Forbes, Esq., well known to the British Railway public as Vice-President of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, and General Manager of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, contains full in formation derived from personal inspection of the position and prospects of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, from which it appears— The Atlantic and Great Western Railway system cora- Prises 507 miles now in work, including 17 miles recently opened. 100 miles in bourse of construction. Total, 607 of which 526 miles belong to the Company; and 81 miles are leased for 99 years, at a low rent ($273,072 a year). Though not yet fully completed, the traffic already equals that of many of the best American lines. During the first six months of 1865 the receipts upon the 322 miles then open were $2,579,737 equal at the present rate of exchange to $7 in the to £368,533. since July 490 miles have been opened, and the receipts have been $2,011,676, equal to £287,382, for three months, or at the rate of £1,149,528 per annum. Tho subjoined monthly traffic return shows the steady increase of traffic. Total. Miles Passengers 1 rB6's'. F eight. 1864. , 1865. • open. Mails, ac. Dollars. Dollars. j Dollars. Dollars.

The actual result, therefore, is a gross receipt at the rate of upwards of £1,000,000 a year at the present ex cnange, 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. Th e Atlantic and Great Western line forms the central link of tho greatest line of through traffic in the World; viz., that between the Western States of America and tho Atlantic. From its shorter distance, and advan tage of forming part of an unbroken line of 1,200 miles on D. uniform six-feet gauge, it must always be the best line of Communication by which the enormous goods and pas senger traffic centring in the Western cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at New York and the sea-board. 2. The local traffic is equally enormous, owing to its traversing the newly-discovered oil districts of Pennsyl vania and the great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some idea of the local traffic thus waiting for development may De formed from the single fact that this oil district now Yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the c °rlveyance of which as much as 3d. to 4d. per ton per ladle is willingly paid. A Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway under one executive has been b lade, and a mortgage for 30 million dollars, or 6 millions eterling of bonds has been created, and also a capital of 30 million dollars of shares of 50 dollars each, based on the 'whole property of the Company. The new shares will S upersede those previously issued, with the exception of ,1,919,000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of t he security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in ovember, 1864, which will, therefore, remain Preferential Until those Certificates are paid off, when the whole be ecQue ordinary share capital. Provision is made in the mortgage deed (under which the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds are issued) for securing the rights of the existing Mortgage Bonds, and also for their exchange at maturity, !ll' earlier, by consent of the holder, if authorised by the Board of Control ; this being completed, the present Con solidated Mortgage will become the first mortgage over the Whole railway, with its branches, extensions, and equip ments. The Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of 660,000,000, half 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 paying all working expenses, it is calculated by Mr. Forbes that a gross annual receipt of $6,442,000 would be sufficient, which is considerably less than the annual receipt, and $3,573,000 less than Mr. Forbes's esti mate of 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 $30,000,000 of Share Capital. The Consolidated Bonds have 25 years to run, with coupons for interest at 7 per cent. per annum, payable quarterly, free of income tax, at the Company's Offices, in 1 4 0 adon or New York, in gold. Interest is payable on 15th Yaear.lluarY 15th April, 15th July, and 15th October of each It i s f Proposed to appropriate the total authorised issue ° R .;„. 0° O.,1 0 00,000, or £6,000,000 sterling Consolidated Mort -76 - blonds, as follows : to 4 . res erve of $16,142,0 . 00 will be placed with trustees "'ler', either by conversion or payment when due, the e xistiu d• that g wisional ortgage Bon . ds, being the total amount fi Ad ',..uae been issued, or authorised to be issued, as certi e uYMessrs.

This Company is formed for the purpose of executing Public Works in Naples, and will commence operations by constructing a Boulevard, upwards of a mile in length and 80 feet wide, connecting the centre of the city, the Royal Palace, and the Government buildings with the Chiaja, and Corso Victor Emanuel, the chief carriage drive of the Neapolitan people. The entire project is shown on the accompanying plan, where the portion coloured red indi catesathe first section of the works, and that coloured blue (for which plans are now being prepared, and arrange ments are in progress with the Municipality) is marked out to be subsequently proceeded with. Naples, the third city in Europe, contains about 600,000 inhabitants, and is rapidly increasing in population and' commercial development. It is the port and centre of a population numbering nearly 2,000,000 souls, dwelling within a radius of twenty miles, and is much frequented by foreigners from all parts of the world, both for tempo rary and permanent residence. A tender for this work was made to the Municipality of Naples, in accordance with a decree of expropriation, and having been accepted by them, and approved in due form by the prefect, on behalf of the Government of Italy, the requisite compulsory powers are thus secured for the pur chase and expropriation of the necessary land in fee-simple for tho intended object, without delay of other legal forma lities. The Municipality of Naples upon accepting this tender required the usual deposit of caution money, which the concessionaire has accordingly paid., . _ _ Admission to Promenade, One Shilling.

The Municipality contributes ti subsidy of 1,800,000 f., progressively as the works proceed, Contractors have undertaken to purchase all the land necessary and to complete the construction of the now thoroughfare in the style of the edifices lately erected on the new Boulevards of Paris, including the formation of the road, paving, and works of drainage, &e. The new houses are to be 20 metres high (65 feet), and the total cost for houses, land, Sze., amounts to 620 f. (CMGs) per square metre of the area built upon. The contractors relying upon the success of the under taking have accepted these terms, and they look for their remuneration out of a Portion of the surplus profits after repayment of capital, interests, and all other expenses. This remuneration has been fixed at one-fourth of the realised profits ; the remaining three-fourths being divisible among the Shareholders. From a report published by the Muncipality of Naples in 1862 on the value of house property there, and from the increase of value since that date, which is estimated by experienced residents at upwards of 30 per cent., the reve nue from rentals would be calculated to yield at least 10 per cent. per annum on the cost of construction. The value of house property in Naples is reported to vary, according to locality, between twenty to twenty-five years' purchase, houses in the Via Toledo being valued at twenty-five years', those in the Ohiaja district, and in the vicinity of the new street, at twenty years' purchase. When the proposed Boulevard is opened into the Toledo it is be lieved that these houses will command an equal if not a higher price than those in the Toledo. Taking the value, however, at an average of only twenty years' purchase, each square metre yielding a minimum rental of sixty-five francs, or over 10 per cent. on a cost of 620 francs (£24165.), would attain a selling value of 1,300 francs (£52). There is alarge and increasing demand for house accom modation in Naples, and house property being the favourite investment of the Neapolitan people, immediately houses are completed they find ready purchasers. Indeed, in many cases, contracts for sale can bo made in anticipation of their completion. HAMILTON AND KIMPTON'S, TAILORS AND OVEII-COAT MAKERS, 105, Strand (opposite Exeter Hall).

After a - most careful examination of the present project and of all attendant circumstances, it is calculated that a share capital of £600,000, together with the returns from sales, taking place during the progress of the works, will be sufficient to work out the entire concession. And the calculation, founded upon the above stated rates, exhibits as a result—within the term of eight years to be occupied in completing this enterprise—returns, from the disposal of successive portions of the estate, which promise to fur nish at least £5OO in the aggregate of bonuses upon every subscription of £loo—exclusively of the entire repayment of the capital, or, in other words, a capital profit of 500 per cent. ; with intervening interest at the rates of 5 per cent., 6 per cent., and 10 per cent. as described.

KEAN IN RICHARDSON'S SHOW.—It was during the earlier and less fortunate part of his pilgrimage that he numbered Edmund Kean among his company. The old showmen was not a little proud of this association, and used to give himself some credit for having had a hand in Kean's theatrical education. When Macready's name was becoming known in the dramatic world, Richardson was ,,l asked if he had seen him. " No, muster," he said, knows nothing about him : in fact, he's some wagabon d ea a ed •s no one knows ; ono of them chap s as ain't had anyic- tion for the thing; he never was with me, as Edmund Kean and them riglars was." Kean's mother, Mrs. Carey, a descendant of the unfortunate musician, obtained an en gagement for herself and her children, Edmund and Henry, in the company of Richardson, in whose bills Henry Carey's name figured for some years afterwards. The first performance of the family was to take place at Windsor. Between slough and Eton, however, the caravan came to grief and stuck fast in the mud. The misfortune being perceived by some Eton boys, they declared they would drag the caravan into the town without horses. Richardson for various reasons refused to agree to this, and the boys in revenge pelted the caravan as it passed the college. This, , it is believed, is the only foundation for all the stories which have been sot afloat concerning Koan's connection with Eton. The per formances at Windsor opened with the " Magic Oak" and Fielding's " Tom Thumb," in which Edmund played the hero, and his mother personated Queen Dollalolla. To his great surprise, Richardson received a note the next day requiring Master Edmund to come np to the Castle, and perform before the King (George III.). Kean's recitations took every one by surprise, and his wondrous ability was even then acknowledged. His mother, taking advantage of the royal favour, engaged the market hall, and reaped a considerable profit from Edmund's exhibition of his talents before the people of Windsor. The family afterwards re joined Richardson's company, and remained with him for some time. The last time Edmund Kean played for Rich ardson was at Battersea fair in 1806. He performed Nor val and also Motley in the " Castle Spectre," receiving a salary of ss. a night. Kean would often in his freer mo ments boast that by his tumbling outside Richardson's booth he had tumbled many hundreds of bumpkins inside. —Cornhill Magazine for December. % .4 • . f • r Gra.clap. • • " / Z X ( '6 l k`, 111 '11[ •"\-? - - _ 4 l • - • , e 0 0 4 „ 4111 1tN v DIE - • - • DR:o 1T • " " Age 10 - / •••• 130., PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd.' Sir J• Pakington on the Ministry. On Thursday evening the Conservatives of Wor cester and neighbourhood made a demonstration in recognition of the contest which Mr. James Levick fought in the interest of Conservatism at the recent Parliamentary election. About 200 of the leading Conservatives of the city and county sat down to dinner at the Guildall, and in order that the poorer members of the Conservative party might make merry on the occasion, a number of tickets for creature comforts were distributed amongst them. The great feature of the day was the public dinner at the Guildhall. The chair was taken by Sir E. A. H. Lechmere, Bart., the president of the association, and among the company present were the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakingtou, Bart., M.P., G.C.B, ; the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Mr. A. 11. Royds (High Sheriff of the county), Mr. Jas. Levick, Mr. W. E. Dowdeswell, M.P., Mr. T. G. Curtler, &c. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Mr. Levick," and that gentleman having replied, Mr. T. G. CURTLER proposed "The Lords and Commons," and in doing so referred to Earl Rus sell's appointment, and asked how many of the sup porters of the Government would leave them if Mr. Gladstone dare move in the Irish Church question? The Earl of SHREWSBURY responded on behalf of the Lords, and made some general observations on their duties and privileges. Sir J. P.A.KINGTON thee rose to ropls the Comm_on,*ol.lter a few introductory observa tions the barcluet expressed his views on the present state of public affairs. In the first place, he said, the change which had taken place in public affairs, in his opinion, impressed the necessity that, beyond almost any period within his memory the Conservative party—and by the Conservative party he meant the Conservatives throughout the land, and not a mere handful of politicians limited to the House of Commons—the Conservative party should be firm and united in upholding those principles which were their distinguish ing characteristic, namely, the resolve, as far as in them lies, to maintain, advance, and uphold those main institutions which, together, make up that constitution from which all their greatest blessings flowed. (Applause.) The main cause of that change, in his judgment, in the aspect of public affairs, arose from the death of the late Lord Pal merston. Whatever might have been Lord Palmer ston's faults —whatever might have been Lord Palmerston's merits—he did not deny that he had no disposition, in dwelling upon his memory, to speak harshly of him ; and if he had, that would not be the moment for doing so. He referred to the effect of the death of that statesman merely to found upon it proofs, which he thought he could give, that the aspect of public affairs was dangerously changed. He could remind them of the history of the last six years, and remind them of the tact and cleverness with which Lord Palmerston contrived to maintain a partial compromise between the conflict ing interests by which his Cabinet and his party were divided. (Applause.) He would not enter upon the question as to whether the part taken by Lord Palmerston was an elevated line of policy— whether it was a dignified position on the part of a great statesman—the Conservative head of the Ra dical Government and party—an arrangement of which the Conservatives had no reason to complain. The result, however, was this—that while Lord Palmerston lived, and by his personal influence and the support of the great and powerful Conservative party was enabled to keep in check the Radical ten dencies of his own supporters, the institutions of the country were safe. He referred them to the political intrigues of 1859, and said the result of those intrigues was that the Conservative party had the satisfaction of seeing their principles in the ascendant ; the pledges of reform and Radical change vanish into thin air, and the feeling that any attempt to overturn the institutions of the I country would fail. (Applause.) After the death of Lord Palmerston , as they all expected , her Maj esty had adopted the obvious course of calling on Earl Rus sell to form a Government ; he (Earl Russell) had appealed to the country for a fair trial, and that appeal must not be made in vain. Whenever he appealed for a fair trial, he must have it, but when a man called loudly for a fair trial, it was rather like his having got himself into trouble. (Laughter.) Earl Russell must receive the fair trial for which he asked ; that trial would take place in the High Court of Parliament, and the jury would be the British public—the verdict he would not anticipate, but if lie had the conduct of the trial the first witness he would call into court would be Mr. Forster, the member for Bradford. The public had been some what startled by some of the appointments of Earl Russell in the organisation of his Government, and all were on tiptoe to know what appointments were made. They thought from the appointments they would be able to form a very legitimate inference as as to the probable policy of the new Government. Up to that moment the Government was not com plete, but two appointments had been made—Mr. Goschen, the member for London, and Mr. Forster, the member for Bradford—who had excited some fears. He regarded both as men of high character and great ability ; and although they had not long been members of the House of Commons, they had both already succeeded in establishing a very consi derable Parliamentary reputation, and were both men of extreme opinions. He was sorry to say he could only regard their appointment as tend ing to show a very dangerous disposition on the part of the Government. He alluded more especially to Mr. Forster, who, in a recent speech at Bradford — which was all very well as a speech to his constitu ents, but not so consistent with his position as a member of her Majesty's Government—he would not detain them with long extracts, but in that speech Mr. Forster had said they were pledged to a comprehensive s t m e r e , s a s s u e r b e o o l f m r e e a f o n r t m b , y a t n h d a t t . h e 3TH knew - w idisi‘taftre.snFiearsnitiekre e sp xp ee r c e h sse o d f a ß d i e r s . ir G e l t a n d a - t s f e t o r r n e e d , t a o nd an sa u i the institutions of America should mldbaen must introduc g e o d to England, to adding that a poor should be introduced to England, adding that a poor man must go to Americ a before e e v e c d o utlbda tany obtain onethewith rig htthse abilityof citi zenship. iti f i‘ i ihri. F- Forster zei p. I s i t e gr er should have allowed hi mse lf to ex press such extravagant and indefensible views. Under such circumstances the public had a right to ask whether the Government were about to intro duce a Reform Bill embodying the views of Mr. Forster—whether the Government were about to in troduce a very democratic measure of reform. If they do not, Mr. Forster will readily find himself in a position inconsistent with his personal character; and, if not, Government will have won over a mem ber from an extreme party. He was not without his fears that an attempt would be made at the former of these alternatives ; that the Government of Earl Russell will find that their only escape from that difficulty will be to introduce a measure of extreme reform, and that when the question again comes before the house for consideration, it will not be in statesmanliket ß h a e ttberowas aneftobremrhitherto themtaken. bs point—he which had had told fear, but he bad no fear for the re sult g —(hear, ar , hear) —for the reason that there w as amon g st Liberal party a large section w ho a pp reciated Conservative principles, and of whom Conservative members felt t e e r o th u s them. reduction A large surpri se i that )ody w t o h u e i y d should e sit n y o p d p a o n s ,„ of the franchise. In the last session of Parliament Mr. Baines's bill for a £6 franchise was supported by Government, who had not cnnrage to bring it in, but it was lost. Three able members on the Liberal side—Lord Elcho, Mr. Horsman, and Mr. Lowe— opposed it, and the Consery atiuswondered how they came to be on the other side of the house. He (Sir John) was not without hope that this false state of parties would before long be altered, and aproper and true division of parties bebrought about.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic service, and provides a home free of expense for former Inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations trey might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the recent storms and loss of life at sea, ands o enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war. Subscriptions thantiully received by the. bankers, Messrs Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill. R. SWEETTNG, Hon. Sec. CHARLES NASH, Sea.

Archwolog,ical Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. Yesterday afternoon the second ordinary meet ingesesthsieoirt e o e f ms the of me t n h t e b e A rs ru o n f de t l his se l e n i s e t t ; Institute was of held in Bond-street--the Marquis Camden in ee the chair. The N oble Chairman, i n opening the gs, announced that a communication had been received from Sir Charles Phipps to the effect that her Ma jesty had been graciously pleased to sanction the holding of the next annual congress of the Institute in Windsor, in July next. lle said the exact day could not at present be fixed, as it would depend in a great measure on the period at which the Queen would be absent from Windsor Castle. The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Institute ; is expected to preside on the occasion. The first communication, "Notes on Excavations of the supposed Site of the Roman Cambodunum," contributed by Mr. J. Bradbury, was read by the secretary, Mr. Parnell. The place where the ex cavations have been made is about four miles from Huddersfield, and so far as they have gone they have disclosed numerous remains indicative of former occupation by the Ro m ans. A mong th e most inte a-..Tcticizco-i-ered aro baths for Lot :Ind Friel bathing, and the contil „'.:ces adapted for heating the water. The excavations are still in progress. A paper on the Roman pig of lead lately found at Bristol was contributed by Mr. Albert Way, from particulars communicated by the Rev. Prebendary Scarth. From letters cast on the lead, but partly erased, it is supposed to have been of the period of Antoninus Pius in the second century. The pig of lead, which was placed on the table, weighed about 801 b., and is much smaller than others that have been discovered in the same neighbourhood, for it appears that the Romans obtained large quantities of lead from the Mendip Hills. In the course of the discussion on the paper there were some curious commentaries by Mr. James Yates and Mr. Morgan as to the meaning of the term " pig" applied to a mass of cast lead. The latter gentleman expressed the opinion that in casting the lead with a large trough, called a " sow," the metal overflowed at the sides, and those masses were called her pigs, hence the word pig had been applied to all similar masses of cast metal. Mr. Yates, on the other hand, con tended that the word pig is a corruption of the word pic, meaning a piece. It was remarked in the course of the discussion, as a peculiar circumstance, that while these pigs of lead cast by the Romans are not unfrequently found in England they are very rare in France. Mr. E. Smirke read a paper on some entries re specting the burning of lepers in the records of the Channel Islands. The records referred to the time of Edward I. or Edward 111., and it might be in ferred from them that some lepers had been burnt to prevent the spread of the disease. Such a supposi tion was, however, contrary to the general feeling then entertained towards lepers, who met with sym pathy from most classes, though they were shut up by themselves as a measure of precaution. Mr. Smirke referred to several ancient French authorities in which it was asserted that at one period lepers and Jews were suspected of poisoning the wells, and among other poisonous matters they were accused of throwing into the water were serpents' heads and "ladies' hair." In the record particularly referred to there were two or three words missing, which might have shown that it was for some alleged offence, and not merely for being lepers, that the persons had been burin. Mr. Greaves and the Rev. Dr. Rock joined in the discussion, and agreed in the latter opinion. Mr. Birch made a communication respecting a threatened spoliation of St. Michael's Church, St. Albans, He also alluded to the threatened removal of the rood screen from Christ Church, Hampshire, and read a letter which had appeared from the Earl of Malmesbury on the subject. This led to a dis cussion of the fruitful topic of destructive "resto rations" and desecrations by clergymen, church wardens, and architects, in which Dr. Rock, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Smirke, and other gentlemen took part, and several additional instances were men tioned of barbarous attempts at restoration. A resolution was then moved by Mr. f Alorgan, and agreed to, to the effect that a representation be made by the Institute to the proper authorities to prevent the removal of the rood screen from Christ Church. Some explanatory observation - -; were made by Mr. Hewitt on a rare article of defence worn by knights in tilting, called a vamplace, which was exhibited by permission of General Lefroy. Several other objects of interest on the table were briefly explained, and the meeting then adjourned to the 2d of February. The Execution of Mr, Gordon. The summary execution of Mr. Gordon in Jamaica, without legal trial, appears, upon the face of the despatches, says the Law Times of to-day, to be wholly illegal ; whether it was justifiable, is a question which the local authorities must be called upon to answer. He was not taken red-handed in any overt act of rebellion, or even of sedition, which alone can legalise a drumhead court-martial and a summary execution. His offence, as stated, was hasp lai plainly i a s d c i i c v t il i n c ri . me, o o r v e e o r y e w r l:i . e b h e the a s civil t law t u al r o e n d e , but surrendered, placing himself thereby under the protection of the law. No lawyer will hesitate for a moment to pronounce his trial to be illegal, and his execution murder—in point of law. But, of course, there is an answer to this. There are times when necessity overrules all law. Self defence is the first right of communities, as it is of the individual. But the burden is cast upon those who exercise this privilege, in opposition to the law of the State, of proof that such necessity existed, and that it was not a merely dubious *rni, but a real and imminent dan ger , threatening life or limb, or, in the case of a' cm, t o h m e in u d n i i v t i y du a a n l a h r a c s h y a a r g d bt its t o c i s ll e ci t e e n r c o e b s b . e r Then, wi i 0 uses or threatens violence, so the authorities, to whom the maintenance of peace and order are en trusted, have a right to kill when society is threat ened with dissolution. If Governor Eyre can show this, he will be enabled amply to justify the execu tion of Gordon ; if no t, he will have been g uilt y of thgetoreabeflsull l w It is for him to show nl a t j h o a r t i ty he .

'We suspend even • an opinion until his defence is fully heard, and we ask the lawyers, who mutt acknowledge the illegality of the act per se to do the like.
