This large traffic is owing to two causes : 1 . Th e 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 age the Atlantic. From its shorter distance and advan of forming part of an unbroken line of 1, , 200 miles on %littiforin six-feet gauge, it must always be the best line %. c ommunication by which the enormous goods and pas e,eger traffic centring in the Western cities of Cincinnati, I;.eveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at Now '2 l * and the sea-board. tracer su n g 1 traffic is equally enormous, owing to its sing the newly-discovered oil districts of Pennsyl- Oeia and the great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some ofea be ' the local traffic thus waiting for development may formed from the single fact that this oil district now Yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the —llveyance of which as much as ed. to 4d. per ton per 41i le is willingly paid. -A.

The new shares will illPersede those previously issued, with the exception of 4919,000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of le security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in I,2ember, 1864, which will, therefore, remain Preferential ' 6l those Certificates are paid off, when the whole be- 110 ordinary share capital. Provision is made in the 11° r tgage deed (under which the Consolidated Mortgage - ' l,l s are issued) for securing the rights of the existing °l. tgage Bonds, and also for their exchange at maturity, e arlier, by consent of the holder, if authorised by the gird of Control ; this being completed, the present Con -I;,,"(lated Mortgage will become the first mortgage over the ) „ L 'ele railway, with its branches, extensions, and equip se he Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of N o 2; 0 00,000, half in Shares and h a lf i n Mortgage Bonds, ",„, l eh provides for th e c om pl e ti on o f th e en ti re line. et,',? meet the interest on these Bonds at 7 per cent. in ,ing, after paying all working expenses, it is calculated Forbes that a gross annual receipt of $6,442,000 ett '„ ll, d be sufficient, which is considerably less than the date receipt, and $3,573,000 less than Mr. Forbes's esti a,,",e of the annual receipt when the additional 100 miles e i e , e Pened, so that the security for the Bonds is ample, of !here is every prospect that, in addition, a high rate c a p vidend will be paid on the $30,000,000 of Share eOl he Consolidated Bonds have 25 years to run, with n;,ll_Pens for interest at 7 per cent. per annum, payable Crterly, free of income tax, at the Company's Offices, in , 4(101 1 or New York, in gold.

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.

An arrangement has been concluded with Messrs.

PERSIA. - The Royal mail steamship Persia, from Now York on the 29th ult., arrived at Queenstown at 1 a.m. to-day (Dec. 10), with 123 passengers, but no specie. She landed 72 sacks of mails and four passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool at 1.20 a.m. All well. NEW YORK, Nov. 29 (MORNING). General Grant has set out upon a Southern tour of in spection. It is reported that•he will visit the Rio Grande. Strong apprehensions are prevalent in Texas, Missis sippi, and other lofts of the South of a negro insurrection about Christmas. The military authorities in Mississippi have taken the necessary precautions in view of such a probability, and the planters in Texas have sent their families, cotton, and valuables into the sea-coast towns. Twelve hundred nogroes have left Charleston to re turn to the employment of their former masters on Sea A conflict of authority has arisen between the civil and military authorities at Mobile. The United States Circuit Court has assembled at Nor folk, Virginia. It is rumoured that this court will try Mr. Davis. The general tone of the members of Congress arrived in Washington indicates an almost unanimous feeling against the immediate admission of Southern members to Congress. The French Minister at Washington has presented to the consideration of the Government the question of the seizure by the Government of French tobacco at Rich mond, which is now being investigated. All Federal volunteers in Texas will bo withdrawn and replaced by regulars. The Fenian flag has been hoisted over the Fenian head quarters in Union-square. Toronto despatches published here state that the 60th Regiment had passed up en route for London. Official re turns estimated the number of Fenians in Canada at 70,000. All the Catholics had been drawn out of the volunteer forces, and both Orangemen and Catholics were arming. The New York Times states that the report of the Secre tary of the Treasury will be merely an amplification of his Fort Wayne speech. The Tribune says President Johnson's Message will take the ground that while the United States cannot be indiffe rent to the events transpiring in Mexico, yet interference on their part is unnecessary, and would prove injurious both to the United States and the Liberal cause. The President's late despatch to the Governor of Missis sippi, concerning the withdrawal of the troops from that State, is extremely consolatory in tone. The Louisiana, Caledonia, Allemania, Nova Scotian, City of Baltimore, and Scotia have arrived out. The Governor of Alabama, in his message to the Legislature, urges the adoption of the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, and the passage of a clause for the protection of negroes. The Governor of Mississippi iu his message to the Legislature recommends that negro testimony be re ceived in the courts of justice, and that measures be passed for the protection of negroes, and for the taxation' of ne grees to support vagrant blacks. He approved the adop tion of a special code for their government. The Governor of Louisiana has called a special session of the Legislature to elect members to Congress. The Galveston News of the Ist says :—" Im mense quantities of cotton are accumulating at Millican, the terminus of the Central Railroad. The country back of Millican, especially the Port Sullivan neighbourhood, has raised a fine crop of cotton, and we learn that the freedmen there are doing better than in some localities. We hear of two on a plantation near Port Sullivan who gathered 7751 b. of cotton in half a day. The attorneys of the South, from all accounts, are reaping abundant pecuniary harvests by their charges in drawing up petitions in behalf of Southern applicants for pardon. Ono attorney of South Carolina has forwarded upwards of one thousand petitions to the Attorney-Gene ral's office, for each of which he received the fee of $25. It is officially ascertained, from the rolls in pos session of the Government that Gen. Lee's army, when it surrendered, contained 28,000 men, and Gen. Johnston's 37,000. General Fitzhugh Lee is practising law in Nevada. Gen. Duff Green, of Alabama, died at Mobile on the 11th of November. Semmes, of Alabama piracy notoriety, is doing business at Natchez, Miss. The seat in Congress of James Brooks, of New York, is to be contested. General William 11. Morris, United States' Volunteers, is in London.

Lane, managing editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, died on the 14th. Col. Wm. Christy, of New Orleans, died on the 7th instant. T. Buchanan Read, the American poet and painter, is engaged in painting a portrait of Major-General Phil. Sheridan. A. H. Stephens has refused in the most decided terms to allow the use of his name in connection with the Governorship of Georgia. Major-General Rosecranz arrived in New York on the 19th ult., from a three months' tour through the gold and silver regions of the Pacific. General Butler, it is said, intends to make Washington his permanent residence, and is negotiating for the purchase of a house. General Charles Yates, late commander of the New York National Guard, and his family are en route to Italy. General M'Clellan is at present residing in apartments at Dresden, in which city many American families are staying for the winter. Dr. George J. Bucknell, late surgeon in the regular army of the United States, is spending the winter with his family at Frankfort. Gov. Wright, the talented and popular American ambassador at Berlin, has taken an elegant residence, and gives weekly receptions to the Americans, of whom there are about one hundred at present staying in that city. The celebrated Maine sculptor, Simmons, has received an order for a colossal statue of President Lincoln, for Independence-square, Philadelphia. It will be in bronze and cost $30,000. Dr. Bergh and Dr. Mumm, judges of the City Court of Frankfort, have been elected Senators of the Republic of Frankfort to fill two vacancies. The Flank fort Senators hold their office for life, and elect th eir own successors. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who was at one time the loading General in the rebel army, is now stopping at the New York Hotel. He is about engaging in the express business in the South, and visits New York to perfect certain business arrangements. At times, says the New York Times, the sai-disant General is surrounded by those who hold peculiar Views on current topics, although he evidently aims at. maintaining a strict reserve, acc epting the present course of events as the natural result of peace and reconciliation. Mr. J. P. Benjamin, says the Picayune, writes to his friends in New Orleans that he has been received and treated with great kitndness and generosity by many of the prominent statesmen in England ; that he is awaiting the legal term of reside] ne to qualify him for admission to the English bar, in order to resume the practice of his profes sion in London or Liverpool, and that he manages to sup port himself very, comfortably by giving counsel and legal N 9. 22,927.

Matamoros papers of the 10th inst. state that the imperial gunboat Antonio, while forcing her way up the river, under the fire of the Republicans, grounded seven miles below the city, when a furious fire was opened upon her from the American bank, wounding two marines. The French commander refrained from returning the fire re ceived from the bank. The Republicans on the American bank were dressed in the Federal uniform. The same papers say that it seems a settled purpose of these men to cause a war between the United States and Mexico. These outlaws are on the American side of the river in force, and their officers are enlisting recruits. According to Matamoras papers of the 15th, a night attack was to have been made upon the gunboat Antonio by two small boats from the American shore, which were discovered and fired upon by the Antonio and sunk; all on board, it was supposed, being drowned. Washington semi-official despatches announce that the Government has received no intelligence concerning the reports from the Rio Grande, involving Federal with French troops. The New York Herald's Washington correspondent states that considerable excitement existed in Mexico on account of the participation of Federal soldiers in the attack on Matamoras, and General Mejia's announcement that 50 Federals were captured. An idea prevailed that the United States was preparing to intervene in Mexico. General Bazaine, it is said, had in consequence ordered several important positions to be strengthened. The Emperor Maximilian is reported to have received an autograph letter from the Emperor Napoleon, urging the adoption of more energetic measures for the establish ment of the empire. News from Matamoras to the 19th inst. states that some of the Republican leaders on the Rio Grande had accepted the Emperor Maximilian's amnesty. A Federal paymaster had been murdered and robbed of a large sum by Cortina's guerillas, above Brownsville. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. The Hamburg American Company's steam-ship Bavaria, Captain Taube, has arrived. She brings 86 psssengers for this port and Hamburg. On freight she has $138,000 for England, $209,200 for France, and a full cargo for Hamburg. The Bavaria left New York on 25th. On the Bth inst. she spoke the Prussian barque Express, in lat. 49.50 N., long. 10 W.. steering westward. Her news is anticipated. OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL. QUEENSTOWN, SUNDAY. The royal mail steam-ship Cuba arrived here at 10 a.m. to-day, embarked the mails, passengers, and latest tele grams, and proceeded for Halifax and Boston at 4 p.m. All well. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE• PLYMOUTH, Sunday. The Diamond Company's steamer Uitenhage, from Table Bay, Nov 9, St. Helena, Nov. 17, and Madeira, Dec. 4, arrived off Falmouth this after noon. She brings a full cargo of Cape produce, a mail, and 38 passengers, among whom is Colonel Travers, R.A., military secretary to the Governor of the Cape. The news from the Cape is of no great importance, the war between the Free State and the Basutos having degenerated into a series of raids, the object of which is the theft of cattle. Moshesh, the Basuto chief, was left undisturbed in his mountain home, while bands of farmers from the Free State and the Transvaal Republic were dashing into his country and carrying off everything upon which they could lay hands. The natives were retaliating in a similar manner, and it was im possible to say how long this state of things might continue. Moshesh had expressed his readiness to afford every satisfaction for the Natal raid, but nothing further had been done. Appearances gene rally indicated weariness on both sides, and it was considered unlikely that the war would, for some time to come, reassume its former importance. Trade in the Cape was somewhat improved, and it was hoped that the crisis had passed. In the eastern districts the weather had been extremely favourable, and the lambing season, which was drawing to an end, had been unusually prolific ; although it was said that the oat crops had suffered from the rains, and that there was some rust among the wheat. There were, however, no indications of a harvest deficit on the whole. No fresh cases of illness had appeared among the men of the 9th Regiment, who, it will be remem bered, were placed in quarantine, owing to several cases of cholera having proved fatal on board the Renown, in which they arrived at the colony. The quarantine expired a day or two previous to the departure of the Uitenhage, and her Majesty's steamer Valorous had gone to the station for the purpose of conveying the regiment to Capetown. The Renown was in Algoa Bay, where she will embark the 95th Regiment for India. The barque Queen of Ava, bound from Cardiff to Table Bay with coals, was wrecked on Dassen Island on the morning of the sth November. No lives were lost. The Verulam, with Dr. Colenso on board, had not arrived at Natal, but was expected daily. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —Homceop athic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptat le to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subjeA, and at length suczeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery , in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perftet trituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps' cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma. Dr. ilassall in his work, "Food and its Adulterations," says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc tions : —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined 1-Ib., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold at is, 6d. per lb. by grocers, confectioners, and chemists.

On Friday morning Prince Christian of Schleswig Holstein and his suite visited the quarters of the 2d battalion Grenadier Guards atthe infantry barracks, Sheet-street, Windsor. The Prince, who arrived at the barracks on foot about 10 o'clock, was met by Col. Sir Chas. Russell, V.C., M.P., and Viscount Hinchingbrooke. Accompanied by these officers the Prince first inspected the sergeants' mess and the library. He was then conducted over the men's rooms, and examined one of the kits, with the neat arrangement of which he expressed himself greatly pleased. The other departments, including the kitchen, cooking apparatus, and canteen, were next inspected, and a visit was then made to the officers' and men's recreation rooms, armourers' shop, adult and infant schools. By the time the Prince finished his tour of the barrack building and officers' quar ters the relieving guards for the Castle, Frogmore Lodge, and the Hospital were on the parade. The Prince accordingly inspected the troops, who on their leaving the barracks for their various posts marched past in quick time. The examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, under the regulations dated Horse Guards,:September 1, 1865, commenced at Chelsea Hospital, this morning, be fore Major-Gen. F. W. Hamilton, C. 8., Vice-Pre sident, and the members of the Council of Military Education. The examination will occupy the entire week. The next examination of candidates for commissions in the corps of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, under the regulations dated Horse Guards, June 1, 1865, will commence at Chelsea Hospital on. Jan. 3. _ _ _ The general court-martial which assembled at Chatham garrison a few days sineeuarterminated its sitting pending the approval of the finding of the Court by her Majesty. The Court, of which Col. J. F. M. Browne, C. 13., Royal Engineers, was :the president, was engaged in the trial of Private t . 40th Regiment, ..on the charge of having VSts. fly' assaulted Surg.-Major H. M. Webb, M. 8., attached to the staff of the 2d Depot battalion at Chatham, while engaged in the performance of his medical duties. Deputy Judge Advocate Brevet Col. J. H. Laye, from the Judge-Advocate-General's depart ment, officiated at the trial. The crime of assaults on the part of soldiers on medical officers has very much increased of late, and during the last few months no less than five courts-martial have taken place at Chatham on soldiers charged with similar offences. There is another soldier awaiting his trial by general court-martial for an offence of the same kind, to which the attention of the authorities at the Horse Guards is just now being seriously directed with the view of discovering the causes of such in subordination. The Court, after fully investigating the particulars of the outrage on Surg.-Major Webb, found the prisoner guilty, but the sentence will not be promulgated for some days, as the findings of general courts-martial have in all cases to be sub mitted to the Queen for approval before they are made known. The Pallas, 6, ironclad corvette, 2,372 tons, 600 horse power, was on Saturday again removed into dry dock in Sheerness Dockyard for the purpose of being fitted with a Griffiths propeller instead of the two-bladed Mangin screw with which she was tried on Friday. The trial on Friday was considered highly satisfactory. The ship was taken in the charge of Capt. G. G. Randolph, of the Sheerness Steam Reserve, to the measured mile off Maplin Sands, and with a four-bladed Man gin screw—two of the blades having been unshipped —in place of the four-bladed one with which she had been previously tried, made an average speed per hour of nearly 13 knots, showing an increase on her former trial of nearly 1i knots. The maximum number of the revolutions of the engineswas 72, and the mean 68.75. The diameter of the blades of the screw was 19ft. 2in. ; the pitch, 22ft. 6in. : length, 2ft. liin. ; immersion of the upper edge, lft. 9iin. The engines are horizontal, high and low pressure, on Wolfe's principle, surface-condensing, with cen trifugal pumps and superheaters fitted to the boilers. Capt. Conolly (captain of the ship), Mr. Reed (Chief Constructor of the Navy), Staff-Commander J. W. Reed, Mr. W. Williamson (Inspector of Ma chinery Afloat of the Sheerness Steam Reserve), Mr. Ricketts (Chief Engineer of Woolwich Dock yard), and Mr. Mitchell (acting assist.-master ship wright at Sheerness), were present during the trial. Mr. E. Humphreys attended on behalf of the con tractors for the engines (Messrs. Humphrey and Tennant, marine engineers, Deptford). The engines were in charge of Mr. W. Campion, chief engineer of the ship. The machinery worked exceedingl y well, and there was a plentiful supply of steam. The Turkish frigate Afdul Aziez, Capt. Comyn, left Plymouth on Friday afternoon for Constan tinople. The iron screw steamship Agincourt, 26, was re moved from Prince's dock, in Devonport yard, on Saturday, and will probably make another trial trip of her engines this week. The lighter Hamoaze left Devonport on Saturday with stores for Kingstown and Greenock. The screw steam storeship Fox, 2, Staff-Com mander Moriarty, left Plymouth on Saturday for Pembroke. An accident occurred during the past week to a portion of the seawalls of Portsmouth Dockyard, which has for a time deprived the authorities of the use of one of the docks. At the north-west extremity of the yard is No. 9 dock, the outer wall of which is separated by only some 30 feet of made ground from the seawall of the yard at that part. This wall has been known to be insecure for some time, owing to its want of base and other faults in its construction, it having been built many years since under the care of the military engineers. The wall has now split vertically in several places from foun dation to coping -stone, giving free access to the tidal pressure at high water, and slipped outwards from its foundation in large masses. To meet this posi tion of affairs piles have been driven, superincum bent earth and stone removed, and other requisite measures taken under the direction of the superin tending civil engineer of the yard, elex at dellpsr extensive vs etwt Woods. oorthe khs Fortunately the accident has occurred a t a po i nt large whe bretahsns the deep pw d a o tlr s c o h f au th n e el will great and in the prepared plans of this work, by Mr. W.

No damage has yet been done to the dock by this mishap to the neighbouring seawall, and to lessen the risk of fur ther accidents as much as possible water is allowed to flow in and out of the dock freely with the tide, so as to keep the pressure equal on both its inner and outer walls. An accident occurred on board H.M.S. Edgar at Portsmouth on Saturday in sending some spars down from aloft, by which two seamen were very seriously injured. It appears that the main trysail gaff was being prepared for sending down when by some means it got adrift sooner than had been intended, and, falling from aloft, knocked down two seamen—Benjamin Court and Daniel Hodges. Their injuries were found to be very serious, an d they were conveyed as quickly as possible to the hospital. The Admiral's service pension on the reserved half-pay, vacant by the death of W. J. Mingaye, has been conferred upon Vice-Admiral H. Smith, C. 8., on the active list of flag officers. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty ;—Lieutenant S. C. Holland to the Malacca ; Sub- Lient.ll. B. Needham to the Malacca , Sub-Lieut. W. Neilson to the Victoria. LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Confidential Ad vice. —'I'o all persons who suffer from bilious headaches, disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency, these pills are most strongly rec ommended as the safest, best, and quickest mode of obtaining ease without weakening or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills are espe cially useful in clearing away any excess of bile, which usually produces fever unless remedial measures be adopted without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for removing all dan ger, and by purifying an d regulating the circulation they effectually prevent relapses. By rousing the liver to a fair secretion of bile, and quickly carrying it off from the sys tem, these pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feelings often called nervous.
