PROSPECTUS. tr t he present object is to offer for public Subscription the half of the A St oc k o f th e Metropolitan Extension "ways of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, amounting to £1,212,000, which, with the £1,213,000 to be I :s l , s ted onl y as f ully paid-up Stock, at not less a price than ;c-u per cent. inc rease on the present price of issue, or ear lier than twelve months hence, completes the amount of 42A25,000, the total amount of that Stock. Full details of the linos and their present position are g'ven at length in the statement annexed, which, with the attached, show the routes of these lines and those in c onnexion. In considering this Stock as an investment, the principal Points for consideration are, first, the amount of Stock to PaY dividend upon ; secondly, the probable receipts ; thirdly, the minimum dividend per cent. to yield a fair return on the price of issue. The capital of the Metropolitan Extension Railways is Constituted as follows, viz.:— Debentures £1,433,300 1 3 Stock, entitled to 6 per cent. Preference C Stock, entitled to 6 percent. P re f erence a ft er ß 1,050,000 A. Stock (present Issue) Entitled to remainder For future Issue as fully of Profits .£1,212,000 2,425,000 paid-up Stock up to 6p. ct. 17213,000 £5,733,000 The total mileage is about 14 miles. The traffic on the Metropolitan (Underground) hasßailway amounted s i nce I s t J anuary, 1865, to an averag i e_t 67 43 per mil e per week, which i s moreover d ai ly increasn o bi nd at p resent arises from metropolitan passengers, a trifling ana eunt only of th roug h traf fi c, an d no goods being as yet ca rried on thi s li ne. I f . considered _ . . When it is that the present traffic on_ the -wletropolitan Extension Railways in London, Chatham, "cl Dover Company is conducted over only two lines of .w aY, and still a inadequate amount of rollm that it is unfinished, and that the prtion at work has g stock, has only recently been opened, it will be observed . that the Present receipts afford no reliable data, upon which to form an estimate of the probable traffic. petTo fix the amount at anything like what is felt by com ent judges will be the actual result when the enormous traffic that the junctions with the Metropolitan (Under t Vr:, lll 4. t tl), the Great Northern, the Midland, the Grea ' s 'ern, the West London Extension, the South Western, Fine the North Western, will bring on the lines, might be 7:4__)nsidered an exaggeration by those inexperienced in h wonderful elasticity of metropolitan and suburban traffic. i It is therefore thought better not to estimate the probable i r q affine higher than the average of the mileage receipts of the viz.,etropolitan (Underground) Railway, as above mentioned, turn li : taGier el3,4Peor mile per Extension This multiplied by the mile -Re of the metropolitan m Lines of the .v L e on a do r n el and Dover Railway Company would give t j e °, X 489,941 per annum. From this sum . must . be Per cent, for working charges, which is a liberal estimate. The net results from passengers only may be estimate therefore at £293,966 per annum. . f„ 1.11 larg e alike goods traffic, which these lines will enjoy from the admirable position and number of the stations as_ 'eteta_the arrangements made for working the traffic, will a t ," 4llll Y augment the receipts by at least XlO,OOO ne per na te . . v. , . beat m, inch, in that case, after paying intere . st . on de -6 etures on the 13 and C Stocks, would yield a dividend . of ~.4. 3 2 , cent. on the whole of the .£2,425,000 A Stock (in off itg the present issue), which, at the price it is now (in offer at Th e 2 would be equal to 10 per cent. per annum. e on Z e rl , rice at which the A Stock is now offer . ed mu one 1 ,„„ o u_ rell most advantageous to the investor if only - ` re t c ",,, t this result isattained; when however the increased _ nm ' e l t Pt e s e l Yonld permit a dividend of 5 per cent., the Stock Profit °f upwards rise to par, which would praicall7 ,. bo ue a It ,?_i of 47 per cent. above the . price of is... hoy . 0 figur es prisidered that results approaching the above Stead y be reached in less than two years, and that a 41.11.43' increase may be further looked for from that time. to„'.,„ngernents have therefore been made with Sir S.

Every movementupon the forthcoming Derby being now watched with feverish anticipation, the doings anent that all important contest was truly the feature of the proceed ings at Salisbury. Last year Scottish Chief experienced some opposition for " the blue riband," and the only move ment of consequence adverse to the favourites was that againstWild.Charley, who at one time during the afternoon went to 15 to 1, but subsequently returned to his old price, 12 to 1, though it was evident that Mr. Merry's representa tive was in a very unsettled position. Koenig and Kangaroo were hopelessly knocked out of the market, and their stable companion The Duke was by no means in such good colour, Gladiateur was firm at 11 to 2, and 8 to 1 would have been eagerly taken about Archimedes if it could have been obtained. Longdown was not so firm, but Christmas Carol was in better demand. The only feature of the day's racing was the Queen's Plate, which produced a most exciting contest with Friday, Blackdown, and Ackworth, the latter of whom, though he ran gamely, could never quite reach Friday in the final struggle, Mr. Parr's young 'un winning cleverly at the finish. After the race 1,000 to 20 was several times taken about Friday for the Derby, but afterwards 1,000 to 15 was laid. Subsb quently, however, en route to town 1,000 to 20 was three or four times booked about the scion of Defiance and Con stance.

The payments left a balance at the end of the year of £160,000 Exchequer Bills, and £39,092 16s. Dd. cash. General Sir FREDK. SMMI, M.P., responded for the Army, Admiral Sir GEORGE BACK for the Navy, and Alderman ROSE, M.P., for the Volunteers. The toast of " The House of Lords" was next given, and Lord BELPER responded. The LORD MAYOR proposed " General Sabine, the President, and the Council of the Royal Society." In doing so he observed that he felt honoured be yond measure at finding around him as iarge if not a larger amount of talent than ever before assembled within those walls—men of science whose efforts had done so much good in the county at rarge. (Ap plause.) It had always been his wish that if ever he should become Lord Mayor of London he might have the honour of entertaining a body of gentlemn who were distinguished in this country for their scientific attainments, and for the great benefits they had conferred upon mankind. There could be no doubt that the men of science had been of infinite benefit to their race. (Hear, hear.) The country had its army and navy to defend their homes, and they were most thankful for what the army and the navy had done ; but still there was work to be done at home, and it was interesting to observe that im provement after improvement was carried out through the progress of science, to the comfort and happiness of the world. There were many noble men and gentlemen who devoted their time and their talents to scientific purposes, and it was grati fying to him, as it must also be to all present, to acknowledge the many great discoveries which were made under their auspices or with their assistance. They were honoured that evening with the presence of the President, Council, and Fellows of the Royal Society, and he called upon the company to respond to the toast in such a manner as • would show how highly they valued the important information they communicated with one country to anrther through out the country. (Cheers.) General SABINE returned thanks. Having traced the history , and stated some particulars regarding the preset t position of the Royal Society, he said it could eot be otherwise than gratifying to him to hear from the lips of the chief magistrate of the city of London an acknowledgement of the benefits which the Royal Society and other kindred insti tutions, had conferred upon society. Every scientific institutions in the metropolis must be considered to have added its preportion at least to the benefits which had been rendered by the Royal Society ; and, therefore, he felt, as the representative of that society, that he must express his gratitude to the Lord Mayor for the manner in which he had spoken of the general progress and advantages of science. As regarded the members of the Royal Society, he might truly say that every opportunity of meeting the citizens of London was to them pecu liarly agreeable. In the early period of their history they had their home under the fostering care of the Gresham College, and they could not readily forget the many benefits they then received from that valued institution. Since that time science had ad vanced with the national prosperity, and he must be permitted to say that the scientific resources of the country had been developed in a degree which he could only regard as marvellous, and it gave him considerable pleasure to hear the fact recognised upon festive festive occasions such as the present. (Cheers.) Lord CHELMSFORD proposed "The Health of the Lord Mayor." It had been his good fortune on many occasions to partake of the hospitality of the city of London. lie had sat in that hall when the Government of the country were being honoured ; he had sat there in the ranks of those who were en- gaged in the chilling duty of the Opposition ; he had sat there when the heads of the Church and of the law had been entertained; but he had never been there to do honour to a more interesting occasion than the present. It was indeed satisfactory that the Lord Mayor should make the Royal Society the nucleus of bringing together all those who were famous in literature and science. (Applause.) Those who were not scientific, and like himself had the privilege of associating with some of the most dis tinguished men of the day, might perhaps be able to say when they left that magnificent hall, with the nightingale in the Eastern fable, " I have lived with the rose, and smelt of its sweetness." Those who, like him, were not connected with science, should value highly the privilege of being associated with the scientific gentlemen present. He could not but feel deeply the honour of being associated with them, and he begged to propose the health of the Lord Mayor. (Cheers.) _ _ The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the com pliment, and proposed " The Royal Geographical Society, associated With the name of Sir Roderick Murchison." Sir RODERICK MURCHISON gracefully responded to the toast. Among the other toasts were—" Practical Science," spoken to by Sir J. RENNIE ; the " House of Com mons," Mr. WALPOLF, M.P., responding ; and the " Health of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and the Mayors of Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham," to which the LORD MAYOR of Dublin replied in an effective speech, availing himself of the occasion to refer to the success which had attended the opening of the Dublin Exhibition. The banquet was admirably served by Messrs Ring ant Bryiner. Under the direction of Mr. J. L. Hatton, there was a charming selection of vocal music performed by the Misses Wells and Mr. Chaplin Henry. Mr. Harker acted as toastmaster. Price 6d., by post 7d., - -- "OHURCH AND ' QUEEN."

The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was hold yesterday at the offices, Spring-gar dens—Sir John Thwaites the chairman, presiding. Mr. DALTON called the attention of the board to the fact that Mr. John Thwaites, their chairman, had received the honour of knighthood from her Majesty, and in doing so said—As her Majesty has done our chairman the honour of conferring on him the honour of knighthood, which we all rejoice to see, I think ft is a compliment conferred on the whole board—(hear, hear).—and I trust that he may be blessed with health and strength to perform the duties of his office for many years to come. (Cheers.) Mr. SAVAGE proposed that the words of Mr. Dalton be entered on the minutes of the board. Mr. NICHOLAY said there was no doubt the board was very much pleased at the compliment that had been passed upon them through their chairman, and he hoped that he would long occupy the position he now so ably filled. (Hear.) He then seconded the proposal of Mr. Savage, and it was agreed to. The CHAIFMAN then said—Gentlemen, I thank you for the expression of your kindly feelings in reference to the honour which her Majesty has been pleased to confer on myself. It has been truly stated that it is not so much an honour to myself as to the board over which I have the honour to preside. I think this board will not object to enter on its minutes the letter which I received from Sir George Grey, as it is a part of the history of this board, and ought to be recorded on the minutes of their proceed ings. I, therefore, propose that the clerk shall be instructed to enter that letter ou the minutes of their proceedings. The suggestion was acceded to. Mr. POLLARD, the clerk to the board, read communica tions from the St. Martin's-in-the-Fields Vestry, St. Mary lebone Vestry, Strand District Board of Works, St. Saviour's, Hackney, Westminster, and Whitechapel District Boards ; the Paddington, St. Mary Stratford, Kensington, and Shore ditch Vestries ; the Common Council of the City, and from Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Norwood, protesting against the proposed grant of £lO,OOO to the e ngineers. They were ordered to be entered on the minutes of the board. Mr. Sam; the solicitor to the Wuxi, ; brought up the new Fire Brigade Bill, of which he had made the following analysis :—The metropolis is defined to comprise all parts within the jurisdiction of the board. After the Ist of Jan, 1866, the duty of the board shall be deemed to be. to extin guish fires and protect life and property from fire, and for that purpose they shall have the power of providing and maintaining an efficient force, properly equipped. The board was also empowered to purchase buildings and land for stations, stables, and dwellings, houses for the firemen, and to contract to lay down telegraphic communication from one station to another. The sixth clause gave them power to purchase the existing plants of the Fire Brigade, together with their offices and building. The force was to be constituted under the command of an officer, to be called the chief officer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The chief officer and men of the Fire Brigade were to be ap pointed and removed to the pleasure of the board. The board was to regulate salaries, pensions, and rewards for services. They were also to have power to make arrange ments for the purchase of fire escapes, or to contribute to the funds of fire escape societies. The powers of the brigade were next defined, and the police were overpowered toassist them in the execution of their duties. To meet the ex penses of the brigade every office that insured against fire will have to pay £35 per annum fox every million pounds sterling of property they insured fn the metropolis, and the contributions are to be considered as specialty debts due to the board, and recovered accordingly. The Treasury was to contribute a sum annually, not exceeding £lO,OOO, ac cording as Parliament might vote it. The board might, with the consent of the Treasury, borrow £40,000 for the purposes of the act. Then followed various miscellaneous. provisions for regulating officers, penalties for chimneys on fire, recovery of penalties, audit of accounts, and of establish ment of a salvage force, for employing the force beyond the metropolis, and to permit the brigade to be used within the metropolis, for special services, on terms to bo agreed upon. The board was empowered to levy a rate not exceed ing id. in the pound, to be raised like the rates under the Metropolis Local Management Act, except that the beard was to issue a warrant to the overseers, who were to collect the money with the poor rate. The board adopted the general principles of the bill, and referred it to the Streets Committee to consider the clauses in detail. Mr. BAZALGETTE brought up the report of Dr. Lotheby and himself relative to the nuisances created by certain manufactories at Crossness. It went into the details very minutely, and described them as intolerable nuisances, and very injurious to the health of the officers connected with the Main Drainage Works. The report was referred to the Main Drainage Committee, with power to take such steps as were necessary to remove the nuisances complained of. The routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. Extraordinary Charge of Using Threats. William Cooper, tho secretary to the London Engineering and Iron Shipbuilding Company, was yesterday placed at the bar of the Mansion house, before the Lord Mayor, having been apprehended by Detective-sergeant Funnel!, upon a warrant signed by his lordship, charging him with having used towards Capt. Symonds threatening language, and causing him to go in bodily fear. Mr. Wainewright appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Wontner appeared for the defendant. Mr. Wainewright stated that the defendant was the secretary of the London Engineering and Iron Ship-build ing Company, of which the complainant was the chairman. The defendant had unfortunately latterly given way to intemperance to such a degree as to call for some remon strance on the part of Mr. Symonds. Since then the de fendant had behaved in a very extraordinary manner— carrying horse-pistols about with him, and sharpening knives and daggers, which he said he was going to use against different people. On the 13th instant Mr. Symonds wrote to Mr. Cooper a letter of remonstrance, and received in reply the following letter:—" My'dear Sir,—l have re ceived your letter of the 13th instant ; the contents of it I do not understand. lam not aware of anything terrible in my conduct. I have warned you, not once but twice, before not to cross me. I now beg to say that I intend summoning a special meeting of directors on Tuesday next, the 16th instant, as I consider the contents of your letter so deeply involve the interests of the com pany of which I have the great honour to be the secre tary, that I must have these charges investigated, and that, too, sans peur, sans reproche.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient, Wm. COOPER:. On Saturday night last the defendant called at Mr. Symonds'house, and wished to see him, and on being told that he was out he said if he saw him he would do for him. In fact, the defendant's conduct had become so peculiar that the only conclusion to be arrived at was that his mind was deranged. Mr. Edward Symonds was examined, and said he was a captain in the Royal navy, and was the chairman of the London Engineering and Iron Ship-building Company, of 60, Fenchurch-street, of which the defendant was secretary. lie had known the defendant about 15 years, having been during that time intimately associated with him. He in troduced him to the company of which he was secretary. About three weeks ago ho observed the defendant to be very excited in his manner, and noticed certain irregulari ties in his attendance at the office; and although he had previously received any remarks from witness in perfect good humour, he appeared latterly to become excited upon the least possible:difference of opinion. The letterproduced, and which had been read by Mr.Wainewright, was in the de fendant's handwriting, and he received it in answer to one he wrote the defendant on the morning of the 13th. On the night of that day, about half-past ten, the defendant, with his wife, called at witness's house, in Adam-street, Adelphi, and asked to see him. By his instructions the housekeeper denied him, and defendant said he would write him a letter. He then went into witness's office, and remained there about an hour, and he heard him leave the office and call the housekeeper to tell her to give that letter to that fellow, and toll him it was his last chance. (The letter which had been produced was the same.) He hoard defendant stamping and knocking his stick on the floor, telling the housekeeper not to be afraid him, nor to be afraid to give him the let ter, and said it was lucky for the that he was not at home, or he would knock him down and do for him. Wit ness said he was not actuated by any malicious motive, but rather the contrary ; but ho must say he was afraid his life was in danger from defendant's conduct. Sergeant Funnell said he apprehended the prisoner on the previous evening about five o'clock. He and Sergeant Scott saw him in a cab, and got in after him. He (witness) caught hold of his hands and told him he could not let him go as he had firearms about him. Defendant said he had a loaded pistol, and he took from his trousers pocket a small seven-chamber revolver, loaded and capped. He told the defendant he could not loose him yet as he believed he had a dagger strapped to his leg. Defendant said he had not, and would show him. Witness, however, caught hold of his leg, but he only found the sheath of a dagger buckled , on his leg. The dagger he afterwards found had been , taken away for safety. In defendant's pocket he found a ' purse full of cartridges. Tho Lord Mayor said he could not think of allowing the defendant to be at large after what he had heard. Mr. Wontner suggested that an early day should be fixed The defendant was accordingly remanded until this day (Saturday). The Poonah has arrived from Alexandria with £22,876. Leotard, the accomplished performer on the trapeze, has at length performed once too often. He has had a bad fall at Madrid and broken his leg. THE CHARGE AGAINST PRESIDENT DAVIS. —We shall not be so forgetful of our honour—we shall not so in sult our readers—as to point out how baseless is this scan dalous charge against the gallant gentleman, who, under the most fearful provocation, would not and did not reta liate on the Federals for their atrocities. We hope that President Davis will not fall into the hands of his enemies. If he does he will doubtless be murdered. President John son will not care for the protests of England and France, if such protests have been sent to Washington. If Presi dent Davis is to suffer a felon's death at the North sure we are that he will meet his fate with t he calmness, fortitude, and dignity that becomes a pure patriot, a brave gentle man, and a devout Christian. President Johnson may murder Jefferson Davis—will murder him if he has the opportunity, but he cannot foul the great and glorious name of his victim.—lndez THE ALLEGED E3IBEZZLEMENT BY A RAILWAY SECRETARY.—Since the shocking death of Mr. Wholon, the late secretary of the North Western Railway, an examination of the accounts of the various charities and concerns of which ho was treasurer, or of which he had the management, has been made, and it appears that, though the books have not been kept in a systematic manner, no deficiency has yet been found in any of them, except the North Western accounts, in which defalcations have been discovered to the extent of £39,000, for which the company are responsible. It is thought that a further deficiency may still appear. The deceased was unfortunate in his speculation as a shipowner. Just previous to the break out of the war in America he embarked in the cotton trade, being part owner of some mills in Preston, and this speculation has proved an unprofitable one. It is stated that in addition to these ho had speculated largely in the Confederate Loan, and has been a sufferer to a very large amount. Great anxiety is felt by some of the holders of securities as to tho genuineness of the signatures attached to the debentures deposited with them.
