This Company has been established for the purpose of
purchasing a property in the kingdom of Sweden, known as
the Gellivar L Estates, with the v.ew of developing its great
resources.
The property comprises—
(A) About 1,200,000 acres of land, 900,000 acres of which are
freehold, and the remaining 300,000 acres can be made of the
same tenure. More than 500,000 acres consist of good forests
of red and white pines ; 100,000 acres are already under cul-
tivation or fit for it; and fur .her extensive districts will
become available for agricultural purposes.
(B) The Gellivara iron bed is probably the largest and
most roductive in the world, extending over nearly three
square miles. The ore consists partly of hematite and partly
of protoxide of iron, without any visible trace of pyrite,
yielding on the average 65 per cent. of pure metaL
The mountain was surveyed in 1857 by a practical English
mining engineer, Mr. Thomas, F.G.S., and he reported his
opinion to be that—
' By adopting a systematic mode of working, there may be
readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very
fine magnetic ironstone. readily obtainable by levels, and
without the application of any draining machinery; and that,
no doubt, even this large quantity might be materially
creased by removal of top rubbish andsvegetation on the line
of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found necessary
to apply any machinery for drainage."
The mountain was likewise inspected in 1812 by Professor
Erdmann, Chief Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in
Sweden. and, according to his report, a great number of the
veins are estimated at from to 200 feet in thickness, and
about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one single vein
may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million
tons of ore.
(C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast
furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building, yard, &o.
The greater portion of this property was purch vied from
the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in
Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confinedto
the wood business) and to a gradual extension of the cultiva-
tion of the land.
The wood business yields very favourable results. The
annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards,
or about 33,0,4) loads, costing on an average £3, and selling
readily for shipment to Engiand, France, Spain, &c.., at prices
equal to an average of £1 ss. per standard, free on board at
the shipping ports, thus showing a profit of £1 55. er stan-
dard. This production can b 3 considerably increased by the
erection of more sawmills.
The value of the iron ore is increased by the circumstance
that, without encroaching on the timber adapted for more
valuable purposes, tie forests of the estates and the waste
wood at the different sawmills give an abundant supply of
charcoal, at a low cost, so that 25,000 tons of pig iron can
readily be made at a cost of £1 19s. per ton, free on board at
the shipping port, while the present selling price is above
£4 per ton.
A ready sale of the ore tray be safely calculated on at the
estimated price of 15 s. per ton, free on b.)ard, at the s-ipping
port. t. the owners of th, for sts and s-twm;ils on both the
s atedish and Finland side of the Gulf of Bothnia, woo have
now large quantities of wood annually warted, which they
could turn into value by making ollarcoa: of it if they could
obtain good iron ore at a moderate cost tor smelting.
The only obstacle for working the mineral property has
bee , the oifficulty of transport of the ore from the mountain
to the furnaces at,el shipping port. The Sw .2dish Govern-
ment and D et, fu ly appreciating the great benefit, which
the working of three valuable mines would have on the
national pro,perity, have now lent their aid by granting a
considerable subvention for facilitating the transport.
Very careful .tirveys have proved that the mo=t economi-
cal means of transport will be by a ra lway from the iron
mountain to the river Lute, a distance ef about sixty Eneli-h
miles, and by further making two short canai o avoid
rapids and fat s, which will render that river navigab e to
the port el Gaddvik in the Gu I of Bothnia.
The entire cost of thi, railway, including rolling stock,
and of the two canals, will not exceed £232,000, and toward.;
thi the Swedi h Government and Diet have granted a -uh-
vention to the ,mount of 850,000 rix dollars, cr about
£48,000.
This Company has cont-acted to purchase all these valu-
abie estates for the sum of (225,000, in order to carry on and
extend the wood busies a, to extend the cultivation of the
lan to work the mineral wealth of the property, and to
cons met for this purpose the railway from the Gellivara iron
mountain to the river Lule and the two canal , on that river.
For these purposes a capital of £500,000 is required.
The presen stock, about 8,000 standards of manufactured
wood goods, will be taken over from the vendors at their
actual cost price, whereby a considerable profit wi .1 be directly
gained by the Company.
Three years will be required to construct the railroad
and the canals, so as to bring the iron business into full
operation.
The returns of the undertaking may then be fairly esti-
mated as under :-
Ist. From the sale of 60,000 tons of iron ore to pro-
prietors of furnaces in Sweden and Finland, at a
profit of 6s. per ton
2d. From the production of 25,000 tons of nig iron at
the Company's own furnaces at a profit of £2 Is

The D rectors have received promises of large contracts for
the construction of carriages and other business as soon as
the company is in condition to commence active operations ;
and the business intended to be undertaken not being of a
speculative nature, but well defined, and yielding very large
profits to other persons now engaged in them.
The Directors, at the Second Half-Yearly Meeting of the
United Kingdom Rolling Stock Company, have just declared
a Dividend at the rate of 6 per cent., free of Income Tax, for
the past Six Months. The amount to the credit of profit and
loss was equal to the payment of a Dividend at the rate of 8
per cent. per annum; but in the present early stage of the
Company's existence, it has been thought better to carry
over the balance to the next half year.
Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained of
the brokers, or of the solicitors, or at the offices of the Com-

A sharp frost at night did not promise particularly well
for the sport to-day, but the warm rays of the sun soon
made it good going, and by 1 30 a much larger assemblage
than yesterday had made its way to the course. The Lin-
colnshire Handicap was the one subject of speculation and
comment. Not that betting was in any degree brisk on the
occasion; the easy victory of Anglo• Saxon the previous
day seeming to point to a foregone conclusion on this. A
strong party, however, went for Benjamin, the representa-
tive of the French stable, turned loose at Gat 121 b. They
were rewa-ded for their sagacity by his easy winning; the
Duke de Morny running second with Partisan; so our
neighbours have began the season in this country well.

BPORfING INTELLIGENCE,

LINCOLN SPRING MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.

PLYMOUTH, Feb. 24.

The Union Company's mail steamship Saxon,
with the above mails, arrived here this afternoon.
Her dates are—Cape the 20th, St. Helena the 29th
ult., and Ascension the 2d instant. She brings 40
passengers.
The governor was to leave Table Bay on Jan. 21
in the Narcissus for Algot% Bay, en route for
Graham's Town, where the governor's visit was to
be marked by the townspeople with triumphal
arches, bonfires, and illuminations.
It was not known what measures the governor
intended to bring before the Parliament. A batch
of new taxation bills were expected, but on what
interest the imposts were to be laid had not been
announced.

The governor had ordered the stoppage of all
public works, the insufficient supplies provided by
the Parliament last year being exhausted.
The condition of colonial finances was
beginning
to attract attention. It was expected that not-
withstanding every possible curtailment of the
current expenditure, yet by June next the tem-
porary loans necessary to eke out the treasurer's
•
resources would be increased to at least £lOO,OOO. •
The commander of the forces was to accompany
the governor, and make a tour of inspection of the
various military stations and outposts. It was
expected that the head-quarters would again be
established at Graham's Town.
Telegraphic intelligence received at Graham's
Town on Jan. 8 states that all was quiet oa the
prophet had
arisen, advising the Kaffirs to sow plentifully for
frontier, but that another Lax
three years, and not to dispose of the crops, but to
store them up, as after three years no corn would
grow. This was thought to be a design to provide
alone for campaigning purposes,
Advocate Brand, President Elect of the Free
State, had left Cape Town for Bloemfontein, the
seat of the Free State Government. He was feted
in the colonial towns through which he passed.
Fresh disturbances had occurred in the Trans-
vaal, in which Pretorius was said to have had a
discreditable share. An attempt had been made
to oust Van Rensebang from the presidency in
favour Pretorius, but was expected to fail.

25 to 1 agst Partisan.
The start was delayed some time in consequence of seve-
ral of the light weights breaking away, in the first of which
Ess Bouquet, overpowering her rider, ran the course
throughout, and when taken back resolutely refused to face
her horses. When the flag was lowered Fluke rushed to the
front, but in a few strides he was headed by Despair, who
with Partisan and the favourite, Ess Bouquet, and Benja-
min lying up, made the running to the first turn, where
Partisan headed him and came on with a clear lead, which
he held into the straight, where he was joined by Anglo.
Saxon, the pair being joined half-way up by Benjamin, who
headed them in a few strides, and won in a canter by five
lengths, Partisan defeating the favourite by a length for
second, a similar distance separating the second and third.

Betting-2 to 1 each agst Tolurno and Avalanche, and
100 to 15 agst Camperdown.
Avalanche, incompany with Camperdown,Baron of Avon,
and Lady of the Isles, cleared the first flight of hurdles a
length or two in advance of Tolurno, close up with whom
came Confidence, Hetman, and Cronstadt bringing up the
rear—some distance in the'r track. Rounding the lower
turn Avalanche took a decided lead—but on reaching the
flight of hurdles halfway up the hill she was again chal-
lenged by Camperdown, who was closely followed by Baron
of Avon, Lady of the Isles, and Confidence, the lot running
in close company along the far-side. On reaching the mate-
post the two latter were disposed of, and Tolurno for a brief
period flattered his backers by carrying his colours to the
front, but dying away, as they reached the T.Y.C. post the
race was left with Avalanche, Camperdown, and Baron of
Avon, who ran together to the last flight of hurdles, which
Camperdown cleared slightly in advance of the favourite,
and won in a canter by a length. Tolurno, who ran past.
the pulling-up horses, was a bad third. The others stopped
on the post. On returning to scale an objection was lodged
against the winner on the ground of his owner being in the
forfeit list, which was left for the decision of the stewards.

_ _

Bolingbroke was the first away, and came over the firsi

flight of hurdles slightly in advance of the favourite, who
was closely followed by Pigeon, Cadet, Mary Hill, and Miss
Rathbone, the others following at wide intervals past the

stand. Proceeding up the hill, Creole went to the fore and
somewhat increased the pace, Pigeon going on second, and
Cadet third, when positions were retained round the win-
ning field to the flight of hurdles near the bottom turns,
which the leading horses cleared very cleverly, but Miss
Rathbone, less fortunate, fell in them, and was left some
distance in the rear. On entering the meadows, Creole in•.
creased his lead of Pigeon, Sorceress going on third, Tan-
cred fourth, with Cadet and Sir Richard next ; the others
presenting a beaten appearance. No alteration oceurred in
their positions, Creole holding his own to the end and win-
ning in a canter by five lengths, a bad third, Cadet was
fourth, Miss Rathbone fifth, Tancred sixth, and Mary Hill
and Emblem, side by side, next; Bolingbroke trotted in
last.

SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.—Last evening an in-
quest was held in Leman-street, St. Saviours, on the
body of Joseph Chapman, aged 47. The evidence showed
that the deceased, who was a house-painter, had recently
exhibited symptoms of a return of mental disease, from
which he had previously suffered. On Sunday he managed
to elude the vigilance of his wife, and threw himself into a
cistern containing 14 inches of water. When discovered
and taken out life was extinct. The jury returned a verdict
of temporary insanity.
(ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIOway's Ointment and Pills.—
These highly-esteemed medicaments cannot be too strongly
recommended for curing most of the moladies to which
humanity is heir. They are as suitable for the child first
entering on the journey of life as for the old man tottering
towards its end. The ointment is a specific for cuts, bruises,
abrasions, and eruptions often witnessed in the nur-
sery, and it is no less efficient in healing up soundly and
permanently the chronic ulcers, which so often
heap misery on advanced years. By an early attention to
the instructions wrapped round each packet of ointment
and pills any moderately intelligent person may abridge or
avert the discomfort and misery of chronic ill health.

GERMANY AND DENMARK,

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
BERLIN. Feb. 22.

By this time you probably know positively not
only that the Prussians are at Bolding, but that
they mean to remai❑ there, and also to hold Godse
or some other point to the north-west, on the road
to Frederica; so that J utland is decidedly invaded.
It may be doubted, however, whethor such invasion

will, et least for the present, have such serious re-

sults as some here have anticipated. The stringency
of international law, or at least its enforcement,
seems to have slackened of late. With respect to this
occupation of a nook of Jutland by the allies, it ap-
pears that it was effected by Marshal Wrangel i❑
conformity with the general instructions with which
he was furnished at the commencement of the cam-

paign ; but probably the Berlin Government thought
he would again have referred to it before carrying
out that portion of the plan. Thus is explained the
declaration alleged to have been made in Vienna by
the Prussian Cabinet, that this Government was as
surprised as that of Austria on learning the event.
In Berlin to-day it is not believed that there is any
present intention of a more extensive occupation of
Jutland than that above indicated. A glance at the
plan. of Fredericia shows that it would be a pretty
hard nut to crack, if as well defended as we may
fairly expect that it would be. The gain to the
allies by their occupation of Holding and a small
portion of the adjacent country is supposed to be
that they will thereby hamper the enemy's commu-
nications between Jutland and the islands. They
cannot prevent, but they can impede them. It
may be asked if this advantage is an equivalent
for the political complications arising out of
the invasion of Jutland. Some people are in-

clined to treat these complications lightly, by
reason of the many rents that have lately been
with impunity made in the code of international
rights and of usages having force of law. Prussia
and Austria seize upon Schleswig, they say, as a
guarantee for Denmark's execution of her engage-
ments. They are not conquering or appropriating
the country, they merely hold it as a pledge. One
might suppose, therefore, that it was their duty to
maintain the status quo, and at lent to take nothing
out of the land, nor to destroy anything in it. We
find them, however, carrying away the guns from
the fortifications:—eight were lately exhibited,
which assuredly cost the Prussians neither killed nor
wounded, on one of the public squares of Berlin—
and the official Anzeiger has just informed us that
the works of the DAnnewerk and those of Fried-
richstadt are to be disarmed and razed. By what
right do the Germans dismantle the fortresses that
have been abandoned to them, and appropriate ord-
nance which does not belong to them, in a country
which they declare themselves to have become pos•
sessed of only as a material guarantee? And only
two days ago it was declared in official quarters here
that Prussia was not at war with Denmark ! With
the Guards at Kolding that silly figment can hardly
be maintained.

Among the vast number of persons in Germany who
busy themselves with journalism there is a certain
class which is particularly occupied with the compo-
sition or combination of news, chiefly for transmis-
sion by telegraph. The usual abode of these hatcbers
of canards is in the large cities, whence they purvey
novelties of their own fabrication to greedy telegraph
agencies. Since the war broke out not a few of those
gentlemen have abandoned their usual nests, and
have strayed forward as far as the Prussian cordon
would allow them, and they continue their incubat-

ing process in the towns of Schleswig. It is surpris-
ing how they succeed in imposing even upon some
of the more intelligent of the German journals. I
know cot whether the following precious specimen
of bush—one of the many daily inflicted upon us—
has met your eye : _ _

" Flensburg, Feb. 19, Night.

"The demonstrative march of the Prussian Guard
on Bolding is only intended to exercise a pressure
on the Western Powers, who are interposing to
bring about an armistice. No further advance is
ordered, but the recall of the Guard is, on the con-
trary, probable, as well as the conclusion of the ar-
mistice."

It would be difficult to express more absurdities
and misstatements in the same number of words.
Prussia, whom we know to be dead against an ar•
mistice, goes into Jutland to exercise a pressure on
the great Powera—or, as we must suppose the

writer to mean, if he means anything, to induce
Denmark to accept the suspension of arms, to which
she is known to be equally averse. As to its being
probable that an armistice will be agreed upon,
there is not a shadow of foundation for the state-
ment. According to all present appearances there
will be more fighting as soon as the necessary pre-
parations can be made. These may take some time,
owing to roads and weather. We are again in the
depth of winter, with heavy snow and hard frost.
Yesterday the snow was very severe ; to-day it is
milder, and more snow is falling. The last week of
February is little better than was the first. Letters
from officers describe their straits and privations up
in the front as very rigorous. Either the Danish
army had swept Schleswig of its stores, or the
riches of that duchy have been much exaggerated.
There is literally nothing to be bought there; the
troops live on their rations of meat and bread,
brought up from far in the rear; brandy and coffee,
which the climate and exposure render most de-
sirable supplies, are stated in some of the letters
referred to to be for the moat part wanting, while
the quarters afforded by the North Schleswig vil-
lages are generally very wretched.
A widely-circulated Belgian paper lately published
a telegram announcing that Gen. Manteuffel had
failed in the object of his mission to Dresden. This
is quite incorrect. The object was to prevent Fede-
ral reserves being sent into Holstein, and it was
attained ; not, however, it is related in political
circles here, until Gen. Manteuffel had given the
Saxon Government plainly to understand that
Prussia was resolved not to tolerate opposition on
the part of its puny neighbour, but would, if neces•
sary, have recourse to very strong means to over-
come its obstinacy. This announcement, employed
when all other arguments had failed, brought M.
von Beast to his senses.
The communication with Copenhagen is again in-
terrrupted, and letters have to go round by Sweden.

VIENNA, Feb. 2

Yesterday morning the Austrian Government
learned from Hadersheben in Schleswig that there
had been " an unimportant rencounter with the
enemy's cavalry at Gudsoe," a small place in the
Danish province of Jutland, to the north of the road
which leads from Kolding to Fredencia ; and later
in the day a telegram from Copenhagen announced
the arrival "of a considerable body of German
troops in Paaby and Eistrup in Jutland." The news
was not made known to the Vienna public until
yesterday evening, and when known but few per.
sons appeared to be fully aware of its importance.
Lite in the evening of yesterday I saw a person
who must be well acquainted with the opinions and
views of the Imperial Court and Cabinet, and he
gave me the assurance that the entry of German
troops into Jutland had both surprised and dis-
pleased the Emperor and his Ministers, "it
being a violation of one of the conditions of the
Austro• Prussian convention." A few hours ago
I had a long interview
with a person high
in office, and he requested me to state that the Im-
perial Government highly disapproved the step
which Marshal Wrangel had taken. In the course
of the morning I managed to acquire information
which will enable you to form a tolerably correct
idea of what has been doing here during the last
four and twenty hours. On the receipt of th© news
that there had been a collision with the Danish
cavalry on the northern side of the frontier of
Selikawig, Count Rechberg requested Baron Wer-
tiler, the Prussian Minister at this Court, to call on
