Ldon, May, 'The foundation o f i ns ti tutions on the Continent which lBC3. com bine large capital and credit f r financial and industrial en terprise has now become an established fact, and in many cases their success has been remarkable. Such institutions may be abused, and become mere instruments of speculation ; but when prudently conducted and nirected towards lee-Pi mati usinesa it cannot be denied that they meet' ne of the real wants of 'he age. England onse has hither° not participated to in this .n movement, and the cquence is, that Paris has a c siderable ex tent superseded London as the centre of finain ial enterprise. London, nevertheless, affords by far the best sphere for a well managed undertaking of this description. It is the greatest money m ar k et of the world ; the point to which all oreign nations resort to raise capital ; the niece where large contracts can be made and leans negotiated. There is clearly no oth, r money market where concentr ted capitcl and credit ought to command a more se ure or a larger profit. England also, in her Colonies, and above all in her vast In dian Empire, affords a field for legitimate enterprise, which is unequalled by any oth r c untry. India, with a popul tion of 18 0 ,000,c,00, rapidly advancing in wealth and prosperity, re quires nothing more to accelerate its development than the direction towards its territory o f some por ti on • f that vast annual accumulation of lengllsh capital which seeks invest ment at a 1,,w rate of interest. To ally the demand of India for capital at 10 or 12 per cent. with the English demand for investment at 4 r 5 per cent., of itself affords an ample sphere for operat , One, it is to meet these requisites that some-ge , tiemen experi enced .n financial and mercantile operati me have associated the mselves together in order to form an Fnglish company, in alliance will the following leading r anking houses and capitalists of France, who are about to form a similar com pany in Paris, under the title of " Societe gdner tie p ur favoriser le cleveloppment de l'industrie et du commerce de la France," the anplicltion for a concession being made by— M.

A treaty has been shoed with this party by which they Subscribe for 20,000 shares in this Company's present issue, and the same number in case of a second issue, the Company eubscribing for 20,000 of t heir shares, and arrangements being made by which the two Companies act as each other's agents, and have the ontion of participating to a certain extent in each others operations. The business will be to negotiate Loans and Concessions, Assist industrial enterprises, Public Works and Railway un dertakings ; negotiate Foreign, Indian, and Colonial Bonds ; conduct Mercantile transactions ; and establish agencies for large commission business • in a word, to und er t a k e a ll suc h operations as an intelligent experienced Cap talist might effect on his own account with a capital of millions, with the exception of such purely speculative transactions as are pro hibited by the Memorandum of Association. The credit and resources derived from a large subscribed capi tal could thus be employed in earning dividend with a com paratively small paid- up capital. It is probable that not more than 40 or 50 per cent would ever be called up on any shares, a further issue being made whenever the increase of business required it. No call will exceed £2 per share, or be made at interv.,is of less than two months. Instead of fixed salary, the Directors will receive no reeeu rneration until the Shatehorders have a dividend of 5 per cent. or upwards, and will then be paid by an allowance of 10 per cent. on the divisible profits of the year; and their interests are further identified with the success of the Com pany by clauses in the Articles of Association, and by giv ng them the privilege of taking a fifth of any further issue of shares. Subject to this, and to the subscription of 20,00 shares in each New Series by the French party, all new shares will be distributed pro rata among existing Share holders, 20,0 0 shares have been subscribed as above stated by the French p .rty, and the remaining 105,100 by private subscrip tion ; but arrangements have been m de for deducting om these subscriptions, so as to give the public the option of übseribiirc for 35.000 shares. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association lie for inspection at the office of the Solicitors. Messrs. Baxter, Rose. Norton, and Co ,6, Victoria-street, Westminster ; and at the Temeorary Offices of the Company.

The object of this enterp ise is to take adva ,, tage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise Duties, ur der circumstances peculiarly favourable, the materials bring obtaired by a patent process in full ope rati,n, at prices very h Oily remunerative, as compared with the cos . of similar products in the ol.en market. It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to £ 9 5 per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printfng l'apers, at a time when there is a con stantly lucre ring demand for the supply of 11Joks, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plans, with the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1 8 62, it is proposed to purchase at their actu •1 cost, the under taki.tes of the Kttrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the ITimate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company. To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the tulle t extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of .£150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed hiehly d sirable for the sa f e and profitable working of a Limited Company. After providing for every ( onting,ency, the net profit s calculated upon the present working and receipts, as appled to the enl arge d p r oduction, vf z., 32 to 36 tons of from £2O, 25 to 30 ton s of man ure powder, perweek, will be to £25,000 per annum, accordin,2 to the condition of the mar kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 pe r c ent., a ill, Pro 8- Peas of considerable increase upon favourable developments of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the state of affairs in America, and other di tubing causes. A very large sh are o f th e capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Yesterday the Royal Oak, 35, 800-horse power, Captain Campbell, fitting at Chatham, com menced shipping 80 tons of powder from the Government magazines at Upnor Castle. She also received on board the first portion of her armament from the Ordnance wharf, consisting of eight of the 110-pounder' naval Armstrong guns and 12 of the cast-iron smooth-bore 68-pounders. She is fur nished with rear chock carriages on each broadside. The whole of her armament, with the exception of three of her Armstrong guns, will be placed on her main deck, the Armstrongs on her upper or fighting deck being exclusively pivot guns. The Royal Oak is fitted with patent wrought iron capstans by Messrs. Brown and Co. The whole of the work re quired to be executed on board was completed yes terday by the dockyard mechanics, who have now left ship. The Royal Oak will be ready for sea in a few days, and awaits orders from the Admiralty. The trial trip of the Snipe, 5, screw gun -vessel, fitting for the first division of the Chatham steam reserve, has been postponed in consequence of the high wind. The screw steam gunvessel Snake, 4, Commander John Moresby, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday, as already reported, left Hongkong January 26, the Cape of Good Hope March 31, St. Helena April 11, and Ascension April 18 ; she crossed the Line April 23, and touch at St. Vincent May 2. The Snake experienced fine weather from Hongkong until the evening of the 12th inst., when about 40 miles south of the Lizsrd. There, in a very heavy squall from N.E., by E., a sea struck her on the port side abaft the mainmast and washed away about 20 feet of the bulwarks. At the same time, the cutter was washed away from the crutches and fell on Lieut. Henry C. Streeten, who was taking shelter under the bulwarks on the weather side, and crushed him to death. The second master, Mr. Samuel M. Spry, was injured. The Snake spoke, March 19th, in lat. 32 27 S., long. 30 22 N., the ship Belvidere ; 21st, off the Cape of Good Hope, a Russian squadron, con sisting of three gunboats and one corvette, home ward bound ; 23d, in lat. 34 34 S., long., 23 48 N., the English ship Polonaise, from Sourabays, in Java. for London, and the English ship Stornoway; April 3, in let. 29 S., long. 10 40 N., the English bark Bride, of London, outward bound ; 25th, in lat. 5 2 N., long. 19 30 W., the French bark Le Moise, outward bound ; May 3, in lat. 19 30 N., long. 25 27 W., the English ship Wave Queen ; and on the 18th, in lat. 48 27 N., long. 94 W., the English bark Inglewood, of Greenock, homeward bound. The Snake left at Simon's Bay the screw steam corvette Orestes, 21, Capt. Alan H. Gardner; the receiving ship Seringapatam, Capt. James H. Cockburn ; and the iron screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Captain George Le G. Bowyear, which arrived on the 11th from Hongkong, and the passenger ship Verulen, from Adelaide, homeward bound, were at St. Helena. The United States screw steam corvette Mohican was at St. Vincent's. The Powerful, old sailing line-of-battle ship, did her last duty yesterday at Portsmouth as a target s hip, The plates tested comprised one rolled, from Messrs. John Brown and Co., of Sheffield, 15 feet in length, 3 feet 8 inches in width, and 5 inches in thickness. The Thames Ironworks sent two ham mered plates of about the same dimensions as Messrs. Brown's. The Mersey Works, Messrs. Clay and Horsfall's, sent two hammered experimental char coal-iron plates of about 5 feet by 3 feet 3 inches, and 5 inches in thickness; and the Millwall Ironworks sent three of nearly the same dimensions, two of the three being rolled iron, and the third of steel. The practice was made as usual under the superintendence of Capt. H. S. Hewlett, C. 8., with a 95cwt.68 -pounder gun, and the distance was 200 yards. Messrs. Brown',, plate received nine shots in one-third of its lent. One of the Millwall iron plates received eight shots and the other seven. One of the Thames plates received eight shots, thus overlapping each other and four others being edge blows. All these plates were more severely tested than was the 51-inch French plate that was recently tried at Ports mouth, and all passed the tests with considerably less injury to the metal than was inflicted on that plate. The second plate of the Thames Company was not quite of so good a quality as the first named and the experimental steel plate of the Millwall Company broke up under the first shot. The two Plates manufactured by the Mersey Company were also easily broken up by the shot. It is necessary, however, to state with regard to these two plates that the Mersey Company manufactured them at the request of a company in the iron trade, having a peculiar kind of charcoal iron, which they thought very suitable for armour plates, and which they de sired to have tested. The result has, however, proved it to be utterly unfit for the purpose. As we have again referred to the French plates it may not be inopportune to observe that, forming a judg ment from the results obtained in the trials of some hundreds of English plates at Portsmouth, and from the trials of the two French plates, the manipula tion of the metal is far superior in the English to the French, but that the latter have a great superiority in the quality of the metal. paddle-wheel steam vessel Vivid, Her Majesty' s having been fitted with new boilers, and having undergone thorough repairs in hull and machinery, yesterday got up steam under the sheers at Wool wich, alongside the dockyard wharf, for an engi. user's trial, which proved satisfactory. The Vivid will be ready again for service at the end of the present month. The Valiant, iron-cased frigate, 4,063 tons, build ing at the Admiralty yard, Poplar, is to be launched in July. Her armament it has been decided will be as follows :—Maindeck, 24 68-pounders, 95cwt. each; six 110-pounder Armstrongs; upper deck, 4 110-pounder Armstrongs—total, 34 guns. By this arrangement she will have four Armstrong guns on the upper deck, instead of two as previously arranged. The paddle sloop Hydra, in No. 1 dock at Wool wich, has undergone extensive repairs. She will be taken out of dock at the end of next week. Her armament for surveying service is intended to be as follows:—One 32-pounder, 50cwt. 9ft.; two 12- pounder howitzers for boats. This vessel is to be fitted with a light poop, for a chart room, and is to be employed in the surveys now in progress by Captain Spratt in the Mediterranean. The National Company for Boatbuilding have re ceived orders to build a 28-ft. cutter for Woolwich dockyard by machinery. It is understood that launches and pinnaces can be built at less expense by hand labour in the dockyards, as they are built with two thicknesses of boards arranged diagonally. This order has been given by the Admiralty to test the capabilities of the National Company in com petition with their dockyards. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. George Borlase and Lieut. Augustus B. C. Booth to the Cossack; Sub- Lieut. Cosmo F. M. Gordon to the Royal Oak ; Henry J. 'l'. Hildyard, midshipman, to the Liver pool ; W. B. C. Christie, surgeon, to the Esk; Matthew Coates, assist. -sung., to the Victory, for Hasler Hospital; F. N. Manning, acting assist.- surg., to the Esk; Edwin Jsgo, paymaster, to th e Esk; Jas. W. Lishman, paymaster, additional, t o the Pembroke; S. S. L. Needham, assist.-paymas ter, to the Excellent ; F. K. Fesenmeyer, assist-pay master, to the Esk; and H. G. Dovimman, cl er k , to the Esk. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES-THURSDAY. The racing on Thursday in the Derby week is usually considered of very little importance in the eyes of the gene ral public, and few but the habitues of the turf congregate to witness the afternoon's sport. Prior to the starting for the first race some little betting took place on the Oaks. 4 to 1 was offered on the field, and 5 to 2 was taken about Lord Stamford's stable. Both Isoline and Amelia were backed at the respective prices of 12 to 1 and 15 to 1, and 100 to 6 was laid against Sea Nymph. There was a alight scene during the afternoon, caused by Count Batthyany sending for Wells to inquire the cause of Tambour Majot's misconduct at the start for the Derby, as with the stable boy on his back the horse has never shown any sign of bad temper, but, on the contrary, has always been perfectly tractable. Wells replied that he used every means in his power to subdue him, but was unable to do so. This did not appear to satisfy Count Batthyany, whereupon Wells suggested the propriety of his resigning the jacket and cap, which, in plain English, means retiring from the Count's service. This was immediately accepted. The racing was of such a character as to require no comment, unless it be that Buckstone, after pulling up in the Epsom Cup, was so giddy that his rider, Challoner, immediately dismounted, and the horse had to he supported for some time by men on either side of him. Full particulars of the racing will be found given below. The Shirley Stakes of 50 soya each, h ft, for 3-yr-olde; colts, Bst 101 b , fillies, Bst Mb. Winners extra. Was void.

At the second attempt they got away upon equitable terms, the lot being spread across the course ; but, after running a few strides, Starbeam drew slightly in front, and came on with the running to the half distance, where she was headed by Midnight Mass on the upperground, who was joined shortly after by the favourite and Tomato, the three running abreast to the centre of the stand, where Fille de l'Air was seen to give way, leaving the pair to finish a slashing race home, Midnight Mass, who always had a trifle the best of it, winning in the last stride by a heal ; a length between the second and third, Starbeam was fourth, Lady Nichol fifth, and Goldylocks next.

Betting -3 to 1 each agst Suburban and Bosh, 4to 1 agst Genet al Hess, 5 to 1 agst Tourist, and 10 to 1 agst Overton. Bosh, in company with Tourist and The Principal, made play, Overton going next, with the others lying up to the T.Y.C. post, where Tourist came on with a clear lead to the distance, where he was headed by Sauterelle, The Principal at the same time dropping into the rear. Half way up the two leaders were joined by suburban on the upper ground and General Hess, the four running together to the Stand, where Suburban headed Mr. Bowes's colt, and won very cleverly by a length, a neck separating the second and third ; General Hess was fourth, and Bosh next, Principal being last. The Epsom Cup of 10 soya each, with 200 soya added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards, weight for age, winners extra with certain allowances. Derby Course. 26 subs. Mr. J. N.

The favourite went to the front immediately the flag was lowered, but after running a few strides he was pulled back, and the running was taken up by Zetland, Golden Pledge going second, with Atherstone and the favourite next. Entering the old course, Zetland put on the steam,and con • siderably increased his lead descending the hill; but on approaching the road Golden Pledge was beaten,nnd Ather stone on the lower ground drew forward, followed by Buck stone, the three running nearly abreast to the Stand, where the favourite was in trouble. Atherstone at the same time got his head in front, and won a splendid race by a neck, Zetland defeating the " crack" by a head for second. Hurricane was a bad fourth, Port Royal fifth, and Golden Pledge last. On pulling up Buckstone was taken with the staggers, and would have fallen had they not held him up, and for a brief period serious fears were enter tained of his recovery ; but he shortly after was enabled to walk to his stable.

The following notice was posted on the board in the ring at Epsom yesterday:— " Lord Stamford having requested the stewards to inquire into the circumstances of Hypatia's number being put up for the Burgh Stakes on Wednesday, the stewards have ex amined Mr. Dawson, who states that Lord Stamford had, immediately after the Derby, ordered Hypatia to be sent home ; that Loates, in ignorance of the orders, and without Dawson's authority, weighed for Hypatia, and the number was consequently exhibited ; but as soon as Mr. Dawson saw the number up he ordered it to be taken down.

To pass over minor places, and their less emi nent officiating ministers, we may begin with Yorkshire, and in Yorkshire with Richmond, where Watson, Gill, and Winteringham do their spiriting, and whence Lord Zet - land's Voltigeur, Fandango, and Vedette, burst forth upon an approving public. A little to the south is Middleham, glorified by the Flying D u t c h m an, whose trainer, Fobert, still has a large string, with one of which , thanks to steam transit, he has just won the Prix de Diane, or French Oaks. At the same place are the Dawsons, father and son, the one just now enjoying the precarious patronage of Lord Glasgow, the other that of the great betting man who turned out Tim Whiffia. John Here, also, Canny Osborne holds sway over horses and their boys, and turns more of the latter into good jockeys than any one else can. But the great sti onghold of Yorkshire affections is Malton, near Scarb - .-ourh, where lives he who has been so often called the V, /Awl of the Nor th t hat it turns one sick to hear the name a N:ip, the 'n ighty John Scott, t ra i ner of countless winners for Mr. Bowes and Lord D er b y. There, too, is that lesser luminary I' Anson, the o wner and trainer of Blink Bonny. Coming southwards, except at Cliff's and Wadlow's, in Staffordshire, the eye rests on no ground till it reaches Newmarket; and there, at the head quarters of the turf, more stables are to be found, espe cially of late years, than in any other s p ot. Two more Dawsons, John and Joseph (th e latter Lord Sta mford's private trainer, having a supplemental establishment at Ilsley) ; Butler, employed by the late Duke of Bedford, and the original manager of Asteroid , ; Godding, th e t error of handicappers and the joy of MN r. aylor ; Harlock, who had the care of Lord Exeter's large stnd, and now has a public stable; Jennings, of the French Confederacy, at present responsible for the Hospodar and Stradella failures ; old - Tom Taylor, who has mi gra t e d f rom Bretby Park to this more racing atmosphere ; Hayhoe, who acts for Baron Rothschild ; and, trainer and jockey in one, the great Mr. Samuel Rogers—these are but a few of the celebrities who gallop their horses of mornings on the Bury Hills, and of afternoons up the Bunbury Mile or round the Limekiln s. Crossing the Thames, Epsom itself supplies a nest of what may be called—without offence — second rate trainers ; and one must go on to Lewes, where Lord St. Vincent's horses are trained by E. P arr , and where a base attempt to in j ure Lord Clifden by digging holes in the turf, has been discovered ; and then to W. Goater's at Findon, by Worthing , where in other days old John Day galloped Virago, for "Mr. Howard," before ono gets into the high places of the turf again. But travelling thence westwards to Hampshire and Wiltshire, a whole army of master trainers deploys into view, H. (loafer, whom Lord Palmerston himself deigns to employ, holds his place near Win c he s ter. John Day at Stockbri d g e, William Day towards Salisbury, re call sadly the days when the former stable won two Derbys running, and were first and third for another, and when the clerc, l a tt e r made havoc of C hester C ups, Cesarewitches, and the like. Passing Woolcot's, still nearer S a li s b ury, we go northwards wr to th e victories of Bead sman and Mus jid , an d l la liingclerc, where the lucky Sir Joseph hastt td of Asteroid, to th e care and attent i on of Manning. At Lambourne, Mr . Saxon's horses soete are neighbours of the great B assi _ y e string, from which that darling of the public, old Thormanby, sallied forth to win his Derby, and of which Buckatone still keeps up the good name. Ilsley in the e same n e i g hb ourhood, i s notor i ous for its good tur f, and i s now occupied for the dry weather by Lords Stamford and Strathmore. Pi antage is adorned by the present abiding of Mr. Thomas Parr and the past reminiscences of Fisherman and Rataplan. Near Marl borough A. Taylor has revived the old Teddington glories with St. Albans, and made the white legs of Lord Ailes bury's handsome chestnut notorious in shop windows. Pass ing still onwards along the Wiltshire downs (we had almost forgotten the Amer American stable at N ew b ury , w ith its nigger boys, an d orders given in a rich nasal), and l eav i n g the once-celebrated quarters of Stevens a t Chilt on to our right, we finally arriv e by Swindon and its few small men to the u lti nt a Thule of training in England, the stables at Beck hatupton, where Treen trained alike the winner of the first Metropolitan Handicap and the last Cesarewitch. Beyond, westwards, excepot at Ch . eltenham and one or two unheard f oases in Devon, all . is desolation, and the foot of the racellorse Odf resting-place.-41Lirror. THE ARMY.

The deceased, who was in his 85th year, entered the Royal Regis went of Artillery as Second Lieut. May 12, 1797, and became First Lieut. July 16, 1799. He served in Holland in 1799, and was made Capt. December PRICE..... -..4d. STAMPED ....sd. ~ 5, 1804, and Brevet Major June 4, 1814.

" Sir,—You are aware that I accompanied Mr. Rawlin son in the cltton manufacturing districts with a view to ascertain what public works of utility could be advan tageously carried out is these districts, and upon which the unemployed able-bodied male operatives could be set to work by corporations or other local authorities. I have now to report that we visited together the Loroughs of Ashton under-Lyne, Blackburn, Oldbam, Rochdale, and Stockprt; and to inform you that we were well received at each of those places by the authorities to whom I have alluded. Mr. Rawlinson will report to you the result of his mission ; but it aears to me that I can fu rnish y ou with some facts in connection p with the five boroughs we have visited, which will, I hope, be of some service to you.

" Amongst the unemployed men in the above-named boroughs there are many who are carpenters, masons, car • ters, and others, who are dependent on the cotton trade. I have to report that we shall next week inspect the bo roughs of Wigan, Staleybridge, Bolton, and Salford ; and on Saturday wo shall report the result of our work to you. —I have the honour to be, &c. "H. D. FARNALL, Special Commissioner." in - - Mr. Rawlinson, his report, deals with the sanitary wants of these and other towns, their resources, and the debts they have already incurred or are empowered to incur fur general improvements. He sums up with the following general observations : " So far as I have yet visited and inspected the diet reseed towns in Lancashire and Cheshire, I find work requiring to be done, able-bodied men out of work, and the local autho rities willing to consider the proposition of devising work for wages' for the willing workers amongst the distressed cotton operatives. Legal power and money are, however, required in many instances. The Local Government Act offers legal power at no cost; but there has been and now is a prejudice against this act. Deputations from Oldham and some other places have, however, visited Preston and Wigan to inquire as to the working of the act. and the replies being satisfactory some of this prejudice has been removed. Many of the public have entertained the notion that Government intended to set out large works and execute the same inde pendently of the local authorities. I have, in all cases, ex plained that all works undertaken must be devised, super intended, executed, and paid for by the several local autho rities. Objections have been taken to the proposed scheme of works, viz. That a time of general distress is not fa vourable to large expenditure on loeal works not directly productive. That the cotton operatives out of work cannot, with advantage, execute the proposed works. That neces sarily a large proportion of the money required must be paid to skilled labour other than distressed cotton opera. fives and for materials.' The reply is :—The able-bodied men, now out of work, must either bo maintained out of the poor rates, or by work in the towns. The present system will ruin the men, if persevered in over another year. Relief to able men is ever demoralising. The best of the distressed cotton operatives both can and will do a fair day's work for a fair day's wage. This I know by past and by present experience. I have questioned many of the men, and they are willing and anxious to work, Much of the money required will necessarily be expended on skilled labour and on materials. But within one month after commencing fairly to work, the best of the distressed cotton operatives will have become, in a degree, skilled labourers,' in excavating, in trenching, and in street and road forming. There are difficulties to be overcome, but most of these difficulties rest with the local authorities. But a vast amount of useful work may be beneficially un dertaken and be executed by the best of the distressed men out of employment. Largo numbers of cotton operatives ought not to be massed. The labour should be divided, and there should be practical men to lead and superintend. Wages should be paid in money and at short intervals. Any loss in the work in the first instance will be more than made up to the locality in a saving of the poor rate. have made arrangements for obtaining more detailed estimates of works which may be undertaken in the several towns. and have offered my services to (as far as possible) advise the local surveyor, in each case, as to works. I will report further as soon so practicable.—l have the honour to be, &c.. " ROBERT RAWLINSON."

In a few moments an unearthly shriek from the devoted messenger left no doubt on the minds of the people below that he had met with n l e t devil himself.

The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution ap proving a bill for incorporating a company to make a railway from the Sidmouth Railway, near Tipton, to Budlaigh Sllterton, and for other purposes. The bill contained clauses and provisions by which powers were proposed to be conferred on the Lon don and South-Western Company for leasing and working the line. The motion was seconded and carried unani mously. CENTRAL WALES. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Palace Hotel, Westminster, to consider a bill now pending in Parliament for the amalga mation of the Knighton and the Central Wales Railway Companies, and for authorising arrange ments between those companies, or either of them, and the London and North-Western Railway Com pany. A formal resolution approving the bill was adopted, CENTRAL WALES EXTENSION. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday ut the 'Westminster Palace Hotel, West minster, to consider a bill now pending in Parlia ment—Mr. W. F. Maitland in the chair. Mr. Swift, the solicitor, read the heads of a bil for enabling the Central Wales Extension Railway Company to raise additional capital, and to make working and other agreements with the London and North-W . "-"way Company. The bill authorised the company to raise £120,000 in lien of shares that had been forfeited, and to borrow in re spect thereof £40,000 on mortgage ; also to make arrangements with the London and North• Western Company for working the traffic, subject to the ap proval of the Board of Trade and three-fifths of the shareholders represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of the company specially convened for the purpose. On the motion of the Chairman, a formal resolu tion approving the bill was carried unanimously, NOVARA AND LAKE ORTA.

The terms of Messrs. Newall and Co. were that they would advance the sum of £34,000, taking in return first-class bonds f0ri28,400 at 20 per cent. discount, which would produce £22,720, and 18,000 second class bonds at 40 per cent. discount, producing £11,210. The company were to have the right to withdraw the bond, if they could raise the money on better terms before. Messrs. Ne wall advanced it. Messrs. Newall were to have an equal number of shares as those now issued by the company, which were 61,250 in number. Messrs Newall did not guarantee to complete the line for £34,000, but they believed that estimate would not be exceeded. There was no guarantee at present from the Italian Government, but he thought it highly probable that one would ultimately be given. He then moved " That the directors be authorised to sign an agreement with the Messrs. Newall on the terms stated." Mr. LEADER seconded the motion. Mr. WARD thought the terms proposed were most exorbitant, and would be detrimental to the in terest of the company. He moved, as an amend ment, " That the meeting stand adjourned for a fortnight, and that, in the meantime, the offer of Messrs. Newall be printed and circulated among the shareholders." Mr. SPRATT seconded the amendment. A long and angry discussion ensued, and on the amendment being put it was negatived, and the original motion was carried. _ _ A poll was demanded, when there appeared for the original motion 2,028 shares, representing 532 votes ; for the amendment 725 shares and 156 votes ; mejority for the original motion, 1,237 shares and 376 votes. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the Iroceedlngs. FATAL ENCOUNTER WITH A TIGRESS Mr. Harris, who was superintending the con struction of the Dehra and Roorke road, has been killed by a tigress. Being a keen, devil-may-care sportsman, he went out tigershooting on foot, some companions being on elephants with him. "Harris had not walked far, when, at the turn of a rock, he saw the monster he was in search of, under the shade of a large plant of the aloe species, with broad fleshy leaves of a dark green colour. He fired, and the wounded beast sprung on him, receiving the second ball midway, but it was totally ineffective in retarding her course. As the brute reached Harris he held the rifle in both his hands, and extended it horizontally between him and the tigress —a very o f flesh about tw iv i e c e e mrys t ot h ro e en s ize ep s Probable owbo whisk bi c a nl he slender protection indeed, for it was wrenched out of his grasp with the greatest ease. And now a hm t e e ar r n r a, i sw b ro l a e lipyo:isi s st t it r oo u nr g y. g . le ensued. Rising on her hind legs, her fore paws resting on Harris's shoulder she tried to knock him down ; but this was not an easy matter, as Harris stood firm as a rock, and it was not until the animal went on all fours and laid hold of his leg that he fell. It was at this time that he received his worst wound ; apiece man's fist was torn out of his thigh, laying bare the inner bone. The other leg was likewise completely smashed. Harris ca ll ed out, ' Shoot the tigress-- she is killing me.' From the time that the animal pounced upon him to the time that Harris's voice was heard, seeking aid, about a quarter of an hour had elapsed. If but one elephant had gone up to the spot, Harris might have been rescued in g moment. Some of the mounted sportsmen it seems ordered a native shekari, a powerful, athletic man, to go forward and shoot the tigress. The man hesitated, but, on being threatened, started on his perilous mission, approachin t g with the hard barrel across the head, He seized his rifle, t hmreetw the ca utiously, tigress s that it was difficult her intendedwhich had the frightened prhb ff hihago e i atesushntathti itseoedts nfht:hi ed n e pd madela aeuc exr i e n nas inducing her Wmtashepai co noise 0, 0 Hi as se a e n leas eSo d ar y t t o he ge t t ig t r o e t s h s e t w fr a o s m ve s r id y e lo t n o g ai g d r e a a s s s w a s i t they ey reference mustidh swayingav e twisted e those furnished e t b e e n only ele. there This, l however, indication of he be ' • had a clear view of what was going on.
