TOU RS AND NANTES RAI LWAY. Ag MACKENZIE, PATERSON, AND CO. REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. Your Directors have the satisfaction to announce the amalgama tion of eight principal Companies in competition for the lease of this Railway. Among these competitors, your Company occupied a proud posi tion. They not only presented a subscription list of the very first class, and comprising much that was calculated to inspire public confidence, but a dewit fund, amounting to 6,425,000 f., or more than double the caution-money required by the French Government. It is gratifying to your Directors that, by common consent, even mamongst their competitors, the first place was conceded to your Co- pany. In the actual state of the meney market, and in the present de pressed situation of railway property in general, your Directors deemed it prudent to prefer rather a fraction of a concession, obtained upon the very best terms, than to run the risk of a probably reckless competition, that could not fail to be ruinous to the Company who should obtain it. To arrive at a resnit se much to be desired, and to include in this arrangement all the bona fide competing Companies, your Directors made many successive sacrifices. They have succeeded in retaining one-fifth of the stock, and seven Directors (four french and three Euglisk) in the consolidated Company, viz.:— CAPITAL. Mackenzie, Patrson and Co. .. ••••• • • • • • Curretto and Drouillard and Co. ••••••.. • • • • • • Raigee,ourt and Co. .. ••••.. • • • • Lefevre and C 0............• • •• • O'Neill and Co. ••• • • • ••• • • • Delamarre and Co. ••• • • • • Masse Loire • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • - Francs. 8,000,000 6,000,000 5,000,000 5,000,000 5,000,000 5,000,0e0 4,500,000 1,500,000 40,000,000 Directors—Messrs. The Baron Sarget, Regent of the Bank of Bordeaux ; Edward. Caillard and Bagnieres, Directors of the Messe genies Generales of France; Monternault, ancien magistrat ; William Mackenzie and J. D. Barry, Resident Directors in Paris; and Richard Paterson as a member of the Board in London. The other members of the London Board are Mr. John Anderson, Mr. Bagshaw, and Captain Chamier, R.N. The competition of the " Postmasters' Company" did not in the least alter the determination of your Directors as to their bidding. They had made up their minds, whatever might be the number of competitor:, not to accept the lease of this railway unless for a term that could not fail to be highly remunerative to the Shareholders (considered only with respect to the actual traffic), in addition to the mathematical certainty of the repayment of the capital in the term of the lease, by the operation of a moderato sinking fund. Tho result of the adjudication is, a lease to the consolidated Com pany for a term of 34 years and 15 days, to be computed from the period of the opening ef the line to the public, throughout its entire length from Tours to Nantes. The maximum term fixed by the law relating to this railway was 35 years. As to the general conditions of the grant, it may suffice to say, , that they are precisely the same in every respect as these of the Or leans end Bordeaux Railway, except that in the case of the Tours and Nantes Railway the Company are bound to repay the Govern ment the actual cost of the land for the seat of the railway and its accessories. The Company will thus have to support only about one-half of the entire cost of an admirably constructed railway, stocked and appointed in the most efficient mann er. They will, consequently, have only one-half the capital on which to provi le a dividend, with the whole net revenue of the line applicable to that purpose. After the distribution of a return equal to eight per cent. per an num to the Shareholders, the Government is entitled to one-half o the surplus profits, but not until after the first five years of the open ing of the line throughout to Nantes, and not even then unless the aggregate profits ef the preceding years shall have been equal to six per cent. on the capital actually expended, plus a sinking fnnd. Your Directors would just observe, that acs nking fund of one and a half per cent., improved at four per cent. mpnd interest, (I. e., extinguishing a four per cent. stock, by paying off a certain number of Shares annually), will liquidate the whole capital of the Company in 33 years 46 days. There will then remain nearly ene year ef the lease unexpired, together with the value of the stock, materials. and at ores, to be repaid to tile Company by the Government, or the future lessees of the railway, within three months after the determination of the term of the lease. The revenue of the last year of the term, together with the amount t ount of the valuation of the stock and s tereo of the Company, will am to several millions of francs, which will be either distributed in the shape of a bonus to the ultimate Shareholders, or the annual sinking fund may he reduced to one and a quarter per cent. on the capital from the commencement, as the Directors may determine. Considered in all its bearings, and snore especially with respect to the strong presumption that the first lessees of tile French railways will be lessees in perpetuity, subject to a fine of some sort on renewal of the term, your Directors are led to believe that the grant of this railway, upon the terms upon which it has been obtained, will be one of the best, if not the very best railway property in France. The foregoing arrangements as to the distribution of the capital amongst the competing Companies will enable your Directors to give one share in the consolidated Company for every five of the reduced shares in this Company. Parties entitled to fractions ef shares may render them available by joining several together, and dividing whole shares afterwards, for which every possible facility will the be given. The rights of the Shareholders will be preserved intact, although they may have omitted to exchange their old receipts for new once In time for the late competition. The adjudication pronounced In favour of this Company, on Tues day, November 25th, was approved by Royal Ordinance, in the ofti• alai " Moniteur" of Friday, the 28th of the same month. Such is the favourable light in which this consolidated Company is viewed by the Government, that the Royal Ordinance approving the statutes of the Company, usually a work of some months, has been already obtained. The Company Is thus definitely and legally constituted a soci6te anonyme, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the number of shares of which he is the proprietor. The first duty of your Directors will be to return to the Share holders the excess of the deposits paid, after retaining Si. per share on the consolidated shares, at the same time to give a voucher for the number of shares to which each shareholder is entitled. This duty will he entered upon as soon as the necessary forms can be prepared and printed, on Friday, 12th of December. The Certificates of Shares in the names of the Proprietors will be issued as 80011 as they can be got ready. The statutes of this Com pany permit that the Shares may be transferred to barer, when 101. per Share shall have been paid up, after which no transfer will be required. The works of construction are in a great state of forwardness nearly throughout the whole line, but more especially so on the first and most important section, between Tours and Angers. No time will be lost in taking the requisite measures for bringing this highly pro ductive section into early active operation in connexion with the section of the Bordeaux Railway between- rleans and Tours. Finally, the capital is more than sufficient for the completion and stocking of the railway. Paris, December 6, 1845. P. a. Wiliam (for Ralph Bates, Esq.) I. S. ogle. Thomas Janice. R. C.

IRELAND, COUNTY of ANTRIM, One of the most improving and extensive Fee-simple Estates in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the country. IVit. %V. W. SINIPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro. prietor, and intends to offer for SALE by AUCTION, in the ensuing spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the Braid, and Kells ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the river Main and the Braid and Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable im. provements. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water power, there are many ex tensive bleach greens, beetling_ and corn mills, in the occupa tion of wealthy and respetrahla Manufacturers, atid several of the tenantry are engaged in or connected with the various branches of the linen trade ; the majority are Protestants, and in the highly.favoured province of Ulster are remarkable for their in dustry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are extensive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands abundantly stocked with game. The property is is the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast; the entire of the estates include a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Railway, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the property, as well as also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time be obtained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Mer rion.square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 16, Bucklersbury. . , Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times" newspaper made the following review : W. W. Simpson, the well.known and deservedly re spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'" The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:.--" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in mat ters re'ating to the improvement and value of land in his own coun try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any man iu his time to improve her resources, by encouraging the in. vestment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His tes timony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably un impeachable." LOW ESTOFT, SUFFOLK. BREWERY, INNS, PUBLIC AND BEER HOUSES.

BISHOPSGATE-STREET, IN THE CITY OF LONDON. To HOTEL and TAVERN-KEEPERS, SPECULATORS, and SMITHFIELD CATTLE CLUB. EXHIBITION OF STOCK. On Tuesday we were favoured with a private view of the stock exhibited yesterday to the public at the Smithfield Cattle Club in Baker-street. Within the last few years the Smithfield Club has certainly ac quired a standing which it had at no former period of its existence ; the cattle shows have, indeed, attracted sufficient attention, and commanded animals from indi viduals celebrated for their breeding and feeding talents, to rank it with many of longer standing in the country. Last year's show was certainly the finest, both in point of number and quality of animals exhibited, and it is no blame to the managers of the club that the exhibition this year is inferior in both respects. The number of horned cattle is not at all equal to what it was last year. There are certainly some very fine animals, well shaped and well fed, which cannot but strike any agriculturist, and there are some which we think might have fairly been classed amongst the extra stock which are here placed along with the prizes. The sheep are as numerous as last year, and in ap pearance very fine. No particular pen, however, struck us at all worthy of special remark. The Southdowns are numerous and good, equally so the Leicester and cross breeds. The swinish de partment of the exhibition contains the usual amount of grunting obesity, anything but attractive to the general observer, however pleasing they may have been to the breeders and the judges. The machine-room not being lighted up, and, as we understood, several of the impletrents not being properly fitted, we had no opportunity of judging either of their novelty or inge nuity. So far as we could see there was no machine ex hibited with the general principles of which we were not previously acquainted. It would be invidious of us to select any names for remark other than those mentioned in the list of prizes ; indeed, there can be but one opinion that the judges roost admirably performed their duties. The short horned ox of Prince Albert is a fine animal, and does much credit to the feeder. Several specimens from the stock of the late Earl Spencer attracted attention, but were not entered for competition. Several well-known names as breeders and feeders we noticed ; amongst others the Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Exeter, the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Leicester, the Hon. Mr. Nugent, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, &c. From the excellent arrangements which have been made' the exhibition is certainly much more pleasing this year than last, and the animals seen to greater ad vantage. There is no crowding of the beasts, and ample room is left for traversing from one end of the show to the other. We subjoin the list of prizes as awarded by the judges : OXEN OR STEERS. Class L—Oxen or steers, of any breed, under 5 years old, without restrictions as to feeding, yet the kind or kinds of food must be certified. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, of Windsor Castle, a 3 years and 10 months old short-horned ox, bred by the late Lord Huntingfield, and fed on cake, turnips, tares, hay, meal, and potatoes. Travelled to the show by van 22 miles.— Third prize of UM Mr. John Davies, of Warden, near Biggleswade, Bedford. shire, a 3 years and months old improved short-horned steer, bred by himself, and fed on grass, hay, oil-cake, Swe dish turnips, and cabbage. Travelled to the show by van 45 miles.—Commended. The Most Noble the Marquis of Exeter, of Burghley, near Stamford, Northampton, a 2 years and 11 months old Durham ox, bred by his Lordship, and fed on grass, hay, Swedish tur nips, oil-cake, bean-meal, and linseed oil. Travelled to the show by van 89 miles.—Highly commended. Mr. hobert Martin Layton, of Thorney Abbey, near Peter borough, Cambridge, a 4 years and 8 months old Hereford ox, bred by Mr. Paul Prosser, of Garway Court, near Monmouth, Hereford, and fed on hay, green clover, Swedish turnips, car rots, and linseed-cake. Travelled to the show on foot 2 miles, by van 60 miles, and by railway 98 miles.—First prize 20?. and silver medal and gold medal.

T. BRANDRETH GIBBS, Hon. Sec. THE CORN-LAWS.THE AMERICAN ;MINISTER.---' The Secretary of the Legation to the United States, . has written a l etterto illornmg the Ganes i vo i o i s , t d reference to an article which appeared in that journal neul on the Bth December, in which it is stated that the erican Minister has been charged with misinforming the Times on the subject of the intentions of the British Cabinet as to the corn-laws, for the purpose of sending out to the United States fabricated news that might influence the deci sion of the tariff question. It appears that Mr. M`Lane left London for Paris on the 3d inst., but Mr. Melville, in the ab sence of Mr. M'Lane, without communication with him, and on his (Mr. Melville's) own responsibility, denies, explicitly, fully, and without reserve, each and every imputation con tained in that article, and brands them with falsehood from first to last. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11/- per mine, whi c h, a t th e E ng li s h Mi n t price of 3/. 1 7 s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 44; and th e exc h ange a t P ar i s on L on do n at short being 25 571, it follows that gold is 0.53 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. BY advices from llamburgh the price of gold is 433 5 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9i ; and the exchange at llamburgh on London at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Tuesday a Court of Common Council was held (pur suant to adjournment from Thursday last) for the dis patch of business. It will be remembered that, at the last meeting of the Court, a discussion arose on the question of affixing the hospital seals to certain docquets returned te the Court in the regular course through the City Chamberlain; and the Court was adjourned on that discussion to yesterday, in order to afford time for coun sel's opinion to be taken on the point at issue. The Lord Mayor entered the Council Chamber, and took the chair precisely at one o'clock, when The TOWN CLERK proceeded to read the docquets in question. Mr. LOTT rose and claimed the attention of the Court for a few moments. lie begged to state that the Committee, of which he had the honour of being chair man, anal to which this question has been referred, had sat and given the closest and most careful consideration to this most important subject. Time had not allowed the Committee to prepare a formal report, but he would, with the permission of the Court, take the liberty of reading a resolution which had been adopted by the Committee. It was as follows :—" The Committee re commend to the Court that, under the special circum stances of the case, the fixing the seals to the docquets in question be delayed for the present, the Committee not having yet received a satisfactory legal opinion on the question." Under such circumstances he hoped the sub ject would be deferred, and the Court would now pro ceed with the other business of the day. The LORD Msvoa intimated that the sealing could not, accordi ng t o t h e prov i s i ons o f t h e Act of Parlia ment, be postponed. The RECORDER expressed a hope that the Court would forgive him it he reminded them that its inte rests might be materially involved, and its cause much damaged, if a certain course were not pursued in refe rence to this very important matter. Mr. PRENDEROAST rose to order. The Court had delegated an authority to the Committee to obtain certain legal opinions, and having so obtained them, to make such a report as to them should deem fit. lie (Mr. Prendergast) objected to one of the counsel who might have been consulted, now getting up to state that which ought to come from the Committee itself. Mr. LI I MBERT JONES submitted that the last speaker was himself out of order. 'T he motion before the Court was, that the seal be affixed to the documents, and he begged to ask the Recorder whether he had not been in consultation with the Attorney and Solicitor-General on the subject, and whether they did not agree that, under all the circumstances, the seal ought t o be affixed with out prejudice to the matter at issue. The LORD MAYOR said he must prevent Mr. Prender gast from entering into an argument upon the question when speaking to order. As this was a legal matter, he (the Lord Mayor) should act on the advice given to him by the Recorder. Mr. LAWRENCE thought the Chairman of the Com mittee should go further than the verbal report he had just made, and should state to the Court what was the nature of the legal opinions which the Committee had received. It was for the Court, and not for the Com mittee to decide, what was or what was not a satisfac tory legal opinion. The LORD MAYOR said he should rather ask the Re corder for his opinion on the subject. The Recorder had been consulted by the Committee, and on his opinion he (the Lord Mayor) should act. The RECORDER stated that, under the bye-laws, the opinions of the Recorder and the Common Sergeant were ordered to be taken, together with those of other counsel, on all legal matters relating to the Corporation, and therefore it was iu his capacity of Recorder, and not as counsel, that he had been consulted. In consequence of what passed at the last Court, the City Solicitor had furnished counsel as well as him (the Recorder) with further questions on the point which appeared to the City Solicitor to demand an immediate reply. Those questions had been considered, and he (the Recorder) now waited the commands of the Lord Mayor and of this Court to state the opinions of counsel on the questions and case which he now held in his hand. After some further discussion on this point, Mr. Alderman Hucuas submitted, that as counsel's opinion had been taken, it was too much to say that it should be withheld from the Court. He therefore re peated his amendment that the opinions be now read. Mr. LAWRENCE seconded the amendment. Mr. LOTT requested the case submitted to counsel might be read, as well as the opinions founded upon it. The LORD Dieroa said most certainly. Both ought to be read. The RECORDER said the Court would, perhaps, permit him to observe, that although he was aware that it was ready and willing to give the utmost publicity to its pro ceedings, still it would be somewhat too much to ex 1a that they should promulgate the opinions of th e i r 44ttsel in the presence of their antsginists. lie there fore,. submitted for the consideration of the Court, whether, as a matter of prudence, the Court ought not to be cleared ? Mr. HARRISON—I observe strangers present. On this strangers were ordered to withdraw, and this Court remairvd in discussion with closed doors for up wards of an hour and a quarter. We understand that after reading the opinion of Counsel, which was to the effect that the question at issue believed the Corporation and Christ's Hoipital would not be prejudiced by the affixing the :seals to the documents already before the Court, a motion was made that " the seals be now aifixA." On this motion a division took place, when the wirnhers appeared—For the motion, 57 ; against it, 26. Majority, 31. The Court was then re-opened to the public.

The CHAMBERLAIN said a circumstance had recently occurred which he had menti,ned to the Lord Mayor, and which his Lordship thought that he (the Chamber lain) ought to bring under the notice of the Court. It appeared that an action had been brought in the Lord Mayor's Court in his (the Chamberlain's) name against a carman, to recover a penalty of 5/. for pursuing his calling within the City without being duly licensed. fie (the Chamberlain) had investigated the case, and had found that no blame whatever was attached to any per son in that particular transacticn, for that a custom prevailed in the Lord Mayor's Court by which any com mon informer could sue for penalties in the name of the Chamberlain, without his leave, license, or authority. It had occurred to him that such a state of things, if they were not put a stop to, ought at least to be in quired into, and with deference, he would suggest, that this, his communication, should be referred to the Com mittee for General Purposes, for them to inquire into and report upon the same, and thereby relieve him of a very great responsibility.—(Hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. D. W. WIRE, seconded by Mr. R. TAYLOR, the motion was referred to the Committee for General Purposes. CrTY ALTERATIONS.-CLERK OF THZ WORKS. Mr. R. TAYLOR drew the attention of the Court to the resolution passed in 1837, requiring the Clerk of the Works to report to the first Court held after the 25th of March to 29th of September, in each year, the return, if any, of works performed at the Mansion-house, Guildhall, the City Prison, with the expenses thereof ; and, se condly, that no alterations or repairs ibe undertaken by the Clerk of the Works, until an estimate of the ex penses thereof had been reported to, and sanctioned by, this Court. Notwithstanding these orders, certain alte rations were now proceeding, at a cost, he understood, of between 3,000/. and 4,0001., on the Giltspur-street Compter, without any estimate having been reported to, or sanctioned by, the Court of Common Council. The outlay was the more surprising, because the Court of Aldermen had already reported that the Giltspur-street Compter was unfit for a correctional prison. Under these circumstances, he now moved that the Clerk of the Works be called up and interrogated as to the authority under which he was proceeding. Mr. HARRISON seconded the motion, and after some conversation the Clerk of the Works appeared at the table, and in answer to questions put by Mr. Taylor, and other members of the Court, stated that he had pro. ceeded with the works at the Compter under the autho rity of the Court of Aldermen, and that the expenditure thereon would be reported to the Court in his annual reports. After some further conversation, Mr. R. Taylor ex pressed his intention to bring the subject under the con sideration of the next Court, and the matter dropped for the present. QUALIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE COURT. Mr. EDKINS brought up the report of a Committee to whom had been referred the consideration of the resolu tion of the Court passed the 14th of January, 1716, as to the qualification of members of the Court, and to re port in what way the resolution could be altered and amended. The report stated that the resolution in question provided that no person should be capable of tilling the office of Common Councilman who at the time of his election was not a householder within the ward for which he was chosen. The charter of Edward 111. em powered the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty, to pro vile a remedy for every custom or usa g e of ther City that might in practice be found to be defective. The report went on to state; that no doubt existed as to the true de finition of the term "householder." The Committee were of opinion that a declaratory Bill removing such doubts, and stating that by the laws, usages, and customs of the City, every freeman occupying a ho use , summon able on juries , arid paying scot and bearing lot, should he eligible to the office of Com mon C ounc il man, b e b r ought in to this Court. Mr. Edkins concluded by moving, " That the Court do agree with the Committee in their report." Mr. ANDERTON hoped that the Bill would be brought in without delay, and come in force before next St. Thomas'-day. Mr. R. TAYLOR suggested that it would be better to refer the matter back to the Committee, with instructions to prepare and bring in the Bill. Mr. DE JERSEY said the subject was too important to be hurried over in a post-haste manner. The report ought to be printed, and its further consideration ad journed. Mr. Enaris said, as it would be impossible to pre pare the Bill before St. Thomas'-day, he would acquiesce in Mr. De Jersey's suggestion. The report was accordingly ordered to be printed and sent to every member of the Court, and its further con sideration was adjourned. The election of an under-beadle for the coal-market was proceeded with. For the office there were three candidates, but the choice fell on Mr. Joseph Stacey by a large majority. Some routine business was then disposed of, and the Court adjourned. OF I R ON IN DIScoVERY W .—A seam in Newcastle, a t st a i r . ------'--- ESTMORELAND of iron ore, about seven y ards in thickness, has been dis covered,more Fells, Westmoreland. The deep rocky channel i n by an influential company w hich it was found, extends along a ridge of mo un t a i n s east ward for some miles. The quality of the ore has been tested, and proved to be of the most ductile description. A stratum of hard limestone rock, nearly five feet thick, lays between the soil and the ore. The projected York and Carlisle and Lancaster and Newcastle lines both pass within a very short distance.— Carlisle Journal.
