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 on 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 onto 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 sugar plantations and the business of the well known firms of Messrs. Cavan, Lubbock, and Co., and Messrs. William Burnley Ilume 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 coat, and thy litt,--c1y;f101 , 3.1.04 , 4 profito which have rogults,l prove conclusively the advantages to be derived from the further application of tetchitiery on a still more extended scale. The increased capital which will be thus employed, in addition to the large amount already invested in 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, M'Kenna, and Co., and by Directors entirely unconnected with the two firms, before they agreed to join the proposed Company. The Vendors are only to be paid the mere value, thus ascertained, of the Estates, Plant, Machinery, Stores, Stock, and Advances, which will amount to about £675,000; and by instalments, as follows : .E 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 share; a net profit in each 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 tion; 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 inte possession of the business on Ist January next. The transfer of the properties and Fecurities 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 develops 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 not 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.

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, 3r at the Branches of the National Provincial Bank of England ; and the Branches of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The final day was decidedly the most attractive, for, in addition to the Berkshire Steeplechase, the card was well filled, and, as will be seen, the fields were excellent, the sport far more interesting, and the finishes much closer than is usually the case at steeplechase meetings. Although the weather was not fine, there was very little inconve nience experienced from it, as the rain held off until the sport was concluded, while the attendance of company was a decided improvement on the opening day. Five races were appointed for decision, the chief interest centring itself in the principal handicap of the meeting, the Berk shire Steeplechase, for which eight animals of the ten ac cepted went to the post. Flyfisher, Ironsides, and Gold finder receiyed the greatest amount of support ; but some good judges stood the light weight, Bristles, remembering how the top weights were compelled to succumb at Croy don, and Bristles, putting on the pace at the right moment, won in a canter by twelve lengths ; although the issue would doubtless have been nearer had not Goldfinder struck into him at the brook. The following return con tains every particular of the running : The Innkeepers' Plate (Handicap) of 40 sous; winners extra. About two miles and a half. Count de la Bigue's R.M.D., 5 yrs, 12st 51b (G. Quinton) 1 Mr. Riley's White Stockings, aged, lOst 101b...(Pickett) 2 The following also ran :—Disappointed, Lord of the Manor, and Freestone. _ _ . Betting-6 to son R.M.D., 4to 1 agst Disappointed, 6bo • 1 agst White Stockings. Disappointed cut out the work, followed by White Stockings and R.M.D. ; Lord of the Manor and Free stone, refusing at the first fence, took uo further part in the race. Disappointed carried on the running into the hurdles, where he refused, but Mr. Grant soon regained his position, and led past the Stand, R.M.D. having a slight lead of White Stockings, and in this order they ran up the hill, • Disappointed holding a strong lead as they again approached the hurdles, but he repeated his .man oeuvre and bolted out of the course. The issue from this point was left to R.M.D. and White Stockings, a most ex citing race commencing as they landed into the winning field. The non-favourite, 100 yards from home, got her neck in front, but R.M.P. finishing with a tremendous rush got up in the last few strides, and won by a head; Disappointed a long way in the rear. _ _ _ A Handicap. Military Steeplechase of 5 sous each, with 25 added ; winners extra. About two miles and a half. Six subs. Capt. Shaw's Merrimac„ . aged, 12st (Owner) 1 Capt.

Merrimac jumped off with the lead, followed by Sir Bobby, Rapture, and Oscar, but the latter took up the run ning after going a quarter of a mile, and gave way on near ing the breiik. Merrimac was left in corrunand, but ou passing the Stand Rapture took a slight lead, the others, with the exception of Almeric, lying well up. Rapture re fused at the fence into the ploughed land, Merrimac, fol lowed by Oscar and Sir Bobby, going on in front, but the pair joined him in the meadows, the trio going on together till reaching the farm fence, where Merrimac shook them off, and taking the brook clear of Oscar, won easily by four lengths. Rapture fell at the farm fence, and Sir Bobby came to grief at the brook. The Berkshire Open Steeplechase.of 10 sous each, with 100 added; winners extra. About three miles and a half. Ten subs. . Mr. Yates' Bristles, 4 yrs, lOst (Owner) 1 Mr. Powell's Flyfisher, 6 yrs, 12st 71b (G.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Flyfisher, 4to 1 each agst Ironsides and Goldfinder, 100 to 12 agst Bristles, 10 to 1 agst The Rogue, 100 to 8 agst Sportsman, 100 to 7 aget Rochester. The Rogue was first off, followed by Arlescott and Rochester, but after going a couple of hundred yards the two last headed him and took the brook side by side, closely followed by Sportsman, who took a slight lead as they passed the Stand the first time, his immediate fol lowers being Rochester and Arlescott, next to whom came The Rogue, Ironsides, Geldfinder, and Bristles, in the order named, Flyfisher several lengths in the rear, They ran with with little variation for half a mile, when Roches ter improving the pace, ran past Sportsman, and took the next three jumps in this order, when . Bristles passed The Rogue, who pulled up, having broken the saddle. On coming down the hill Ironsides joined the leaders, but came to grief at the brook. Sportsman held the lead past the Stand the second time, closely attended by Rochester, Arlescott, Goldfinder, and Bristles ; Flyfisher 20 lengths off next, and Ironsides, who had been remounted, passed the Stand some distance in the rear, but was immediately stopped when pursuit was found to be hopeless. On rising the hill Bristles rushed to the front, followed by Goldfinder and Rochester, clear of whom came Flyfisher, who was followed at a long interval by Sportsman and Arlescott, the last-named falling at the fence opposite the Stand. Half a mile from home Rochester passed Goldfinder, and went on in pursuit of Bristles, but Goldfinder being set going at a great pace down the hill, rushed passed Rochester and struck into the heels of Bristles on taking the brook and fell heavily. Bristles being left to himself cantered home an easy winner by twelve lengths from Flyfisher, who passed Rochester in taking the last fence, and defeated him by two lengths for second place. Sportsman came in fourth, a long way in the rear, and Goldfinder, remounted, walked past the post next. A Handicap Selling Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 20 added; the winner to be sold for 40 sovs. About two miles and a half. 13 subs. Mr. B. Land's Stiletto, 4 yrs, lOst 101b...(Mr. Mumford) 1 Mr. Melvin's No Name, aged, list 71b (Mr. Merton 2 Mr. Dally's Medusa, aged, 11st 71 b ..................(Barry 3 The following also ran :—ldiot, Light of Other Days, Laurel, Jenny Wren, Lucky Star, and Snagg.

No Name and Idiot alternately led for a quarter of a mile, when the latter carried On the running for a mile, followed by No Name, Medusa, and Snagg, the four taking close order about half a mile from home ; and these were joined at the third fence from the winning field by Stiletto, but Snagg falling, Stiletto went to the front, and won, after a good race with No Name from the brook, by a length and a half ; Medusa a bad third. Nothing else passed the post. The winner was bought in for 60 guineas. Jenny Wren injured herself so severely at the fence on the far side that she was destroyed. The Local Hunters' Race of 3 sous each, with 25 added; selling allowances. About two miles and a half Five - - - subs. Mr. A. Yates' Beverley, aged (.C5O), 12st 71b ...(Owner) 1 Mr. G. R.

After going a short distance Valotta took up the running but soon gave way to Uxbridge, who had a clear lead of Crucifix and Beverley past the Stand, but tiring very much up the hill Crucifix passed him and led through the plough, but Beverley joined her on the far side, and the race was reduced to a match half a mile from home, the favourite coming down the hill to the brook clear of his opponent, but blundering at the last fence he fell, but without un seating his jockey, who steadied him with wonderful cool- I ness, and then perseitered - so resolutely that he caught MADRAS. The traffic receipfi3 on this company's lines, 611 miles in length, airr:mnted for the week ending Oct. 7th last to £10,15'8, against £6,858 on 571 miles in the correspondingl - week of last year, showing an in crease of £3,302, or 48 per cent., the increase in the mileage being cr.ily 7 per cent.

Mr. Rog i ers read the report, which stated that the net receip',:s for the half-year ending 30th of June amounted to £33,055, being an increase of £2,338 over the corresponding half of 1864. The expenses for the past half-year were less by £2,940 than for the sanie half-year of 1864. The profits of the half year, including £5,000 from the preceding half-year, amounted to £28,900, out of which the directors re comi.nended a dividend of £2 per share, free of in come-tax, payable on 11,334 shares in the original stock, amounting to £22,668, leaving a balance of £G,241.

A vote of thanks to 4 the chairman concluded the proceedings. CRYSTAL PALACE. The report of the directors states that the result of the year's working was a balance in favour of re venue of £57,047. After payment of the dividend on the preference and debenture stocks there would remain £26,346 available for division among the holders of ordinary stock. Out of this sum the di rectors recommend the payment of a dividend of 21 per cent., leaving a balance of £1,279. The expen diture on capital account had not been increased during the year. The number of visitors during the 12 months had been 1,758,516 against 1,661,083 for the previous year, showing an increase of 97,433. -The Saturday concerts under the direction of Mr. Manns were becoming increasingly attractive. An aovantageous change had been_ nia4l thp enrn of the centre transept, at its junctioi& - „;t:. the nave, by which the convenience of persons occupying the corner galleries when performances were taking place in the great orchestra had been very much promoted, while at the same time the strength of that portion of the fabric had been much increased. Some useful alterations had also been made in the Handel Orchestra, which had the effect of making it more effective for the summer concerts. On the cricket ground a convenient pavilion had been erected. An improvement effected during the past year had been the continuation of the internal illu mination of the palace by gas. An increase had taken place in the returns of the exhibitors' department. The receipts of the refreshment department show an increase. The net receipts from the Handel Fes tival had amounted to £5,400. The residence of the late Sir J. Paxton, at Rockhills, had just reverted to the company.

No doubt the sale of gun boats, steam and sail transports, and other public property purchased for use in the war and no longer required, has materially contributed to this result ; but we have mean time paid out two dollars in discharge of anterior obliga tions to soldiers, sailors, contractors; S:c., for every dollar received, from closing -out sales. It is certain, therefore, that we have passed the turning-point, and may hence forth steadily reduce our vast debt if we keep out of foreign complications and wars.— New York Tribune. Loim ELCIIO AND TIIE LANDOWNERS.—At the annual dinner of the East Lothian Agricultural So ciety, on Monday, Lord Elcho said these were days when proprietors required to lOok about them, as they did not know what might happen. lie had often thought of this sort of thing :—Suppose such a thing were to happen that proprietors would have no security for their land at all by legislative enactment. (Laughter and applause.) What, then, would they have to do ? Proprietors would then re quire to become farmers on a much more extended scale than any of them were now. It was said, "You could not. manage or overlook such a large property." Now, he know a farmer in Northumberland who rented 11 farms, and managed them himself. What had struck him as the only way in which proprietors could manage large estates would" be by giving thOse who cultivate them a direct interest in their work by it system of copartnery with the bailiffs and workpeople in the soil. That was done to a large extent in factories and mines, and he thought the principle was worthy of the consideration of .the members of the Asso ciation. With regard to game, he was inclined to think that the wise and beneficial policy as regarded the proprie tary would be to let the farmer have the run of the hares and rabbits on condition- of keeping. off trespassers and protecting the feathered gape,: Arid , ' wspA pErt , ~ 4 ,41,,.- -' ' 462: - 1. -.0 -.\ -i-r . d.-::‘,-_ ~ , ~- - -. !. 1 ' 7 1 ,it. ..) .;Z 1 . dual and Military Intelliglant.., - -,;fr, ~,---. _ ~,,, -.• • ---- 1 , ,„..4. 7 --,..... t . - „,./ 4 =-zy The Duke of Camb r id ge , as Fi e l % d like iq - -, manding-in-Chief, held a l ev e e yesterdanytermon „,, s ,I at the Horse Guards.

The screw corvette Reindeer, 250 horse power, ' orginally laid down at Chatham dockyard as a screw corvette, after remaining some years on the stocks unfinished, is now being completed from the plans of the Chief Constructor of the Navy, Mr. Reed, and brought forward for launching. To enable her to mount the few heaVy broadside guns she is to carry on her weather fighting deck she has been fitted with iron deck beams laid on iron knees. Her timbers will be strengthened by the introduction of angle iron carried up to her bulwarks. On being taken in -band it was found necessary to give her a new keel. She was originally intended to be, fitted with a poop, but an order from the Admiralty di rects her to be completed with a topgallant fore castle instead. The Reindeer is to be ready for launching early in the ensuing year. The Icarus, 11, 150 horse power, fitting in the steam basin at Sheerness for the first division of tho Chatham Steam Reserve, will be out of the hands of the dockyard officials on the 18th inst., when she will take her place in the Steam Reserve in readines4 fer the pennant. The Star, 4, 200 horse power, attached to the first-class Steam Reserve in the Medway, has had her bottom cleaned, previously to going on an offi cial trial of her speed at the Maplin Sands. The Zebra, 17, 200 horse power, recently paid off into the Chatham Steam Reserve, is in the steam basin, in readiness to be taken in hand for the pur pose of undergoing a thorough overhaul and repair. The experimental boiler made in the factory at Woolwieh dockyard, and which has been at work at intervals during the past 15 months, in testina petro leum, shale, and other oils, for steam purposes, to supersede the use of coals, was yesterday given over to the Admiralty authorities by Mr. Richard son on the completion of his experiments, which it is stated have thoroughly matured the principle, and rendered his theory a matter beyond doubt. Mr. Richardson has likewise, at their lordships' re quest, submitted plans for the conversion of the or dinary ships' boilersinto boilers for which petroleum can be used. This, it appears, can be done at small cost. Tier Majesty's 20-gun screw corvette Tartar, 1,296 tons, 250-horse power, recently raid off at Sheerness by Capt. John M. Hayes, from China, was yesterday brought up to Woolwich by the steamers Locust, Master Commander Harvey, and the Monkey, Master Commander Smithers. She was hauled into the fitting basin to make good defects and be prepared for recommission. The following appointments weremade yesterday at the Admiralty :—IVm. B. Goldsmith, master, to the Asia, for service in the Simoon ; George Alex . Broad and Robert William Stephens, second mas ters, additional, to the Victory ; Christopher B . IVatson, assist.-paymaster, to the Malacca ; Nar cott D. E. Roberts, assist.-paymaster, to the Has tings ; James Melrose, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Gleaner ; Michael J. Shannon, first-class assist-engineer, to the Triton ; Wm. J. Hancock, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Fisgard, for ser vice in the Prince Albert ; Richard J. Butler, se cond-class assist.-engineer, to the Oberon ; and H. M. G. Pellew, acting second-class assist.-engineer, to the Cumberland, for service in the Wildfire. Miss Longworth and the ‘, Saturday Review." On Tuesday the pleadings were continued, at Edinburgh, in the case of the pursuer in the Yel verton case against the proprietors of the Saturday Review. The Lord Advocate resumed his address for the pursuer, which altogether occupied about six hours, the time being . chiefly bestowed on an examination of the evidence in the marriage case, with the view of showing the calumnious nature of the article complained of. He maintained that the evidence and correspondences proved that the statements in the article were false and slanderous, and that the judges, even in deciding against the pursuer, had left her character unimpeached. The Solicitor-General followed for the defenders, and pointed out that the writer had been at least impar tial, having administered to both parties that just, rebuke which the interests of society required. Ile defended the article as not only " bat as Imlng - sfiTjsitMtiidiy ii4ey. - 42 the opinion - forthed by Lord Ardmillan and by the majority of the house of Lords, and also as expressing the sentiments entertained by the great majority of right-thinking men in regard to this extraordinary case. He maintained that the writer had dealt with the case honestly, that he had not attacked private character or uttered slander, but had pro perly exercised his right as a public journalist to comment on proceedings taking place in open court, and which affected the proprietors and the morality of social life. Incidentally, in his re marks on the correspondence, the Solicitor-General said the only letter in which a word equivalent to wife occurred was oue of Major Yelverton's, which the pursuer had tampered with by changing the word possibilamente to sposa Lelia mia. Mr. Smith denied the statement, and claimed the production of the letter, which the judge ordered to be made. On Wednesday morning the Lord-Advocate re ferred to the alleged tampering with one of Major Yelverton's letters, and said that the pursuer knew nothing on earth about it, and that the accusation against her was quite false. The Solicitor-General said he had done no more than refer to the statements made by the judges in the case. Lord Jerviswoode charged the jury, pointing out that newspaper writers had no privilege beyond fair reporting, and that if unfair or calumnious comments were made the injured party might seek redress. Ho left to the jury to pronouco whether the comments in this article were fair, looking to the whole cir cumstances of the case. At half-past 11 the jury retired, and were absent three hours. They then stated, through their fore man, that they were equally divided, six to six, and that there was no chance of their coming to any other result. Lord Jervitwoode said the statute did not allow him to receive a verdict with a less majority than nine, and that only at the end of three hours. If nine did not by that time concur, the statute pro vided that they should go back for three hours more; and if at the end of six hours nine should not be agreed, they might be discharged. The Foreman of the Jury, amid loud laughter, asked for refreshments, which, with consent of parties, were allowed. At a quarter-past 5 the jury returned a verdict, by nine to three, in favour of the defenders. A TRAVELLING GIANT. —It was under those cir cumstances that I come acquainted with a giant. I might have been too high to fall into coversatiou with him, had it not been for my lonely feelings. For the general rule is, going round the country, to draw the line at dressing. up. When a man can't trust his getting a living to his un disguised abilities, you consider him below your sort. And this giant when on view figured as a Roman. He was a languid young man, which I attribute to the distance be tween his extremities. lie had a little head and less in it, had weak eyes and weak knees, and altogetheryou couldn't look at him without feeling that there was greatly too much of him both for his joints and his mind., But he was an amiable though timid young man (his mother let him out, oof confidence, Thistthat and spent the money), and we come acquainted when ho was walking to ease the horse betwixt two fairs. Ho wa s called m ß e in n a t l o d l o l :l d i V to el n a l 7 , o, li i i i d s ( l 3r ia t t li n e e being seal beyond his being a burden to himself, his life was n ' idu ' a burden to him by the cruelty of his master towards l' a step-daughter who was deaf and dumb. Her mother was dead, and she had no living soul to take her part, and was used most hard. Sho travelled with his master's caravan only because there was nowhere to leave her, and this giant, otherwi se Pi c kl eson, did go so far as to b e li ev e that his master often t r i e d to l ose her. H e was such a very languid young m an , .that I don't know how lo n g it didn't take him to get thi s s t ory ou t , b u t it passed through his defective circulation to his top extremity in course of time. When I hoard this account from the giant, otherwise Pickleson, and likewise that the poor girl had beautiful long dark hair, and was often pulled down by it and beaten, I couldn't see the giant through what stood in my eyes. Having wiped 'em I gave him 6d. (for he was kept as short as he was long), and he laid it.out in two threepennorths of gin and water, which sobrisked him up that he sang the Favourite Comic of Shivery Sb ate y , ain't it cold.
