ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. ------- The object of this Company is to purchase and work an ex tensive gold mining; property, called Ilossa (Itop) Grande. hi the province of Minas Ge.aes, tirazil. It is estimated as containing' about 21 square miles, in the vicinity of the celebrated mine of the St. John Pel Rey Company. The purchase money is to be £15,000 in cash, and an equal amount In shares. Captain Thomss Treloar, in his elaborate report, says— " The rock i 3 chi fly clay and talcose slate, of that character - which is highly congenial to auriferous formations, and when I add that 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 as copper and tin mines in England, are valueless when far from the mysterious effect of the junction of these great . rocks. " The estate contains three distinct auriferous Which may be traced for miles, besides a feh jaeotinea unexplored. Diamonds are said to have keen found at one spot. " The first rock formation is of v; - nite quartz and iron, and has yielded from half to five Ounces of gold per ton ; the second is of yellow quartz and auriferous arsenical pyrites, and has afforded upwar'fts of six ounces of gold per ton. " The third is of o'aartz and brown oxide of iron, and about 36 feet wide. In depth it will probably graduate into a pyritic-rock formation similar to that of th , St. John Del Rey Company' s ,tine at Morro Velho. The whole mass of this lode is auriferous, and portions of it have yielded 50 oitavas gold per ton. It only requires capital. economy, and practical experience to make those lodes as remunerative as tlue Rock Mine of the St. John Del Itey Company, whilt has already paid .£673,760 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 l 16 years' experience in Brazil. in the service of he St. John Del Hey Company, and is chief engineer to the Don Ped, o North Del Rey Gold Mining Com pany, which, ur der his management, has paid a dividend at therate of 10 per cent on its first nine months' working. Capt. Dailey, who has long known Rossa Grande, confirms the above report. The late Mr. George Vincent Duval. Brazilian Mining Commissioner, also, in a work written by him, favourably mentions Ilossa Gl•ande, classing it with Morro Velho (Sr. John Del Key;, and says—" Those mines might be aptly termed gold quarries."

The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the well-known and success! ul business carried on,'" the Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black with The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited). was established in, the year 1857, and has now attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels of war and ships of tie highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manu%ctured on the premises, together with forg lugs and cas,iings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, an .1 other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., are all of the beet class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur —have been built by the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course of construction. It has been determined to add to the existing business of the Company two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as Well 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, assets, goodwill, and effects of' the Thames /ton Works Company, together with its liabilities and engagements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in consi deration of 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 alt 6 per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of Ireehold land op the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black wall, 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 gravino docks eapablr of re ceiving ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the River Thames is at present For this r an urse it e l i s at T i t y cnedto a adjoining P th r :w as o4 - , e t ",t r . ir e 7ro o n f t i ag re e e atf i s to Bow Creek and the River sent. in the occupation of the C ompan y, Th"-ene-s,'whicngla.nd is, at pre with the option of purchase. The pro posad new graving docks will be in the immediate vicinity of the E stand West India and Victoria Docks ; and It is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa tion constant and (remunerative employment for repairs, both of "Axles and engines, wi 1 be found. Th.:2 existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com- Tla:ay, which will be transferred to the new Company, amount to upwards of a million and a quarter sterlingfindependently of the work fu hand for the forge and rolling mills), and have all been taken on such terms as fairly to justify the anticipa tion of the same profitable results which have already at tended the Company's operations. All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in terest in the new Company, and their seats at its Board, and the management wi 1 remain in the same experienced hands Which have hitherto conducted it so successfulty, and raised It to its present state of prosperity.

The leading financial bR tablf shmetits in Paris are the Credit Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of ekPerience, and have realised very large pro fi ts for their shareholders—the transactions of the Credit l'oncier 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 ment guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Crc fit Mobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short per ods. The marked success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value of their reap ntive shares.

The rt port of the directors, to be submitted at a meeting of proprietors on the 7th proximo, states from traffic and all other sources for the half-year have been as against £439,361 for the corresponding half year of 1562, or an increase of £38,478, or 8.76 per cent. This increase has been obtained in the face of un usually low rater,: for freight throughout the full and winter, caused by d e p ressed p rices of produce, and by the navigation of ti..";'t. Lawrence and the lakes having been k ept (Iw o, owing to the mild ness of the early winter season, um :I the Close of the year. Thus the winter rates, fixed a: a higher scale when the navigation is closed, could not 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 has 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 1 Ts. 7d. per ton, while that of 1863 only yielded 155. 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 cont. The money earned has been £170,484, as against £127,180, or on 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 ale) 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. Thu 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 £13,104 for postal and military service receipts, and £20,033 for loss on American currency, leaving (including the balance carried forward from last half-year of £186), £132,777, which has been applied, or is now applicable, as follows-2% 1.067 to interest on various debentures, including £2,312 instulinrnt of Portland sinking fund, £13,212 rents of Atlantic and St. Lawrence and _Detroit lines, £.19,921 interest of first preference bonda, an d £21,715 second preference bonds, leaving it balance of £532. The half-year's int erest accruing on the first and second preference bonds to the 31st of December last will bo 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 th e Whole year on the third and fourth preference stock will be subAr fluent ly issued.

N o lea , than 80 1 , m i les oftlie line reluid with heavier rails fished atthe joints h a ve been renewed, as against tr4l miles in the corre sponding half of 1802. The total length of lino re laid in the year 1863 has been 125 miles, or nearly one-eighth of the whole length of the Grand Trunk R liiwuy syL,teni. The length laid in 1862 was 801 Imes. The number of new sleepers or ties laid in was in 1862, 302,172, and in 1863, 405,001. The Board now consider that the time has arrived for com- NEWS MITI' f 1 4 :4 It • - V 4 +.135? mencing the proposed renewal dually extinguished out of revenue. _ sum of £8,622 has been charged to capital fieztd ditional weight of iron and for fish plates, and' a' £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 North Western line afford most valuable evidence that the new rails laid down on the busiest portions of their lino have already lasted 10 times as long as the ordinary iron rails. It is proposed for the future to charge direct to 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 of " fishing" and of steel are concerned, to capital. The company's practical officers report that aregular charge to revenue of £70,000 per annum, equal to the renewal of 80 miles a year of improved and strengthened road, will, in the course of five years, overtake and extinguish tha renewal account este blirhed. The outlay on capital account for addi tions to the plant and property of the company has been £47,182, as against £18,142 for 1862. The former sum includes taia coat 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. he 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 credi ors now appears in the capital account, as also the issue of fourth preference stock. The long pending claim of Mr. Turcotte in connection with the Three Rivers Branch has, during the half year, been amicably reified, 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 receipts on revenue it c count amounted for the half year to £452,181, against £421,170 f)r the corresponding period of the preceding year, showing an itcrease of £31,011 the working expenses to £183,531, or 401 per cent., against £168,344, or 40 per cent., showing an in. crease of £15,187. 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 Itutherglen and Coatbridgo and the Leith branches were in progress. Those branches would developo a largo 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 Strathacen ltailway ; 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 half-yearly meeting was held on Monday, at. o w offices, Great Gcorge•street, Westminster; Mr. Davey in the chair. 111 r. C. ht.►•:Y, jun., the secretary, read the report. IC stated that the increasing truffle carried over the line daring the past half-year, and the additional tollage di lived therefrom, permitted a small in crease in the dividend, which would he 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 large lines serving the districts comprised in the Groat 'Western Company system. The arbi tratioi: with the Great Western Company under the leasing ac;. had not yet been settled. Of the deben ture bonds falling due in the past half-year, those bearing interest at 5 per cent. had been all paid off, and the loans obtained had been principally at .1 per cent. The CIIAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his regret that, in consequence of the tollago 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 sides were now closed, and he trusted that the result of the arbitration would be satisfactorily to adjust the tollago 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. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. If. G. DAT seconded the motion, and com plimented Mr. liley, the secretary, for the skill and abi l jty with which he had conducted the arbitration without legal assistance on the part of the company. (Hear.) The motion was then put and carried unani mously. The dividend resolutions were also agreed to, retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and the proceedin'js were closed with a veto of thanks to t h e c h a i rman :Ind directors.
