The negotiations recently conducted by the Board, con jointly with the committee of shareholders appointed at the Extraordinary Meeting of December 2, with the ob ject of effecting—in union with the Anglo-American Telegraph Company's Board—a general amalgamation of all interests, thereby simplifying the management and securing economy and efficiency, have been unsuccessful. These negotiations have, however, still further im-. pressed the Board and the Committee with the great im portance of united management, and they have therefore unanimously decided upon the immediate issue of a new thepreferential Atlantic capitalelegarta Telegraph hO Companyper ccnt to recover possession - per annum, to enable and management of their two submarine cables. This will relieve the shareholders from a charge of £125,000 now payable in each year to the Anglo-Ame rican Company before the Atlantic Stock becomes en titled to interest of any kind. It will also extinguish the further right, at present pos sessed by the Anglo-American Company, to retain as an additional profit one-half of any surplus that may remain in each year, after deducting from revenue their own dividend of £125,000 and paying a subsequent £72,000 to the Atlantic shareholders. The average receipts during the whole of the first financial year, ending July 27, 1867, amounted to £915 per day. During the dye months of the present financial year, ending December 31 (the dullest portion of the year), th e daily gross average receipts have been £963, as compared with £BO5 por day received during the corresponding five months ending December, 1866. Since the reduction of tariff on the Ist of December last, the average from that day to the 31st of that month has been £1,070 per day, as compared with an average of £BOB per day during the month of December, 1866. This is an increase of over £260 per day, or at the rate of £95,000 por annum, irrespective of the result that may be anticipated when commerce and speculation resuale their usual activity. The Board therefore now propose to issue a ca p ital of £1,300,000, in shares of £5 each to be entitled to !I. pre ferential dividend of 10 per cen t. per annum , accruing in each year, immediately after th e su m of £51, 348 has been paid to the existing 8 per cent. p re f e rence stocks. With this capital all debentures still outstanding will ex ti n guished, as provided in be paid off, all the rights a n d i v ileges of the A ngle- Amtrican Company will be the agreement between th e t wo C om panies, and the At lantic Telegraph Company will assume the management of its own property. The revenue remaining to the credit of the Company at the end of the first financial year on the 27 th o f Jul y last, e after deducting all payments to the New Yo rk and New foundland Company and o th or companies, was £205,000, and the Board are fully ju s tifi e d i n e xpecting of the present financial yea r w ill s h ow returns increased to at least £265,000. that the end A revenue of that amount would show the following re sult upon the capital now proposed : * Eight per cent. on £641,845 preference stocks now existing ................................. £51,348 Ten per-cent. on the now issue ..... . :£1 300,000 now offered. ........................ . ...... : .......... 130,000 Four per cent.. on the old stock, Y 617,750 ...... 24,710 Expenses (mortgages being cancelled by new capital) ................................................ 20/000 £226,058 leaving a surplus of over £38,942 applicable to a fund for reserve or for increa s i ng di vidend.

With a revival of trade a very large increase may be expected to take place in the receipts. The whole of the present business caa be performed by a few hours' daily working of one cable only, thus leaving a very large mar gin of working capacity to meet the requirements of in creasing traffic. This - margin would enable tho present Company to re gard without apprehension the possible chance of their having eventually to encounter competition, and the pos session of two cables will confer upon this undertaking a stability which no new company could obt a in e xce pt a ft er equal, or possibly (in of the same excel laceanlsoceneog.f t r i e m v e e s a e n s e a v t en a gr o m os te t rn, cablesnearly equal, The experience of two years and a half with the cable of 1865, and of eighteen months with that of 1866, has established the durability of cables in deep water, and also that such damage as may accidentally occur to them can be easily repaired. The Directors appeal to the above considerations in jus tification of their belief that the capital they now seek to raise will rest upon a secure basis. A meeting of , the Shareholders will be held on Friday, the 24th inst., to confirm these arrangements, and on other bu clues s.

RAILWAY AND 07HER COMPANIES. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. A meeting of the debenture holders of this com pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. E. L. J. Ridsdale in the chair. Mr. Huxley, the hon. secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an ab stract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said that the debenture-holders' committee was appointed by the meeting held on the 21st of Nov. last, to obtain counsel's opinion on the question of the priority of debentures ; to con fer with the committee of administration, and en deavour to arrive at a solution of that question. Previous to the meeting of the 21st of Novem ber last the committee of administration had not thought it necessary to submit any case for the opinion of counsel on this question, which was so important to the debenture-holders. He thought that a question of such magnitude as the priority of £2,800,000 debenture debt over nearly £4,000,000 of consolidated mortgage bonds was one that a committee of administration professing to represent the interests of all creditors shoull have solved, before inviting creditors representin g so large an amount to sanction a plan which would in effect have swept away a large amount of their claims. He then referred in detail to the opinions of the Hon. J. S. Black (late Attorney -General of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania), the Hon. Mr. Wigfall, and Judge Thompson, as to the priority of the certificates of de benture over the consolidated mortgage bonds. The committee had submitted a case hurriedly drawn up to Mr. H. Lloyd, and his opinion was against them ; but in the case suhmitted none of the facts material to their case had been laid before Mr. Lloyd. He would have been exceedingly glad to have published both cases, but he did not wish to increase the ex pense. He would, however, be happy to print and circulate the two cases if desired. He thought the committee of administration had not acted fairly towards the debenture-holders in the matter. The committee of debenture-holders had taken the very best opinions they could get from American lawyers. The debenture -holders had over and above the value of the collateral securities deposited in the Bank of England on equitable lien for the balance of their claim on the property of the three old companies, subject only to the prior liens of those companies. It was necessary that the collaterals should be sold to determine the amount of the lien. The collaterals could be sold, and the debenture-holders might purchase them, and this would be strictly in accordance with the deed of trust. There had been a rise in the price of debentures within the last few days, which, he thought, could not have arisen from two new directors being elected to the Board, as the company's road was still in the hands of the receiver. The debentures were sold at 20 before the committee was appointed, and the price now was 25 ; and he thought, therefore, that the public had some confidence in the report of the committee, and that the report was an honest one. Ile then adverted to the small holding of the com mittee of administration in the debentures of the company, being about £l,BOO. The committee thought they should endeavour to stop the proceed ings in Chancery, because those proceedings were inimical to thedebenture holders. Since the appoint ment of the committee Mr. Lawes, of Rothampstead, one of the largest holders of certificates of deben ture, had joined the association. With regard to future prospects, he thought the position of deben ture holders with regard to the railroad was much better than any of them anticipated. In respect to the committee of four members, he mentioned that IMr. Copland wished to retire, as ho lived too far away, and they proposed to elect Mr. Lawes, who held about £90,000 of certificates of debentures, to fill his place. The other members of the committee held largely, and it was therefore not likely they would do anything to injure the interests of the de benture-holders. (Hear, hear.) A meeting of de benture-holders at Leeds had passed a resolution in support of the committee, and offered them proxies representing a large amount of debentures to carry any measure they deemed expedient. He concluded by moving the first resolution, to the effect that the report be approved and adopted, requesting the com mittee to continue their labours, with power to add to their number. Major GORDON seconded the motion. Mr. TIIORPE said it was most important they should be represented in the American Courts of the States through which their line passed. He was convinced that the railway would become a good property, as it passed through many miles of coalfield, near oil springs, and other places of com mercial importance. He asked them to place con fidence in Mr. Ridsdale, the chairman, and in the committee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CoWArt o w he thought it unfortunate that PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. th e fa. its of their case were not laid before Mr. Lloyd in the first in s t ance , f or if th ey h a d h o wou ld %aye given a very different opinion as to their rights. He then went into the case at some length, stating that they were at least the holders of an I 0' U, but they must register their claim as soon as passible in the American Courts, in order to place tb ernselves in a proper and legal position to enforce'; heir rights. After soane observations by Mr. Wallace, Mr. Martin, ill r. Saville, and Mr. Hall, the first resolu tion was carried unanimously. The C.a. - kunf AN moved the second resolution, authorising the committee to take all such steps and make all such arrangements as they might consider best calealated to establish the rights and priorities of the certificates of debenture with a view to facili tate the adjustment of the affairs of the company on a basis consistent with the relative position of the several classes of securities. Mr. HAWKINS seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. In reply to a question, it was stated that the four members of the committee—viz., Mr. Lawes held £85,000 debentures, Mr. Ridsdale £6,000, Mr. Wallace £7,000, and Mr. Gordon £lO,OOO, together £lOB,OOO of debentures, and that they did not hold any consolidated bonds. (Hear, hear.) _ _ The third resolution, which was carried unani mously, authorised the committee to take steps as they might be advised with reference to the suit in Chancery of " Russell v. Gurney," with the view of protecting the bona fide interests of the debenture shareholders. Mr. HAwKiss moved that the cordial thanks of the meeting be offered to the committee for the great ability they had shown, and the labour and research they had bestowed in investigating the position and rights of the holders of the certificates of debentures in the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company.—Carried unanimously. 4 ..-%.2 MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY UNITED. The traffic returns on this company's line, 17 miles in length, for the five weeks ending the 21st Nov. last, amounted—for passengers, &c., to £7,778, and for goods, &c., to £3,432—t0ta1, £11,210, against £12,653 for the corresponding five weeks in 1866, showing a decrease of £1,443. BIRMINGHAM FINANCIAL (LIMITED). The directors of this company, in their fourth annual report, state that, notwithstanding the un. favourable current of events, the prosperity of the company remains unimpaired, and that the result of the year's operations is, after payment of interest to depositors, writing off bad and making provision for doubtful debts, an available balance of £11,418 ; and, after discharging current expenses, reducing preliminary expenses by £250, and carrying forward £1,729, being rebate of interest, the balance of pro fit is £7,213. The directors recommend the decla ration of a dividend at the rate of £lO per cent., which will absorb £6,057, leaving a balance of £1,156 to be carried forward, from which it is pro posed to transfer £l,OOO to the reserve fund, thus increasing that fund to £12,000. The directors state that, after protracted negotiations and the most careful consideration, they have agreed to purchase on advantageous terms the assets and business of the Midland Financial Company, which will be completed as soon as the transaction has been legally ratified by the shareholders of that company. 11.1 h PUBLIC,' HEALTH. The return of the Registrar-General states that in th!, week ending Saturday, January 11, 4,395 births and 3,454 deathswere registered in London and in thirteen other largo towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 28 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 26 per 1,000 in London, 25 in Edinburgh, and 32 in Dublin ; 24 in Bristol, 28 in Birmingham, 33 in Liverpool, 35 in Manchester, 30 in Salford, 22 in Shdlield, 29 in Bradford, 29 in Leeds', 30 in Hull, 25 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 33in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 29 per 1,000 during the week ending the 4th inst., when the mean ten Rcrature was S - 3 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 27. In London the births of 1,053 boys, and 1,079 girls, in all 2,132 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1858-67, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,152. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,574. It was the second week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,799. The deaths in the present return are less by 225 than the esti mated number. Two hundred and seventy-three deaths occurred from zymotic diseases, the corrected average num ber being 364. Eleven deaths were caused by small-Poxe 48 by measles, 49 by scarlatina, 49 by whooping-cough, 25 typhus, and 22 by diarrhcca. One hundred and eighty. seven deaths from phthisis, 294 from bronchitis, 91 frem Pneumonia, and 81 from diseases of the heart were regis tered last week. THE DISMISSAL OF VOLUNTEER OFFICERS.—An explanation of the late cashiering of fourteen mutinous officers in the 48th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers has been furnished by " One who knows the facts." The writer says that there has existed for some time in the corps a combination of a very objectionable character, headed by an officer who hoped to supply Lieutenant-Colonel Cruik shank's place. Under the influence of this cabal the com manding officer was insulted. He was ready to resign if he was refunded certain moneys he had advanced, but this the junior officers refused. Lieutenant-Colonel Cruik shank placed the matter in the hands of the authorities, And all who signed the memorial were cashiered. The Commanding officer interceded for some of them without avail, and found that he could not recommend them again, as they were incapable of ever again holding a commission in her Majesty's service. It is said that there will be no difficulty in replacing the officers. A marriage will shortly take place between Colonel Towneley and the Hon. Mrs. Stonor, widow of the Hon. Thomas Stonor.

Alluding to Penianism, he shelved that the men hanged at Manchester were hanged, nit for Fenianisni, but for the murder of a policeman, and that the charge against the person in his custody did not at all affect the nature of their crime ; for that . if lie bad been an Orangeman, and his friends had in I:1;e manner :iiiied the constable, they would have been tried and condemned, not a,s Orans-cmen, but as murderers. Having referred to the Clerkenwell atrocity., he shewed that while all loyal citizens and bene volent persons must execrate such an act, justice and sound policy required, not that we should ignore the complainti of those who promoted these outrages, but that we should diligently investigate the causes of Irish discontent, and that all political parties should unite to remove every real grievance. As a Protestant, he felt ashamed that his religion should he endowed as the national faith of a country where nine out of every ten regarded it as heresy and supported another Church. Referring to Popery, he said that the danger was not in Rome, but within the camp of professed Protestantism—that if any number of persons preferred candles and crosses and gorgeous vest ments, no one had a right to disturb them ; only they should pay for their own arrangements, and not teach and practise what was contrary to the system under which they sought shelter. The best way to meet error was not by persecution, but by argument and persuasion. Meanwhile they who lived the hest lives and did the most kood would riceive and deserve the greatest amount of general accept ttiacq and respect. True Protestantism Was the personal Anion of every Christian with clod by faith, through the one and only Mediator ; the equal right of all men to worship and to work for Him as " - priests unto God;" and the recognition as brethren and fellow members of the holy Catholic Church of all who . served Christ with honest hearts, however they might differ in outward forms and OrganLations.—These sentiments were received throughout by the working men present with hearty applause. UUR RURAL POPULATION. The infra of iseries of lectures given tinder the auspicss Of the Reform League, in, furtherance of the political edu• *ion of the people, was delivered in St. James 4 B H a ll last evening, by Professor Fawcett, M.P.—Subject. " The Future of Our Rural Population." The chair was taken by Mr. Beale!, iterorm League. Professor FAwcxrr, who was received with loud eheeni, commenced his lecture by remarking that the wealth of a huooagfft Thehtt hw t heee t oa wealth ttnehutagiellwl wealth English snehsdotodpifumi distributed rather i t pe e lboe l uNcw_toe eir4:t whichtaonowb bm y ltyuh t zei ll su: tiastemdecudiaiens amongtn cumulativeoemr coughei whic h td n o e a rb t a i o tai n os amount. t nt 6 the lower classes of society. Taking the case of any ordi= nary agricultural district, ft must be evident that a labourer whose wages amounted to 10s. a week must, at a time like the present, when bread was ls. sd. the 81b. loafs be in a fitate of semi -starvation, while his children had their minds ruined by preralture work, and their lives blaited by the blight of ignorance. As the sub. jeot of his lecture was the future of the rural popu lation it was unnecessary to go at length into their past history. One of the main features presented by a cursory review of that past was the fact that it had widened throughout an undue preponderance of power on the part of the owners of the soil, and, as the late Mr. Cobden had once said to him in allusion to this topic, " A great battle has been fought already, but one is left behind which will require perhaps greater efforts, and that will be the endeavour to secure free trade in land." (Cheers.) Looking abroad, a great part of the soil, both in America and on the Continent, was cultivated by peasant proprietors, and the people were contented and happy, because of the interest they thus acquired in the soil ; but this interest was wanting aim elgst those who cultivated the soil of Great Britain. The yeomen of Eng. land, who achieved such great results in the past history of the country, upon whom Elizabeth had relied for re. sistance to the projected Spanish invasion, and from whom Oliver Cromwell had derived his main support, had been swept away, and the old common rights were also fast disappearing with the absorption of the common lands. The present system of the aggregation of land in England was fostered by the law of primogeniture, which asserted the justice of leaving the whole of a man's property in land to his eldest son, even in the event of the younger children being beggared. The effect of this, altlioneh probably not very powerful directly, had considerable influence in an indirect manner, and it was to be hoped that a reformed Parliament would demand an altera tion of the law of primogeniture. Another law, the law of entail, gave to lauded proprietors the power of settling estates on unborn children, the result of which was that the estates so settled were for many years destroyed as a marketable commodity. This tended to diminish the quantity of saleable land, and consequently created a monopoly price with regard to what remained, while it, also prevented improvements from being carried out upon the soil. Another circumstance which likewise tended to place a monopoly price upon land—the effect of this monopoly price being to prevent the cultivation of the land—was the fact that hitherto great political influence had been associated with the ownership of the soil. It was thought in some quarters that there would be a dearth of political cries for the ensuing general election, but he would suggest that if the abolition of the law of primo geniture was not sufficient, they might also demand house hold suffrage for the counties as well as for the boroughs. It might be that this would confer votes on a number of agricultural labourers, and that at first those labourers might be subjected to something like undue influence, but he had great faith in the educational power of the fran. chise, and did not see why the agricultural labourer , should be completely ostracised and cut off fro m al l poli tical power in the country. He should like to hear from the representatives of the farmers and the labourers what they thought of the game laws—what they thought of the extension of a law which gave a few distinguished personages the power of enjoying a mighty slaughter of half-tame pheasants. (Laughter.) It should be remem bered that the men who possessed these privileges were the men who were appointed by an irrespon, sible authority to the magistracy,' in which capacity they administered the law and controlled the finances of the counties in which they acted. Those magistrates were not chosen from among the ablest and best educated men in the counties, and he knew it as a fact that the most stupid and ignorant youth who was ever plucked at college would, if he became the owner of a landed estate, be made a magistrate.' (Hear, hear.) When popular rights come to be Conferred on the counties, these and other anomalies would, he was convinced, speedily vanish, and the country Would be happier and more prosperous in consequence. legislat i n a g nd fo i r t n s id eLe d education, in e behoved the country to watch w ell the kind of education t O h n e future of the grant of rural t population be c° that would be hereafter attempted fur the agricultural labourer. During the past session the principle of the Fac tory Acts had been extended to every industry except that o? agriculture. Of course this exceptional state of things could not long exist, and it would be necessary to see that in the system of education which might be adopted care ,:hould be taken that no children under 13 years of age should be employed unless they attended a school so many hours a week. (Cheers.) Mr. Fawcett went on to advocate the desirableness of establishing between farmers and their labourers a sort of co-partnership, under w hich farmers would say to their men, " After we have obtained a certain fair rate of profit on our capital, the surplus profits stall be divided between us and you." (Cheers.) If this system were adopted, he believed the labourers would be united to their employers by the strong bond of pecuniary interest, and their energies so power fully stimulated that the employers would confess they: had embarked in the best speculation they had ever mad& in their lives. By and by, when this principle had made progress, the co-operative principle might be resorted to, so ,that a certain number of men might unite in the culti vation of extensive farms. Another point on which he was desiroui of insisting was the establishment of a compulsory system of education, which he should only vote for on con-, dition that it was coupled with power to compel the attendance of neglected children at school. It might he that such a system would lead to the imposition of a cer tain amount of taxation, but there could be little doubt that the ultimate result would'be to strike a heavy blow at crime and pauperism, which were the chief sources of co untry. -1 a vote of thanks a large proportion of the rates now levied throughout the Mr. C.
