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). Though not yet fully completed, the traffic already equals that of many of the best American lines. During the first six months of 1 8 65 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 £287,382, for three months, or at the rate of £1,149,528 per annum.

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 lino 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 best line of communication by which the enormous goods and pas senger traffic centring in the Western cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at New York and the sea-board. 2. The local traffic is equally enormous, owing to. its t raversing the newly-discovered oil districts of Pennsyl ;°ania and the great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some ' t oes. of the local traffic thus waiting for development may De formed from the single fact that this oil district now Yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the mile of which as much as 3d. to 4d. per ton per " - e Is willingly paid. A Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic a nd Great Western Railway under one executive has been I mule, 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 tiPersede those previously issued, with the exception of :-,919,000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of t he security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in November, 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 t o ° rtgage deed (under which the Consolidated Mortgage ndsare 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 B 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 xnents. The Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of $60,000,000, 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 sterling, after paying all working expenses, it is calculated by 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 are Opened, so that the security for the Bonds is ample, and there is every prospect that, in addition, a high rate Of dividend will be paid on the $30,000,000 of Share C apital.

This Company is formed for the purpose of executing Public Works in Naples, and will commence operations by constructing a Boulevard, upwards of a mile in length and 80 feet wide, connecting the centre of the city, the Royal Palace, and the Government buildings with the Chi a j a , an d Corso Victor Emanuel, the chief carriage drive of the Neapolitan people. The entire project is shown on the accompanying plan, where the portion coloured red indi cates the first section of the works, and that coloured blue (for which plans are now being prepared, and arrange ments are in progress with the Municipality) is marked out to be subsequently proceeded with. Naples, the third city in Europe, contains about 600,000 inhabitants, and is rapidly increasing in population and commercial development. It is the port and centre of a population numbering nearly 2,000,000 souls, dwelling within a radius of twenty miles, and is much frequented by foreigners from all parts of the world, both for tempo rary and permanent residence. A tender for this work was made to the Municipality of Naples, in accordance with a decree of expropriation, and having been accepted by them, and approved in due form by the prefect, on behalf of the Government of Italy, the requisite compulsory powers are thus secured for the pur chase and expropriation of the necessary land in fee-simple for the intended object, without delay of other legal forma ,. lities. The Municipality of Naple; upon accepting this tender required - the usual deposit of caution money, which the concessionaire has accordingly paid. The Municipality contributes a subsidy of 1,800,000 f., progressively as the works proceed, Contractors have undertaken to purchase all the land necessary and to complete the construction of the new thoroughfare in the style of the edifices lately erected on the new Boulevards of Paris, including the formation of the road, paving, and works of drainage, &c. The new houses are to be 20 metres high (65 feet), and the total cost for houses, land, &c., amounts to 620 f. (£21165.) per square metre of the area built upon. The contractors relying upon the success of the under taking have accepted these terms, and they look for their remuneration out of a portion of the surplus profits after repayment of capital, interests, and all other expenses. This remuneration has been fixed at one-fourth of the realised profits ; the remaining three-fourths being divisible among the Shareholders. From a report published by the Muncipality of Naples in 1862 on the value of house property there, and from the increase of value since that date, which is estimated by experienced residents at upwards of 30 per cent., the reve nue from rentals would be calculated to yield at least 10 per cent. per annum on the cost of construction. The value of house property in Naples is reported to vary, according to locality, between twenty to twenty-five years' purchase, houses in the Via Toledo being valued at twenty-five years', those in the Ohiaja, district, and in the vicinity of the new street, at twenty years' purchase. When the proposed Boulevard is opened into the Toledo it is be lieved that these houses will command an equal if not a higher price than those in the Toledo. Taking the value, however, at an average of only twenty years' purchase, each square metre yielding a minimum rental of sixty-five francs, or over 10 per cent. on a cost of 620 francs (£24165.), would attain a selling value of 1,300 francs (£52). There is alarge and increasing demand for house accom modation in Naples, and house property being the favourite investment of the Neapolitan people, immediately houses are completed they find ready purchasers. Indeed, in many cases, contracts for sale can be made in anticipation of their completion. After a, most careful examination of the present project and of all attendant circumstances, it is calculated that a share capital of £600,000, together with the returns from sales, taking place during the progress of the works, will be sufficient to work out tho entire concession. And the calculation, founded upon the above stated rate; exhil4its as a result—within the term of eight years to be occupied in completing this enterprise—returns, from the disposal of successive portions of the estate, which promise to fur nish at least £5OO in the aggregate of bonuses upon every subscription of .£ loo —exclusively of the entire repayment of the capital, or, in other word; a capital profit of 500 per cent. ; with intervening interest at the rates of 5 per cent., 6 per cent., and 10 per cent. as described. The Report of Mr. Burgos, the Architect, of London, who was especially deputed to make investigations on the spot, is referred to in corroboration of the foregoing state ments. A provisional contract has been entered into for the transfer of this Concession to the Company for the sum of £50,000 as the consideration for such transfer. The Company, under their Articles, adopt and confirm the agreements and contracts, and the Directors are en joined to carry out the same, to repay the caution-moneys, discharge the considerations as agreed, and to pay . the various expeases and commissions incurred to constitute the Company. The Company indemnify the first contractors in the usual manner, and the Financial Agency Commis sion is fixed not to exceed two per cent., to cover and in clude commissions for acceptance upon bank credits required. Power is reserved in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which can be seen at the Temporary Offices of the Company, for the Board to enter into engagements for other public works deemed promising by the Directors ; as also to purchase or lease premises for improvements or use, and to create and issue redeemable Debenture Bonds and Deposit Notes, in proportion to the progress of the works, and to the extent of one-half of the value of works completed from time to time. The right is hereby reserved to allottees of Scrip Certi ficates to pay up the full nominal value thereof so that they be convertible into fully paid shares. Deposits upon which no allotments are made will be re turned in full. Prospectuses and all information can b e o b ta i ned from Messrs.

On Thursday evening the Conservatives of 'Wor cester and neighbourhood made a demonstration in recognition of the contest which Mr. James Levick fought in the interest of Conservatism at the recent Parliamentary election. About 200 of the leading Conservatives of the city and county sat down to dinner at the Guildall, and in order that the poorer members of the Conservative party might make merry on the occasion, a number of tickets for creature comforts were distributed amongst them. The great feature of the day was the public dinner at the Guildhall. The chair was taken by Sir E. A. H. Lechmere, Bart., the president of the association, and among the company present were the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Bart., M.P., G.C.B, ; the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Mr. A. 11. Royds (High Sheriff of the county), Mr. Jas. Levick, Mr. W. E. Dowdeswell, M.P., Mr. T. G. Curtler, &c. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Mr. Levick," and that gentleman having replied, Mr. T. G. CURTLER proposed " The Lords and Commons," and in doing so referred to Earl Rus sell's appointment, and asked how many of the sup porters of the Government would leave them if Mr. Gladstone dare move in the Irish Church question? and Ireland. The Earl of SHREWSBURY responded on behalf of the Lords, and made some general observations on their duties and privileges. Sir J. PAKINGTON then rose to reply on behalf of the Commons. After a few introductory observa tions the right hon. baronet expressed his views on the present state of public affairs. In the first place, he said, the change which had taken place. in public affairs, -in his opinion, impressed the necessity that, beyond almost any period within his memory the Conservative party—and by the Conservative party he meant the Conservatives throughout the land, and not a mere handful of politicians limited to the House of Commons—the Conservative party should be firm and united in upholding those principles which were their distinguish ing characteristic, namely, the resolve, as far as in them lies, to maintain, advance, and uphold those main institutions which, together, make up that constitution from which all their greatest blessings flowed. (Applause.) The main cause of that change, in his judgment, in the aspect of public affairs, arose from the death of the late Lord Pal merston. Whatever might have been Lord Palmer ston's faults —whatever might have been Lord Palmerston's merits—he did not deny that he had no disposition, in dwelling upon his memory, to speak harshly of him ; and if he had, that would not be the moment for doing so. He referred to the effect of the death of that statesman merely to found upon it proofs, which he thought he could give, that the aspect of public affairs was dangerously changed. He could remind them of the history of the last six years, and remind them of the tact and cleverness with which Lord Palmerston contrived to maintain a partial compromise between the conflict ing interests by which his Cabinet and his party were divided. (Applause.) He would not enter upon the question as to whether the part taken by Lord Palmerston was an elevated line of policy— whether it was a dignified position on the part of a great statesman--the Conservative head of the Ra dical Government and party--an arrangement of which the Conservatives had no reason to complain. The result, however, was this—that while Lord Palmerston lived, and by his personal influence and the support of the great and powerful Conservative party was enabled to keep in check the Radical ten dencies of his own supporters, the institutions of the country were safe. He referred them to the political intrigues of 1859, and said the result of those intrigues was that the Conservative party had the satisfaction of seeing their principles in the ascendant ; the pledges of reform and Radical change vanish into thin air, and the feeling that any attempt to overturn the institutions of the country would fail. (Applause.) After the death of Lord P ahn erston , as they all expected,lier Maj esty had adopted the obvious course of calling on Earl Rus sell to form a Government ; lie (Earl Russell) had appealed to the country for a fair trial, and that appeal must not be made in vain. 'Whenever he appealed for a fair trial, he must have it, but when a man called loudly for a fair trial, it was rather like his having got himself into trouble. (Laughter.) Earl Russell must receive the fair trial for which he asked ; that trial would take place in the High Court of Parliament, and the jury would be the British public—the verdict he would not anticipate, but if he had the conduct of the trial the first witness he would call into court would be Mr. Forster, the member for Bradford. The public had been some what startled by some of the appointments of Earl Russell in the organisation of his Government, and all were on tiptoe to know what appointments were made. They thought from the appointments they would be able to form a very legitimate inference as as to the probable policy of the new Government. Up to that moment the Government was not com plete, but two appointments had been made--Mr. Goschen, the member for London, and Mr. Forster, the member for Bradford—who had excited some fears. He regarded both as men of high character and great ability ; and although they had not long been members of the House of Commons, they had both already succeeded in establishing a very consi derable Parliamentary reputation, and were both men of extreme opinions. He was sorry to say he could only regard their appointment as tend ing to show a very dangerous disposition on the part of the Government. He alluded more especially to Mr. Forster, who, in a recent speech at Bradford — which was all very well as a speech to his constitu ents, but not so consistent with his position as a member of her Majesty's Government—he i in that said they not detain them with longeyextracts , were bu speech Mr. Forster hadpledged to a comprehensive measure of reform, and they knew what Mr. Forster's school meant b y that. H re ferred to an unstatesmanlike speech of Mr. Glad stone, and said Mr. Forster expressed a desire that the institutions of America should be introduced to England, adding that a poor man must go to America before he could obtain the rights of citi zenship. He grieved that any one with the ability of Mr. Forster should have allowed himself to ex press such extravagant and indefensible views. Under such circumstances the public had a right to ask whether the Government were about to intro duce a Reform Bill embodying the views of Mr. Forster—whether the Government were about to in troduce a very democratic measure of reform. If they do not, Mr. Forster will readily find himself in a position inconsistent with his personal character ; and, if not, Government will have won over a mem ber from an extreme party. He was not without his fears that an attempt would be made at the former of these alternatives ; that the Government of Earl Russell will find that their only escape from that difficulty will be to introduce a measure of extreme reform, and that when the question agamchoemiiesi before the house for consideration , it will not the en. But s t t h a t e e r s e m w a a n s li a k i e l e f t o h r e i r n e h had d h i t t o h l d e r t t o h e t i a n k fear, thebut Ir ea had so u i that i thereofearfo the w r as result—(hear, amongst esult(h the eariiibheearrai —for party a large section who rlaappreciated,tive b Conservative felt ative principles, and of whom Conservative surprise that they should sit opposite to them. A large body would oppose any dangerous reduction of the franchise. In the last session of Parliament Mr. Baines's bill for a 16 franchise was support by Government, who had not courage to bring it in, but it was lost. Three able members on the Liberal side—Lord Elcho, Mr. Horsman, and Mr. Lowe— opposed it, and the Conservatives wondered how they came to be on the other side of the house. He (Sir John) was not without hope that this false state of parties would before long be altered, and a proper and true division of parties bebrought about. The jargon of party cries kept up by the press had proved an obstruction to this, but he hoped and believed that WSPAPER -filfrAixk. it would soon be effceted.Z_Sir Jolighenarefead to the measures brought forward by the Con servative Government, and said he hoped soon to see Mr. Levick a member of the house, supporting - • measures which have been advocated by the Con servative party. With respect to the great question of reform, he thought that no attempt to introduce democratic institutions to the country would suc ceed. Sir John concluded by expressing a hope that his hon. friend (Mr. Levick) would soon be in the house—(applause) —reflecting honour upon himself and the city of Worcester, and bringing his great knowledge and experience for the benefit of the cause they espoused. Archeological Institute of Great Britain Yesterday afternoon the second ordinary meet ingm,as ohfetlhdeinsetshsieonrooofmstheof t membersheAruonfdetlhisSolnstitut e Bou rrh d e -s: o e b e i t e -- c t i h m e ir A m lzr a l nq, u in is () O p:11 m i n d g en t i h n e the e c e h e a d i i r n . g announced that a communication had been received from Sir Charles Phipps to the effect that her Ma jesty had been graciously pleased to sanctio n the holding of the next annual congress of the Institute in Windsor, in July next. He said the exact day could not at present be fixed, as it would depend in a great measure on the period at which the Queen wonld be absent from Windsor Castle. The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Instititte, is expected to preside on the occasion. The first communication, "Notes on Excavations of the supposed Site of the Roman Cambodunum," contributed by Mr. J. Bradbury, was read by the secretary, Mr. Parnell. The place where the ex cavations have been made is about four miles from Huddersfield, and so far as they have gone they have disclosed numerous remains indicative of former occupation .by the Romans. Among the most inte resting objects discovered are baths for hot and cold bathing, and the contrivances adapted for heating the water. The excavations are still in progress. ...: A paper on the Roman pig of lead lately found at Bristol was contributed by Mr. Albert Way, from particulars communicated lsiy the Rev. Prebendary Scarth. From letters cast on the lead, but partly erased, it is supposed to have been of the period of Antoninus Pius in the second century. The pig of lead, which was placed on the table, weighed about 801 b., and is much smaller than others that have been discovered in the same neighbourhood, for it appears that the Romans obtained large quantities of lead from the Mendip Hills. In the course of the discussion on the paper there were some curious commentaries by Mr. James Yates and Mr. Morgan as to the meaning of the term " pig" applied to a mass of cast lead. The latter gentleman expressed the opinion that in casting the lead with a large trough, called a " sow," the metal overflowed at the sides, and those masses were called her pigs, hence the word pig had been applied to all similar masses of cast metal. Mr. Yates, on the other hand "con tended that the word pig is a corruption of the word pie, meaning a piece. It was remarked in the course of the discussion, as a peculiar circumstance, that while these pigs of lead cast by the Romans are not unfrequently found in England they are very rare in France. Mr. E. Smirke read a paper on some entries re specting the burning of lepers in the records of the Channel Islands. The records referred to the time of Edward I. or Edward 111., and it might be in ferred from them that some lepers had been burnt to prevent the spread of the disease. Such a supposi tion was, however, contrary to the general feeling then entertained towards lepers, who met with sym pathy from most classes, though they were shut up by themselves as a measure of precaution. Mr. Smirke referred to several ancient French authorities in which it was asserted that at one period lepers and Jews were suspected of poisoning the wells, and among other poisonous matters they were accused of throwing into the water were serpents' heads and "ladies' hair.". In the record particularly referred to there were two or three words missing, which might have shown that it was for some alleged offence, and not merely for being lepers, that the persons had been burnt. Mr. Greaves and the Rev. Dr. Rock joined in the discussion, and agreed in the latter opinion. Mr. Birch made a communication respecting a threatened spoliation of St. Michael's Church, St. Albans. He also alluded to the threatened removal of the rood screen from Christ Church, Hampshire, and read a letter which had appeared from the Earl oNNlalmesbury on the subject. This led to a dis cussion of the fruitful topic of destructive " resto rations" and desecrations by clergymen, church wardens, and architects, in which Dr. Rock, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Smirke, and other gentlemen took part, and several additional instances were men tioned of barbarous attempts at restoration. A resolution was then moved by Mr. Morgan, and agreed to, to the effect that a representation be made by the Institute to the proper authorities to prevent the removal of the rood screen from Christ Church. Some explanatory observations were made by Mr. llewitt on a rare article of defence worn by knights in tilting, called a vamplace, which was exhibited by permission of General Lefroy. Several other objects of interest on the table were briefly explained, and the meeting then adjourned to the 2d of February.

"THE OTHER SIDE." =There is a story of old Dudley Perse, of Roxburgh, a bold rider and a keen sports - man, who, after taking a high wall, completely disappeared, there being a "drop" of double the height. When Lord Gort cried out " What's at the other side, Dudley ?" the answer was, "I am, thank God !"—Blackwood'sMagazine for December. _ KEAN IN RICHARDSON'S SHOW.—It was during the earlier and less fortunate part of his pilgrimage that he numbered Edmund Keanamong his company. The old showmen was not a little proud of this association, and used to give himself some credit for having had a hand in Kean's theatrical education. When Macready's name was becoming known in the dramatic world, Richardson was asked if he had seen him. "No, muster," he said, "I knows nothing about him : in fact, he's some wagabone as no one knows ; one of them chaps as ain't had any eddic,a tion for the thing; ho never was with me, as Edmund Kean and them riglars was." Kean's mother, Mrs. Carey, a descendant of the unfortunate musician, obtaingd an en gagement for herself and her children, Edmund and Henry, in the company of Richardson, in whose bills Henry Carey's name figured for some years afterwards. The first performance of the family was to take place at Windsor. Between Slough and Eton, however, the caravan came to grief and stuck fast in the mud. The misfortune being perceived by some Eton boys, they declared they would drag the caravan into the town without horses. Richardson for various reasons refused to agree to this, and the boys in revenge pelted the caravan as it passed the college. This, it is believed, is the only foundation for all tho stories which have been sot afloat concerning Kean's connection with Eton. The per formances at Windsor opened with the " Magic Oak" and Fielding's " Tom Thumb," in which Edmund played the hero, and his mother personated Queen Dollalolla. To his great surprise, Richardson received a note the next day requiring Master Edmund to come up to the Castle, and perform before the King (George III.). Kean's recitations took every one by surprise, and his wondrous ability was even then acknowledged. His mother, taking advantage of the royal favour, engaged the market hall, and reaped a considerable profit from Edmund's exhibition of his talents before the people of Windsor. The family afterwards re joined Richardson's company, and remained with him for some time. • The last time Edmund Kean played for Rich ardson was at Battersea fair in 1806. He performed Nor val and also Motley in the " Castle Spectre," receiving a salary of ss. a night. Kean would often in his freer mo ments boast that by his tumbling outside Richardson's booth he had tumbled many hundreds of bumpkins inside. —Cornhill Magazine for December. The Execution of Mr, Gordon. The summary execution of Mr. Gordon in Jamaica, without legal trial, appears, upon the face of the despatches, says the Law Times of to-day, to be wholly illegal ; whether it was justifiable, is a question which the local authorities must be called upon to answer. He was not taken red-handed in any overt act of rebellion, or even of sedition, which alone can legalise a drumhead court-martial and a summary execution. His offence, as stated, was plainly a civil crime, over which the civil law alone has jurisdiction. Moreover, he was not captured, but surrendered, placing himself thereby under the protection of the law. No lawyer will hesitate for a moment to pronounce his trial to be illegal, and his execution murder—in point of law. But, of course, there is an answer to this. There are times when necessity overrules all law. Self defence is the first right of communities, as it is of thwheoindeixveidreuias e t ß hi u s t th p e ben is in c a o s p t p i o ip s imminentth danger, t e h x e ist l e a d w , s o n f d the th S at tate it , o w f as pro n o o f t T a in t such ely n d ec u e b s i s n i n ty s rea l and alarm, but a robber Then, threat e ns authorities, , limb, or, in the case of threatening life or violence, so the to and righ , t its t oconsequences.uses or aa:t7lnielminudnivitiYd'uaanl a h r a c s h y a ted have a right to kill trus w h om the maintenance ofp w ea h c e e n a s n o d ci o et r y de i r s areei ithreat ened with dissolution. If Governor Eyre can sh ow of Gordon;if not, he will have been g u ilt y of tion this, he will be enabled amply to justify the execu tion a gr ave crime. It is for him to show that he was jus tified. He had a difficult duty to perform in the face of actual rebellion, where the rebels were, or appeare d to be, au overwhelming majority. In these circumstances he is entitled to a full hearing before even a whisper of censure, much less con demnation ; and then to a large judgment of acts and motives, as assuredly he would have been se verely judged by his present too hard censors, if undue leniency had fanned into a flame the sparks of the rebellion which severity has trampled out. We suspend even an opinion until his defence is fully heard, and we ask the lawyers, who must ack linokwe.ledge the illegality of the act per se to do the FREEDMAN'S AID BAZAAR AT FRANKFORT. —A Bazaar in aid of the American Freedmen was opened at Frank fort-on-the-Maine on Monday, and was to be continued on Tuesday and Wednesday. We have received au ac count of the first day's proceedings only, but from it we gather that the success of the Bazaar was beyond ques tion. The bazaar was attended by the leading citizens of Frankfort with their wires. Handsome presents wore made by Baroness Carl M. Von Rothschild, and by Baroness Willy Von Rothschild. The receipts for the first day were over 3,000 florins, exclusive of a handsome sum of money given as donations to the United States' Consul -General; The Consul-General expects that Frank fort will contribute a total of 10,000 or 12,000 florins for the Freedman's Aid Association.
