This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing and working a railway from the city of Buenos Ayres to Chascomus, under a concession dated 11th June, 1862, granted by the Government of Buenos Ayres to Mr. Edward Lumb. Some of the principal conditions of the concession (a trans lation of which may be inspected at the offices of the solici tors) are as follows :- 1. It secures a guarantee of 7 per cent. for the term of 40 years from the Buenos Ayres Government, on an expenditure not exceeding £lO,OOO per mile. The line is to be completed in sections, and the guarantee takes effect from the opening of each section to the public. The Government to be repaid out of subsequent surplus profits any advances made under their guarantee. 2. The line must be commenced within 18 months from the 11th June, 1862, and completed in four years from its com mencement. . . _ 3. The Government lends required for construction of the line, stations, &c., are ceded free to the Company. 4. A right is granted to the Company to construct any branches, but the Government are not bound to pay any guarantee thereon, unless they require the Company to con struct them, or to extend the line to Dolores, in which event the Government guarantee 7 per cent. on the cost of those works. 5. The Government to have the right of purchasing the line on payment of 20 per cent. profit on its original cost. 6. All articles for the construction and use of the railway to be admitted free of duty for the term of -10 years. 7. 'The railway, and all property belonging thereto, to be exempted from any contribution or tax for the same period. 8. The guarantee to be made up and paid at the end of each year. The line, which is about 75 miles in length, has been care fully surveyed during the present year by English engineers under the direction of Mr. Thomas Rumball, C.E. A guaranteed contract has been made with Messrs. Peto and Betts for the construction of the line, including stations, workshops, and purchases of land, and also the provision of a sufficient amount of suitable rolling stock. The contract pro vides for the completion of the works in accordance in every respect with the provisions of the concession. An arrange ment has been made with Mr. Rumball, by which he under takes all the engineering expenses for a fixed sum, and the transfer of the concession, including all pre,iminary expenses up to the formation of the Company, has been agreed upon for a fixed sum. rovision has been made for the payment of 6 per cent. in terest during the construction of the works. The remainder of the capital will amply provide for the expenses attending the formation of the Company, and for the management dur ing construction. Carefully prepared statistics as to the actual traffic between the city of Buenos Ayres and Chaszomus have been submitted to and examined by the I lrectors. and show that the actual receipts on the present traffic. without any computation for the increased traffic which will inevitably follow the con struction of the railway and the development of the re sources of the country, will secure a large surplus over the guarantee. Applications for shares are to be addressed to the Directors in the annexed form c but no application will be considered, unless accompanied by the receipt of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. for £1 per share on the nnmber of shares applied for. This sum will be returned in the event of the appli cation not being acceded to, and, it an allotment is made, it will be applied towards the deposit of £3 per share then payable.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasie. Translated from the German of Dr. PICICFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhona and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

The manufacturers themselves were not to blame, but had done all they could to lessen the evil. He was recently at the residence of a nobleman,, when Mr. Cobden was present, and that gentleman said he knew a manufacturer who held in hand raw cotton, by - the sale of which, at present prices, he might have cleared £20,000, but •he preferred rather to work his mills and thus continue to employ his hands. The patience evinced by the suffering workpeople of the north was beyond all praise. Should the diro distress continue they could not wonder even if some indiscreet acts were committed; but the best plan was to give relief to these starving men at once. His counsel was to feed their mouths and thus stop their hands. (Cheers.) The Chairman concluded by announcing numerous large subscriptions in aid of the fund.

J. HONEYWILL moved the first resolu tion, expressive of sympathy with the existing dis tress, and pledging the inhabitants of that district to contribute to its relief. As a clergyman of the Church of England he had resided for years in the cotton district, and could state that although in some cases the manufacturers made money like usurers, they also spent it like princes in benevolent and charitable objects. It was impossible that they could now feed the starving thonsands they were unable to employ, and he trusted and believed the Christian people of England would, without any law to compel them, come , forward nobly to the rescue of their deserving and unfor tunate fellow-countrymen. At a former period of great distress the workmen went about in mobs and demanded food, but nothing of that kind had yet occurred, although numbers of the unemployed had formed themselves into glee clubs, and went about the country obtaining relief in this manner, and it was generally freely accorded. Mr. INGLE, in seconding, referred to the war in America and its baneful results. It was highly creditable to the suffering population of the cotton districts that they had withdrawn large sums from the savings banks, thus proving that when they had the means they were industrious and provident. The Rev. Mr. Sims moved, and Gen. JAMIEsON seconded, that subscriptions be paid in six monthly instalments. Mr. J. LLOYD moved, and the Rev. J.

The Shannon, 34, screw, Capt, O. J. Jones, is ordered from Portsmouth harbour into S pithead, to receive her Admiralty pattern screw, and fill up provisions and stores fer foreign service. It is said by many naval officers in reference to the state ments which have been made respecting thi s ship, that Capt. Jones, and not the officers and men of the Shannon, has most cause to complain of the present state of the ship, and of the notoriety she has gained since he has taken command. It is said that from the time Capt. Jones issued his first orders on board, a portion of the officers and men, finding that they would no longer be able to do as they had done hitherto, set themselves up in opposition. Capt. Jones, however, is said to be an officer of much firmness of character,and hence the conflict between him and his subordinates. That the Admiralty are determined to support Capt. Jones in his authority is evident from the fact of the Shannon being or dered from the home station on foreign service. The paddlewheel:steam sloop Hydra, 6, Comman -7c14 R. Y.

From the returns recently prepared under autho rity of the officials at the Horse Guards, it appears that previous to the amalgamation of the Indian with the Royal Artillery the latter included 35 generals, 16 of whom were colonels-commandant ; 35 colonels, 73 lieutenant-colonels, 328 captains, 445 lieutenants, 28 officers of different ranks belonging to the Coast Brigade, 10 riding-masters, 16 pay • masters, 28 quartermasters, 7 surgeon-majors, 9 surgeons, 76 assistant-surgeons, and 27 veteri nary surgeons. By the recent amalgamation these have been increased by 17 generals, 10 colonels, 32 lieutenant-colonels, 132 captains, and 161 lieutenants from the Bengal Artillery; 6 gene rals, 8 colonels, 24 lieut.-colonels, 72 captains, and 91 lieutenants, from the Madras Artillery ; and 4 generals, 7 colonels, 14 lieut.-colonels, 54 captains, and 64 lieutenants, from the Bombay Artillery. The combined force of Royal Artillery now con sists of 62 generals, GO colonels, 143 lieut.-colonels, 586 captains, 761 lieutenants, 28 officers of the Coast Brigade, 10 riding masters, 16 paymasters, 28 quartermasters, 92 medical officers, and 27 vete rinary surgeons, the whole of whom are distributed over 30 brigades, consisting of 5 horse brigades, 12 garrison, 9 field, and 4 field and garrison brigades. The brigades consist in the aggregate of 241 bat teries, the strength of each battery numb erin g g m an average 150 non-commissioned officers and num bers men. Exclusive of officers the Royal Artillery 36,000 men of all ranks, in addition ( of four o which there is also the depot brigade, consisting divisions, two of which are stationedsh eern . The four at Woolwich, one at Warley, and one at t h e e stablishment divisions comprise 20 batteries, the of each battery being 200 men, giving an additional the total strength number of 4,000 men, th t u o s swelling 40,000 men of all grades. of the Royal Artillery Directions have beeeerynereeeived at the head-quarters stablishmen t, Chatham, from of the Royal Eng o i r n those non-commissioned officers the Wareffice, f who were selected to undergo the course of training t o q ualify them f or instructors to Engine er Volun teer Corps to proceed to the Ist Devon (T orquay) Engineer Volunteer Company, the Ist Cheshire (Birkenhead) Com p an y , a n d the I st Hampshi re (Southampton) Company. In c onsequence of the increased duties devolving upon the pay-sergeants of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, caused by the increase in the number of men borne on the shore strength of that branch of the service, orders have been received at head quarters, Chatham, directing the employment of eight pay -sergeants at each of the divisions of Royal Marines, instead of four, as heretofore.

SHIP IN I LIE RIVER. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, shortly before high water, a very alarming occur rence took place in the river, opposite the Shad well entrance of the London Dock, which resulted in the sinking of a large iron ship called the Ganges, Capt. Monroe, and the loss, it is feared, of several of her crew. The Ganges was a large class ship, of about 1,000 tons, and was only built last year at Sunderland. She went on a voyage to India, then took coolies from Calcutta to Trinidad, and returned home to England, and has recently discharged her cargo in the West India Dock. Her crew consisted of between 30 and 40 Lascars, which were shipped in India. Having to undergo an overhaul in Brodie's Dock, Rotherhithe, prior to being placed on a berth for Australia, she was hauled out of the West India Docks about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and taken in tow by the United Steam Towing Com pany's steam-tug New Unity, the ship being in charge of a waterman pilot named Osgood, who is in the habit of conducting vessels on small trips to and from the various dry docks, and proceeded safely up Limehouse-reach ; but it was noticed that she was rather unsteady, arising, it is stated, from the insuf ficient quantity of ballast that was in her. On get ting abreast of the London Dock and the entrance of the Grand Surrey Dock, near which Messrs. Brodie's dry dock is situated, the ship was being turned round to the tide, and she had got athwart the stream, when she took a heavy cant to the port side, and the water flowing into the port holes she gradually went over and sunk. Many of the Lascars vvhi They ch scrambled just ep t wer e below at the time clea ri ng out the hold, and it is a matter of su r p rise t h at they were not a ll drowned on the ship going over. up on to the rigging of the mast,v th e y h e ld on a b o ve the surface of the water, here until boats came off and rescued them. however, it is feared that f our of the crew l A os s t their e i i s r , lives.

Another sufferer isreported to be a sharp-coloured boy, servant of the captain, and was a great favourite on board. The Waterman who h a d charge and the mate who were on the fore castle, had a narrow escape of going down with the ship. They had barely time to get over the bow, and were picked up by a boat. The capt a i n find ing that the ship was sinking jumped overboard clean of her, and eventually got ashore. As maY be imagined, the occurrence created quite a sensa tion in the lower part of the pool, and swarms of boats soon flocked to the spot. The Thames poll" and the Thames Conservancy boat were q uickly in attendance, and every precaution was taken t o pro tect the navigation a n d t o warn ap proaching ves sels. As the sunken ship now lies, she is not only a serious obstruction in the fairway of the river, but a hindra nce to the traffic of the Lo ndon Docks, although ships are not prevented leaving or enter ing by th e Sh a d well entrance . Vigorous efforts are being m a d e w i t h a v i ew of raising the ship, but Owing to her size and peculiar position, it is feared that the work of lifting, her will occupy several days. Her masts will have to be struck, and as it is thought that the ship will have sustained some damage, the whole affair, with the expense of rais ing,of the ship s attributed t o h er not having will involve a very heavy loss upon th e owner, The capsizing i s ufficient ballast , and the action of the flood tide when she was athwart the stream. It is also stated thot the tug' had her full power upon the s hip when she came round and went over. It was intended at low water to mak e a survey of the ship, when probably some of the bodies of the missing men might be found. The Thames police remain in attendance.

THE HUMAN AND TilE ELEPHANTINE RACE.-Mr. John Levett, of Dublin, has backed himself for a three mile race against one of Mr. Bell's elephants. It is pretty clear who will bear off the Bell, as we suppose that gentle man will ride his own animal ; but it is not so clear who will carry away the prize, for, in spite of the size, strength, and speed of the elephant, the biped will most likely have one advantage. Unless Mr. Levett carries a portmanteau, it will not be a fair handicap, as the elephant will be en cumbered with his trunk. you all you would see that further progress might have proved fatal to us. We returned to the uppermost cataract slung our boat to a shady tree, and walked home, having in three months travelled, in going and coming, 600 miles. Anything anent' a growing interest in the mission of the Church will be always welcome ; systematic efforts to dif fuse information ought to bcrnade. Withoutbeing particu larly prone to grumble, I think there is room for a growl at the missionaries enlisting for three or five years only. It is probably from want of knowledge of missionary work in Africa; very few leave Africa without wishing to, come back again, so it may all turn out right at last. I hear that the Free Church of Scotland contemplates a mission out here, and the United Free Methodists are sending another mission under Dr. Krapf to the east coast. There is room for all and for more than will ever come. " Burrup, Dickenson, and Clarke came up the Shire in common country canoes, without knowing a word of the language or a bit of the way.

William Monk, of Cambridge, from Dr. Liv ingstone : " Her Majesty's Ship Pioneer, River Shire, Jan. 2. "My dear Mr. Monk,—l have very little inclination to enter into details concerning the commencement of the Oxford and Cambridge Mission, because I am sure that accounts have been furnished by abler hands, and I am not very partial to works of supererogation. I may say, how ever, that I am thankful in having contributed in some degree to precautions against a fate similar to that at Lin yanti ; and I think if the missionaries follow the dictates of common sense, they are likely to enjoy good health while pursuing their noble enterprise. " It was very annoying to find that the people of Tette had come along the path followed by Dr. Kirk along the Shire to that village, and set up an extended system of slave hunting in the very country to which the mission had come. A tribe called Ajawa had been employed to attack the Manganj a villages, kill the men, and sell the women and children to the Portuguese for a mere trifle in calico. Four parties, with about 140 captives, fell into our hands, and were handed over to the bishop as a beginning to his flock. They were chiefly women and children ; many will probably leave and settle in the country adjacent, but the remainder, entirely free from parental control, may be trained accord ing to the will of the missionaries. In respect to these freed captives, the mission is more highly favoured than any modern one, except, perhaps, that of the Independents in Madagascar, King Radama presented a number of youths for instruction, but more for his own political ends than from respect to Christianity. In that island, however, the fruits have been unmistakeably good, for the converts have stood the test of cruel persecutions after the missionaries had left Madagascar. I earnestly hope and pray that simi lar or more abundant success may be awarded to this new effort to spread our common faith. The good Lord bless the work of their hands. " You cannot well conceive the state of disunion among the Manganja (in mercy call them Man-anja, not as we sometimes hear it Mang-ga,oja) ; the destruction of village after village produced no effort at union against the common foe. A message only was sent down to Chibisa, as he is be lieved to possess medicine capable of ensuring victory. The paramount chief,' instead of aiding his subjects, kindly helped the slave hunters across the Shire. We found that the whole nation NN. ere fleeing, and hoping to stop this and the effusion of blood, went to hold a parley with the Ajawa. Unfortunately, we came to them when in the act of burn ing three villages. The bishop then offered up a fervent prayer, and with the accents of that prayer we could dis tinctly hear the wail of the dead, and the shrill scream for victory. As we advanced to their villages our assurances that we came peaceably were nullified by some Manganja followers calling out " Chibisa has come ;" and very un fortunately, though I heard it distinctly, it did not strike the mind till afterwards, that we were thereby deprived of the protection of our English name. They attacked us on all sides with poisoned arrows, and fonr muskets, and I feel very sure that the latter were handled byPortuguese slaves. They certainly had the dress common among slaves at Tette, and there was a square house, such as slaves often build near the Ajawa villages. We retired slowly from the village,but this only made them bolder; they came within 50 yards of us, and it was only by recourse to our firearms that we avoided all becoming food for the vultures. lam sorry that it was necessary,for it was the first hostile encounter I have had in Africa, Had' I anticipated an attack I should have used fair words and presents first. We are, however, in the slave market. We were twice robbed in the sphere of an Arab dhow's slaving operation, about half way up lake Nyassa—the first loss by robbers I have sustained in the continent. Slaving is the parent of every other vice. Life is of no value in the trader's eye. A short time before we caught the first slave .hurting party, they shot two women on pretence that they were trying to loose the thongs with which they were bound; and I suspect the Ajawa, seeing us a very small body, and elated with continual success, thought it would be a clever thing to make an example of us. We had ammunition with us barely sufficient to drive them off, their attack was so unexpected. "Leaving the missionaries at a spot which to the eye looks as if 15 miles south of Mount Zomba, and which will serve till a better locality is selected, we returned to the ship, and in the beginning of August carried a boat past Murchison's Cataracts. When we launched her on the upper Shire we were virtually on the lake, though still 60 miles distant, because the river is all smooth and deep, and has a gentle current. On the 2d September we sailed into that island sea. It is surrounded with mountains, and from them rush down furious tempests with great suddenness. Tremendous swells get up in 15 or 20 minutes, and had you ever crossed the bar at Quillimane you would know what I mean when I say that terrific rollers come across the lake with wall-like sides and hairy heads, breaking in from 7to 14 fathoms. We ware once caught a mile from the shore, and could neither advance nor recede for six weary hours. The men all dreadfully sea sick did not care how soon they went down, as they were dead already.' The rollers broke either before they reached or after they had passed our anchorage. The boat behaved admirably, mounting up the steep billows like a sea-bird, but one roller breaking on her would have ended our explora tion. After this we were less venturesome, and listened to the utterance of our seaman, John Neil, as if he had been an oracle. We sailed along the western shore and found that side to be a succession of bays. The south ern end is shaped somewhat like Italy on the map. The ankle of the boot is the narrowest part, 18 or 20 miles wide. It expands towards the north to 35, then to 50 or 60 miles. The length is over 200 miles, probably 225. The depth is very great. A fishing line found b Atom in a bay at 100 fathoms or 600 feet ; but a mile outside none was felt at 116 fathoms, or 696 feet. There are several small rounded rocky islands in this lake which are covered with forests, uninhabited, and used only as fishing stations. Detached rocks jut out adjacent to these islands, and to all the rocky headlands, which will be dangerous to navigators. With our present knowledge, a ship could find anchorage only near the shore. Fish abound, and a prodigious population inhabits the shores, and they catch fish by large nets, creels, hooks, torches, or poison. Alligators, very 'a ell fed on fish, seldom or never molest man, so we could bathe in the delicious cool waters whenever we chose—a great l uxury not to be enjoyed in the Shire or the Zambesi, . _ " The people were civil—no dues were levied or fines demanded ; but slaving is the only trade. Colonel Rigby, our Consul at Zanzibar, says, in a letter to Sir George Grey, that 19,000 slaves pass through the Custom-house there annually—all, or nearly all, from Nyassa or Shire • and he adds, If it should ever be possible to plac e a steamer on Lake Nyassa it will cut off the chief supply of slaves to the east coast. Without knowing that gentleman's opinion, we have ordered a steamer from Glasgow in 24 parts, which we hope to carry past the Cataracts as our next work. We expect her soon, and I shall not pen a syllable to you or anyone else till it is accomplished. I pray to Rim in whose hand are our times' to permit me to accomplish this great service. Then a path to the sea by lZ ovuma, or some river in the dominions of the Sultan of Zanzibar, for we must have an outlet to the sea uncontrolled by th e P or t uguese . Fancy the folly of our allies ; the Government builds a post at the mouth of the Shire, to be enriched by cotton dues, while the people of Tette do all in their power to de populate the country from which the cotton is to come. If we have our own outlet, the cotton field, now 400 miles long, will be prolonged far to the north and west, and our own English honest poor may live on the islands and be come blessings to Africa, our own sweet home, and to themselves. These are iv hopes, and i t ought to be borne in mind that my expedition should be dated only from the possession of the Pioneer. We were f orced to return by want of food, when, as we have reason to believe, we were in sight of the dark mountain masses in which Lake Nyassa ends. " A tribe of Zulus originally from the south, had made terrible havoc among the Lake peopl e . W e don ' t know why, as we receive d onl y one-sided s tatements, and never form an opinion on that sort of evidence ; but human skele tons and putrid bodies of the shun strewed the shores— , man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.' I met seven of these Manta or Zulus ; they be haved much as we may suppose old women of either sex would do if they fanci ed the y had this tribe wandering up so far it strikes me that the more work Christian p e ople attempt the m ore their M as t er gives th e m to perform. The bishop at the Cape, with his Kaffir College, i s probably fitting mission aries to labour much nearer the equator than he ever contempl a t e d, I always rejoice t o hear of efforts to spread our bl essed re li g ion, no m atter by whom, for I am sure that lie who is head over all things to His Church condescends hou st often feeble, offering of His p eo _ le, to acc e pt the hear . ty, t' and will guide a glorious consummation. This college seems an ad mirable institution. Frequent storms rendered it unadvisable for us to at tempt crossing to find out all about the matter for 0 5 - se lves. It was the first time I ever was forced back with out accomplishing what I had to do, but had I time to tell SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GREAT YARMOUTH MEETING. —TUESDAY.

This midland meeting, which during the past two years has received the patronage and liberal support of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, and by that means, coupled with the extensive canvassing of Mr. M'George, the starter —has been raised from its former low state to rank as one of the principal meetiags of the midland counties. The ring was well filled, and the course was densely lined with spec tators all round the running ground. Half a dozen races, which had received numerous entries, were set apart for the first day's racing, and large fields contested the principal events. The weather was fine, and below will be found a detailed account of the running.

They were despatched at the first attempt, Abernethy quickly taking up the running next the rails, followed by Sea Nymph and Cobbler, with the remainder close up. Just below the distance, Trumps in the centre and Gipsy Girlon the outside, joined Sea Nymph, Abernethy, and the Cob bler. Within the distance Abernethy and Gipsy Girl drew forward, and the filly, catching the leader every stride, won a brilliant race by a head, a length and a half between the second and third, The Cobbler a moderate fourth, Trumps was fifth, Queen of Clubs sixth, Moose seventh, Golden Drop eighth, and Herdsman last. The Patshull Stakes of 5 sous each, with 100 added. The winner to be sold for £HSOO; if for £lOO allowed 9lbs, if not for sale 71b extra. One mile. 12 subs.

After proceeding 100 yards Atherstone went to the front, being followed by Mountain Doe, Phantom, and Aston. Half a mile from home Mountain Doe got to the favourite's quarters, but upon arriving at the distance the lot closed ; Atherstone, however, without being headed gradually left his opponent, and won by a length; half-a-dozen lengths between second and third, and a similar distance separated the third and fourth. The Wolverhampton Stakes (Handicap) of 20 soya each; 10 ft, and 5 if declared ; viith 200 added by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington; winners extra.

At the second attempt Sycophant jumped away slightly in front of St. Bernard and The Knave, who were side by side, the last two being Prologue and Pembroke. In the first quarter of a mile Sycophant increased his lead to a couple of lengths, but before arriving at the T.Y.C. post he was headed by St. Bernard, Knutsford having previously taken third place. On entering the straight St. Bernard took a clear lead, which he maintained past the stand, Sycophant being second, Kutsford third, Caledon, The Knave, and Fitz Eva following abreast; Prologue last. At the top turn, having been once round the course, Knutsford ran along side Sycophant, The Knave, and Fitz Eva, who were still in close company, but did not attempt at that period to over haul St. Bernard, who still had a clear lead. Caledon here dropped from the front beaten, and was pulled up three quarters of a mile from home. At this point Prologue, with Millionaire, ran up to the leaders. Approaching the three-quarters of a mile post, Knutsford took up the run ning, followed by St. Bernard and Sycophant, the re mainder, with the exception of Caledon, taking close order. At the distance St. Bernard and Sycophant were beaten, and Knutsford was joined by Millionaire, The Knave, and Pembroke, and a splendid race home ensued, Knutsford ultimately winning a most exciting race by a neck. A length separated the second and third, and Pembroke finished half a length in the rear of The Knave; Prologue was fifth, Fitz Eva sixth, St. Bernard seventh, and Sycophant eighth. Caledon did not pass the post. The Stewards' Plate (Handicap) of 40 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs, for all ages; winners extra. Straight half mile. 22 subs.
