'The Government of Italy, desiring to develop the resources of the Island of Sardinia by the introduction of foreign capi tal in the c onstruction of railways, have, by virtue of an Act bearinz, the Royal confirmation under date of the 4th of January last, conferred 'he following valuable concessions, avli , ch have been purchased for this Company First. The exclusive privilege of constructing railways in the Island of Sardinia. Second. A guarantee or sul - Nention for the lines now pro posed of 9,000 lire for each kilometre of railway, or £9BO ster ling- per English mile, per annum, net revenue, for a period of 99 years, payable as each section is opened for traffic; and, Third. An immediate g' ant to the Company, in perpetuity and absolutely of freehold landed estates, belonging to the Crown, in the Island of Sardinia, containing 200,000 hectares, or 480,000 Enolish acres, the present value of which is offi daily returned at L'500,0003 but which it is manifest will be largely increased by the camp'etion of the railways. The £5BO per ini'e net guaranteed income, together with the comparativEly low rentals now proceeding from the lande estates, and amounting-, according to the Government returns, to £24 000 p r annum, are equivalent to an annual dividend of at least 8 per cent. upon the total estimated cost of the railways. This will be seen from the following calcu lation : Annual Income -8 0 per rag mile for 240 es £139,200 Present rent f rom the lands (suso , pt.ble of increase) 25,0 0 Total £163,200 Interest payable o £2,000,010 Obligations or Debentures at £3 per cent. .£1,001,000 0£6),0'.10 Capital at Li p er cent Shar e Bo,r 00 SAWYER'S FAMOUS LONDON DINNER FOR THIS DAY.

The order in which shares will be paid off in this manner will be determined by ballot. Tee estates are a tuated in various p ‘rts of the Island, and will in great measure be intersected by, or in the neighbuur hood of, the sFvera l lines of r ilway now projected, and also the , everal new roads about to baconstructe • by the Govern ment, for which purpose they havevoted One Million Pounds st ,cling, Some portions of the estet-s are under till :ge; a considerable extent consists of pasturage, and the remaining portions contain forests of oak and other valuable timber. From these forests the do kyards of England, France, and Italy have for many years past derived and are now d riving their supplies of the finest oak. Sardir ia is extremely rich in minerals, particularly silver kart, copper, and ironstone, the latter of the hi g h es t qua li ty. Besides thes . minerals, the Island contains extensive coal fields. which will be developed by means of the intended tailways. The lines n , av projected will be single (with requisite sid ings and passing places), and will be about 240 miles in length ; six years are allowed for their - ompletion. Th. y will be pro ceeded with in the five following sections:- 1. From Cagliari to Iglesias, the centre of the mining cis trict ::nei co :1 fields. 2. From Ca diari to the city of Oristano, 3. From Oristano to Ozieri 4. Prom Ozieri, through the city of SaEsarf, to Porto Torres. b, From Ozieri to Terra Nova. Thus, throughout the whole length of the Island, will be estab;hhed a compete system of railways, bringing into closer connexion the respective shores of the Mediterranean. The most eminent contractors .n this country hay t care fully examined the detailed surveys and sections of the pro jected lines, prepared by the Company's Engineer, and have roffered to contract for the it construction at a sum which, after g pr,visi,n for all p re li m i nary and contingent ex to be ra ns, see fall within the mt unt of capital no , v proposed . a The work'ng cxnenses of railways in Italy and F rance rarely av e - age 42 per cent. of tin gross receipts. This Com pany has stipulated for an allowance of 5) per cent., to be in creased to 63 2-3 per cent. during the first five years, in case the gross receipts do not exceed 10.000 lire kilometre.' On the other hand, the Government have per ye reserved the op tion of purchasing* the railways, at anytime after the ex,ni. r.ition of 30 years. upon payment to the Ce mpany of the vteitie of the rolling stock, Are., and an annuity for the remainder of the term of 99 years ; such annuity to be not less than the average net income of the five most productive of the last seven years, and not less than the net income of the last year preceding such purchas s. i The interest will be payable hall -yearly in London, Paris, Turin, and Gen , a.

The object of this Company is to centralise the large busi ness carried on in negotiating debentures and bonds, making advances on railway and other securities, on mortgage or title-dee is, and on works n progress, and to afford readily acces-ible channels to parties having the charge of parlia mentary bills, to contractors of undoubted position concerned in railways or other extensive public works, and to owners of valuable property of varied character. It will facilitate, in connexion with su3lt securities, the business of Bankers, Capitalists, !!:olicitors, Agents, and Brokers, by relieving them of detail, and in the eases of Pro vincial Bankers, Brokers, and others of the risk incurred by the transmission as at present of bulky and valuable docu ments ; the formation of this Company having in fact been suggested by extensive and influential Provincial Bankers. It will undertake Money Agenci. s, will receive deposit loans for periods and at rates specially agreed upon, will assist to mature impo:tant financial schemes, and also tran sact all such business on commission. On the C ntinent similar Insiitu ions have been established with great success, and have becLme the recognised medium for the agency of such transactions, while in Great Britain no such universally recognised agency exists, and it is to sup ply this want on a scale commensur.:te with the financial operations of the country that the London Financial Asso.ia tion has been organised. No promotion money will be paid, and the preliminary ex penses will be strictly contimd to such as are indispensable. No remuneration will be received by the directors until after payment of a minimum dividena of 5 per cent. to the sh 4 reholders; and a sum equal to one-filth only of the sur plus shall be set aride as remuneration to the Board. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, either to the Directors at the temporary Offices of the Association, or through the Brokers. Every such application must be accompanied by a payment to the Bankers of tue Company of Xi per share on the num ber applied for.

QUEENSLAND AND EMIGRATION.—The estimate on the spot is that Queensland could receive and provide for 2,000 duly qualified immigrants per month, for a long time to come. These 2,000 must be men, women, and children, of all ages below five-and-thirty or so ; they must be able and disposed to work heartily and steadily ; and this includes steadiness and temperance of character and habits. If they are good-humoured and cheerful and sensible, they may begin to prosper at once—may have land, m ay grow cotton for their old comrades to work up at home, and may be better off than they over were, or even could have l)ecn, irk Lancashire,—Pnco a irfek, NEW : - . -4 P;IPft .E' _p 1.3 7 )- \ a r t and Military Intialit : ;.t.v.- -7 , ? -'l7l ~~~ ~: , THE NAVY. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 46011014 powir., Capt. Ross, dismantling in Chatham harbour, has— returned the chief part of her stores into . the dock yard, and today will be placed under the floating shears to have her guns, masts, and other portions of her heavy gear lifted out. As soon as paid offghe will be placed in the Chatham steam reserve. Her Majesty's iron screw steamer Lord Panmure, H. T. Moore, Commander, in the service of the War Department, sailed yesterday from Woolwich Arse nal for Greenhithe to adjust compasses, after which she will proceed to Portsmouth and Devonport, and discharge her cargo, consisting of 550 tons of shot, shell, and other war stores. She is to embark a working party of the Royal Artillery at Davonport, under orders to disarm the Castle of St. Marv, in the Island of Scilly, after which she will return to I),vonport and reload for Woolwich. On Monday the Lord Panmure steamed down to the `lore L;ght from Woolwich and back on a trial trip, to test leer machinery and speed. She had been laid up in dock for the last three months, under the hands of Messrs. Simpson and Co., engine.ers and marine eottractors in the Isle of Dogs, where she was stripped to the bare shell, and extensively repaired in huillnd en gines, fitted with new decks, and coated with Ddy and Peacock's composition. The trial on Monday was exceedingly satisfactory, as, although laden with her full cargo in readiness for departure, her rate of speed was at first 10 1 4 and afterwards 101 knots per hour. This is a marked increase on her former speed, which is attributed to the lengthening of her funnel and other improvements, which now give an increased draught through the fires. The advantage thereby gained is important, as the highest rate of speed realised on her trial trip when new and light is stated not to have exceeded 10 knots per hour. Yesterday a numerous body - of workmen at Chat ham dockyard commenced preparations for Ad' • - hunch of the paddlewheel despatch steamer Sala mis, 4, 250 horse power, which is to take place on the 19th May. The bulkheads at the seaward side of the shed under which she is building have been taken down, and yesterday the mechanics com menced the erection of a gallery at the stem of the ship, for the accommodation of visitors. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty:—John Ligertwood, assist.- surg., to the Jackall ; G.A. Talk, chief engineer, to the Royal Oak ; John Hill, engineer, to the Rayel Oak; Philip Richmond, acting engineer, to the Royal Oak ; Albert Martell, Jas. Clark, and Henry Darroll, assist.-engineers, to the Royal Oak ; E. E. Lucas, acting assist,-engineer, to the Asia, as super numerary; H. W. R oss an d W.

The New York Herald says the latest news con cerning the state of affairs around Suffolk, Va., is to the 16th inst. The attempts of the rebel Gen. Longstreet to cross the Nansemond river with the aid of pontoons were defeated by the fire of our artillery. One of our gunboats—the Mount Wash- ington—was fired into and disabled by the rebel batteries while coming down the river on the 14th inst. She was, however, taken in tow and brought safely through the heavy fire of the enemy. With regard to the news from the vicinity of Suffolk we may state that there is a good deal of feeling in this city relative to the shooting of Lieut.- Col. Kimball by General Corcoran. The letters from Suffolk are conflicting in their statements, but the truth of the matter will, no doubt, be received on the return of the committee who went on for the body of Col. Kimball. Our extracts from the Southern papers to-day are very interesting. The most important item is the full confirmation of our success over General Van Dorn at Franklin, Tenn. The rebels admit that their loss was heavy, and that they had to retreat after six hours' hard fighting. Our news relative to affairs at Charleston came from Fortress Monroe yesterday, on the authority of the Richmond papers. Everything was quiet there. Our troops are in occupation of Coles' Island and the islands of Kiawah and Seabrook in con siderable force. Ger. Beauregard had issued a congratulatory order to the rebel troops in his usual bombastic style, conveying to them certain com mendatory resolutions of the Legislature of South Carolina. The only intelligence we have from the West is the statement of the Richmond papers, of the 16th inst., that two gunboats and three transports had been destroyed on the Cumberland river by Wheeler's rebel cavalry. By the arrival of the British Queen from Nassau, N. P., We learn that fourteen vessels from rebel ports had arrived there from the 16th of March to the 10th of the month, all bringing cargoes of cotton. The following ar© the latest despatches from Charleston : FORTRESS MONROE, April 17. Richmond papers of the 16th inst. are received, .rom which we obtain the following intelligence ; All is quiet at Charleston. The Federals occupy Coles', Kiawah, and Sea brook's Itlands in considerable force. They are protected by their gunboats. (From the _Richmond Enquirer, April 15.) Charleston, April 13. All quiet here. A few blockhders and the fri gate Ironsides off the bar are the only vessels iu sight to-day. A steamship arrived this morning from Bermuda with a cargo of army equipments, &c,, for the Go vernment. (Flom the Richmond E on ti ne l, A pr il 15 , ) Colonel L. M, Keitt, Twentieth Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, has been for twelve months in command of Sullivan's Island, and for some of the time his command included the Main of Christ Church Parish. The batteries on Sullivan's Island have been in great part erected and prepared under his orders. During the bombardment on Tuesday, 7th inst,, he was actively engaged in Fort Moultrie and Battery Bee, and between them. (From the Charleston Mercury, April 11.) GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 55. Headquarters, Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Charleston, S. C., April 10. The commanding Gsneral is gratified to have to announce to the troops the following joint resolu tions unanimously adopted by the Legislature of the State of South Carolina : Resolved, That the General Assembly reposes unbounded confidence in the ability and skill of the Commanding General of this Department, and the courage and patriotism of ,his bravo soldiers, with the blessing of God, to defend our beloved city, and to beat back our vindictive foes. Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be instructed to communicate this resolution to Gen. Beauregard. Soldiers! the eyes of your countrymen are now turned upon you on the eve of the second anniver sary of the 13th of April, 1861, when the sove• reignty of the State of South Carolina was triumphantly vindicated within the harbour which we are now about to defend. The happy issuo of the action on the 7th inst.--the stranded, riddled wreck of the iron mailed Keokuk—her baffled coad jutors forced to retire beyond the range of our guns, have inspired confidence in the country that our ultimate success will be complete. An inestimably precious charge has been confided to your keeping, with every re li ance on your manhood and endurin patriotism.—By c ommand of g Gen. BEA:UREGARD. T HOMAS JORDAN, Chief of Staff. JOHN M. eTEY, A.A. G. Tha following additional despatch was published in the New York journals: — The British steamship British Queen, Captain Le Messurier, arrived at this port last night from Havana and Nassau. The dates from the former are to the 11th and from the latter port to the 13th inst. The news from Havana is of LO importance. Two French vi ssels of war had arrived there from Vera Cruz, whence they sailed on the 4th inst., but our correspondent could not learn that they brought any news. This rather dissipates the report rela tive to the capture of the city of McKie° by the French. The news from Nissan is interesting, as indicat ing the activity and success of the blockade runners. We give a list of the arrivals aril enpli tures of these vessels at and from that put for two or three weeks. tt YJ ARRIVALS AND CLEARANCV AT NASSAU, N.P.

There have been two arrivals from Charleston since our last, the steamer Ruby, Captain Carlin, having come in on Monday, and the steamer Flora, Captain Pickernell, yesterday. Both brought dates to the 20th inst. The Flora, on leaving this port la3t trip, passed, on the 14th inst., near the western edge of the Gulf Stream, several casks, a panel door and two clinker built boats. The last named were bottom upwards and painted green, with a narrow yellow stripe. The steamer was stopped, and a boat lowered for the purpose of ascertaining the name on the boats, if possible, but nothing was discernible on them or the other articles which could lead to their identification. On nearing the blockading squadron, the Flora was chased close to Fort Moultrie, having about thirty shot and shell discharged at her without cffect. One shot passed near enough to an officer on deck, however, to cause him to feel sensibly the agitation of the atmosphere around. The success of eluding the vigilance of the blockaders may be undoubtedly attributed to the skill and persever ance of Captain Piekernell and his cffieers, com bined with the fleetness of the steamer. The Flora is the vessel furnished with a do u bl e screw, of which wo published a description a short time since. (From the Aassau Guardian, April 11.) The steamer Margaret an d Jessie, Captain Wil son, arrived from Charleston last evening, bringing dates to the Bth instant. The long expected attack on Charleston took place on Tuesday last, the 7th instant. Ten Moni tors and the Ironsides, beside about twenty-seven wooden vessels, were engaged in the bombardment. The Ironsides and the iron-clad Keokuk were se verely injured, and Capt a i n Wilson reports having seen, on coming out of Charleston, a vessel sup posed to be the latter, with nothing but her turrets out of water. By one of the passengers in the yacht Julia, which arrived from Havana on Thursday night, we learn that the steamer Marion, Johnson, master, be longing to Spofford and Tileston's New York and New Orleans line, stru c k o n a sunken rock (n e t put down in the cha r t), a bout nine miles north of Double Headed Sh o t C a y Newon h y u n r s r k d a to New the 20dr Orleans n a n s ts. withhe a valuable assort e d S was bound f rom lighthouse, at five p. m . cargo. She passed over the rock, but was so much injured that she was with difficulty navigated to the lighthouse, and just on reaching it she leaked so considerably that the fires in the engine-room were extinguished. In this emergency the captain was compelled to beach her, and she immediat e l y bilged. Mr. J. B. Squires (of the firm of Squires Brothe rs , of this city), who is engaged in the erection of a building am ched to the lighthouse, with the assist ance of his workmen, succeeded in saving a large quantity of the Marion's cargo. Captain Johnston hailed a schooner which passed on the day after the disaster, in which Le despatched the purser and several of his crew to Nassau in order to procure a steamer for the purpose of forwarding the passengers to their destination, but, all the steamers here being engaged, the schooner Vigilant has been chartered for that purpose. Eleven of the passengers took passage on board a brig bound to saved th e p rov i s i ons and stores Cardenas; but the rest preferred waiting for an arrival from Nassau.

One of our gunboats—the Mount Washington— was coming down the Naneemond on Tuesday night, and was completely riddled by field rifle artillery. The first shot that struck her went clear through her boilers; but by good luck the vessel wus running with a small head of steam, and the explosion caused by the ball killed only one of the crew. The navy tender Philadelphia, Captain Rey nolds, being near, at once took the Mount Wash ington in tow, an d brought her safely to this place. The steamer C. W. Thomas, Captain C. G Baker, was also fired on while coming from Suffolk. Seve ral rifle shots penetrated the wheelhouse; but her pilot, Captain Carey, never flinched, and brought the vessel through unscathed, save a few small holes caused by musketry. Thus far no general i engagement h as been brought on. Skirmishing on the lines is constantly occurring, and the enemy is cautiously feeling our position. From deserters it has been ascertained that Long street commands the rebel forces in person, which are said to number nearly 50,C00. I also under stand that the greater portion of the rebel army has been withdrawn from the Rappahannock, and'are concentrating in Eastern Virginia and North Carolina. The late3t Richmond papers make no fnrlher mention of the impending difficulties at Suffolk than by a mere mention that General Longatrcet was known to be within two miles of the town, threatening an attack. Communication botwccn Nodule and Saffolk is uninterrupted by land, and no fears are entertained for a cut-c 4. Oar troops are in the best of spirits, and anxious to COMO in conflict with the rebel traitors. Major General Dix, accompanied by Lieutenant- Colonel W. H. Ludlow and Captain Thomas Lord, Jr., repaired to Norfolk this morning by the steamer Henry Burden, Captai❑ G. A. Cole. It is possible that the General may go as far as Suffolk ere he returns. Great activity prevails in all branches of this department, and if an attack ensues, I hope to give a good account of the troops here. Brigadier General Seymour, chief of Major-Gen. Hunter's staff, arrived here this morning from • Washington, and leaves by the C. W. Thomas for Port kaya). Gen: Seymour evidently carries with him important despatches for Gen. Hunter and Ad miral Dupont, inasmuch as he cannot wait for the regular boat from New York. We have no further news from Washington, N.C.; and as the rebel journals say nothing about Gen. Foster'b situation, it may be taken for granted that he has not yet been compelled to surrender, not withstanding such an absurd report is circulated here, purporting to have come from deserters from the rebel army. Last evening Capt. W. E. Blake, aide-Ae-camp to Gen. Dix and Provost Marshal, was the recipient of a graceful compliment tendered to him by the provost guard under his immediate command. The testimonial consisted of a massive gold pen and pencil case, atitbore the following simple and Ap propriate inscription :—" The Provost Guard to Captain Wm. E. Blake." Ciptain Blake isilighly esteemed by the men of whom he has obergo, and highly appreciated the compliment bestowed on him. (From the Richmond Whig, April 15) Tallahoma, April 13, 1863. To General S. Cooper : General Wheeler reports from Lebanon, 11th instant, as follows : I divided my command into two parties and made a raid upon the Louisville and Nashville and Nashville and Mur freesboro railroads, capturing a largo train on each, and many officers and men. Portions of 'Wharton's and Morgan's cavalry division composed his command. BRAXTON BRAGG. Tullahoma, April 13, 1863. Information deemed reliable was received to-day, stating that Gen. Wheeler had captured two trains—one between Louisville and. Nashville, the other between Nashville and Murfreesboro—with a large number of men and officers, destroying the trains. All quiet elsewhere. Tullahoma, April 14. Further advices have been received from Gen. Wheeler, confirming the capture of two trains, containing 30,000 dole. in greenbacks and a number of prisoners, including three majors, two captains, and three of Rosencranz's staff. It is calculated that 30 of the enemy were killed and 70 wounded. Our loss in killed, none, and only one slightly wounded. Chattanooga, April 13. A fight occurred at Franklin yesterday. Gen. Van Dorn attacked the enemy, with 7,000 cavalry and Freeman's bat tery. The Federals retreated, but advanced again with heavy reinforcements. A bloody fight ensued. Freeman's battery was captured and Freeman killed. Our loss is heavy. We retreated from the place after six hours' hard fithting. Later accounts represent tho recapture of our artillery after the fall of Freeman. We tcok no prisoners. (From the Richmond Sentr22el, April 15.) Grenada, Miss., April 12. Large reinforcements and commissary and quartermas ter's stores have arrived. The new plan is to send a force to each of three railroads coming south. Grant's army joins Rosencranz by water. The Tennessee is falling rapidly. Lieutenant-General E Kirby Smi h hes published an order assuming command of the Confederate forces west of the Mississippi. Alexandria, La,, is announced as his head quarters. The telegraph brings us news of Wheeler's operations in Tennessee, in his character of general superintendent of the railroads in that State and Kentucky, and master of trans portation for Rosencranz. He has been altering the schedule, &c., on two roads in Rosey's rear, no doubt to his great disgust. We have reports also that Van Dorn has had a fight at Franklin, which seemed to have been marked by fluctuat ing and not very prosperous fortunes. Van Dorn is a fight ing man, but does not always win. We do not imagine that the affair was an important one. Franklin is 19 miles south of Nashville, From Suffolk we learn, by way of Petersburg, that Long street's men were knewn to be within two miles of Suffolk yesterday morning, and that citizens who left the vicinity report that firing commenced at half-past five, and was still progressing at nine o'clock, when the informants passed out of hearing. The forces of the enemy at Suffolk are vari ously stated. It is probable that Longstreet, who is known to have been advancing on them, attacked them yesterday morning. From Gen. D. H. Hill and his operations at Washing.. ton, N.C., we have nothing additional. From the Rappahanock, we have a report that there was fighting yesterday morning at Kelley's Ford. We do not rely upon it. From Gen. Wise's movement on Williamsburg, we have nothing further. WASHINGTON, April 17. Lieut.-Commandant Cushing sends to the Navy Department the following despatch : United States Steamer, Commodore Barney, Nansemond River, April 14, 7 30 p.m. This morning the vessels from above came down—the Mount Washington disabled. About half-past 11 a.m. the enemy opened fire on us with some pieces of artillery, giving us a cross fire. At once we got under weigh and went into action, silencing the enemy in an hour. At about 1 p.m. the rebels took up a position within 700 yards of the Mount Washington, which was grounded, and opened upon us with both artillery and sharpshooters. I kept close to the disabled Mount Washington, and fought the enemy until high water, when I ordered the Stepping Stones to take the Mount Washington in tow. This was done under a heavy fire, and at 5 p.m. I had the satisfaction of silencing the enemy's battery. My loss foots up throe killed and seven wounded. I do not know as yet what the casualties are in the other vessels. I have eight raking shots, but fortunately my engine is not disabled. I can assure you that the Barney and her crew are still in good fighting trim, and we will teat the enemy or sink at our post. The most of the wounded and the dead I send down to the Minnesota. It is only requisite to look at the Mount Washington to see with what daring gallantry Lieutenant Lawson fought his vessel. I am now taking her in tow, and shall anchor for the night where we have fought all day. Acting Rear Admiral Lee telegraphs to the Secre tary of the Navy as follows : OFF NEWPORT'S NEWS ; April 16, 6 A,3f. Reports from Lieutenants Cushing and Lawson just received. The enemy have not crossed the river, and there is every indication that they are retreagng, though they still have some artillery and sharpshooters on the Nanse- mond. Our b tits shot down a numb er of their men to-day with canister. We have had three wounded, making in all five killed and 18 wounded in our lit been pretty much contle flotilla, to which, fromed. what I can learn, the fight as fin COMMERCIAL INTFELLIGENCE.

The Nahant received several bad fractures of the deck and sides, below and above the water line. The most fatal blow, however, was given by a heavy rifled shot, which struck the pilot-house, and dislodged several of the bolts, one of which, driven violently inwards, wounded all three of the I inmates of the pilot-house. The most extraordi nary shot the Passaic received was from a large i t ne e h iron,tilick breakingness each eh is placed on the top of all and 10 inch r ifl e d pro j ectile, which struck the top of the turret, secop i ng out a. huge portion of h of the spden l li.no its force plates of an the turret), in w hi c h it made a crater 3 inches deep , and producing such. a shock on the pilot - house es to on the pilot-house (which start its top and raise it up 3 inches!
