordshire also the dames has continued its ravages. The aroaunta from many other ports of the country are cf so equally gloomy character.

A sub scription list was afterwards opened for the relief of the ' sufferers, sod among the other donations was an anonymous gift of one bundled ponds. The corporation dis covered the donor, and acknowledged the mupifi cent gift as that of Richardson the showman. He afterwards gave two handsome donation to the tows of St. Alias's, one towards the repair of the town-hall, sod the other in aid of the funds for renovatiog the abbey.
