O. 3, Westminster-chambers, Vietoria-street, West minster, S.W. This railway extends from Towcester to Stratford-on- Avon, a di stance o f 33 m il es. I ts o bj ec t i s t o s h or t en by 3 0 miles the present narrow gauge route, via Bliswortb, between London and the great coal fields of South Wales; also to afford greater facilities fur the coal traffic between S outh Wal es an d L on do n , and the return ironstone trade be tween Northamptonshire and South Wales. The Corn ta9Y have secured running powers from Towcester to hsworth, as well as most favourable arrangements with the Great Western Company. The lino passes through a rich and populous country, a nd 'will afford the best route to London for all traffic i iving at Worcester from whatever source, as well as that f rom hat f rom Redditch, Alcester, Strat f or d , Ki ne t on , an d important towns. 1864 South Wales produced 11,000,000 tons.of coal, a nd London consumed 5,600,000 tons ; of which quantity t ,0 00,000 t ons were steam, and 1.000,000 tons gas coal ; ut notwithstanding that South Wales is practically the Ply district in Great Britain where smokeless steam coal is Need, les s th an 200,000 tons of coal of all descriptions sent by railway from South Wales to London. f rills virtual exclusion of the Welsh coal from the Lou urn market arises from the fact that the South Wales coal Proprietors cannot successfully compete with the Northern s f o l 3 rietors in consequence of the rates being lower on the I,erthern lines than those hitherto charged by the Great ""stern Railway. If these rates were equalised and the independent narrow g a uge route shortened, as it will be by the proposed rail trY, there can be no doubt that a traffic in coal will be eveloped over it far exceeding the present quantity. An annual demand exists in Wales for 2,000,000 tons of "Laustone of the quality found in Northamptonshire, which district at present supplies only about 200,000 tons, in con re„nce of the long routes and high rates. This quantity , 111 be largely increased, as the reduced rates and the ; :3 11 •°rtened distance of 30 miles will enable the ironstone to e delivered in Wales at a reduction of 3s. per ton, making a Price less than it could be raised in Wales or imported, and will secure to this railway, above all other routes, the great desideratum of back mineral carriage. A rrangements have been made by which the traffic of some of the principal ironstone estates in Northampton :hire, i nc l uding a considerable port i on o f L a dy Palmer ton's estate, is secured to this Company. t As a proof of the remunerative nature of mineral traffic ° a railway company, it may be mentioned that the exist ,,pg.railways in Great Britain, whose receipts are principally valuable from mineral traffic, are the. best paying and most aluable railway properties in the kingdom; for instance, the Taff Vale Railway, 58 miles in length, of which 38 are double,_ and 20 single line, constructed at a cost of about .£27,000 per mile, carries over 3,000,000 tons of minerals o ne 'Tay, and earns £9B per mile per week, which realises a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum ; and the ordinary .£lOO stock of that Company is now worth £l6O in the market. The East and West Sunctionßailway, for a double line, will cost 414,000 per mile, and will, as estimated, earn .£9O per mile per week. The advantages of this line maybe thus summed up:— Access to the'best depots for coal in London. Back carriage over two-thirds of the whole distance be• tween London and South Wales, in which two-thirds is in. chided the entire length of this railway. Unlimited supplies of coal in South Wales, with an al. most unlimited demand for coal in London. Great and increasing requirement in South Wales for ironstone found in Northamptonshire, which ironstone must of necessity go over this railway. The existing routes for the conveyance of coals from South Wales to London are as follows :- 1. By sea, which is nearly four times longer than the distance by railway, and cannot compete with the railway when the rates are reduced even to three-eighths of a penny per ton per mile. 2. By the Great Western Railway, via Worcester and Oxford, to Paddington. This route is the same, in point of distance, as that by this railway, but it has no mineral return traffic. 3. By the London and North-Western Railway, via Dud ley and Birmingham, which route is 30 miles longer than by this railway. From the foregoing data it must bo assumed that a traffic of at least 1,000,000 tons of coal and a likequantity of iron stone will be attained. The passenger and goods traffic Om the important districts through which it passes cannot • ° : ta ken at less than £3O per mile weekly, especially when ie borne in mind that an immense tra ffi c already exists between Worcester and London in which this Comp a ny Must Participate. Taking -I of a penny per mile for mine -ts, and taking the working expenses at 40 per cent. for I t 'l . inerals, and 50 per cent. for passenger and ordinary goods il a ine, will give the following results : assenger and ordinary goods traffic, at b e 43o per mile per week, over 33 miles... £51,480 duct working expenses at 50 per cent. 25,740 litineral traffic o n 1,000 , 000 t ons coa l 66 " 1,000,000 " ironstono £25,741 2,000 ' 000 at ;of a penny per mile ... 103,121 Deduct Working expenses, 40 per cent... 41,249 61,875 Gross profit Deduct interest on £200,000 Debentures 12,000 Deduct dividend on proposed Preference Sha re Capital of .000,000, at 6 per cent. 18,000 87,615, 30,000 Available for dividend at present issue of Ordi •nlarY Share Capital of X 300,000 £57,615 ;\ - 7, 11 F at the rate of nearly 20 per cent. por annum, o r, if sinhuted equally over the entire Share Capital, giving a mean dividend of nearly 13 per cent. • 1 8 1 , b e wo Lors, the first sod of which was turned in Auust 64 Y rk d and Lady Palmerston, are now far advan g ced, , and will be completed for a single line within eighteen months, and arrangements have been made with Mr. h'ralupton, the contractor, to complete the double line, e the tot a l cap i tal above-mentioned. The add i t i on of second line of rails, the land for which has been pro 'nel€,*l? Will, it i s expected, be completed about the same period. The contractor has agreed to pay interest on the capital now- offered for subscription, at the rate of £6 per per annum until the completion of the single line. The Passin g of the Act during the past Session, for a line ir°lll . Stratford to Worcester, will give a second and a B n l icrter route between those points, and this must materially Lcrease the traffic to and from the line of the East and yest Junction. The passing of the Act authorising the line front Stratford to Worcester and the great prospects of N°. 22,908. this undertaking render it desirable to provide for the doubling of the line, and the estimated mean profits avail able for dividend, if distributed upon such increased capital, will give nearly 13 per cent. per annum. The authorised capital of the Company is £300,000, in 15,000 shares of £2O each, and £lOO,OOO Debentures. The Subscribers for the 14,000 Shares new offered will be required to pay as under:— £1 on Application. £4 on Allotment. £5 21st December, 1865. £5 21st March, 1866. £5 21st June, 1866. £2O The Subscribers will be entitled, on payment of the £4 per Share on allotment, to a Scrip Certificate in respect of each Share subscribed for. When the whole amount of £2O has been paid on each Certificate, the holder will be entitled to have the Share transferred to him in exchange for such Certificate. The non-payment of any instalment will render previous payments liable to forfeiture. The Subscribers will have the option of - paying up in full. Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be allowed on prepayment of instalments. The holders for the time being of the capital now offered for subscription will have the valuable option of taking at par pro rata the proposed Preference Capital of £300,000. Application must be made on the form annexed, and ac companied by payment of £1 per Share (without which no application can be considered) to Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit paid will be returned forthwith without deduction ; and if less than the number of Shares applied for are allotted, the sum paid will be applied towards the amount payable on allotment on the number so allotted. Prospectuses, with maps, plans, &c., may be had of Messrs. Knight, Dale, and Co., 1, Royal Exchange Build ings, and at the offices of the East and West Junction Railway Company (C. Banks, Esq., 'Secretary), 3, West minster Chambers, Westminster, S.W. Nora.—The above calculations are based upon the pre sent requirements of London, viz., 5,600,000 tons, increas ing 500,000 tons annually, of which it is assumed the East and West Junction will secure the carriage of at least 1,000,000 tons at . fd. per ton, the very lowest rate charged by other companies which have no return traffic upon any portion of their line ; but one farthing may be taken as substantiated as a remunerative rate without a return traffic upon the testimony of the highest authorities, at which rate the South Wales coal fields could send coal to London at least 2s. per ton less than the freight from New castle by sea, or the railway tolls by any other system. Thus it is plain that the amount carried must be speedily increased by a large proportion of the seaborne coals, now amounting to 3,000,000 tons annually, seeing that the rail way is a preferable means of carriage. There is no doubt also that if fd. per ton per mile be found practicable, it will prove cheaper to send to the Lon don Docks for shipment the steam coal required for expor tation, in lieu of sending the vessels from London in ballast to load at Cardiff and Newport, and to supply this demand alone another 1,000,000 tons of coal will bo annually sent from South Wales to London.

This Company is formedatih; express solicitation of merchants and others engaged in trading and monetary operations in the Ottoman Empire, for the purpose of ex tending to the mercantile community of Turkey that legi timate aid, which, in more favoured countries, is rendered to commerce by well-conducted banking institutions. The enormous development of the Trade of Turkey within the last few years has not been met by any con tinuous increase of banking facilities ; and when it is con sidered that the total imports and exports have risen from £20,000,000 in 1852 to upwards of £80,000,000 in the year 1864, some idea may be formed of the vast and profitable field which is open to a bank conducted upon Engiish principles, and managed by gentlemen possessing a local and practical knowledge of the country. In the year 1851 the total number of vessels that entered and cleared at the port of Constantinople was only 13,069, tonnage 2,397,316 ; while in the year 1864 the number rose to 48,939, tonnage 7,433,063. At the port of Smyrna the total imports and exports in the year 1854 amounted only to £2,464,525 ; while in 1684 they increased to £8,563,502. In these great centres of Turkish commerce there is but one joint-stock bank in existence. The Ottoman Bank (La Banque Imp4riale Ottomane) is the only bank in Turkey, and the profitable nature of its operations is evidenced from the price of its shares, which, with £lO paid, are quoted at £l6, while the last dividend amounted to 15 per cent. per annum. The operations of the Bank of Turkey will be strictly confined to banking business, to the exclusion of anything connected with the business of a merchant. It will assist commerce, while at the same time it will avoid, on its own part, all interference with or competition in trade. This feature in a bank for Turkey is of peculiar value, and will secure at once for the Company a clientelle of the most unexceptionable and profitable character. The Bank will afford facilities to merchants in this country and on the Continent, for the negotiation of their drafts on correspondents in Turkey. Application for Shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Offices of the Ottoman Company, 20, Threadneedle-street, or at the Offices of the B an k ers, Brokers, and Solicitors; but no application will be consi dered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid. Copies of the memorandum and Articles of Association may be obtaoinedeeastotfhteheOßffiacnek. Copies Offices of CtohpeSs will olici be tor forwarded by Temporary Offices by post, without charge, on application to the Secretary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES (To bo retained by the Bankers.)

The total receipts at New York from the Ist September to the beginning of the present week, and at the Southern ports from September. Ist to October 14th, have been as follows, compared with the same period of the preceding years : 1865-66 1860-61 1859-60 1858-59 1857-58 Since Sept. 1. Bales. 302,000 352,000 375,000 340,000 161,000 It thus appears that the movement has been nearly equal to that of the most active of former years. The exports, from the samo points and to tho same dates, com pare as follow: To Great To Other Britain. France Foreign Por:s. Bales. Bales. Bal:s. Total. 1865-66 94,000 7,000 — 101,000 1860-61 57,000 18,000 12,000... 87,000 1859-60 95,000 29,000 12,000...136,000 1858-59 55,000 25,000 7,003... 87,000 1857-58 41,000 5,000 4 ,000... 50,000 Only in the year 1859-60 has tho activity of the ex ports, for this period, equalled that of the present year, The stock at all the ports at the same dates was as fol lows :--- Bales. 1865-66 321,000 1860-61 387,000 1859-60 319,000 1858-59 281,000 1857-58 145,000 Thus it appears that only in the year 1860-61 has the stock of cotton at the ports equalled that held during the present month. The total receipts of cotton at New York from January Ist to October 23d were 553,320 bales, against 229,580 bales for the same period of 1864. Should the receipts at this port continue at the current rate up to the close of the year, the total imports of New York for 1865 will reach 850,000 bales. It is impossible to do more than vaguely guess at the amount of cotton still held in the interior of the South. The firm of Neill Brothers and Co. estimate the amount held in Georgia, at the close of the war and on the 15th inst., to have been as follows : Towns and groups At close of war. On Oct. 15. of villages. Bales. Bales. Macon Atlanta.. — Augusta ... 45,000 Columbus... .. 3,000 Georgetown &c 5,000 Albany 15,000 Americus. ... 5 , 000 Cuthbert, &c. . 10,000 Bainbridge, &c ... 10,000 Griffen Madison, &c B,OOO .. .. 5,000 On plantations Now crop ... ... 43,000 , r o o o p o or proportion Gf th fi 2 e s e o nfr o e stock . it is difficult t n t d o t s o a t y al w . h .. a 3 t o p 2 of the South is held in Georgia, or these s u u r p es ply m . igh ln t give a basis upon which to estimate the to t tal g 1860 the Georgia crop was 131 per cen rat . io of the entire cotton crop of the South. If the same main tained now, it would follow that in the enure Swertehthi.s at the present time about 3 375 000 bales. ;n u t as it is impossible to say how far military '' operatons have dis arranged the movements of cotton in the interior, it is im possible to estimate how far these figures depart from the facts of the case. They, however, afford reason for sup posing that there is a very large amount of cotton st ill remaining in the interior of the South. The Times special correspondent says the Southern people aro anxious to plant cotton, and would raise it on every acre of land adapted to itsculture, but the scarcity of labourers prevents them. The Southern jour nals are begging the people of the North and of Europe to come among them and buy the cotton lands. The best can be bought for $lO in paper per acre. The Havre cotton market was not well attended by buyers last week, and there was not much business transacted. Some bags of Louisianian cotton were sold at t47f. 50c. Tho broker s subse q uently reduced the prices sy . from sf. to 12f., and the following quotations were pub lished: Louisiana, 235 f.; g ood ordinary Egyptian, 270 f.; Peruvian, 265 f. ; Brazilian, 273 f. ; Sawgtnned, 220 f. ; Broach, 215 ; Dhollerah, 210 ; Tinnevelly, 215 f.; Kurra chee, 150 f. There was an improvement in the price of cotton in the Marseilles market towards the end of the week. Some bags of Jumel were sold at 275 f.; 5m,,.„ 195 f. ; Aleppo, 170 f. the 50 kilogrammes.

This Company is established to acquire Petroleum Lands in America, either by purchase or lease ; to work those lands on its own account, or to re-sell or sub-let them, and generally to trade in Petroleum. A preliminary contract has been entered into for the pur chase by the Company of the undermentioned properties : The freehold of 1,343 acres, and the leases of 4,830 acres —together 6,173 acres, situate in Kanawha, Calhoun, Mason, Ritchie, Putnam, Wirt, and Jackson counties—in the centre of the petroleum producing district of Western Virginia; the leases are, as to 3,173 acres for 15 years, and as to 1,657 acres for 10 years, at royalties of one-fifth of the oil. _ _ These lands boar upon them undeniable evidence of oil. Not a week passes but oil is struck on adjacent properties ; the yiel d of the wells being - from 15 to 7Ql4rels. of oil daily, of the best lubricating which, pervades the whole district, and is saleable at the well's mouth at from 40 to 50 dollars per barrel. The Situation of the lands, with respect to transit, is excellent, some being within 20 miles of Parkersburg, the metropolis of the oil district of Western Virginia, which is connected by a branch of the Baltimore Railway with Northern and Western America • w hile others are on or near the Ohio, Great Kanawha, Elk, and Poca talico Rivers, all of which are navigable. The farms leased or sold to this company are all occu pied and cultivated. Wood is abundant, and the best Cann el coal underlies the surfae: at a very moderate depth, giving the company the peculiar advantage of obtaining fuel at a nominal cost. The sum to be paid for the acquisition of the property, including all engines, tools, derricks, and other fixtures, is £30,000 in paid-up shares of the company, and £130,000 in cash, by instalments, out of which the vendor empowers the directors to retain (say 64 per cent. or about £85,000) sufficient to guarantee a minimum dividend of 8 per cent. per annum for ten years on the amount paid up on shares , allotted to the public. This res erve d amoun t will be depo- I sited, as the instalments are paid, with the Bank of London, in the names of trustees, to be appointed by the directors, on behalf of the shareholders. n is im tirel p y o f s r s e i e bl f e re t in hat sp a e n cu u l n a d ti e e rta n, ki bu n t g ee o n f sithdiesrninagtutrbeesheaotuilsd. be e l e t factory nature of various reports that have been received copies of which lie at the office of the Company for inspec tion, the fact that the purchase-money is represented by a large extent of freehold land, and the substantial guarantee of a minimum dividend, the directors have no hesitation in recommending the enterprise to the investing public. It is the intention of the Board that a deputation will proceed to America to consult with the eommittee in New York, in order to place the working of the Company under the most efficient management, and the circumstance that large workings have been commenced, and that wells are now going down a considerable depth on the property, warrants the Directors also in expecting that the Company will soon be in a position to pay highly remunerative divi dends on capital, much in excess of the guaranteed mini mum of 8 per cent. Bearing in mindthe disappointments which have resulted to the public from the recent refusals of settling days by the Committee of the Stock Exchange, the Directors will apply for a settlement within ono month after allotment, and have arranged to return it in full if no settlement is granted to the Company. Applications for Shares to be made in the accompanying form. In the event of no allotment being made, the de posit will bo returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and forms of application for Shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Bankers, okersand for Sol Purchases, together tteethgeAbretricles with a plan of Associationan of and Contract the several properties, can bo seen.

Mr. Ruskin delivered a lecture at the Working Men's College, Great Ormond-street, on Saturday evening, to a large number of students of that esta blishment. The lecturer introduced his subject by disclaiming all intention of delivering a formal lec ture on the matter which he had chosen for his text —Art. He had come there to see them, and to have a friendly chat, and it would be the students' fault if they allowed him to have all the talk to himself. His visits to the college had not been so frequent as he could have wished. This was owing to various causes, but chiefly to illness, and, he was bound to confess, to idleness also. It might, perhaps, be for tunate for the students that his visits were few, for he confessed that there was much more important business on their hands than drawing. This was a critical time in the history of the country, and the matters to which men had to give their minds were of a more serious kind than painting. It was the difference between going out in a lifeboat and going out to Venice on a tour. Workmen were being upset in their lifeboat, and their fellows were strug gling, and clinging to the oars in a rough sea; and the proper time to speak of art and to listen to him would be when they had got into the lagoons. He would congratulate them, however, on the pro gress they had made under the guidance of their teachers—men who, he thought, were much better qualified than himself to teach them. After advising the students to follow the advice of their teachers, the lecturer proceeded to criticise the condition of art in this country, and drew a not very flattering he s h a a i id, ourwas T g h e t a t m i n e g a picture of its progress. Art, ignoble as well as noble. True we ' embankment, but we were marring its beauty by putting a railway under it. We had gas-meters that blew up. and chimneys that blew down. No doubt, when we had done our best, it was very pro voking to be criticised, but he was naturally a grumbler, and he had come there to grumble. Com petition was the great curse of England, for eompe tition would keep anyone from excelling in any graceful thing or any subtle thing. It was not the • love of money,-o,4vas rrAkihP love of gain, that prompted commercial men of the present age to sacrifice beauty to mere mechanical detail. They were like pigs grubbing for roots. It was the love of getting more roots than their fellow-pigs. Now, in matters of art it was impossible for any man to compete with another, and the only thing a man could do was to make the best use of the gifts given to him, instead of borrowing and trying to imitate the gifts of others. In everyone there was that which made imitation impossible. And in this lay the true source of independence, for independence was the developing of our own gifts and depending on those above us. This did not destroy indivi duality, for individuality was like a link in the chain which bound all together. Neither could there be true competition where equality did not exist, and the whole virtue of competition depended on the competitors being equally matched. Every man was made for a certain duty, and what man was made for that he must remain, and it was by looking to higher things that excellence could be achieved. There was a kind of pleasurable competition, how ever, that had a real good about it, for it had the effect of trying the strength and giving the necessary quantity of excitement to enable us to get on ; but the pleasure depended on its being a trial of brotherly skill, in which the de sire of the antagonist's success should predominate. Again, as only men can compete with equals, se also can they compete only with equal things. All intelli lectual work - becomes a fellowship, and anything contrary was entirely mechanical, and thus compe tition drove men into the mechanical part of art. Great artists, said the lecturer, were altogether ig norant of what they could do. Anyone could tell which was the better of two clever drawings ; but of two clever ideas it was not any one who could tell which was the cleverest. The lecturer then pro ceeded to give an example of the degradation of which art was capable by referring to a piece of work, exhibited some time ago, in which the feathers of an eagle were modelled with extreme care, each feather being separate, the work occupyinc , three years in its completion. Three hours at the Zoo logical Gardens would enable thelecturer to produce a better picture than the one to which he had re ferred, and which bad been cast in bronze or some patent metal. This love of pains, acting with all the other evil tendencies of the age, produced a de graded art, and in following out the mere dexterity of the finger the workman was losing all sense of beauty. In all great art there should be the draw ing of the hand, of intellect, and of passion. It grieved him to say that much of this state of things was owing not only to the false taste of the public, but to the competition which existed between artists and between workmen, and from which even Turner himself was not wholly free. He declared that the three days preceding the annual opening of the Rcyal Academy were days of shame, for there might be seen artists of merit trying to out-colour one another by the power of vermillion. Mr. Ruskin asserted that he had never seen the portrait of a beautiful English girl ; and while there were such noble and lovely creatures in England we were content to have mere vulgar representatives of them. Beauty was sacrificed to prettiness. The lecturer then proceeded to compare the state of art in this country with that of ancient Greece, and for that purpose exhibited two drawings of ancient coins of the towns of Camarina and Tarentum. Comparing these with our latest coin issued, he drew attention to the high ex cellence of the one as a work of art and to the degraded and utterly unmeaning character of the other. The Greeks, by a perfect system of sym bols, told the history of their respective towns, while we were content to have Britannia deified, and not knowing what to give her for a seat we had placed a shield to cover the defect. In order to characterise the commercial nature of the country we used a ship and a lighthouse, and stoleNeptnne's trident to symbolise our power over the sea, After touching on various subjects, in the course of which he questioned the value of the Crystal Palace as an educational agency, and alluded to the self-glorifi cation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company, the lecturer concluded by advising the students to refrain from all desire of competi tion, and to get 'what good they could from their fellow-men, but above all to watch themselves, for progress mind grew cou a l n il d only be the m b a o d d e y by g watching rew. how the be GRAND HOTEL AT CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK. —We learn from the Daily News that Mr. Hiram Cranston, the proprietor of the New York Hotel, has lately pur chased the block of ground bounded by Fifth Avenue, Fifty-ninth-street, Madison Avenue, and Sixtieth-street, for the purpose of erecting a magnificent hotel. This is at the Fifth Avenue entrance to the Central Park, and beyond question the most desirable location that can now be found for such an enterprise. The building will pro bably excel any hotel building in this country or in Europe in magnificence and in extent of its dimensions. It is proposed to expend about two million dollars, includ ing tho price paid for the land.
