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 information derived from personal inspection of the position and pros pects of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, from Which it appears— The Atlantic and Great Western Railway system com- Prises -507 miles now in work, including 17 miles recently opened. 100 miles in course of construction. Total, 607 of which 526 miles belong to the Company; and 81 miles aro 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 X 287,382, for three months, or at the rate of £1,149,528 per annum.

This table includes the traffic of 33 miles of the Oil Creek Railway, which was constructed by and has _ _ This table includes the traffic of 33 miles of the Oil Creek Railway, which was constructed by and has hitherto been worked by the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, but does not form part of the consoli dation. The actual result, therefore, is a gross receipt at the rate of upwards of £1,000,000 a year at the present ex change, 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 link of the greatest line of through traffic in the World, viz., that between the Western States of America and the Atlantic. From its shorter distance, and advan tage of forming part of an unbroken line of 1 , 200 miles on a 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 kaversing 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 be formed from the single fact that this oil district now yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the Conveyance of which as much as 3d. to 4d. per ton per Mile is willingly paid. A. Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway under one executive has been Made, and a mortgage for 30 million dollars, or 6 millions sterling 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 supersede those previously issued, with the exception of 1,919,000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of the security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in November, 1864, which will, therefore, remain Preferential until those Certificates are paid off, when the whole be come 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, or 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 reents. The Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of $ 6 0,000,000, hhlf 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 London or New York, in gold. Interest is payable on 15th January, 15th April, 15th July, and 15th October of each Year. It is proposed to appropriate the total authorised issue of $30,000,000, or £6,000,000 . sterling Consolidated Mort tage Bonds, as follows :- 1. A reserve of $16,142,000 will be placed with trustees to meet, either by conversion or payment when due, the existing divisional Mortgage Bonds, being the total amount that has been issued, or authorised to be issued, as certi- Red byMessrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., after title examination of the Company's books and registrars, or equal to £3,228,400. This includes all Bonds issued to the Public, and also the Bonds deposited with Trustees for the Certificates of Debentures issued in November, 1864, the security of which remains unaffected by the present arrangements. 2. The balance, viz.: —£2,771,600 is offered for public subscription, at the price of £BO per £lOO Bond, including the Coupon due January 15, 1866 payable as follows : £5 per £lOO Bond on application ; 10 17 77 on allotment ; 25 „ 7 , on 15th January, 1866, less coupon £1 15s. due on that date ; 20 77 17 on 15th February, 1866 ; 20 on 15th March, 1866 ; allowing for the January Coupon, the nett price of each £lOO Bond will be £7B 55., or allowing for discount on pre- Payments under .£7B. Subscribers will have the option of paying in full, under uls,. count, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum ; but, in de la:tilt of due payment of the respective instalments, all pre .lous payments will be liable to forfeiture.

This Company is formed to extend the business of the old-established Bank of Messrs. Charles Laffitte and Co., of Rue Basse du Rempart, Paris, to this country and elsewhere, by converting it into a Joint-Stock undertaking, on the principle of limited liability, and thereby to afford the com mercial community and general public facilities for trans acting their Foreign Banking and Financial operations through an establishment having its centre in London, and possessing the advantage of a name well known and accredited throughout Europe, together with a thoroughly organised, most extensive, and influential connexion. The business of the Company will be similar in character to that hitherto carried on by Messrs. C. Laffitte and Co., and other great foreign banking-houses, viz., a combination of banking business, financial agency, and general mer cantile monetary affairs, with the advantage of increased resources and a more extended field of operations. An arrangement has been concluded with Messrs. Charles Laffitte and Co. for the purchase of their business, for the sum of £150,000, which amount has been arrived at upon a moderate computation of its value, based upon a statement of the profits actually realised during a series of years. Two-thirds of the purchase-money will be taken in Shares, on which £lO per Share will be credited as paid-up ; and Mr. Charles Laffitte will continue his connection with the undertaking in the capacity of Chairman of the Company, and will give it all the advantage of his influence and experience. Negotiations aro pending for incorporating with this Company other banking, financial, and commercial estab lishments, for the purpose of extending the sphere of its operations, and of affording to the establishments alluded to the opportunity of consolidating their business, and of reducing the existing liability of their shareholders.

The present project is to conduct to Rome the water from the famous never-failing springs at Arseli, known as the Aqua Marcia and Regina Aquarum of the ancient Romans. This water has been proved by incontestible analysis to be free from all impurities ; it possesses more over the further immense advantage of reaching to the top floors of the highest houses in Rome—a level unattainable by the existing imperfect supply. Rome, though ornamented with numerous fountains, is, perhaps, worse off for pure drinkable water than any other city of its size in Europe. One-half of the houses are en tirely without water; and, in addition to this, the present supply from this and from the Felice and from the Paolo is unfit for drinking purposes, so that the Aqua Marcia cannot fail to command an immediate sale. Water, in Rome, is treated as a property, and dealt with in the same way as land or houses. The demand for it is extraordinary. The present selling price of the freehold in an ounce* (the Roman standard for measurement) is upwards of £2OO. The rent for the same averages £2O to £25 per annum. The climate of Rome being for several months in the year almost tropical, water is there an article of luxury as well as of necessity; it is also of the greatest utility for irrigation. These circumstances naturally combine to en hance the price. ' An exclusive concession of the Aqua Marcia has been obtained from the Pontifical Government, giving every possible facility to the pres ent scheme, which is calculated so materially to benefit the Eternal City. The concession comprises the absolute freehold in the waters, and a lease for 99 years of the lands, aqueducts, and works. The concessionaires, who have expended large sums of money in plans and, studies, have agreed to convey to this company the concession, with all the property, rights, and privileges before-mentioned, for the sum of £30,000. They also undertake to pay all preliminary expenses connected with the introduction of this project, reserving for their remuneration one-fourth of the surplus profits of the com pany, after the payment of 10 per cent. annual dividend to the shareholders. Plans, estimates, &c., have been prepared by the engi neer with the utmost care and accuracy; and the Directors have receive , ' offers from responsible contractors to exe cute the work at the engineer's valuation. The springs at Arsoli yield a continual supply of up wards of 3,000 ounces of water. It is proposed at once to construct works adequate for the conveyance of the whole of this amount of water to Tivoli, whence upwards of 1,500 ounces in the first instance will be conveyed to Rome by iron pipes; the other 1,500 ounces will be brought as the:demand arises. Careful investigations show that the actual present de mand far exceeds 1,500 ounces. It is proposed only to sell one-half of this quantity, which at the lowest price of an ounce, viz., £2OO, would give a return of upwards of £150,000, and the rental of the remaining 750 ounces would yield an income of £150,000 per annum. It is calculated that the profits from the sale of water will give a large bonus to the shareholders ; while the income derived from the rent of water will givesat the same time a continuing annual divi dend of upwards of 10 per cent. In addition to this result it must be remembered that 1,500 ounces will remain to be conveyed from Tivoli to Rome, the cost of which would be considerably within the balance of the capital. Assuming that from the in creased supply thare would be a depreciation in price of even 50 per cent., so that the price of an ounce of water fell from £2OO to £lOO, and the rent for the same from £2O to £lO, the result of the second operation would be most highly profitable. Notwithstanding the absolute sale of the water, the Company are empowered by the terms of the concession to levy, for maintenance of the works, a tax of £1 ss. per annum on every ounce of water disposed of. A large proportion of the first issue of shares has been applied for in Rome, principally by shareholders in the Anglo-Romano Gas Company. This latter Company has been in operation 12 years with most successful results, it has paid large dividends, and its shares now stand at a high premium. In all cases where no allotment is made, the deposit will be returned in full. The operations of the Company will comprise the objects mentioned in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which, together with an authenticated Dopy of the con cession, may be inspected at the offices of the Solicitors to the Company. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained from Sir Charles D. Crosley, broker to the Com pany, and at the of f ices, 1, New Broad-street. * An ounce of water is the amount which will flow dur ing 24 hours through a tube of the diameter of 17-32 of an inch with a regulated pressure.

But if it was the knife with which the death stab was made it is not deemed unlikely that Patrick Kane, on running out of the house, borrowed it from tho lodger James Kane, and returned it to him when ho Caine back.

The object of this Company is the purchase and exten sion of the sugai plantations and the business of tho well known firms of Messrs. Cavan, Lubbock, and Co., and Messrs. William Burnley Hume and Co. The estates and real securities to be transferred to the Company by the Vendors are in Demerara, Berbice, Trini dad, and Barbadoes. The estates are fertile, well situate, and in a high state of cultivation. They are provided with an ample supply of Coolie, Chinese, Portuguese, and Creole labour. 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 Agency Business, which has yielded in net commis sions, on the average of the past three years, an amount exceeding £BO,OOO per annum, and is capable of being greatly extended. The terms of the purchase have been discussed and settled with the Vendors, after very careful examination into the returns and profits of each firm, and after obtain ing independent valuations and reports on the several pro perties. Those inquiries were instituted and conducted by Messrs. Chadwick, Adamson, M'Kenna, and Co., and by Directors entirely unconnected with the two firms, before they agreed to join the proposed Company. The Vendors are only to be paid the mere value, thus ascertained, of the Estates, Plant, Machinery, Stores, Stock, and Advances, which will amount to about £675, 000 ; and by instalments, as follows : £225,000, or one-third, in 10,000 Shares of the Com pany, to be credited as paid-up to the ex tent of £22 10s. per Share. £225,000, or one-third, in Debentures, bearing interest at 5 per cent. £225,000, or the balance, in cash by instalments in two years. To meet the above payments and provide the requisite working capital it is estimated that the calls will be re quired to be made as follows: December, 1865, £5 per share (being the amount of payment on deposit and allotment). April, 1866, £2 10s. per share. July, 1866, £2 10s. per share. January, 1867, £5 per share. January, 1868, £5 per share. The Directors confidently estimate that the net profits of the business of the Company, taking into consideration the revenue from the real estate, for the ensuing five years, will be equivalent to from fifteen to twenty per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Company. Applications for Shares may be made in the form an nexed, and must be accompanied by the payment of £1 per Share to the Bankers of the Company. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Sharesmay be had on application to the Bankers, Solicitors, Auditors, or Stockbrokers, or at the Temporary Offices of the Com pany. Payments of deposit may be made to the Bankers of the Company, or at the Branches of the National Provincial Bank of England ; and the Branches of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Patrick Kane, Mary Kane (his wife), James Kane, and John Leonard were yesterday brought up in the Police-court at Willenhall before the Rev. G. H. Fisher, Mr. R. D. Gough, Capt. Deakin, and Mr. N. N. Solly, charged the first with the wilful murder of Augustus Hooper, police-constable, and the other thre," with being accessories to the fact. Colonel Hogg, the chief constable of Staffordshire, was upon the bench, and Major M'Knight, deputy chief constable, was likewise present. • Mr. Travis, solicitor, of West Bromwich, con ducted the prosecution upon instructions from the chief constable ; and Mr. Bartlett, of Wolverhamp ton, defended Patrick and Mary Kane. Mr. Travis, having said that he should offer only enough evidence to justify. a remand, called Police-constable IVilliam Butler, who deposed— I am stationed in this town. I was on duty as night patrol on Friday night last, and at about a quarter to twelve I heard a noise as of men quar relling in the George Inn, Walsall. street, kept by Mr. *Williams. On entering I found four men asking noisily for lodgings, and the landlord came downstairs from bed, and in my presence ordered them out of the house. As he went through the door a man who is not in custody said he " could thrash all the policemen in South Stafford shire." The man who made use of this threat went and stood behind a corner on the Bilston-road which I had to pass as 1 went to meet the Bilston officer. As I passed him he struck me on the side of my head with his fist. His name is not known, but I can identify him. He then ran up Bow-street, where I followed and caught him. The other three men then came up and rescued .my prisoner. I then drew my staff, stood in a corner, and caught hold of John M'Kue, who had struck me several times. Two of the men then took hold of my staff, dragged me out of the corner, and we all struggled down the alley. Mary Kane came out of her house, and struck me four or five times with her fist. Mrs. Kane—Oh, Lord! Witness continued—l struck her on the head with my staff, which had been broken. (The splintered staff, made of ash-wood, was here produced.) The woman cried out "Murder" and ran into her own house through the front door. Patrick Kane now came out by the same door ; he seized me by the coat, and struck me three or four times with his fist. (Kane here laughed loudly, and was rebuked by the Bench.) I knocked him down with a blow from my fist, and still held my prisoner (M'Kue). Police-constable Hooper here entered the alley. I said, " There's one of the men," pointing to Kane, who had recovered from the blow I had given him. I saw Hooper take hold of Kane, the two had a struggle, and I saw the officer fall against the wall of the house. There was no one else there at that moment. I took my prisoner on to the station. By Captain Deakin—l was about eight yards from Hooper, and there was a lamp about 20 yards off. Witness continued—When I returned from the police-station I found the deceased lying on his back, quite dead, and on the spot when I had seen him fall. He was lying in a large pool of blood. I went in search of Kane, and entered his house by the back door. Mrs. Kane admitted me on my knocking. On going upstairs I found Patrick Kane, James Kane, and John Leonard all in bed, Patrick Kane by himself and the other two together. Patrick said, " What do you want? I've done nothing, and shan't get up." He afterwards got out, but would not dress himself. I then took Mary Kane, who wanted to drink something out of a phial she had, but I prevented her, and it was broken as I forced it out of her hand. Assisted by other officers, I ex amined the house where Kane lived. We found blood on the outside latch door and on the lock and handle of the front door. On the staircase there was also spots of blood. On the table in the front kitchen there was a waistcoat with two spots of blood upon it. By the Bench—There was no blood on my face when Patrick Kane or his wife struck me, nor did I make either of them bleed. Henry Benton, key-stamper, said—l live next door to Kane's house in Bow-street. On Friday night last I was aroused by . a disturbance in front of the yard, and I saw Patrick Kane walking to the back door. I asked him what was the matter. He said, ,‘•-•----" to ye !" and went in to his house. (Kane r _e y ground of‘ 11 11 h ere chuckled loudly.) I heard a e dear !" and found the officer lying on th front of the house, with his staff in his hand, and quite dead. as Thomas Gratton, miner, deposed —I live in Bow ainloduslood.gesihnoorntley of aftertenementstohl2 Bow street, ee t , Kane'so'clockon near to see Il y oolzed out of my room wi n d ow. I did not one with Hooper, but I saw him fall. I ran down stairs, and from my back door saw Patrick Kane walk sharply to his back door and enter the house. I saw him come round from the front of the row where deceased was lying. At the time that I saw Hooper stumble and fall in the front of the row there was no one else there that I could see but Policeman Butler and the man M'Kue, w hom he was arresting. This was the whole of the evidence tendered, and an adjournment took place till this (Tuesday) week. By that time the inquest, which was formally opened yesterday, will have been held. On Sunday a spring-backed knife with a formid able blade vas found secreted upon the person of James Kane, in his cell. He had been previously searched, but nothing to excite suspicion had been discovered. On Sunday a further examination of the clothing of all the prisoners was made, and the knife was found iu the fob of James Kane's trousers. It is the class of knife to which the weapon that in all probability the murder was committed belongs, but from the partial comparison which has yet been made between this instrument and the wound it scarcely seems to have been the precise weapon. There is a red stain upon it, but it may turn out to be slight oxidation, as the microscope has not yet been used in the examination. This done, and the blade of the knife compared with the wound by the surgeon in the post mortent examination, which has been ordered by the Coroner, conclusive testimony will be forthcoming. At present it is thought to be not unlikely that the knife belonged to James Kane, Loss of the Barbadian, On Saturday the Board of Trade received the sworn deposition of William Edward Thomas, one totally Channel.l sa e y d s n : e _sdl of the surviving officers of th e B ar b a di an ma il steamer,morug last in the is lost on lie Wednesday was third officer of the Barbadian steamer. She belonged to the West Indian and Pacific Steamship Company, and was 724 tons register. She was three masted, schooner rigged, built of iron in 1851, and classed in Lloyd's. We left Liverpool on the sth of December fully equipped, with a crew of 35 hands, with mails for Barbadoes, Trinidad, &c., and carried a general cargo and three cabin passengers. The pilot who took the vessel to sea left us at the Bell - Buoy, when Capt. R. Graham, the master, took charge, and put the steamer on her course, and set the fore and main trysail. About 5.30 a.m. the next morning the steamer struck on the Blackwater Bank. I was below at the time, and upon coming on deck found the weather rather thick. The master imme diately ordered the engines to be reversed at once, but they were of no avail. The ship bumped very heavily on the shoal, and was every moment ex pected to break up. I was ordered by the captain to take charge of the starboard-quarter boat. I got it out and placed in it the ship's chronometer, mails, and a box of jewellery wiliPh I knew was in the captain's room. I cast off the boat with 13 of the crew, myself, and one passenger, and made for the Blackwater lightship ; but not being able to reach it I put the boat before the wind and sea, and ran her upon the beach at Courtown, where all were landed in safety. One life was lost in trying to reach the boat while it was swinging on the davits. It was a passenger named Volner. Another boat was lowered about the same time. A number of the crew were in it ; but what became of them I cannot say. The seconi officer (T. P. Shellock), with six of the crew, left in the port waist boat and got ashore. One of them was killed by the boat on the beach." The steamer remained entire till about 11 o'clock on Wednesday forenoon, although the sea kept sweeping over her, but then she broke in two amidships and quickly became a total wreck. Twenty-five of the crew in all got away in the boats, leaving Captain Graham, the chief officer, and ten other persons on board. On the ship breaking up Captain Graham, mate, and four hands took refuge in the foretop of the wreck, but from their not being seen after it is believed that they were washed over board and drowned. The remainder, six in num ber, took to the mizzen rigging, where_they remained all that night and part of the following day, when four poor fellows were rescued by the crew of the Rosslare lifeboat, assisted by the Ruby tugboat, but were in a most shocking state of exhaustion. The other two perished in the rigging before the lifeboat came up. The wreck has sunk in the sand, and only her funnel was to be seen above water. It was Captain Graham's first voyage as master. The company to which the Barbadian belonged have been very unfortunate, this vessel being the third mail steamer which they have lost during the last 12 months. The Republic of Mexico Endorsed by the United States The appointment of General John A. Logan, of Illinois, (says the New York Herald), as United States Mi nister to the Republic of Mexico, is ono of the most important diplomatic movements that wo have ever been called upon to chronicle. Although this Govern ment has not yet interfered in the Mexican imbroglio, and has not yet given any material aid to the Mexican Republicans, who aro so gallantly struggling against foreign invaders, still the most explicit declarations of the unanimous sentiment of our people upon the subject hare been placed upon record from time to time. Add to the openly expressed opinions of our great generals and our best statesmen, and to the reiterated warnings of the inde pendent press the resolution of Congiess against the re cognition of any other than a Republican form of Govern ment in Mexico, and the emphatic assertion of President Johnson that ho knew of no such person as the Mexican Emperor, and we have a perfect chain of evidence in regard to the views hold by the United States concerning Mexican affairs. Neither Napoleon nor Maximilian can possibly mistake the meaning of these repeated popular and official manifestations, and the appointment of General Logan as our Minister to Mexico is still more unequivocal. There are several circumstances which make the selec tion of General Logan peculiarly appropriate and pecu liarly ominous. In the first place, he is one of our bravest generals, and all our generals are known t) be in favor of assisting Juarez, by force if necessary, in resuming the authority which has been usurped by Maximilian. In the second place, General Logan is a personal friend of Presi dent Johnson, and as such is presumed to fully understand and represent his views. In the next place, General Logan's own opinions about Maximilian have already been very plainly announced in his public speeches, and especially in that Cooper Institute speech which attracted such marked attention throughout the country; and therefore his appointment is in some sort an endorsement of all that he has said. Besides all this, General Logan, being a soldier, is admirably adapted to share the warlike fortunes of the Mexican President, and it is probably the intention of the Government that he shall proceed at once to the head quarters of Juarez, wherever they may be subsequently located, until the war in Mexico is ended by the re-estab lishment of the republic. The very fact that a man of General Logan's temper, training, sentiments, and experi ence has been chosen as our Minister proves that ho is not expected to sit down quietly in the glare and glitter of Maximilian's capital, sharing the luxuries of those whose usurped authority he cannot recognise, and that he is to be called upon to take part in the rougher but more honest fare of the Mexican President, who is compelled to change his capital as the necessities of the war dictate, but who has never for a moment relinq uished the le g i t i mate autho rityGeneralagainst L oNgva i enn do oi s tel notb o d in f s ulhimop followed oe b 6do y b t ty h h e aa tnMyte overt ev i c ea a rp n t pd p oe e i nm o p tom l n s e e . nt rt a toi of the empire that France has set up upon this continent. Our Government does not recognise Maximilian in this matter, but deals directly with Napoleon ; and there is no other .Power upon the face of the earth with which the United States would be less willing to engage in war than with France. The two countries are bound to each other by the most cordial ties. We cannot forget, and have no desire to - forget, the assistance rendered us by the French in our struggle for independence, and our gratitude for that assistance has since been strengthened by many years of amicable intercourse and by a thousand acts of mutual friendship. For the Emperor Napoleon personally the American people have the highest respect and esteem. c m e e l l n e t n s r a e n f d o r n h i s ; dipl oma tic victories over those Pow ers of Euro p e whi ch i mhpi his o e v x e his s s rtalemeanrtks,ahhiles system m hte o n f e i d nte p r o n li s c l y, were once his bitter e nemies and aro now his faithful b ee n regarded here with an admiration equally allies, have un b oun ded and undisguised.
