The s amp duty Om every share certificate is 314
at 1 per cent. on the nominal capital. Any
contravention of this law (if passed) will be
punished by a forfeiture of six per cent. on the
amount of the bill or share. This measure also pro-
poses to render it compulsory to draw up all policies
of insurance, as also any subsequent agreement or

of a fine of 60f., which wall be imputed upon the is-

We very recently alluded to the projected plan of
ewes tramhig a r ilway from the city of Adelaide to
the Port, Via desirableness end advantages of which
epee see at, that two distinct companies had
bees ihemM, the one in this country, the other in
Adelaide, to carry out that ob ect, and we expressed
oar fears that the undertaking might be paralysed,
we perhaps altogether fall to the ground,
by the opposition engendered by two rival
interests, in their endeavours to accomplish
the sane object. According to the last act entre re-
lesived from Adelaide, it is gratifying to learn that
whatever difficulties might at first I ave been sup-
posed to exist in reference to the proposed junction
ef the London Company with the oummitt • of the
Adelaide Railway Compary—these difficulties, by
mutual and prudent concessions, were likely to be
speedily and satisfactorily removed. The age Me of the
farmer company had arrived in Adelaide, and a come-

mutual interest to unite, that all that then remelted
to be dose was the adjustment of the preliminaries,
Wash the next aooount fr. m thence will no doubt
be* us. If one-fifth of the capital, say about
50,0001., is to be absolutely reserved tor the colonists
to subscribe, and they are to base a share in the ma-

more is to be desired, and this we understand will be

upon them paid up; but these could eesily be cancelled
or converted into 201. shares of the London Company.
An application, we uncle' rand, will be made to the
Legislative Council for anthill its, to take such pre-
limuiary steps as may be required with a view
to active operations as soon as the wit ter has
' closed, and it is to be hoped that the joint efforts of
both parties wile be dire ted towards hastening for-
ward what is generally believed will be for the
common good. It is not only a deeirab'e acquisition
to the oommercial fecilities of the place; but under
economical and judicious management, it holds out
every prospect of becoming a profitable ucdertakiog
for the shareholders, as well as a lasting benefit both
to the city and to the port of Adelaide.
