ToW, 607 of which 526 miles belong to the Company; and 81 miles are leased for 99 years, at a low rent N 273,072 a year). Though not yet fully completed, the traffic already equals that of many of the best American lines. During the first six months of 1R65 the receipts upon the 322 miles then open were $2,579,737, equal at the Present rate of exchange to $7 in the X, to £368,533. Since July 490 miles have been opened, and the receipts have been $2,011,676, equal to £287,382, for three months, or at the rate of £1,149,528 per annum.

The actual result, therefore, is a gross receipt at the te 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. Tills 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 World, 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 hest line of Communication by which the enormous goods and pas „„monger traffic centring in the Western cities of Cincinnati, ..,,ieveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at New 'Lark and the sea-board. 2. The local traffic is equally enormous, owing to its traversing the newly-discovered oil districts of Pennsyl vania, and tho great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some ‘L` Le a of the local traffic thus waiting for development may be formed from the single fact that this oil district now Yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the e 'oveyance of which as much as 3d. to 4d. per ton per kilo is willingly paid. A. Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway under one executive has been b lade, and a mortgage for 30 million dollars, or 6 millions sterling of bonds has been created, and also a capital of 30 million dollars of shares of 50 dollars each, based on the Whole property of the Company. The new shares will s upersede those previously issued, with the exception of ?;319,000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of the security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in overaber, 1864, which will, therefore, remain Preferential u ntil those Certificates are paid off, when the whole be come ordinary share capital. Provision is made in the t lo rtgage deed (under which the Consolidated Mortgage ~,..°onds are issued) for securing the rights of the existing 44 ortga ge Bonds, and also for their exchange at maturity, or earlier, by consent of the holder, if authorised by the ' 3 oard 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 inents. tE ,The Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of ~.1 07 0 , 000,000, half in Shares ajid half in Mortgage Bonds, : i clip , rovides for the completion of the entire line. slimeet the interest on these Bonds at 7 per cent. in after paying all working expenses, it is calculated by lklr. Forbes that a gross annual receipt of $6,442,000 : rout( be sufficient, which is considerably less than the ',L i onel receipt, and $3,573,000 less than Mr. Forbes's esti ,7.ie of the annual receipt when the additional 100 miles 4 1. " opened, so that the security for the Bonds is ample, 3d there is every prospect that, in addition, a high rate dividend will be paid on the $36,000,000 of Share t ,„'he Consolidated Bonds have 25 years to run, with „„_"lions for interest at 7 per cent. per annum, payable • quarterly, free of income tax, at the Company's Offices, in 4•„ °ll rion or New York, in gold. Interest is payable on 15th b -n uary 15th April, 15th July, and 15th October of each ~ett r.

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 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 sugar 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 amplo imp/Ay 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 tho advantages to bo 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 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 : X 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 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 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, andthe 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 XI per Share to the Bankers of the Company. A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association can be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors, 82, 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.

Rifle Shooting and Athletic Sports• The ceremony of presenting prizes to those mem bers of the Birmingham Rifle Volunteers who had achieved distinction at the targets or in the gymna sium took place on Wednesday evening at the Bir mingham Town-hall. At one end of the table was a case containing Col. M'Murdo's swords, which were injured by the fire at his residence, and which having been restored by Mr. Reeves, of Toledo Works, at the expense of the battalion, were pre sented to him in the course of the evening. The chair was taken by Lord Leigh (lord -lieutenant of the county), and there were also present—Colonel M'Mnrdo, Sir E. Campbell (Inspector of Volun teers), the Right lion. C. B. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P., and Mr. B romle y , M.P. (in their uniform as members of the Yeomanry Cavalry), Mr. Yates (the mayor), the Rev. J. C. Miller, D.D., Col. Mason, Major Ratcliff, Mr. Caldecott, and others. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, con gratulated the meeting on the progress of the volun teer movement in Birmingham. The noble lord then called upon Col. M , Mußno, who was received with loud cheers. After recounting the history and progress of the vo lunteer movement, the gallant colonel proposed to speak a word to the officers. He would say to them, " Don't get tired of your work." If in the army, andhe should take them out for field days and bri gade days, and get them to do for six months the work the officers of the army had to perforin, then they might be affected by ennui, might get tired of services in the field, and say they - wished to goodness they were done with it. Then, it might be, they would have occasion to complain ; but when they were what they were, officers who came out occasionally in the year to drill, officers who had only to look after the men, but not to discipline them, because they needed not to be disciplined as, those in the line, then it was they had not so much reason for growing tired. Their men came to them with one accord, because they were impressed with the feelings of Englishmen that their own right hands were required for the defence of the ; country. They did not require looking after as the I men in the army required to be looked after. They might rather look after the officers—(laughter)—but it was their countenance, the countenance of men in their several positions that was required to keep alive the movement. There were rank and file in thousands, and all they wanted after that was effi cient officers. Very little only was required'from volunteer officers ; but this he would say, that gentlemen were sometimes hard put to at home, in order that they might, after the engagements of the day were over, attend to their duties as volunteers. Now he begged to call upon his countrywomen to remember that their husbands were doing their duty for them as well as for their country, that the hus bands were going to drill the men, and that the men were there in armies to defend the country and de fend their hearths and homes. (Cheers.) He would call upon his fair countrywomen to remember that, although they were not dressed in gay ap pointments, they were ready to go forth and fight the battles of their country, and come back with glory and honour. They were preparing for a dreadful rainy day, but without immediate objectof honour and glory ; but he would say that the vo lunteers were brave men, who, when they were brought before the enemy, behaved as gloriously as their regular soldiers did. (Cheers.) He was not speaking theoretically, he wastalking of actual facts. A glorious eaptaiu...and his glorious min-were-hardly cold in their graves, who died the other day biting their last cartridges in defence of the civil authori ties in Jamaica—(hear, hear)—and at the present time the volunteers in New Zealand were continuing the war against the natives, with the hope of termi nating an inglorious struggle with the aborigines of the country ; and our volunteers in Canada were enrolling, and preparing to meet the Fenians—ay, even America herself, if she should dare to attack them. (Applause.) These, then, were the men whom he called upon the ladies to aid, assist, and support, by their countenance at home, and send them out to drill without grudging their absence. (Hear.) The force generally had increased to a very great extent, and all it wanted was countenance at the hands of their fellow-countrymen and women. (Applause.) He was quite aware that Birmingham was represented by one of the ablest members of the House of Commons—(cheers)—whose opinions with regard to war were well known, and who was a member of a society whose opinions with regard to war, and all that appertained to it, were also well known ; and he was sure that every reflective Eng lishman must pay the greatest respect to those opinions, and have the greatest respect for the motives which actuated them in coming forward to form what was called the Peace Society ; but he said that the whole volunteer force was a Peace Society—(loud applause)—and identical with the one just alluded to, with this exception, that, whereas the Peace Society had not been successful in its results, the volunteer force had been successful in maintain ing the peace of this country. (Applause.) Did the Peace Congress alter the intentions of Russia in passing the Pruth by one hour, or did the Peace Congress prevent the aggressive policy towards the East at the present moment ? It was said with re gard to this, " Oh, but you are going beyond the ken of the Peace Society ; it cannot enter into Cen tral Asia and see the design of Russia upon China." But let them come nearer home, and see what had taken place within the last year or 18 months. Had the Peace Society prevented in one single instance one of the most outrageous robberies that was ever committed on a small - State by two big bullies ? (Cheers.) There never was a greater robbery than that which was committed by Prussia and Austria in the spoliation of Denmark. (Cheers.) It had been said that the effect of the volunteer movement would be to excite the military spirit of the country, and nothing could take place of a warlike character but we must have a finger in it, because of the de sire on the part of the people to use the arms with which they were supplied. What was the fact? Had not the volunteers, whilst the spolation of Denmark was going on, stood with hands clenched and brows knitted, but without going to war, because the force was not intended to go beyond the confines of the country, but to defend our hearths ? (Hear.) But there was another cause that bore directly, or rather indirectly, upon the interests of the corps, and which had brought him there that evening, and that was what might be called the social, as distinct from the military, part of the movement—the distribution of prizes for skill in prize shooting. (Hear.) The num ber and value of the prizes was a guarantee to the volunteers that they were well supported, and liked by their friends and society outside. (Hear.) As the agent of these friends, he had the greatest possible pleasure in distributing the prizes. The gallant colo nel then proceeded to deliver the prizes, which were very numerous, and consisted principally of sums of money, interspersed with such tangible and appre ciable gifts as rifles, revolvers, silver cups, dozens of champagne, an eight-day clock, and a dozen of Irish whisky. The Right Hon. C. B. ADDERLEY, M.P., proposed a vote of thanks to the donors of prizes. In the course of his remarks he said there was just this danger about the volunteer force, that its very efficiency and success might be fatal to its spirit, for it was a defensive body, and it held out the threat which in itself crushed the danger against which it was formed ; and a defensive force, warding off danger, might in process of time begin to flag in its spirit, and to feel its task after all merely a negative one. When they saw a man like Lieut. Burt come up in the presence of the assembly, and carry off a forty-guinea cup, and, for the second time, possess himself of the challenge prize ; when they saw other tan receive the mass of magnificent prizes—men who by their looks, their smartness, and their vigour, show undeniably that they were worthy of the prizes —they show that the donors of the prizes had known how to throw into this great corps that social element which, however long they had to wait for an enemy, would maintain the spirit and the patriotic feeling of the corps. (Hear, hear.) The feeling which had been elicited by these prizes would be felt throughout the country, and for this they had mainly to thank the donors ; but he thought that the donors should be more largely supported on public grounds, and for why ? For the reason as signed by Colonel M'Murdo ; that it was right that a great nation like England should partake in its very pastimes and amusements of the public in terests of the nation ; and that in the same way that in old times the bow, which won for England the victories of Cressy and Agincourt, was the weapon of the nation, the rifle should be the weapon of the nation in these days ; and not least among the great national holidays should be the assem bling of volunteers on such occasions as the pre sent. (Cheers.) Mr. C. N. NEWDEGA.TE, M.P., seconded the mo tion. It was, he said, with great pleasure that he seconded the resolution, for, after all, the spirit which had prompted the donors was the spirit which had actuated the volunteer movement. They were not all volunteers, but they had all the will to thank and help the volunteers. (Applause.) It would be strange indeed if the volunteers of Birmingham who made arms could not use them. (Hear, hear.) His feeling was with Sergeant Fletcher, who knew how to " brown" a barrel, and- to squint straight down it afterwards, and who would also "brown" most effectively most of his competitors. (Laughter and applause.) He rejoiced in seeing the spirit which supported this volunteer movement so steadily. He believed that the movement represented more fully the very social and the national vitality:of England than anything which had occurred within our memory. No one could have listened to the able speech of Colotel M‘Murdo without recognisingthe relation of the facts upon which the volunteers acted when theY Were.embbdied. Colonel M‘Murao -was a high authority, a pupil of Sir Charles Napier, no narrow politician, a genuine Radical, but at the same time a genuine Englishman, one from whom PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd.' WSPA PE _ • ? , 5-1 • ;:•';' , 4"' he (Mr. Newdegate) as a Tory - 'effi4st Ith the spirit of nationality, or rather to-geogae inn the phase in which it had burnt so brightly, though so fatally, perhaps, among our cousins across the Atlantic. (Hear, hear.) His belief was. that the volunteers in the present day represented the spirit that planted the yew trees that stand about his burying-place at Harefield. Those yew trees had grown for three or four hundred years, but, thank God, the sap was in them still, and so was the spirit of the people of England fresh and green —ever green. It would be peaceful with its neighbours abroad, but there was something prudent in English character which said to its neighbours, "If you come here as guests, we will welcome you ; but you don't think of coming here in any other character." We said this in good fellowship, but it was necessary to repeat it now and then, because they had seenthat sad exhibition on the Continent to which Colonel M'Murdo referred. They had seen little Denmark, with whom England is allied --a little nation, but a great centre of freedom—invaded and despoiled by two neighbouring Powers. It was a . warning to wealthy England, and he was sorry that wealthy England did not say to France and the other neutral Powers, " You have declared what you conceive to be 'right, and you should join in enforcing it." That might not be thought a- peaceful sentiment, but they represented the Peace Society, and on what footing ? That they would make the world keep the peace towards themselves, and if they abandoned the cause of the right they then represented mere sel fishness, which was representing the element that must succumb to the " rule of thumb," because the rule of selfishness was that the strongest should rule the weakest, irrespective of all right. (Hear.) That was not the principle they represented. They re presented the right of Englishmen to their own homes ; they represented the right of the nation to every ine of soil' within its coa.aliancl what their ancestors had acquired. And, after all, what Was it that led to the volunteer Movement ? It was that quiet person, Paterfamilias, alias John Bull, whom Punch represented always as an apoplectic old gen tleman-- although he did not think he was repre sented there in that character—observed that the regular army of England was about 1.40,000 men at the most. Well, now, the English nation, with those 140,000 men, had to guard an 'empire on which the sun never sets; and if the 1 0,000 men were all sent to guard the extremities ssf the empire, how would they fare at home ? Pkterfamilias looked tc; figures, like a prudent man ---for he was very eco nomical—and he made up his mind the 140,000 men were not enough to meet tae contingency that might arise, for France had nearly three times the number, so had Austria. Russi.a had many more, with the ' power of adding to their number by conscription-- of which they (the volunteers) represented the re pudiation. Well, the time was past when the truths that had been spoken by Colonel M'Murdo would be questioned. Even Mr. Bright defended to the uttermost the efforts _ that had been made by the Federal Government to re-establish their authority. How then could he—if he ever did, which he (Mr. Newdegate) did not believe—dispute their right to associate for a similar purpose, that purpose being to maintain the authority respected against all comers—(hear)—foreign, as your first object; but if the question were asked, you would answer domestic also. (Cheers.) But, like every other measure founded on truth, let them remember that the measure under which they were incorporated was wholesome in its collateral in fluence and effects. He felt, before that movement took place, that Birmingham was behind the older cities in those traditional associations which bound class to class for objects superior to those simple matters of local and personal interest in which the civil power of the corporation was necessarily en gaged. He was confident they all felt that, in that volunteer movement, under the auspices, the wise management of their excellent colonel, guided by their lord lieutenant—(cheers)—Birmingham had acquired a social and civil elevation and dignity, and that they were combined there for a national purpose—for a purpose worthy of them not only as Birmingham men, but worthy of them as English men ; and there was something elevating in the fact that they wore their colours for a national and not merely for a local purpose. (Cheers.) He be lieved the volunteer movement in Birmingham had carried Birmingham upwards in its course of pro gress ; that they were establishing one of those - wholesome associations by which the older cities of the kingdom had been combined and influenced in their social relations. He rejoiced that in them selves they represented a feeling which was more wide-spread. They had in themselves a strong esprit de corps, and they had inspired an esprit de corps in Birmingham which was represented by the donors he now asked them to join him in thanking. (Cheers.) He rejoiced in every mani festation of the old spirit. Why should they be ashamed either of the spirit or of the process by which she had reached her present eminence ? They did not mean to see England degraded. They must keep her what she had been—they must keep her at the least as she is ; they must not have it that the children of the present generation should have cause to lament the weaknesses and defalcations of their fathers, and he rejoiced in witnessing in that hall the spirit that when the Bulldog was on a reef fought her to the last, and when the hull was useless, blew her up. (Cheers.) That represented the alternatives of war. Thank God, the organisation of the volunteer movement was to secure peace, but they might depend upon it that England could only have peace aslong as shewas respected ; but he asked them to thank those donors who, beyond their orga nisation, represented the spirit by which they were actuated—the spirit which had made and would make England respected. (Loud cheers.) Col. MAsoNthenrose to present to Col. 111 , Murdo the swords. Having thanked Col. theM pl'llruizredsothfoart having honoured them by presenting evening, - he referred to the cirlieuomststalonscteshisunderme mentos which the gallant colonel had almost of his career in India, and having described several incidents in that career associated with the swords about to be presented, spoke in high terms of the great services which Col. M'Murdo had ren dered to the volunteer force of the kingdom during the time he held the office of Inspector -General of Volunteers. The volunteers of Birmingham, he con sidered, were particularly indebted to Colonel M'Murdo, and they had considered it their duty to endeavour, to a certain extent, to show him how they appreciated his motives and actions by restor ing to him those weapons, which he might hand down in his family as heirlooms ; and when in time to come the inscription on them was read, it would be said the volunteers appreciated the man that de served well of his country. (Loud cheers.) Colonel M‘Munno, who i svas ag ainreceiv r et r l dB l , Vit to h loud cheering, said he had, n a very few words, thank them for that beautiful act of friendship to an old soldier. (Loud cheers.) mTaheirrscololonng, long elhad read something out of a book of matters ago forgotten, and which happenedsthey when saw, getting he was a young man—and he was now, a old. (Cheers.) It had pleased Providence to visit contained by him with what was gene rall y called an affliction, by the destruction of his house and all it fire. They would believe him when lie said he thought nothing of that, and that he rather rejoiced it should have occurred, and that he should have thus found out that he possessed so many valuable, warm, and kind friends. (Cheers.) He thanked them for the appropriate, soldierlike act of friend ship they had conferred upon him, which he appre ciated, and which his children would appreciate.
