The object of this Company is to purchase and work an ex tensive *old mining property, called Rossa (Roca) Grande, In the 'province of Minas Ge,:aes, Rrazil. It is estimated as containing about 21 square miles, in the vicinity o: the eeleb , ated mine of the St. John rel Rey Company. The purenase money is to be £15,000 in cash, and an equal amount in ',hares. Captain Thomas Treloar, in his elaborate report, says— " The rock 1 , , chi fiy clay and talcose slate, of that character which is hig:nly congenial to auriferous formations, and when I add ths.t the lodes are not very far distant from the junction of the slate and granite, every experienced miner will understand its significance. Gold mines in Brazil, as well r,s copper ani, tin mines in England, are valueless when tar from the mysterious effect of the junction of these great roe:ks. " The estate contains three distinct auriferous formations, which may be traced for miles, besides a rich jacotinga unexplored. Diamonds are said to have been found at one Spot. .• The first rock formation is of white quarts and iron, and has yielded from half to five ounces of gold per ton ; the raecon d is of yellow quartz end auriferous arsenical pyrites, and has afforded upwards of six ounces of gold per ton. " The third is of quartz and brown oxide of iron, and about 26 feet wide. In depth it will probably graduate into a pyritic-rock formation similar to that of th St. John Del Rey Company's ‘ , ine at Morro Velho. The whole mass of this lode is auriferous, and portions of it have yielded 50 oitavas of gold per ton. It only requires capital. economy, and practical •xperience to make those lodes as remunerative as the Rock Mine of the St. John Del Rey Company, which has already paid £673,710 in dividends, and one share in which with £l5 paid, is now worth £52." Full reliance is to be placed upon Capt. Treloar's report, - from the fact that he has ha t 16 years' experience in Brazil. in the service of he St. John Del Rey Company, and is chief engineer to the Don Pe& o North Del Rey Gold Mining Com pany, which, ueder his management, has paid a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent on its first nine months' working. Capt. Palley. who has long known nOBB4. Grande, confirms the above report. The late Mr. George Vincent Duval, Brazilian Mining Commissioner, also, in a work written by him, t vourably mentions Rosa Grande, classing it with Morro Velho (Si. .Tohn Del Rey), and says—" Those mines might be aptly tf rmed gold quarries." Prospectuses and copies of the reports, with a map, and forms of applications for shares, may be obtained of the broker, of the solicitors, or at the offices of the Company.

The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the 'well-known and sucecest ul business carried on by the Thames iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black- Wan The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), was established in the year :857, and has now attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., are all of the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad —the Warrior, Valiant, and aiitigates in the British navy notaur -have been built by the Thames Ship-buildin g Company, and orders have been received ^:„ for iron-cl Spanish, and Tur l-. vessels for the Danish, Russian, tsh navies, some of which are now in course of constructio-_,. It has. b' --en determined to add to the existing business of the on'.o Any two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving Dock ° I. and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially F9 r ..nected with its present operations. For this purpose, as D rell as for the large and increasing business of the Com pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as 'the works advance ; and in order to carry out the objects in 'view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of the valuable contracts, rose's, goodwill, and effects of the Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities and engagements, as from the Ist of January, 1804, in consi deration 3f the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that Company will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and £125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of freehold land on the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black well, and the premises and branch works known as the Phcenix Iron Works, Millwall, together with the valuable plant and works. It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving, ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the River Thames is at present insufficient. For this purpose it is intended to virchase eight acres of heel° d land immediately adjoining the works, hdving a frontage both to Bow Creek and tt e River Thames, which 1 nd is, at pre sent, in the occui ation of the Company, with the option of purchase. The pro posad new graving doers will be in the immediate 'vicinity of the E at and West India and Victoria Docks ; and lit is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa tion constant and 'remunerative employmeat for repairs, both of ships and engines, wi 1 be found. The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com pany, which will be transferred to the newComp , ny, , amount to upwards of a million and quat ter sterling :indel,eadently of the work in hand for the forge and rolling mill'), and have all been taken on such terms as fairy to justify the anticipa tion of the same t rofitab!e results which have already at tended the Cor• pany's operations. All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in terest in the ne w Company, anti their seats at its Board, and the management wi 1 remain in the same experienced hsnds which have hitherto conducted it so successfuliy, and raised it to its present state of prosperity.

The leading financial establishments in Paris are the Credit Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realised very large profits for the Jr shareholders—the transactions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embraces general Financial business. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ireland. which, since its establishment, has found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of • a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately , carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follows, viz. To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakin2s. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern meet guarantees and subventions. To make avances to responsible contractors for English and foreign d r ailways, and otha pubic works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special referenoe to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Credit Mobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short per ods.

Therefore the ;\,./ sum of £8,622 has been charg e d t o ca p ital far ad-• ditional weight of iron and for fish plates, and £26,035 has been placed to such renewal account. Arrangements are in progress for the manufacture, under contract, of steel and steel-headed rails, to be laid down in place of iron rails on the main line. The proved results on the London and NorihWestern line afford most valuable evid ence that the Vew rails laid down on the busiest por tions of their lit, e have already lasted 10 times as long as the ordinary iron It is proposed for the future to charge dir.ect .o revenue £70,000 a year for renewals, and to carry' the excess outlay in the next two years to the re newal account, and so far as the extra cost o 6 "fishing" and of steel are concerned, to capital. The company's practical officers report that a regular charge to revenue of L 70,000 per annum, equal to the renewal of 80 miles a year cf improved and strengthened road, will, in the course of five yee,TOI overtake end extinguish the renewal account esta blished. The outlay on capital account for addi tion3 to the plant and property of the company has bcen £47,182, as against £18,142 for 1862. The former sum iucludes t4e cost of 99 new freight cars, two new sleeping cars, and two new engines, being part of the additional plant proposed to be provided in the last report confirmed by the bond and share holders. The Canadian Government have released the £42,500 second preference bonds pre viously retained, enabling the use of these securities for similar necessary outlay. The issue of postal and military service bonds to the company's oredi ors now appears in the capital account, as also the issue of fourth preference stock. The long pending claim of Mr. Tarcotte in connection with the Three Rivers Branch has, during the half year, been amicably settled, and the outstanding claims not disposed of in Canada are now of a very trifling amount. An agreement has been sealed be tween the Grand Trunk and Buffalo and Lake Huron Companies for mutual facilities of working and interchange of traffic, and powers will be sought in the present Session of Parliament to con firm the same. The capital accoant to Dec.3l shows that £16,741,400 had been received, and£16,061,703 expended, leaving a balance of £679,697. The revenue account for the past half year shows that £477,839 had been received and £312,110 expenaed, including £37,037 for renewals, leaving a balance of £165,728. CALEDONIAN. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The report of the directors, to be submitted at a meeting of proprietors on the 7th proximo, states that the gross receipts from traffic and all other sources for the halt-year have been £477,839, as against £439,361 for the corresponding half year of 1862, or an increase of £38,478, or 8.76 per cent, Tnis increase has been obtained in the face of un usually low rates for freight throughout the fall and winter, caused by depressed prices of produce. and by the navigation of the St. Lawrence and the lakes having been kept open, owing to the mild ness of the early winter season, until the close of the year. Thus the winter rates, fixed at a higher scale when the navigation is closed, could not be put in operation, as heretofore, about the first week in November. The estimates formed of the harvest of 1863 in Canada and the Western States have not been fully realized. From these causes it will be noticed that while the total tonnage of freight car ried during the half-year hag been 372,984 tons, as compared with 325,337 tons in 1862, the receipts have only been £282,067, as against £286,273. Thus, the freight of the December half of 1862 yielded an average receipt of 17s. 7d. per ton, while that of 1863 only yielded 15s. ld. per ton. The passenger receipts, on the other hand, show a very gratifying increase—the number of passengers of all classes carried having been 529,723, as against 453,926 in the last half of 1862, or an increase of 75,797, or 16 . 69 per cent. The money earned has been £170,484, as against £127,180, or en increase of £43,304, or 34.05 per cent. Thus, while in 1862 the average receipt per passenger was ss. 7d., that of 1863 has been 6s. sd. This increase has been caused by the conveyance of a larger propor tion of " through" or long distance traffic. The amount carried into the accounts for " postal ser vice" is merely nominal, no settlement having yet been arrived at with the Government of Canada, which is matter of deep regret. This delay has seriously affected the company's finan cial position, preventing it from giving that increased accommodation which the trade of the province stands so much in need of, and has also involved great hardship upon the late creditors of the company, who gave up claims and securities in order to promote the interests of the undertaking, and in the confident hope of that just and early arrangement so often promised, hitherto without accomplishment. The ordinary working expenses show a total outlay of £275,073, as against £262,307 in 1862, or an increase of £12,766, Or 4'86 per cent., expended in earning an increase of £38,478, or 8.76 per cent. The percentage of ordinary working expenses in 1863 is 57'66 per cent., against 59'68 per cent. in 1862. The following statement shows the progress of the net revenue of the company : In 1859 it amounted to £73,357 ; in 1860, to £102,684 ; in 1861, to £142,492 ; in 1862, to £170,233; and in 1863, to £289,901. From the net profit of the half-year—viz., £165,728, there has to be deducted the (nominal) amount of £13,10 4 for postal and military service receipts, and £20,033 for loss on American currency, leaving (including the balance carried forward from last £43,242 rents half-year of £186), £132,777, which has been applied, or is now applicable, as follows to interest on various debentures, including £2,312 instalment of Portland sinking fund, of Atlantic and St. Lawrence and Detroit lines, £49,921 interest of first preference bonds, an d £24,715 second preference bonds, leaving a balance of £532. The half-year's interest accruing on the first and second preference bonds to the 31st of December last will be paid on and after the 15th of April, on presentation of the coupons at the com pany's bankers, and the certificates for the arrears to be capitalised for the first half-year on the second preference bonds, and for the whole year on the third an d f strengthen is s u e d.l r t h rr hien prefe rence improvement ap nr odv renewale n s e t noct kwill of has t e p be permanent r ma ne progressednt subse quentlyway b y rapidly during the half-year.

Th e t o t a l length of line re laid in the year 1863 has been 125 k miles, or nearly one-eighth of the whole length of the Grand Trunk Railway system. The length laid in 1862 was 804 miles.

The expenditure on capital account during the half year amounted to £196,156. The works on the Cleland and the Stonehouse branches were approaching completion, and those of the Rutherglen and Coatbridge and the Leith branches were in progress. Those branches would develope a large amount of additional traffic, and the line to Leith would also be the means of saving a considerable sum now paid for cartage. The ex tension to the town of Peebles was opened for general traffic on Feb. 1. An agreement had been concluded for the acquisition of the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway ; the liability of the company was restricted to £36,500, in addition to the share capital of £70,000; and also an agreement for the purchase of the Glasgow general terminus. The total liabilities were restricted to £214,000. The capital account showed that the total expenditure had been £9,047, leaving a balance of £72,897. GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD. The half-yearly meeting was held on Monday, at the offices, Great George-street, Westminster; Mr. P. Davey in the chair. Mr. C. ELEv, jun., the secretary, read the report. It stated that the increasing traffic carried over the line during the past half-year, and the additional tollage derived therefrom, permitted a small in crease in the dividend, which would be at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares for the past half-year. This encouraging result had been mainly produced by the amalgamation of the three largo lines serving the districts comprised in the Great Western Company system. The arbi tration with the Great Western Company under the leasing act had not yet been settled. Of the deben ture bonds falling due in the past half-year, those bearing interest at 5 per eent. had been all paid off, and the loans obtained had been principally at 41 per cent. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his regret that, in consequence of the tollage account not having yet been settled with the Great Western Company, they were not in a situation to give the quantities of the tonnage, as they could not admit the returns made to them without the power of verification. The payments therefore which have been received from the Great Western Company had hitherto been taken as on account. He had hoped that the arbitration would. have been closed by this time. The arguments and evidence on both aides wore now closed, and he trusted that the result of the arbitration would be satisfactorily to adjust the tollage accounts up to the present time, and to prevent further difference of opinion as to the mode of keeping the accounts and carrying out the terms of the leasing act. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. G. DAT seconded the motion, and com plimented Mr. Eley, the secretary, for the skill and ability with which he had conducted the arbitration without legal assistance on the part of the company. (Hear.) The motion was then put and carried unaui mously. The dividend resolutions were also agreed to, retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and the proceedings were closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman and direo tors. setloendy surface, determining RESEARCHES ON WINE. — In a paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Bechamp states the following facts concerning must and wine.

The on mere goutte, which is the richest in alcohol and extrac tive matter, is obtained by tanning, after a more or less complete fermentation. The next in quality is the via U pressoir, which is distinguished into wine of the first, se cond, and third pressing. The latter is that which contains most water and least extractive matter; it is mixed with all the other wines, because it contains more tannin, which favours the preservation of wine. Tunned wine is still liable to ferment, and does not become clear until after the lapse of several months, when the fermentation is nearly exhausted. Wine is separated from its dregs and ferment by drawing off ; but this operation should be put off for some time, because the q ualit y of wino improves by star ing long on the dregs. In all cases, the contact ofar air should be avoided. Glue is used to clarify wine an the w ine cry off particles of matter floating in it ; after which . ine ohould be left to stand. Sulphuring neutralises the a ed et . ion of ferment by destroying it.
