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- Deets of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, from Which it appears— The Atlantic and Great Western Railway system corn 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 are leased for 99 years, at a low rent ($273,072 a year). Tho ug h not yet fully completed, the traffic already equals that o f many of the best American lines. During the first six months of 1865 the receipts upon the 322 miles then open were $2,579,737, equal at the Present rate of exchange to $7 in the £, to £368,533. since July 490 miles have been opened, and the receipts have been $2,011,676, equal to £287,882, for three months, or at the rate of £1,149,528 per annum. The subjoined flouthly traffic return shows the steady increase of traffic. I Total. 1865. iles Passengers Fre i ht.. open. Mails, Ste. g 1864. I 1865. ---- Dollars. Dollars. I Dollars.

October ` This table includes the traffic of 33 miles of the Oh 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 Irorld, 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, C leveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at New York and the sea-board. 2. The local traffic is equally enormous, owing to its traversing the newly-discovered oil districts of Pennsyl- Yania, and the great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some ;deft - of the local traffic thus waiting for development may be form e d 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 ladle is willingly paid. A Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway under one executive has been kale, and a mortgage for 30 million dollars, or 6 millions sterlin of bonds has been created, and also a capital of 30 millio g dollars of shares of 50 dollars each, based on the Whole property of the Company. The new shares will kiPersede those previously issued, with the exception of 1,919000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of November, security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in "-lovember, 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 k,ortgage 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 !news. a , The Consolidated Capital will therefore con sist of 00,000,000, half in Shares and half in Mortgage Bonds, Which provides for the completion of the entire line. To meet the interest on these Bonds at 7 per cent. in rsrling, after paying all working expenses, it is calculated °Y 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 a re opened, so that the security for the Bonds is ample, a rid there is every prospect that, in addition, a high rate (1 , 1 dividend will be paid on the $30,000,0 00 of Share ‘japital. the Consolidated Bonds have 25 years to run, with c oupons for interest at 7 per cent. per annum, payable qtlarterly, free of income tax, at the Company's Offices, in - 1?ondon or New York, in gold. Interest is payable on 15th aunary, 15th April, 15th July, and 15th October of each Year. It is proposed to appropriate the total authorised issue O f 830,000,000, or £6,000,000 sterling Consolidated Mort tage Bonds, as follows : t 1 . A reserve of $16,142,000 will be placed with trustees ° meet, either by conversion or payment when due, the has divisional Mortgage Bonds, being the total amount that has been issued, or authorised to be issued, as °era jed by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., after eliS ta e i xamination of the Company's books and registrars, or to £3,228,400. This includes all Bonds issued to the Public, an d also the Bonds deposited with Trustees for 410 Certificates of Debentures issued in November, 1864, e security of which remains unaffected by the present arrangements. 2.- The balance, viz. : —02,771,600 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 „ „ on allotment ; 25 on 15th January, 1866, less coupon £1 15s. due on that date ; 20 on 15th February, 1866 ; 20 11 17 on 15th March, 1866 ; allowing for the January Coupon, the nett price of each 5 1 00 Bond will be £7B 55., or allowing for discount on pre vallnents under.£7B. t rSubscribers will have the option of paying in full, under I: 3c ount, at the rate of 7 per cent. per an ; but, in de viult of due payment of the respective instalments, all pre y c ils payments will be liable to forfeiture.

The special advantages to be derived from the employ. ment of capital through the medium of Joint Stock Com panies, with limited liability, in purchasing and working Colonial properties, have been demonstrated by the great success attendant en such operations in India, Ceylon, Borneo, and elsewhere, and it is considered that no pro perties can be made to benefit to a greater extent or to pro duce more remunerative results from the introduction of Joint Stock Capital than West India Sugar Estates. The object of this Company is the purchase and exten sion of the sugat plantations and the business of the 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. On several of these estates powerful machinery of the best description has been recently erected at a considerable cost, and the largely Increased profits which have resulted prove conclusively the advantages to be derived from the further application of machinery on a still more extended scale. The increased capital which will be thus employed, in addition to the large amount already invested iu real estate, renders the business more suitable to the resources of a public company than to those of private firms. 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, Maenna, 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 Vendors have agreed to guarantee, to the extent of the annual dividend on the above 10,000 shares, a net profit in eaeh year, for the first five years, of 10 per cent. on the paid-up capital for the time being ; such guarantee, how ever, is to cease if at or after the expiration of three years the net profits of the Company shall have amounted to a sum equivalent to an average of 10 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital for each of the said five years, calculat ing the capital for the last two years at not more than £25 per share. Each firm will liquidate their own liabilities and obliga tions, independently of the Company, except where the Board of Directors deem it to be desirable for the Company to undertake any of such liabilities or obligations. The Company will enter into possession of the business on Ist January next. The transfer of the properties and securities is to take effect as and from the Ist July last, in Trinidad and Bar badoes ; and from Ist January next, in Demerara and Ber bice, which are the usual periods for the transfer of property in the respective colonies. It is arranged that two members of each firm shall re main as Directors for a period of at least five years, and the large interest in the capital of the . Company taken by the Vendors gives the fullest proof of their entire confidence in its success, and the surest guarantee of their best exer tions being used to develope its resources. All the mem bers of each firm bind themselves not to enter into any business of a similar character without the sanction of the Board. 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. The estimate has been derived from the existing state of the properties and business of the two firms, without taking into consideration the increased returns from the estates which will follow upon an improved system of cultivation and manufacture, or the effect which the im pending abolition of slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico will have in augmenting the value of the estates and increas ing the profits 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. A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association can bo inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors, 32, Throg morton-street. 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. In the event of an allotment being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will, so far as required, be appropriated towards the payment due upon allotment. 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.

The report of the directors states that their anti cipations at the half-yearly meeting in June had been borne out by the result of the year's working. The revenue account for the year showed a fair balance of profit, and as heavy deductions had been made for the earnings in Calcutta to cover the loss incurred in Bombay and Madras, and as a large sum had been written off against this year's account for bad debts of previous years, in addition to a pro portion of the los' by fire at Madras, the directors considered that there were good grounds for more favourable anticipations for the future. The Bombay business for the year had been worked at a consi derable loss ; but the improvement which had been effected during that period in the management and conduct of the business had given renewed confi dence to the public. The receipts for the months of July, August, and September last had been more than four times as much as those of the correspond.. ing quarter of last year., In the Madras Presidency the course of business during the six months ending the 30th of June last showed a decided improve ment, so that the net result of the operations for the w hole year had proved more favourable than it was for the first six months. The Quartermaster- General, in recommending to the Government the renewal of certain contracts which were about to expire, had reported " that the transit arrangements had been satisfactorily carried out by the com pany." In the Calcutta Presidency the receipts had kept up well during the twelve months, and had even exceeded the amount which might have been expected from the results of the first half of the year. The total gross receipts for the year in this Presidency were £148,704, and on this the percent age of profit was larger than in the previous year. During the year 28 new agencies had been opened in Bengal, the North-West Provinces, and the Pun jab, which had naturally swelled the expenses for the year, and diminished for the time the divisible profit. The sum to the credit of revenue account, including the balance from last year was £3,696 (out of which a dividend for the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1864, had been paid), and the reserve fund set aside out of revenue amounted to £1,500. The direc tors now proposed to pay a dividend, as before, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for the half-year ending the 30th June last, and to carry over the balance to the next account. The capital account showed that £50,000 had been re. ceived, and £32,862 expended, leaving a balance o £17,138. ""SPAPER , ? passengers to £3,254, for mails, &T., to £829, for loci to £15;422, and for foreign £2,075 total-28,857 ; and for the corresp din week last year to £24,623, showing an increase of £4,234. The total receipts from the Ist July to the above date amounted to £563,992 against £480,379, showing an increase of £83,613, or 17 per cent. Memorial of the read Society on Jamaica. The following memorial has been sent to Earl Rus sell from the committee of the Peace Society : "To the Right lion. Earl Russell, First Lord of the Treasury, and other members of her Majesty's G overn m en t. " My Lord,—We ask permission, as committee of the Peace Society, to express to your lordship, and to the Government of which your lordship is the head, the feeling of deep sorrow and shame with which we have read the recent tidings that have reached this country from Jamaica. We deplore and deprecate, in the strongest manner, the acts of vio lence and outrage committed by the coloured people at Morant Bay and elsewhere, even though, 11J doubt, the outbreak was immediately provoked by the volunteer force firing into the crowd who were assembled in the Court-house-square, to vindicate certain of their rights, which they believed to be im perilled. But it appears to us, my lord, that the authorities of Jamaica, in the means they have taken. to suppress and punish the riot so occasioned, have gone beyond all bounds of justice or necessity. The lieutenant-governor acknowledges that there was no ' organisation' among the people ; that the troops who have passed through all the disturbed district have nowhere met with any resistance ;' that ' not a single casualty has befallen any of our soldiers or sailors, who are all in good health.' And yet, in the face of these admissions, he and those acting with him seem to have given unlimited per mission and encouragement to soldiers and sailors, and volunteers and Maroons, to seize and flog, and shoot, and hang, at their own discretion, any coloured persons who might fall into their hands— men, women, and children. This is done sometimes after the mockery of a trial by court-martial, one of which consisted of two sub-lieutenants and an ensign ; but often without the semblance of a trial of any kind, the people being shot, as one of the officers engaged in this work describes it, 'merely for running away' from those who were hunting them down like wild beasts. It is admitted by those concerned in this terrible slaughter that numbers of persons have been tortured and killed, of whose participation in the riot there was no pretence of proof. In justification of these acts, it is alleged that a widespread conspiracy existed among the negro population to murder all the white and co loured people, and to establish a black republic in the island. But up to this time no evidence what ever has been brought before the public in support of this allegation ; and it is rendered utterly impro bable by the conduct of the blacks themselves, those actually engaged in the riot having spared several white lives even in the first outburst of passion, whilst others afterwards protected and succoured with the noblestdevotion many of their white neigh bours, who were supposed to be in danger from the fury of their more exasperated brethren. And surely, my lord, it is something new in the adminis tration of British justice to deliver whole districts of country over to military execution, not for anything the inhabitants had done, but for something which it was suspected some of them intended to do three months afterwards. But above all, my lord, it ap pears to us that the way in which Mr. G. W. Gor don, a member of the Legislature, and heretofore well known as a gentleman of property, intelligence, and large benevolence, was apprehended and exe cuted, admits of no justification whatever, except on principles which would bring into jeopardy the liberty and life of all her Majesty's subjects in every part of the world, and utterly undermine some of the most solemn guarantees of the con stitution. We earnestly hope that peremptory orders have been despatched from the Colo nial-office long before this to put a stop to the wholesale and indiscriminate slaughter in Jamaica, which is filling the whole civilised world with indig nation and horror. And finally, my lord, we beg respectfully and most urgently to press upon your lordship and the Government the duty of ginAitut ing an immediate and searching inquiry into the whole of this deplorable business ; and if it. shall appear that there has been a reckless effusion of innocent blood, that those who have been guilty of this crime shall be brought to justice.

Charles Laffitte and Co., of Rue Besse du Rompart, 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.
